would have been treated. had the
County Agent not been here.
This, then, would represent a
clear saving of $2S92 to the
county, nearly five times as much
as IS paid the agent by the eoun-
| ".
The agent was instrumental In
bringing To Hickman county an
expert EntomOlogist from Depart
ment of Entomology and Bot
any of the Kentucky Experiment
Station, who spent six weeks
studying the Hessian fly and its
danger to the wheat growers of
the county. The result of this
Investigation will be published in
the near future and we are able
TO say that the information fur
nished by this report, if needed
by the wheat growers of the
county will be the means of re-
dueing the damage of the fly to
about 10 per cent of its present
damage.
He has brought to Hickman
county a two-days Farmers Chau-
tauqua with six experts to adj
dress the farmers of the county
along lines of scientific farming,
better farm management and
home Improvement. He has ap-
peared before the Woman's Club
of Clinton and secured the co
operation of its members In get
ting Miss Mary Sweeny before
the farm women of the county,
and their cooperation in any
work that has for its object the
betterment of home conditions
of the county.
The agent has been instru-
mental in starting IA demonstra-
tions with the farmers that will
result In better methods being
adopted along the line of hog
feeding, wheat growing, alfalfa
growing, corn growing, conserv-
alton of soil fertility, soil build
ing, community improvement etc.
The agent, in the five months
he has been In the county, has
visited 2S9 farmers, representing
a travel with horse and buggy of
1885 miles, He has travelled, in
pursuing his official duties 1144
miles by rail. He has addressed
SO public meetings with an APP
proximate attendance of 1117
people, has been consulted at his
office by Sc people, has been
called over the telephone by 63
persons He has written 374 Of
ficial letters and has written 13

an active candidate; what they
did was done in good faith. But
as soon as the activity at Hick-
iian became known at Washing
ton, high officials, representing
territory from the Gulf to the Ca
madam boundary, got busy on
the wires and assured us that
We mad done the right thing, and
was surprised that we had not
extended the committee our for
NAL invitation earlier. The as
sociations, which had been CROP
ing IN darkness as to Hickman s
intention and untimly committed
their Endorsement to some Of
our neighboring cities, are now in
cllned to recall the original and
issue a supplementary endorse
ment for Hickman. Even Con
gresham Barkley, whose home
town of Paducah wants the plant,
Is doing all he can legitimately
to have the real site at Hickman
considered. Big Ollie" acted
wisely in Withholding his en-
dorsement of any other town, be-
cause he had a hunch way back
IN December that Hickman would
swing into line in plenty of time
Tor him to get on the job. 1t was

Pres. Taft was visiting the good
towns along the river, said to

what he was talking about and

found sympathy, but in the nat

The crowning achievement Of
all things accomplished in Hick-
man in the last half century. is
the building Of the levee pro-
tecting the west end of town and
our factory district. This big
embankment, with strength and
magnificent proportions, suffi-
clent to Withstand wind and wat
er, must give to everyone behind
it an ample sense of security,
and will warrant the extension
OF improvements In West Hick-
man, which never before could
be entertained. It means, not on
ly security against the ever oc-
curring calamities Of flood, but
will bring better homes. better
citizens, encouragement to ex-
tend development on the part OF
factories and industries in gener-
al, and will divert great an
nual loss into q vigorous asset.
This levee means more to the fu-
ture of Hickman than any one
step within the recollection Of
"the oldest inhabitant. " Watch
US grow.

him, but be quick about it. q

VAWTER'S COUNSEL
 ISSUES STATEMENT ON HETH KILLING
Says Evidence Will Bring Out That Friendship and Confidence of Profes-
 sOr Was Betrayed

Blacksburg, Va, March 1e.-CounseI for Prof. Charles E. Vawter issued a state ment here tonight saying. "a thorough investigation of the facts surrounding the death of stockton Heth, Jr., will disclose betrayal of friendship and confidence reposed."
 Heth was shot in the Vawters home on the Virginia Polytechnic Institute campus early Tuesday morning and died in a Roanoke hospital yesterday Vawter is under bond
 This .s the first statement from any member or representative of the NaWter family since young Heth was shot.
 Professor Vawter went to Chrlstianpurg today and waived preliminary hearing His bond was fixed at $l0,0O9.
 The statement issued by ProfessoS Vaw- ters counsel reads.
 "In view of the account published or what is purported to be the dying state ment of Stockton Heth, Jr., as to the circumstances leading up to the shooting, counsel for Prof c. E. Vawter is of the opinion that it would serve no good pur- pose for their client to make any detailed statement at this time other than 10 say that after a thorough investigation or the surrounding facts eliminating in the unfortunate tragedy, the evidence Will disclose a betrayal of friendship ana con- hdence reposed The day has not come when the honor of a Virginia home IS nc longer sacred and we feel that our client will have ncthng to fear at the hands of a jury of his countrymen.

MAY RECOMMEND STATE
 CENSORS IN MISSISSJPPT

Yazoo City, Miss.-( Especially )-Governol Theodore G. Bilbo has given out that it is his intention to recommend to the next session of the state legislature which convenes in January, 1918, that a state board of censors be appointed to pass on
 all moving pictures before being shown
 in this state, and that special privi- lege license be assessed against produc-
 ing companies and moving picture play
 houses. He claims that this would put
 into the state treasury s25,0O0 to $50, ,OOC per annum.
 Frederick G. Sulens. editor of the Jack
 soE (Miss) Evening News, has given no tice through his paper editorially that he would fight the governor on this propo- sition. He stated that if such a bill was enacted, it would mean that the prices of admission would be advanced, and the patrons of the playhouses would pay the freight after all With an advance in the prices of admission would mean that a number of children and great many ot the laboring class of people would have to deny themselves the pleasure of witness ing their favorites on the screen for one to two hours.
