1t cost a republican congressional
candidate $40,69S.S3 to secure his
nomination at the recent primary
election in Pennsylvania. 1t is very
doubtful if any man who spends such
sum for such a purpose would be
worth as much to the country as he
spends, should he be elected to con-
gress; in fact, he is more apt to cost
the country something.

SOUL-SAVER PROVES
TO BE HEART-SMASHER

Hopkinsville, KY, Oct. 15.-The
good people of Cerulean, who have
been attending in large numbers a
revival meeting at that place con-
Quoted by Miss Sue Hawkins, of
Louisville, were greatly surprised to-
day on learning that the pretty evan
gelist had eloped to GAINESVILLE,
Tenn, last night with one of her
converts, Garnett Hammonds, a
farmer of the Montgomery neigh
borhood.
Miss Hawkins and Mr.. Ham
monds were married in the Tonnes
see city by a Justice of the Peace
and returned to-day to Trigg coun-
ty. The bride, who is only eighteen
years old, has been holding a series
of revival meetings for several weeks
at Kings Chapel, Cerulean and other
points in Trigg county.
Hammonds had been a constant
attendant. He was often seen talk
ing to the fair evangelist, but the
folks thought it was his soul, not his
heart, in w---cn she was interested.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hammonds will reside
at Montgomery. and the bride will
retire for the present, at least, from
the evangelistic field.

THE SPARK OF LIFE
WAS ALMOST GONE

The greensboro Messenger of Sun
day says:
Life was almost extinct when DR..
Lambert arrived at the side of Mrs.
Annie Bell Taylor, of Taylor Mines,
Ohio county, who was returning to
her home after a visit to Rockport,
Ind. Mrs. Taylor was on board the
Rounds Bros boat, the Inquirer.
Shortly after leaving Rockport the
woman became i'll. The officers of
the boat were notified, but they
could do nothing to alleviate her suf-
ferings. Before greensboro was
reached Mrs. Taylor was in a dying
condition and had tainted. There
was a crowd on the boat and some
thing like a panic prevailed.
Upon DR.. Lambert's arrival at the
wharf a powerful stimulant was CIV
en- to the woman and she was remov-
ed quickly to a hospital, where she
was reported to be resting easy Sat
urday night.
Mrs. Taylor is a widow, about thir-
ty-tve years of age, and had been in
Rockport for a short time. She was
unable to tell very much concerning
herself yesterday on account of heT
condition.

TOBACCO HAS
MADE BIG CROP
But in Some Respects is
Disappointing.
M0RE this YFlR THAN IheT
MORE THIS YEAR THAN LAST
And Result Much Better Than
The Growers Expected,
Counting Drawbacks.
CAREFUL FIGURES EMPLOYED

The Cincinnati Enquirer recently
went into an exhaustive investiga-
ton of the tobacco situation cover
ing every point involved throughout
the country, and the following is
synopsis of it's report, covering es-
pecially the Kentucky output:
This years tobacco crop, big as it
is, is a disappointment. 1t will not
pass the billion-pound mark set for
it in the early spring, when, after
almost 10000 acres more than in
1900 had been set out under most
favorable conditions, the plant start
ed forward in most promising
growth Those 1000 acres with
the promised increased yield from
the total of /, 1871 acres planted
would easily have made a yield to
exceed a billion pounds. But the
crop met with a succession of mis-
fortunes. Cold storms and frosts ov-
ertook it early in its life; later disas-
trous floods swept away whole fields
on bottom lands; then the drouth
touched it as it touched corn, and a
total of 10000 acres are reported
as not having reached the harvest
stage.
According to reports to the En-
quirer the total area for harvest is
1,149,S31 acres, which compares
with 1,13O,537 in 1909. The yield
is estimated at 931 ,O6S,695 pounds,
eomparsd- with 931,544,452 in 1903.
The Government may be expected
to estimate this years crop above
one billion pounds, as the Reporting
Board of the Department of Agricul-
ture put the area planted at 1916
| 900 acres and the condition at about
rs, compared with an average of 80
at this time in 1909, and a ten-years'
average of 80. Calculating on the
Governments reported yield for
1909 of 949,357,OOO. the statistic
the total of 1, 169,771 acres planted,
trouble in figuring out a billion
pounds.
The difference between the En-
quirers estimate and that OF the
Government lies mainly in Kentucky,
where the Government claims a
planted area of 10000 acres, while
reports to the Enquirer from every
county of the State producing tobac-
co in commercial quantities, cover a
planted area of only 3SS,S6O acres,
with only 375,9OS for the harvest.
Many reports from Kentucky are
very dlscouraging as to the yield,
and while there are about 10000
acres more than in 1909 harvest,
the yield is estimated to be 2,OOO,-
900 pounds less. The injury, how
ever, fell most heavily on the dark
district, so that the yield of hurley
in Kentucky will be 197,652,OOO
pounds, compared with 1S2,S65,195
in 1909.

