PARIS MERCHANTS TO CO-OPE.
RATE IN WAR MOVEMENT.

Paris merchants are preparing to
cooperate with the War Advisory
Council in the movement to conserve
the National resources during the
war with Germany.
One source of great waste, the Ad-
visory Council states, is the practice
of requesting the retail merchants to
make Unnecessary deliveries of small
articles and to send goods out on ap-
prevail, thus requiring two trips of
the delivery vehicle.
This is wasteful in two ways-it
consumes in the aggregate an enor-
nous quantity of fuel, and increases
the demand for labor which might be
more profitably employed in other
ways
The War Council makes a patriotic
appeal to the women of the land to
carry their small bundles home, to
make certain that they really want
articles before leaving the store, and
whenever possible, when leaving
home, to carry with them small arti-
cles which are to be returned to the
merchant
Every dollar saved in this way by
the nation at large will make it
stronger in money and means to sup
port the armies in the field and care
for the wounded in the hospital, it is
asserted by the prominent men con-
cerned in this conservation plan.

NEGRO, SHOOTS UP CAR ON M
TERURBAN LINE.

When Jack Webster, a Paris me-
gro, was put off the 11:15 Paris
Lexington interurban car at Nine
teenth street, in this city yester-
day for not paying his fare. it made
him mad, and Conductor B. Ander-
son, of Lexington, became the OBJ
ject of his wrath.
Webster got on the car at Twenti-
eth street, and upon being asked for
his fare when Nineteenth street was
reached, refused to pay. He was
promptly elected by the conductor.
Webster, in revenge, produced his
revolver from somewhere in the re-
gion of where such things are usu-
ally carried and proceeded to fire
three shots through the car. One
shot went through the vestibule,
one into the rear end of the car, and
one through window. Anderson
leaped from his car and grabbed the
shooter, holding him until Paris was
reached, when he escorted him to the
Paris Jail. One shot, it was stated,
barely grazed Anderson's collar.
Webster was charged with mali
cious shooting, with firing into a
railway car and with carrying con-
cealed weapons. 1t was wonder
that the occupants of the car es-
capped injury by the flying missiles.

THE BIG AUGUST DANCE.

John Stuart, and Ireland Bit
Davis could not have found d more
suggestive title for a dance than the
one they have chosen for their next
venture, the big August Dance"
True there will be nothing very au-
gust about it save the title, as it will
be an occasion of merriment, with
nothing smacking of royalty or sol
emnity to mar the occasion.
Indications are that the attendance
will be the largest of any similar oc-
casion this summer, the summer that
is now on the wane. Music will be
furnished by the Smith Saxaphone
Orchestra, which will positively fill
that date Wednesday, August 1, at
the Masonic Temple ballroom, in
Paris. The hours will be from nine
to three-thirty o'clock.

SOME SNAKE STORY FROM MT.
AIRY AVENUE.

While taking his ease in the yard
at his home on Mt. Airy Avenue, Sun
day afternoon, Mr.. Alex Rice, ST.,
was attracted by a commotion among
the birds in big tree under which
he was sitting. Thinking it was
merely disturbance caused by some
unwelcome bird invading the feath-
cry social circle, Mr.. Rice paid very
little attention to it for a while.
The disturbance continued and in
creasing in volume and intensity Mr..
Rice concluded to investigate. Upon
climbing the tree he found a large
house snake wrapped around one Of
the limbs, endeavoring to get within
striking distance of the birds. Mr..
Rice beat a hasty retreat and going
to the house secured his revolver.
He fired four shots at the snake
from the ground, a distance of prob
ably twenty-five feet. Three shots
took effect in his snakeship. Mr.. Rice
secured the reptile, and exhibited 1t
to his neighbors as a sample of his
Workmanship. The reptile menace
removed the birds resumed their Sun
day afternoon .siesta, and peace and
quiet again reigned over the vicinity.
The snake measured over four and
one-half feet in length.

NEW SUPERINTENDENT TO SIC.
CEED w. H. ANDERSON.

