Madison County By Brilliant
Congressman

The presidential campaign In Mad
ison county will be opened Satur-
day, August 81, when Congressman
Alben w. Barkley, of Paducah, will
speak on behalf of Cox, Roosevelt and
Gilbert.
Congressman Barkley made a great
speech during the last state campaign
here, and delighted big assemblage.
That he will be greeted by a great
throng when he comes to Richmond

magnetic and eloquent speaker and

pleases everyone. He has played a
big part in national affairs at Wash

the Kentucky congressional delega-

CONSUMPTION OF
GASOLINE GREATER

During the month of July 276,000
gallons of gasoline were required for
operating the motor vehicles of Mad
ison county, this being the greatest
amount in the history of the city, as
far as is known, and the report shows
: decided increase over the month OF
June, when the first strict was kept,
owing to the new law. The report
sendered by County Clerk Jennings
Maupin is to the effect that mater
ial increase will be shown; however,
It is believed that a number of deal
ers have thus far failed to .ccount
-or all gasoline they have been cred
ted with. The matter is attracting
he attention of state officials and it
S very evident that there will be an
Investigation made with the result
hat prosecution will follow, since the
vasion of the law marks a very fla
yrant and dangerous proceeding. The
matter of collecting the tax due the
state for its sale is not up to the
county officials as many may suppose.
1t is up to the wholesaler, and in case
he fails to make a proper report, OF
my report at all, he is the one tax
ng the chances.
In some localities, and Madison
cou.ty is said to be no exception,
there are failures to report the vol
ume of business done in the way of
gasoline sales. just what course the
state will pursue regarding this al
eyed violation of the law is not
known, but it is limited the movement
incident to an investigation has been
under way for some time and the first
of the reported tardy dealers will
known will be the fact they will be
apprised of their shortcOming by
some state sleuth.

Apparently not bit superstitious,
but ''tough luck" was the ultimatum
of man, who gave his age as "a,
accompanied by winsome girl, ap-
parently II or Id, wearing a short
dress, claiming Augusta as her home,
when the final decree was handed
down by County Clerk jennings Mau-
pin, the point of issue being a mar
riage.
In downpour, the day being Fri
day, the 18th, the next number on
the marriage license docket 113, the
couple appeared undaunted. Deputy
County Clerk Rodes Terrill took in
the situation at once, and then exer-
cised little diplomacy, and SPARED
for time. She presented note said
to have been from her father, which
was doubted, as was her statement
regarding her age, which she gave as
21. County Clerk Maupin came to the
rescue, and refused to issue the GER
tifcate. eff that girl is over II, Pm a

left the office. "Tough luck" reiterat-
ed the disappointed groom to-be.

THE DUNCAMN0N
DISTRICT LOOMS Up

The Duncannon district, which has
heretofore not been recognized as a
very extensive tobacco growing ter
ritory, owing to the fact that the
landowners have not largely dealt in
the raising of the weed, promises to
come in for its own this season, since
it is estimated that three times the
acreage of any past year is being de-
voted to thc popular product this sea-
son. The result is that there are ma
ny new buildings in the way of tobac-
co sheds and some very good tobac-
co barns being built.
The record for the district, begin
ming on the ]. c. Mason farm, two
miles east of the city, last year was
out of the ordinary, and there are
many more acres to attract this year.
There rs an elegant new barn being
constructed there to care for the crop
after it has been grown. Another new
building is on the Thomas Black farm
to the east of the Mason farm and
this is expected to house a great
quantity of tobacco this year, since
there are several acres of very prom
Using tobacco. This teritoy last yea
produced some of the best tobacco to
be found in this part of the state. On
the Thomas and Howard Chenault
farms are scenes of considerable new
building, since new barns are being
erected there, and they have a large
acreage of tobacco also. There are but
few of those representing this dis
trict this year. The building has been
hampered by the scarcity Of lumber.

