The mimic attack on Galveston

STEMMING ASSOCIATION
BLAMES THE GREEN RIVER
Association for Failure to Co.
Operate in Getting Max
imum Price.

The following article is taken
from the Henderson Journal:
Just a foreword: For several
years the stemming association has
persistently sought to cooperate
with the tobacco associations on the
other side of Green river
in any plan or project designed for
the betterment of tobacco growers.
All our efforts have come to nought
because of the persistent refusal
on the part of the Green River
Tobacco Association to entertain
our propositions looking to Coop
Grafton.
On the other hand, the Home
Warehouse has ever responded to
the advances made by the Stem
ming association in the most fra
ternal way.
Under all the circumstances the
position assumed by the officers of
the Green River association is
difficult to reconcile with a wise
zeal for the cause of farmers
cooperation.
The Stemming association, how
ever, mindful of lis self-respect,
must decline to multiply words on
the subject. and will content itself
by recording this printed message
to the good farmeY-the boys in
the trenches-who are members
of the Green River association,
namely
For the past five years the Stem
ming association has realized from
one dollar to one dollar and half
more per hundred on an average
than has the Green River associa-
ton.
And yet the Stemming associa-
ton has never been able to get a
reasonable price for any crop,
owing to the Vaccinations Of the
tobacco trust.

welcoming progressive ideas and
searching for progressive leaders, it
seemed unwise to return to 1875
Tor a candidate who had the pres
tige of victory.
But Governor McCreary is a man
who makes few enemies; he is a
man whose personal character COM
mands respect, and a party man who
never scratched ticket. In this
last respect We think the Governor
is wrong, but in times of doubt it
makes man available.
1t is said that Governor McCrea-
ry was earnest and emphatic in his
demand for a county unit platform,
and we trust he will be equally en-
phatic for a county unit law.

INAUGURATION PLANS
ARE NOW DISCUSSED
Senator McCreary Will Be Sworn
In As Governor on De-
cember II,

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 11.-Now
that the election is over, the talk
here is of inauguration plans and
the appointments to places under
the new administration. Gov. Nc
Creary will be inaugurated as Gov
ernor on December ~, and 1t is ex-
pected that the largest crowd
Frankfort ever entertained will be
here that day to see the man who
was Governor in 1875 again take
the oath of Office. No definite plans
for the inauguration--th the first in
the new Capitol-have been discuss
ed, but local committees will begin
work in a few days arranging for
the celebration.
Over at the Capitol there is not
the gloom that one would expect to
find when the party in power has
been rejected. Too many of the
Republicans now holding once un-
der the State were not any too fond
of Judge 0'Rear. so that they are
not mourning his defeat. The men
who were on the tiaket with him,
of course, are disappointed. The
State employees say that they are so
effectually buried under the land
slide of votes that they have been
made speechless. .
There is much talk now of prob
able appointments under the new
administration. Charles Morris. law
clerk in the Attorney Generals Of
fee. the only Democrat who remain
ed during the recent Republican adj
ministration, will continue in the
Attorney Generals office, but will
have a much better position. He
will be Second Assistant Attorney
General. There is a tip that Col.
H. Watson Lindsey, Chief of Po-
lice of Louisville, will be Adjutant
General. but that tip does not come
as straight as might be. James
Tandy Ellis, of Lexington, is anoth-
er tip for Adjutant General.
IL Is too soon after, the election
to be predicting who will get va
rious positions, but during the next
few weeks that will be the main
topic of conversation in Frankfort.
The State officers, except Governor,
will go into ONCE on the first day
of January, which is the first Mon
day. The law fixes this as the date
for the State officials to take the
oath, and the present officials
caught the short term, as they went
in on January 6, almost the latest
date that could be. The first Mon
day might be the 7th or the LIST,
and In this instance It is the LIST, so
that the incoming administration
will have the longest terms that the
law Will permit. showing how lucky
the Democrats are this year.

/ Marking, Nov. 1l.-More than
10000 native Chinese, men, wo-
men and children, are dead, and
$4,000 others are homeless as a re-
suit of the wanton slaughte-
throughout this city by the impe-
rialist army. The butchery is still
going on to-day, but in less degree.
ReinfOrcements arrived to-day
and Joined the rebels. and the at
tack upon the imperialst army was
resumed. Aroused into frenzy of
rage against their enemies for the
massacre of defenseless Chinese.
the rebels fought desperately for
vengeance.
The streets of the city of Nan
king to-day ran red with blood, and
hundreds of headless bodies lay
among the smoking ruins of dwell
ings. The property of the Chinese
was first looted, then fired.
Panic reigned among the surviv-
ors of the massacre, and no attempt
was made to bury the headless
dead that filled the streets.
Most pitiful of all were the
corpses of boys and girls. headless,
and naked, lying where they had
fallen when the ruthless swords of
the Manchus cut them down. De-
tachments of Manchu soldiers, with
blood dripping from their swords,
invaded the homes of all residents
of the native quarter looking for
hiding natives. Some were killed
outright and others were first tor
tured before being put to death.
Hundreds of human heads lie like
so MANY cannon balls in the gut
ters. Human hands and feet, cut
off to torture the living, strew the
debris of the burned quarter. At
dawn to-day the gates were locked
and the surviving victims were
closed in the city of horrors along
with their dead. No more were al
lowed to fee.

