COURT OF APPEALS RECESSES

The January term of the Court OF
Appeals adjourned last Friday aftsI
having disposed of a large number
of cases. The spring session begins
April II with a heavy docket. The
Judges will doubtless spend most of
the short vacation in their home dis
tricts.
Ohio county, which usually has a
number of appeals pending, has But
one case docketed for the next term
and that is Finley Carter, &C., VS..
w. S. Neel. &c. The appeal is from
a judgment of the Circuit Court dis
missing the petition of Carter and
others for the construction of a ditch
in the northern part of the county
not far from Ralph. ?
The facts were heard by a jury
and a verdict rendered to the effect
that the ditch should not be con-
structedt Judgment was rendered
accordingly and Carter and others
are seeking to have this reversed.

M. c. sHRoADER FOR JArLER.

The attention of our readers is
called to the announcement this
week of M. C. Shroader for Jailer,
subject to the action of the Repub-
lican party. Mr.. Shroader was rear
ed on farm in the eastern part OF
the county, near the line that sepa-
rates the two strongly Republican
precincts, Rosine and Sulphur
Springs.
BY the dint of hard ticks he secur-
ed fair common school education
and is well qualified to fill the office
he seeks. He stands high wherever
known and is hustling young Re-
publican that merits recognition, and
no doubt he will make a strong race.
Should he be the nominee, whoever
is nominated by the Democrats will
have in Mode" Shroader an oppon-
ent who will make a hard but hon
cradle fight in the final election.

TEACHERS MUST WAIT.

The payment of last installment
to the school teachers will be de-
layed says State Superintendent. v.
o. Gilbert. The reason given is
that in estimating the amount to pay
teachers the railroad taxes in litiga-
ton were considered. When these
cases are decided, If favorable to
the State the distribution will be
made to teachers, but IL an adverse
decision is rendered or the cases
should be indefinitely delayed, no
more money will be paid the teach
ers until the beginning of the new
fiscal year, July the first.

Ohio county, employ no Ohio county
help, and II is only reasonable to
suppose that not one cent of the
money sent them will ever circulate
again in our county.
Then, too, II you want merchan-
disc of any kind and have not the
cash on hand to pay for 1t, do you
write your mail order house to send
you so and so, and you will settle
when your crop is sold? No, not on
your life-you go to your home
merchant and stand him off," Then
we ask is 1t fair to send away for ar
ticles when you have the cash, and
then ask your home merchant for
credit when short of money?
II you will compare prices in mail
order catalogs with those of home
merchants you will find that they
sell the same articles for the same
money land in some instances, for
less) as the mail order houses.
Be fair to yourself and to the
home merchant-buy your merchan-
disc at home-from those who will
put your money in circulation where
you can have hopes of getting hold
of II again.

SENATE SHOTLD SAVE

The Oliver bill creating an expen,
sive tax commission has encountered
strong opposition in the Sen
ate, and apparently the Porter
amendment providing that the Gov.
crnor Auditor, Secretary OF State
Treasurer and Attorney General COM
pose the Tax Commission is most
strongly favored. This would be
much more economical and satisfac-
tory. 1t means rot only trench
dous saving in salaries. bat that the
extraordinary powers given To a
Board who get their commissions d.
rectly from and are responsible to
the people. They will hereafter be
elected with a full knowledge on the
part Of the voters that these partic-
ular duties are to be performed by
the officials composing the Board.
Senator Stricklett voiced our sen-
timents when he said that he oppos-
ed the creation of any Tax Commits
sion. but would support the amend
ment as a choice between two evils.
We do not know what the line up
will be, but feel safe in saving the
people generally are with Senators
Porter, Stricklett and others in OBJ
posing the creation OF any more OK
pensive commissions.

Teachers and prospective teachers
welcome the announcement that the
examination questions this year will
be more practical. We hope this
means the elimination of all nonsen-

test the real knowledge or fitness of
the applicant, and which belong in
a compilation of puzzles or book Of

ticns to be propounded to teachers.

SUITS BY WHOLESALE,
-FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY
Corporations Alleged To Be De-
Iinquent-Six in Ohio Coun.
ty Made Defendants.

The County Attorney of Franklin
county has instituted suits on be-
half of the State, against four hun
dred and fifty Kentucky corpora
lions for failing to pay the license
tax of 80 cents on the $1,000 OF
capital stock as required by law.
Among the lot are six Ohio coun-
ty corporations as follows:
Beaver Dam Creamery Co.
Blue Grass Oil Co.
Z Ligon-Sherrod Construction Co.
Ohio County Fair Association.
Hartford Stone & Construction Co.
Jimtown Coal Company.
The basis for these suits is the
statute requiring corporations to re-
port to the Auditor on or before the
first day of February each year Civ
ing information from which the
amount of taxes fixed by the Board
consisting of Auditor, Secretary of
State and Treasurer, and requiring
amount of taxes are fixed by the
Board consisting of Auditor, Secre-
tary of State and Treasurer, and re-
curing payment in thirty days after
notice of amount due.
The penalty for failing to report
or pay as specified subjects the cor
poration to a fine of from $50 to
S 900. Also the right of such cor
poration to do business as such is
until all fines, costs, taxes
and penalties are paid.
and penaltie are paid.
On all such taxes a penalty of 10
per cent. is added and the taxes bear
interest at the rate of 10 per cent
per annum until paid.

TOMATOES, CORN AND
POTATOES.

The high prices paid for the las
crop of tobacco have a tendency t
concentrate tie attention Of so man!
farmers to This D: rticula" product
there is & inc fear that IT, trurs :"
cereals inG vegetables will ne fur
The" rtailtd. We hope and r"a!.y
believe tobacco will bring good prices
again this season. This, coupled
with the fact that the crop means
ready money in the fall and all in a
lump, influences producers to stake
more on this than on other farm
products. Then the cost of seed is
very slight and this in some in
stances seems to increase the num-
Der of small crops.
However, tobacco requires an UNI
usual amount of labor and more or
less attention throughout the entire
year.
Fortunately our soil is adapted to
the production of the principal
grains and vegetables so necessary
for man and beast. Among products
which can be successfully raised and
marketed are corn, tomatoes and po-
tatoes.
That these will command as high
if not higher prices another year
there is scarcely doubt. Compar-
ing the time demanded. the labor nee
essary and the conservation of the
soil in the production of these nee
essaries with that of tobacco, it
strikes us that now is a good time
for the farmers to give them at least
more consideration than heretofore.
Many farmers in Ohio county are
buying feed for their stock and po-
tatoes and other vegetables for their
families. One man in all serious
ness remarked that he would not
plant any potatoes this spring be-
cause the seed would cost too much.
If most farmers take this same view
where will seed potatoes come from
next year and what will be the cost?
Perhaps no other vegetable is so
universally used as the Irish pota-
to, and the chances are the scarcity
and price of seed now will mean
higher prices next winter. +
Then take tobatoes. Seed only
only costs trifle if anything. There
is. no reason why tomatoes should
not be produced in large quantities
and preserved right here in our
not only for our own con-
but for shipping to the
other markets. We have the soil and
t has already been demonstrated ,
hat the local canning of this delic-
GUS vegetable formerly known as
'love-apple" pays even when put up
