AN UNUSUAL SACRIFICE.

The members of the Little Rock
vote, taken after the conclusion of
the services at the church Sunday
agreed to donate the money they
would spend otherwise to the allevia-
ton of the sufferings of the afflicted
and famine-stricken people Of Bel
GUM.
The suggestion, which was first
preached by Mr.. l.. A. Soper, Superin-
tendent of the Sunday school, met
with an immediate and eager response
from all the members of the church,
and the sum of $50 was promised,
which will likely be doubled. This
money will be spent among the mer-
chants of Little Rock, for shoes, hoods
and clothing of various descriptions.
The goods when ready for delivery
will be packed and brought to Paris,
where it will be taken in charge by
the Relief Committee and sent to Lex
ington, from where it will go to the
East as part of the big donation to be
sent from there to the sufferers.
A committee composed of Mrs. Ed
sell Clarke, B. F. Hopkins and Rev
Carl Agee was appointed to take
charge of the fund and to attend to
it's proper distribution.
This is said to be the first instance
on record in the present campaign
where a whole school has taken such
an action, and it is likely to prove the
means of melting others to a similal
action in SO praiseworthy cause.

SENATOR CAMDEN WILL
NOT BE A CANDIDATE

Senator Johnson N Camden last
week shelved the presumption Of a
number of "dopesters' who were pre-
dieting that he was having meetings
with General Percy Haley and others
with a view to entering the guberna-
torial hunt in the near future when he
declared quite emphatically:
81 am not now candidate for Gov
ernOr and | shall not give the matter
of my becoming a candidate any con-
sideration until next March, after |
shall have performed my duties and
ended my services as United States
Senator"
Senator Camden feels that his Sen
atorial duties are enough at this time;
that he has no ambition to be Cover
nor, but that if he were shown that the
people of the State really and truly
want him as their chief executive he
might put aside his personal affairs
and desires and serve them four years
in appreciation of their having put
! him into the seat once occupied by
his father, which was the realization
Of his true ambition in the political
world

RAINS MAKE TOBACCO
MEN REJOICE GREATLY

AS a result of the rains which began
Saturday night and continued at in
tervals throughout Sunday and Mon
day good tobacco season is on, great
ly to the delight and the ultimate
profit of the tobacco raisers and handl-
ers of this county, who will soon be-
gin to get their product to the city in
readiness for the opening sales of the
Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse Com
pany.
WarehouSemen were in touch Sum
day with the growers throughout the
county and learned that the tobacco
was in case, and that the tobacco
that had already been stripped was be-
ing loaded for the market, and that
the unstripped tobacco was being
bulked down for immediate prepare
ton for the market, which opens at
the local house on next Saturday, De-
cember 5.
Sunday, usually day of rest on the
farm, was turned into a day of activ-
ity, and every available man who
could be persuaded, coaXed or cajoled
to foregO his regular vacation from
farm work, was pressed into service
shape for market. The rains were as
welcome as they are in the summer
season drouths, when the growing
crops are suffering for moisture.
Reports to the management of the
Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse state
that there has been less houseburn in
tobacco this season than was predict.
ed some time ago, while the percent
of green and frozen tobacco is less
than for several years.
Prices for tobacco which several
weeks ago looked discouraging, are
now much improved, the Louisville
market reporting an average on ten
hogsheads of over nine cents pei
pound.
The opening of the Bourbon county
market next Saturday will no doubt
| be attended by farmers and tobacco
growers from a number Of adjoining
counties, as well as by those from
this county The Paris market last
season was accounted one of the
strongest i'm the Blue Grass section
and compared very favOrably with the
markets at much larger centers OF
| trade.
The clerical force that will assist in
receiving and handling the local trade
has been made up, but not yet giver
out for publication. The auction
sales will be held by Auctioneer Oil
yer Clay, who conducted them so sue
cessfully last season.
With the rigid quarantine recently
placed on livestock shipments in OF
| from this county, with the resultant
loss of revenue to the livestock deal
ers of the county, it looks as il Tho
tobacco sales will have to play the
part of Saving grace" to the farmer!
of Bourbon county.
The Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse
was opened to-day for the reception o
tobacco, and several crops were re
ceived and stored. The house VIII b'
open all week for the purpose OF re
] ceiving tobacco. A full quota of buy
/ ers from the principal houses OF tn
country will be on hand at the opening
sale Saturday.
