LOTS OF CORN.

Crop statistics gathered by c. r
Erwin, Of the advertising agency of
Lord & Thomas, show the agricul-
tural districts OF America, with few
exceptions, to be in record breaking
condition of prosperity.
In the west and northwest. the
central states, part of the southwest
and great deal of the east, crops
were never so great. In the south
with the possible exception of Mis-
sissippi, the loss In acreage of the
cotton crop will probably be more
than made up by the increased
value OF the baled product, and the
whole south has safeguarded itself
by diversified farming and other
crops. which this year have come
handsomely to the rescue-notably
in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.
In other years of great agricultu-
raj production crops have sometimes
been stored, but this year the condi-
tion seems TO be that the farmer
with the product can get his money
for IT as quickly as he desires to
market the crop, ard at big prices
Some reporters state that grain is
being taken right from the thrasher
by the buyers at top notch prices.
Nothing but especially unusual and
entirely unforeseen weather condi-
tons could change the corn crop
from its apparent yield.
Kentucky tobacco has fine pros
poets for a great yield. Winter
wheat in Kentucky and Tennessee
will have a much larger yield than
early conditions indicated and the es-
innate Is for 10000 900 bushels in
each state. The corn yield in Ken.
lucky will be about 10000, 900
bushels and in Tennessee about
100 900. 900. The south will pro-
duce more corn this year than ever
before
The consensus of opinion seems to
be that the total cotton crop will be
about - 600 900 bales with a value
of probably sG25. 900. 900. Most of
the districts are producing lighter
than last year. but the crop authori-
ties agree that Georgia will have a
record breaking cotton crop.

Az INsrRuMENT on PEACE.

AN INSTRUMENT OF PEACE.
The Chicago Examiner sees in the
airship the greatest hope for peace.
It says:
1.-THE French aviation commission
wired Bleriot on his landing at Do
yer: 'Hosanna for the peace OF the
world
'It is undoubtedly true, as sug-
gested by this message, that the new
and elusive cavalry of the clouds will
make the nation more reluctant to
fight.
Thus every improvement in the
methods of destruction tends TO
smooth the wrlnkled front of war.
"The deeper truth that lies back
of this Is that the perfection of war
tools requires the highest kind OF in
dustrial organization. That kind OF
organization is possible only to a
people devoted to art and science
and such a people will appreciate
peace. and insist upon having it.
Meanwhile the sudden develop
ment of the airship does, indeed. in
dictate the line of mechanical refine
ment along which this peace-making
tendency is destined to run.
"Zeppelin's flight of thirty-slx
hours. covering $50 miles is full of
strategic suggestions. Such a fight
will carry an airship from German
soil to either London. Paris, Stock
holm or Vienna-and back.
Germany has already three war
ships of the air. She has nearly
completed a plant with docks" for
the construction and assembling of
air ships-and two more such plants
are projected.
when she gets these prepare
tions made Germany expects to build
airships of considerable tonnage, and
to turn them out, fifty or sixty a
year, at an expense of, say. a quar-
ter of million each.
ut Is said that a feet OF five hun
bred such chips could be maintained
for about fifteen million dollars a
year.
"At this rate our own army and
navy budget would keep in commits
sion about 1000 aerial men of war.
Each of these ships-equipped
with machine guns. dynamite and
torpedoes--could wipe out a regi-
ment OF intrenched infantry. as a
line of insects could be wiped out
with a hose throwing carbolic acid
''The Germans have already tried
the machine guns from the decks OF
their ships.
at may be that we are entering
swiftly upon an era in which the
military methods of today will be as
useless as Pompey's galleys on the
war engines of Archimedes.
Fighting tools have been super
seded from time to time in the past
and thrown away.
And, as the medieval armors and
jab-irons-once formidable enough
were made merely humorous by
the fire Of guns and the wit of Ger
vantes, so our little men with
Mauser. our believing batteries, our
frowning fortress, wide open to the
sky, may turn out TO be no more
permanent than the Macedonian
phalanx or the Persian chariot OF
scythes.
"And. what is still more to the
point, the startlingi fact should here
be recorded that the suppression of
our present fighting tools stands
chance of accomplishment within
ten years"

SUITS AGAINST THE HERALD.
Denny +. Smith sues the Paper and
Its Former Editor for 100000
Damages.

Cadiz, Ky. Aug. 25.--The Hon.
Denny p. Smith, COMMONWEALTH at
torney of this judicial district. yes
terday afternoon filed suit in the
Trigg circuit court against the Her
alc Publishing company and George
A. Newman. Jr., of Louisville. for
$4,000 damages for alleged malici-
GUS SANDER. The cause of this dam
age suit was an editorial. which APP
peared In the Louisville Herald OF
its issue of August 30. 1908, in
which they stated that Judge Thorn
as p. Cook. the circuit Judge, and
Mr.. Smith we're the two men who
are chiefly responsible for the recent
burlesque trial of night riders, in
which they manifested an apparent
Indifference to all responsibility and
permitted material witnesses to
escape the Jurisdiction of the court
without any proper attempt to Sc
cure their attendance. Judge Cook
and Attorney Smith have forfeited
all claims upon the confidence of the
good people of their district. They
have brought their Offices into disre-
pute, and called down upon them
selves the condemnation of the gov
ernor." Again the article says:
These men ought to be taught that
there remains in this state some SEN
timent of honor, some regard for
authority, some spirit of indignation
at those who basely betray her in-
situations and cast discredit upon
her laws" In conclusion the article
said: LET II be generally known
that no man charged with the execu-
tion of the law, who is unfaithful to
his trust, need hope for the support
of the people when he seeks return
to office, and there will be less OF
such disgusting farces as that which
Cook and Smith were responsible for
at Eddyvllle."
Mr.. Smith was renominated for
attorney in this dis
trict last June without opposition,
while Judge Cook was only defeated 4,
by 1877 votes for circuit judge by the
Hon. Jack Hanbery.
Since the publication OF the above
editorial the Herald has changed
hands.

II Is a proud boast that Paducah Is
on the map in only two places. How
ever the little Texas nameseke Is not
large enough to interfere with the
original Paducah. as II is known over
the entire world and especially by
the postoffice employees. II is an ev-
cry day occurrence at the postoffice
for letters to reach their destination
safely and quickly despite the fact
that in the address Paducah
without the state being mentioned
While the name Is rare II is also
true that no other place on the globe
has its name misspelled so often
Phonetic spelling Is employed In
many instances and some curious com
binations of letters of the alphabet
are made TO spell Paducah. How
ever. majority OF the letters reach
their destination without any serious
delay. Some of the clerks say when
ever an address is written so that the
clerks cannot pronounce or read II
that the letter is sent to the Padu-
cab postoffice.
Quite a remarkable thing happened
several weeks ago when letter
mailed from Bremen. Germany, was
received by a Paducah firm. The let
ter had the address of the firm, which
has not a world wide reputation. and
was addressed simply 'Paducah. ;"
without any other mark to determine
that the message was intended to be
delivered in Kentucky in the United
States. The letter reached Paducah
almost as soon as If it had been prop
erly addressed.
