promise to remain good because
there is no extraordinary effort TO
overplant any crop but Tobacco.
Tobacco is not the only crop that
will pay. is that true?
If so, then let us cut down our
contemplated tobacco acreage and
pay more attention to other crops.
wish also to sound word of
warning in regard to tie growing
of the one sucker type OF tobacco.
In 1908 the demand for tobacco wps
such that there WIS little objection
for one sucker by the buyers. But
If we have only moderate sized
crop, one sucker is bound to sell for
less money than the broad leaf Green
river. In the first place in stemming
one-sucker, it loses so per cent, as
the stem is very large. Then the
uses 10 which one-sucker are adopted
are limited on account of the course
fiber or ribs. There are some sec
tons. namely. the upper Cwmber-
land district, that grow it TO per-
lection. The soil Of tee Green River
district is not adopted to its growth,
and the other districts will produce
all that the market requires.
The people OF the Green River dis
trict will make serious mistake II
they plant one-sucker. Our soil
produces a superior Green river and
we have demand for our type of
tobacco, and it would be foolish for
our people OF produce tobacco the
trade does not want and that will not
sell for as much as Green river. Oc-
occupying the position that / do and
wishing to serve the people OF tee
Green River district in the best pos
sible way. l deem 1t my duty to adj
dress this letter TO you. Very truly
yours, HENRY 3. Bnfohf'

FIVE YEARS in
The PENITENTIARY
For James H. Parrish The
0wensboro Bank
Wrecker.

The jury in the Parrish case at
Hawesville, after being cut al might
returned a verdict of guilty yesterday
morning, fixing punishment at five
years in the penitentiaTy. 1t Is
not thought that there are any rever-
sable errors and thnt the verdict will
stick.
TIE instructions of the court to
the Jury which embraces the law of
the case will no doubt, be read with
interest by bankers throughout the
country, as the definition of a SOL
vent bank presents an interesting
question. The Instructors are as fol-
lows:
First, that II they believe from the
evidence beyond reasonable doubt
that the defendant James H. Parrish
did, in Daviess county previous to the
finding of the indictment, wilfully, in
tentionally and feloniously assent to
the receiving of a deposit of the
firm of II. p. Martin and sons
of $3.50, or property to that value for
deposit in said Owensboro Saviugs
Bank and Trust company and that
said sum was so deposited, and that
the defendant at the time, he essent-
ed to said bank receiving said deposit
If ne did 50 consent, was president
of said bank and that said bank was
insolvent at the time of said deposit
and that said defendant had knowl-
edged that said bank was insolvent, N
1t was so insolvent tlen and in that
event. the jury should find the defend
ant guilty as charged in the indict-
ment and fix his punishment in the
penitentiary at not leess than one, an
not more than 10 years in their dis
erection.
Second, IL you believe that the de-
post was received by an employee Of
the bank who was engaged in receiv-
ing deposits for and in benalf OF said
bank, in the regular course of the
banks business, with the knowledge
and under the general authority of
defendant then defendant assented' TO
such receiving Of the deposit WITHIN
the naming of the foregoing iustruc-
tions.
Three-A bank is 'fnsolvent"
within the meaning of these in
structions when its property and as
sets are of such character and value
that 1t cannot meet its demands In
the ordinary course of its business.
Fourth-The demands of bank
within the meaning Of the foregoing
instructions. are all sums WONG by
it to other banks, firms corporations
or persons, whether for money bor-
rowed or for money deposited
with it either ON time certificates of
deposit or ON free deposit subject
TO check; but tie, amount owing by
the bank to It's stockholders, as such,
for it's capital stock, and surplus. If
any, SHOULD not be considered ns a
debt against the bank within the
of the foregoing instruc-
tions.
Fifth the jury are further instructed
that the defendant is presumed to be
innocent and this presumptiono { his
innocence etitles him TO an acquittal
at their hands unless his guilt has
been proved from the evidence beyon
a reasonable doubt.

S. J. Shields offered the following
resolution:
Graham Local, No. 1916: We, the
committee on resolutions, beg to sub
NIT the following:
Whereas, Great loss has been sus-
tanned throughout the State by our
present method of marketing our rail-
road cross-ties, and where as the
tie companies claim that the presents
dizziness in the tie business is the
result Of an over supply of ties,
Therefore we recommend and urge
the State Union to organize a depart
ment to be known as the timber de-
partment of the A. s. of e. and we
further recommend that the price
for ties at present shall be fixed at
80 cents for soft timber, 40 cents for
red oak, and so cents for white oak
and species.
And we further recommend that the
Locals pool their timber, and make
nor sell any more new ties until We
obtain the prices stipulated in the
above resolution.