The appointment of Mr.. j. H. Nor.
rison, of Birmingham, Ala, to sue.
coed the late Mr.. w. H. Anderson as
superintendent of the Kentucky Cen
tral division of the Louisville &
Nashville was confirmed Saturday by
an official announcement to the en-
ployes of the division and the head
quarters in Paris by General Mana
ger B. M. Starks, in Louisville.
The new superintendent is an ex-
perlenced railroad man, having been

vision of the Louisville & Nashville
with headquarters in Birmingham
Mr.. Morrison is a native of Eliza
BEETHOVEN, KY, and has been in the
Louisville & Nashville service for

predicted.
Mr.. Morrison arrived in Paris last
week and Immediately began famil.
iarizing himself with the duties of
his new position. He will take charge
officially tomorrow. 1t is thought the
office force will remain unchanged,
as it is very doubtful if the person
mel could be improved for efficiency.

by General Manager Starks at the
same time was that of Mr.. w. F.
Sheridan, well-known in Paris, to be

the conclusion of Red Cross ice
cream supper at. the Hill School
House on the Hawkins & Cummins
pike, between Jacksonville and Cen
terville, Oscar Willoughby was shot
and dangerously wounded by a neigh

loughby and Harp, the nature of
which has not been revealed. The
two men came out in the school
yard, when the quarrel which started
in the building, was resumed. Harp
drew revolver and fired two shots,
one taking effect in Willoughby's
neck. Harp made his escape, and is
still at large, despite vigorous
search being made for him by the
Fayette and Bourbon county officials.
WillOughby was removed to his
home near Old Union, and was later
brought to the Massie Memorial Hos
pital, in Paris, where he lies in a
critical condition.
Sheriff Talbot, Deputies McClin-
took and Marshall, with a posse,
went to the scene of the shooting i'm
mediately on receipt of a telephone
message and made a search for the
shooter, who was said to be in hiding
at the home Of his brother, near Old

THE FARMER AND THE SCHOOL
TAX.

The new tax law enacted by the
recent Legislature will govern the
assessment to be made the first OF
September.
Under this law the heaviest burden
of taxation will fall on the farm
lands of Kentucky. Does the farmer
in addition to this burden, wish still
further to increase his taxes? If So
the coming primary will give him the
chance. Listen! Each County SUI
perintendent of Schools has the right
to have levied and collected 20 cents
on each one hundred dollars worth
of property in the county and a poll
tax of one dollar and fifty cents for
school purposes in addition to all
other taxes.
| Mark this statement of school taxes
in the counties which touch Bour-
bon:
Fayette, 20 cents.
Scott, Is cents.
HARRISON, 12R cents and $3.50 pol
tax.
Nicholas, 20 cents and s1.00 poll
tax.
Montgomery, 20 cents and $1.0O
poll tax.
Bath, 20 cents and $1.O0 poll tax.
Clark 10 cents. But Clark has
! three graded schools in the county
which assess 35 cents or more.
Bourbon county has 10 cents only
and no poll tax. With this ten
cents Miss Robbins, besides extending
the school term to- eight months, has
built % new school houses. There
are A districts, white and cOlored
in the county. She has steadily op-
posed any increase of the tax burden
and in another term could have a
new house in each remaining district
| where one is needed without a cent
of additional tax.
Mr.. Caywood is very enthusiastic
about the improved school houses
and higher salaried teachers he will
install if elected
There is only one way to carry out
his theory, and that is to raise the
tax rate to the limit.
Don't imagine he can't do this If
the Fiscal Court refused to make any
levy, which the Superintendent asked
for, to meet the needs of the schools
within the limit allowed by law he
could force them to make it by man
damus proceedings in the courts.
If there is any doubt anywhere that
Mr.. Caywood intends to increase the
school tax it can easily be removed
by nominating him.
And remember: When the added
tax is once levied it will not be re-
duced later 1t is the habit of taxes
always to increase and never dimin-
ish.

BIDS TOO HIGH ON NEW SCHOOL
ADDITION.
"a - "a

At the recent meeting of the City
Council bids for the erection of the
new additions to the white and color
ed city schools, provided for by re-
cent bond issue, were submitted by
several prominent contractors.
The bids were discussed and con-
sidered as being too high, the lowest
bid on the two wings for the white
school being about $4,000, and the
addition to the colored school about
$4,000.
No action was taken in the matter
by the Council, and action was defer
red until a future meeting, when it
will be taken up again. The i'm
provements will probably not be
made until the prices of material are
lower.

crossed bats at the old Bluegrass
