Thomas Hoar, the devoted servan. upon whom Gilbert White. the English naturalist. depended to carry out his garden plans and to look after his comfort in many ways. was noted for his exactness. MT. H. c. Shelley, in ''Gilbert White and Selborne," gives an amusing illustration.
 There was one occasion when Thom- as came to report, Please, sir, I've been and broke a glass;
 Broke glass, Thomas! How did you do that?'
 "I'll show you, sir" te rejoined as he disappeared for moment. Returning with q glass in his hand. he let it fall on the floor. remarking:
 "That's how broke 1t, sir"

Tobacco Men Meet in Lexington.

it was the sentiment of the Direc.
tors of the Burley Tobacco Union. at
their meeting in Lexington Wednes-
day, that if the Burley Tobacco So
ciety will join in the movement for no
crop this year, the growing OF white
hurley tobacco will be entirely sus-
pended during 1911 from the Ohio
River to the Tennessee line.
The Burley Tobacco Society is to
give its answer to the invitation eX-
tended by the Burley Tobacco Union
at conference between the Executive
Committees of the two organizations
to be held in Lexington February 6.
The meeting was for the purpose of
hearing reports on pledges in the cut
ting out campaign. and the following
81 counties were represented: Ander-
son, Boone, Bracken, Bourbon. Bath.
Breckenridge. Clark, Carroll. Franklin
Fayette, Grant, Garrard. Harrison.
Henry. Lewis. Mason. Montgomery,
Madison, Nicholas, Nelson, Owen,
Oldham, Pendleton, Shelby, Trimble,
Woodford, Washington. Jessamine
counties, Kentucky; Brown, Adams,
Clermont counties, OHIO, and Dearborn
county. Indiana.
!. An estimate of the reports made
by the repre- of these coun-
ties showed that approximately 5000
acres controlled by growers "ho had
been independent OF any pooling Orga-
nization in the past had been pledged,
and that scores Of solicitors are still
out with their books.
On motion of Ward Headey Presi-
dent June Gayle appointed James F.
Middleton. A. w. Hamilton and p. O.
Minor committee to confer with the
Executi ye Committee of the Burley
Tobacco Society with a view to COM
bining the two organizations in the
cut out movement. This committee
visited the offices of the Burley Tobac-
co Society, sized up the situation to
President LeBus and his conferees and
asked them to come in.
President LeBus said that he would
like to see little mere strength in
the Independent rat ks and suggested
February 6 as the date on which the
Burleys Tobacco Society would give it's
answer. This was acceptable to the
committee from the Burley Tobacco
Union.
President Gayle, upon receipt of this
report, urged all of the representa-
tives to have theiI counties complete.
ly canvassed. and the pledges in by
that date.
The Directors adopted a resolution
indorsIng the bill of Senator Robert
l.. Taylor. of Tennessee, to put tobac-
co on the pure food list and urging
Kentucky Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress to use all proper
eff ortS to secure its passage.

A call is being circulated from Mt.
Sterling, KY, to the tobacco growers
of Montgomery county, urging that all
growers who wish to raise a crop in
1911 be in attendance &C a meeting tO
be held in Mt. Sterling on January %.
The petition is being readily signed
and it is asserted that majority :of
the Montgomery county operators have
announced themselves to he opposed to
the cut-out policy for the coming year.
The petition that is being circulated
among the growers states that it is
believed that the policy of the BurIey
Union i'm cutting out the 1911 crop does
not meet with the wishes of the
people. nor will it rebound to the best
interests of Montgomery .county. The
coming meeting will determine wheth.
er or not hundreds of acres will be set
with tobacco for 1911 in that section.

That the attitude toward the cut-out

the fact that, on January 81. review

AT the request of the board Congress
man Ellis has consulted with the in
terror department regarding a right
of way across the unallotted lands
This right of way has been promised
and the government, through Major
Swartzlander, will also assist in secur-
ing rights OF way from the Indians
who hold allotments. No trouble Is
anticipated in securing such rights Of
way since the city may condemn
rights of way If unable to secure them
upon satisfactory terms by any other
course.
When the special city is elected to
vote q charter change preparatory
to voting the water bond issue the city
administration will also submit to the
voters an amendment bearing upon
the subject of street work. An an
nouncement to this effect was made
today by Mayor L. ]. Murphy. Ac-
cording to the mayor the amendment
has not yet been drafted but the most
important thing about the amendment
will be the fact that it will excuse the
city from paying for the intersections
when paving or macadam work is
done. This change is desired for the
reason that under the present charter
the city would quickly run short OF
funds were any extensive street work
undertaken.
Mayor Murphy states that the char
ter change will be worked out by the
city attorney and members of the
council previous to being submitted
to the people.

THE FINAL VOTE is
FORTY TO FORTY-SIX
Progressives Fail to Gust "Blonde
Boss Accused of Bribery-One of
Most Remarkable Fights Senate
Ever Saw-MagaZines Win.

Washington, d. c., March with
forty voting that they believed him
corrupt and forty-six voting for his
exoneration of the general charges "
bribery and corruption in his cleo
ton Lorimer was today vindicated
and the resolution to unseat him was
lost. 1t ends one of the most re-
markable fights in the history of the
United States senate in which the
progressives headed by Beveridge de-
clared the blonde boss had been
whItewashed by majority of the in
vestigation committee and demanded
his unseating. During it all Lori
mer never specifically defended him
self and steadfastly refused to re-
sign.
The galleries were crowded when
the vote was taken.
The features of the three weeks
struggle were the speeches by Bev-
eridge, Rolf and Crawford all of
them bitterly attacking Lorimer, and
when the vote seemed Imminent they
began a filibuster which held the
senate to an all night session. For
himself Lorimer appeared and spoke
in his own behalf in which he review
ed his early struggles and attributed
the fact that democrats he knew
while driving a street car caused
democrats to vote for him as sena
tor
Among those voting for Lorimer
were Carter of Montana; Flint of
| California; Hepburn Of Idaho; Pi'es
! of Washington. Those against him
were Bourne and Chamberlain Of
| oregon; Borah of Idaho, and Dixon
Of Montana.
