MATT WINN Is POPULAR.
Racing Promoter Has Done Much to
Benefit the Sport.

NEW YORK. August s.-The Ameri-
can turf never had ii more popular or
better known racing official than Col.
Matt Winn of Louisville. KY. Col.
Winn's first active participation in turf
matters was in 1900, when he was ap-
pointed manager of the New Louis
willie Jockey Club. This old-time or
ganization had been conducted on OBJ
soletS lines, with the result that the
directors had a great financial burden
to bear.
Col. Winn Immediately put into. play
progressive ideas by tossing aside an
cient rules and regulations until he
whipped things into such shape that in
a few years he not only brought both
racing and financial success to Church
i'll Downs, but also attracted attention
to himself throughout the western
country. Today the New Louisville
Jockey Club is one of the foremost
racing organizations in the country.

HISTORY IN THE NINTH.

The chief objection urged against
lrvine's nomination at Bristol grew
out of, the fact, as asserted by his
enemies, that he had been defeated
mt one time for the State Senate, by
Noel, of Lee. The argument was that
h had made poor showing in that
campaign, when the facts proved that
he showed phenomenal strength and
accomplished results that astounded
his enemies and gratified his friends.
In order to show the condition under
which Irvine made his great race, we
have figures supplied by the Secretary
of the Commonwealth, giving Il vote
for Congress in the counties compris-
ing the Senatorial District, Lee, Scott
and Wise, the year before and the
year following tn Irvine-N Noel cam

WHAT THE GOVERNOR OF
NORTH CAROLINA SAYS:

For the information Of certain read
ers of this paper, who have evidently
been misinformcd as to the result of
Prohibition in North Carolina, the
following statement from the Cover
nor of that State follows:
"As to the effect of prohibition
upon the finances of North Carolina
l will say that the total revenues
from all sources during the year 1908,
the last year during which whiskye
was sold under license, were $2,866,
439.72. During the year 1913, the
last year under prohibition, the total
receipts from all sources were $4,297,
10000.
an 1908, the last year that whiskey
was sold, the average term of the
public school in North Carolinawas
barely four months. This year many
counties in the state will have full
six months term, and in some count
les it will be much more.
North Carolina has never known
in all her history period of pros
perity greater than that through
which she has passed since prohibi-
ton was adopted. Real estate in all
of the cities and larger towns has
greatly enhanced in value, and every
line of business has prospered."

FARMERS NOT COMPLAINING.

<,hh'thieo WI SONiI bilINlNN.
Only few disgruntled politicians,
with an appetite for pie are kicking
these days. The farmers are getting
top prices for everything they have
to sell. Every laboring man, from the
top to bottom, can get work in this
section if he wants work.
AS sample we give the latest quo
tations sent outfrom Lynchburg, show
market prices of farm products in
wholesale lots: Potatoes, 81 and $1.10
per bushel. Green apples, 50 and $3.50
per barrel; bacon shoulders, II and
l8 cents; hams, % and 20 cts; sides,
l8 and 10 cts; live young chickens,
40 and 80 cts; hens, same; fresh eggs,
lS and 20 cts; good butter, % and %
cts; wheat, 90 cts; corn, white, %;
mixed, SO; yellow, SO; white oats, 3D.
81; mixed oats, 51-53; feding oats,
45-48; hay $2l and $22 per ton; Vir-
ginia straw, $40 and Sill; calves, cat
tie and hogs are bringing almost any
price asked; wool, % and 81 ts;lambs
away up.
The farmer who is not content with
existing conditions would not be sat
isfied in heaven, perhaps, should he be
so lucky rs to get there