EX-SERVICE men
TO ATTEND NORMAL
Noted Athletes VIII Stimulate
and Increase Athletic Work
At institutions

According to present indica-
tlonS, there will be at least 40 dis
.abled eX-service men at Eastern
Normal during the next term and
some of them comprise some of
the most noted athletes to be
found and this, according to the
opinion OF Prof. g. NJ. Hembree,
new athletic director, will prove
some of the best material ever in
the ranks at the institution. The
new law giving the ex-service
men the free features connected
with the study may bring even
greater number of soldiers and
sailors to the city and plans are
being made for housing them
now. Conferences have been held
with Mr.. Stone Normal. in charge
Iof the local Red Cross department
who has promised every assist
lance in placing the men during
the school term. Some of them
are said to have enviable reputa-
tions i'll the army during the re-
cent war, and their instruction
land general participation in the
athletic work at the school is ex-
peCted to be highyl beneficial and
bring the standard of sports to a
higher degree than was ever be-
fore attained.
Prof. Hembree. who will have
charge of the work, has arrived
in Richmond for a stay to ac-
quaint himself with the situation.
He will map out his line of work
for the year later. and it is believ-
ed, according to his recommenda-
tions. that th,re will be a decided
stimulus in the way of new sports
introduced. Mr.. Hembree, who
succeeds Prof. c. F. Mccoy,
comes recommended very highly.
The latter has accepted a position
as athletic director at the city
schools of Knoxville, Tenn. and
will soon report there to begin his
duties.
The federal board of vocational
education has had a representa-
tive here who will also assist IN
arranging for quartering the men.

SHIPPERS DODGE
FREIGHT INCREASE
Fur Caps and Rubber Boots,
Overcoats and All Rushed
To Purchaser

Look and you may be able to see
your winter fur cap or hip boots at
the store, since there are shipments
of winter wear galore arriving every
day, and they promise to continue.
One would think this was in the Arc
tic circle by the character of fall and
winter goods arriving, but the warn
ing has been sent out, and the freight
rates are going up-thats the reason.
There has not been a time in years,
that railway freight has been as ex-
tensive as at present, and it is said
to be due to the fact that thousands
Of purchasers of merchandise especi-
with the exception of the way period
ally, who have ordered goods for Ia
ter delivery, are receiving it now.
There is a general disposition upon
the part of the manufacturers also,
who want to dodge the extra cost of
shipping, which will be in evidence
within few weeks, and it is also up
on their part that the goods are being
shipped for the fall trade at an ear
lier period than usual 1t is said that
local shipments from various parts of
the country are already as great as
can be accommodated, but there is
an unprecedented rush on that bids
fair to equal that on bargain days
at the ribbon counter.
"Get in before the advance" seems
to be the slogan, and many merchants
who ordered goods for fall delivery
are not only receiving the bills, but
are being informed that all shipments
made Immediately will be Important
both to the receiver and producer
This is an evident fact when the sharp
advance in shipping rates of the rail
ways is given consideration. The
freight yards are scenes of unusual
activity, and it is the belief of rail-
Way en- that the r,sh has not reach
ed its zenith, since there are almost
two weeks in which to make deliver
les at the present rate Merchants, as
result, are beginning to arrange for
the acceptance of tn estocks for fall
and winter, which, they have been in
formed, will be forthcoming now at

ARMY OF WORkMEN
STOPPED BY rain

The frequent rains, which have been
a boon to farmers, have stopped an
army of workers, since the extensive
Improvement and construction in gen
eral throughout Madison county, and
it is extensive, has been held up, the
second week passing without any
perceptible progress being made.
The street work in the city is but
one of the numerous Improvement
jobs interfered with, since there are
many tobacco barns in Madison coun-
ty under course of construction,
which, owing to the difficulty in Sc
curing lumber, may not be finished
until time for cutting tobacco. 1t is
estimated that two scores of large to-
bacco barns are now being built in
Madison county. Many of the struc-
lures are but half finished, owing to
the interference of the weather and
difficulty in securing material even
at the high prices.
The numerous road Improvement
jobs, which it was hoped would be
completed within the next six weeks,
to insure good weather and the com
pletion before the arrival of cold wea-
ther, are not being touched this week,
the condition of the roads making
this impossible. The workmen have
returned to the city and are taking
a forced vacation. However, they
hope to be abel to resume work soon.
County Road Engineer Baxter is be-
coming concerned over the delay ow-
! ing to the weather, since it was ex-
pected to have had a number of the
highways needing but little work fin
ished by this time.

by c. c. Ousley.
Louisville, according to one opera
