Love, amid the other gra-
ces in this world, is like cathe-
dral tower, which begins on the
earth, and at first is surrounded
by the other parts Of the struct-
ure. But at length, rising above
buttressed walls, and arch, and
parapet, and pinnacle, it shoots
spirelike many a foot right into
the air Sc high that the huge
cross on it's summit CLOVIS ike a
spark in the morning light, and
shines ike a star in the e ening
sky, when the rest of the pile is
enveloped in darkness. So love,
here, is surrounded by the other
graces, and divides the honors
with them; but they will have
felt the wrap of night and of
darkness, where it will shine
luminous against the sky OF
eternity. Henry Ward Beecher.

Our sentiments are well eX'
pressed in the following clipped
from the Benton paper.
Fad roads cheaper land; they
make schools a failure; they dis
courage the raising of good
stock; they encourage the use OF
rickety old vehicles; they keep
down local pride, county pride
and individual pride. They en-
courage all that should not be
done and help keep down all that
should be done. Bad roads lead
to poverty in this life, and in the
next world everybody knows
where the bad roads lead. Cen
tlemen of the Fiscal court, we
want better highways. "

TOBACCO TIDINGS.
To Non-Poolers.
BY R. F. " dEELER

In all consciousness of rectitude
of motive and kindness of in
tention, and in the fullest conf.
dence of ny power to instruct,
| venture to night in the utmost
seriousness to, in pleasant terms,
address those Of my farmer
friends who have hitherto refus-
ed to co. operate in the sale of to-
bacco.
Self-confidence, and not self
conceit, prompts me to boldly
claim that in this article | can
and viii inform and instruct.
Fo:, apart from my knowledge,
acquired during years of special
study, l am in possession of new
ly-acquired information CLEANED
from an unexpected quarter cor
roborating the claims, content
ions and arguments made and re-
itated fromtine to time in this
column for over six years.
To go back a few days last
Tuesday l publihed from ''Tobac-
CO." a London tradeiournal head
ed THE Leaf Market. ;"
That article was written by an
Englishman, published in an Eng
fish Journal for the benefit and
edifcation of Englishmen.
Wherefore it is safe to assume
the article referred to is in the
nature OF a confidential commun-
ication from one business part
ner to anothe', and there ore
characterized by the slncerest
veraeity.
And the iGnifcant Importance
of the article to the tobacco
growers of Kentucky arises from
the fact that, in a commercial J
sense, these English partners e
the implacible enemies of the
farmers of Kentucky,
These same English partners,
by shrewd and INSCRIPTIONS
trade maneuvers, have in the
past fifty years, to go no further
back, and more particularly dur
ing the past ten years with the
aid of he mercilous tobacco trust
have, l say, robbed and then
plundered Kentucky tobacco
growers of millions and millions
and millions of dollars.
The present generation of Ken
tuckians, tobaccogrowers and all,
are dwarfed and stunted, men,
tally, morally and physically, be-
cause of the merciless eXactions
of generations Of English bucan-
GERS and pirates preying on to-
bacco commerce.

non-poolers to the article in ques-
ton, which | reproduce for the
especial benefit of non-pooling
farmers.
Let the reader note what the
writer says about the powerful
association in the States.
English manufactures" the
writer says in effect, need not
hope to buy American tobacco
cheaper so long as the associations
hold together" Thereby point
ing out that tobacco will go low

ROAD and SCHOOL
LEGISLATION IN PROSPECT

Continued from last week.
Now about good roads: Good
roads are coming. Just as sure
as a greater civilization is now
dawning, just that sure must the
old tortuors, gully washed wat
er soaked excuses called county
roads give way to modern metal
topped highways. The outlook
for road building by state aid is
not roseate, :cause so many of
the counties f the central sect
ion already have tdrnr'! =, and
they are going 10 be slow to vote

build roads for us. Another
thing in the way Of a state wide
road is that a measure can hard
ly be framed that will not admit
of dozen loopholes for graft and
extravaganza. The people have
been humbugged and faxed so
often that they are on the look
out for a "nigger in every wood
pile" and they will not stand for
their members voting for the bills
proposed so Ear.
So it seems tlat it up to each
county to shi It for itself in the
mater of good roads. Therefore
roadbuilding will necessarily be
slow. The people will be slow to
vote taxes or bonds until they
see what they can get Tor their
money. A great many Missouri
ians pride themselves on being
from Kentucky; but there are at
least two million Kentuckians
who arejvst from Missouri" on

The public spirited gentlemen
who have contributed so gener-
ously to build the section of Mar
ion and Salem road strucx the
keynote FOR good roads in old
Crittenden. This will show"
all the doubling Thomases who
pass that way, and mark it, it
will be the initial step toward
joining the remotest parts of the
county with Unbroken lines OF

If the fiscal court will raid that
new treasury of ours, and dish
out some of those sheckels to
build two rods of pike in each

will serve not onl : as an object

In the light Of past events, Mr..
Editor, do you blame the people

roast pig was really a palatable
food.
We must do some educational
work, some missionary work,

Now Marshall, a man that has

say something that will help the
cause of good roads.

