BLAME PACKERS FOR
POISONED OLIVE DEATHS

Failure of some packers to use a
sufficiently high temperature during
sterilization of ripe olives in glass
containers permitted development OF
the botulinus germ, which caused the
deaths Of twenty-five persons two
months ago, said a report Of special
lists of the bureau OF chemistry, who
have just concluded an investfEa ton
In cooperation with the public
health service.
The poison would develop Just the
same In tin containers, the report
showed. II the olives were not suf-
ficiently processed. but as there is no
danger of breakage involved in tin,
the packer does not hesitate to APP
ply the proper degree of heat to kill
the germ in sterilization.
The investigation disclosed only
one fatality where a tin container
was involved, but this contained a
relish consisting of minced ripe
olives, the poison forming through
inadequate processing.

BY BURLEY GROWERS
Madison One of Few Counties
Not Yet Represented In Big
Organization

The organizers of the Burley- To-
bacco Growers Association began on
Monday morning on their last drive
and th's week sll hurley growing
counties with three exceptions in this
state are expected to be brought into
the fold, after which the workers will
go into Ohio and Indiana. Madison is
one of the counties not yet organized,
although the organizers were here re-
Gently.
John w. Newman, of Versailles;
E. M. Mansfield, of Carrollton; T. B.
Hill, of Mt. Sterling; A. F. Shouse, of
Lexington, end c. M. Dean, of Car
rollton, will be in the attacking force
the final week of the drive and in the
work in Ohio and Indiana.
Kansas and Missouri will be enter
ed by the organizers about November
10. Temporary headquarters will be
in Kansas City during the drive there,
but Lexington will remain the nation
al headquarters.
Representatives of the association
are now hard at work in Lexington
seeking enlarged quarters. The or
ganization has outgrown its present
offices. The Office staff as soon as thu
association is established in new
quarters will be enlarged. Furniture
and equipment have already been pur-
chmase6.
Practically every hurley section of
this and surrounding states is repre-
sented in the list of men who signed
the articles of incorporation filed by
the association Thursday.
A. F. Shouse and E. M. Mansfield
visited Frankfort Saturday in the in
terest of the organization. John W.
Newman visited Stanford to speak at
meeting of the association Satur-

All of the present organizers and
temporary officials of the organiza-
ton are serving without salary. No

after directors have been elected and
charter granted the association.

Rain BENEFICIAL;
FARMERS JUBILANT

The rain of Monday morning IS
said by tobacco men to have been
Of wonderful benefit in many
ways, and it is expected that few
will appreciate it after the long
period of fair weather, as they
will. First, they assert, their to-
bacco had become SO dry they
were compelled to close the barns
tightly. owing to the ravages OF
the least wind. The moisture
will admit of the leaves regalning
a more safe condition. The effect
upon the newly sown wheat IS
said to be of inestirnable value.
There is much wheat i'll the
ground in Madison county in fact
a much greater quantity than usu
al. Indications are that there will
be an extraordinary production
next year. Grass, which has been
abundant. will be rendered better
for fattening purposes, stock ner
claim, since cattle especially will
grow heavier on grass that Is
damp than from that which is sc
dry. Walter Park, an extensive
dealer, stated there was quite
difference in this, adding that cat
tie would not weigh what they
appear, if fattened on extra dry
pasture.

DETECTIVE SPIVY
TAKES Big CHANCE

Detective Joe Spivy, recently
held for the murder of Henry
Reed, and who was given his lib
erty. it is said, after having been
investigated by the grand jury OF
Estill county, proved himself a
hero a few days ago when he vol
unteered to go into a cave where
there was said to be an armed ne
gro who had robbed a citizen OF
Irvine and tied him to a tree
There is said to have been a call
FOR volunteers after the escape OF
the negro. The report was to the
effect that the fugitive was taking
refuge in cave. No one, it is
said, was willing to go into the
dark cave until Spivy appearedOn
the scene. When informed OF the
situation, the officer is said to
have retreated, procured a rife
and a torch and to have entered
the cave. This he searched
thoroughly, discovering that the
man had made his escape. The
trail was taken up and continues
! for some time, all of the hills anc
ravines being traversed, but the
hunt proved unsuccessful. Many
who questioned the bravery OF tho
officer previous to this experience
are said to have changed then
opinion. The negro, who robbed
the citizen, is said to have beer
heavily armed and to have threat
ed him. The work of Spivy ha:
ed him. The work Of Spivy ha'
been extensively commented rpoi
in a most favorable manner.

event Of that long-delayed pay
day as we'll as the monthly teach
ers meeting at the court house.

program and some we'll known
speakers will participate. Among
them will be Superintendent ol

gil Chapman. and others.
All teachers of the county vii
requested to be present, and those
who are not, and able to furnish
a legal excuse, will be instructed
regarding the new law which re.
quires their attendance, said Supt
Edwards, and it is expected thar
the fine of S. will be imposed
There is talk of asking for the res

refuse to attend these meetings.

COL, R. C. OLDHAM
COMES SATURDAY
Noted Democrat To Be Here In
Interest of Democracy
Among ''Home Folks"

Saturday Democrats of Madison
county will hear genuine talk from
q genuine Democrat, well known here,
where he was born and reared, and
who is one that likes a challenge
when it comes to politics, whether it
is coming or going. He is we'll versed
upon the political situation and is
ready to deliver some oratory that
will appeal to all who hear him, and
has accepted an invitation from John
C. holland, chairman of the speakers
bureau of this city. The invitation
was extended recently and Mr. Old
ham learned that King Swope would
be in the vicinity, and set his date
for Saturday night. He will speak at
the court house in the evening and
the discourse promises some sur
prises in the way Of cold facts being
presented in hot style.
Those familiar with the manner in
which Mr. Oldham expresses himself
feel assured that they will be given
treat in the way of an 18-carat
Democratic speech.
His opinion regarding the situation
and tendency to come to Richmond at
time when he felt assured Mr.
Swope would be in the vicinity, is
best explained in his reply to Mr.. No
lands letter, in which he accepts the
invitation, setting the date for Satur-
day, which is as follows:
Winchester, Ky, Oct. 25.
Hon. John holland, Chairman Speak
ers' Bureau, Democratic Campaign
Committee, Richmond, KY.
My Dear and Valued Friend: l
have received your letter of Octo-
Der %, and hasten to give you re-
ply.
l note that you want me to come
to my old home county and speak in
behalf of the Democratic candidates
on the evening of October 80. This
very kind invitation l very gladly ac-
cept. 1t will be personal pleasure
to me to discuss the issues of this
campaign before an audience of Madi-
son county people, men and women,
regardless of their faith politically.
understand that the Hon. King
Swope, Republican candidate for con-
gress, will be in the county on that
day and, therefore, l suggest that he
be invited to answer my address on
that occasion. Should he be unable
to make this arrangement, l will be
glad to divide time with any local Re
publican or with any man whom the
Republican state committee might Sc
| lect to meet me there on the occasion
This is a time for straight thinking
and I very sincerely hope that many
Republican men and women might at
tend the meeting at that time.
With every expression of personal
esteem and friendly regard, / am,
Cordially and sincerely yours,
R. C. OLDHAM.
