Montgomery jail u veritable haven

twenty years has been one which. if
known, would probably marvel the
most extraordinary stories contained
in the widest detective books.

Kelly brands the statements her

Of Jail in Florida in which he was
confined and the placing of the re-
sponsibility on him, as false and a
malicious attempt of the postoffice
officials to corral together evidence
to cause his chances of reformation

Kelly declares that he is not guilty
of half the charges which have been
preferred against him, and denies
vehemently ever having attempted to
burn Jail in Florida, after his es-
cape from the Montgomery Jail in
1892.
When Kelly was searched soon af-
ter his arrival here, small jag saw

Mr.. Tom Shaw Is Using Improved
Method Of Breaking Up Land as an
Experiment.
Mr.. Tom Shaw, one of the county's
largest and most progressive planters
has recently tried out the new method
or breaking up land with dynamite
He has selected an acre of ground
on the main road from here to Cold
Point and last week used the eXplo-
sives In holes about three feet deep
and about fifteen feet apart He will
plant this acre in corn and the three
adjoining acres, broken up Vim the
old way, he will also plant in corn al
so with the same amount of fertilizers.
In this way he is certain Of finding
out Just exactly what good results can
be gotten from the use of dynamite.
He expects to keep close tab on the
experiment and If 1t proves success
full will extend it next year.

JACKSONVILLE, Ky. Jan. %
Four hundred non-poolerse of
Hopkins county at the court
house agreed this afternoon unan-
imously to stand pat for eight
cents average for the 1912 crop
and took stand for a cut out
this year if the tobacco buyers
do not pay the price demanded.
A resolution was passed rec
commencing that the Stemming
District Tobacco Association and
the Farmers Union, the organi-
cations operating in the tobacco
belt. come to an agreement on
price and delivery and not COM
pete with each other. The reso-
luton stated that such action
would VI doubt .dly aid the far
mers in securing a fair price for
their product and the non poolers
at the meeting pledged them
selves to sign up with one or the
other of the two organizations in
event such an agreement was
signed by the two farmers or.
CARNATIONS.
A committee compose d Of Brad

Robert Quirey, as appointed
to solicit non-poolers to sign the
pledge Of the Stemming District
association and to hold these I'M
til the two organizations had
united on some sort of protection
on price and delivery in event of
which those signing the pledges
will become members of the as
ISOLATION. An organization was
formed TO canvass the county for
pledges of this nature and
prominent montpelier made the
predic tion that large majority
of non -poolers would sign it. Fiji
ty bumpers" signed it at the
meeting.
A number of strong talks were
made and it was the consensus
of opinion that every non pooler
should hold out for eight cents
and those present voted unani-
mously in favor of a resolution
to this effect, virtually binding.
