Their argument Is that they have
bankruptcd the city treasury and that
the property owners have therefore
no alternative but 10 furnish the adj
ditiona money they arc demanding
But the conclusion does not follow
Granted that the treasury is empty,
that certain improvements would be
beneficial. that additional adueducks
are desirable, etc. Yet all this does
not prove that the citizens are bound

NOTES.
Our esteemed contemporary the
Herald. Is one of those misled by this
kind OF argument II shows how the
money derived from the former bond
issue has been in large part unwisely
expended. but II says there Is now no
help for that. It argues that the City
must either vote the bonds or sub
init to a confscatory tax levy by the
council il says:
In truth II seems almost unneces-
sary TO discuss any phase Of the ques-
ton except the two alternatives Of
tered TO those who prefer a high
tax levy. TO those who prefer a high
tax rate the problem Is simple and
they should vote against the bonds
Those who believe It the part of wis

twenty years the cost of public i'm
uroyements viii vote for the bonds.
'And that is about all there is 10
the bond question"
No that is not "all there Is to the
bond question:" there is something
else; and that is simply whether we
can entrust another vast sum of our
money TO the tender care Of those par
ticular officials
For the present, it is the duty OF
civic righteousness. common prudence.
and good sense to vote against the is

NOVEL ORGANIZATION.
New York Tribune

Chicago has a novel organization In
the Bartenders and Saloon Keepers To-
tai Abstinence Society, which is no"
said to have 1000 members. Many sa-
loon keepers in the Windy CITY, II Is
reported. are bound by an agreement
not to employ men who drink. While
New York grog sellers have no such
society and no such agreement so far
as the public has ever heard, all the

'The obligations already incurred
by the city must be met either by

tax rate, which the people are ul-pre-

argument in favor of the bond issue.

There are two distinct propositions
before the people. one asks for si'o,-

propositions should he voted down.
The couucilmen who pay the greater
part Of the taxes tell the citizens that
'nelther this proposed bond issue nor

These councilmen further say;

Donates Church Site To the
Methodist COngrega-
ton.
AN UNEXPECTED OFFER.
Part Of the Warehouse Lot
Made Vacant By Night
Riders.

Mr.. John G. Latham, who has
been Hopkinsville's greatest bene-
factor in many ways, has put the
Methodist church, the largest in
point of membership in the city, I'M
der obligations to him for the ten
der of building site for the erec-
ton of a house of worship. Rev.
Geo. H. Means recently applied to
Mr.. Latham for an option on his va
cant lot, corner Ninth and Campbell
streets, as the Methodist church has
outgrown its present quarters on
Ninth and Clay and is on the look
out for another lot. Mr.. Latham
whe1. apprised of the purpose for
which the lot was wanted told DR..
Means that he would donate to the
church as much of the lot as is need
ed for the new building. The
church committee was to meet last
night to formulate plans and decide
how much ground would be needed.
The lot covers nearly a whole square
and is the one formerly occupied by
the Latham warehouse dynamited
and burned by raiders Dec. 7th, be-
cause it was being used once week
as loose tobacco salesroom. The
property previous to the raid was
worth $25, 900 and the vacant lot is
probably worth half as much. 1t
fronts on three streets and is only
separated from the L. & N. railroad
by one vacant lot, also in the burned
district.
Mr.. Latham's numerous donations
and great generosity to the churches
and public enterprises of the city
have been so frequent that the pub
lie has become accustomed to them.
This one, to a church with which he
is in no way connected, is one of the
most valuable of all. Only a year
or two ago he donated a parish
house to the Episcopal church, of
which his mother and sister were
members.

THE DEMAND
WAS LIVELY
Common Grades of Tobacco
Sold and Good Prices
Realized.
RECEIPTS, $50 HHDs.
One Thousand Hogsheads
Will be Sold by Local
Salesman in May.

The salesman for the association
disposed of 154 hogsheads of tobacco
last week, nearly all Of the weed
sold being Jugs and common to med
ium leaf. Lugs ranged in price
from 81 to $40 and leaf from $40 to
$13. While there was a falling of
in sales over the week before, the de-
mand was lively and this weeks
sales will probably be much heavier.
About 300 hogsheads of association
tobacco have been sold here in this
month and it is quite likely that the
figures will reach the thousand
mark before the end of the month.
No very fine leaf has been offered
as yet.
Receipts for last week were 23e
hogsheads, making total of 5,81S
hogsheads for the season. Although
there were no very large purchases
during the last week, all the buyers
were on the floor, and carefully in.
Gpected the various types.
The Society of Equity business Of
last week was notso heavy as that
Of the week before, but receipts and
sales this week are expected to be
much better. Nearly all of the 1907
crop OF tobacco has been delivered
and the most of the prizers have fin
ished their work. .

Ditch Caved In.
