A Nature Story.

Every winter A. M. Howell, of
this city, receives a barrel of live
oysters from his cousin, Frank Shull,
of Philadelphia. They are plucked
fresh from their ocean nests and
smell of the salt sea waves. They
whisper of the dark unfathomed
caves of the briny deep, but make
no audible complaint. They do not
try to fly out of the barrel or run
away from their fate. They are the
most submissive, unresisting beasts
extant. These oysters will live, un-
der proper conditions, for several
days and perhaps weeks. Mr.. How
ell spreads them out on his cellar
floor, puts gunnysack over them
saturated with salt water and feeds
them meal the same as he does chick
ems, and they can be heard smacking
their chops and licking their hard,
bony lips with their molluscous
tongues after each ed.-Hillsboro,

A Son of Scotland.

One member of the Legislature
has pedigree that reaches clear
back to Scotland in a straight line.
This is DR.. M. G. Watson, of Lousia.
He comes from one of the oldest of
Scotland families which came to
Kentucky some hundred years ago
and has the Bible which his great
great-grand- father brought with
him from the old country. DR.. Wat
son is square-jawed and a fighter,
and he is a high-grade man. greatly
interested in his country and the de-
velopement of Eastern Kentucky.
He will be one of the rich men of
Kentucky in few years, but the
possession of money does not mean
much to him; it is getting it and the
competition that appeals to him
most. Everybody in the mountains
knows DR.. Watson and he is popular
generally, but is the kind Of a man,
who, if he makes an enemy, makes
a good many; there is no halfway

NoTDEPRESSING PRICES
Calls Attention to the Fact
that Other Crops Can
BE Grown.

New York, Jan. 2S.-Relative to
the recent disturbances in Kentucky
the American Tobacco Company has
issued statement. 1t is in part as
follows:
"The affairs of the American To-
bacco Company, the Imperial Tobac-
co Company and the American Snuff
Company have been under govern
ment inspection for more than two
years.
'"The department of commerce
and labor has had access to all the
books and papers of these companies.
Employees and officers of these COM
panies have been before grand juries
and examined. The fullest possible
examination has been made by all
these agencies into all the private
and public letters, books and other
papers of these companies, and if
there had existed any combination of
buying this would have been dis
closed. No interest in anyway con-
nected or allied with the American
Tobacco Company is in common with
any other buying interests.
1T is untrue that there is any
contest between the tobacco grow
ers or tobacco dealers in Kentucky
and the so-called tobacco trust.
Where disorder has occurred the So
called tobacco trust is the smallest
factor in the purchase of tobacco.
Where the so-called tobacco trust is
the largest purchaser Of tobacco
there has been no disorder and law
lessness.
"The prices now being paid for
leaf tobacco in Kentucky and else
where are higher than ten years ago,
and the trend has been upward since
the so-called tobacco trust was or
ganized.
"The land on which tobacco is grown
can be used to grow other crops.
Burley tobacco is grown in the fa-
nous bluegrass lands. The Virginia
eaf is grown on land well adapted |
to growing of cotton. 1t is incon-
that the so-called tobacco
rust, even if it had a monopoly in
The purchase of tobacco, which it
has not, not being the purchaser di-
,ectly or indirectly of half of the to-
oacco produced in the United States,
would attempt to depress the price
IF leaf and thus drive the farmers
to these other crops"
