NUMBER So
PARAMOUNT PLAYERS
HERE ALL NEXT WEEK.

The coming of the Paramount
ployers will prove quite an event in
the amusement annals of Lexington.
For the past quarter of a century the
name of Russell has stood at the top
in all outdoor amusements. Coming
to Lexington this season with what
is considered by all critics to be the
very best dramatic company play
ing under canvass in the entire South
they are assured of royal welcome.
Presenting all high-class royalty
plays, with the very best in vaude-
vile between acts, this company
gives performance that pleases all.
No band is carried this season, but
a complete jazz orchestra.
The Russell show gives its per-
formance on the stage-not in the
street.
The opening play will be Little
Peggie O'Moore" and is one of the
prettiest 4-act comedies ever pre-
sented by company of this kind.
The large water proof tent will be
located on the Boswell lot and the
ladies will be admitted free Monday
night. This means one lady and
gentleman or two ladies for one
ticket, Monday night, upon payment
Of the cents war tax-but only one
free with each paid adult ticket. ."

1853 KILLED IN STORMS
IN THE SOUTH,

A series of tornadoes which swept
Southern States last Tuesday before
noon, is reported to have killed 169
persons and caused a property loss
which ran high but impossible to es-
innate.
In Mississippi some fourteen eoun-
ties were swept, killing over 100 peo-
pie Meridian and Aberdeen suffer-
ing most, each losing 21. Five Ala
bama counties suffered Is deaths
and eighteen in Madison county and
twenty in Marion. In Tennessee there
was one death in Williamson county
and two in Maury. Communication
with many Of the visited districts was
almost cut off, but at first it was re-
ported that two Mississippi towns,
Rose Hill and Ingomar, were COM
pletely wiped out. When the storm
crossed the Tennessee line it still had
fore sufficient force to do much dam
age to farm buildings. orchards and
forests, but only three deaths were
reported.

GETTING READY FOR
q THE INEVITABLE.

We stepped across the hall the 9TH
ef DAY and told Cicuit Clerk John
Scott that his friend Jess Littleton
was expected to soon make announce
ment as candidate for governor.
John said Maybe not" at least not
until Jess hears from the women. "
John said further that our townsman,
Hon. 7. A. Lancaster, is in the same
fix in the event he runs for the gu
bernatorial nomination-better make
good with the women. Bill McPeake
who was present, said he was arrang-
ing to organize class in tatting, cro-
cheting and such like, for males only,
to prepare boys and young men for
their future duties as citizens. Bill
says he knows how to "tat'-which
indicates that he was henpecked be-
fore the fair ones were given the bal
lot. 1t is pretty generally agreed
in the courthouse that female suf
frage is an accomplished fact-and
that we had as well as make the best
of it.

EXTRACTS FROM THE TALK
OF GORDON BROWNING

The following extracts were taken
from the talk Of Capt Gordon Brown
ing, delivered to the American Le-
gion in Lexington, Tuesday night:
"Those who prospered during the
war do not hesitate to flount their
wealth in the, face Of the ex-soldier."
Congress continues to investigate
peace. II Is the first time that ! have
ever known Congress 70 inve,figate
war after it was over
"A man can't belong to the Ameri-
can Legion without being a better
man and citizen" ~
"The American Legion is seeing to
it that the crippled and disabled SOL
diers do not suffer, and are not neg
lected."
"The American Legion stands for
law and order in every town where
a Post is established"
Every other nation on earth has
recognized the man that wore the
uniform and made satisfactory adj
justment except the United States"
IF our ex-service men get any
thing from this government we must
fight for it."
"All the ex-service men ask, and all
the American Legion wants for them
is square DEAL"
"Uncle Sam brought us back and
turned us loose and gave us $4,000
to start life all over with"
"The !. w. W.'s, Anarchists and
Bolshevists hate the American Le-
gion."
The compensation the Ameri-
can Legion is asking for the ex-ser-
vice men, would not cost as much as
three months more of the war"
1--WE who live must prove true and
larry out the principles for which we
fought and for which we left our
and friends at Belleau
Woods, Chateau Thierry. Argonne
Forrest and on Flanders Field where
he Poppies grow"

PROF. ]. O. BROWN
BACK AT THE HELM.

The County High School Board, q
its meeting last week elected the
High School Superintendent and
three others Of the force of teachers
and later will fill the place Of teach
er of Domestic Economy, to succeed
Mrs. H. A. Powers, who retires.
Prof. ]. o. Brown, who served for
twelve years here up to the beginning
Of the 1919-20 term, and under whom
the high school system of the county
was built up, was again elected the
head of the High School and after
him, in succession, Misses Fay Hous-
ton, Miss Ruth Houston and Prof.
Luther Bobbitt were elected, leaving
untitled only the place of the teacher
of Domestic Economy.
Some other shift will have to be
made by the High School Board and
the contractor, Mr.. Cole, of Paducah,
in order to expedite the erection of
the building, for it has become known
that the kind of brick stipulated to
be used in the outside course can not
be had for four months.

