MEETS DEATH IN
AN AWFUL MANNER.
Invalid Wife and Mother is
Burned to Death Before
Eyes of Relatives.
The jacksonville Journal says:


Mrs. Newt Franklin, a highly re-
spected lady living in the Charleston
country, met a horrible death early
Tuesday morning. Mrs. Franklin has
been an invalid for several years, be-
ing unable to leave her room at all.
She was in a room to herself Monday
night, and early the next morning
members of the family were awakened
by cries for help from the afflicted
woman.
Fer husband and son rushed to
her room, broke open the door and
were Mortified to see the room a SOL
id mass of flames. The cries of the
woman were very pitiful, and her son,
Walker Franklin, tried to rescue his
mother, but the heat was so intense
that he could not get near the bed
and the woman was burned to a crisp.
Her son was seriously burned in try
ing to rescue the unfortunate woman,
and is in a bad condition.
How the fire originated no one is
able to state, and the first known
of it was when the cries of Mrs. Frank
lin were heard. The family are grief
stricken over the unfortunate affair,
and have the sympathy of the entire
community
Mrs. Franklin was the wife of Newt
Franklin, a well-to-do farmer of that
country. She was a good Christian
lady and had many relatives and
friends who are deeply grieved to
learn of her death in this horrible
manner.

THE POINT IS GAINED
In Fight for Control of the
Tobacco Market.
FARMERS BOSS THE SITUATION
Manufacturers Must Look to
Society of Equity for
Their Supply.
The Winchester Democrat says:

The Winchester Democrat says:
John Harris, manager of the Ninth
Street Tobacco Warehouse, Louisville,
made the statement that from the
present indications there would be
practically no receipts or sales of
white hurley tobacco in Louisville
after April IS. The same conditions
prevail on the Cincinnati markets.
This indicates that the crop is now in
the hands of Equity. With this as
basis we are able to figure something
of the present tobacco situation. Last
year at this time 100000 pounds
more of tobacco had been sold on the
Louisville market than has been sold
there up to the present time this year.
Sales on theCincinnati market amount
to half what they did at this time last
year. And to this the fact that the
American Tobacco Company have re-
ceived about half as much this year as
they did last, in their county dry
houses and II appears that there is a
shortage in the amount going on the
market. Comparison of the amount
received to date with the usual
amount of the crop, shows that less
than one-half so far has been mark
eted.
But We have it that the receipts
have ceased. Where is the rest of the
crop? There is but one answer. 1t is
not in the hands of the spectators
nor manufacturers. 1t is not stored by
the warehouse companies. But re-
markable to state, for the first time in
the history of the white hurley dis
trict, the market is cornered and the
producer holds the corner.
There have been signs of discourage
ment among some members of the
Equity, some suspicious, even, that
there had not been as much signed as
reported. But the present prospect
is bright enough to make almost GER
tain the statement that the tobacco
fight is won.
The signing of the 1907 crop will be
another important factor in bringing
the situation to a focus. With less than
half crop available this year outside
of Equity and an equal or greater per
cent. signed up for next year, We be-
lieve it is only a question of few
months until the growers may dictate
to the manufacturing interests their
own terms of surrender.

THE WET SIDE WON
In greensboro, but County
Went Dry.
VERY LARGE VOTE WAS POLLED
Liquor Men We're Well Or
gained and Much Mon
ey Was Spent.

BY a majority of 442 votes the
wet" interests carried the city of
Greensboro in the local option cleo
ton there Saturday. The county, as
had been conceded, went dry by a
majority of about 1900 votes. Thous-
ands of dollars were spent on the
election by both sides, and delega-
tons of liquor men from all over the
State were present to watch the
progress of the struggle.
In all 1886 votes were cast in the
city election, of which 1864 were
wet" and 1922 were dry More
than 5000 votes were cast in the city
and county. Both sides began work
early in the morning, and the fight
was waged vigorously until the clos
ing of the poles. All things consid-
cred the election was the most ex-
citing ever held in greensboro and
Daviess county.
People from the country districts
began arriving in the city shortly
after noon, and by 1 o'clock it was
conservatively estimated that there
We're more than $4,000 people on the
streets. The whiskey people, head
ed by a band, paraded the principal
thoroughfares with banners and trans
parencies concerning increased taxes
and similar arguments.
Soon the Prohibitionists obtained
carriages and wagons and followed
this parade with banners appropriate
to their cause and singing hymns.
There are forty-six saloons in Ow-
ensboro which will remain open as
The result of the election. There are
also twelve distilleries in Davies
county, and these interests brought
about fifty liquor men from all parts
Of the State.
The election was not only of vital
interest to the liquor men of Ow-
ensboro, but if Greensboro had gone
lfy, it is believed that every city in
Kentucky, with the possible exception
Of Louisville, would have been in dan
ger of having the saloons voted out.
Considering the able leaders on the
side of the anti-prohibitionists and
the veteran-like manner in which
they delivered the negro vote to the
side of the vets, the temperance advo-
Gates put up a game fight, and new
er lost hope until the last precinct
had been heard from. The vote, how
ever, is very encouraging to the Pro-
hibitionists, as they made di5tinc' i've
gains over previous contests. The
election will be repeated three years
hence.
The liquor men got their vote out
and we did not" said a prohibition
list leader. There were over six hun
dred of the registered voters who did
not get to the polls. In the country
the drys were victorious by good ma
jority. The election in the city, un-
der the county unit law, was separate
from the county election. There were
only two other precincts outside of
the city where liquor was sold.
