The resale of tobacco bought by
spectators on the breaks last win
ter for the price, materially higher
than that for which it was origin
ally purchased, together with
the fact that there is an in
creaslng demand for tobacco at
steadily advancing prices furnish an
unanswerable argument in favor of
the organization of the Burley To-
bacco Marketing Association.
Under the present system growers
OF tobacco are charged a commission
Tor selling. The owners of the ware
houses thought there was no limit to
their profits and engaged in keen
competition to secure additional
space. There is twice as much ware
mouse space as there is any need for
under any reasonable system of mar
keting. The surplus, if the present
system is continued, will be paid for
again and again by the tobacco
growers. Yet the. growers never OBJ
tain any interest therein for the
commission they pay.
The surplous millions of dollars in
vested. in warehouses in the Blue
grass are but one illustration of the
waste Of the present system. There
are other illustrations just as glaring
to which we shall call attention here
after. But to-day we urge our read

OFFICERS SEIZE LIQUOR IN
MANS HOME

Armed with search-and-seizure
warrant. under the provisions of the
prohibition enforcement act, Sheriff
Will G. McClintock and Deputy
Sheriff James Gibson, on Wednesday
night, visited the rooms of Wilson
Wilder, former L. & N. railroad man,
on the second floor of the r. r.
Walsh building, at the corner of
Main and Seventh streets. Their
search was rewarded by the dis
covery of quantity of liquor, one
half quart bottle, four pints and
eight empty battles. One of the bat
ties contained Baker whiskey, which
has figured prominently in the pub
lie prints in connection with recent
thefts of whiskey in different local
tiles in the State. The liquor was
confiscated and taken to the court
house to be used as evidence.
On a warrant issued before County
Judge George BattertOn and County
Attorney D. D. Cline, Wilder was
placed under arrest by Sheriff Nc
Clintock on charge of having
liquor in his possession for purpose
of sale. He appeared in Court yes
terday morning before Judge Batter
ton, and entered a plea of not guilty,
waving examination. He was held
in the sum Of $500 bond for his ap-
pearance before the grand jury at
the next term of the Bourbon Circuit
Court, to answer to the charge. Bond
was furnished and Wilder was re-
leased from custody.

THE STATE NEEDS DR.. FRANK
McVEY.

At critical period in it's history,
at q time when the State is awaken
ing not only to its Importance, but
to its needs, the University of Ken
lucky is threatened with the loss of
it's president.
DR.. McVey is recognized through
out the State and elsewhere as an
able and efficient executive, more
over a man with vision and ideas.
His loss would be lamented any
time. 1t is particularly unfortunate
now. A decision by DR.. McVey to
stay in Kentucky to complete the
work so admirably begun would bs
most heartily welcomed.

BASE BALL NOTES

Perhaps the most remarkable
game of base ball played in Paris for
many years was that at the Second
street ball park Wednesday after
noon between teams representing the
Methodist and Christian churches.
The game was remarkable from the
fact that the scorekeeper almost
had case of nervous prostration
and writer's cramp in scoring the
runs, hits and errors. The game
was witnessed by a large crowd,
who cheered both sides impartially
on both good and bad plays. Frank
B. Goodman, ("Goodie") former
Blue Grass League Star, who is WIS.,
iting relatives here, umpired the
game, and found no difficulty in get
ting his decision through. The game
closed with brilliant" victory for
the disciples of John Wesley, who
piled up total of Is runs to their
opponents 13. Considering the day
was the 18th of the month that 13
was a hoodoo for the followers Of
Alexander Campbell. The batteries
were: For the Methodists-Mastin
and Soper; for the Christians
Mitchell, Wagner and Arnsparger.
THE NEWS would like to publish
the box score and summary of the
game, but space is too limited, and
somebody might object.
The Paris Ruggles Team will
play the Mammoth Garage team Of
Lexington, Sunday afternoon at the
Second street ball park. A good
game is assured. The game will be
called at three o'clock sharp. Come
out and "root" for the home team,
and help them down the Lexington
aggregation.
The Millersburg White Sox base
ball club will play game with the
American Legion team, at Millers-
burg Hight School grounds to-mor-
row Saturday afternoon. Both
teams are in excellent condition and
expect to put up good game for
their patrons.

WOMAN KILLED BY STROKE OF
LIGHTNING

During the severe electrical storm
which prevailed Wednesday after
noon, Mrs. William Rogers, aged for
ty-three, residing on the old Bran
mock farm, on the Riddles Mills
road, three miles from Paris, was
struck by a bolt of lightning and
instantly killed.
Mrs. Rogers, with two little chill
.dren, had been in a small grove in
the rear of the house, washing and
ironing some clothes. When the
storm came up she started to the
home, preceded by the children. AS
she passed upder a small tree near
the home, a bolt of lightning de-
scended, splitting the tree from top
to bottom, and striking Mrs. Rogers
at the same time. A straw hat on
her head was torn to pieces, and her
clothing torn from her body, which
was badly scared by the passage CT
the electric current. One of the
children was stunned by the stroks,
the other escaping in safety. DR.. D.
B. Anderson, who happened to be
passing at the time, was called in.
He made an examination, and pro-
nounced Mrs. Rogers dead beyond all
hope of revival. Coroner Rudolph
Davis was summoned and conducted
an investigation, formal inquest
being deemed unnecessary. About
eighteen years ago Mr.. Rogers first
wife was burned to death when their
home in Nicholas county was burn
ed. Mrs. Rogers is survived by her
husband, j. VIM. Rogers, three sons,
Edward, Charles and David Rogers,
four daughters, Lamonta, Ida, Min
ME and Christine, all of whom reside
at home; also by three sisters, Bes-
sic Walton, Mrs. Clara Hawkins, Of
Mayslick, Mrs. Matilda North, of
North Carolina, and two brothers,
Marshall and Homer Walton, both
of Mayslick.
The funeral was held yesterday af-
ternoon at four o'clock, with SER
vices conducted at the home by Rev.
P. T. Adams, of Millersburg. The
body was taken to Carlisle, for in
terment in the Carlisle Cemetery,
where short services were also con-
Quoted at the grave.

PUTTING PARIS POLITICS IN THE
CHAUTAUQUA

A great howl has gone up from
large per cent. of the patrons of the
Cnautauqua here about one of their
speakers injecting local politics into
one OF his addresses. Patrons saw
they pay their admission fee to hear
something educational and instruct
I've, and not to be treated to the ex-
probation of some local candidates
aspirations for Office, and to cheap
politics.
PROBABLY this particular star was
imposed upon and something put
over on him. This celebrated de-
tective-orator had better look out or
some one might sell him a gold
Dr1ck before he gets back to Chi
cago.
