TOBACCO LOSSES IN
KENTUCKY ARE FEARED.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Fire under
writer's are watching the present sitna-
ton in the tobacco districts of Ken
lucky uneasily. Owing to the low mar
ket price of tobacco. which resulted
from w crops being put OF the mar
ket at once after the failure of the
''poolers" to sell the 1909 crop as a
whole, there has beer a movement hav-
ing In view cutting out" the 1911 crop.
This has been vigorously objected to
by a large part of the growing inter-
ests, and it Is probable that some diff
Guilty will be experienced in reaching
an amicable settlement of affairs.
While 1t is not asserted that serious
trouble will follow the attempt to raise
tobacco in the event of the no-crop edict
being sustained by the majority, It Is
certain the situation Will require care

tremely painful. 1t is like the
pulling Of a tooth-the end, reach
ed almost simultaneously with the
beginning.
But the days and nights of
waiting are equivalent, perhaps, to
many deaths, whereas the law has
exacted but one death.
THE theory that the law Furnishes
is an obsolescent one, and will be
quite abandoned when higher con-
dition Of kindness and intelligence
prevails. The law may have 9
right to say that a man may moi
live; but it requires wholly sin
lister kind of logic to show that the
law or any other earthly power has
right to make any human being
suffer. Suffering may sometimes BIZ
inevitable, but that should be be
cause it cannot be eliminated.
The man who is imprisoned
should be given the best possible
opportunity to work out his mora
salvation. The man who must b
put to death conceding that tn
thing is ever right or necessary
should be killed mercifully.

EAST APPROVES
OF The Plan

The st. Louis Times, in an edi-

all, may be on the right track in
it's methods of administering the
death penalty. In commenting upon
the subject, it says:
Nevada has struck new note
in the symphony pathetique' of
human ills by evolving men who
have been condemned to death.
"The plan suggested in Nevada is
that men who face the gallows be
given the privilege of dying in some
other fashion. 1t rs planned to give
to men in such predicaments dead
" poison, and insure them an OPP
portunity to take it. If, after a
stated time, the prisoner has not
shuffed the mortal coil by the aid
of the drug placed in his possession
the moose may then be adjusted.

feet vertically, but some ten feet
or so more, following the ore on
its dip. In this, the vein has
varied from a few inches to two
feet or more, and no difficulty is
experienced in distinguishing the
particles of yellow metal in the
rock before you.
Two assays of note were made
from samples taken across the ledge
during the week and no effort made
to obtain particularly high grade
samples; one gave a return of 1854,
the other swelling this amount two
dollars. 1t does not require very
much of this sort of stuff to make
one feel that he is on the high
way to a fortune.
Sinking has not been commenced
owing to the difficulty experienced
in getting fuel, which is a serious
problem, as the property is equipped
with a steam plant and requires
about three cords for daily con
sumption when sinking. Two con
tracts have been let for wood anC

The good work continues at the
Thanksgiving, and there is, appar-

of this wonderful property.
The drift north from the shaft
on the 425-foot level is showing
a decided improvement and gives
promise of equaling, if not surpass-
ing, other portions of the mine, in
both productiveness and in values.
Within the past few days the for
nation has become less broken and
much more regular in its course,
while the vein is assuming larger
proportions.
Work was started during the
week, says the Manhattan Mail, on

its appearance in these workings
A former management undertook
this work during its regime, but
was unfortunate in going the wrong
way. their work taking them away
