Vardaman Near Fight.
Bitterness among Democratic sena-

again last night and before oil was
poured on the troubled waters Sena-
tor Vardaman of Mississippi and SEN
ator West of Georgia came near blows.
Apparently only the interference Of
Senator Ashurst and the presence OF
the sergeant-at-arms prevented phys
ical encounter. 1t all lasted less than
minute, but in that time the senator
livened up and displayed an interest
in things such as has not been evident
for weeks.
The trouble started after a bitter
exchange between Senator vardaman
and Senator James, who had vigor.
ously criticized the Mississippi sena-
tor and in turn had been told that he
was not stating the truth.
Enters a Protest.
When Senator Vardaman sat down
and Senator West took the floor and
also entered a protest against the re-
cent charge of Senator vardaman that
those who voted for the repeal bill
were guilty of treachery to the Dem
ocratic party. He referred to the
charge that the Carnegie foundation
had expended $4,000 to boost the re-
peal bill

senator, ''but what the shipping inter
ests have spent 100000 to defeat this
bill"
Have you been offered any?" asked
Senator Vardaman. AS he spoke, he
rose to his feet and started toward the
Georgia senator, who was only few
feet away.

Senator West, shaking his head and
lifting his arms. well" said Senator

only a few feet apart, but Senator

He laid his left arm across Senator
Vardaman's chest and extended his
right toward the Georgian, and tried
to pacify them, but they kept talking.

Onions Always
In Demand Here
Wholesale Dealers Want to Contract
For Next Years Crop of Po-
tat0 Onions.

1t is becoming more apparent every
year that the consumers of vege-
tables in the Blue Grass regions are
coming to depend more and more on
the eastern part of the State to
supply thir needs in this respect.
One crop that is always in good de-
mand everywhere is onions, and
dealers in Louisville and Lexington
are already trying to interest farm
ers in this section in this crop, and
are willing To- contract for next
years crop at the present time. A
few days ago Mr.. Joe Mountz was in
Lexington on business and while
there one Of the leading wholesale
produce men wanted him to contract
to supply him with a carload of po-
tato onions next year rs soon as the
crop would be harvested, and other
dealers have repeatedly asked far
mers from Powell county to increase
their onion crops.
Potato onions are one of the most
prolific and best paying crops that
can be raised and the soil and eli
mate here are admirably clapted for
them. They can be planted in No
vember. and with two civilizations
in the spring they are in fine shape
As soon as the tops die off. which is
usually in July, they are ready to
harvest, and the ground can then be
used for a crop Of late beans or corn
4 slight covering of fertilizer. put on
in the fall, protects the crop and en-
riches the ground for the later crops.
These onions are always in demand.
and the price is always good. Any
one that is interested in the subject
can get more complete information
from Mr.. Mountz who is always pre-
pared to contract for the crops at
price of not less than Is cents .tSer'
bushel, which will yield good returns.
Powell county land is admirably
suited for this crop. and it is TO be
hoped that the farmers vii take an
in it.
