FAMINE SWEEPS INDIA.
And with 1t Goes Epidemic of Inhuen-
"a.


New York, Jan. 2I.-Famine and in
fluenza, with a death. rate seven times
as great as that which prevailed during
the plague last spring, are sweeping GER
tain sections of India, according to ad-
vices received by the board of foreign
missions Of the Presbyterian church and
made public here to-day.
Failure of the grain crop after an un-
broken drought, and conditions incident
to the war, according to reports from
missionaries, have sent the price of cere-
ais to nearly double that which obtained
during the famine in 1900, when many
thousands died of starvation.
Cloth is so expensive that making
of clothing for the poor has been almost
impossible and multitudes are now suf-
fering not only from hunger but from
cold" wrote the missionaries. "Condi-
tons are especially bad at Kodoli Miraj,
Ratnigiri and Sangli In the latter city
there were more than 100000 deaths from
the influenza. Poor people are running
their buffalo cows out to die for lack
of fodder, and old persons and young
children are now following the cows"

PADUCAH DROPS
GAMES TOLOCALS
Sundays Game Was Sluggirg Match
While Pitchers BattIed For
Honors Next Day.

The crack Paris baseball team con-
tlnued its winning streak by taking
two games from the fast Paducah
team on Sunday and Monday of this
week. The first game was slug-fest
on the part of the Paris team, win
ming by the score of 10 to 6. Moore
pitched his usual good game but
eased up enough after Paris had the
game sailed away to allow the visit
ing team to put across few scores.
N. Odom got the longest hit of the
game, triple that helped in the scor-
ing of Paris runs. Paducah used 8
pitchers but could not stop the ter
rifle hitting of the Paris "wreckine
crew."
On Monday Paducah sent Beach.
their crack pitcher who had not lost
game this season to the mound.
Beach pitched a splendid game but
soon found that he had met his match
in Belts, the 18 year old star of the
Paris team. The most beautiful
pitchers battle that Paris fans have
had the opportunity of watching in
long time followed, Belts finally
winning out when Farmer singled and
scored q moment later by some fast
sprlnting, on E. Odom's screaming
double to the outfeld.
The Paris boys are putting UP a
fine game of ball, only losing one
game on the home grounds this year,
and deserve the support of the whole
town in their future games, so come
out Mr.. baseball fan and root for the
home boys, and they will show YOU
one OF the fastest amateur teams in
West Tennessee.
Batteries for the Sunday game
were: Campbell, Riggs, jackson and
Bumbam, for Paducah; Moore and
Gueriheiser for Paris.
Mondays game which was the pret-
lest pitchers battle the Paris fansk
nave had an opportunity of witnessE
ng, the batteries were: Paducah
Beach and Lane; Paris, Belts and

All this lacked of excelling the much

BICYCLE TO PADUcAH.

John Fryer and Russell Smith have
put in claims as the original pioneers
in the line of bicycle travellers in
this vicinity.
Thursday morning a procession of
two started from Paris, fully feeling
the solemnity and Importance of the
occasion of the first trip on bicycle,
that we have any record or knowl-
edge of, from Paris to Paducah
Fryer furnished the motive power
for the expedition by attaching a
rope from his own motor driven BIZ
cycle to the "foot power bicycle of
Smith. To equalize matters, we as
sumo that Smith was the s'brains" of
the crowd.
They spent the fourth in Paducah

She was the first woman ordained

erica.
nantly attacked their stand of econ
omy in the matter of short terms
by demanding of them if the benefit
received by the few who might at
tend the heightened course would not
be worth it? She affirmed that's a
child must attend school until he is
18, to finish the graded school if he
attended the six months session. Her
final denunciation of the whole oppo-
sition was that tight fistedness and
general stinginess were the real cause
of the whole disagreement. The A.
nal vote that established the tax as
an actual fact stood FOR the senti-
ment of most of the court: that the
children of the farmers were just as
much in need of and just as much en-
titled to the very best of everything
the children of anyone else. !.
The next report of interest was
that of the road commissioner, Mr..
Hartsfeld. THE appropriations
granted are given in a following par
agraph.) One feature of the discus
sion was the suggestion, on the part
of Rev. H. B. Johnston, pastor of the
First Methodist church here, to move
the Manleyville road to cross the
farms of DR.. Perry and Mr.. Peele, of
that district. Mr.. Peele apparently
misunderstood Rev. Johnstoi's mo-
tives in the affair, and assigned DIR.
Johnston's interest to a desire to put
a farm (owned by Bro. Johnston) on
the road. At present, the farm is
entirely off the road Bro Johnston
has always expressed himself as
standing for community good. Peele
combatted several statements of the
Rev. Johnston, one being that the
distance of the proposed road would
be so rods longer than the present
road, not shorter as Johnston claim
ed, and that two farmers would be
thrown off the road, by this arrange
ment. He wasn't quite clear as to-
the community good in this. The
court voted TO maintain the road in
its present location.
In the report of DIR. A. A. Oliver,
as county health officer, he said that
there were only few small pox ca
ses in the northeast part of the ccun-
~; and only one typhoid fever case.
He advised incubation for both, in
any place where there was the least
exposure.

OF discussion at the last quarterl,
meeting of the county court, held OF
Monday, July 7th, in the county court
room of the courthouse, were the in
creased tax for schools, the report,
OF the road engineer, and health off
Ger, Mr.. Hartsfield and DIR. A. A. Oil
yer.
The question of the school tax as
it is popularly termed, was hotly de-
bated. The supporters of the neg.
ative side affirmed that they were all
progressive citizens, and anxious for
the furtherance of all that was neces-
sary for the good of the county, etc.,
but they eveidently meant to keep
watchful eye on the purse strings
OF the county, nevertheless. The i'm
mediate question was: should the
present tax nave twenty cents added
to it (fifteen cents for the graded
and country schools and five cents for
the high schooD and the terms of the
country schools be heightened frtfn.
6 months to a term of months. The
strongest constituents of the negative
side of the question were Esq. Dam
Mobiles, 1st district; Esq. Alexander.
9th district; and Esq. Simpson of Cot4
tage Grove. The weighiest Of their
reasons for opposing the raise of taxi
and lengthening of term was, that if
the months term of school was sol
poorly attended, as some of the court
affirmed, why incur the expense OF,
an added two months? Some of the
most earnest and forceful of the
speakers for the affirmative side were
Prof, D. M. Clements, Gen. j. W.
Lewis, j. M. Reynolds, J. C. Rainey,
Mr.. Barton, and Miss Tommie High
field, of the Sulphur Well Academy,
in the 10th district. Mr.. ClementsJ
former teacher and principal of the
Grove school, came from Nashville
to plead the cause o%the school chill,
dren of Henry county. Mr.. Clem7
ents' motives were clearly those of
a well wisheT of Henry county, as he
is now affiliated with the normal at
Nashville. Two statements empha-
sized by Prof. Clements were that a
school boys time is worth 5000 a
day tcShim, in school; and that in all
Tennessee there were only four coun-
ties that have lower school tax
than Henry county. Gen, Lewis, Mr..
Rainey Mr.. Reynolds, and Mr.. Bar
ton were all eloquent in the cause of
the schools. When the foregoing
speakers had finished, Miss Highfeld
literally knocked the props from un-
der" the dissenters in a series of
sweeping statements. She indig-
