Time For A Change.


though held to by many good
democrats. The fact is that to
put good men in certain Offices,
say that of congressman, and
keep them there is good politics
and good policy and good demo-
cracy. But this does not mean
and never did mean that a man
once elected to an Office should
get stranglehold on it 10 the
exclusion of posslaly better men.
All this is in reference to the
pending congressional campaign
IN the First District. Mr.. Can
dler has been CONGRESSMAN now
for about fourteen years. His
friends say that he has made an
excellent congressman, and it is
not necessary TO the purpose OF
this article to gainsay it. But it
must be admitted that he has
shed no particular distinction on
his district or any particular
honor to his constituents. With
seven terms in congress-four-
teen years of what his followers
call faithful and diligent service
to his country, his district and
his party, he has never attained
the honor and dignity of the in
fuence of a craftsmanship of any
committee. even small and un-
important one. New men have
come in and passed him in their
rise. Old men have risen faster.
With the prestlge of long service
ard of ofrepresenting the fine old
counties comprising the First
District, MIR. Gambler has never
gotten beyond the position of
high private in the rear ranks.
There is no desire here to hu-
initiate Mr.. Gambler, to taunt
him with inefficiency in legisla-
tive ability and mediocrity in
talent TO rise to positions of
power. But when he comes be-
fore our people again to solicit
their support. it IS but eight that
he give an account of his steward
ship and to have his record of
achievement and accomplishment
rigidly reviewed and fairly
criticised and to have his quail.
fcations, as disclosed by his past
performance, compared with
those of his opponent.
Mr.. Brooks is a comparatively
young man but his record though
short, indicates great power to
rise. In his one term session In
the Mississippi house Of repre-.
sentatives, he distinctly made
his mark, and was then-eight
years ago-looked on as man
to be reckoned with thereafter in
Mississippi politics. A few
years later he was appointed
district attorney for the new
judicial district. So well did he
administer the duties of the Office
that at the election held a year
later no one dared oppose him,
and it is an open fact that If he
would announce for reelection
he would have no opposition for
the next term. And this, too,
when he has been vigorous in. his
enforcement of the law. One
reason for his popular strength
is that he has never allowed
s'prominent citizens. ''influen-
tial men" or court house rings"
to dictate his course, but admin
istered the law impartially to
rich and poor, to the weak and
those with influence back Of
them.
From his career as a lawer
and officer one can safely believe

SELLS NICE FARM

Mr.. William H. Wyatt has
sold the Swetnam farm, lying
at the edge of the city limits,
near the Levee pike, and con-
tanning an old residence and
barn, to Curtis Jett, of Clark
county, for $500 per acre. The
farm contains 80 acres and
brought $4,000. Possession will
be given March 1st. Mr.. Jett
will move to the property and
run a truck garden and raise
tobacco. The land is very rich
and was cheap at the price at
which it was sold.

W. A. D'HAVEN
DIES SUNDAY
Had Been Ill For More Than a
Year, Finally Succumbs To
Dreaded Disease.

Hon. w. A. DeHaven, who
had been i'll for more than a
year with bright's disease died
early Sunday Morning, at his
residence on North Maysville
street.
Mr.. DeHaven was one of the
most highly respected citizens
in the city and deservedly so
being a man of the highest in
tegrity and honesty. He was
County Attorney for this county
several years ago and had been
County Surveyor and Rock
Measurer for many years. He
was a member of the Democrat
ic County Committee and a
most loyal party worker.
If an enemy he had in the
world, no one knew it. Always
affiable and kind, with a CHEEKY
greeting and a smile for his ac-
quaintances.
He was a member of the
Methodist Church and the clear
christian life he led and the ex.
ample he set will long be re-
membered in our community
Deceased was born August 8
1855. He was a member of the
local lodge of Elks and mem
Der of the Royal Arcanum lodge
Funeral services were held al
the Methodist Church Monday
afternoon at 2 o'clock conduct,
ed by Rev. T. w. Watts, of this
city, assisted by Rev. ]. w
Porter, of Lexin gton, with in,
terment in Machpelah cemetery
He is survived by his wife and
two sons, Kenney N. and Rus
sell DeHaven, and many other
relatives. To the sorrowine
family we extend our deepest
sympathy in their hour of attic
ton and sorrow.