Of Frauds Perpetrated in
Census Taking.
A NUMBER OF WESTERN CITIES
Had Returns Heavily Padded
Second Enumeration
Showed Trouble.
TACOMA WAS PADDED 33,206

Washington, d. c., Oct. 15.-Stag-
gered by the enormous growth
shown by the returns of the new CEN
sus for a number of Western cities,
Director Durand, the ceneus du-
reau, ordered an investigation. the
result of which appeared in an an
nouncement tonight that gross
frauds had been perpetra.ed. Du-
rand gave out also a letter from
President Taft directing that per-
sons implicated in the alleged frauds
should be prosecuted.
The cities specifically mentioned
as being affected by the frauds are:
Tacoma, Seattle and Aberdeen,
Wash; Portland. Ore: Minneapolis.
Mimi. Boise. Ida, and FIT. Smith,
Ark, but it is stated there are many
others.
The result of the second enumera-
tion of Tacoma, Wash, was an
nounced tonight. The city shows a
population of S2,972, an increase of
45,25S, or 100 per cent. over the
population of 1900. The first fig
ures turned in from Tacoma were
116,24S. In other words, the actual
population was padded to an extent
of 1926, which would have meant
the further addition of 40 per cent.

TY. COBB Is THE
CHAMPION HITTER

Chicago, Oct. 15.-Tyrus Cobb, by
the official verdict of President John
son, was declared leading batsman
of the American league during the
last season, winning the percentage
over Larry Lajoie, of Cleveland,
by .O0OS6O.
AS the National Leaguers dropped
out of the batting contest some time
ago, Johnson's announcement means
that Cobb is the champion hitter of
the country.
The automobile goes to the De-
troiter, but the Cleveland player, by
permission of Johnson, will be al
lowed to accept a duplicate.

MESSENGER LOSES A
FINE YOUNG MAN

The Mayfleld Messenger has the
following concerning a young man
who arrived in Hartford Sunday to
take a position in the mechanical de-
partment of The Herald. Young Mr..
Newman takes the place of Mr.. Ru-
fus Lowry, who was with us recently,
but was called to his home at May
field on account of the continued ill
ness of his mother. The Messenger
says:
Mack Newman, one of the young
printers who has been connected
with the Messenger for the past few
years, will leave Sunday for Hart
ford, KY, to accept a position on
The Herald, one of the best newspa-
pers in that section of the country.
Mack is Industrious, studious and at
tentive to business and there is no
chance for him to fail to make
good" and II given half chance he
will soon rise in the profession at a
remarkable gait. He is not only
clever and congenial, but comes from
family that knows nothing but to
do the proper thing at all times. His
father, l.. G. Newman, is a veteran
newspaper man and has also been
with the Messenger for several years.

REFUSED TO BE SNAPPED"
AS HE DRANK MINT JULEP

Here, here, nothing like that"
exclaimed Colonel Roosevelt at the
Country Club Tuesday morning
when, as he was about to drink a
mint julep, he saw a photographer
point a camera toward him.
Raising a reproving hand at the
camera man, the elephant-slayer
walked over to the instrument,
picked it up carefully on its tripod
and turned it around so that it com.
manded an excellent view of the din
ing-room wall.
Then he went back to his chain
and slipped the mellow juice.

For Democratic Candi-
dates For President.
UPON THEIR FATE RESTS MUCH
AIiAre Popular and if Elected
Would be Presidential
Possibilities.
THEY WOULD BE HARD TO BEAT

Three Democrats whose fate as
gubernatorial candidates will be de-
termined next month are very prop
erly the subjects of careful study
by Democrats throughout the coun-
try, for one of the three may be-
come the party's candidate for Pres
ident in 1919. Judson Harmon, of
Ohio; Woodrow Wilson, of New Jer-
sey, and John A. Dix, of New York
these are the men whose prospects
are attracting the attention of DEM
ocrats everywhere.
The size of the majority received
by each OF these men, II elected, may
have much to do with the race in
1912. Two of them are untried and,
so far as national politics IS concern
ed, unknown. Governor Harmon en-
joys the prestige of having been one
of the three Democrats elected to
Governorships in Republican or
doubtful States in 1908, a big Re-
publican year. But this prestige
will go for naught, so far as the
Presidential nomination is concern
ed, unless he again carries Ohio next
month, and by big plurality.
President Woodrow Wilson, al
though untried in public Office, has
an advantage in his wide reputation
as an educator, a participant in pub
lie movements, and a writer on polit-
ical subjects. His conduct in the
New Jersey campaign is generally
praised. He has developed cam
paigning ability of high order. His
speeches are neither academic nor
incendiary, and his personality is at
tractive. He is credited with being
progressive" which does not have
the same meaning when applied to a
Republican.
If President Wilson should carry
New Jersey by a handsome plurality,
his availability for the Presidential
nomination doubtless would be con-
coded by Democrats In every sec
ton. Particularly in the South
would he be acceptable, because OF
his Southern birth and training; and
the South, seeing its opportunity,
might assert its power by forcing his
nomination.
John A. Dix is an unknown guam
tity as yet. A month ago he was
never thought of as a possible nomi-
nee for the Presidency. A month
hence, or a little more, and he MY
loom very large among the Dem
ocracy's younger growth of timber,
That New York would go Democratic
this year was accepted as a foreor-
dained event up to the time of the
Saratoga convention, and the bolt
ing of prominent Republicans since
the convention hardly justifies the
cockshure predictions of Republican
success. Democratic victory in New
York next month would insure care
full consideration of the character
and fitness of the man who heads
the ticket as a possible leader in a
bigger fight.
These are some of the reasons why
the present campaign in New York,
New Jersey and Ohio is watched with
such keen interest by Democrats.
The history of 1912 is being made,
in part, in Washington
Post.
