A DANGEROUS THING

or late 1t has become practice for
number of automobile drivers in
this city to see how fast they can
travel from one end of the town to
another. There has been no serious
accident either to pedestrians or to
the autoists themselves but. 1t is best
to go on safety first principles. They
seem to have no regard for the rights
of others but 60 rolling along as fast
as possible, at times refusing to sound
their horns to warn pedestrians. Sew
eral days ago we noticed one of them
coming uD the street past one of the
school buildings. A large number of
children were on the sidewalk and
some few in the street. The driver
did not slow down but continued his
course at speed that was long dis
tance from II miles an hour, that is
provided by city ordinance. The po-
lice should arrest number of these
speed fiens and assess few fines and
the practice would be broken up. OBJ
ject lessons are great institutions.

Mr.. w. S. Hardyman of Burtonville,
passed through Maysville yesterday
TO his home. Mr.. Hardyman was in
the Maxwell Auto Works, Newcastle,
Ind, when the cycone hit the town,
1t lasted just three minutes but in
that time laid low 500 buildings and
killed score of persons as well as
manning dozens. 1t did not even
shake the Maxwell plant. Mr.. Hardy
man was one of the workers at rescue
and his experience was narrowing
painful and exhausting. Mr.. Hardy
man was on a prospecting tour and
will very likely associate himself with
business venture of great value tc
Newcastle. 1t will be good news tc
this mans friends to learn he will moi
leave us. He is fine type of mar
and an honor to our state.

TOBACCO GROWERS

We understand that number OF
Growers have not been able to get
sufficient help to enable them to strip
all their tobacco. We are In the ware
house business to help the Growers.
1t is probable that the market will
close within the next few weeks. II
your tobacco is in condition and you
are unable to strip it, just bring it to
us on the stalk and we will put our
expert tobacco handlers on 1t and
strip it right and sell 1t we'll for you
for reasonable fee.
While the market only averaged
$16.82 last week, our average was
$17.05, which Is due to the careful
way we handle tobacco. Bring what
you have left, on or off the stalk, and
we will do the rest. Market continues
good at our house and we want tc
help you.

Association In a Meeting
Last Evening.

A meeting of the Tobacco Associa-
tion was held last night and the men,
bers of the organization, the leaders
In the business in this city, decided to
close the Maysville Tobacco Market
OH Thursday, March 29.
All of the houses will close on the
date named, which will leave only

early this year but there is but little
more tobacco to be brought in ac'
cording to reports.
This has been banner year in the
history of the Maysville market. AL

equaled the highest mark made ye
there may be enough to come ever
with the high mark.
The sales of the year, not including
yesterday, are 21,975,940 pounds
These figures are unofficial but will
give a proximately the amount of to

Tonight Charles X. Taggart, known
over the county as "The Man From

lect, adventures in city and country,
Keeping everybody In a roar of laugh

side-splitting as is the suggestive var.

Foundation of Cotton.

When the Leasowe lighthouse. Eng
land, was built on the sandy Wirral
shore the builders were puzzled by the
lack OF suitable foundation for the
masonry tower. An ingenious way out
OF the difficulty was effected In the
vicinity an incoming ship, laden with
a cargo Of cotton, had gone ashore and
had become a total wreck. The cot
ton was useless for its intended pur-
pose, so the bales were salvaged and
dumped into the sand at the point
where the lighthouse was to be erect.
ed. The fleecy mass settled into the
sand, and under compression became
as solid as rock, while It's perma.
nency was assured by It's complete sub
mersion. The stability of this strange
foundation may be gathered from the
fact that the tower erected thereon
stood, and shed its welcome light regu-
larly every night, for about century
and a half. only being extinguished
two or three years ago, as 1t was no
longer required.
