EVENING WRAPS.

Opera and theater wraps are al.
ways the bone of contention with de.
signers, who rarely can be brought
to agree on the prevailing styles or
trimmings. The majority are, how.
ever, undoubtedly made in cloak
rather than coat form, and, although
the kimono is waived In favor Of the
Spanish cloak, the Chinese and Jap
anese influence Is still marked.

A WASHINGTON MEETING.

Hundred of the representative bus
inssS men OF the South are gathered
today In Washington discussing the
needs OF this great section oI the
country and planning ways and
means for letting the rest of the
country know OIL our resources and
the unparalleled industrial develop
ment that Is taking place.
In Eastern Kentucky we have
riches untold. The surface Of the
earth has not been even scratched.
Our coal and iron are exhaustless.
But while Northern capital develops
the mines OF Alaska, the Northwest,
the Pacific coast. it passes us by.
The South is The unknown land in
America. Much of it is our own
fault, We have lived within our
selves. We have felt ourselves bet
ter than the rest of the country. But
the awakening is at hand. And this
great commercial congress is one or
the steps taken by the men of the
Southland to let the world know that
we are ready for industrial devel-
opment, that we welcome foreign
capital, that we are ready to trade
as the rest of the world trades.

THE TOBACCO BANQUET.

To look at the men who attended
the great tobacco banquet Tuesday
night is a sufficient answer to all
queries as to how the Burley So
ciety succeeded in its great fight
against the trust. We have never
seen gathering of hundred men
who more plainly showed on their
faces intelligence and determination.
They are OF the Anglo Saxon blood
which never In the old days knew
when they were whipped. They
might have answered with Paul
Jones when called on to surrender
In the first great American sea fight
and when the Bon Homme Richard
was sinking under him. 81 have

The banquet was in every way a
great success. 1t was typical Of the
way Winchester and Clark county do
things. The committee in charge is
entitled to the thanks of all.

KENTUCKY TAX LAWS.

The newspapers of the State are
working up an interest In the tax
laws. They are slowly educating the
people to some OF the many iniquities
of the present system. The people OF
Kentucky have become so accustomed
to the burden that they do not real
ize how iniquitous it is.
The Constitution requires a gen.
eral property tax; that is, it requires
all classes OF property 20 be taxed
alike Tor all purposes. The deposit

any interest whatever is taxed the

a good income. The mortgage Oh
the real estate is taxed at its full
value and the real estate on which
the mortgage is an incumbrance is
taxed at its full value, thus consti-
tuting double taxation.
As things stand it is impossible
for our people to invest in such
railroad and industrial bonds as must
necessarily be issued if the resources
of the State are properly developed,
for such bonds usually pay but from
four or five per cent interest.

The Farmers '76.

Judge Ed. O'Rear was greeted with
tremendous applause when he rose
to speak. His early advocacy of the
Burnley Society was evidently remem-
bered by the hearers. The Judge said
he intended to be serious. He re-
newed the events that lead up to the
Revolutionary War and compared the
spirit of the fathers with the spirit
necessary today.
The Anglo-Saxon ancestors of
Kentuckians had fought to be free
men, they had refused to be dictated
to or owned by anybody. So with
their sons today. The great tobacco
trust had sought to Cypress and en-
slave them. By lawful methods the
Burley Society had met and con-
quered. They should not throw away
the great victory won but should
maintain their organization and meet
the enemy at all times.
He paid an eloquent tribute to
women and reminded all that it was
the woman at home that made posi-
bic the success of the Revolutionary
War and that it was the Kentucky
women of today that made possible
this great tobacco victory.

Judge Lindsay.

Judge Lindsay was enthusiastically
received and listened to with great
attention. His subject was "What
the Federal Government has Failed
to Do" He said it was too big for
the occasion; that if he attempted
to cover it he would be talking till
Wednesday night and longer. He
tried to regulate the Federal govern
ment once in his younger days when
he and 100000 Of his Southern neigh
bors had protested against some of
the Federal Government acts. He
found after four years of bloody
war that it did not pay.
But the best advice he could give
the tobacco men was to act for them
selves. The government had attempt
ed to dissolve the Northern Securities
Company; the same men still control
the property. The Standard Oil is
attacked but it goes on serenely and
while Federal officers are filing bills
and taking long dispositions against
the American Tobacco Trust, the far
mers of Kentucky had brought them
to terms.

