PLEDGES COMING IN TO TOBACCO
MARKETING CONTRACTS

Despite a heavy downpour of rain
Saturday afternoon, amounting al
most to a cloudburst, a large crowd
OF farmers and tobacco growers gath
cred in the Circuit Court room in the
court house, for the purpose of dis
cusslng the proposed cooperative
Burley tobacco marketing plan, and
to hear reports from the various
workers who have been canvassing
the county in the interest of the
plan.
The meeting was called to order
by John w. Jones, of the North Mid
detown vicinity. who addressed the
assembly in short talk, during
which he outlined the terms of the
contract and the means adopted for
financing the project. Mr.. Jones ex-
planned the change from the present
plan of handling the tobacco, which
seems to be the hardest part of the
proposed plan for the farmers and
growers to understand fully and
clearly. He was followed by Elgin
Poole, formerly Of South Carolina,
who owns large farm near Millers-
burg, and who gave some very inter-
esting information regarding the sue
cess OF the cooperative plan in Cali
fornia, which information he had
gained from a visit to that State. He
also emphasized the benefits Of the
Sapiro plan of marketing in other
lines of produce than tobacco, and
told the growers that there had never
been presented to them a plan SO
absolutely safe and sure as that pro-
posed by the Cooperative Burley To-
bacco Marketing Association, whose
officials were all of the highest type
of business men, and who were striv-
ing to do all in their power to see
the tobacco men get just profits for
their products.
Following these addresses, which
were received with hearty applause,
and every evidence of appreciation,
it was stated that Bourbon county
had up to the date of the meeting,
signed up more than 100000
pounds of tobacco, of which 1000
600 had been signed up during the
week. This represented about fifty
five per cent of the crop, and includes
about seventy-five per cent of the
acreage A number of precinct COM
mitteemen and solicitors reported

NOTED CLUB WOMAN KILLED I'M
ACCIDENT

Friends and acquaintance in this
city of Mrs. Chas. p. Weaver, oi
Louisville, noted club woman and So
clal worker, were inexpressibly
shocked to hear of her death, which
occurred Sunday night on a train
coming to Somerset. Mrs. Weave,
was one of the best-known and most
universally loved woman in the State
and had been a frequent visitor in
Paris. During the Knights Templa1
Conclave here several years ago, and
subsequently at the State meeting OF
the Federated Clubs she was amone
the most active workers and socially
was in great demand. Her death
caused universal sorrow among those
who knew her, and especially amone
the club women of Paris, who had
been associated with her at different
times in their. work.
Mrs. Weaver was making a bust
ness trip for the State Board Of
Charities and Corrections, for which
she was parole agent. She was at
the railroad station in Silversville,
on the Cincinnati Southern railroad
in taxicab. The chauffeur lost con-
troll of his machine just as an incom-
ing train plunged along. striking the
auto, smashing it into splinters. Mrs.
Weaver's right leg and left arm were
broken, and she sustained internal
injuries. The injured woman and
the chauffeur were placed on the
train to be given medical attention
at Somerset. A physician who board
ed the train found Mrs. Weaver sink
ing rapidly. She died in a few min
utes after the train left the station.
Few, If any, women of Louisville
and the State of Kentucky are bet
ter known than Mrs. Weaver, who
for many years had been a leader in
various activities, women's clubs, So
cial work and civic and charitable
enterprises. She served on many
committees having for their object
civic betterment, and also was active
in church work. During the lare
war, in which a brother and son
were fighting in the American expe-
dictionary forces in France, Mrs.
Weaver did much to keep the house
fires burning"
Mrs. Weaver, who was So years
old, was the daughter of the Rev. G..
W. Sewell, former pastor of the
Christian church, and Mrs. Sallie
Sallie Miller Weaver. Besides her
husband she is survived by three
children, Maj. William Gaulbert
Weaver, who was wounded at Cha
teau Thierry and now is stationed At
Camp Pike, Ark; Mrs. Jesse Weaver
Brown, wife of Maj. A. E. Brown, y.
S. A., stationed at Grand Forks, Y.
D., and Mrs. L. D. Kuhn, of Louis
will; brother, Col. John S. Seweil,
of Muncie, nd, who alsa fought il
the World War, and two grandchii-
dren, Jean Brown and Albert E.
Brown, Jr Arrangements for the
funeral will not be completed until

SPEEDERS ARRESTED

Inc special traffic policemen ap-
pointed by the City Council are max
ing good in their positions, and Civ
ing speeders taste of justice. Fri
DAY night Special Patrolman Ora
FeeDack arrested Herman Levy, John
brophy and D. G.. Taylor for viola
lions of the speed laws.
In court Saturday morning Lew
and Brophy were assessed $3.50 each.
while the case against Taylor was
continued until next week, owing to
the absence of important witnesses.
1t is to the credit of Acting Chief
OF Police George M. Hill that dur
Ing the brief tenure of his office the
speeders learned that an effort would
be made to curb their activities, and
1t was through his activity that the
appointment of two special traffic
cops was made possible. knowing it
was impossible for the limited police
force to properly patrol all parts of
the city, it was determined to have
the two extra men appointed, and
the wisdom of the move has been
very apparent. IS
THE. NEWS was told the other day
by an attorney that the city had the
power of imposing a special tax on
automobile owners for the purpose Of
employing and paying special officers
for the purpose of compelling an OBJ
servance of the automobile traffic or
dinances, and that it would be good
thing to have two more such ap-
pointed, to back UP and supplement
the work of the men who have just
taken Office. This matter will prob
ably be brought to the attention of
the City Council at its next regular
meeting. The people of Paris would
like to see the gilt-edged speeder3,
as we'll as those of "the lower classes"
brought to a summary punishment
for their wilful violation of the auto
mobile traffic laws. The officials
should play no favorites in this mat
ter, and should work together for
the suppression of speeding and law
violations, no matter who it hurts,
male or female, of high or low de-
gree. Let the good work go on.

