TOBACCO THE
BASIS OF OUR
FAMILY ORIGIN
CONGRESSIONAL DISCUSSION DE-
VELOPS FACT THAT 1T WAS
CIRCULATED AND WAS AN
EQUIVALENT OF GOLD.


Washington, March 13-The great
American weed found defender in
the person of Representative Murray
during discussion in the house Of
representatives when tobacco got into
the argument Something was said
about internal revenue, leading up TO
Kentucky tobacco. ThereUpOn Mr..
Murray took the floor and spoke to
the issue.
'TC5aCCO has gone down the line
with the proeress Of ciflization1
said Nr. Murray. History tells us
that in the early days of this country
We used tobacco as money; it was
circulated and was the basis of mon
ey as gold is the basis today. History
also discloses that the preachers were
paid during the early days in to-
bacco by receiving so many pounds
from each parish, and that Patrick
Henry won that celebrated case
against the, minister when ne de-
manded 1000 pounds of tobacco, be-
cause Henry thought that was too
much tobacco for one preacher.
"When the colonies came to be es-
tablished a corporation was organ

Britain for the jamestown colonists.

KENTUCKY CENSUS OF SCHOOLS
IL COMPLETED

partment of Education has completed
the school census for the year of 1915
which shows that there are a total oil
743,4S7 children in Kentucky of pupil
age. or this number 667,OO2 are white
and 76,4S5 are colored. There arc
1884 whites list in the cities and
604,323 in the rural and graded dis
tricts. The colored census shows 90,
1923 listed in the cities and 81, 1856 in
the rural and graded districts.
During recent years therde has been
but little gain in the school censuses
probably due to the fact that the De-
partment of Education has become
very strict about accurate census re-
ports. The census report for 1905
showed 743,9OS children of school age
In the State, of 421 more than the
census for the present year.
There are a total of 1884 white
children between the ages of and
20 years in independent cities, or a
loss of twenty-seven over last year.
The colored children between the
ages of and 20 in Independent cities
total 26.323, or a gain of 1872 over last
year.
The total census in cities for the
year OF 6 tcoJ)3lr TAOTAOITAOINA
year 1916 is 139,164 children of school
age. The total census for 1915 was
l3S,799 making gain a of 1856 for this
year.

itricts outside the cities, and 50,lU2 col
ored children nthe rural districts

gain of 3,269 for the present year
There is a loss of 1,224 colored chill
dren in the rural districts for 1916 as
compared to the 1915 census. This
loss is attributed to the fact that the

for the cities.

HUNTINGTON PEEVED
over Treatment They Received From
the Directors OF the Ohio State
League--WlIl Never Again En-
ter That Organization.

The following article from Thurs
days Huntington Herald-Dispatch
shows the feeling the Huntington fans
have over the treatment they received
from the Ohio State League directors:
Organized baseball, so far as Hunt
ington is concerned, was buried with
fitting ceremony yesterday. Every
semblance of a chance for this city
to become a part of the Ohio State
league during the second season faded
sharply at twelve o'clock when PM
c. Jacks received telegram from
President Joe Carr, of the league, say
ing that Lexington's ball players didn't
like Huntington so Huntington must
abide by their decision.
The new league will be composed Of
Portsmouth. Chillicothe, Maysville and
Lexington, according to Joe Carr. In
wiring the local promoters Mr.. Carr
forfeited every right to place a ball
club in this city in the future and with
the one fell swoop of his pen he plac-
ed the Ohio State league in disrepute
in Huntington.
After years Of deals and counter
deals, backed sometimes by Hunting
ton men and on other occasions by
Charleston magnates, the Ohio State
league survived many a stormy sea-
son. But those days are DER, judging
by the sentiment sweeping the city.
1t is doubtful If an Ohio State team
would attract a corporal's guard If il
was put in Huntington on strong
financial basis, because the men who
have supported baseball this season
have lost their respect for the circuit
since the capital double cross was
handed Phil Jacks and j. W. Pool, who
had purchased the Lexington club.
If Huntington, Charleston or other
West Virginia cities want baseball II
will be a West Virginia league and
not a foreign organization, fostered
for gain with no idea of keeping the
organization above a plane of dicker-
ings and transactions behind closed
doors after legitimate deal has been
closed.

Players Wouldn't Come

II a more fimsy excuse than that
"The ball players don't want to come
to Huntington" can be given. trot II
out. These were the words of Joe
Carr in explaining why Huntington
would not secure the Lexington club
1t is the first time in history that the
ball players were given a chance 10
say just where they would go so long
as they secured their pay. That they
would have been paid dollar for dol
lar was guaranteed by the new man
