The amouhceinen6 by Director
Geueral Of Railroads AcAdoo that On
June 10 passenger rates would jump
to three cents mile and that a 20
per cent increase IN freight rates
would 20 into effect Is declared BIZ
officials Of the B. n Goodrich Rab-
Der company to be the greatest boost
transportation By motor vehicle has
received sindce It became obvious that
carriers other than steam driven
would be essential for effective re-
leasing az national resources
One Interpretation placed on the
action Of Mr. McAdoo IS that the
government believes motor trucks
are capable Of handling tremendous
share Of the nations freight and that
the increase is to discourage shipping
from using valuable car space for
the transportation Of products less
essential TO the needs Of the nation.
Manufacturers Of passenger cars
have also taken heart because the de-
oision tends TO encourage greater use
Of the automobile for travel and un-
less an increase in the cost Of gaso-
line offsets the gain, motor cars
should be used more than ever be-
fore.
A striking example Of the immense
saving to shippers can be had from
these figures If the shippers now
using motor trucks as curriers' be-
tween New York and Philadelphia
were sending their tonnage, which
amounts TO 100000 tons annually,
over the railroads instead Of the high
ways. the recent freight rate in

city, or 5000, 900 pounds each week
Gao trucks operating between these
two cities make total Of 7 200 trips
week.
Probably even greater than the
impetus 10 the motor truck industry
will be the effect ON passenger ear
business. Business and professional
men will make short business trips by
automobile ON a larger scale than ever
before. Fewer trains and convent
ences for the travelling public will
cause thousands to switch over 10 the
highways aud passenger ears.
Large corporations and iobbers
who have provided automobiles for
their statesmen, as well as those con-
sidering this departure as a mean,
of transportation for their field rep
rescntatives will enlarge passenger
ear sales materially by their demands.
Owners of motor cars who annually
take extensive summer vacation trips
on railroad trains will think twice this
year before. passing up a vacation
via motor. For example, family Ut
four would pay in round-trip railrond
fare for a distance Of 100 miles, S24,
plus, probably, Pullman, city street
car fare and baggage transfer:
while the bOth-ways cost VIA motor

Of tires and depreciation on ear cost,
would total approximately $40 for

estimated cost considering all types

TOBACCO MARKET
NEARLY over
Splendid Prices Are Now Being OBJ
tanned as Farmers are Bringing
In Last of Crops.

Since the car shortage has been
relieved the buyers are bidding
strongly for the remaining amount
Of tobacco and the price now being
received by the farmers is very sat
isfaetory. Some splendid averages
have been made as will be seen by
the large advertisements appearing
in this paper. 1t is estimated by
those in charge of the warehouses
that between eight and eight and
one-half million pounds will be sold.
There is yet quite an amount of to-
bacco in the barns but all the
warehouses are now in position to
unload the wagons as fast as they
are brought in and we urge every
one who can to bring in his tobacco
at once while there are yet full
number of buyers on the floor.

MARRIED AT LOUISVILLE

Miss Leora Jeffries and Mr. Wilmot
X Prewitt surprised their many
friends here last Thursday, when
they went to Louisville, where they
were married at the First Christian
church by Rev. Horace Kingsbury.
Rev. Kingsbury was formerly pas
tor of the Christian church at Som
erset church, this county. The
happy couple were accompanied to
Louisville by Mrs. Jeffries, mother
of the bride, Miss Lizzie Prewitt
Coleman, of this city, and Mrs.
Marshall Foley; of Lexington, who
Witnessed the ceremony. After a
n.short bridal tour they will return to
this county where they will reside
on the farm of the groom. Miss
Jeffries is a most attractive and
highly cultured girl and having
travelled extensively is a most in
xteresting conversationalist. She
has always taken deep interest in
church work and the man of her
choice is indeed to be congratulate
ed upon winning so charming a wife.
She is a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
B. P. Jeffries, for many years among
our most substantial citizens. Mr..
kPrewitt is a member of the widely
Nconnected Prewitt family and is
splendid young farmer of fine abil-
ity and being of pleasant address he
makes and retains friends readily.
Having known these splendid young
people for many years the writer is
delighted with the opportunity of
wishing them long, happy and
prosperous married life.