NEW PICTURE SHOW

Mr.. N. A. Wilkerson, manag-
er of the Tabb Theatre in this
city, has leased large room on
South Maysville street, formerly
occupied by DR.. c. w. Harris
from Chenault & Orear, and will
at once begin the work of re-
modelling the building for the
purpose of opening a 5 cent
moving picture show. The bus
mess of the Tabb has grown to
such an extent that another
house was necessary and man
ager Wilkerson decided to open
a new playhouse altogether diff
ferent from the Tabb and has
offered $40 for an appropriate
name for same.

GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP
Recommended by Postmaster
General Burleson in His Re-
port to Senate

Government monopolization
of telegraph, telephone and
wireless communication "and
such other means for the trans
mission of intelligence as may
hereafter develop" is recon-
mended in a report submitted tc
the Senate by Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson.
Immediate Government own
ership of telephone lines is rec
commended with a system OF
license for the other agencies Of
communication, establishing a
Government monopoly even
where there is no actual own
ership.
The report is that made tc
the Postmaster General by q
special committee appointed by
him and was transmitted to the
Senate in response to a resolu,
ton asking that he make an in,
vestigation of the subject as al
exten sion of the postal service

FINE STOCK DYING

Many valuable horses have
died in this county within the
past week, causing heavy losses,
presumably from catarrhal trou-
bic. The State Veterinary was
here looking into the situation,
and it is said gave it out that
the trouble was brought about
by feed the animals had eaten,
which had become spoiled. A
number of high-bred saddle
mares and brood mares are
among the horses that died.

our NOMINEE
is ENDORSED
BY Prominent Minister in Ring,
ing Address at Local
Church.

The Rev. DIR. A. H. Hibsh-
man, the popular pastor of the
local Presbyterian Church, at
prayer meeting, Wednesday ev-
ening last, denounced, in no un-
certain terms, the effort of GER
tain persons, under the guise of
temperance, to induce the voters
of the Ninetieth Legislative Dis
trict, to vote for comparatively
unknown quantity, for Repre-
sentative in the General Assem-
bly, of Kentucky, in preference
to Hon. John A. Judy, the reg
ular Democratic nominee, of this
city.
The Rev. Hibshman paid Mr..
Judy glowing tribute as COM
petent lawyer, a clean christian
gentleman and a man in every
way worthy of public confidence
and support. He heartily en-
dorsed Mr.. Judy as a man NOR
ally and Intellectually fit for
public service and urged every
voter who has the interests of
his district and state at heart,
to vote and work for him.
It has been often said that
the temperance people, as a
class are most gullible, but we
believe the time has arrived
when the thinking temperance
people will no longer permit the
temperance question to be made
the football of political expe-
diency in every campaign.
The words of the distinguish
ed divine caused quite a sensa-
ton and made a profound i'm
preston on his auditors.

THE LOCAL
TOBACCO MARKET

The loose leaf market in this
city was quite active during the
past week and over 100000 lbs.
were sold. The quality of the
offerings was very inferior,
probably the worst since the
market opened. Grade prices
have been higher all down the
line, quality considered, than
at any time during the selling
season. The business done by
the Farmers House has been
heavy, the week winding this
house up with a total sold since
the opening of 4,o36,o15 pounds
for a total of $5o4ooo.o4, an
average of $I2.o4 per hundred
Considering the quality of the
offerings these sales have been
as good as any held at any mar
ket this season. The Burnley
House has sold approximately
100000, making the two houses
landings during the season ap-
proximately 5,63o,oI5 pounds,
and the weed is still coming in
at both houses. From the pre-
ksent outlook it is believed the
market will handle right at T.
ooo,o 900 pounds.
Buyers and sellers have both
been satisfied with the market,
and last week there were few re-
jections at either house. The
rush at this market seems to
be over, but there is enough
tobacco to run several weeks
longer. It is probable the mar
kets will close here March 1st.
Already there is extensive pre-
parations for the growing of the
crop this year and it is easily
ascertained that there will be an
increased acreage grown. In
this county the past season there
was larger yield of tobacco
by one-third than was expected.
With this situation staring the
growers in the face in Mont
gomery county, it looks like a
very grave mistake for them to
attempt an increased acreage.

Young, possession March Ist,