THE HERALD AND NEWS

To say such things is to repeat
phrases that are ho&ry with age
platitudes which men have heard Sc
often that they make no impression
as they are repeated again and again
Yet, old as they are, they are noS as
old as the laws of God which none of
us can escape. A man may deny God
or defy God, but he can never put
himself where the law CT God will
not reach him.
The feeling for this man VINO has
gone the way of so many others IS
one Of deepest sympathy, for 1t IS
easy to understand what he suffered.
He endured in the thirty years OF
his double living more than we per-
haps can understand, bat of which
his tragic end gives some lntimatlon.
1t is tragic reflection thas the tate
of others failed to warn him, but let
US hope that his experience will not be
lost on those to whom temptat. .ons yet
will surely come.

vice versa. | do not know Of any
remedial legislation at this time to
relieve the situation. Under the pres
ent laws with the advance of the fed
eral reserve bank and the war finance
board operating under the agricultur-
al relief act recently passed by con-
gress, in my judgment there is no ne
cessity of cotton being forced on the
market. If any banks are doing this,
have them get in touch with the local
agency at Columbia, J. Pope Mat
thews, chairman, at once. If proper
relief is not obtained, let me know all
the facts and l will be only too glad
to take the matter up personally with
the war finance corporation. In these
matters there is necessarily certain
amount of red tape and delay. My
however, from the war
finance corporation is that hundreds
of thousands of dollars have been and
are being loaned to bankers and in
dividuals to take care of the cotton
situation. | believe that under pres
ent laws such matters can be handled
satisfactorily if properly taken up"

"Be Sure Your Sins

Albany {Ga.) Herald.
An Augusta banker, vice-president
ot the institution with which he had
been connected for many years, shot
and killed himself after a run on the
bank had started. Directors of the
institution had believed that inability
to survive the run was solely due to
the impossibility of quickly realizing
on the banks assets, but after the
vice-president had ended his life it
was discovered that he was short
Sl67,000 in his accounts. It IS al
legged that on one of the notes he left
he admitted that peculations had
been going on for thirty years.
| What a familiar story it is. We
do not know, of course, and may new
er know just what the first tempta-
ton was to which the man yielded,
and which proved to be the beginning
Of his downfall For thirty years he
was able to hide his peculations. For
thirty years he was continually hop
ing to be able to pay it back" For
thil:y years ne was carrying the
dark secret Of his double life in his
heart. For thirty years he faced the
prospect Of that dreaded day when
truth would OUT and the account
ing wo nave to come. He engaged
in many business enterprises not con-
nected with the bank which employed
him, no doubt hoping that success in
some Of them would enable him to
make good his shortage and sleep
once more with a conscience freed Of
it's burden.
Bank examiners came and went.
Auditors checked through the books
without finding the discrepancies, and
other officers of the bank suspected
nothing of the truth. But in the end
the inevitable happened, and bullet
put "fnis" to sad story, the like of
which has been written in human eX-
perience, times without number.
Nothing truer was ever written
! than this ancient declarations: "Be
sure ,our sins will find you out" It
may come soon or late, but it will
come. A man may deceive his fanli-
:1y, his neighbors, his friends, even
himself, but he cannnot escape the
iinexorable law that is as old as the
very conception of law-"Whatso-
ever man soweth, that shall he also
reap"

CAN NOT ADVISE

Frank Statement Made by Dominic:e

Hugh w. Roberts in The State.
Washington, Nov. AT last there
comes forward congressman from a
cotton growing state who admits that
he can not advise the producer OF cot

Representative Dominick of South

When The State last Sunday pre-
sented advice from Senator Helm OF
Alabama to the farmers urging them
to hold cotton until it advanced S75

graphed South Carolinians in con-
gress. Mr.. Dominick in reply wired
as follows:
Gam in receipt tof' your wire and
YOUR letter as to cotton situation. so
far as / know there has been no con-
certed action among Southern repre-
sentatives advising producers what to
do with cotton or other produce. II
there is, I have not been advised Of
it, and have not heard of it. l no.

carrying a statement of Senator Hef-
lin. My investigation of this article
is that those were his individual views.
certainly would not join in any COM
bination to advise cotton producers IS
to holding or selling cotton. My per-
sonal belief is that cotton will go
higher, but when I had cotton to sell
many years ago, l never could guess
the market. If sold in the fall, cot
ton would go up in the spring, and
