PLANTING TREES FOR TIES.
Railroads Providing for Day When
Forests Are Gone.

The most perishable of the factors
that enter into a railroads "mainte-
nance of way" accounts, the ties, are
in modem practice reckoned for fur
thest ahead. The Atchison is. the
latest road to adopt the plan Of
growing. its own ties. which means
that about 20 years from now the
construction department viii be cut
ting its own lumber, provided, OF
course, that in the intervening gen
Grafton ties of steel or sleepersj OF
stone or concrete after the English
fashion have not come into general
use.
Dispatches from the west, an
nounced that the Atchison had paid
$1,000 for ranch In California con-
tanning 1853 acres on which to grow
eucalyptus trees to supply the road
with ties. 1t takes the tree, which is
a relatively rapid grower, about 20
years to arrive at a diameter large
enough for the purpose and each tree
will then furnish from six to eight
ties. In order to give the road a
continuous supply about $50 acres
will be planted each year and at the
end of 20 years, when the first plan
tation is ready for the ak, the plant
ing will begin all over again.
The railroads of the middle west
began the planting of the eucalyptus
groves some years ago and there are
now in Kansas several such planta-
tions of a fair growth, though none
has yet reached an age sufficient for
cutting. If the present rate of con-
sumption, which has been estimated
at SO,OO0,0OO ties a year, continues
they will all be needed.

CLAIMS TWAS
ACCIDENTAL
One in Jail and Other
Thought to be Mortally
Wounded.

Jack Tandy was shot and perhaps
fatally wounded by Harvey Davit
Sunday. The parties are negoes anC
live about six or seven miles south Of
the city. Tandy was shot in the
bowels and it is not thought that he
can recover. From the best infor-
nation obtainable it appears that
Tandy and Davie had gone to cab
in on. the farm of Mr.. E. c. Cayce
to visit some of their friends. The
men appeared to be the best OF
friends just a few minutes before
the shooting occurred. Shortly after
their arrival on the porch of the
cabin a scuffle eHsued and shot was
heard. Parties who heard the re-
port of the pistol went to the cabin
amp found Tandy lying on the porch.
Davie left the premises Immediately,
but was later arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Cravens and brought here
and placed in Jail.
The prisoner claims that the shoot
ing was accidental and says that he
and Tandy got into a friendly scuf-
file, when the latter, who had his
arms around his [Davie'sl waist,
pressed his revolver, causing it to
fire.
The examing trialhas not yet been
set, and the date will probably not
be fixed until the result of Tandy's
wound is known.

The Madisonville Journal gives
utterance to this remarkable ed
itOrial expression:
''The planter in the "Black Patch"
may not have a very extended or
elevated mind; his imagination may
not be the most lively, nor the most
pOetical, but he possesses a very
solid, very logical, very common
sense mind. He knows right from
wrong; he knows he has been
wronged, and he is going to have
Justice and right, if--if-well, if the
dynamite and parlor matches hold
out, and there are lots ofdynamite
and matches" 81,
This statement is a libel on the
people it attempts to speak for. No
planter" or other good citizen who
= possesses common sense" and
knows fright from wrong" will
endorse the commission of such
crimes as the destruction of other
peoples property, as suggested by
the Journal, No wonder we are
breeding anarchists in Western Ken
lucky, when the papers read by the
people hold to such editorial opin-
ions.

Hog CHOLERA
The Problem Of a Cure is
NOW Solved.

The much dreaded disease, hos
cholera, has lost its terror to thosl
who are posted on modern method
of treating the disease. 1t is now 1
durable disease. Any practica
farmer who will follow the instruc
tions given by the manufacturers
can stop the worst outbreak of dis
ease that ever came and save almost
every hog able to take the treatment
and restore the herd to thrift in Z
few days time.
The Snoddy Remedy, manufacture
ed by The DR.. j. H. Snoddy Remedy
Co., of Alton, ILL.,, has been used il
this country and has proven itself q
positive cure for the much dreaded
disease. 1t is now on sale in Hop
kinsville, by the Planters Hardware
Co., Inc, who will furnish any farm.
er or hog raiser one of Snoddy'l
books on hog cholera, free Of charge
who will call at their store for it
Full directions for curing hog
cholera is fully explained in this lit
tie booklet. Every farmer should
have one. They are free, and it is
hoped that the people will study w
on this new method of treating the
disease so they can feel safe from
the disease when raising hogs and
also so they will understand how to
keep the cholera out of this country.
The remedy is also OH sale by Il. w.
Stegar e. Dickson, down at Mason
vile, who will also furnish the
farmer copy of Snoddy's book on
hog cholera, who viii call there for
it.
This remedy is the greatest worm
remedy and thrift producer for hogs
there is on the market. The extra
gain they will make from it's effect
will return the farmer an average of
SIS in this extra gain for every dol
lars worth of the medicine he uses
properly and right. Hence the
remedy is not an expense to farm
er but is a profitable Investment,
and one that. pays a greater profit
than anything else on the farm the
same amount of money can be inr
vested intOs
The remedy is certain in its action
when properly used. 1t is impossi-
bic for a cholera germ or worm of
any kind to live in hog while that
hog is under the influence of this
remedy. The remedy will destroy
every worm or germ Of this kind and
the hog will get well in short while
and be as thrifty as he ever was.
There are many limitations of this
remedy being put on the market.

not buy an imitation of the goods.

SLOWER SPEED BASIS.
Southern Railroad Will Re-
wise Their Schedules.

Following is copy of telegram
which Mr.. T. c. Powell, fifth vice
president of the Southern Railway,
has just received from Mr.. w. J.
Finley, president of his company.
Owing to the crowded condition
of some of it's single track lines, and
the double track work, including
the revision of the grades and align
ment now under way, for tae pur-
pose of relieving the crowded con-
dition of the crowded single tracks,
the Southern Railway Company finds
it difficult to maintain the schedules
of some of its passenger trains as
now scheduled, and will, in conse-
quence, in the early part Of Janua-
ry, ensuing, revise these schedules,
putting them on the basis of slower
speed with the expectation of being
able to maintain them, and believing
that under the circumstances this
arrangement will be more satisfac-
tory to the public.
The double track work is being
vigorously pushed and on other parts
of the road where double track work
is not now under way, but where
traffic is heavy, passing tracks are be
ing put in, those already in extend
ed, to facilitate the moving of trains
such passing track work being done
with the ultimate object of utilizing
it as double track when double track
work may be undertaken in those
localities.
The improvement in passenger
tram movement will naturally inn
prove the movement of freight
trains.
The Southern Railway Company
has arranged to shorten its opera
ting divisions, increasing the mum
Der from fourteen to twenty-seven
each one of these divisions to be il
charge of a superintendent. Mer

The Cadiz Record. paper owned
In part by the Attorney General Of
the State, is the only paper we have
so far seen to criticise the steps
taken in HopkinsviIle to prevent mob
rule within twenty-miles of its own

cordant note in the fight for law and
order:
The Hopkinsville papers could
much better serve their people if
they would try to expose the recent
violations of the law by the Stand
ard Oil Company in that city, than
they are in using all kinds of phrases
and terms in reference to the recent
disaster at Princeton and blowing
about what they will do if sim
liar attempt should be made in Hop
kinsville, which is calculated to keep
this bitter feeling alive rather than
quell the disturbance. There is
nothing in all this fuss they are
making except shot air." and if
there was any desire upon the part
of anyone to go into Hopkinsville5 it
would be done just as easy as it was