Amazing grace, how sweet the

of usefulness, of sacrifices, gentle

MRS. HAMPTON
DIES SUNDAY
Passes to Her Reward After Hav-
ing Lived More than. Four Score
and a Quarter Years.

Mrs. Lucella Embry Hampton,
widow of Francis Marion Hampton,
daughter of Rev. Allen and Mira
Moberly Embry, departed this life
Sunday morning, March 10, 1918,
at l o'clock, after a lingering ill
ness due mostly to the infrmities
of age.
Mrs. Hampton was born in Madi-
son county, December %, 1881, hence
was past eighty-six years old. The
Embry family is numbered among
the representative citizens of Madi-
son county and at all times Mrs.
Hampton has merited and borne
that distinction.
She was married about sixty-fve
years ago to Mr.. Hampton, Of
Mason county, who died in 1859.
Mrs. Hampton had been a member
of the Baptist church for about six
ty-fve years and her life has ever
been an open book, with pages that
recorded deeds of charity and the
noble characteristics of a religious
life. She came to Mt. Sterling in
1876 and for much of the time
since that date her home has been
with her daughter, Mrs. j. W. He'd
den, Sr. She was known as a gen.
erous, self-sacrifcing, religious
Southern lady.
Funeral services were conducted
Monday morning at $50 o'clock at
the home of J. W. Hedden, ST.. by her
pastor, Rev. ]. S. Wilson, and burial
was in Machpelah cemetery.
She is survived by one sister, Mrs.
Abner Oldham, of Lexington, and
one brother, Mr.. Leonidas Embry,
of California, Mo-, leading lawyer
mp to the time of his retirement
from the practice; two daughters,
Mrs. J. w. Hedden, ST., and Miss
Frances j. Hampton; four grand
children, Mrs. M. c. Mckee, Union ;
Mrs. T. B. Arthur, Jellico, Tenn /;
j. w. Hedden, Jr., and Roger H..
Hedden, of this city, and three
great grandchildren, Frances Eliza
beth Arthur, of Jellico, Tenn; Ada
Embry MceKe, of Union, and Emily
E. Hedden, of this city, all of
whom were here and attendants at
the last rites, except her aged broth
er in Missouri and the infant grand
daughter.
Memories of her pure, helpful life
will inger as lasting imprints on the
many that have come in touch with
her. AS characteristic of her life
this verse aptly illustrates:
Now don't it seem a towards part
To grumble and complain,
While all around are those who bear

practically were on the scene by s
o'clock and it was almost impossible
to get the ambulances and cars
through the crowd to take the injur-
ed and dead to their homes and to
the hospital. All of the ambulances
of fhe city and cars were called in
to service and after a rope was
stretched in front of the building
the injured were moved more rap
idly. Ip ts
The first that were taken from
the theatre were taken to the office
of DIR. Isaac II. Brown until the
entire office and home was crowd
ed until others could not be admit
ted. In the office of DR.. Brown
there were to be found children,
both boys and girls, men and
women,- and the cries Of the injur-
ed could be heard for block even
during the intense excitement anu
the noise that was being created
by the large crowd which was
blocking the streets for two squares.
The parents and friends of those
that had attended the performance
were to be seen on all hands mingl-
ing among the crowded street in an
effort to find those that had been in
jured.
One of the children of Colonel
Frisbie was taken to the store room
of the Renaker Poultry Company,
which is located just across the
street from the theatre with his
head almost mashed into a pulp and
his brains gushing from his head.
Others were to be seen with
their arms and legs broken, their
heads cut from the falling brick and
the ceiling of the building, while
others were to be seen mashed into
pulp where they had been caught
by the mass of brick which had fall
len from the four story building
above.
at is considered when anyone
views the walls and the way
in which they began falling
one of the most miraculous
escapes that was ever witnessed
that the entire attendance at the
theatre was not killed outright from
the heavy walls which had fallen"
At a mass meeting Sunday be-
tween forty-fve hundred and five
thousand dollars was raised to de-
fray the expenses of the injured
and TO assist in the burial of those
not able 10 bear this expense. The
stricken families of our sister city
have the sympathy of the entire
community in their sorrow.