THE LEAF MARKET.

There has been an exceedingly
quiet time experienced on our
markets since last spring. AL
the business that was negotiated
was in most modest quantities.
AS the present is the most
critical time, one can not blame
users for operating with all the
caution possible, they were al
ways timorous and always look
ing ahead in the home of down.
ward movement. Of course when
any thing did occur to lower the
range OF values ruling, present
purchases would look dear, and
there would be much sorrow.
But | am convinced that there is
absolutely no foundation upon
which it is possible to base a hope
for the reduction. Every thing
on the othe. side indicates that
prices at least maintained, even
if an improvement has not been
recorded. We are hoping that
the signatures to the petition to
the chancellor may be successful
in convincing him that the addit-
ional impost for which he is re-
sponsible has had a most DANA
ging effect upon the trade of the
independent manu- factories. Such
a heavy tax must have proved a
serious matter a few years ago
when a leaf was at ordinary prices
but to increase it to such an eX-
tent with leaf at the abnormally
high price it is, must have been
done in absolute Ignorance of ex-
listing conditions.
Surely ii l. were proved TO the
chancellor thai the. e were pow
erful associations in the states
formed for the purpose of con-
trolling the supply of leaf, and
only selling at any price they
cared to ask, he would realize
what very unfavorable conditions
the independent manufacturers
were working under, and as he is
powerless to do anything towards
easing the situation on the other
side, he could adjust the duty
here, which could be made to an
swer just as usual. London To-

COMPANY | NEEDS
STIMULATING DOSE

Unless steps can be taken to gel
company l. of this city back into the
good graces of the adjutant generals
office it is entirely possible that the
near future may see the disbanding
of the local guard company.
For some weeks past it has been
well known in certain circles that the
company made very poor showing
at the last annual inspection. At the
time Captain Ferguson was i'll and
quarantined and Lieutenant Vinier
was unable to be present. Conse-
quently the company was shy of Off
GERS as we'll as men and made a poor
impression upon the inspector.
While in Portland recently Presi-
dent Smythe of the Commercial club
consulted with Adjutant General Fin
ger upon the subject and the general
expressed disappointment over the
situation in Pendleton. However, he
would like to see the company main
tanned and is ready to do anything
possible to assist the command If the
company itself can, but show more
strength.

The Old Man and Jim
The 'oid man. never had much 10
say, excepting to Jim. and Jim was
the widest boy he had. The old man
knew, and SO did everybody in the
town, including the lady's own hus-
band, that Jim loved his neighbor's
wife. But Jim didn't care and the old
man was so completely wrapped up
in HIM that he closed his eyes to the
wildness of the lad. Nine sons and
Jim was the widest of them all Then
came news Of the war that was soon
to break forth between North and
South.
And the inevitable happened. The

while the husband lay stunned and
bleeding upon the floor, the news was
thrown like a bomb upon the excited

but necessary slaughter of brave men
begun ana Jim was the first to
go. Some wagging tongnes suggested
that he had to go to escape the result
of his terrible deed.

back that Jim was the bravest man
in the whole regiment, white or black.
that his fighting was as good as his
farming was bad, and he'd carried
the old Gag through the bloodies,
fight that ever was.
The old man worded a letter to
Jim and Jim read it to the boys. 1t
said. GOOD bye, Jim, take care o.
yourself" Then came the battle Of
Petersburg, Genl Grant commanding.
The boys in grey lay behind their
entrenchment, and literally moved
down the lads in blue. Then the
spark leaped into Jim's soul. for he
dashed with his men right up to the
enemy's cannon. took them, pointed
them the other way, and socked 1t
home to the boys in grey as they hur-
ried for timber, on and on, jim, a

Honor French Soldiers.

Annapolis, Md, April 1S.-Presi-
dent Taft and scores of other promi-
nent men today witnessed the unveil-
ing of a monument to the memory of
the French soldiers and sailors who
lost their lives in the struggle for
American independence. The memor-
ial occupies site on the campus OF
st. Johns college. A number of
Frenchmen who We're killed during
the revolution lie buried in the vicin-
ity and up to comparatively recent
years their graves We're still defined.
President Taft was received upon
his arrival here by officials of the
army and navy, and corps of cadets
We're appointed to act as his body
guard. France was represented by
large delegation of diplomats and
military and naval attaches. The Ma
tional Society of the Sons of the Am
erican Revolution was in charge of
the ceremonies.
The cornerstone of the monument
was laid in 1906, addresses being
made on that occasion by NJ. Jusser-
and, French ambassador to the Unit
ed states, and other officials of the
two nations.
The French soldiers and sailors
whose bodies have lain under the
of st. Johns college are some
of those who under Lafayette and
Rochambeau encamped at Annapolis
and prevented the capture and sack
ing of the city by the British. Most
of the survivors of that engagement
took part in the siege and final cap
tpre of Yorktown.
While here President Taft visited

inspected the brigade of modshipmen.
