SALOON MEN HAVING
HARD TIME At PADUCAH
Must Execute $1,000 Real Estate
Bond That Saloon Will be
Properly Run.

Paducah, KY, Dec. 5.-Practical
prohibition has resulted in Paducah
from the strict enforcement of the
liquor license law by Mayor James
p. Smith, and unless the distillers,
wholesalers and brewers or the gen.
eral council come to the rescue of
the situation, the number of saloons
in Paducah will be reduced nearly
two-thirds by the first of the new
year.
Saloons are required to give bond
of $1,000 to keep the law and the
Mayor has authority to revoke the
license upon presentation OF proof
of violation. A surety company has
been on the bonds Of saloons and
Mayor Smith revoked three licenses
this year, upon which the city solic-
itor brought suit on the bonds and
collected $3.50 on compromise, while
the Court of Appeals sustained the
ordinance and the Mayor. Thereup-
on the bonding company declined
further bonds without good real es-
tate mortgage security to protect it.
1t is reported that thirty-nine saloon
keepers have put up real estate Sc
curity and secured bond for Jan
uary. There are seventy-seven sa-
looms in the city.

If the Democratic nominee for the

whose record justifies the belief that
he favors the election of United
States Senators by popular vote.

suade you to follow any candidate

sent and work for when elected.
Examine his record.
Study his environment.

TRUE TALE OF A COTTON DEAL

When the Southern Confederacy

1t went all to pieces. nothing first, as
as bubbles do when they burst.
Well, when the Confederacy thus
collapsed, it was relying through its
agents on money for cotton stored
abroad. The cotton had run the
blockade back to the South, and it
was received by the agent who had
transmitted 1t more than once be-
fore to the Richmond Government.
At the very last there was no
Richmond Government and no Con-
federacy. The last installment of
money for cotton was received after
the Confederate Government had
ceased to be. II could not be return
ed to a Government that had ceased
to exist and whose officers were fugi-

last installment did not like hand
ing it over to the United States Gov

the agent existed. 1t could, there
fore, make no claim on him.
He just retained the money. There
was no one to return 1t to here.
There was none to whom it belonged

of Interest to Farmers
Discussed.

During the first week in January,
beginning the Sd and lasting through

the State University at Lexington,

tural College. The Swine, Beef Cat
tie, Horse, Dairy Cattle, and Sheep
