DR.. TOrreu's Meetings Closed.

Sunday, Feb. I'd, the Torrey
meetings at Huntington closed, and
from there the distinguished evange-
list will go to Fresno, CAL, to con-
duct series of meetings. There
was some talk of Charleston want
ing to obtain the services of DR..
Torrey, but the capital CITY will not
be able to have the preacher in
their midst this season, at least, as
his time is already filled by previous
engagements.
Huntington only had DIR. Torrey
because the auditorium in Los
Angeles, Cal, was condemned, and
there was no other place in which
the meetings might be held in that
place.
The meetings in Huntington have
been a great success, In spite of a
number of obstacles which have
arisen, and the united ministers and
the churches have done q great
work in getting DR.. Torrey come
To the city.

JUDGE hARGlS KILLED
bu His SOn--Wds Figure in Bio
kentuGku feud.

A message from jackson, Ky,
says that Judge James Hargis
known as one Of the principal
figures in the Breathilt county feuds
OF recent years, was shot and killed
In his store at Jackson, last
Thursday afternoon by his son,
Beach Hargis.
Hargis has for years been one of
the conspicuous figures in the his
tory of the bloodiest of the Ken
tucky feuds. His name, or at least
that of bis family, has been IN, n
toned in not less than half a dozen
of these strange and deadly family
wars that since before TIE rebellion
have stained the pages of Kentucky's
history.
llargis was only directly accused
Of murder but once, and that was
in the case where j. b. Marcum was
assassinated. He was tried, after
some extraordinary legal and per-
soual difficulties were overcome.
but not convicted. But IN the hear
ing of that trial there was brought
out testimony which showed that.
whether guilty 80 or not. the Har.
gls family was mixed up in other
deadly combats.
Hargis was until two or three
years ago wealthy, as wealth is
measured IN the Kentucky mountain
district. He was the principal mer
chsnt OF his town, and was also the
county judge one term. He was the
political dictator on the Democratic
side in notorious and bloody Breath
lit county for years and was a mem
ber of the Democratic State Central
Committee until recently.
Judge Hargis only recently paid
Mrs. j. b. Marcum $4,000, ON &C.
count of damage suit against him
for the death of her husband.

A weak Stomach, means weak Stom-
ach nerves, always. And this is also
true Of the heart and kidneys. It's a
pity that sick ones continue to drug the
stomach or stimulate the heart and
kidneys. The weak nerves, not the
organs themselves, need this help. This
explains why DIR. Shoop's Restorative
has, and is promptly helping so many
sick ones. II goes direct to the cause of
these diseases. Test this vital truth,

GREAT RESULTS
ARE LOOKED FOR
FROM RULING BY INTERSTATE
COMMERCE CONF hssloN
AGAINST LUMBER.
Old Firms Will Extend Thier Busi-
ness on Large Scale--lnflux OF
New Firms Confidently
Expected.

There is every reason to believe,
said one of Cairo's big lumber men
Yesterday, that the ruling OF the In
terstate Commerce Commission in tina
Sondheimer case will result in some
very marked development in the lum'
Der interests of Cairo. The ruling
does away with four cent differential
against Cairo and in favor OF Mem
phis. which operated to attract busi-
ness to the latter place that should
and would have come TO Cairo. The
Sondheimer Company, for instance,
has for many years lad extensive
Yards here and has done very heavy
business from this point, bringing
their lumber here by river and distrib'
uting it by rail to all points north and
east. But the unfair railroad sched-
ule at Memphis forced them, with sew
eral other big firms. to leave Cairo
and make that city their headquarters.
They have been there several years
but have retained their yards here an
have always done mich of their bust
ness from here, feeling sure that con
ditions would change some time To
rt-establish normal trade. They
waited patiently till about a year ago
when they brought the matter to the
attention OF the Commerce Commits
sion with the result that they were
sustained in their contention, as stat
ed in yesterdays Bulletin, and Cairo
will be again upon al equitable com
mercial footing in the heavy lumber
traffic between the timber lands of the
south and the consumers of the north
and east. The Sondheimer Company
had taken steps to establish large
yards at Memphis, in anticipation OF
defeat in their efforts for Cairo, but
this project will now be abandoned,
and their plans for extensive improve
ments in the Cairo yarGs, with greatly
increased business, will be carried
out
Lumber men lock for a general and
very great revival of their business
here. and for an influx of new firms.
and a return OF some OF the old ones
who left for Memphis during the las
several years. There will be a decid

harbor here with a growing need OF
increased facilities for handling II. a

pany will erect a line of railroad
tracks in Paducah and from the city
to the point on the Kentucky side
where railroad bridge will be built
across the Ohio river below Metropo

wants to come to Paducah will get
that privilege provided it agrees to
certain conditions, which any roal
will comply with. In the city tracks
will be built to mills that are not al
ready reached by railroads and new
industries locating there will be built

they have not gone as far as the two
roads mentioned.
The Frisco will also come to Padu.

other roads, use the tracks of the
