Sale of Pooled Tobacco Off.

Press dispatches from Lexing-
ton report that the deal which has
been pending for some weeks be-
tween the Burley Tobacco Society
and some New York parties for
the sale of the 1909 pooled crop
of Burley, has been declared off.
It is stated that an agreement
has been reached and the contract
drawn for the sale of the entire
1909 crop Of pooled tabacco at
$500 per hundred. After the
Committee had returned to Lex
ington and the parties were about
to sign the contract, the repres-
entative of the New York parties
received a telegram directing him
not to sign the contract.
No explanation of the back
down is given. 1t is limited, how
aver, that the prospective pur-
chaser was a syndicate Of indie
pendent buyers and that the
American Tobacco Company got
wind of the deal and Immediate
ly got busy and bought of the
prospective buyer or otherwise
blocked the deal.

Blind For SO Years.

After suffering from total blind
ness for nearly Sc years Miss
Annie Hubbard was recently re-
stored to sight by an operation
at the Royal Kent Opthalmic hos
pital in London. She declares
she is having an interesting time
comparing the pictures conceived
by the mind and the shapes as
they are revealed by the natural
eye. She became blind in 1873
when only three months of age.
Miss Hubbard says that at
first she was dazed and giddy.
She had always imagined hui
man forms and faces to be much
smaller a n darker in color
than they really are, and con-
sequently she felt frightened at
all the large people she saw with
The Adair County news. [volume] (Columbia, Ky.) 1897-1987, 1909-12-22

their great pale faces and hands.
She was especially frightened at
the first sight of a horse which
seemed to her tremendously large
and clumsy, and not, less at the
appearance Of a street car.
In the country she was much
more at ease; trees and hedges
seemed natural to her. There is
a pathetic touch in her statement
that every morning when she
wakes up she decides what she
shall see for the first time. y
What puzzles her most is to
understand what people mean by
the word ugly. A particularly
ugly bull dog was brought to her
but Miss Hubbard could not find
him repulsive. On the contrary,
the dog impressed her as being
quiet strong and gentle.

That Composition Again.

There is trouble between the
proprietor of the Daily Trumpet,
published in Slowbury, and one
of the prominent citizens of the
town.
The citizen is Orlando Vance
Jones, who writes occasional
verses for the Poets Corner. I"
The trouble arose soon after
the birth of Mr.. Jones' grandson.
Being much gratifed by the re-
semblance to him which many of
the diplomatic mothers in Slow
burg detected in the features of
Orlando Vance third, Mr.. Jones
composed a tender poem, which
he entitled "a Pigmy Counter
part.
When he opened the paper, of
which he had ordered a dozen
copies, he saw at the head of the
column his poem under the title,
"A Pig My Counterpart"

Sugar Fraud Trial.

The first attempt in the courts
to block the trial of the men in
dicted in the wholesale sugar
frauds in the custom house in
New York city has failed. Six
of the first seven men indicted
were arraigned for trail this
week and the court overruled
motion to quash the indictment.
Counsel for the defendants in
making the motion, declared
that the Statements in the
newspapers were calculated to
inf1ame the public mind"
Judge Martin, however, failed
to see the thing in this light and
ordered the trial to proceed. 1t
is expected that the case will run
two weeks and for this reason a
great many prospective jurors
made excuses for not serving.
But the court refused to sanction
the majority of these. Briefly
the facts on which the prosecu-
ton rests its case ar follows:
Two years ago, on Nov. 20.
1907, Richard Parr, then a
special agent of the customs SER
vice, raided the Williamsburg
sugar docks, and reported the
discovery of fraudulent attach
ments to the scales used in weigh
ing sugar imports. 1t was as
one outcome of this raid that
James F. Bendernagle, former
manager at the company's Will
liamsburg plant, and Oliver Spit
ger, former dock superintendent,
and three checkers and weigh
ers employed on the docks at the
time were indicted and brought
to trial this week.

Above And Below Proof.

Before the means of determin-
ing the true quantity Of alcohol
in spirits were known dealers
employed a very rude method to
form a notion of the strength"
A given quantity of the spirit
was poured upon gunpowder in
a dish and set on fire. If the
gunpowder continued dry enough
it took fire and exploded, but if
it had been dampened by thewa
ter in the spirits the flame Of the
alcohol went out without setting
the powder on fire. This was
called the proof" Spirits
which kindled gunpowder were
said to be above proof, T" those
that did not set fire were said to
be below proof" but this did
not fix the strength. Clark in
his hpdrometer, which was in
vented about the year 1870, fixed
the strength of pr oof spirits on
the stem, at the specific gravity
of .920. at the temperature of 60
degrees. This is the strength at
which proof spirit is fixed by oct
Of parliament, and at this
strength it is no more than a
mixture of forty-nine pounds of
pure alcohol with fifty-one pound
of pure water. London Stand

Saved Long For Divorce.

