BIG STEMMERY WILL
open FOR WORK ON
monday Morning
Announcement That r. ]. Reynolds
Tobacco Company VIII Open Stem
merry Plant Is Good News to
the Unemployed.

Mr.. George Ballou, manager Of the
r. J. Reynolds Tobacco Companys
local plant, announced today that the
company's stemmery will open for full
operation on next Monday giving en-
ployment to scores Of people in and
about Maysville who are now out Of
employment.
With the closing of the loose leaf
warehouses many people in this city
were thrown out Of employment and
things began to look pretty blue to
those who are absolutely dependent
upon their weeks work for food to
carry them through the next week.
This announcement, however, brings a
ray OF light and relieves conditions
considerably in Maysville. The stem
merry will give employment to men, wo-
men, boys and girls, over sixteen years
Of age, both white and colored. They
have much work on hand to be done
and there is every assurance that the
plant will operate continuously CIV
ing employment to many throughout
the summer months.
Working conditions at this plant
are as good as can be found in any
similar plant in the Southland and
when the plant is opened on next Mon
day morning, the management should
experience no trouble in procuring all
of the workmen they are needing at
this time.

FEW SLACKERS IN MASON
COUNTY DRAFT LIST.

The government is making prepara-
tions to publish the list of slackers
during the World War in the counties
where the slackers resided at the
time of drafting. Recently the local
draft board was called upon to re-
view list of posted men in this coun
W and while the list contains the
Games of some ten or twelve men who
are technically listed as slackers,
there are good and sufficient reasons
to believe these men are not real
slackers except in one case in which
a Mason county man left Maysville on
the day Of the first registration and
fled into Canada He has not since
been heard from and is listed as a
real Stacker.

A DELIGHTFUL PROGRAM.

The Easter meeting of the Kings
Daughters was, from start to finish,
greatly enjoyed by all present. The
offering of money was large and every
cent given was the result of self-sac-
rifice during the past Lenten season.
Miss Gill, the gracious hostess, was
ably assisted by Miss Duke, lady of
rare loveliness of character and an
ever welcome visitor to our little city,
her former home.
A novel and appropriate feature of
the meeting was candy egg contest,
introduced by the hostess, which caus
cd much merriment and prolonged the
pleasant time. Delicious refreshments
were served and the going home hour
came all too soon.

PROHIBITION IS MOST
VIOLATED OF LAWS
Judge Kerr Says Prohibition Is the
Most Violated Law In
Nations History.

Lexington, KY, April 5. - Prohibi-
ton so far has failed to bring any
marked reduction in crime Judge
Charles Kerr, Fayette Circuit Court,
declared Monday in charging the
grand jury.
Some time in the future, there may
be reduction" the Judge said, but
it doesn't exist now. There is some
reason for It. There never was law
so much violated as the prohibition
law. Men violate the prohibition law
who couldn't be induced to violate any
other law.
"Men who never took drink be-
fore in their lives will 60 further to
get one now than they would to escape
the penitentiary.
zone law, If thus violated, breeds
violation of other laws. Think OF the
murders and manslaughters you know
have been committed in this country
through violation of the liquor laws =
The Judge declared the state courts
have jurisdiction In violations OF the
prohibition law and told the jury vio-
lations should not be shifted to the
Federal courts.
The jury was also directed TO IN
vestigate the parking Of automobiles
wifi curtains up, on the county roads
"The automobile industry this
spring is Just little livelier than 1t
ever was BEFORE" he said. There Is
hardly a road where any number of
automobiles are not strung out"

FAYETTE COUNTY SCHOOLS
IN SERIOUS CONDITION.

With the limit of credit permissible
under the law already reached, prac-
tically no funds in the treasury and no
solution by which funds may be raised
discovered thus far, the schools of
Fayette county will in all probability
be clased for the remainder of the
term, DR.. Gilbert L. Bailey, chairman
of the county school board, announced
Monday.
Saturday will be pay day for the
teachers Of the county schools and it
will be impossible for the board to
meet It's obligations, DR.. Bailey de
clared.
Should the teachers OF the county
schools, however, volunteer to con-
tinue to teach and receive their pay
when the board is able to give it to
them the schools can be kept open.
Only by this method, however, will it
be possible to continue to keep the
schools open, Dr. Bailey declared
