WILL YOU VOTE FOR HARDING
OR COX?

The answer is: You will vote for
neither, For the American voters,
even with all the fine additions to
their numbers by Tennessee's net
results, do not vote directly for
Presidential and Vice-Presidential
candidates. The forefathers had an
idea that the best scheme would be
to pick out a sort of jury, made up
of the best men of the country, who
would get together and weigh the
merits of the different candidates,
and give the country the benefit of
their profound deliberations. The
electors are placed on the different
tickets, and they always carry out
their pladge to vote for the candi-
dates whose cause they represent.
So, the names Of Cox and Roosevelt
will be at the top of one ticket, and
Harding and Coolidge at the top of
another-but their names merely in
dictate that the bunch of unkohwns
underneath have the party o. k. A
cross in the square at the top of the
column is 1.-The ideal" Vote 'er
straigh, (and girls); vote 'er
straight-then you can't go wrong
1t requires 266 electoral votes to
put the candidate across this year
and usually the electoral votes set
tie the election. However, in the
case of Thomas Jefferson his cleo
tion over Aaron Burr was decided
in the House Of Representatives.
Andrew Jackson was also the choice
of the House. In both these cases
the candidates had plurality but
not a majority in the electoral col
lege. Hays had a minority of the
popular vote, but a majority of the
electoral college, and Harrison beat
Cleveland in the same manner.
Lincoln and Wilson each received
less Than a majority of the popular
vote of the country, but each had a
majority in the electoral college.

SWIFT G. CO.'S WEEKLY PRO.
DUCE MARKET REVIEW

Creameries have generally receiv-
cd larger volume of butterfat this
week than during the same period
last year. There is a large feed and
forage crop available for fall feed
ing, and a continued increase in the
butter made over year ago is eX-
pected.
Butter stocks in storage are not az
large as last year, but year ago the
United States was exporting butter
this year the movement is the other
way-Dann.ark, New Zealand and
and Argentine are shipping butter
to the United States.
There has been no marked change
in country prices for butterfat.
The demand for eggs is good. Cur
rent production is not sufficient to
supply the requirements of the con-
sumer, and storage stocks are being
used to make up the deficiency.
Prices of fresh eggs show u higher
tendency.
Live poultry has been in good de-
mand, due to the approaching Jewish
VOLTS On account of lighter
freezer stocks there has also been a
good demand for dressed poultry.
It is apparent that a large num-
Der of chickens are now reaching
the marketing age, and with larger
receipts there may be some decline
in price from present quotations.

IMPORTANCE OF OUR SCHOOLS
10 THE CHILDREN

The week Just past ushered in the
1920-21 term for Paris schools a de-
cidedly important event in the lives
of the teachers and pupils. Business
is important; the result of the con-
test for the Presidency is important;
church and social activities are i'm
poTtant. But among all the neces-
sary and cultural activities the CHIEF
asset of Paris now is and ever will
be the splendid numbers o. its edu-
Gated children. No material wealth
can, be held to be the equivalent in
value of this treasure In the schools
and their product are bound up and
included all that progress, morality,
prosperity and happiness can mean
to the city.
The schools of Paris already are
measured r. the standard Of highest
excellence Their fame has spread
abroad throughout the Bluegrass
All our social, moral, artistic and
commercial development in the COM
nlunity life are secondary to the va,-
lie and importance of these schools.
At the beginning of this second
week of the new school year, when
the young people of Paris are maxi
ing ready for their battle against
ignorance, preparing to go on under
the guidance of competent and SYM
pathetic instructors, it is we'll that
the average citizen should realize
that he can do much to assist and
maintain the standard of excellence
of the Clty's schools. The standard
Of the schools must ever be the cri-
terion of the city's progress.
The schools, their regulation con-
duct and control, should always be
divorced entirely from political in
fiuence and authority. Moreover, no
school can produce the highest and
best work until the teacher is en-
powered to exercise in the work of
the school the widest latitude of per-
sonal judgment consistent with the
public welfare. Concentration of
power, ma Board of Education, to
so great an extent that the teacher
is but mere creature OF such a
Board, is policy which must make
for inefticiency and retrogression.
Let the Paris schools be made and
continued rea! schools, fostered and
guided by a wise Board of Educa-
ton, inspired and vitalized by teach
ers unshorn of their independence.

GAS METER IS ACCURATE

Fut 100 of the best watches
against 100 gas meters in a test for
accuracy, exposed to the same vary
ing conditions Of heat, colo, humid
ity, and the meters will win out
every time. The gas meter is re-
garded as one of the most accurate
measuring instruments in use to-
day. Like the registering turnstile
in parkes, railroad stations and fair
grounds, the meter will not operate
unless something passes through it.
The mechanism is not set in mo-
ton and the indicator hands can
not move except as gas passes
through and makes them move. 1t
is interesting to know that the
original mechanical principle
adopted in 1914 for the cor.
rect measurement of gas still per-
sists and that while hundreds of in
ventors have endeavored to discover
something better, they have improve
ed upon details only.

NEGRO MEETS
DEATH CALMLY
POOLE. is EXECUTED IN COUNTY
JAIL FOR MURDER OF BROTHER
WITH AN AXE.

At Is minutes after IL o'clock the
trap was sprung and Hosea Poole was
pronounced dead by the attending doc
tors Is minutes later in the county jail
yesterday, when the negro was hanged
for the murder of his brother The
hanging was in the death chamber of
the Jail and only few people were
admitted to the scene on account of
the smallness Of the room.
After the death mask was placed
over the negro's head he said Goodbye
world, I have made my peace" and
the trap was sprung as the last word
was uttered. The negro was COM
posed and went to the fatal place
quietly and at no time showed the
slightest fear Of meeting his death.
The courtyard was crowded and
other places where a sight of the final
rites could be seen were filled with
people who had gathered at the build
ing A short service was led by J. H.
Hall, negro preacher, and Hosea said
that he had made his peace with God
and was ready to die. His wife and
mother were with him until he took his
place on the trap and friends and rel
atives babe him goodbye before he left
his cell.
The body Of the negro was sent to
Goldtucker's undertaking establishment
to be prepared for burial Sunday af-
ternoon. Money for the final expen-
ses was collected by the preacher and
friends of the negro.
He said, in making a final state
ment, that he loved his brother but
that his brother did not have the same
feeling for him. II the experience had
to be gone through with again, Hosea
said, he would rather be murdered
himself than to kill his brother. He
knocked Albert in the head with an
axe several weeks ago and threw the
body into the bay. The murder de-
veloped out of a charge of petty lar
reny made against Hosea by his
brother
