AUSPICIOUS
OPENING
OF The Tobacco Market Tues
day With Heavy
Offerings.
BUYERS ARE OUT in FORCE.
Sales Will Continue From Day
to Day Except on
Saturdays.
BUYERS ARE OUT in FORCE.

The loose floor tobacco market
was opened auspiciously Tuesday
with so much tobacco on hand that
only two of the six houses could sell
the first day. Sales began in the fol-
lowing order: r. f. & w. ID. Coop
err, Hancock Warehouse Co j. p.
Thompson & Co, Hugh West, M. H.
Tandy & Co. and Butler & Jackson.
Only the first two named houses
sold Tuesday and the others sold yes
terday in the order named and sales
will proceed from day to day, except
ing Saturday.
1t is estimated tat the opening
sales will aggregate $4,000 pounds,
nearly all Of it lower grades and
much of it in poor order, Some of it
was very high" being almost wet.
The prices were hard to judge,
but it is conceded that they are low
er than last season. This decrease is
attributed in part to the condition of
the tobacco and it is confidently
expected that as things settle down
and the tobacco is brought in better
handled that prices will advance ma.
terially.
The buyers were nearly all on hand,
including Norman Mellon of George

w. M. Hancock & Norman Smith Of
the American Snuff Co.. M. C. Boyd
& Co.. w. w Bradley. w. A. Wilson

but made no purchases the first day
Prices ranged from SIS for trash
to $40 for leaf.
The city was filled with tobacco
growers who brought in the first
loads to get Christmas money anc
the effects are already being felt by
the merchants. Some tobacco came
80 or 40 miles and from now on the
market will continue to draw crowds
of farmers to the city, taxing the
boarding houses and livery stables
to their full capacity.
Hopkinsvllle has taken on its &C
customed air of business and activity
for when the tobacco business put'
money into circulation the talk Of
hard times will no longer be hearC
in the city.

At the end of this discussion
Councilman Woodbridge moved that
the tobacco section be stricken out
entirely and his motion was seconded
by Mr.. Gee. At this juncture the
Council, accompanied by the city at
torney, retired to a private room
and returned in about fifteen min
utes and the vote was taken. Wool
bridge, Gee and Smith voted to
strike out and Quicker, Southall,
Carloss and Russell voted no. Mr..
Woodbridge then left, and further
consideration was given with only
six present. On the final passage
the vote stood five to one, Smith
voting with the four who defeated
the effort to strike out. Mr.. Gee
voted no and Mr.. Woodbridge was
absent.

Violent Attack South Of Yes May Mean Renewal of General
Advance Against French and British Troops Along
Channel Coast and in Belgium

London, Dec. 9.-The great battle
for possession of Poland continues.
The front extends along three hum
bred miles and victory over a part of
it, at least, appears to have fallen to
the Germans, while the Russians are
pressing on Cracow in the south
That LODI is in the possession of
the Germans seems undoubted and
a Russian official report just issued
apparently is preparing the public
for the news by referring to the diff
ficulty of defending the city, which
gives to the Russian front an abnor-
NAL contour, and forecasts a re-
forming of the line.
Details of these mighty battles yet
have to be written. The general fact
that there has been fearful slaught-
err and intense suffering from the
cold comprises about the total of the
information received.
The Germans claim they are pur-
suing the Russians south and south
east of LODI. Several American cor
respondents were with the Russian
army when the battle broke. but
nothing has been heard from them
for several days. Evidently they
are under the hand of a strict Gen.
sorship.

three quarters of the best material

sist principally of second line organ
izations.
The French official report last
night announced that the Germans
have made violent attack on the
allies at st. Eloy, south of Ypres,
which was repulsed. This may
mean renewal of the German at
tempt to batter through the allied
lines which the correspondents pre-
dict from the movements of the
Germans in Belgium. Elsewhere in
the west there have been only local
engagements.
Austrian and Servian reports con-
tinue to claim success for their re-
spective sides. Servia reports vic
tory on the northeast front with
nearly 1000 prisoners. Vienna says
the Austrian advance south of Bel
grade is progressing.
Apart from the battlefelds, the
officially announced illness of the
German emperor in Berlin, from
bronchial catarrh, with fever, is the
most interesting news of the day.
The emperor's prolonged activity
and recent reports of his appearance

TOBACCO TAX REMAINS.
Ordinance Passed After Tear
ing The Proposed One To
Pieces.

