former Republicans supported the

TOBACCO RUINED
BY HEAVY RAINS
Green River Crop Cut About One
Half--Plants In Lowiands
Under Water.

owensboro, KY, July 1S.-Thors-
ands Of acres of tobacco in the Green
River district have been ruined as
result of the heavy rains OF the
past few days. The storm of early
this morning was one Of the hardest
that ever visited this section Of The
State. and, besides the damage to
crops. railroads were destroyed BY
lightning, telephone and telegraph line
put out Of commission and fences
and barns blown down. There was
loss of life.
Henry S. Berry, president of, the
Green River Tobacco Growers As
ISOLATION, says that he has been
in communication with officials in
Mclean, Hancock, Muhienberg and
Ohio counties to-day. and has re-
ceived reports on the extent OF the
damage to the tobacco. He says that
he estimates that from 40 to SO per
cent. of the growing crop has been
ruined. II will be several days be-
fore the extent of the damage TO
corn can be ascertained. In many
sections Of the district the tobacco
plants in the lowlands are under
several feet of water. During the
month Of July more than seven inch
es OF water has fallen.

After all the fuss and feathers
made over the tariff revision It trans
pires IT is only reduced two percent
below the rate OF the Dingley Law.
This IS for the benefit OF the pro-
teetionists who are dissatisfied be-
cause Of the reduction. On the other
hand the present bill is a reduction
from the Wilson bill passed by the
Democrats some years ago. This we
presume may be calculated to satis-
fy the Democrats who are clamoring
for greater reductions.

An All-Wise Providence.

1t would be useless 10 say that the
continued rain and over flowing water
has caused a gloom for the present
and coming year. Time may be some
harder than usual and all will feel
the effect more or less, but there is
wise hand in a mysterious Provi-
dence that We cannot see and II is
hard to believe that 1t is working
for the good of all. We should know
that when the hand of Providence
takes away that it is meant for our
good. So let us not complain of our
losses but be thankful and have cour-
age and trust an all-wise Providence,
remembering that 20 every submissive
and thankful heart there is a way
through every trial.

Since the last election fcr member
Of the Court Of Appeals in this APP
palate District tie legislature has
gerrymandered II by removing the
counties Of Cumberland and Mullen
burg and adding the county Of Hen
derson, making a district Of sixteen
counties instead Of seventeen as be-
fore. By removing Cumberland and
Muhlenburg and the addition OF Hen
derson about one thousand Republican
majority was taken out Of the district
and one thousand Democratic MAORI
~ added thereto. II the district had
remained as il formally existed, when
Judge Settle made the race, it would
now be safely Republican. This man
ner Of tampering with the districts
which form the basis for our highest
tribunal OF justice should be stopped
in some way. Who can say that the
judiciary is non-partisan when a faith
full Democratic legislature can be de-
pended upon to see to it that the dis
triets are so jUggled every two years
ae TO maintain a court made up OF
six Democrats and one Republican,
when the two parties in the state
are almost evenly divided?

Reports from all over the county
indicate that the Republican county
ticket grows stronger with the people
day By day. i IS thought that those
Eho have served one term are en-
titled 10 retention on account Of the
good record made heretofore, and
those who have been nominated the
first time are men Of known ability
and high qualifications. It is no IN
common thing 10 hear men Of other
parties announce that they will sup
port the Republican nominees for
county offices, at the November cleo
ton.

Just now We know that many of
our readers have cause to feel blue
over the prospects for the coming
year. because OF the unprecedented
floods which have destroyed so much
valuable growing corn, tobacco etc.
However, these calamities always seem
worse than they really are and it is
best. If possible even in the midst
OF distress 10 maintain a cheerful
attitude and make the best Of the
situation. An over production, es-
pecially in tobacco would have been
one of the results in this section Of
the State had not the floods de-
stroyed quite a large percentage OF
IL, and this would have aided the to-
bacco trust in it's effort to crush out
the organization. So the seeming
ills of to-day may turn out to be a
blessing on the morrow. While many
Of our fellow citizens have suffered
great losses and feel doubtless as
though beyond repair, yet we think
We know the grit with which they are
30 well equipped and feel sure that
there will be a swimming struggle all
along the line TO repair the losses
and make the most of the future.
