BIG TOBACCO SALE
MADE IN PADUCAH.

Paducah, KY, July 31.-The
biggest tobacco sale Of the present
season was closed yesterday when
M. M. Tucker, western sales
agent for the Planters Protective
association closed a deal where
by 500 hogsheads of tobacco, Tugs
and common leaf, were sold to a
prominent foreign buyer. Two
hundred and fifty Of the hogs
heads were from the peoples
warehouse company, under the
management OF W. R. Nagel.
The sale OF yesterday constituted
the entire holdings of Tugs and
common leaf of the association,
and clears up the association mar
ket for the weed, of this charac-
ter.
A prominent official of the
Planters Protective association,
when asked about the coming
1915 crop, replied that indications
are for the largest of crop black
patch tobacco in his district in the
last ten years.
The crop will be fully twenty
five per cent above normal" he
continued should present wealth
er conditions remain unchanged. +"
The approaching bupRsIGrop
and the unsettled conditions of
commercial activity in Europe are
special reasons why, all of the
farmers in West Kentucky and
Tennessee should join the Plant
ers' Protective association" con-
tinued the official. "The coming
big crop will naturally make for
smaller prices, but if the farmers
and growers of the district ioin
the association their joint strength
will compel buyers to pay good
grices for the weed. The farmer
himself will not have the in
dividual power to secure equitable
prices for his weed, and for this
reason should affiliate with the
association and secure the proper
price for his product"

Bold Attempt to Break Jail.

On Sunday, Deputy Sheriff Eg-
bert Bullock's supicions were
aroused by the su spicious conduct
Of some Of the prisoners in the
jail, and be decided to make a
sweeping investiso dion to deter
mine what be coulS NSpearth. Be-
ginning at the first G4N in the cage,
he searched all through. From
there he went to the next cell, to
the next an on until he came to a
cell occupied by Tom Mullins
where he fQrnd three OF the long
est fles ever seen in this locality,
they being nearly two feet in
length. Further search disclosed
the fact that one Of the lower bars
in the cage had been cut with the
files and soap used to hide the cut.
With the cutting OF another bar
all the prisoners could easily have
made their escape, since it would
be but a matter Of an hour to pick
a hole through the brick wall, as
was done during the incarceration
Of the nightriders, and then all
could have gope'to their liberty.
Sheriff LaFon has issued orders
that no more visitors be allowed
in the Jail. He is convinced these
long files were carried into the Jail
by some friend Of some Of the
prisoners, and he is determined to
use every precaution to prevent a
Jail delivery.

To Build Sand Clay Road.

Mr.. Eastman, the government
civil engineer who has rendered
invaluable service all through this
county in the construction OF the
east and west county highway, will,
on Saturday, Aug. 7, which is to-
morrow, build a sample of sand
clay road through the terrible
bar north Of 81 Ford's residence,
three miles out on the Palmers-
ville-Dresden road, where he will
be met by one hundred interested
citizens and their teams, equip
ment, etc. This will be a splendid
opportunity for those interested in
bettering the condition for travel
OF the many sandy places in this
county to come and witness the
building OF this quarter mile OF
sand-clay road, which will be done
by an expert and a man who is
happiest when road building-a
man who has his heart thoroughly
in the wOrk-hot weather or cold.
Mr.. Eastman has been induced by
Mr.: Garrett, through the solicita.
ton Of Mr.. John Yves Smith, tc
build this piece of sand-clay road
Dinner will be served to all who
work.

The FORTY-FOOT Highway

derstand all had plenty Of both.
AFTER Adams had thirty-nine
hands and six teams. John Tenn
pleton, who did excellent work on
the big hill, had a good crew Of
willing workers, as did also Ed
Fuller, another man very much
interested in better roads, as is
shown by the splendid forty-foot
road leading by his farm. Work
was done all the way to the Obion
county line on the west and to
the Carroll county line on the
east, excepting the two sections
from the Bragg hill to the river,
this being declared off until today,
friday on account OF the burial
Of Coy Duke; but from the Bragg
hill back west Bob Overton, Dick
Bragg and Uncles Dick jackson
and Noah Garrett, with their
respective crews, did some Of the
best work done on the entire road
chat day.
Now, gentlemen, let's see that
this highway is kept in passable
condition, which can best be done
by the use Of the drag and the
push.billy, the latter to keep the
bitches cleaned out.
Gleason sent out a big crew Of
hands, business being suspended
for the day, and the merchants
going out to build the road.
Every business house in Martin
was CLOSED, except the drug
stores, Even the Martin post
office was closed and Postmaster
Carl Bowden and his assistants
and carriers put in a hard days
work. Martins colored popula-
ton, however, did not turn out
like Dresden's, as none Of our
colored people were employed to
work, all going out from here
with their white friends. Martin
sent out hundreds Of boxes of
dinner to the hands, and on both
sides Of Martin there was plenty
to eat, while the ice factory at
Martin donated free ice, which
was carried out to the several
crews in autos. Besides all this,
Martin contributed $500 in money
for the work, this being legitimate
ly used in the purchase of dyna-
mite and preliminary work, which
had to be done. Martin citizens
proved loyal to the great enter
prise, as they do everything look.
ing to the welfare of her citizens
and those how patronize the town.
