No Cigarette Advertising

The Times has turned down ex
tensive advertising for three lead
ing brands of cigarettes because we
think they should not be used, and
this advertising might lead some
boy to the cigarette habit. This
business would amount to at least
$3.50 per year, all of which we sad
ly need. Cigarette advertising al
ways pays good rates. The Times
is not prejudiced against the use of
plain tobacco, but the doped ciga-
rette, if it is half so bad as thew
tell us, should be barred from sale
or use, especially to the young
boys.

We Elect Senator

Perhaps not dozen voters in
Powell county are aware that we
elect a State Senator this fall.
Powell is in the 3lst district with
Menefee, Bath, Rowan, Fleming
and Mason counties. Allen H..
Points, of Bath county, is the
Democratic nominee for Senator.
The race was not run in Powell,
no names for Senator being on
the ballot. The Republicans
made no nomination. Well, it is
all just the same to us. The last
Legislature practically disfran-
chised us when it placed us where
it did in the Senatorial district.
We are not known in the district
and never expect to be. But the
politicians must be petted and
have things fixed to perpetuate
certain fellows in office.

1t is a we'll established fact that
wilted wild cherry leaves will kill

More Road Work Let

The Powell Fiscal Court Fri
day let the contract to Williams
& Pitzer, of Lexington, for
the grade work and surfacing
with gravel the remaining sur
vey from Virden to the Clark
county line. The length of this
road is 2.85 miles, and is to be
completed by January 1, 1920.
Some of the contract prices
are: 60 cents per yard for earth
excavation; $1.75 per yard for
slate and $500 for solid rock.
They get $500 per cubic yard
for concrete class A.
The above prices seem high
and are high, but everything is
high. The people wanted the
road and seemed satisfied with
the contract because it provided
for the completion of the road
within the next few months.
The Court will take up work
on other roads, now that it is
rid of this most important high
uyau
