VOLUME xL
AUTO ORDINANCES DISRE-
GARDED

Almost every day someone points
out the utter disregard of the auto
mobile regulations in Paris. We
have personally noted many of them.
and others have been told US by eve.
witnesses. The police are doing all
in their power to curb the growing
reckleSsness and carelessness Of
drivers, but the task is one that
that would require more men than
now compose the force.
One of the most fragrant and fire.
quently-violated provisions of the
ordinances is that which forbids
drivers leaving their machines
standing, with engine running. This
is violated every day. The driver of
q big oil truck drew up in front of
the postcffice one day last week, and
went in TO transact some business
with Uncle Sans men, leaving the
engine of his machine running. In
some way the machine started off of
its own accord, and ran acreSs the
street, crashing into an iron fence in
front of the home of William Clark,
on Pleasant street, before it could be
stopped. The driver, hastily sum-
moned by a colored man who had
seen the machine start off, ran after
it and succeeded in stopping it af-
ter it had run into the fence. Had
there been children or even grown
people in the path they might have
been killed or seriously injured. A
little carelessness may yet cause the
death or manning of some innocent
person.

Frankfort Reformatory on similar
| charges, and one year from Win

PRISONERS MADE. ALCOHOL.
FROM CORN BREAD

At Henderson. Jailer Bob Davis
found crude but complete moon
shine still in the Jail, being operat-
ed by seven white prisoners. The
still was made from coal oil can.
with a small can underneath to hold
the fire. The men had distilled more
than a pint of white mule" from
sour cornbread.
For siphon they had torn up a
new disinfectant spray and inserted
it in the top of the coal oil can to
allow the Juice to run into a tin
can Fire was made from torn-up
blankets in the can underneath.
and it was the rag smoke that led
the jailer to make the discovery.
For several days past the white
prisoners had complained they were
not getting enough cornbread. Elk
ira supplies have been furnished
them and it was from the bread they
made the moonshine.

pole the car might have plunged
into the swift current, and the occu-
pants drowned.

CROPS IN COUNTY IN
BAD SHAPE.

Weather conditions that have
prevailed in this county for most
of the past summer and into the
present week, have been a contrib
uting factor in the destruction Of
many tobacco crops, and tobacco
men are faced with almost sertain
ruin of their crops. Near North,
Middletown the rust is a serious
menace, nearly all the crops in thar
vicinity being affected, and many
being houseburned. 1t is said that
about half the crops have been cut
or housed. Some farmers. it was
stated yesterday, have about decided
to take their crops out of the barn,
giving it up as a complete loss.
Many ere using stoves and heaters
in their barns, while others are try
ing to dry it out by taking it out
Of the barn and hanging on scat
folds. IN some cases the tobacco
rotS at the root of the stalk and falls
off. THE NEWS was told yesterday
of one Paris man who had & nice
crop Of the weed, which had been
cut and safely housed in the barn.
The crop was thought to be in first
class shape. Saturday the owner
made a close inspection, and to his
dismay, discovered that it had prac-
tically rctted. Taking stick OF the
tobacco from the rail on which it
hung, he found that the whole mass
had rotted, due to the influences OF
weather and other causes, and was
practically worthless. The same
thing is reported from a number of
other places.
In other parts of the county to-
bacco crops have been declared
worthless and have been abandoned,
while in other sections the crops
do not seem to have been hurt.
Not in the memory of the Oldest
inhabitant has the tobacco situation
in this county presented such va
ried aspect, from excellent to worth
less.
The excessive rains have damag-
ed the tobacco crops in clark
county to an alarming extent. In
nearly all sections of the county,
there is a prevalence of rust, and
many crops are almost total fall
ure from house burn.
A great many tobacco growers In
Garrard county are having difficulty
in saving their tobacco crops on &C
count of the continued rains.
Some farmers around Keene and
Troy, in JessaThine county, are re-
ported TO be blowing up their to.
bacc fields preparatory to sewing
them ir wheat this fall.

BLACK BIRDS DESTROY CORN.

Bourbon county farmers in a
number of precincts complain of
depredations made in their corn
fields by the visits of large numbers
of black birds (of the feathered
kind.) The birds pull the corn
shucks open and eat part of the
grain. The continued rains cause
the exposed corn to rot as the
moisture gets inside the shucks
where they have been opened. One
farmer near Paris said he had~lost
the greater part of the corn in three
fields from this cause.
