GOOD TOBACCO SEASON.

The weather could not have been
better for the rutting and housing OF
tobacco than it has been for the last
two weeks. With few exceptions
the tobacco has been large and heavy
and some of it is said to be the big
gest that was ever grown in this
county. A good part of . the crop
has been housed and the farmers
have worked hard to get it all in be-
fore the coming of the frosts. Some
of the tobacco has been cut TOO
green, but the growers say that they
would rather have it green than to
have it frosted. One prominent far-
mer, in speaking of the crop, said !:

for barn room" The crop is very

"THE MYSTERIOUS CLOCK"

Science and mystery are involved
in the construction of an advertising
novelty in the shape of 1.-The Mlste-
rious Clock" unique and wonderful
invention now on exhibition in the
show windows at l.. .Oberdorfer
drug store and the window at the
Fair Store.
The invention is a glass dial
clock. which runs without works,
vet keeps perfect time. The dial is
about twenty inches square and has
on its face the hours in Roman nu-
merals, hour and minute hands, from
one of which a small compass is sus-
pended by a wire. What appears to
be balance weights are attached to
the hands.
There is an entire absence OF cleo
trical connections of any sort, mag
nets. air or mercury attachments,
and the clock tells off the minutes
and hours with accuracy and without
any visible works, everything Deinv
in the open and visible to the eye:
The clocks were purchased Dy the
Fair and DIR. Oberdorfer as an ad-
vertising medium, and are attract
ing a great deal of attention. They
are subject to the closest scrutiny,
and no matter what your theory Is
in regard to what makes the wheels
90 round" you will find that the
clock keeps on going and the mys-
terry remains unsolved.

DAN PEED Talks TOBACCO.

Mr.. Dan w. Peed, the well-known
tobacco dealer and buyer of this
city, who has been making a tour of
the Burley tobacco belt in Kentucky,
after. making a careful investigation
declares that the Burley crop this
year will be fully equal to that of
have unusually large crops Off
setting those where the tobacco was
of the drOuth. He shid:
Bourbon, Fayette, Clark, Mont
gomery, Woodford, Scott and parts of
Nicholas, Harrison and Jessamine
have produced the largest crop of to.
bacco ever grown. Bourbon county
has its banner crop, crop that will
weigh out more than 100000
pounds.
"The increase in those counties
will meet the loss in Bath, Robertson
Pendleton, Bracken, Spencer, Ander-
son, and other districts caused by a
decreased acreage and poor stand,
and make the total production equal
to that of last year"
1.-THE weather." Mr.. Peed said "is
ideal for cutting and housing the crop
now, but the weather is always a
most important factor in the to-
tobacco business, and things could
change rapidly in less than week"
Gust now the country is face to
face with a tight money market due
to the European war. When the crop
comes to market the tobacco crop
this condition may change for the
better, for it can't get any worse
The manufacturers will want the to.
bacco as their supply treasured from
last year is due to run short before
another crop can be grown. 1t the
manufacturers encounter much diff
ficulty in negotiating their paper fol-
loans to move the crop, why then
the farmer must share in the policy
of carrying the crop. mean by
this that he must not run his entire
crop on the market but send in load
at a time"
Mr.. Peed was of the opinion that
the Government would come to the
aid of the tobacco growers, as it did
in the case of the cotton and wheat
growers, by placing at the disposal
of local banks throughout the Burley
district money with which to relieve
the situation. "Such a policy would
help the situation because If the
farmer didn't care to place his to
bacco on the market he could at
least borrow the money, pledging his
crop as collateral

NEGRO DISMISSED ON CHARGE
OF ILLEGAL REGISTRATION

A colored boy namel Jim Bayless,
who was arrested on special regis
tration day on the charge of illegal
registration, was arraigned yesterday
before Judge Mcmillan After hear
ing the evidence and the arguments
pro and con, the Judge dismissed the
case.
Attorneys John Williams and P. A.
Thompson represented the negro AMI
Attorney Vale H. Whitley prose-
cuted the case. County Attorney
George Batterton gave it as his opin-
ion that the negro had committed no
wrong, so City Attorney Wade Whit
ley was engaged by the "drys" to
prosecute the case.
The "drys' had the warrant sworn
out for the negro, claiming that he
had no right to register on the
grounds that he was in Jail on the
previous registration days and had
no right to register at the special
day set aside on September IS
for that purpose.
The Court held that the law was
as clear as it could possibly be in
stating that the qualified voter had
the right to register al the spelial
registration last Friday.
The Court gave a summary of the
reasons for allowing all qualified vo-
tiers to register for the coming cleo
ton and in conclusion said that the
only question that should have been
asked the voters who presented
themselves for registration was
whether he had been in the State,
County and Drecinct the reOuired
ength of time.
Chas. Clay, 'colored' man, was
tried Wednesday on a lunacy. charge
and was dismissed. Cay proved his
sanity by saying he tried to grab
the money on the ground when the
officers recently raided a crap game,
but that Smiley another negro,
beat him to it.
