whats the user"

whats the use?'
This sentence sums up the reason
why Henry MCGEE, superintendent at
the decentralization Basket
company, resigned from the board of
health, and the reason why Charles
F. Yates says he will leave.
Mr.. McGee and Mr.. Yates we're
witnesses in a nuisance case in the
police court this morning. It was
distillery and the case was continued.
The alleged nuisance consisted of
distillery slops, said to be fed to
cows.
Here's fair sample of the con-
sideration we get in the police court,
after giving up our time to the work
of sanitation" said Mr.. Niece.
This distillery has a contract with
the owner Of cows to fatten the an
imals with distillery Stops until
certain time. The case is continued
until the contract expires. Then the
distiller will come into court aud say
he has abated the nuisance and he
will be dismissed They're all dismiss
ed in here. What's the use OF our los
ing half days work for nothing?
"The board of health can meet
and pass resolutions and give orders
to the health officer; but what's the
use of giving him orders, if he doesn't
pay any attention to them? The san
itary inspectors should report every
morning to the health officer and get
instructions. They don't do it, and we
don't know whether they are attend
ing to their business or not, except
as we are summoned on their respon-
sibility to came here to police court
and watch the Judge turn people
loose. Certainly, the inspectors can
not be needing instructions from the
health department, when they don't
get any. And the worst of it is, that
we haven't enough members on the
board of health with nerve enough to
elect a health officer, who will at
tend to these matters Systematically"
Charles +. Yates, of Mechanics
burg, sawyer, is also Disguised and
tired of losing time in police court
land he said he would resign.

McCracken County Dark Tobacco
Growers association will make a
startling showing this year in sales,
both in quantity. quality and prices.
The sales this year already have
doubled in pounds of tobacco and
prices. The season is nearing a
close and indications point to even
better prices next season because of
a scarcity of tobacco.

heads of tobacco have been sold so
far this season by the dark tobacco
association" declared Mr.. T. c. Gra-
ham. "and McCracken county Will be
prominent in the tobacco market be-
cause of this wonderful showing.
Prices on Tugs ranged from sc to 50
per 100 pounds, and leaf brought
from SIS to SIS per 100 pounds. This
is twice as much tobacco as was dis
posed of last season. Before the as
ISOLATION was organized tobacco was
bought independently, and farmers
received every kind of price. Since
the combination wonderfully bene-
fetal results are shown for the rails
ers."

JAMES P. SMITH WILL RUN

MIR. James p. Smith has been in
duced to reconsider his determina-
ton not to run for the Republican
nomination for mayor. He announces
his candidacy and It is probable that
President Earl Palmer. of the board
of aldermen, will enter the race
against him Thursday.
II will be a race for the mayoralty
nomination at the Republican city
convention Thursday afternoon at 3
o'clock at the city hall. Fifty Repub-
licans today present a call on Pres
ident Earl Palmer. of the board of
aldermen, to accept the nomination.
for mayor. the call being published
on the editorial page of this issue of
The Sun. Yesterday similar de-
mand was made on Mr.. James p.
Smith that he allow his name to be
used
1t is learned today that Attorney
A. Y Martin has consented to ac-
cept the nomination for city attor-
ney. He is one of the brightest and
highest principled of the younger at
torneys at the bar and will add
strength to the ticket.
Alderman Palmer has all of the
Republican aldermen, and council
men, with few exceptions, lined up,
and good host of other voters. The
Smith contingent seems equally as
strong. and each man will go into the
convention confident of his nomina-
ton. +,
a feature of the Smith candidacy
is the strong call on him from Dem
ocrats dissatisfied with the city pri-
mary. There is no concealing the
fact that the element is large and
will be a factor in the November
election.
Interest in the other offices to be
nominated for Thursday is keen, too.
Col. j. j. Dorian WIN run for treas
urer again.
Interest in the nominations for
aldermen and councilmen is no less
keen, and from the men proposed for
the Offices an undoubtedly strong
ticket will be selected
MIR. Smith Accepts.
Mr.. James p. Smith makes the fol-
lowing reply to the demand that he
make the race:
III the judgment of the city con-
vention on Thursday next, to which
the citizenship of Paducah looks for
a winning ticket. and which will re
dound to the general good of the
community, l should receive the
nomination for the Office of mayor, |
shall not take issue, but shall make
the race. The strongest man in the
party should be named, and | urge
the convention to be cautious, and to
consider we'll all phases and condi-
lions. and let nothing influence them
to my support, except for the good OF
Paducah and the belief that can
win In the general election.
