Mississippi Silver Service.

Washington, March 23.-It is believed by prominent officers of the navy that no official objection would be made if the silver service to be presented to the battleship Mississippi by the people of the state for which 1t was named should bear the likeness or the name of Jefferson Davis, who was President of the Con- federacy. This question, however. will not be decided until 1t is actually before the department. Up to this time the department has not received any official information concerning the matter.

WRITES LETTER TO WIFE

Albertville. March 3.-(Special. "A. L. Tate, who has been local manager for the Southern Bell Telephone company since January l, has disappeared very mys- teriously, carrying with him a snug sum of the eompany's money. The first news of his leaving permanently came Satur- day afternoon, In letter to his wife. In the letter he told her that when she re- ceived that letter he would be well on his way to South America, that he was sorry to have caused her so much trouble, but he had used money that he could not re- place and had to leave.
 The affair has created a sensation here, and much sympathy Is extended to hls young wife, who as Miss Maggie Allbrt- ten was one of Albertvilles most popular young women.
 Several merchants in town have also lost money by Tates departure, as prior to his leaving he made several purchases, giving in payment for them checks which
 since have proven worthless.
 Officials of the company are working on the case, and, it Is said, there Is no doubt but what he will soon be brought to justice.

Nine Newspapers Will Distribute More
Than Sixty Prizes Among the Pop.
ular People Of West Kentucky.
CONTEST STARTS TODAY AND WILL CLOSE TWELVE
WEEKS HENCE. AUGUST A.
Ten Districts With Lot Of Prizes for Each...
Read the Details OF the Game Below.

1t Is with feelings of the deepest
qualification that the Evening Sun
today announces the Inauguration of
the greatest popularity voting contest
ever attempted In western Kentucky
and perhaps within the boundaries OF
the Blue Grass state. While other
papers In all sections of the state
have been Offering premiums" and
trips abroad (some of them as far
away as Mammoth Cave) for the pur-
pose of increasing circulation, The
Sun has been content and has con-
siStently stuck to the policy of giving
its readers the very best possible
value for their money, until il could
do something that 1t felt would be in
keeping with It's reputation for doing
big things on big scale, and some
thing that would, in a measure, COM
pensate its friends and readers for
their loyal support.
The Evening Sun Is going TO give
away within the next twelve weeks.
over $1,000 worth of valuable. dcsir-
able and useful prizes in a search for
the most popular people in about a
dozen counties OF this section OF the
state. Sounds big. doesn't &c? But
that is exactly what this paper is
going to do. And this is all because
the Sun is determined to increase its
present circulation, which Is already
larger than that Of any other Ken
lucky newspaper published west Of
Louisville.
Over $1,000 worth OF prizes will
be given away in McCraclren county
alone. These prizes, of course. are
exclusive of the grand prizes. Really,
there are so many prizes and they
are distributed with so much profu-
sion. and lavishness tnat It is rather
hard to judge just where to begin to
describe them.
But, at any rate, here Is what The
Sun has done: IL has divided some
west Kentucky counties into districts.
For instance there is Ballard, Car
Isle. Hickman, Fulton, Graves. Mar
shall, Livingston. Galloway and Cald-
well counties. Carlisle and Hickman
counties constitute one district, but
all the other counties are separate
and distinct districts in themselves.
Into each district FIVE magnificent
prizes will go. The prizes have been
purchased. all arrangements made
and they must go there.
Five Prizes Absolutely Must Go Into
Each District.
McCracken has been divided into
two districts and these two carry over
$1,000 worth OF prizes. District
No. is composed OF all that terri
tory north of Broadway beginning at
the Ohio river. extending TO the
Blandyille road and on the Blandville
road to the county line. District
No 2 is composed OF all that teri
tory south of that line and within
McCracken county.

VAULT In OFFICE
AT COUNTY COURT
NOT VERY SECURE

Fearing that the vault in the coun-
ty judges Office ct the county court
house will not be safe to deposit
money over night, Sheriff John W.
OgIlvie Will try and have the order
to remove his Office to the court house
Irescinded. The order was passed at
the last session of fiscal court and
was done as step of economy, as
there Is a suite OF rooms vacant at
the court house. At present the
county pays the rent of the sheriff s
Office, and the members of the court
we're seeking to avoid this extra ex-
pense by removing the Office to the
court house until next January
The offices have been vacant since
County Judge Lightfoot left the court
house. and probably will remain 80
until January. when the new county
Judge will take Office. County Attor-
ney Alben Barkley. VINO has the
Democratic nomination for county
judge, has said that ne will use the
Office IL he Is elected. Sheriff ogilvie
considers IL a bad move 70 change
the Office for such a short time.
In speaking of the order Sheriff
OgIlyie said: "The vault in the Office
is constructed of brick without a
steel lining. and it would be easy for
a thief to break into II. Sometimes
during the rush of collecting taxes |
have several thousand dollars that
have been collected after banking
hours. stored in my vault for the
might. At present the Office is located
IN the business district. has full police
protection. and is located next 10 q
Telephone exchange. and any possible
tampering with the vault would be
heard by the telephone operators and
the alarm could be given.
."Besldes being of weak construc-
ton, the Office at the court house Is
located remote from residences and
a burglar could work on the vault
without any danger OF being discoy-
cred unless he wrecked the vault
with dynamite. and then he might
mufIle the explosion and get away
before the general alarm could be
given. have talked with the county
officials and some of the members OF
the fiscal court, and believe that the
order will be rescinded and the Office
will be left where IL is.
IAN additional disadvantage would
be that the county would be at an
expense to at up the Office and next
month the collection OF county and
state taxes begins. We VIII he too busy
to move. and to change the Office
would cause inconvenience to a large
lumber of tax payers who have
rPrned where the sheriff's Office is"
