 turned to this city quietly and held several conferences with friends in the last two or three days. If this be true his tracks have been pretty we'll covered for process servers from the distriCt-attorney's office have been un- a ole to find him.
 One fact that came out yesterday had an amusing side to it, that is amusing to all but the Warren Broth CTS. It seems that after John M. Mur- phy got his commissions of $13,000 from the Boston firm and handed over S2,OO0 to the Democratic state chair man and S3,666 each to Gafney and Carroll there was 8 sudden cancella- ton of the contracts, a reletting of the work and awards to companies that did not use the Warren products.
 After Reel had been thrown out as state highways uperintendent, Hen messy, then Gov. Sulzer's chief investi- gator was browsing around iii Reels old office when he discovered that the work Of that Warrenite was to be used on covered something like twenty-two miles of roads in Long Island. The specifications for these jobs called for the use of ''cementitious Hudson River gravel foundation and Warrenite top.
 The cost of the work was put at s4EO.OO0. Hennessy, suspicious, got the contracts killed and new specifications prepared that did not call for Warren ite topping. The new contracts were let at a cost of s25O,OOO, a saving of S22O,OOo.T So the Warren brothers failed to get their moneys worth. Their agreement with John w. Mur- phy had been to pay him the com mission of 12 F cents a square yard as soon as the specifications calling for Warrenite, or other of the firms pat ent pavings, were authorized.

Planters Protective ASSOCia-

Elections.
COMMITTEEMAN CHOSEN
Organization Has Handled 30,-
600 HOgSheadS the
Present Year.

In all of the counties in Kentucky
and Tennessee embraced in the Black
Patch. the members of the Planters
Protective Association have met at
their respective voting precincts and
elected one committeeman to repre-
sent that precinct on the county
committee. Next Saturday these

ganize by electing a chairman, vice
chairman, secretary and treasurer
and other officers.
The county chairmen so elected
compose the district board of direct
ors, which will meet soon for the
purpose of electing officers for the
association from president on dowr
There are a number of these offices
and this election is an important
affair.
The association has not been large
in this county, but has done very
prosperous business this season else
where. having handled upwards OF
10000 hogsheads of tobacco. Tn,
season is now about over and ar.

Entertainment For All Visitors
Will Be Provided
For.
SIXTY HORSES ON HAND.
All Stalls Already Taken,
Others Are to Be
Built.

The directors of the PennyroyaI
Fair, which begins Oct. 7 and lasts
through the week, day and night,
are very busy getting rything in
readiness for the opening day.
There are now 60 horses on the
grounds and the Secretary of the
company said yesterday that every
stall has already been sold. This
necessitates the building of more
stalls and the directors will at once
begin their construction.
A gentleman who was in Ovens
bOro a few days since said that he
was told that all the fine horses that
will be shown at the Greensboro fair
will be brought here for exhibition
and that those who handle them and
the owners will number a least $50
persons who will be here during the
entire week, to say nothing of1hose
who will come to see the best fair in
this end of the state.
There is one thing about the great
event that should not be forgotten
by our people. The thousands that
will come will have to be fed and
furnished with sleeping apartments.
The hotels and boarding houses can
take care of but a very smbll per
cent. of the visitors, hence it will
devolve upon housekeapers having
room to spare to throw open their
doors to them.
But nobody contemplating visiting
here during the fair need have any
apprehension on this point. import
ant as it is. The directors have not
overlooked this, and have arranged
with the McReynolds brothers to Sc
cure list of our citizens who will
rent sleeping apartments to the Wis
itors, and when they arrive they
should apply to the directors or at
the office of the Giant Insurance
Agency. The secretary says that
everybody from a distance will be
taken care of.
hopkinsville hospitality is pro-
verbal and the city is always able TO
measure up to the necessity of every
occasion and the fair of 1918 will not
be an exception.

Frankfort, KY, Sept. S.-The as

Kentucky remains the same as il
was last year. The Railroad Com
mission adjourned Friday after a
hearing on the assessments lasting
two days. The only increases will
be improvements made since the

who favored a large increase in the
assessment Of the physical property

ing it again and Commissioners w.
F. Klair and Green Garrett reaf.
tirmed their reasons tor leaving the
assessment as it was before.
The effect of this action will be to
increase the franchise assessments

P ark Committees Report Is
Submitted Showing Set
tlement.
SUIT IS TO BE BROUGHT
To Correct Hauling Settlement
on Tenth Street Sewer
Last Year.

The Council held a busy session
Friday night with all present.
The report of the Park Committee
was submitted, signed by all of the
members. 1t shows final settlement
with M. E. Boales. who superintend-
ed the improvements at Virginia
Park. Under this settlement Mr..
Boales has refunded to the city the
sum of 1924 Sc for overcharges, as
follows: Labor, S1S6 Sc. rent Of
tools, $3.50; lumber bought, so
sacks lost. etc, $3.50; deducted
from wages Of superintendent. $87.
This left the tosal cost of the work
OF the grounds. 81, ,764.61, of which
81 305 was for the concrete walks
measuring 8 700 feet, and costing Is
cents per foot.
So far The pavilion has cost SO, 300
and about $225 is yet to be added for
the tile roof. Filling in the gaps of
the iron fencing, which had to be
made to order and cost 1881, and the
placing Of some electric signs over
the gates and replanting the shrub
berry according to landscaping plans
is all that will be done this year. the
balance of the improvements going
over to next spring.
Mayor Meacham also re-submit-
ted his report of last May calling for
the correction of hauling charges of
Woodbridge & Co., for excavation
from the Tenth street sewer. On
the further report that efforts to ad-
just the matter out of court h d
failed the council instructed the city
attorney to bring suit to recover
the amount claimed to have been
overpaid. In the mayors report it
was claimed that the rate per yard
was 25c or total of $214.50 for 858
yards instead of 2015 yards. The
amount paid was s5OS.75, or a differ
ence claimed by the city of $3.50 25.
Mayor Meacham stated in his report
that Woodbridge & Co. claimed to
have traded with Councilman Harmed
at 40c per yard, which, if correct,
would allow a credit but still leave
Sl60 due. This higher rate is not
admitted, as the bills were all made
out at 25 cents.
AT the mayors suggestion Coun-
cilmen Bradley and Metcalfe were
appointed a cUmmittee to investigate
the West Kentucky Orphans Home.
to determine whether the appropri-
alton of $25 a month should be con-
tinued.

from Waller & Brodie at cost of
$14O.
