INCREASE SHOWN IN
KENTUCKY COUNTIES

Frankfort, KY, March Assess
ments of property in all counties in
the State, as compared with the re-
ports made by County Assessors last
year, will show an increase of about
$50,00O,0O0 and the prospects are
that the State Board of Equalization.
which has begun its work. will add
to the. already large increase. The
counties which have reported thus
far show an increase over last year
of 100000, in round numbers,
and great many of the counties
have not made reports. 1t is expect
ed that the counties not heard from
will increase that total.
The State Board will be in session
daily from now until it's work of
equalizing the assessments is COM
Melted. which must be bv June l..
Tentative assessments will be made
first and then the final assessments.
1t is believed that there will be no
big increases by the board this year
as there were last year.

BANK AFFAIRS GETTING
PUT INTO GOOD SHAPE

The attorneys for the Fordsville
Banking Co., Messrs. Heavrin &
Woodward, were questioned by us as
TO the prospect for depositors in that
institution. They each state that the
depositors can safely count on 75c
to the dollar, but that they will have
to wait, as it is impossible to realize
on banks notes and mortgages at
once. These gentlemen are hopeful
that the depositors will be paid in
full, but say that loss of 25 per
cent. to the depositors will be the
limit of loss.

POPULAR VOTE WAS
DEFEATED IN SENATE

Washington, March 3.-The SEN
ate defeated the resolution propos-
ing an amendment to the Constitu-
ton so as to provide that Senators
be elected by direct vote of the peo-
pie. A brave fight had been made
by the supporters of the measure, as
was indicated by the vote. Fifty
four Senators stood for the resolu-
ton and thirty-three against it.
Though this division showed so
large a majority OF the Senate to ia
vor popular elections, the number
was not sufficient by four to carry
the measure, which required a two
thirds vote for it's success.

The Hartford Republican failed to
offer proof and claim reward of good
cigars all around and a present for
the baby, offered by The Herald last
week for a glimpse of a single issue
of its paper wherein it ever failed
to swallow any old nomination
rammed into its mouth by party
bosses. OF course all nominations
of the Republican party are always
ceptable-according to the Hart
ford organ. 1t is the Democratic
party that might make a mistake and
nominate the wrong man-as per
the same sagacious authority. We
want the Republican to show us one
instance where 1t ever bolted one of
the several nauseous dishes offered
it, before we will believe it is sim
cere in it's assumption that it will
ever do so.

SUBSTITUTED TYPE &C" FOR
TYPE "a" IN ENGINE MATTER
Paradise, KY, March 8, 1911.

Paradise, KY, March 3, 1911.
Editors Herald, Dear Sirs:-Mr.
Felix requested me to tell him what
the committee did in regard to the
gasoline traction engine. l forgot
the request until had left town, so
give you this. In the first place we
contracted for 20-horse power
type "A" engine in January last for
1,45O (. o. b. at Chicago. Some
time back, Mr.. Hannett, the agent
for the International Harvester Co.,
at Evansville, Ind, wrote me thaN
they had 20-horse power type "C"
there at Evansville that had been
used some, but was practically a new
engine and he thought it would suit
us better than the one we had
bought, and that he would pay the
expense of the committee If we
would come and look at the engine.
So after consulting Judge Taylor and
some of the Magistrates, Mr.. Walter
Knott, of Centertown, and myself
went to Evansville and saw the en-
CINE. We found it to be much
stouter and as we thought, better
for road work than the one We had
contracted for. We advised the COM
mittee to make the exchange. The
committee on last Thursday morn
ing met Mr.. Tinsley, the agent for
the International Harvester Co. at
Hartford, and made the exchange. So
we will get a 2O-horse power type
&C" instead of 2O-horse power type
"A" and will save one hundred dol
lars or more in freight and on the
price of the engine. The engine that
we will get cost, at Evansville, f. o.

The Senate will be Republican by
