of water to well beside the cabin of

Cincinnati, GAINESVILLE and other
cities, passed the House Tuesday by
sc to 81. The sober sense Of the
General Assembly, if it has any on
the tobacco question, will doubtless
assert itself in the Senate. If not,
Gov. Wilson will probably use his
veto power to good advantage. How
any business can be benefited by
making its market more remote is
difficult for any sensible person to
understand. We are glad to note
that Representative John Feland
was found on the right side of the
question and spoke and voted against
the bill.

a person who could not talk intelll-

Records kept at the Mammoth Cave

being advertised in various ways the
number of visitors was many times

financial stream would keep on run

part for advertising. They have been
disappointed, of course.
AS soon as the advertising was aban-

about the cave, and finally it figured
no longer as one of the great show

there is a let-up in business the man
who advertlses his wares more than

BABN AND TOBACCO
Burned BY a Mob of Masked
Men Near Elkton. Ma
RAIDERS Fire Shots.

Elkton, KY, March 3.-Last night
about IL o'clock about twenty-five
men visited a farmer, C. C.
Shemwell. who lives eight miles
north of this city and about two
miles from Sharon Grove. They cut
the telephone connection between
here and Sharon Grove. G. C.
Shemwell was not a member of the
Planters Protective Association and
had three wagons loaded with tobac-
co, about 1000 pounds, and was 60
ing to deliver same at Hopkinsville.
They set fire to the barn, and Shem-
wells son put his head out of the
house and was fired on, several
small shot striking him in the face
with slight injury. The barn, 1000
pounds of tobacco, three wagons
and farming implements were des-
troyed, causing a loss of $1,000,

The Famous cIaridae's.

The name of Claridge's is well known
to every visitor to London. The ia
nous hotel in which princes and mil
lionaires are, so to speak, "three a
penny" is about to celebrate it's CEN
tenary. When it was opened, early in
1903, it was known as Mivarts, after
the name of it's founder, M. Mivart, a
celebrated chef Of the period. Mivart
has one great claim to fame which no
visitor to London should deny. He
was the first hotel proprietor to pro-
vide his patrons with bathroom, a
fact which he advertised extensively.
In 1850 Mlvart sold the business to Mr..
and Mrs. Clarldge, butler and house
keeper in ducal family. 1t is now
run by company.-Argonaut.

Liqht From Darkness.

admitted the man who thinks he
knows about all the tricks there are to
be known. Il was making a call on a
friend whose apartment is fitted with
gas mantle lights. The light in the re-
ception room was poor because the
mantle had turned black. But my
friends wife knew the secret Of turn
ing it back to its original color and I
stood amazed to see her throw salt
into the chimney all over the mantle.
The salt caused the fame to blaze up
all around the mantle, and gradually
the char disappeared, and the light
was as bright and clear as when the
mantle was new. That's thing worth
knowing. New York Globe.

Drunkenness in Scotland appears to
be on the increase, according to the
judicial statistics for 1906, just issued.
In some instances the drunkenness
reached absolutely appalling degrees.
IN the little town Of Blairgowrie, in
Perthshire, with a population Of well
under 5000. the proportion of cases of
drunkenness reached 1,042 per 10000
of the population, or one case for every
ten men, women and children of the
