To Clasp Hands Under Time
Honored Motto on Seal.

The likeness Of the great Com.
moner, Henry Clay. is not to dis
place the picture Of the late Gov.
William Goebel upon the official
checks of the State of Kentucky, af-
ter all. Gov. Wilson yesterday no
titled State Superintendent of print
ing ]. w. Hedden to rescind the or
der for the picture of Clay. He
said that he had decided to adorn
the checks with an engraving of the
great seal of Kentucky.
The Governor has designed new
figures for the seal. which he be-
lieves will carry out to better ex-
tent the intent of the two figures
grasping hands, under the motto,
United, We Stand; Divided; We
Fall" The Governor says that the
seal was adopted in the days of the
Wings and old Democrats; now the
Wing party is no more, so he be-
lieves that seal with a more mod
ern application would prove more
suitable. Accordingly he has made
inquiries of leading citizens and stu
dents, and says that the consensus
of opinion was that the late General
John c. Breckenridge could stand as
more typical Democrat, than any
one thought of. Ofcourse Abraham
native of Kentucky, was
chosen as the Republican. The new
seals will bear the two male figures
hands under the time hon
Ored motto, and one of the men will
have the features of General Breck-
while the other will be that
If President Lincoln.
The Governor believes that such
plan will meet the entire approval of
Ill the people of the Commonwealth.

3O5,OOO POUNDS
Of 1906 Crop of Tobacco Sold
by Equity Society.

Lexington, KY, Jan. 15.-The
Burley District Tobacco branch of
the Society of Equity has made it's
first sale since the tobacco pool was
formed in 1906. Three hundred and
five thousand pounds of the 1906
crop were sold to Love& Burlington,
of Covington. The sale was made
at the prices which had been set by
the Society of Equity for these
grades, as high as thirty cents being
paid for some of it, although most
of it was sold at eighteen cents a
pound. The sale was made on the
samples stored at the society's sam
pie warehouse in Winchester, though
the tobacco itself is stored IN ware
houses in the different counties of
the Burley tobacco district, much of
it being in this county. The Society
of Equity people here are jubilant
over the sale, although it is a small
one. as they believe that other sales
Of larger quantities will soon follow
The tobacco is to be delivered in
hogsheads as soon as it can be made
ready.
Love & Burlington, the purchasers,
intend to manufacture their purch-
ase into plug.
CAN SECURE INSURANCE Now.
Another cause for jubilation
among the Society of Equity people
was the receipt of letters by the
agents of nearly all the large insur-
ance companies, directing that the
taking of insurance on tobacco be
resumed at the same rates as pre-.
vailed before the night rider scare
in Kentucky. Prof. J.. D. Clark,
secretary of the Fayette county
Society of Equity, stated that the
resumption of insurance on tobacco
meant great deal to the society, as
one of the strongest reasons for the
tardiness in financing the 1907 crop
had been the difficulty in getting in.
