yourself until you see something
tangible. and when you know the
date fixed for it. If you do this you
won't be very badly fooled if the re-

(you know both Of them have been
dead for a decade and over big

to be headed this way. and so is the

METHODISTS TO GATHER
At MOrganfeld = About 200
Ministers to Attend.

Methodists all over the Western
half of Kentucky, including Louis
vile. are beginning to look forward
to the annual meeting of the LOUIS
vile conference that will be held
this year at Morgsnfield, Sept 25 80.
Always the chief feature of these
annual meetings is the assignment
Of preachers for the ensuing year.
Changes of pastors can be made
at any time, and very frequently
are for various reasons, but one of
the fixed laws of the church is that
no pastor can remain in charge of a
congregation longer than four years
in succession. This will cause the
changing Of twenty odd pastors this
time. but nearly all these are among
the smaller churches. The: e are no
presiding elders slated for change
and the uncertainty that always pre-
walls on this subject is not so great
this time as usual 1t Is reported
that change will be made in one
of the strongest Louisville churches
on account of the failing health of
the present pastor requiring him to
give up tie work.
1t is not yet absolutely certain
what bishop will preside over the
conference this time. 1t has been
announced that Bishop Collins Denny
would preside but recently Bishop
E. E. Hoss has been in such poor
health that his physicians have adj
vised him not to hold any confer
ences. This will necessitate a change
in the assignments Of the other
bishops and it now seems probable
that Bishop James H. Mccoy will be
sent to Morganfeld.
For three or four days prior 10
the formal meeting of the confer
ence the officers and committees
will be in Morganfield perfecting de-
tails so that everything will be in
readiness for prompt consideration
and dispatch of the business,
There will be about two hundred
preachers in attendance and nearly
as many delegates and visitors. All
those with proper credentials will
be given free entertainment in the
homes of the hospitable citizens of
Morganfeld and already the assign
ment list of homes has been sent
out. The Morganfeld people are
making extensive preparations for
the entertainment of the conference.

A HEAVY CROP
OF Tobacco For 1912 Now A.
Certainty.

Getting concensus of opinion
among tobscco growers is a pretty
hard undertaking. from the fact
that local rains during the year may
not all be shared alike by farmers in
all parts Of the county. Consequent
ly one planters crop may be in fine
condition. while another PLATTER,
many miles to the East of him. will
be badly needing rain to bring his
tobacco out.
In the face of these facts after
considerable inquiry we have arrived
at the conclusion that we are justi-
fed in saying that the 1912 crop is
close to the largest in acreage ever
raised and also that the crop general
" is Of fine quality. though the
leaves are not 50 large ss former
crops.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1912-09-12

Down with your decorations. for
we ''sure must" have rain in a few
days.
AS is always usual, there is great
demand for homes. Will we never
have enough?
The mercury in the tube has been
soaring in the vicinity of the century
mark for two weeks or more and
crops are suffering.
If it's only measley little Sc 600
that is needed to guarantee a rail
road from here to Greensboro it will
be subscribed in ajffy.
Boys, remember the bad luck a
man had last Monday and don't
throw stones And don't forget that
there is an ordinance against it, with
a penalty and costs.
The b, sabal park now is as lone
some as a graveyard when the death
angel is taking a month off. It's
worse, because there're 40 epitaphs
to read, as the Moguls didn't earn
one.
Work on the new moving picture
show is being rushed. The work
men will soon be ready to put on
the roof aud by the time the wealth
er gets comfortable the completion
will be near.
! There's always something doing
here. The next thing is carnival.
AS it is to be given under the aus
pieces Of the Third Regiment Band
verybody's wish is that it be big
success. But don't wish only. Prove
your good will by going yourself.
Here's prediction: The next pre-
tentious building that is erected in
Hopkinsville will be large apart
ment building. Can you think of
anything more needed? The men
who are looking to the supplying of
necessities can't fail to see great
need of it.
Hunters are still hanging around
the ponds and watching for the
doves as they come to get water.
There'll hardly be enough Of the in
nocent birds left ''for seed" before
the close of the open season. There's
nothing on the table now that comes
higher than a dish Of doves. all
things considered.
Four railroads for Hopkinsville!
Doesn't that sound big? But it isn't
too big for the town that was ahead
Of everything in the state for in
crease IN population according to the
last census. We don't count Mindless
b0ro, because il is both boom town
and mining town.