The Council met Monday night in
adjourned session to give the new
license ordinance its second passage
and it was taken up after other busi-
ness had been disposed of. A dele
cation of rs or 100 business men
were crowded into the Council cham
Der to protest against the tobacco
tax and other measures and
it became evident early that the
ordinance would not be passed as it
had passed before. In fact its con-
sideration was taken up anew, Sec
tion by section, and in the end its
own father would not have known
it.
The 81 license on barber shop
chairs, So on bathrooms. $40 on
candy factories, $25 on building and
loan associations, $40 on butcher
shops and licenses on boarding
houses were stricken out. The in
creases on picture shows, restau-
rants and soda founts were taken
off and only slight increases left on
cigarette dealers piano dealers, and
photographers. About the only
new licenses were $40 on automo-
biles and So on delivery wagons.
By the time the tobacco section was
reached it had narrowed down to a
fight for additional revenue on to-
bacco almost alone. The business
men had been kept waiting fol
hours, but were given hearing a
last. The resolutions adopted a
the mass meeting were presented b!
Geo. E. Gary and speeches were
made by John H Bell, E. B. Bassett
E. M. Flack, c. R. Clark, j. T
Wall, r. Z. Cooper, B. B. Rice. N
l.. Elb, and f. w. Dabney. all making
strong speeches in support Of
the contention that no licenses OF
any kind be placed on tobacco
though some of the tobacco mer
expressed a willingness to pay {
privilege tax if levied upon them a
business men. Many reasons were
given why the license tax would bt
unwise at this time. 1t would bt
resented by the tobacco growers
would be seized upon by rival mar
kets to divert trade from the city
+ would lessen the business in the city
throwing many needy people out o.
employment, and would in many
ways have a demoralizing and dis
couraging effect on the market
Above all it would violate the princi
pie of free trade in tobacco fol-
which Hopkinsville has always
stood. 1t was an attack upon the
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1914-12-10

A Matter Of Principle.

The four gentlemen of the city
Council who have gone on record as
favoring a license tax on tobacco
sold to local dealers have arrayed
themselves against the business in
terests of the city in manner that
has aroused much feeling. The to-
bacco that comes into Hopkinsville
from a dozen surrounding counties.
much of it from Tennessee, has been
,attracted here because Hopkinsville
has been the one open market that
has never quit business and the to-
bacco trade of the city has never
been taxed in any manner or form.
New houses have been exempted
from taxation for five years and only
taxed on their real estate after that
period. Such tobacco as sin the hands
of spectators on April LIST, is Of
course subject to taxation as person
al property, but so intent have the
people of Hopkinsyille been to en-
courage the tobacco industry in every
possible way, that no attempt has
ever been made to even tax tobacco
on hand at the taxing period. Ger
tainly there can be no excuse for
levying a license tax on imported to-
bacco in transit, to be worked up and
shipped long before the taxing period
arrives next spring. 1t was espe-
cially unfortunate that this attempt
should have been made on the very
eve of the opening for the most try
ing year the market has had for
seven years. An astounding fact Is
that some of the very men now vot-
ing as officials to tax the tobacco
trade were a few years ago risking
their lives and patroling the streets
at night with guns in their hands to
keep the market open. They were
good and patriotic citizens then and
they are the same today. They have
simply been misled or coerced into
making blunder that the people Of
Hopkinsville will not be held respon.
sible for. The talk of passing an
obnoxious ordinance and arousing
antagonism all over the country and
then suspending its operations is the
merest rot. If the ordinance is once
legally passed its suspension is i'm
possible except by the neglect of the
sworn duty of officers required by
law to enforce it. The Council will
have nothing further to do with II
except to amend or repeal it. Ii il
be true that one of the Councilmer
voting for the Objectionable meas
ure now sees his mistake, let the
four Councilmen opposed to the tax
request the mayor to call meeting
and do the manly thing by repeating
the section that lays an embargo or
the city's commerce. Hopkinsville
owes its prosperity to tobacco. 1t i:
the geographical hub of the Black
Patch and the people are desperately
in earnest in the demand that
tobacco must not be handicapped by
unfriendly ordinances. There is nc
more reason for taxing every hogs
head of tobacco received on the loca
market than there is for taxing every
bushel of potatoes or wheat, oil
every barrel of corn or apples that
is shipped into the city. The ordi-
nance passed Monday night is moi
the same one given its first passage
Friday night, the many changes de-
stroying its identity. Let the Coun'
ell see that the amended ordinance
never gets its second passage and the
people will applaud the present anc
for0af the mast
