when TO CUT TOBACCO
Prominent Tobacco Man Gives Some
Good Suggestions TO Our
Farmers.

View, Ky. Aug. II. - Editor Record:
Will you be kind enough to give me
space in your paper to speak to the
farmers Of this county? ! want to say
to them in regard to their growing crop
Of tobacco not TO be in n hurry about
cutting their tobacco before Il ripens.
There Is a great deal Of sap in tobacco
now, and will be for some time yet.
There has been so much rain that Il
would be greatly against their interest
TO cut any tobacco before the middle Of
September. Let Il stand until the sap
ripens out OF Il. DO not touch Il with
a knife until Il is good ripe: then you
get the bright color and flavor. Better
have little field fire than to cut your
tobacco green.
This will make the finest crop Of
tobacco. II Il Is allowed 10
ripen, that We have had for ten years.
So keep the worms of, and when you
do cut do not let Il get sun-burned, we,
while cutting nor house burned. and
when you get Il well fred you will
certainly have selling crop. Be sure
to fire slowly. after getting well yel.
lowed, and keep a slow FIRE going for
two or three weeks. II you carry
out my plan and advice, let me know,
and will see that you get a good price
Cor your tobacco.
Now. ] am going TO ask every good
farmer In this and adjoining counties
10 meet with the Farmers' Club At
Marion on the S0th Of this month. next
Tuesday week. See To Il that you gei
your work In shape so that you can
spare a day TO attend this meeting.
and every farmer shouldattend. These
farmers organizations are now doing
n great deal Of good, and every farmer
should be willing to shoulder his part.
II you viii all come out | viii try and
post you up on this farmers movement
and give a full history Of the entire
tobacco question in all Of ia stages
from one end Of the world TO the other.
lwill close now by saying II you will
all come 20 Marion on the last day Of
this month you win be well paid for the
days work. Respectfully.

The Tide Is Full.

There is q tide in the affairs Of
men," says Shakespeare; another ad-
jures US that opportunity comes
knocking at a mans door but once;
Tom Lawson admonished that, Fate
hangs no red lights at the crossroads
Of mans life"
All this is concerning Of and ap-
pertaining to" Ollie James. His hesi-
fancy about announcing himself for
governor has recalled to the minds
Of many politicians the fact that o.
lie was almost forced into the toga
Of Senator Blackburn. The tide in
that instance fairly pulled the First
district congressman off his feet, bu
he recovered his balance. Then Judge
Paynter. who would not have run
had Ollie James consented, entered
the race and was elected.
Undoubtedly the desire Of other
aspirants in this district for his place
gave birth to the James boom, both
for senator and governor, but he
seems to be the man Of the hour. He
is better known and more popular
than any other candidate. He has
friends in both factions. He will re-
ceive the solid support Of his own
district, the Democratic Gibraltar.
But Ollie hesitated once and the
tide ran out, the under-current draw
ing the sands Of time in tickling
fashion between his toes. The tide is
at the food again and Ollie stands
reluctant on the shore Of opportunity.
He does not see the freighted argosies
coming in. He hears only the roar Of
breakers and sees the wrecks of polit-
ical ambitions that strew the beach.
He, perhaps, thinks the men who urge
him on are actuated by selfish motives,
and listens to the voices Of personal
friends. whose advice Is blunted by
their desire to assume no responsible
ty.
But Ollie must remember that he
holds tenure Of Office by no divine
right. There are other ambitious men
in the First congressional district, now
in the prime Of life, but who will be
past the age Of service when he is
ready voluntarily to retire from public
life. Thus far he has been accorded
undisputed succession. The time for
his embarking in the broader fields Of
craftsmanship has arrived. The tide
is bearing him on its bosom, the breeze
Of popularity is blowing off shore.
Does he hesitate, the tide may ebb.
the wind may shift and political
wreckers may make salvage Of his
craft. Ollie James will have a
McCrackeI county man to beat the
next time he is a candidate for the
congressional nomination, judging
from the temper Of the local aspirants.

Was Attacked While FEEDING
the Beast
Roy CrIder Is Terribly Mangled by
Animal Belonging TO Col.
Clark's Circus.
TORN FROM BEAST WITH Difficulty.

Fredonia, KY. Aug. 2O.-one Of the
most horrible accidents that has hap
pened here for some time was on Sun
day evening while feeding one Of the
leopards IN Col Clark's show, Roy,
the eldest son of Chas. Crider, was
very seriously hurt. The leopard
seized him by the back Of the head
with one paw and struck him with the
other, leaving four scratches on the
top Of his head about six inches long
and an inch wide and on the back Of
his head two very deep gashes, on his
ear slight scratch and just behind
his ear very deep cash. It took two
men to get the boy away from the
leopard and then the third man had to
knock it senseless before they could
get him. The physicians all being out
Of town il was some time before a
physician could be obtained, but final
ly DIR. Leeper came to their assistance.
The child being weakly his father OBJ
jected to having him chloroformed,
and while the doctors we're sewing up
the wounds his screams could be heard
for squares away.
Mrs. Crider stood the shock better
than most mothers could have done;
she went to work Immediately to try
TO relieve the boy Of so much pain.
He is getting along fairly well.

Miss Abercrompie, representing the

state that this home is supported by
the liberality and generosity Of Mis-
sionAry Baptist churches In Kentucky,
She makes this announcement for the
reason that the impression has become
prevalent that this particular Baptist
Orphans Home Is rich and does no,
need contributions and gifts. This
mistaken idea has found credenee from
the fact that Capt. Norton. Of Louis
vile. died and left nearly his entir,
estate to this home. but Miss Aber-
erombie points out that they have not
received n penny from this estate and
will not for several years yet This
estate has deprecated In value some

churches and people everywhere are
warned not to put too great hopes OF
what help the estate will be but give
