The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1920-12-14

haywood is actively Identified with
the agricultural interests Of Bourbon
County, owning a large amount of
fertile land which annually produce
bountiful crops, besides the live stock
raised annually on his land. He is
in the strict sense of the word a
"dirt farmer" and his long and
varied experience in the conduct of
his farming interests and his wide
acquaintance with the stock dealing
interests of Kentucky make him an
ideal candidate to honestly and effec-
lively represent the constituents Of
this great farming and live stock pro-
ducing District.
Mr.. Caywood served four years
as Deputy Assessor of Bourbon
County, and later was elected Assess
or for four years, and his administra-
ton of this important office was dis
charged with general satisfaction to
the tax payers of Paris and Bourbon
County.
For the past ten years Mr.. Cay
wood has been the Kentucky repre-
sentative of Swift & Co., pork and
beef packers, and during that period
he has no doubt spent millions Of dol
lars in payment for the great amount
of live stock purchased from farmers
in this locality.
Mr.. Caywood has always taken an
active interest in the upbuilding and
well being of Bourbon County, Civ
ing largely of his time and means for
those things that appeared advant-
ageous to this community. During
the great World War, Mr.. Caywood
was actively interested in all of the
war work undertakings in Bourbon
County, actively serving on all of
the important committees, and lend
ing every aid to the Government in
the successful prosecution of the
great conflict. His donations at all
times to the Red Cross, Salvation
Army, Knights of Columbus, Y. NJ.
c. A., and other equally commend
able organizations were extremely
liberal, as were also his subscriptions
to the many Liberty Bond and War
Savings Stamp campaigns.
Mr.. Caywood has given a great
deal of time to the tobacco interests
of the Bluegrass region, of which he
grows large amount annually. He
is actively connected with the Paris
tobacco market, being Vice President
of the Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse
Co., which actively operates three
large brick warehouses in Paris. He
is director in the Peoples Deposit
Bank & Trust Co., in Paris; holds a
similar connection with the North
Middletown Deposit Bank, and is
Chairman of the North Middletown
Graded School Board.
Mr.. Caywood is pleasing and
agreeable gentleman, extremely
popular throughout the Bluegrass
region, and his friends predict that
he will be honored with the nominal
ton he is seeking without opposition.
Mr.. Caywood's card to the Demo
cratic voters of Bourbon, Clark and
Montgomery Counties follows:
Mr.. H. S. Caywood Announces Cam
didacy For Senator.
To the Voters of Bourbon, Clark and
Montgomery Counties:
/ wish to announce myself as a
candidate for the Democratic NOM
nation for State Senator from this,
the Twenty-eighth Senatorial Dis
trict, comprising the counties of
Bourbon, Clark and Montgomery,
and to ask the voters of this district
to consider my candidacy when cast
ing their votes.
If nominated and elected to this
important position as your Senatorial
representative / promise to give to
the office the best effort there is in
interests of my constituents and to
the interests of the State at large, as
see it.
There has been much discussion
recently regarding the ACCESSIBILITY
of calling an extra session Of the
Kentucky Legislature to submit a
Fifty Million Dollar road bond issue
to the voters of Kentucky and to this
movement / desire to voice my oppo-
sition at this time. The proposition
is preposterous, and in my Judgment,
if it were submitted to the voters Of
Kentucky it would be overwhelming
ly defeated.
/ have always been an advocate of
good roads, but if the farmers and
business men of Kentucky don't get
some kind of relief from the burden
some Federal, State and County taxes
it means disaster under the prevail
ing conditions. The State and Coun-
ty tax rates have remained about the
same, but under the exciting specula-
tive times through which we have
been passing, values have been raised
on real estate from two hundred to
three hundred per cent, and we are
now paying from two to three times
as much money out for taxes as we
paid three years ago. With almost
al commodities back to pre-war
prices we certainly. are entitled to
some relief from this tax burden.
am firm in my belief that if the peo-
ple of Kentucky will elect Lecis1a-
