SECRETARY SHARP
Gives Excellent Advice Concerning
Delivery OF Tobacco at
Pooling Houses.

At a meeting of the Finance Com
mittee of the Green River District
held at Owensboro last Saturday it
was decided that the pooling houses
for said district should be opened
November Is, for receiving the
1906 crop of tobacco. In regard to
stripping and delivering said crop,
we think word of caution should
be given to those entitled TO pool
their tobacco.
We should not strip late sappy to-
bacco for early deliveries, as it
would lose weight so much Il
would be unfair TO those who had
their tobacco well cured. Also we
should be careful to keep our dam
aged tobacco separate from that
which is sound. We will get better
grading by doing 80. Also your
grades will be higher if trash and
Jugs are not mixed in same hands.
The same rs true with Jugs ard
leaf. Let's exercise little care in
these matters and get better grades
when we deliver and therefore more
satisfaction in our dealings. In all
respects let US practice Equity. Re-
member that the incentive for CIV
ing short weights. has been remov-
ed, hence we should put our tobac-
co in the best possible condition.
Locals don't forget about appoint
ing your vigilance committee to
look after our pooling interests as
recommended by our county union.
Said committee should be prompt in
reporting to Finance Committee any
one who has pledged his tobacco
and attempts to dump same. Like
wise any one who did not pledge and
should attempt to pool.

Sec'y. Finance Committee.

FOUND DEAD
In Adams Fork Greek Under |.
c. Bridge, Was Bill H0-
heimer.
Especial to Tue Republican,


Narrows, KY, October 30.-The
dead body of Bill Hoheimer was
found lying in the bed Of Adams
Fork under the |. c. railroad
bridge, two miles north Of here, by
a passer-by, early Monday morning.
Esq. w. A. Dean was notified and
held an inquest over the body. The
natural inference that Hoheimer
had been struck by train was dis
sipated upon an examination of his
body, upon which no marks of
violence were found. 1t was appar-
ent from the circumstances that he
had gone into the creek for the pur-
pose of getting some water to take
a dose of medicine, as the glass.
spoon and bottle of medicine were
found on his person. He had care
fully placed his fiddle on the water
barrel at the end of the trustle and
descended the bank on the south
side of the creek. The creek bed is
wide at this point, but only a small
stream of water was running along
the north bank. In crossing the
Shiny creek bottom he had fallen
once, but staggering to his feet,
walked a. few feet further, near the
water, where he fell and died with
out an apparent struggle. Hoheim-
err formerly lived near Horton where,
it is reported. he has wife and sew
eral children, but it is said that he
has not been living with them late
ly. Hoheimer was last seen alive
about eight o'clock Sunday morn
ing walking on the railroad near
where his body was found later. He
had been suffering with dropsy for
some time and the Coroner's jury
ascribed his death to that disease.
The identity of the unfortunate man
was not fully established until late
in the day, and the arrangements,
already under way for the burial of
the body in local graveyard, were
proceeded with without notice to his
immediate family.

Mr.. A. W. Davidson Dead.

Mr. Asa w. Davidson. one of
Hartford's best known citizen. died
last Friday morning at the home of
his son. Mr.. j. +. Davidson. Of bill
Gus troubles of which he had been a
long sufferer. His daughter. Mrs.
Margaret Fowler. of Gulfport, Miss,
arrived about an hour before death
ended his suffering. The other
daughter, Mrs. Sophia Fowlkes, did
not arrive until Saturday and the
remains We're embalmed to hold
them until she arrived.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. j. A. Lewis at Liberty
church Sunday at IL o'clock, after
which interment took place in the
family burying ground.
Mr.. Davidson was a soldier in the
Federal army during the Civil War
and always took a keen interest in
all movement leading to the organi-
zation of the old veterans.
His demise will be keenly noted by
Preston Morton Post of which he was
leading member as well as by a
host of relatives and friends.

cent. to realize anything upon them.
1t Is not true that the Republicans
were in control of the State. They
were never in control of Kentucky
in the history of the party. When
they had the Governor and the
House of Representatives, the DEM
ocrats had the Senate. 1t was with
the consent Of this Democratic Sen
ate that at the special session of the
Legislature in 1897, revenue meas
ure was enacted bonding $500, 600 of
this indebtedness, and providing for
the payment of interest on the cur
rent warrants which made them
good for their face value. This in
debtedness, contracted under Demo
cratic rule, was all discharged dur
ing the Bradley administration.
The raise of q cents in the tax rate,
which was done to meet the interest
on State warrants was supported by
Gov. Beckham. then member of
the House of Representatives.
The Governor defended the ma
chine, declaring that if he had Of
fees enough at his disposal, he could
make every Democratic Office seeker
a good machine advocate. He did
not say as much, but it is to be pre-
sumed that this is the reason his late
Legislature created so many SEEM
ingly needless offices. They were
used to stop the mouths Of the OPP
position. This may be good meat
for the machine, but it is hard on
the tax payers. who with all the
money collected from the National
Government. without those needless
offices and additional salaries, might
be given tax rate of 40 cents, in
stead OF so cents and 10 per cent.
added by an allwise State Board of
Equalization.
The appearance of the Governor
in Hartford may somewhat stem the
tide against him here. but the indi-
cations are that Senator McCreary
will carry the county.

George Slough, our old chimney

says the people of Silverton don 7
know what sweep looks like. He was
in Silverton in the month of April
canvassing for chimneys to clean, when
the city mayor and marshal approached
him, and wanted to know what right
he had to go from house to house in
such attire, with his long peaked hat,
and soaring all the women out of their
shoes. They informed him he had bet.
ter leave town, as he would not get
anything to do. Mr.. Slough laughed at
them, and cleaned up the town before
he left. And, what was better, the
business men asked him to come again
next year.
