Ice Goroes.

Ice Goraes.
The rains of the past two days
caused the ice to go out of little Paw
Paw creek. 1t gorged and damaged
the bridge, leading to the school
house, so that II HAD to be removed.
The ice is piled high on either bank
OF the creek and covers the road on
one side. The bridge was not safe at
noon and many parents accompanied
their children to school. The ice also
went out Of Big Paw Paw creek last
night about eleven o'oolck but did not
cause any damage.

The heavy rains we have been hav- ing during the past few days are very discouraging to our rice growers It seems that when they get every thing in readiness for sowing rice a rain comes and causes a delay. It has been the expectation of the grow CTS to greatly increase the acreage this season but the untimely wet weather has so put them out that they will do well to get in an average acreage. The new plants that have been put in during the past winter may have tendency to keep the ac- reage up to what it was last year, and it is to be hoped they will.

OF
A TOBACCO CROP
Farmers Concede This, Owing To
Unfavorable Weather And
Rust Here And There

Unfavorable weather is said TO
have been the chief cause, as we'll
as rust i'll some localities for many
producers arriving at the conclu
sion that there would be at best
but three fourths Of a crop OF to-
bacco in Madison. county this
year.
The inspection which began
with the report of the discovery
of blight, has been productive Of
reports Of varied nature. some re
porting they were only concerned
about the prevailing weather,
while others declared their tobac-
co plants have stopped growing,
and then there are others who as
sert the rust has appeared in
places and hampered the growth
of the crop.
Many stand to lose, should
there be frequent rains from the
present time. they declare. since
the plants are backward and not
showing the stamina character
izing good tobacco. Yet. there is
some who are topping their plants
some of this is said to be in and
near Richmond, the growers stat
ing the condition of plants could
no the better. 1t is estimated,
however, by many of the eXper-
fenced growers, that fair price,
and some believe very good
price, will be realized by those
who are able to produce credita-
bic crop
1t is known that the rust or
blight is not so prevalent in Mad
isOn county as in some other
counties near by, and that with
favorable weather henceforth:
there will be a fair yield. The
tobacco i'll the eastern part OF the
county is said to be what could be
considered not quite up to the
standard generally. while much
OF it will show but two-t thirds of
crop. Again. fields almost ad-
joining, give indications of both
good quality and quantity.

GOV. MORROW HITS
PISTOL TOTER HARD

Frankfort. Ky, Aug. 4 = Gov
Ed p. Morrow has laid down the
law on pistol toting" in Kentuc-
XIV. He says it must be stopped.
He issued the following state
ment:
"'rhe habit of carrying pistols
/ in Kentucky must be destroyed.
THE state has suffered terribly
in the past from this vicious, cow
Iardly and altogether indef efensible
habit. | do not intend to use the
power of the Governor to pro-
mote and encourage this habit by
lpardoning those who have been
found guilty * x but | do
propose to uphold and encourage
! the law and insist upon its en-
forcement and to deny, promptly,
application for pardons.
Pistol carrying promotes hom-
icide. 1t begets a desire for the
use of the weapon carried. 1t
makes men murderers i'll their
minds and hearts before they car
ry the deed into execution.
eff the Circuit Judges and Com
monwealth Attorneys Of the state
will stop the habit of taking fines
without jail sentences and will in
every case Of pistol carrying try
the case under the law. | will see
to it that the jail sentences are
! served on those convicted.
81 propose further to institute a
!! rigid investigation to ascertain
whether or not this law is being
enforced by those chargeable
with the law enforcement or
evaded by the system OF taking
fines in lieu of jail sentences.
"The state can be redeemed
from the disgrace of its homicides
by striking out one OF the evils
which produces the disgrace, the
[indiscriminate. carrying of wea-
pons by which human life is to be
taken.
"The pistol carrier is not a good
citizen. is not desirable and. on
the contrary is menace to good
order and to public safety"