VICTORIES IN
OTHER STATES
Returns Clearly Indicate
Trend of
NATION TOWARDS DEMOCRACY
FOSS Won in Massachusetts,
But Tammany Lost Grip
in New York.
NEW MEXICO A LITTLE MIXED


There is much comfort for Dem
ocrats in the returns from the cleo
tons held in other States last Tues
day. Wherever national issues
were involved, a Democratic victo-
ry resulted, with the exception of
Maryland. and Democratic leaders
over the country are jubilant.
Republican chances west OF the
Alleghanies are minimized
The fight is to be seated in the
East. with Massachusetts, New oYrk,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ma
ryland classed as exceedingly doubt
full States.
Kentucky is removed from the
doubtful class to the certainly DEM
ocratic class.
Ohio leans more toward the DEM
ocratic party than before.
In a word, every resource of the
two parties from to-day forward
will be cast along the Atlantic
Coast and the five States shown to
be in grave doubt for 1912 and
without whose electoral vote no
candidate can win, will bear the
brunt of the battle.
In Massachusetts the Republicans
made a great effort to hold their
voters in line by putting forward
the Tariff as a prominent issue, and
therefore the reelection of Gov.
Foss over his Republican opponent,
Lieut-Gov rockingham, by ma
jority of about 1000, is regarded
as a death blow to Republican hopes
in that section for the Presidential
election.
In New York City Tammany's
hold weakened and in several races
the Republicans made great gains.
The Democrats will lose control of
the State Legislature, but the losses
are clearly traceable to local infiu-
erces.
In Maryland A. p. German, Dem
ocrat, was defeated for Governor
by p. S. Goldsborough, Republican,
though both branches of the Legis-
lature are almost certain to be con-
trolled by the Democrats.
In the first election held in New
Mexico as a State. the Democrats
elected their State ticket, but the
Republicans are claiming the Leg
islature which will elect two United
States Senators.
In New Jersey the Democrats lost
the Legislature but the cause of
Woodrow Wilson is strengthened.
1t is known that the Democratic
Smith-Nugent machine which Gov
Wilson thrashed so soundly when
he sent James f. Martin to the Sem
ate. assisted in the naming Of sew
eral Republican Assembly candi-
dates and managed to elect them.
In Rhode Island nearly complete
show the reelection of Gov.

Progressing Nicely With
Good Indications.
GOING FOR OIL IN EARNEST
An Enterprise That Means
Much for Hartford and
This Vicinity.
ARE PREPARED FOR BIG WORK


Work is progressing nicely at
the new oil we'll opening, six miles
east of Hartford, and good results
are anticipated. Progress is neces-
sarily slow at the beginning, es-
pecially as they have encountered a
very hard and fiinty quality of lime
stone, but the drill has gone down
about 200 feet and they are prepar-
ed to reach a depth OF 1000 feet If
necessary. -
The last report we had from the
we'll was that they were in fossilif-
erous limestone, showing about the
same indications that the wells in
the southeastern part of the State
present. There is no regulation
Nepth at which oil may be found.
Usually there is found large body
of limestone under which is devel-
oped a stratum of slate. Imme-
diately beneath the slate is found
the producing oil rock out Of which
large quantities of oil are drawn.
There are different grades of oil
and It must be located before the
grade or density is determined. The
density of the oil-producing sub
stance or fluid regulates the price,
running all the way from soc to SO
per barrel. Some single wells pro-
duce as much as a thousand barrels
day. Sometimes the oil flows out
strongly itself.-called a "gusher"--
and sometimes it has to be pumped
out.
When a largely producing oil
we'll is located, pipe lines are laid
over hills and under rivers in
continuous line, through which the
oil is pumped to the big oil centers.
There are several lines now laid
from the oil fields of Illinois and
Indiana which carry the oil in a
continuous stream to New York
City. Large pumping stations are
located along the line, the distance
apart being regulated by the
amount of force necessary to trans
port the oil to given point. each
pumping station being part of the
long stream or line of oil. There is
no set period for the life of an oil
well. There are several in Ken
lucky being worked now which
were discovered and put in opera
ton before the Civil War.
1 The place now being worked by
the West Kentucky Oil Company
near here is on direct line be-
tween the famous oil fields of Can
ada and Beaumont, Texas. Between !
these points oil has been discovered
in immense quantities and there |
seems to be no reason why, from all |
indications, that success should not |
be met with here. It is quite GER
tain that If oil should be discovered !
In largely paying quantities, it will
at once revive Hartford from a con-
sentative, plodding little village in
to a small sized city. 1t will bring |
people and enterprises here in
rush, and capital will seek ready
investment.
No pains or expense will be spar
ed to make the present venture a
success. over thirty thousand acres
of land have been leased in this Vi
cinity. and sufficient capital is in
vested in the enterprise to enlarge
upon any discovery that may be
made. The field will be thoroughly
worked and exploited. The work
here is being superintendent by
Capt. Jas. C. Gibney, of clean. New
York, a man of wide and successful
experience in the oil well drilling
business. L
