BIG VERDICT WON
IN PADUCAH COURT
By Former KentuckyPOIiCe Judge
Against Two Alleged
Night Riders.

Paducah, Ky, Nov. 24.-Aftel
two hours deliberation the jury in
the $4,000 damage suit of c. w
Rucker of Metropolis, ILL.,, formerly
Police Judge in Eddyville, Ky.
against DR.. David Amos, A. l.. Mitch
ell and Wallie Bennett, alleged
night riders, returned a verdict in
the United States Court this after
noon for $4,000 damages against
Amos and Bennett and dismissed
the suit as to Mitchell. Originally
there were $50 defendants, but
Judge Evans dismissed, on peremp-
tory instructions, all but the trio
named.
On the night ofFebruary IS, 1908,
Judge Rucker was whipped by al
legged night riders, and he claimed
his health was injured permanently.
Neither Amos nor Bennett was pres
ent at the trial. Mrs. Laura Toom
ey, daughter of Judge Rucker, has
similar suit pending against the
same defendants.
The two suits of A. H. Carlin
against William Neal, another al
legged night rider, and L. M. Woods
against DIR. Amos and other alleged
night riders for $4,000 damages
each, were dismissed for lack of
proof. The $4,000 suit of Maggie
Scruggs against DR.. E. Champion
and other alleged night riders was
continued.

WHY TOBACCO is
CHEAP IN MEXICO
No Internal Revenue on
Domestic Weed.
HOME PRODUCTION GOES FREE
How American and Mexican
Tobacco Meet in Every.
day Competition.
A STREET CHANGES PRICES

1.-THE cheapness of tobacco in Mex
ico," said the man who had oecn
there, lis almost the first thing upOr
which the visitors remarks. lie
cannot understand how it is possible
to get an excellent cigar for five
cents Mex which is two and a half
cents in our money, but when he de-
cides to try one at that price he
finds that it is every bit as good as
the average ten cents straight smoke
in New York.
THE explanation lies in the fact
that the Mexican Government does
not collect internal revenue on do
nestle tobacco. Production is free
as far as any tax is concerned, and
the leaf grows so abundantly that
prices on the manufactured article
are kept down to an inconsiderable
figure.
1.-THE cigarette is, of course, the
faveYite form IN which the Mexican.
uses tobacco. The very best brands
cost only ten cents American for a
box of ten, while an excellent cigar
cite can be obtained at five cents.
The boxes are gorgeous affairs, US
ually bearing a picture in glazing
colors of the bull ring or some stage
favorite The forid Latin taste in
such things tends even to the paper
in which the cigarettes are rolled.
1t is seldom white or plain brown,
but is OF marble pattern in gray,
brown or lavender.
"The poems smoke a very cheap
brand, which retails at five cents
Mex for two packs, containing ten
each. These are very crude. In the
first place, the tobacco that goes to
make them is not put through any
curing process. 1t is sun-dred and
is offered to the consumer in the
form of brittle and somewhat flavor
less sections of leaf. The cigarettes
are rolled in course paper, which is
not even gummed down, a twist at
each end being sufficient to keep the
tobacco together.
"In order to protect the domestic
product the Government places an
altogether prohibitive duty on
foreign tobacco. A five-cent bag of
an American smoking mixture costs
the equivalent of fifteen cents in
Mexico. The duty is four cents an
ounce, as evidenced by revenue
stamp that has to be affixed to each
package. Foreign cigars run so
high that no one thinks of using
them.
America of course retaliates, and
recall an amusing illustration of
the difference in prices that custom
house can impose. At Nogales,
border town, there is an interna-
tional street, one side of which is in
Arizona and the other in Sonora. !
On the Mexican side there is a to-
bacco store, where one can obtain an
excellent brand of cigars at five cents
apiece. Immediately opposite is an
American store, which displays a
few boxes of the identical cigar at
fifteen cents. 1t is to attract atten-
ton, as no one would dream of buy
ing his Mexican smokes in Arizona, |
but the fact remains that in order
to make a profit the American deal
er has to charge fifteen cents for an
article that can be obtained at one
third the price not twenty yards
away"