HANDLE FACTORY AT
HUNTINGDON BURNS

Huntingdon, Tenn, April 14.-The
handle factory owned by Porter &
Francisco burned Monday night, the
loss being estimated at something
like $4,000, with only small insur-
ance. The main building was COM
pletely destroyed and one shed con-
tanning manufactured handles esti-
mated at about 5000 or 5000. One
shed and the office and blacksmith
shop were saved.
The fire was under great headway
when discovered and it was some time
before the water could be turned on,
making the loss heavy one. Porter
& Francisco had purchased the fac
tory about two months ago from ].
H. Shannon. They expect to rebuild
at once.

THE FLIGHT OF SUGAR.

The last rise in the price of sugar
hit the people unawares. They had
been buying at Is to 20 cents the
pound when the rise came and the
price boosted at once to 22h to 25
cents. Now they tell us the price is
80 cents and there is no telling where
it will stop. Sugar has become a ne
cessity and It is pity that the price
should be so advanced unless there
were more cause visible for it. The
dealer ought TO be considerate for
others. Sugar bought at 27 cents the
pound and sold at 80 cents, the dealer
handling a barrel per week, makes
over 500 per cent on his money per
annum. The same profit was made
when the sugar was bought at IS
cents and sold at 20 cents.

fence and success in teaching. No

ton in May.

LITTLET0N MAY ENTER
RACE SOON, RUMOR SAYS.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April 16,-
Rumors here tonight stated that Jesse
NJ. Littleton, national Republican
committeeman from Tennessee and
former Mayor Of Chattanooga, win an
nounce his candidacy for the Republi-
can gubernatorial race within the
next few days. His action was said
to be the result of a conference Of
party leaders following the state con-
vention here, and also to be a sequel
to the refusal of Chancellor J. W.
Ross of Jackson to consider the nomi-
nation.

RAIL ROAD BOARD
BARS THE OUTLAWS

With the great strike in the North
and East practically over at the first
of the week and the men who had
been led into it going back to work,
the Railroad Labor Board took action
Monday and absolutely refused to
recognize the strikers affiliated with
the outlaw union. II this strike could
have succeeded it might have been a
deathblow to labor organizations that
have respect for contracts.

GEN. WOOD ENDORSED
FOR PRESIDENT.

Tennessee Republicans in the state
convention held in Chattanooga on
April lth, elected eight delegates at
large. with no alternates, to the ma
tional convention to be held in Chi
cago in June, gave them a half vote
each and voted binding instructions
that they vote for General Leonard
Wood so long as his name is before
the convention. The delegates-elect
are further instructed to vote for
John w. Overall, Of Nashville, for
national committeeman.
The delegates elected are: Mrs.
Marshall Priest, of Huntingdon; John
j. Gore, of Cookville; Jesse H. Little
ton, Of Chattanooga; S. E. Murray
and R. R. Church, negro, of Memphis;
Newell Sanders, of Hamilton county;
Rev. ]. c. Martin, negro, of Jackson;
George T. Trotter, of Knox county,
and Daniel Cooper, of Tazwell. Mrs.
Priest is daughter Of Federal Judge
Mccall, of Memphis.
Electors at large nominated by the
convention are Samuel A. Susong, Of
Greene county, and J. w. Parker, of
Dekalb county.
General Leonard Wood will get the
vote of the delegates at large and
from at least eight Of the ten congress
sional districts. To date IL of the 20
Tennessee delegates are definitely in
structed for Wood.
A spirited fight took place on the
question Of seating negro delegation
from Memphis, headed by Robert r.
Church which involves the "lilly white"
idea favored by the white delegates
from the county. The convention
seated the negroes together with the
white delegates, thereby reversing
the state committee and the committee
on resolutions.
The platform, which was reported
by former governor Hooper, and was
adopted, declared for the repaI Of
the state utilities bill, for strict en-
forcment Of the prohibition laws, both
state and national; for the liberty Of
the press, for new constitution or for
general amendments through consti-
tutional convention, for higher salar-
les for public school teachers, demand
ed immediate ratification of the nine-
teenth amendment to the federal con-
stitution, for better safeguards for wo-
men and children who work, for an
amendment to the compensation law
which will make awards for injury and
death of workmen commensurate
with the present scale of living costs,
for immediate ratification of the peace
treaty but with reservations in num-
ber of particulars. The platform fur
ther doubts the wisdom of the assess
ment law, declares the farmers the
victims and condemns the manner of
administration undertaken by those
charged by the present state admins
tration with that duty. 1t declares
for budget system in state and ma
tion, opposes large standing army
of professional soldiers supported by
an adequate force of citizen reserves
which system is declared to be di-
rectly opposite to a system of mill
tarism.
The keynote address was made by
Congressman Philip Penn Campbell, |
Of Kansas.
Congressman Sam R. Sells of the |
First district was chairman of the
convention and welded a strong in
fluence in apparently harmonizing the
factions headed by National Commit
teeman Jesse M. Littleton and Former
Senator Newell Sanders and former /
Gov. Ben w. Hooper, who have been
