ELECTRIC LIGHT REDUCTION.
The Paris Gas & Electric Co.
Have Reduced the Price of
Electric Current, the New
Schedule of Prices to Take
Effect September 1, 1911

In order to induce prompt payment
of bills and greater output of current,
the Paris Gas & Electric Co has adopted
a new schedule. whereby every con-
sumner is given five per cent. discount,
and sliding scale gives larger con-
sumers lower price according to the
amount of current consumed.
On the first Is kilo Watts the dis
count is five per cent; on the second Is
Il. w. the discount is one cent per
K. W.; on the second so K. w. the dis
count is cents per K. W.; on the Sec
ond 100 K. w. the discount is cents
per K. W.; on the third 100 K. w. the
discount is cents per K. W.; on the
fourth 100 K. w. the discount is 5 cents
per K. W., and on the fifth 100 K. w.
the discount is cents per K. w.
A similar schedule has been adopted
for power, based on ten cents per K. w.
These discounts are for prompt paw
ment at the company's office and under
no circumstances will the discount be
allowed after last discount day. If the
bill is not paid by the 18th the service
will be discontinued. While the pres
ent business of the Company does not
warrant this reduction, the Company
hopes to please the public, put all con-
sumers on the same basis and inciden-
tally to increase the output.
The same high class service will con-
tinue to be maintained.
Any further information will be cheer
fully given at the Company's office.

Form Pool to Handle Crop.

The Burley Tobacco Society an
nounced Tuesday that a pool will be
formed to handls the 1911 crop. con-
sisting of about 60,OOO,O 900 bounds.
This is the first intimation that a cam
palgn for pool will be conducted. as.
the board of control of the society an
nounced last March that there would
be no 1911 pool, as a majority of the
growers had protested against such
action.
Thousands of farmers did not grow
any tobacco this year fearing a re-
sumption of night riding outraees if a
pool was to be formed. Officials of
Inc society now declare that big land
owners favor a ten year pooling con-
tract and as the present crop is about
ready to be cut, campaign to carry
out the project successfully will be
launched at once.
They also say that the proposition to
build 81, 100000 warehouse in Lex
lngton to handle pooled products on a
mutual basis has given great stimulus
to the effort to pool the 1911 crop.

Standard Prepares for Dissolu.
ton.

Regarding the dissolution of the
company under the mandate of the
Supreme Court has been announced by
the Standard Oil Company. that only
the stock of the thirty-three com
panies affected by the courts decision,
will be distributed to the stockholders.
He said that the large surplus that
has stood to the credit of the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey, will not
have to be divided among these com
panies. because the surplus had never
been collected by the parent company.
Only that amount which has been paid
out by Standard Oil in dividends has
been drawn from the subsidiary COM
panies according to this authority, and
the profits above this amount were left
with the companies, so each at the
present time has its proper share of
the surplus.
Accountants of the Stand ard Oil
Company are working out the terms
for the distribution of stock of the
separate companies and the task is
difficult one.
Books close August 81 and after
that date they will beign figuring out
just what each stockholders share in
the thirty-three companies will be.
distribution of stock and fractions IS
expected to take place about the first
of December

Wait for Rewards.

Acting Gov. w. H. Cox thinks that
officials of many of the mountain
counties have fallen into the habit of
waiting for reward to be offered be-
fore making an arrest and he con-
dennis the practice. Governor Cox be-
lieves that where a crime has been
committed it is the duty of the officers
to make the arrest without waiting
for a reward to be ,offered. This was
called forth by an application from
the officers of Bell county for a re-
ward of $500 for the arrest of Calvin
Miracle, who killed Matthew Jones
and Dulcie Gibson last Sunday. The
letter asking for the reward said that
this was cruel murder and the man
cannot be arrested for less than $500
as he is desperate and it is worth
mans life to attempt to make the
arrest. The letter indicates, says Gov.
Cox that the officers of Bell county are
willing to risk their lives for $500 but
will not do so without cash consider
alton.
Gov. Cox does not think the officers
should have a money consideration for
doing their duty and he did not offer
the reward requested. The county has
offered reward of 5000 and they
wanted the State to add $500. In
many of the mountain counties where
crime is committed, similar requests
for rewards are made in a short time
after the offense and it is said to be
common practice for the officers to
wait until reward is offered before |
attempting to make an arrets.
