DUNLOP BUYS
ACME MILLS
Largest Mills In the South
To Be Running
Soon.
CLOSED THURSDAY.
New Owner Takes Immediate
Possession. Starts
January l.

Everybody will be glad to learn
that the Acme Mills have been sold
and that the wheels will be turning
in about two months. The new own.
er is Mr.. Joe P. Dunlop of Clarks-
vile.
Negotiations had been in progress
some time. but the trade was not
consummated until Thursday last,
when Mr.. M. H. Tandy, represent
ing Mr.. Dunlop, closed the trade
and the transfer was made.
By the terms of sale Mr.. Dunlop
takes immediate pos: ession, but he
does not expect to commence opera
tions until about the first of Janu-
ary.
The mills have been standing idle
about two years as the bond-holders,
who owned them, could not see their
way to operate them. Consequent-
ly great deal of repairing about
the premises has to be done, and be
sides the machinery has been dem.
aged by being allowed to stand idle
for so long time. A general over
hauling of the entire plant will be
nEade during the two months follow
ing the purchase.
! While the price was net made pub;
lie it is understood to be about $50.
l0C0, a very low price. The new own
er will put it in thorough repair an.
Irinstall such appliances as may be
needed to bring 1t up-to-date.
With one or two exceptions the
Acme Mills and Elevator Co. was the
largest in the South. having capac.
ity of 1900 barrels of -four per day.
No mills were better known in the
South and its products had the
preference among the larger cities,
TO which almost all uhe flour made
was shipped.
The collapse of the company,
which occurred three years ago, was
a calamity to the city and county,
which in any otheroemmunity would
have been far more disastrous and
far-reaching than here. True it was
that many operatives were thrown
out of employment and 'public con
fidence somewhat shaken. but in q
short time Hopkinsville and old
Christian recovered from their par
alysis and a wave of unprecedented
prosperity followed in the wake Of
a short-lived depression and pessi-
mism. Everybody will rejoice when
the wheels begin to revolve and the
grist begins to flow. e
DR.. Dunlop is theleading miller of
Tennessee. operating an immense
plant in Clarksville. His coming to
Hopkinsville will be welcomed with
delight by all the people.

in the excitement Col. Hart fell
overheard. A great difference of
opinion arose over rescuing Col.
Hart. Some argued that it was not
worth while, as he was always get
ting into fights and was liable to be
killed anyway and while his clothes
were spoiled it was just as we'll to
let him drown. Col. Walter Kelly.
stopped the discussion by throwing
him life preserver with which, he
reached the bank. When remon-
strated him, Col. Kelly said he had
an accident policy on him and his, ,
company wouldn't like to lose him..
Col. Woodbridge agreed to let COLI
Hart back in the boat after he had
shaken himself.
Col. Chess Pyle said he had no
speech to make. but he would like to
know if it was true that the Montana
niggers were trying to grab all Of
the turkeys before Thanksgiving
day?
Col. Bill Howell said Col. Pyle's
Ignorance gave him a pain in his
diaphragm. He ought to know that,
the Montenegro disturbance was in.-
side Of Turkey. Col. Pyle said he
wasn't any too strong on the Jonah
story in the Bible and Col. Howell
couldn't put anything like that over
on him. He'd heard of a negro in a
woodpile, but negro in a turkey
was too much to believe.
Col. Walter Radford secured the
floor and began a speech advocating
the election Of Wilson & Marst ALL
but President Champlin saw trouble
brewing and after calling Col. Rad
ford to order adjourned the meet

Wilmington, Del. Oct. 18.-A
large number of policemen were dis

of threat made by an Italian to

Governor Woodrow Wilson toured
Delaware yesterday, deploring the
assault on Colonel Roosevelt and
deprecating the use Of violence to-
interrupt the course of politics.
He devoted his argument mostly
to state issues in Delaware. He
omitted mention of the progressive
party and when he discussed nation
al questions attacked the admins
tration of President Teft, declaring
there was prosperity enough for
those at the top but that it had not
"percolated through to the rank and

MG LEN Vile bHI
WS k6Hwu.xBM headed Club
~ held its first
meeting in four years Saturday
night at 11:30, in the Avalon assem-
bly, room. Nearly all of the old
timers were there, as well as a good
many new ones. There has been a
general desire for some time to get
the Club on its feet again and the
President finally concluded to issue
the call that brought the members
together. In calling the meeting to
order, Col. Champlin referred to
the many pleasant meetings held in
the years past and said there was no
regular program for the evening,
but he would resolve the meeting
into a symposium Of oratory and
call upon such members as seemed
to be suffering to speak. II shall
begin" he said "by calling upon one
of our distinguished members who
has just returned from abroad to
make a few remarks on what he saw
on the other side. Not all he saw
of course, but few things that will
dc 10 print. Col. G. Edward Gath
er will assume a perpendicular at
titude and start his oratorical wind
mill."
Col. Gather was visibly impressed
by the honor shown him, but said
the time was too short for him to
tell the story of his travels. At
some future time he said it would
afford him pleasure to hire a hall
and impart information that would
open the eyes of the whole town.
The one thing that impressed me
most." said he was that the for
eieners were glad to see me. They
seemed to know who was and / was
ac.ually. embarrassed by the atten-
tions showered upon me by the
crowned heads of Europe. One day
as i was autoing down the Champs
Elysees in Paree, on my way to the
Jardin des Tuileries. | saw a portly
gentleman standing on the sidewalk
and gesticutating wildly for me to
stop. AS my chauffeur stopped
the machine. he sprang upon the
step and seiEing both my hands said:
'How are you Col. Gather. / am
President Fallieres. recognize you
from seeing you in Pathe's eekly
pictures of notable Americans. They
caught you as you disembarked a
few days ago. My dear Colonel,
said he, you are to dine with me
this evening" | was compelled to
disappoint him and said 'Fally. old
boy. 1 am very sorry. but l am on
my way to the depot now. l have
just chartered private car to take
10 Berlin 10 accept an invitation to
spend day with my friend Billy
HohenzolIern. i can hardly spare
the time. as am due in America now
and am under promise to stop one
day in London with George Guelph.
Next time | come over will not dis
appoint you. old fellow. l wish you
could have seen the distressed look
on his face. But. Mr.. President. |
did not intend to say this much and
will yield the floor to some one else"
CoI.G.W. Southall said Col. Gath
ler's trip abroad reminded him of a
voyage he took last summer from
Edgewater Park up the river to the
Waterworks dam. Everything went
smoothly-somebody having poured
oil on the water-until Col. Bob

light. Il seems Cot. Woodbridge

MURDERED IN LOOP
John H. Logue, a diamond mer-
chant, was murdered in his of
flee, room 10 of the McVicker
building, in the very heart of the
loop district, shortly after noon
today.
It is presumed that the motive
of the murder was robbery, al
though it is not known if any
thing was stolen. There is no
clue to the murderer.
At II O'Clock Logue's office
boy went out for lunch, leaving
the diamond merchant alone in
his office.
Three-quarters of an hour later
a messenger boy knocked at the
door and received no answer. He
opened the door and walked in.
The window shades of the room
were drawn, and the room was in
Semi-darkness. Logue was lying
Sprawled over his desk.
His hands were tied behind
him. There was a gag in his
mouth. His head avs horribly
crushed in. An empty cartridge,
lay on the floor beside him.
The murderer must have shot
Logue through the head, and then
beaten the dying mans head in
with the butt end of the revolver.
The safe in the corner of the
room was locked. There was no
evidence of a struggle. No one
in the building had heard any
