RuthIsss pestruetlon Of Book.

Napoleon was indirectly responsible
for the destruction Of a vast quantity
OF books. In 1872 he framed law al
lowing goods to be imported from the
United Kingdom, provided that the
importer shipped an equivalent guam
tity OF French goods to this country.
French merchants generally met the
requirements Of this law by shipping
books to the value Of the wares they
wished to import. Having served to
gain the necessary permit, the books
were thrown overheard on the way to
England, as there was no demand for
them here. Shippers could well aiford
to do this, for coffee and sugar were
then about ten times dearer in France
than in England. 1t has been esti-
mated that books to the nominal value
of four million dollars we're destroyed
in this way.

A MAMMOTH MERGER OF
UTILITIES COMPANIES

Bowling Green, KY, Jan. Ga
gigantic consolidation Of number
of electric railways and gas and cleo
trio plants in cities in Kentucky in
volving millions, was closed in
Louisville. The support Of the trade
involves the Bowling Green Street
Railway and Gas Light Company,
and similar plants in the cities of
Frankfort, Hopkinsville, Henderson,
Paducah and greensboro.
1t is understood that the corpora
ton that takes these plants will be
known as the Kentucky Utility Com
pany, its headquarters will be at
Louisville and Lindsay Fitch will
probably be at the head. All the
plants in these several cities will be
reconstructed and many improve
ments made.
The big deal has been in process
of consummation for the past ten
months. It eventually means that
the state is about to enter into an
era of electric railway building, and
that within a few years these diff
ferent cities viii be connected with
interurban roads. The home man
agement of each individual company
will remain as IT is, being governed
by the head Office at Louisville.

RESOLUTIONS OF
COUNTY UNION.
: A. s. of E. Seek to Regulate
Business.
RECITE IMPORTANT MATTERS
Some OutcrOppingS of Recent
Secret Session Of the
Body.
4 CHICKEN PLEDGE ADOPTED

The Ohio County Union of the
American Society of Equity met at
the court house in Hartford, KY,
January and 6, 1912.
President L. B. Tichenor called
the house to order at 10 o'clock.
The body was then led in prayer by
T. II. Balmain, after which much
important business was transacted
but only a small part for publica-
ttion, this being an executive ses-
sion.
Below is given some resolutions
that were requested to be published:
'~--" Resolved, 9th, That We most
' earnestly condemn the action Of the
Board Of Control of the Green River
Tobacco Growers Association in
that it has, ever since its organiza-
ton, not only refused to cooperate
with other farmers organizations
in price-making of the tobacco, but
has always made prices from $1.50
to $500 less than other organiza-
lions.
Resolved. 18th, That every man
who has an interest in a crop of to-
bacco in the year of 1912 shall pay
dues and sign pledge to the A. S. of
~, whether laP,owner or tenant, if
said tobacco is to be sold and de-
livered with the A. S. of r.
Resolved, 18th, That we, as true
loyal members of the A. S. of E., do
accept all parties in our 1911 pool
of tobacco If said parties will pay
dues for 1911 and 1912 and sign
our 1912 tobacco pledge, and that
said signers will wait till the first
pool is delivered to deliver said to-
bacco."
II was ordered that a chicken
pledge be formulated and circulat-
ed which is to be turned in at
call meeting of the County Union to
he held on the 9th of March, said
meeting to be for further arrange
ments for the sale Of poultry.
Now boys, just watch your wives
make you ashamed of yourselves in
cooperation again, as they did last
year. Go to them for a lesson and
you will surely do better and the
outsider will come in.

1912.

At a final session of the quarter
ly meeting of the Green River Dis
trict Association of the American
Society of Equity, which was held
at the city hall in Greensboro on
Thursday afternoon and evening,
the most important step taken was
the adoption of 2 resolution fixing
the minimum price for the 1912
crop of tobacco at eight cents, which
means the entire crop pooled in the
district must average eight cents.
The minimum price cannot be
changed unless by a vote of all the
poolers OF the district.
J. B. Holland, OF Lewisport. Han
cock county, was elected president
of the association, succeeding w. p.
Stevens, of Livermore. Mclean
county. S. B. Robertson, OF Cal
houn, was reelected secretary,
having filled this Office for several
years.
R. K. Blake, of Hawesville. was
elected as delegate to represent
the district union at the State meet
ing of the A. S. of e., which will
convene in greensboro this week.
The meeting was very enthu-
siastic one, and there was a large
representation of delegates present
throughout the district, which EN-
braces the counties of Daviess, Ohio,

Salmon, recovered.
The prosecution against Walter
