The members have contended for
what they believed to be right with cour-

struggles have been OF intense interest
and of great Importance, not only to the
members themselves. but to the entire

The Tomato Industry.

A Northern Kentucky paper makes
the suggestion that the people of that
section could grow millions Of bushels
Of tomatoes if they were to turn their
attention to the industry and asks,
"Why Not Raise More Tomatoes And
Less Tobacco
The growing Of tomatoes is vastly
lighter work than the cultivation of
tobacco, but it scarcely seems worth
while to suggest to the average Ken
lucky farmer that he should raise less
tobacco. The tomato industry is one
that deserves more attention in Ken
lucky than it is now receiving. Our
soil and climate are adapted to the grow
ing Of tomatoes to perfection. The
tomato requires comparatively little
cultivation and under favorable condi-
tions is an immensely profitable crop.
In regions where there are good facili-
ties'for transportation, or where there
are canning factories in easy reach,
tomato growing may be carried on ad-
vantageously. In places that are not
favorably situated in this respect, of
course. the industry can scarcely be ex-
pected to attain any great proportions.
To make such an industry successful
to the highest degree it is necessary that
there should be cooperation among
growers in order that large shipments
may be made and that the cost of pack
ing and transportation may be reduced |
to minimum. The canning business
in Kentucky, unfortunately, is not as
extensive as it should be and, as a rule,
ventures Of this kind in the smaller
cities and towns have not been success
full. This is due in some instances to
unwise management and in many other
instances to inability to interest the
farmers in the growing Of tomatoes and
other cannery products. The Kentucky
farmer is ''sot in his ways" and feels
powerfully dependent on his tobacco
crop.@Courier-J Journal.

RefreShes Memory of Forget
full Witnesses.

Judge L. d. Lewis, OF the Thirty
second Judicial District, went after
petty violators Of the law at Hazard last
week with a sharp stick. When brought
before the grand jury many witnesses
conveniently forgot with whom they
had gambled and from whom they had
bought whisky. Judge Lewis sent al
such 'absent-minds' to jail for day or
two. and this never failed to refresh
their recollection. As result fifty in
dictmsnts have been returned already
for Illicit sale Of liquor and the same
number for gambling, and more are to
come as soon as the Commonwealth
Attorney prepares them.

A Sermon From The Bench.

Only week or two ago Judge Ben
Hill of Atlanta. presiding judge of the
Court of Appeals, said that after five
years on the bench, he could affirm that
three-fourths of the crimes are due to
the use of intOxicantS. He made this
statement in passing judgment in the
case of the young man, VIII Livingston,
who, while attempting to protect his
mother from violence at the hands of
his drunken father, had struck the elder
man a blow that resulted in his death,
and for which the boy had been convict
ed of manslaughter.
In delivering his opinion Judge Hill
gave the following powerful arraign-
ment Of the liquor evil:
''The facts of this case present an
other of the daily occurring instances
showing the monstrous and measureless
evil of Intoxicating liquors. This hydra
headed and remorseless monster, with
ceaseless and tireless energy, wastes the
substance of the poor, manufactures
burdensome taxes for the public, mono
polizes the valuable time of courts, fills
iails, penitentiaries and asylums, ruins
homes, destroys manhood, terrorizes
helpless women and innocent children,
battles the church, and mOcks at law,
and answering its memorable demands
leach new morn new widows mourn,
new orphans cry, new wrongs strike
heaven in the face"
"These are the products Of curse
imposed not by the decree of God, but
self-inficted by the voluntary conduct
of man, its weak and wicked victim.
judges of criminal courts, speaking
from official experience, have grown
weary calling attention to the drink
habit as the principal cause of crime.
and nothing the writer could say would
add TO this manifest truth. But | can
not refrain from saying that after five
years observation of the cases that have
been before this court, three-fourths OF
the crimes are due directly or indirectly
to the excessive use of intOxicants, and
that if the church and the state and pub
lie sentiment could make Georgia sober,
the prisons would be vacant, the chain
gangs empty, and the cities, towns and
country would be filled with prosperous
and happy homes"

Sale OF Eleven Independent En-

Within the past few weeks about
a dozen independent telephone ex-

of the Southwestern that that COM
pany has any connection with any
OF the deals except the one trans
acted in Pine Bluff a few days ago,
whereby the independent concern
was purchased. Those telephone

changes. Representatives of the

CHM, an evangelist who has been
conducting revival meetings over
northeast Texas for more than a
year past, was arrested today at
Gilmer, 80 miles west of here, on
warrant charging him with big
amy in this (Bowie) county. The
warrant was sworn out by II. II.

that CHM married his sister in
Alabama several years ago, after

learned of Glnns presence in this
section and of his second marriage.
He came on at once to investigate
and aseertained that CHM had
about 10 months ago married Miss
Della Williams at Redwater, 10
miles west of here. The warrant

emotional type and very success
full.
He held several revivals here last
summer, at that time claiming to
be a Methodist minister, giving his
name as j. d. Woodland. Later. how
ever, he is said to have assumed the
role of Baptist evangelist under
the name of ]. B. Wood. The sher-
ifF left for Gilmer tonight and is

STATE TREASURY
That Amount In Currency and Sc
curities Was in Arkansas Strong
Box on July mo Money Is
Available.

Little Rock, July 6.-The total
sum of Si38,956.27 in currency in
all funds will be shown to be in the
treasury when the treasurer's re-
port for the quarter ending July
is made. The books were balanced
yesterday. the warrants checked
and will probably be disposed of by
the burning board Today.
However, there will, in reality, be
a greater amount in the treasury
than is shown by the report, Phil
lips and jefferson counties having
settled in full since the books were
balanced. The amount paid in by
Collector Jarman of Phillips count
ty July was $52,99i.8S, that by
Sheriff Brewster of Jefferson coun-
ty $88,326.02. Paid into the general
revenue fund from Phillips county
was 81, 496, and by Jefferson county
SiS,524.50, but on account of the
number of warrants outstanding
against the general revenue fund,
at IL o'clock Yesterday morning
that fund was empty again. Still,
tile amounts received since the
books were balanc ID by the treas
urer will bring the total balance on
hand up to approximately $250,000.
$2,f03, 1902 in Treasury.
The report will show also a bal
ance of Si,250,500 in 3 per cent
funding bonds to the credit Of the
common schools and university, and
3 per cent funding bond coupons
amounting to $7i2,7S5; and 81 ,390.f5
in county script, bringing sum to-
tai in currency and securities re-
naming in the treasury July 1 up to
So, f03640.i2.
Warrants redeemed up to June 30
amount to $i99,35299, the greatest
item being the mileage and per
diem of the general assembly. The
Legislative act of the earlier days
of the session transferring 100000
from the sinking to the general rev.
enue fund 10 assist in meeting the
expenses of the General Assembly
accounts for the fact that but $1,000
remains in the sinking fund. War
rants in the following amounts
have been redeemed on the various
funds during the quarter: $780, 800
on the general revenue, $9,6f8.2i on
the state capitol, Si,3l5.i0 on the
pension, Si6,964.75 on the peniten-
tiary.
Warrants amounting TO thous-
ands of dollars are still due on the
general revenue fund, which, not
withstanding the amounts con-
stantly being paid into it by col
lectors, must remain empty the
greater part of the time till the last
warrant due the legislators and
debts incurred from their conting-
ent expenses shall have been set
tied in full, and the state officers
shall have received payment in full
to date. Little is outstanding
against other funds, however.
