Says Gov. Patterson Made
No Effort to Enforce the
Prohibition Laws.
WILL GO TO THE LIMIT,
New Executive of Tennessee,
Will Try to Bring Vio-
lators to Terms.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 31.-ln his
first message to the Tennessee Cen
Assembly, submitted today, Gov.
Hooper tensures the Patterson adj
ministration for the mon enforce
ment of prohibition laws" Gov.
Patterson, his immediate predecessor,
was himself partially responsible for
such an abuse, declared Gov. Hooper
"by exercising too great an execu-
tive clemency."
Gov. P9tterson's attitude, accord
ing to Gov. Hooper, encouraged
the wide spread violation of the law
by dangling the hope-almost an as
surance of pardon before the eyes
Of a violator.
He went on record" declared
Gov. Hooper, "by saying tnat he
was not going to extend clemency
to any violator of this class unless
there should be some extraordinary
reason for so doing"
1T is my intention, officially and
personally" continued Gov. Hooper,
Ito join hands with every citizen in
fighting for the enforcement of this
statute. If the Legislature will
clothe me with additional power tC
enforce this law, will use it. Nher
! citizens present the evidence of g
violation of this statute before an
official, and that official does not
act, it is time to impeach." "
! Other recommendations include
an increase in the appropriations for
! Confederate veterans. good roads,
greater size and greater efficiency in
the State guard, an anti pass law,
larger appropriations for the public
school system. and better pay for the
! teachers, compulsory attendance laws
in connection with the schools, a
juvenile reformatory. wide and gen.
eral reforms in the penal system Of
the State and a fair parole law,
greater economy in conducting some
of the depar tments of the State, a

Jim West Saved His Neck in
Shelbyville Lynching, but
Was Hurt in Fall.

Shelbyville, KY, Jan. 31.-Pri-
vate detectives who have been at
work in Shelbyville for weeks, are
said to have discovered a mass of
evidence as to the operation of the

1t is also reported that West, who's
present whereabouts are not known;
has a broken arm, the injury having
been suffered when he fell from the
bridge after he had dangled for 1
time at the end of the rope by which
the mob planned to hang him.
West, after making his escape
went to the nome Of his parents
where he spent two days and two
nights. The story he told of his es.

counted, is one of the most remark.
able ever known.
The first negro, Eugene Marshall,
was ordered to jump from the
bridge. His neck was broken. The
second, Wade Patterson. refused to
Jump and was pushed off, but the
rope broke and he tried to get away
All the mob chased him except four
or five, and it was while they were
thus engaged that West, who had
managed to grasp the rope with his
hand when he was pushed off, work
ed the rope from around his neck,
dropped to the creek bank and got
away.
1t is said that a great many indict.
ments will follow the Investigations
by the detectives. The mob, it has
been found, was composed chiefly of
saloon hangers-on and the disorder

The prices are not only holding

FIRING OF 500 WAGONS.
III Records Broken BY Rush
Of Weed To This
Market.

shere have been busy times in the
Hopkinsville tobacco market, but
this week is one of the banner weeks
in handling the weed Monday.
Tuesday and yesterday long lines of
wagons were strung out at the re-
ceiving doors of the American Snuff
Co., The Imperial Tobacco Co.. the
W. s. Mathews Co.., and Tandy &
Fairleigh, and also at all three of
the loose floor warehouses of Jas.
West & Co, ]. P Thompson & Co.,
and R. E. Cooper & Co. the receipts
were very heavy. The sales on the
loose floors alone are averaging
100000 lbs. day. 1t is estimated
for accurate statistics are not avail
able without much trouble-that 500
wagons were unloaded Tuesday.
The factories began receiving at
daylight and numbers of wagons
had to stay in town over night. A
great problem is to find accomoda
tions for the wagons and for the
drivers. Every boarding house is
doing an overflow business.
The wagons come from all adjoin-
ing counties, many from great dis
tances. They come into town with
the tobacco covered with all kinds
of clothes. from big waterproof
tents to bed quilts of many hues.
Spot cash is paid for the tobacco
l and a ,million pounds of tobacco
means about $S5, 900. as the tobacco
averages So so. Much of this money
at once finds its way into the chan
nels of trade and the merchants who
have had the foresight to advertise
are doing a flourishing business.
In the big factories and rehandling
houses, all of which have increased
their capacity since the last season,
there is the greatest activity. Hun
dreds of hands are being worked and
