BIG TURKEY CROP
Dry Summer Was Favorable to
The American Bird.

Paducah poultry men say that the
turkey crop in McCracken county is
unprecedented in quantity. Owing
to the dry summer, it is expected
that the crop in Christian county is
very large as, like quail, the usual
number was not drowned 'in in
fancy" Thanksgiving turkey S,
though, will not be enjoyed by ev
erybody, as the demands of the larg-
err cities keep the price so high that
the ordinary man cannot afford the
luxury of turkey dressed with oys-
tiers. The turkey business has not
opened up yet, but the gobbler will
be heard from about the first of
November. Chickens seem to be
high, owing doubtless, to
the fact that raisers are holding them
for the shippers to the big cities.

No Organs Removed But Alb

Treated.

Chicago, Oct. a. Four patients
were operated on by DR.. E. H. Pratt
of Evanston, in an effort to eliminate
criminal tendencies and moral def
ciencies. The operations were per.
formed at the instance of Judge
George W. Bridgman, of the circuit
court, of st Joseph, Mich, who has
announced that hereafter he will
not sentence any one convicted in
his court of moral crimes to penHeen-
taries or insane asylums until the
knife has had an opportunity to re
generate the mind effected.
For obvious reasons the names o.
the persons upon whom the opera
lions are performed will be withheld
DR.. Pratt, in discussing the subject
recently with Judge Bridgman, sale
that the operations would not de
stroy any organ of function of thu
mind or body, but merely would re
move abnormal conditions affecting
nerve centers.

Load OF Tobacco On Stalk
Delivered Friday Morn

LOOSE FLOORS ARE READY.
Farmers Are Expecting Good
Prices Throughout
1914.

AS stated in our issue of Tuesday
the loose floor warehouses are get
ting ready for the tobacco deliver

Cannon, came near slipping up on
them when he arrived here Thurs
day night with load of the weed
to be stripped and sold on the open
ing day. The tobacco was unloaded
at the house Of j. P. Thompson &
Co, and the shippers went to work
with will and it will be in good or
der today. 1t will doubtless be the
first tobacco offered to the buyers
on opening day.
Some of the farmers commenced
to strip the tobacco the middle of
the week but the majority will let
this spell pass and get busy when
the next damp season comes, which

bacco a chance to run" before be-
ing handled
The farmers this year are expect
ing good prices to rule through the
entire season. They all know the
crop is short, the quality beyond the
average and there is no reason to
believe that the 1913 IA demand will
be lighter than the preceding year
probably heavier
The facilities for storing the crop
for the approaching season are bet
ter than last, and there are five
loose floor houses against four last
season.
The difficulty between the In'Yer-
ial Tobacco Co. and Henderson coun-
ty may cause the company to stop
business there and if it does, it is
hard to predict how great the adj
vantages to the Hopkinsville market
will be.

To Settle TIL Question OF
Building The Library In
Peace Park.
TO BE TAKEN UP AT ONCE
All interests Involved To Bring
A Test Case On The
Agreed Facts.

The Park Commission held a meet
ing yesterday morning and author
lied the bringing of a suit to enjoin
the erection of a library building on
Peace Park.
The City of Hopkinsville, the Pub
lie Library Board and the Forbes
Mfg Co., the contractors, are all
made defendants jointly. President
Jarrett, of the Park Commission,
was instructed to employ counsel and
he has retained Judge Thos. P Cook.
The plan is to let the suit be an
agreed case and get decision at
once on the vital facts sought to be
decided. President Rives, Of the Ii
brary Board, Judge Bush, for the
contractors, and City Attorney South
all for the city will assist in the pre-
paration of the suit. Judge Han
berry will be asked to pass upon it at
once and let the case be taken inn
mediately to the Court of Appeals.
The contractors are unwilling to
begin the work until all possible
doubts are removed. The suit is not
inspired by any real opposition, but
is merely the legal way of getting
the question passed upon.

0. G. SPROUSE co.
Will Discontinue Business At
Springfield and Move Here.

The following, from the Spring
field, (Tenn., } News, shows the high
esteem in which Col. Sprouse is held.
Whilst the News expresses its regret
at losing such progressive business
man, our people will join us in saying
that their loss is our gain"
The many friends of the o. G..
Sprouse Co. store at this place will
regret to learn that they are going
to suspend business at this place.
This is the home of the o. G.
Sprouse Company, in fact this is the
place where o. G. started in business
on a small scale about sixteen years
ago and his many friends here helped
to build the mammoth business which
he has enjoyed for several years.
Col. Sprouse was in Springfield for
a few hours Sunday and in converse
ton with a News man he stated that
business at his Hopkinsville store
had increased to such an extent that
it required all of his time and atten-
ton and for that reason he would
suspend business here December l.
The Sprouse Company has enjoyed
large trade here and they have
many friends who will be lost when
they come to Springfield. This an
nouncement on the part of this popu-
lar firm to quit business will cause
universal regret in Robertson county.

Democratic Speakers Make Ser
iOus Charges Against The
Republican Managers.
AT RALLY THURSDAY NIGHT.
Republicans Are Thrown Upon
The Defensive All Along
The Line.

The Democratic candidates on the
stump have been firing the woods
damp as they are literally all this
week. A number of county appoint
ments have been filled and every
where good crowds have attended
and keen interest has been shown
All signs point to decisive victory.
The Republicans have practically
abandoned any attempt to secure the
fiscal court, having candidates for
magistrate in only four of the eight
districts. They are taking no inter-
est in the city election and all of the
Democratic nominees are sure to be
elected. With the Council and Fiscal
Court assured. the Democrats are
turning all of their attention to the
county offices. Judge knight, Ira
Smith, Prof. Foster, Jewell Smith,
Lucian Harris and other nominees
are closing the campaign with blaze
of enthusiasm that can only spell
victory. Impetus was given to the
contest Thursday night by a big
rally, at which young Jim Breathitt
presided and started the fun.
John C. Duffy spoke first and his
speech was vigorous reply in detail
to the charges made by Republican
orators. In turn he made o m e
charges against the Republican can
didates. Bob Cook was accused of
being a tax dodger. John M. Rem
shaw was accused of having "sold
out" to L. r. Davis in former race
and to have profited by a theft of the
sheriff's office when Dave Smith was
removed. He closed by praising
! Judge Knights record in putting
immoral houses out of business and
attention was called to the unknown
views of his opponent on this great
moral question.
Ira Smith was next introduced and
sprung a sensation by charging that
Judge w. T. Fowler had tried to
make a deal for division of the
County Clerks office, L. E. Fowler
and his Democratic opponent, Lucian
Harris, to share the Office. no
matter VII ic h was elected, Vigo
Barnes to be the deputy. Mr.. Barnes
backed up the charge, stating that
the same proposition had been made
by Judge Fowler to his father, Geo.
w Barnes.
The new issue brought into the
campaign created a profound sensa-
ton and has put the Republicans on
the defensive more than ever, since
Judge Fowler is one Of the leading
men of his party. The exposure is
liable to make absolutely certain the
election of Lucian Harris and great
ly strengthen the whole ticket.

Simmons tariff law was carried away
TO the department of the state and
deposited in the archives along with
other historic pieces of legislation.
The speed with which congress dis
posed of the last work of the tariff
bill and sent the measure TO the white
house demonstrated the anxiety of
house and senate to get through with
the burden that had held them in con-
tinuous session since April.
Germany will be the first nation
to take advantage of that section of
the new tariff act which provides for
the negotiation of reciprocity ar
rangements embodying mutual con-
cessions in customs taxes. Already
the initial steps have been taken to
secure such an arrangement.