Pres. Taylor Speaks.

President H. X. Taylor of Ken
lucky Wesleyan College was I'M
sparing in his roasting of Mr.. Gar
.ner and told some good stories on
the latter. His subject was "Rural
Renaissance" and he made an elo-
quent plea for the farmers boys.
The tendency of today is for the boy
to drift to the cities. He finds the
farm incongenial. This must be
changed in Kentucky. The farm
home must be made more attractive,
the school houses must be made
beautiful and the center of a COM
munity life. Better educational con-
ditions must prevail. Then the far
mer boy will remain at home and
be contented and feel that his life
work is there.
President Taylor read the follow
ing short poem:
JOHNNY S ON THE FARM.
The gate is off the hinges
And the fence is tumbling down.
The house is all deserted,
Cause Johnny S gone to town.
The family circle s broken,
And gone is Christmas charm
Around the old time altar,
Cause Johnny s left for town
He thought he'd find fortune
Or drink of pleasures charm,
In giddy whirl of city life,
And so he left the farm.
The old folks sit in sorrow,
And fears of ills alarm,
That thick beset the pathway
OF the boy that's left the farm.
The blame was not all yours, John,
For life had many frown,
With grinding toll and scanty Joy
That made you leave for town
Come back. dear boy. and right the gate
And fence now tumbled down,
Till all the passersby shall see
That Johnny S not in town.
Across the lea lives Mary lane,
Who wears a queenlier crown
OF beauty fair and modest mien,
Than aught you've found in town.
Go press your suit. and claim the prize,
Let parson seal the charm,
And send to friends your cards AT Home"
Is Johnny on the farm.
Build up the school. the church, the roads,
Let culture be the charm
That holds in social converse sweet
Our Johnny on the farm
In coming years, in loves pure wealth
When cherubs nestle free from harm
Around that hearth, we'll all thank God
That Johnny S on the farm.

They were enthusiastically applaud
ed and compelled to respond again.
They also sang later in the evening
The song that made the greatest hit
was as follows:

No friend of ours
Hung three red shirts
Out on the flowers
Now what do you think
This trust man did
He bought goat
To please his kid
The goat one morning just at nine
Ate these red shirts right off the line
He grabbed the goat right by the back
And tied him to a railroad track
Say au-revoir but not goodbye
That old goat was too wise to die
He struggled there with might and
main
Coughed up the shirts and tagged

Mr.. ChaS. |. Stewart.

Mr.. Chas. /. Stewart made a con-
vincing speech on the value of or
ganizatiOn. He was listened to at
tentively and his remarks were cor
daily received and literally applaud
ed. He said in part:
"That organization is essential in
every branch of industry is no longer
a debatable proposition. The one
conspicuous phase of our modern af-
fairs is in the superior development
of organization. The growth of all
institutions that constitute civiiza-
ton has been a constant enlarge
ment of organization.
'In this era of cooperative prog
ress the farmer has been the one in
dividual who has held out most stub
borly against those forces constant
y tending to revomtionize conditions.
We are merely in the infancy of the
industrial organization. Instead of
reversing the wheels of progress and
going back to. the day of small things
and primitive conditions we shall
move forward for the higher develop
ment of organization and for its ad-
justment to the service Of all classes
of the people.
"NO mon can doubt that the one
thing needful to the complete in
dependence of the producers of this
region is that they stand firmly to-
gether. within a smaller scope the
organization of the tobacco growers
is scarcely less essential than the
existence of the Government itself.
The proposition that one man, act
ing alone, is helpless, while forty
thousand, standing together, are pow
erful, seems so simple that even
child can grasp it."

SEALS OF ANCIENT RINGS.

Busts of Isis or the Pharaohs.

Among the rings found In ancient

slightly anterior to the Deluge.
This, however, is debatable ground

rather than the solid earth OF fact.
But we feel the latter beneath our
feet when viewing the massive gold
Egyptian signet rings with revolving

rings bearing a bust OF Isis or OF one
OF the Pharaohs In full relief. The
former represent the primitive seals
