ABOUT DECEMBER 9
SEEMS the FAvORlTE
Time FOR OPENING
Maysyille Tobacco Board Of Trade Ii
Expected to Hold Meeting During
the First of November to Fix
Date Of Opening the Nays
Vile LoOseleaf Market.

Farmers, warehousemen and buyers
have begun to talk about the time for
the opening of the Maysville TOBACCO
market for the 1919-20 season and
there seems to be very little differ
ence In opinion on opening the market
in December this year. The post
ponement of the opening last season
until the first of the year proved to
the local warehousemen that this pol
icv should not be followed for while
there were not many farmers VINO
took their tobacco to the other mar
kets which were open from this dis
trict. there were many growers great
ly dissatisfied because they could not
have some ready money for the
Christmas season and the local mer-
chants were also dissatisfied.
The Lexington Tobacco Board OF
Trade has announced the opening date
for that market as December and as
a usual thing Maysville is about one
week behind that market in opening,
The Mt. Sterling warehouses are
advertising that they will begin re-
ceiving tobacco the last week of No
vember indicating that they propose
to open the first Of December.
While there has not yet been
meeting of the Tobacco Board Of
Trade, the great majority Of the loca'
warehousemen and buyers seem to fa'
vor Tuesday, December 9th, as the
opening day for the Maysville market
and this date also pleases the grow
ers 80 that 1t is more than likely that
this date will be selected when the
board meets in the next few weeks
to finally fix an opening date.
Warehousemen are busy Throughout
the district and report that by thai
time there will be much tobacco II
this district ready for the breaks ant
they expect great big opening abou
that time.

WAISKYSTOLENFROM
CAR IN c. & 0. YARDS
LATE LAST NIGHT
Car Broken Open at G. e. 0. Station
and Holes Bored In Barrel-Whis-
key of Much Value Is Stolen
Police on the Trail.

A car of forty barrels of old whis-
key was loaded at the Pogue distillery
Just below Maysville late Tuesday af-
ternoon and moved to the local C. &
o. yards just below the depot shortly
after dark.
AT about $3.50 o'clock Tuesday
night the car was put into an East
bound train and it was noticed that
the seal on the car had been broken.
Trainmen made an investigation
which disclosed that one of the bar
rels of whiskey had been emptied by
thieves who had broken into the car.
Four holes had been bored in the bar
rel and it Is supposed the whiskey was
caught in buckets or bottles and re-
moved.
The barrel probably contained 20
or 80 gallons of liquor which is now
valued very highly and at prices
which some have placed on it the liq-
uor was worth probably $40 a gallon.
II the barrel contained but 20 gallons
the thief or thieves got away with
about $500 worth of wet goods.
The matter has been reported to the
police by the railroad authorities and
an investigation has been started
which may lead to an arrest within
a very short time The thief or thieves
left nothing behind that could be used
by the police as clews but they have
the notions about the case from the
nature in which the job was done.

TOBACCO SHOWING
Up AS NOT very FAR
BEHIND LAST YEAR
Latest Government Estimates Indicate
That There viii Be Large To.
baccO Crop In the Nation
This Year.

The tobacco crop of the United
States, according to the latest avail
able Government statistics, will not
fall far short of last year, and 1t
seems probable that the total yield
many show an actual increase despite
unfavorable growing weather in most
sections of the country during the
summer months. Late growth almost
everywhere is said to have been par
ticularly satisfactory and the final es-
innate made after the crop is cut and
housed is expected to be somewhat
higher than the figures based upon
conditions prevailing October /.
Compared with the conditions on
September / the tobacco crop of the
country shows an improvement dur
ing the month Of 1.S per cent, but the
condition estimated on October l is
8.9 per cent. below the ten-year aver
age. The production for the entire
United States, as based upon the con-
dition October l. Is given at 1,278,062,-
900 pounds, which Is a decrease OF
95O,O00 pounds, or fraction of 1 per
cent compared with the estimates OF
+, September /, and only 61,947 ,0OO
pounds less than last years final esti-
mate, indicating a possible decrease
for the current year of approximately
per cent.
The Kentucky crop made good pro-
gress during September. showing an
improvement Of per cent. in condi-
ton, and an estimated increase in
production amounting to 1,S52,O00
pounds. In North Carolina, the Sec
ond largest tobacco producing state
the condition fell off 10 per cent. dur
ing September, but the production is
estimated as s,1ss,OOO pounds heavier
than on September 1, due to the de-
velopment of a heavy grade Of leaf
Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio and In
diana seem to have made the poorest
showing season, and the production
in each is under that of last year ol
the estimate made one month ago fol
the current crop.

the agitation was for purely political

sunk so low that now no one does
them the honor to attack them. They
are perfectly inOcuous. But there
must be target, some great interest

TALKING THROUGH HAT.

When the new assessment on real
estate and railroad and public utility
property in the state Of Tennessee is
finished, revenues Of the state will be
sufficiently increased to meet current
expenses, discharge every dollar OF
the state debt and to literally take
care Of education and highway con
struction in Tennessee within few
wears without the burden of one pen
ny on the average taxpayer, accord
ing to the statement from A. V. Lou
than, chief tax sattistician, under the
railroad and public utilities commits
sion of Tennessee.-ChI chattanooga
Times
Mr.. Louthan, member of the senate,
author of the tax equalization law and
chief statistician under that law, is a
pretty bright young man and probably
was too wise to have said what he is
quoted as having stated. If he did
make the statements attributed to
him he was simply talking through
his hat. Tennessee cannot meet its
deficit and pay its state debt without
increasing the burden of taxation. 1t
takes money TO do things enumerated
and the state cannot create money; it
must all come from the taxpayers in
one form or another If it can all be
gotten without taxing the land own
ers then why all the trouble and eX-
pense and annoyance of reassessin%
property? IT might be as Mr.. LGutEaa
says that the money will all come
from the railroads, public utilities and
other corporations, but il it does the
people of the state who hold stock in
the corporations or patrGL!ze them,
must in the end foot the bill In tko
minds of the politicians the public
utilities and cnrl0la.iala are great
and powerful institutions but the.
cannot actually create any wealth
