Tobacco Trust Is Whipped.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 20 The big
deal between the American Tobacco
company and the Burley society for
the 1906 and part OF the 1907 crop
of tobacco, which has been hang
ing fire for several weeks, was clos
ed here late yesterday.
The price agreed on in the trans
action, which was said to be the
largest of its kind ever put through,
is an average Or 20 IL cents for
the 1906 crop and II cents per
pound for the 1907 product.
The deal involves nearly 10000
600 pounds of tobacco held in the
pool by the Burley Tobacco society,
and an outlay of something like
$14,O00,000 on the part of the
American Tobacco company, or
Trust, practically all of this money
being placed in circulation at once
in Central Kentucky.
There is great rejoicing in Ken
lucky today among the night riders
and those who sympathize with
them. 1t is considered a decided
victory for the night riders.

In The Red.

Some of the Monroe Democrats
were laughing at Walter S. Dickey,
Thursday. He had written them
stating that the Republican State
Committee was in the Red" and
asked them to donate so the party
could pay its campaign expense.
Well, it was the 3 per cent of the
Republican vote that elected Folk
and it was the sore" Democrats
that elected Hadley, but Mr. Dickey
will have a happy time getting
Democratic contributions at this
stage of the game to liquidate Re-
publican campaign expenses.

Merchant Don't Read.

We will bet the day is not far
distant when fool Loyal Home
Pride" will be pushed aside, not by
the Country Press, but rudely by
the Country Merchant. The Coun-
try Merchant that does not adver-
tise in his home paper regularly
has neither the moral nor business
right to demand the country editor
to shut out outside advertising
while he does not advertise. Less
than two weeks since the Demo-
crat turned down $50 worth of adj
vertising from an outside town and
its columns show its home mer-
chants appreciation (niD of it.
Yes the time is nearly here when
the country paper will kick pride
from between it and its dinner.

How times have changed! When
we were young people had colds,
soaked their feet in hot water and
got well. Now the have grip, take
Quinine and feel sick all summer.
Then they had sore throat, wrapped
a piece of fat pork in an old sock,
tied it around the neck at night
and went to work the next morn
ing. Now they have tonsilitis, a
surgical operation and two weeks
in the house. Then they had stom-
ach ache and took castor oil, and
recovered. Now they have append
icitis, a week in the hospital and
six feet due east and west and four
feet perpendicular. Then they work
ed, they labor now. In those days
they wore underclotheS, now they
wear lingerie. They went to a res
taurant, now they 60 to a cafe.
Then they broke a leg; now they
fracture a limb. People went crazy
then; they have brain storm now.
Politicians paid good, hard cash for
support; now they send garden
seeds. Yes times have changed,
and we all change with the times,

An exchange advocates a plan
whereby young ladies attending
church in the evening can register
their names in the church vestibule
so that the young men who are in
the habit of lingering around the
church door can see whether their
best girl is present and thus set a
troubled brain at rest, without both
ering the audience The plan would
undoubtedly be a great convenience.

The Passing of the "Ganesters."

Dallas News.
Whatever one may think of pri-
mary elections, split, unSplit or
otherwise; he must admit that they
have just about left the old-time
gangs" out of their most lucrative
job. Under the law as we have it
in Texas there is left little or no
room for the hired helpers and leg
gers who formerly swarmed about
the polls. They are not permitted
to come near enough to the ballot
box to stuff it or contaminate it in
any way. 1t is said that one of the
scaly fellows, after vainly trying all
his old schemes at a polling place
up in Missouri, cursed a blue
streak" swore the party had gone
to the place of fire and birthstone
and went home disguised. The
election of 1908 is by no means
similar to the lucrative functions
which the bosses and buyers pulled
off 10 years ago. Thousands of pa
triots" eager to save the country
have lost their fat jobs.

Must Quit Liquor.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov, 90 The
Masonic grand lodge of Arkansas
declared that it was unmasonic for
any druggist, who is a member of
the order to procure a government
license to sell whisky.
The declaration will have the
effect of compelling all druggists in
Arkansas, who are Masons, to
abandon selling whisky under gov
eminent license or withdraw from
the lodge.

While Mr.. Hadley rode high on the
rising wave of malty applause, the
Governor sat alone in his private

him between his unctuous hands,

The Huntsville Herald says too
many blackbirds are rooSting in the

have added, also too many yellow
dogs scratching fleas in the old
Democratic KENNEL, and so long as
the yellow dogs rules the Demo

rule the roost in the Democratic

friend, that isn't the trouble with
the "old Democratic kennell." The

scratches for the party, fieas or no

Remedy For Chokina,

"Raising the left arm as high as you
can viii relieve choking much more
rapidly than the act Of humping ones
back" said a physician, '"apd. it is
well that every one should know. it,
for often a person gets choked while
eating where there is no one near to
thump him. Very frequently at meals
and when they are at play children
get choked while eating, and the Gus.
tomary manner Of relieving them is to
slap them sharply on the back. The
effect Of this Is to set the obstruction
free. The same thing can be brought
about by raising the left hand Of the
child as high as possible. and the re-
lief comes much more quickly. In
happenings of this kind there should
be no alarm, for If the child sees that
older persons or parents get excited
the effect is bad. The best thing Is
to tell the child to raise its left arm,
and Immediately the difficulty passes
away."
