WILL We HAVE ANOTHER
CHAUTAUQUA?

The Redpath Chautauqua having
been with US and having proved to be
entertainment of the highest class,
as both amusement and instruction,
the question naturally arises will we
have it again with US next year? Our
notice of last week presented the un-
pleasant fact that from a financial
standpoint the visitation of the Chau-
tauqua to Lexington was failure
but there was some excuse for it in
the fact that a previous Chautauqua,
which required and was given guar
tee, proved to be worthless-or was
so adjudged by those who saw it.
The Chautauqua Of last week has
convinced those who attended the
twice daily entertainments that when
ever 'REDPATH" puts its stamp of
approval on an attraction, it is suf-
ficient guarantee that an attraction is
not only worth seeing or hearing but
may be classed with the best that
money can buy in the United States.
1t was our misfortune to miss sew
eral of the entertainments during the
three days, but those we did see and
hear were so excellent and the reports
from the ones we missed so satisfac-
fory, that we can now say that we
hope the Redpath aggregation can be
brought back to Lexington next year.

DEATH OF JOHN B. PITTS.

John B. Pitts of Saltillo, aged 70
years, died last Saturday in the West
Tennessee Hospital, of Pellagra. Some
three months ago Mr.. Pitts was car
ried to Pellagra Hospital in Mem
phis, and about three weeks before
his death his mental condition became
such that he was carried to the State
institution at Bolivar.
The remains reached Lexington
last Sunday morning, accompanied by
the only surviving child, Mr.. M. G.
Pitts, Of Memphis, and the body was
at once carried to Saltillo for inter
ment.
Mrs. Pitts died at Saltillo less than
two years ago. One other son, who,
like the surviving son, saw service in
the Spanish-American war of a little
over twenty years ago, died several
years ago from "T. B." contracted
during his army service.
The deceased was related to the
family OF our townspeople, Messrs-yy.
d. and j. W. Wright Mr.. Pitts lived
in Hardin county, where he was a val
ued citizen and was for many years
an officer of the law fearless and i'm
partial in the performance of duty.

NUMBER 81
GERMANS GET TRADE
IN SOUTH AMERICA.

Buenos Ayers, July 2Sth.-Gcrma-
ny is winning the race fer South
American trade.
The custom house and surrounding
yards here were stacked today with
American made goods valued at $40,-
100000 to $50,000,000.
Meanwhile, three German ships,
which arrived here with almost iden-
teal goods, discharged their cargos,
saw them sold and cleared for Germa-
ny and more cargos.
The German goods sold for one-half
the price of the American product, be-
cause of high cost Of the United
States dollar.
The situation emphasized the jeop-
ardy of American prospects here
which led the United States Chamber
of Cimmerce in Buenos Aires urgent
ly invite Secretary Hoover here for a
personal investigation. Americans
hoped that such a visit, while the
Harding administration still is young,
would result in the adoption meas
ures.
While the most successful competi-
tion comes from the Germans who
benefit by the abnormal rates Of Ex-
change, English and Belgian goods
are sold here while American made
products lie useless, some of them
rotting in storage.
Some of the American goods have
lain there since the first of the year.
The custom house, with accommoda-
tions for $1,033,300 tons of merchan-
disc was filled long ago. American
goods flowed into other warehouses
and open yards.
Semi-perishable goods are spelling,
the loss reaching thousands Of dollars.
At one time 2,100 American auto
mobiles lay in storage while Euro
pean makes were snapped up eagerly.
South American dealers have
bought occasional consignments but
have come back with the complaint
that they sold at loss, while goods
from the land of the cheap mark
make nice profits.

GOOD NEWS FROM THE OLD 9Th.

The many Lexington friends of
"Old Tang" alias Adam Joyner, who
lives in the old 9th district, were
much relieved last Friday afternoon
upon the return to town OF Mr.. A. Ho-
mer Joyner, who had been down to
spend day or two in the old home
neighborhood The news had come
to Lexington that "Old Tang" alias
Adam Joyner had been hurt in a base
ball game which he was umpiring, the
hurt man requiring the service OF a
physician, and there was much con-
cern here until Homer returned and
brought the tidings that the swift ball
thrown by Lloyd Smith, hit by the gl-
gantic Rixie McAdams and lodged by
the catcher, had struck "old Tang
alias Adam squarely on the cheek,
telling him TO the earth and causing
profuse loss of blood. Had this ball
struck "Old Tang" alias Adam, else
where than on the cheek or some 9TH
en- portion of the visible face, no one
could have answered for the result,
but, as it was, the entire Joyner fam
ily and their many friends are re-
joieing because Of temporary relief
brought by any change at all in the
countenance of "Old Tang After
reaching Lexington Friday, Brother
Homer was in reminicent mood and
told of the com-catcher of a tin Liz
zie" coming into collision with the
"ca5oose' of his brother Tang" en-
the streets of Lexington, with the re-
suit that Joyner was left intact, while
the auto owner had SIS bill to pay
on a busted radiator-and further
the depoHent saith not.

VOLUME XXXNIl
THE GREAT CARUSO
GOES TO HIS REWARD

Enrico Carusc, but AZ years old,
died Tuesday, the End inst, in his ma
tive Italy, leaving in the musical
world a vacancy which no man can
fill, for Caruso was the greatest
singer in all the world-probably the
greatest singer the world ever had
The son of a mechanic in Naples, he
began singing in the churches of Ma
Piles at the age of eleven. He made
his debut in a Naples theatre in 1894,
after which he toured Italy and Sissily
and sang in all the capitals of Europe
before he came to the United States
and made his debut at the Metropol-
itan Opera House in New York in
1904. 1t is truly said THAT Caruso
loved America and America loved Ca
ruso-and here he made a vast for
tune which, with his voice was bring
ing him an income of perhaps half
million dollars a year. Money did not
worry Caruso. Last year when he
was singing in HAVANA, jewelry val
ued at 100000 was stolen from the
Caruso villa on Long Island and when
Mrs. Caruso cabled the fact to Enrico
he wired back: "Not at all worried.
Don't worry. Wilpreplace all. Don't
think about it again. Enreco, and
no trace Of the jewelry has ever been
found. He leaves his wife, who was
Miss Dorothy Park Benjamin, a New
York society girl a son and daughter.
II is sad for the world to lose the
greatest of anything it possesses
and such a loss it suffers in the unex-
pected death Of Caruso, who but re-
Gently went back to his Sunny Italy.

CRAP GAME FLUSHED MONDAY.

Last Monday just before noon Sher-
iff Wright, six deputies and Town
Marshal J. w. Knowles flushed a big
bunch of crap shooters, over by the
cemetery. but unfortunately but two
Will Bell Burton and Lester Veal
were captured out of possible fif-
teen or twenty. One man in the raid
said the men caught told of another
bunch of crapshooters just over the
hill-and there was also said to be a
poker game in progress nearby. The
reason for the escape of so many was
the fact that the shooters had moved
their games from the place they were
accustomed to play. Let the good
work 20 on until men who are willing
to earn their living by the sweat Of
their brow shall take the place Of the
crap shooter in and around Lexington
and by the way, in this occasion
the perSonel of the game was said to
be madeup of white folks and niggers.
