prepared by County Judge George
Batterton, and placed in the hands
of solicitors, prominent among whom
was Mr.. John Merringer for circula-
ton among the business men and the
residents of Paris and the county.
Within an hour after the paper had
been circulated on Main street alone
over $4,000 had been subscribed q. in
stock, and it is now apparent that
the promoters will have no difficulty
whatever in securing the necessary
capital sfor erecting and operating a
plant that will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, or possibly more.
The shares have been placed on the
market at 800 each, and each day
finds more takers. o.
1t is the plan of the promoters to
have the stock distributed widely
throughout the county so that the
stock may be held in small blocks by
farmers, business men, mechanics, la
boring men, and all others who have
a small amount of capital they can
readily invest for sure returns.
From present indications the plan is
a sure winner, and one that will be
welcomed in Paris. Call on any Of
the promoters and tell them just how
much stock you want to subscribe
for, for at the present rate you may
not get in on the ground floor.

TRUTH ABOUT THE STANLEY
AND BLACK VOTE IN 1915.

So many conflicting statements
have been made about the votes In
the last Democratic primary election
held 9TH, 1915, and in the November
election held November 2, 1915, we
wish to give a copy Of the official
vote cast in Kentucky, August z, and
November 2. 1915.
In the Democratic primary held
August z, 1915, A. o. Stanley receive
ed 107 ,585 votes; for Lieutenant-
Governor, James D. Black received
9,616. The official vote cast at the
general election held November 2,
1915, A. o. Stanley received 49,
991, and James d. Black, for Lieu
tenant Governor, received 215,855.
1t is always the rule that the head
of the. ticket receives more votes
than any other candidate in the same
column. However, in Knox county,
the home Of James D. Black, Stanley.
received 758 votes and James D.
Black received 1889. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that Governor Black re-
ceived nearly twice as many votes in
his home county, he ran 4.144 votes
behind Stanley in the entire State.

tobacco field and took refuge in the
barn. They were standing in the
doorway when lightning struck one
side of the structure, killing Hollo-
way, injuring Washington and
knocking the others down. None of
the rest were hurt, however.
A small burn on the right temple
was the only mark left by the light