Hopes deferred for Ia years
were realized for Mrs. Mary
Taylor when she was given a d.
vorce from Joseph w. Taylor, in
Judge Booths court in St. Paul,
MINI. The hearing lasted about
as many minutes as Mrs. Taylor
had labored years to get together
the money necessary to obtain
freedom.
Her testimony was a prosaic
recital of the "cruel and inhu-
treatment" which she declared
she suffered from her husband
prior to Oct. 7, 1895, the date on
which her complaint was filed.
Since then, she told the Court.
she has not lived with Taylor,
but has worked for her living all
the IA years endeavoring to ac-
cummulate sufficient funds to OBJ
tain a hearing Of her sorrows in
the court SO as to obtain a release
from the marital ties.

Master of Wit.

In a biography of Edward Mac
Dowell by Lawrence Gilman, the
writer quotes some of the fam
Gus musicians witticisms. On
one occasions he had been told of
a performance of his compost
ton, ITO a Wild Rose" played
by a high-school girl on a high
school piano at a high-school
graduation festivity. WELL"
Mcdowell remarked, II sup
pose she pulled it up by the roots!
Some one sent him about this
time relates Mr.. Humiston, a
program of an organ recital at
which this same wild Rose,
was to be played.
HE was not pleased with the
idea, thinking doubtless of a
style of performance which plays
Schumann's 'Traumerel' on the
great organ diapasons. He re-
marked simply that it reminded
him of a hippopotamus wearing
a clover leaf in his mouth"
A member of one of his classes
at Columbia, finding more unoc-
cupied space on the page of his
book, after finishing the exercise
filled up the vacancy with rests.
When his book was returned the
page was covered with correc-
tons all except these bars of
rests, which were inclossd in a
red line and marked:
''This is the only correct pas
sage in the exercise. Youths

Too many farmers know little
or nothing in regard to the rela-
tive profits from the Individual
cows in their herds. Yet to make
the dairy farm what it should be
this is absolutely necessary. If
they will seriously consider the
subject they will soon conclude
that The pleasure Of milking and
feeding cow twice each day
and stherwise caring for her is
not sufficient compensation for
the labor.

Contrasts Of North and South.

In the south they lynch the
man who has committed crime in
an orderly manner and then the
lynchers dispense in a quiet way;
in the north they often lynch the
wrong man first and then kill a
number of innocent person in
their effort to find the right man.
The lynching fever seems to be
moving>northward, a thing to be
deplored, since the virulence OF
the germ becomes greater as it
proceeds toward cooler chimes.

Skim milk and the PIGS.

Where diaries or butter fac
tories are, or where the mich
COW is a factor for other pur-
poses than the sale of milk as
such, the pig is a most useful
and profitable adjunct. Upon the
skim milk, judiciously used with
other and more substantial foods,
he thrives, grows and fattens,
utilizing a -by-product of tremen-
dous volume which without the
pig would represent little of
available value. It is said that
the skim milk from the butter
factories of New York alone
amounts to nearly a billion
pounds in a single year. The
use of this skim milk does much
to give relief from monotony so
common in the hogs feeding, be-
sides adding to the returns from
the other or main foods with
which it is given, and every hog
raiser is glad to have it. From

says: "The horse is recovering
his popularity and prestige for
pleasure use, if an observer will
note that on the boulevards and
parkways of Chicago there are
more elegant turnouts drawn by
horses than a year ago, and more
of the leisure class are to be seen
in the parks on horseback. The
demand for gated saddlers is
much more urgent than a year
ago, and well hammered saddle
horses are moving at $500 to
$1,OOO."

Bad roads are an extravaganza
that no farming community can
afford. Just what they cost in
unnecessary expense it takes but
a moment to determine. A team
and driver are reasonably worth
So day, and by the use of these
it is possible to deliver to mar
ket from your home 100 bushels
of corn. Hauling over good
roads, the cost of delivery is 3
cents per bushel. But if, in con-
sequence of bad roads, but so
bushels can be delivered, the cost
is doubled and the difference is
what the impossible roads cost
you. Continue this calculation,
applying it to the hauling of all
your crops, and it quickly be-
comes apparent that it amounts
to a very burdensome tax. Good
roads help in everyway; they pro-
mote sociability by making
friends and relatives accessible,
and by means of them it is easier
to reach the schools and churches
and to generally do and enjoy
the things which make life really
worth living. Exchange.
