Ladies Have Narrow Escape.

Mrs. Chas. E. Rogers and daughter,
Dorothy, and Mrs. Laura Garth had a
narrow escape from serious injur|
while ont driving Wednesday after
noon. When near the VANDERBILT
Training School, the horse SHE'D sud-
denly at team of oxen, and the bug
gy was overturned, all three of the
occupants being thrown to the
ground, and Mrs. Rogers sustaining
quite painful sprained ankle. Mrs.
Garth and Dorothy Rogers were not
injured. Fortunately the horse did
not run after overturning the We
hicle. which probably accounts for the
fact that the accident did not prove
of a more serious naturalization

Revenue Commissioners Ruling

Representatives of~dealers in leaf

recently appeared before the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue to OBJ
tain from him an official distinction
between a dealer in leaf tobacco and
a retail dealer in leaf tobacco. Many
believed that the section of the Payne
bill would give to the dealer in leaf
tobacco certain privileges enjoyed by
the retail dealer. The commissioner
has decided that n dealer" IS not
authorized to sell to a retail dealer
The law provides that dealers shall
sell only To other dealers and TO man

and TO those who are purchasers of

DISCHARGED
MACEO OPERATOR.
Said to Have Furnished In
formation
Leading to the Indictment Of the
L. H. rnd St. L. Rail-
read Co.

Maceo, Daviess county. is -assum-
ing more and more importance in the
affairs of the world at large. It is
now stated on some apparent author
ity that the general prosperity of Ma
GEO and the lack Of vacant houses
therein was the original cause of the
recent indictment against the l.. II.
and St. l.. railroad for rebatfhg. In
that event residents of Maceo are evC .
with the railroad for trying to force
the name of Powers Station upon
them and leaving them for mnay
months living in either Maceo or
Powers station, as the fancy sug-
gested, and in the unpleasant atti-
tude of not knowing where they were
going even after they had almost got
ten there.
A few months ago a young man was
sent from Louisville to Maceo to take
charge of the ticket office there and
be telegraph operator. This young
man had been in the Louisville offices
of the company and 1t was stated that
he had been assigned to Maceo for a
rest and expected the work to be in
the nature of a vacation. He took UP
his work with enthusiasm, but had
trouble finding quarters for himself
and was utterly unable to locate his
family, either in a vacant house or a
boarding house.
Despairing of better quarters the
railroad was asked to switch off an
unused box car on disconnected
spur of track for. The operator and
his family to live in. For some rea-
son this was not done and the oper-
ator was offended. He is said to have
wired the company that unless a new
man was on the ground by a certain
date the office would be found locked
up. The new man came and the
homesick operator went back TO his
family in Louisville. getting employ
ment with the X. and |. Bridge COM
pany there. Within a few weeks he
lost his position without knowing just
why, it is STAGED.
Taking up the idea that he had
been 'queered" by his former ON
ployers the offended operator had an
interview with some of the officials
and told them that they would suffer
for the mistreatment accorded him.
The threats were considered idle ones
until the federal grand jury got busy
a few days ago and indicted the rail-
road and l.. ]. Irwin, its President
for accepting rebates. 1t is now said
by some employs of the railroad that
the sore operator Is at the bottom of
the informatin which lead to the in
dictments. 1t may all be an attempt
to trace the indictments to spite work,
but their story is nevertheless in
teresting. The truth can not be known
until after the hearings.

ASSOCIATION
Of the A. S. of E. and Coun-
ty Union
To Be Held in Ohio County Early
in January Of Year
1910.

Hartford and Ohio county are to
have two important Equity meetings
in the near future. The Green River
District Tobacco Growers Association
of the A. s. of Il. will meet a.
Hartford, Thursday, January 6, 1910.
This Is the first time within the
history of the association, that It has
been held in Ohio county. The dis
trict is composed of Ohio, Mclean,
Daviess, Hancock, Muhlenburg and
Breckenridge counties and a county
or two in Indiana and meetings of the
Association have heretofore been held
at Owensboro.
There being larger number of
loyal equity people in Ohio county
than in probably all of the other
counties combined, 1t was urged by
representatives from this county at
the last meeting at Greensboro that
the next. regular meeting be held with
us and after considerable effort was
landed for Ohio county.
The regular quarterly meeting of
the Ohio County A. S. of e. will
be held Friday and Saturday, jan
.uary 7, and 8, 1910. The contitution
and bylaws provide that the regu-
lar meetings shall be held the first
Friday and Saturday In January, April,
July and October, and as the first
day of January this year is Saturday
the meeting will fall on the following
Friday and Saturday which will be
the 7th and Sth as before stated.
These meetings are important es-
pecially to tobacco growers as ar
rangements will be begun at that
time for the pooling of the 1910 crop
of tobacco. Pooling pledges for the crop
will be ready for distribution and
circulation among Ohio County Equi-
ty people. Every local in Ohio coun-
ty should send delegates TO this meet
Ing so that the pledges may be sent
out by them and so that they may
be thoroughly acquainted with the
plans for the 1910 campaign for to-
bacco pooling.
The official call for the district
meeting is as follows:
The regular quarterly meeting of
the Green River Tobacco Crowns As
ISOLATION, branch of the A. S. of