all of the preliminary expense of
Sc, 600 on the day the first car ran
into Hopkinsville over the line and
Messrs. Kennedy and Cox promptly
accepted the offer. so great is their
faith in their ability to put the pro-
ject through. They say it is backed
by capitalists with unlimited capital
and that the road will be built with
out delay,
Mr. John n. Bell, who acted as
Chairman Of the meeting, appointed
a committee consisting of Thos. w.
Long. L. H. Davis, M. c. Forbes. w.
7. Tandy, A. H. Eckles. Ode Davis
and I. ]. McReynolds to solicit SUBJ
scrlptions to the fund of $4,000, to
be taken on the condition that they
are not to be paid until the first
train enters the city.
The territory penetrated is rich in
timber and coal and the road will be
an important addition to Hopkins
ville's growing railroad system. 1t
is the cheapest offer ever made for a
road. The LIN. cost the city $50, 900,
the o. V. cost $4,000 in bonds a
few of which are still unpaid and the
T. &. cost the business men $4,000
for terminal facilities.

In order to meet the criticisms of
those who assert that the damming
of Little river has caused the unusu-
al prevalence of typhoid fever in the
city, Health Officer j. w. Harmed
last week sent sample Of the water
taken from the river at Edgewater
Park to Bowling Green for official
analysis. The following report has
been received from Prof. Mark:

cohecred at 9 d m. on the Ord inst.
was received by US on the 4th at 9 a..

made to determine whether the wa
ter was contaminated by sewage, or
any intestinal matter. We find at
the end of 48 hours that there is no
evidence of contamination, using the
presumptive test for colon bacilli.
One C. C. of this water was sown in

State Sanitary Engineer.
This effectually settles the claim
that filling the channel of the river
with stream of pure water has in
jured the health of the city. There
have been three fatal cases of ty-
phoid fever in the city this summer,
all remote from the river. There
are perhaps dozen cases. white and
colored, in various parts of the city
now. one or two severe cases and the
rest so mild that physicians are not
agreed in some cases as to the ma
ture of the malady.
This is not at all serious fora city of
10000 people, especially in view Of
the fact that there are more cases in
the county than in the city. The
dam at Second street has not stopped
the flow Of water. the usual quantity
passing over the dam. which is sup
plemented by the Rock Spring at
Ninth street The river below the
dam is at its usual low stage at this
season and the city authorities are
getting ready to remove sandbars
and keep IT ia sanitary condition.
There is no foundation for the exag-
gerated stories of the uusanitary
of the water, which was
thoroughly flushed by the heavy
rains about three weeks ago
DR.. Harmed has sent samples of
the drinking water used at all of the
public schools and expects reports
from them in few days.

 All who applied for liquor licenses in the village of Pawcatuck received a communication Saturday morning from the county commissioners bear ing the information whether the ap- plicants were granted or denied h- cense to sSll intoxicating liquors in the village for the ensuing license year. Those who received the favorable con- sideration of the commissioners are Matthew Sullivan Louis Celia, John Mahoney, Neville & Walton, James Murphy and Albion Tattersall. With a single exception the locations are the same as when the town of Ston- ington was in the wet column before. The armoTy building is now being pre- pared for trolley headquarters, where the saloon of Keleher & Walton was located, and therefore is not available for saloon purposes. MT. Walton re- gently purchased the three-story structure in West Broad street, known as the Old Brick Mill, and is convert ing the lower floor into a saloon.
 Before sunset of Saturday, the Ma honey, Celia, Murphy and Tattersall saloons were opened for business, but the other two were not in readiness. Sullivan expects to have his place ready for business by Wednesday, but 1t is probable that a couple of weeks will elapse before the Old Brick Mill conversion will be completed. Should Westerly issue the full number of i- censes, as last year, there will be twenty five saloons in a comparatively small area and in close competition. The license fee in Westerly is $700 and just over the bridge in the village of Pawcatuck the fee is s450.
 Under direction of the state highway department, work was recently com menced on a stretch of road near Us Quepaugh. leading to Kingston station, which will complete a route from Mar ragansett Pier to Westerly through the section by way of Wyoming and Hope Valley.

It will lead over Kingston Hill through Usquepaugh, Wyoming, Hope Valley and Ashaway to Westerly and thus connect with Watch Hill, bring ing these two summer resorts into closer touch and through a charming country section.
