Georgetown Men Inspect Streets

Mayor Thomas j. Finnell, of George
town, accompanied by several mem
bers of the city council Of that city,
were in Paris yesterday looking over
the streets of the city and inspecting
the road building machinery used in
the construction of the thoroughfares
here.
The delegation from Georgetown has
been making trips to several of the
adjoining cities with view of getting
the methods of street building employ
ed by their neirghbors and were taken
all over Paris by Mayor Hinton.
The visitors highly complimented the
Paris streets and stated they we're the
best of any of the towns they had Wis.,
tied in Central Kentucky. The grades
were the most interesting to the visit
ers, and the methods employed in
street building in Paris will probably
be adopted by Georgetown.
A visit was made to the city quarry
where an inpsection of the rock crusher
and other machinery was made.

Growers Talk OF 1918 Cut Out.

A writer IN the Owenton News Her
aid says
Tobacco growers from various sec:
tions of the State are talking strongly
OF a cut out OF the next crop. Owen
county growers have alreadyg had one
meeting, and the sentiment in that
county is almost unanimous for the
movement.
Influential men lfrom Woodford
county and Scott county have given
their hearty approval to the PROPOSE
tion. Many Fayette growers on the
street here Monday said 1T was the
only thing to do if the farmers ex-
pected a reasonable price for their
crops.
"It is pointed out that the Louis
vile Tobacco Warehouse Company is
planning to own all the loose leaf mar
kets, and their control is regarded as a
dangeous menace to the trade. The
trust is as much in evidence today as
ii was before the government attempt
ed to dissovle it. There is little or no
competition today in the Louisville,
and Cincinnati markets among the
branches into which the old American
Company was dissolved. and prices
have gone steadily downward since
last March.
Friends of the farmers realize that
II the cut out movement is to be sue
cessful, it must be agitated now be-
fore the 1912 crop changes hands. If
the movement is a success. of course
the growers will add several cents
pound to their price, and hold their
tobacco till they get it.
No definite information is obtain
able as to the nature of the campaign
to be waged, but it is said some move
ment along this line is sure to be
started in all the counties in the near
FUTURE

That the residents of Paris will in
the course of few months be supplied
with natural gas is shown in a letter
received by Mayor John L. Hinton.
from Mr.. John Tonkin, President of
the Kentucky Natural Gas Company.
According to MIR. Tohkin tho company
desires to extend its line to this city,
but fearing this cannot be done before
cold weather sets in in the piping is
likely to be deferred until next spring.
Mr.. Tonkin will be here about October
Sand will take up the matter with the
officials, looking toward definite action
in extending the line to Paris. The
letter to Mayor Hinton is as follows:
Oil Springs, Pa, Sept. 9, 1912.
Mayor ]. T. Hinton, Paris, KY.
Dear Sir:-I am in receipt of your
favor of the I'd inst, and in reply, will
state, that it is the intention of the
Kentucky Natural Gas Company to con-
vey gas to Paris, as we have been led
very anxious for it. AS stated in a
communication recently to Mr.. Wood
ford of the Bourbon Bank and Trust
| OO1npdUy, VI yOuI Clty, CuS OIiy NuOo-
tioa now is, whether we will succeed in
building our line to West Virginia in
time to assure an ample supply of gas.
in addition to the towns we now have.
If we can build that line in time, there
will be no question about the gas, but
if detained by inclement weather or
other circumstances beyond our control,
and cold weather sets in before the
completion of that line, it would be all
we could do from our present field to
supply our present consumers; and
while we are anxious to take gas to
Paris, we are also anxious to do SO
when we guarantee to the citizens of
your city an ample supply.
| expect to be in Kentucky about the
8th of October, at our annual meeting
in Lexington, and will probably be in a
shape then to take the matter up def
nitely. as to what we will be able to do;
and will take the pleasure of calling
upon you at that time, and giving you
more definite information as to the pos.
sibility of our reaching you this fall.
l may say, however, that if the circum'
stances would not warrant us to &c
there this fall, we certainly will be ir
shape to do so next spring.
Yours very truly,
JOHN TONKIN.

Brokers Barred from Handling
Stock.

The Associated Publishers3C Company
has issued letter to all of its stock
olders, many of whom are in this city,
to the effect that the stocks of the
company will not be handled by
brokers or brokerage firms. The COM
pany is expecting an attempt on the
part of brokers of the larger cities
to secure control of some of the stock
and the letter, sent out as a warning
to stockholders, is as follows:
"In line with our announced policy,
of keeping in constant touch with our
attention to the practice of certain un-
scrupulous. .brokers.who are to be found
operating in all large cities.
"We have met with such success in
our financing that, knowing their
methods. we expect that they will at
tempt their nefarious game at any
time.
"In the first place. our stock is only
sold through our own representatives.
who carry both "Bradstreet" and
Dun" introductions. We have not,
nor will we at any time in the future
offer our stock through brokers. Thi;
is final.
"Tbere are so called brokers in al
large cities who are Iconstantly on the
alert for an opportunity to profit
through the, financing of new compa
nies. The usual plan is to secure {
| list of stockholders. In our case thi:
would be comparatively easy, as We
furnish our list to our chain of papers
| for the benefit of our stockhlders. L
they obtain our list through some ne
farious method, the so called broker!
hen attempt to 'hold US up," de
manding an option on block of ou
stock. at much reduced figure. We
cf course, would refuse. They ,woul(
then attempt to bring US to more phi
able frame of mind, by writing to /;
few of our stockholders offering, fo
instance. one hundred shares at 81
cents on the dollar, SUBJECT T(
PRIOR SALE. The concluding phrase
is their safeguard: when called on tt
deliver they always reply, THE STOCK
HAS BEEN SOLD, or they perhaps
in fact, buy stock from one of oul
stockholders and resell same at a los
in order to create paniky feeling ant
consequent decentralization of our stock
holders. Should you receive such let
tiers, you can best serve your com
pany's..interest by sending US all sucl
correspondence.
"We want to say that you may fee
proud of the progress we are making
We are having strong support from
our stockholders. This is as it shoulC
be. By pulling hard for our joint in

That's the only place to raise a boy
and if boys and youg men of today fol-
lowed the good old plow instead of the

at cafes, they would live great deal
longer and carry 80 years on broader
shoulders and more grace than they
will. Regular habits is what a boy or

matter Of a few years before they will
live in doll houses and in rat traps.
