Among the interesting public
data of things and events of the
past year, of a local nature, are
from the Police Court records for
the city. Among w. b. Amberg s
docket shows that in the year
1915 there were 300 arrests made
in the city for many and various
offences against the peace and
dignity of the State of Kentucky
and the City of Hickman. Out
of this total there were IL fortu-
mates found mot guilty" either
by jury or the court, two cases
nolle pressed for lack of evidence
with reasons filed. Among the
various offences, there is record
ed lS3 breaches of the peace, or
DRINKS, disorderly persons, and
public swearing; 80 We're charg-
ed and convicted of selling in
toxicating liquors-and yet they
ply their nefarious trade; gamb-
ling, -; firing deadly weapons
6; other offenses, such as failure
10 pay licenses, speeding, etc., l6.
Prosecuting Attorney r. r. Pow
ell expresses the opinion that at
least 6j per cent of these offences
spring indirectly out of the use of
"boose," and the Illegal traffic
in it.
There is unusual activity in the
scrap iron industry, brought on
by the activity in the war mum
tons manufacturing plants in the
United States. j. G. Newton, a
local dealer, says the demand is
heavy, and considerable quanti-

PECAN GROWING.

Lee Salmon, game and fish
sheriff of Fulton county, was
here during the holidays with a
wagon filled 10 the very blm
with pecans and sold them out
without any trouble, at 10 cents
per pound. Mr.. Salmon S father
has $500 acres in the river bottom,
in the overflowed districts, in pc
cans. There are 500 trees in
bearing and 1909 more that will
bear next year. The pecan bears
in its seventh year, the first crop
being generally about one peck.
The pecans, We note, are not near
so big and fine and thin'shelled
rs the pecans on the tree IN
Uncle Berry Green old place IN
Honbeak. The Green pecans
are the finest in the world. The
Hornbcak country could get big
rich raising them. Mr.. Salmon
says that if a pecan is planted in
January il will come up and bear
pecans in exactly seven years,
but that if the planting is defer
red two or three months or till
the following spring, the tree will
not produce pecans till the ninth
year.-Union City News-Banner.

STANLEY s MESSAGE.

Governor Stanley, in his mes.
sage to the Kentucky Legisla-
ture, referred 10 the large amount
OF outstanding State warrants,
drawing five per cent interest and
said there was no excuse for the
failure of the Legislature TO ex-
errise the most rigid economy in
the conduct of public affairs. He
urged resolution resistance 10
additional appropriations, declar-
ing that they were, without al
dltional taxation, out of the queS-
ton He urged the Legislature
TO refrain from employing EEK
ira help rs in the past, saying
that the constitution prohibited
this.

of next Tuesday Political observers are asking whether President Wilson will again be able 10 win the votes he drew away from the progressives and the republicans in their family quarrel. and wonder how tightly welded Is to be this years alliance Of the republic progressive party Campaign prophets are trying 10 figure what ef- feet President Wilson's foreign policies may have on German American and Irish American voters. and how the average man will regard the adminis- tration's Mexican policy. it's eight hour law, its wartime" prosperity, and the supposed necessity for a re- publican protective tariff when peace comes.

LITERARY D|CEST'S STRAW VOTE

 INDICATES HUGHES VICTORY

The Literary Digest has taken a per sonal straw vote" of 50000 of it's sub scribers who live in the Big Five" so- called doubtful states of New York, New Jersey. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois Having no preference for any of the parties and presenting the indication of all of them as they reached it from the readers of all political faiths, the Digest feels that it offers it's finds with the unique weight of strictest nom partisanship
 The results of this poll show that the sound common sense of the Ameri can people will be shown next Tues day and that the doubtful states cast a vote for Hughes and efficiency Of the straw vote the Literary Digest says:
 If we can catch the voters in the glare of the search light as they are shifting from one political camp to another, and count them. we can tell which camp will be found to have the heaviest battalions next Tuesday So we have shot a ray of light at five big doubtful" states where the paths from camp to camp are crowded with march CTS. coming and going, and have made count of those caught by it's momen- tary gleam. Whether this census of the shift of votes is a true index of the result. a few days will tell. We give it here for what it .s worth.

 Military observers point out that the Germans were forced to withdraw from Fort Vaux within eight days after Douaumont fell. whereas the French held Fort Vaux four months after the Germans had captured Douaumont. The same observers regard the Ger , man claim that they were preparing to withdraw to stronger lines before the battle of Douaumont as untenable un- less the Germans are ready to admit

 We come now to the straw vote" of our 30,000 subscribers in these five doubtful states. The 'grand total credits Hughes with 17,93S, Wilson with 10,646, Hanly with 6S2, and Ben son with 554.
