A decision of much Importance TO
the depositors of the defunct Geo.
Alexander & Co., State Bank, in
this city, was handed down in the
Bourbon Circuit Court by Judge
Robert l.. Stout, Wednesday, by the
terms of which they will again par
ticipate in benefits.
At the time of the failure of the
Alexander Bank, George Alexander
owned seven-twentienth interest
in the Power Wholesale Grocery
Company, of Paris, which interest
lie had transferred to the bank of
which he was then the head. The
Power Grocery Company had in
dorsed notes to the amount of 500
COO to George Alexander personally,
and after the bank had failed and
Alexander had made an assignment
to VIM. O. Hinton, the Power Gro
Gerry Co. paid the notes, and pre-.
sented claim to the effect that the
payment of these notes was an ad-
vancement of that sum of money to
George Alexander, and claimed a
lien on AleXander's interest in the
grocery company as their means Of
reimbursement
Mr.. VIM. o. Hinton, the assignee
of George Alexander, claimed that
the interest of Alexander in the
Power Grocery Co. passed to him as
assignee for the benefit of Alexan-
der's creditors. The bank directors
claimed that the interest in the
grocery company belonged to the
bank and should pass to the State
Banking Commissioner for the bene-
fit of. the creditors. The State Bank
ing Commissioner agreed with Mr..
Hinton, the assignee.
The decision of the Court was
that the interest of George Alexan
der in the Power Grocery Co. passed
to the assignees for the benefit of
his creditors, and fixed the value Of
that interest at about $4,000. The
result of this decision will be that
the depositors will receive ninety
per cent of that amount.

BANKS MUST DISCONTINUE PER.
MITTING OVERLOOKING.

In a recent decision of the Federal
Court it was held that National
Banks in permitting depositors to
overcheck were guilty of a misap-
rlication of the funds of the bank.
The Controller of the Currency
acting under the decision has re
auired a promise in writing from the
directors of this bank to discontinue
i'm the future the practice of allow
ing customers to overcheck their &C
counts.
We have no choice in the matter
and must follow implicitly our in
structions from the Treasury De-
rartment and have this day notified
the cashier not to honor in the flu
ture the payment of checks drawn
by customers who overdraw their
accounts.

GERMANY GRABBING EVERY
KIND OF METAL.

Nearly every conceivable brass,
copper and bronze object which en-
tiers into the construction or fus
nishing of a house and building has
been requisitioned by the German
authorities in occupied Belgium. A
copy of a decree published at Brus-
sells, which has just reached the
Belgian authorities, announces the
proposed seizure and compulsory de-
livery of all such objects.
A list Of twenty-eight classes Of
objects which private individuals
are compelled to deliver to the Ger
man invaders includes everything
from fireplace and bathroom fix
lures to curtain rings and brass
cloakroom checks. Nothing seems
to have been too small or insight
ficant to escape being placed on the
list.
The decree states that a search
will be made of all dwellings and
that all classified objects which
have not been delivered to the Ger
man authorities will be- taken by
force.

uTEDENBERG LINE SMASHED
BRITISH WIN GREAT
VICTORY.

The great Hindenberg defense
line. upon which the German COM
nander-in-chief had builded his
homes of holding the British from
;nroadS into the open territory be-
vond. has been smashed. And the
task apparently was an easy one
Attacking over a front of 80
miles. extending from the Scarpe
River east of Arres 70 st. Quentin,
Field Marshal Haig, with his Eng
1ish. Scotch-Irish and Welsh troops,
has made one of the most rapid and
spectacular drives in the onslaught,
capturing numerous positions,
which we're regarded as .impregna-
ble. and taking in addition thous-
ands of prisoners and numerous
guns.
The apex of the offensive appar
emily is centered on the important
railroad juncture of Cambria, lying
TO the east of the old line midway
between Arras and st. Quentin
Here. having taken the towns of
Marching, AnneuX, Graincourt and
Novelties, the victorious troops at
last accounts were we'll within gun
range of Cambria, with its railroad
line and roadway branching out to-
ward all the main points of the
compass.
The British drive was begun
without the usual artillery prelude,
and as the tank and infantrymen
made their way through wire en-
tanglements and pressed the Ger
man first positions, the surprised
enemy began sending UP myriads of
signal rockets calling for assistance.
Whether aid was rushed UP is not
definitely known, but seemingly the
surprised Germans fled in disorder,
leaving all kinds of equipment be-
hind. and in most cases did not even
take time, as usual, to apply the
torch to villages they evacuated.
An indication that the German
forfeited line has been passed by
the British at some points is the en-
try of the cavalry into the fray.
Not since the famous retreat of the
Germans along the Ancre and the
Somme in the spring Of the present
year have the horsemen been en-
gagged. At that time they perform
ed valiant service in harrassing the
retreating columns and in rounding
I'D prisoners.

TOBACCO MARKET SOON
OPEN HERE.
SOON TO ALEXANDER BANK DEP0SITORs
?. TO AGAIN BENEFIT.

The managers of the two local
Eose leaf tobacco warehouses, the
! Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse and
the New Independent, have announc-
ed and are still announcing through
big display advertisements in THE
NEWS that they will be ready for
business on Tuesday, December q.
The order of sale has not yet been
decided upon, but this will be an
nounced later. Competent men
have been secured to handle the to-
bacco, and we urge the people of
Bourbon and adjoining counties to
bring their tobacco to this market
as we are confident that as high
prices will prevail here as at any
market in the United States.
Read the advertisements in this
issue of THE NEWS and you will
learn what these houses propose to
do on the opening day of the sale.
The first sale of the season in
kentucky this year was held at
Vine Grove, where 10000 pounds
sold over the floor of the warehouse
there at an average of $4,000.
The phenomenal price of $500
was paid for one basket. At the
first days sale at that warehouse
last year $4,000 pounds sold for an
average of $13.S5.
Managers John T. Collins, of the
Bourbon House, and Charles C..
Clarke, of the Independent House,
state that there have been several
crops of tobacco sold lately, but
that most of the farmers are await
ing the opening of the market, az
it looks as if - the price will be
higher instead of lower.
Several Bourbon county growers
who were interviwed by THE
NEWS, were of the opinion that the
prices realized for tobacco this sea-
son, and especially for the higher
grades, will be much higher, and
that they expect ito hold their crops
until the opening of the Paris mar
ket
Among the recent purchases OF
the weed made by Bourbon county
men was that of 1900 pounds,
bought by Mr.. Frank P. White, of
Paris, from Mr.. Mark Whalen, of
Scott county. Mr.. White paid TWEEN
ty-five cents a pound straight for
the crop.

The London (Eng.) Globe prints
an interview with Lord Northcliffe,
in which he says he will return to
the United States as head of the
British mission, after the allied con-
ferences and a trip to the various
fronts. If the British government
desired. he would devote much OF
his time to the question of aircraft
production in the United States, he
said, adding:
my great fear is that the Amer
lean output will exceed the posi-
bilities of training officers and me-
chanics. Americans are willing to
make any type of engine we ask, In
addition to their own Liberty en-
gines."
