SPIvY SUMMONED;
GAVE NO EVIDENCE

Detective Joe Spivy, who has been
in Jail here since Friday, August
20, when he was charged with parti-
cipating in the gun battle in which
two men were killed at. Irvine, was
taken back to Irvine Wednesday, it is
presumed, at the instigation OF the
Estill county grand jury, which is in
session there, however, he was not
called upon to testify and was re-
turned to the Madison county Jail
Wednesday night. He would make
no statement regarding the trip mol
his days absence from the city. II
is the presumption that the authori-
ties decided he would have to incrim
mate himself in giving testimony re-
garding the affair, hence his failure
to be called upon to give evidence in
the case.

UNCLE SAM TAKES
ESTES in CHARGE

Recognizing the fact that he was
past the serious stage and on road to
recovery, George Estes, prisoner in
charge of Henry Reed, deputy sheriff
of Estill county, when the latter was
shot and killed at Irvine on August
20, so Estes says, by Detective Joe
Spivy, Uncle Sam removed Estes
from the Pattie A. Clay Infrmary,
where he has been since the tragedy,
and placed him in Jail. He will be
charged with unlawfully transport
ing liquor. Estes and Spivy are the
only survivors of the affair, and the
result of the grand jury examination
now on in Estill county is awaited
with much interest upon the part of
friends of both men.
1t is claimed indictments will be re-
turned against both, however, the
charge of the government against
Estes will be first heard. His will
be among the cases to be heard at
the regular session of the Federal
Court here. Estes adheres to the
statement made at the time he was
seriously wounded, that Spivy is the
man who did the shooting. He has
not deviated from this accusation
since his incarceration. and his tes-
timony, it is said, will. go far towards
the conviction of tie accused detec-
tive.

TOBACCO PRICES
NOW THE QUESTION
Low Bids Disturbing Producers,
Who Admit Much of Crop
Has Been Ruined

Tobacco growers in Madison
county are learning of the reports
of tobacco sales throughout the
country at low prices and are
considerably disturbed. Their
condition is augmented by the
critical condition of their product
here in various in localities. The
extensive crop this year, or in
tended big crop, has necessitated
the outlay of much money and
the building of additional barns
and sheds for its housing. They
have been watching the markets
closely and are considerably ex-
ercised over the sales in some To-
calities, especially the Carolinas.
There is much interest center
ed upon the big meeting at Lex
ington on September 80, when
there will be a meeting of the
delegates to the first business ses-
sion of the kind by the Burley
Growers Association. Headquar
ters have been opened there and
a number of representatives have
been covering the field, feeling
out the producters. There has
also been campaign on for
membership. which, it is said, has
been productive of great results,
owing to the unsettled condition
of affairs pertaining to tobacco
here and elsewhere. The meeting
will be productive of reports from
the wide area represented by the
association, which covers portions
of Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and
West Virginia. They will hear
the eoncensus of opinion regard
ing the disposition of the produc-
tion this year. There will be 9TH
er matters pertaining to the per-
fecting of the big organization,
which has been organized in the
interest of the grower. The re-
suit of prices being. offered in the
various localities in both this and
other states has been that some
have decided to curtai1 the crop
next year. Bourbon county in
Kentucky is ne of them 1t may
be decided by the growers, who
are working hand in hand, to cut
out at least so per cent of the
production
There is much. of the present
crop going to waste it is claimed,
for various reasons. Much was
cut green, owing to the effect of
the rust, and great quantity has
rotted since being placed in the
barns. Many have been crowded
for room and it is said by some
that they crowded the storage
houses to such an extent that
much of the tobacco had decayed.
Other has burned, while others
report that the weed was cut too
green, and not properly cared for
after it had been placed in the
sheds.

WILL MAKE NO CHANGE
IN THE FORD MOTOR CARS

Official information from headquar-
ters of the Ford Motor Company is to
the effect that the rumor regarding
a new model car, which has been go
ing the rounds of the press, is false,
and the statement is refuted by in
formation emanating from local deal
ers also, who state they have been no
titled officially that there will be no
new model launched and there is none
under consideration at the present
time. While there may be minor
changes from time to time, the 1920
1921 production figures are based on
the present car. The local represen-
tatives of the Ford Motor Company
give out information to the effect that
there are no changes contemplated.

MADISON HAS 1 OF
SYCAMORE GROVES
American Audubon Society TAX
ing Pictures and Record of
Remarkable Trees Here

The remarkable fact that there
are but five sycamore groves in
America is none the less more or
less remarkable than the fact that
one of these is in Madison county,
located in the immediate vicinity
of Boonesboro Beach.
The. American Society, which
has been paying special attention
to the American Audubon So
ciety, has been paying special at
tention to the trees as we'll as the
birds of the United States dur
ing the past five years, and the
extraordinary scarcity of the
sycamore tree has attracted wide
spread attention.

ficial representative and investi-
gator and recorder, is at Boones-
boro IN the interest of the society
and will remain for a period of
ten days for the purpose of study
ing the trees and there will be
an interesting account of them
made for the National Society
as we'll as the American organiza-
ton which has the matter at in
terest.
Pictures of the grove as we'll as
the Individual trees will be taken
a record of their growth, condi-
ton, etc. will be made. This will
be forwarded to Washington for
the benefit of officials now at
work on the record, as well as for
future reference.
The genuine sycamore has an
extensive and interesting histry.
1t is said to be of the black null
berry or fig tree AN -dperhaps of
Semitic origin. The sycamore or
sycamine, as 1t is known in some
countries and in scripture. is said
to be found in Egypt and Syria.
and is one of the oldest of Amer
ican known woods, it is 5 aid, and
was at one time very extensive
and valuable However. in later
centuries it has been decreasing
its appearance, while it is a we'll
known wood has been so abrupt
that there are but five small
groves to be found IN America IS

effective, he is said to have drawn a
revolver and fired several shots.
There is reason to believed, upon the
