THE TOBACCO POOLERS
MAKE PEACEFUL PROTEST

Madisonville, KY, 0St. 19.-Sev-
enty-five tobacco growers, members
of the Stemming District Associa-
ton in Webster county, came to
Madisonville in a body and called
on several tobacco buyers here, re-
questing them not to buy any of the
unpooled tobacco at the present
time. A buyer was also visited at
Manitou, four miles north of here,
where the same request was made.
The leader of the crowd stated in
an interview that several buyers
from this county had been over in
Webster, looking over crops, and
in few cases had made purchases
of this years tobacco.
The association is making a
strenuous campaign for members.
The books will be kept open for
poolers until the Goth of the pres
ent month for this purpose, and the
men who came here said it was
peaceful mission, that they had
neither guns nor whiskey and that
an honest appeal was made to those
who are engaged in the buying of
tobacco to stay out of the field for
the present.
The men spent the day in Madi-
sonville in conference with asso-
citation members here and left late
in the afternoon for Webster coun-
ty. 1t is understood the buyers
made them no promises.

WOMAN WAS ATTACKED
BY A VICIOUS NEGRO
The Calhoun Star says:

The Calhoun Star says:
An attempted assault was made
on Mrs. Henry Higgs, at her home
In Livermore, Wednesday evening.
at Z O'Clock. by Ed Taylor, a young
negro, living in that town.
Mrs. Higgs had just finished
washing the supper dishes and was
leaving the kitchen with a lamp in
her hand, when Taylor came into
the room from a back door and
grabbed her. She dropped the
lamp, which went out, and she
struggled with the negro in. dark
ness until help arrived. Her screams
brought her children from another
room who called for help, which
frightened the man away before ac-
complishing his purpose. He es-
capped the officers by successfully
hiding in a coalhouse until early
Thursday morning he was arrested
by Marshal V. p. Stateler, who
brought the negro to Calhoun, after
telephoning here for the sheriff to
meet him, as lynching was feared.
The prisoner is in the Calhoun jail.

my thought is constantly with
that gallant gentleman living in the
hospital at Chicago" said Woodrow
Wilson in several of his speeches
while touring the State of Della
ware last week. From the moment
that Gov. Wilson heard OF the foul
deed committed upon the person of
Col. Roosevelt, he seemed deeply
moved, and has never ceased to
keep informed as to the stricken
Rough Riders condition. 1t is
pleasant to know that Democracy
has such a kindly and human
hearted candidate for the highest
Office within the gift of the people.

Since January 1, of the present
year. Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives has passed tariff bills
which would have reduced the high
cost of living $65O.OOO,OOO a year.
President Taft vetoed every tariff
measure presented to him which in
the slightest degree provided relief
for the many from extortion. He
used his power to perpetuate pro-
hibitive protection and the sway of
the trusts. The way to remedy
this matter is to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket straight. This means
more this year than it ever did be-
fore.

The claim of Col. Roosevelt and
his followers that there is nothing
good left in the old Republican par
ty, according to their opinion. is
discounted by the fact that he was
ready and willing to run on the
platform as prepared at the first
Chicago convention until he found
that his nomination was impossible.
Then it was he found that the
whole Republican aggregation
party, principles and all-was rot
ten to the core. Knowing that it
was bad, he should have rejected it
from the start.

1t is pleasant to note that two
great political gladiators-Messrs.
Bryan and Roosevelt-have agreed
on at least one matter, in that hos
tilities shall not be suspended be-
tween the two on account of one
being temporarily disabled by the
bullet OF a would-be assassin. AS
both have agreed, this deplorable
affair in no wise affects the ques-
lions and principles at issue. II
was a sane contention OF -Ir. Bryan
in the initiative and 1t was a brave
acquiescence on the part of Col.
Roosevelt: Now let the battle pro-
coed!

suit his case.

Owing to a slip in somebody's
memory, President Taft failed to
be reminded to send in his formal
letter of acceptance of the Presi-
Dental nomination. But what does
it matter? He will be so far be-
hind at the post that it will not
really make any difference whether
he concluded to run or not.

Every allegation and indictment
which has been uttered by members
of either Republican faction against

The Fourth District Leader, q
Taft paper published at Hardins.
burg. says:
The Leader can state with
authority that Wilson is a dis
tinct disappointment to the
Democratic leaders and party
generally. There ia no Wilson
enthusiasm. 1t Is only those
who are seeking Office that pre-
tend to have any. Among
Democrats, who are conversant
with the situation, this aston
ishing state of affairs is freely
commented upon.
Wonder where the Leader got all
of its wonderful, far-reaching "au-
thority"by which 1t assumes to read
the minds of Democrats everywhere
and to find therein the greatest
disappointment at the candidacy of
Woodrow Wilson? Editor Meador
will no doubt find where all this
enthusiasm was concealed on the
eve of election day.

The Inquirer was simply taken

thing by setting the matter right in

Mexico City. Sept. Explicit in.
structions were received Friday by
American Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilson to make urgent request of the
Mexican government that 1t send
more troops into northern Mexico. One
hundred and fifty American mining
companies, operating within a dis
lance of $50 miles of the United
States border, appealed to the United
States government for protection
some time ago, and the order to the
ambassador is the result. Ysabel sta
ton, near the Ell Tigro mining camp,
an American property, was robbed OF
$1,000 worth of merchandise. There
is a federal force near Ysabel, but the
rebels surrounding the camp are much
more numerous than the soldiers.
Well founded reports have been re-
ceived from government agents along
the Sonora-Arizona border that citi-
zens of Douglas and Bisbee, AriZ.,
have organized a large armed party
to cross into Mexico to relieve the
American defenders Of the Nacozari
copper mining camp, who have been
standing of a rebel force for two days.
President Madero has issued a call
for an extra session of congress to
convene just as soon as the notice can
be served to the senators and dep
uties In the various states. The extra
session will consider only ways and
means for putting dow the rebellion,
the securing Of more funds for this
purpose and the plans Of campaign.

REPUBLICANS SUSTAIN SEVERE
LOSSES IN ELECTION.
Office Receiving Majority, Le9ls-

White River Junction, VT, Sept. g.
From revised and practically complete
returns from the "a cities and towns
an accurate conception of the strength
Of the Democrats and P~rogressives
in the balloting in Vermont was to be
gained here Wednesday. As no can
didate for a state office received a ma
jority of the votes, the legislature,
under the law, will elect. With only
six towns still to report, the vote for
governor stood:
Allen F.. Fletcher of Cavendish

Harlan. B. Howe Of st. Johnsbury
(Dem.), 1871.
Rev. Frazer Metzger Of Randolph
(Prog.), 1886.
Clement F. Smith of Morrisville
(Pro.), 1916.
Fred w. Suffer of Barre (Soc.),
1854.
The six missing towns cast a total
vote two years ago of LIS, of which
the Republicans polled 7s9 and the
Democrats 1854.
Returns for senators and represent
atives from three-quarters Of the cit
les and towns showed that the Repub-
licans will have no difficulty in seat
ing their candidates for governor and
other state officers.
