KEMAL DEFES
THE ALLIES IN
ANSWER To NOTE.
Turkish Leader Answers British Com
municaticr That He Does not Rec
ognize the Neutral Zone Of
the Dardanelles.

Constantinople, Sept, %. - Mus
tapha Kemal poured his legions into
the neutral zone today in defiance of
the allies.
Kemal, leader Of the Turkish Ma
tionalists, notified Sir Charles Haring-
ton. British ommander-in-chief, that
he did not recognize the neutral zone
of the Straits of the Dardanelles.
Constantinople is menaced by the
latest move of the Turks. The Kemal-
lists, already intranched not far from
the British position in the Chanek
area, are concentrating forces as
lsmid, the key to Constantinople.
The latest concentration is viewed
here with the greatest alarm.
The population is more panicky than
ever as the reports of the advance of
the Turks poured in.
1t was believed the allies may be
forced to abandon Constantinople IL
the Kcmalists advance on the city.
Authorities here are doing their ut
most to prevent an uprising of the
popula ion.
Every Turk is soldier" and it is
feared that they would all spring to
arms if Kemalist advance over the
straits were started.
With the Turkish military concen-
tration at the very gates of CONSTANT
nople, the situation in the Chanek
area at the other side of the sea Of
| Marmora grew more acute.

FIFTH WARD RESIDENTS
STRONGLY PROTEST
Very Strong Protest Lodged By Fifth
Ward Residents Against Pro-
posed Redrying Plant,

The proposed re-drying plant of the
hurley association II placed where the
promoters anticipate. namely, the Cen
trail warehouse, will be located in one
Of the best residence parts Of the city.
We understand strong petition has
been presented to some of the local
managers by the citizons living near,
but this petition was completely ig-
nored. In the face OF this, we feel that
the citizens in this neighborhood
should have the cooperation OF the
city officials and that the city council
should at once look into this matter
and act in the interest of the greater
number of property owners and tax
payers who take pride in the up-keep
and good appearance OF their homes
and surroundings.
We would also call to the attention
Of the school board the fact that the
proposed place for the operation of
this redrying plant is very near the
"oiu bShOOl Nlo
and pupils will necessarily have to in
hale the dust and fumes arising daily
from the tobacco as 1t is handled
through these machines.
Every one who has been about these
tobacco redrying plants know how ter
rible these odors are.
or course, the people living in this
ward have the interest OF the city and
the welfare OF the hurley association
at heart and only ask that this plant
be placed 80 as not to injure their per-
sonal property and cause any discom-
forts, but It seems that a much more
suitable location could be found in the
tobacco district proper along with the
other rcdryers.

FORMER LOCAL man
Slayer Of william ID. Auxier Pleads
Unwrltten Law Before Ohio Jury
and Is Cleared-Hls
Story Told.

Burnal Sparks. who slew william D.
Auxier, former Mason county tobacco
and stock dealer, was cleared by u Jury
at Batavia, county seat of Clermont
count, Ohio, last week. he having Of
tered as his plea the unwritten law.
Sparks is now in Bracken county,
his native county, and the Bracken
Chronicle tells the following interest
ing story of the AFFAIR from Sparks:
Mr.. Sparks says he had been ten
ant OF the Auxier farm, this being the
second year, and that trouble arose
over a matter that he did not care to
discuss, but that Auxier made n num-
Der OF threats to various people that
he intended ito do Sparks up" and
that Auxier made himself generally
obnoxious around the Sparks home.
Mr.. Sparks saws that as soon as he
reached the barn that the elder Auxier
commenced TO abuse him, threatening
to beat him, and that both he and his
son picked up rocks TO hit him with.
Mr. Sparks says that he began to back
toward his house, about $50 feet from
the barn. both Auxier and his son fol-
lowing him. When he reached the
house. Mrs Sparks and children we're
standing in the front, and both men
threatened TO throw in at him while he
was standing directly in front Of his
family
Mr.. Sparks says he reached into the
front room and picked up shot gun
and laid It across his arm, pointing in
the general direction OF Auxler and
his son. Sparks continued to back
away from the two men, going in the
direction OF the barn. hoping to reach
II in advance OF the Auxiers. but was
prevented from doing this. Auxier told
his son TO hit Sparks with n rock,
young AuXier throwing missile at
him and In attempting to dodge 1t
Sparks slipped in n little hollow. and
by the time he got Strengthened up,
Auxier, Sr., was standing within ten
feet of him. with his arm drawn back,
ready to strike him in the head with a
large stone, Sparks says he turned the
barrel OF the gun toward his enemy
and pulled the trigger, the load strik-
ing Auxier in the hip. causing an in
Jury from which he died twelve days
later.
Mr.. Sparks says that he made every
effort TO keep from having trouble
with Auxier. realizing that he could
not AFFORD TO have trouble with the
man on account OF his family, also the
fact that he had n growing crop and
had no money 10 employ lawyers, and
that he overlooked a number OF acts
committed by Auxier that he would
not have done had be been otherwise
situated.
Mr.. Sparks was ably defended by
Ell Speidel and Chas. White, and he
says the audience showed is approval
when the jury returned its verdict
Mr.. Auxier was n former resident OF
Mason county. and left his wife and
six children. He owned two farms

Mr.. Sparks had a number OF char

previous good character.

RAINS over The STATE
HELPFUL To LATE CROPS
Crop Report Indicates that Conditions
are Favorable for Tobacco Harvest
And the Growing of Late Crops.

Summary Of weather and crop con-
ditions in Kentucky for the week end
ing Tuesday, September 26, 1922, fol-
lows:
Moderate to heavy rains over most
Of the state the first of the week
caused much improvement in such of
the late crops as had not matured. The
greatest improvement was in late po-
tatoes, which are fair to good in some
northern counties; principally the
gardening districts near the larger cit
les. The growth of potatoes has been
so delayed by drought, that a consid-
cradle part of the crop will need three
weeks yet for. maturing. There was
also improvement in late corn and to-
bacco in the northern counties, where
the condition of these crops is fairly
good. They have generally matured in
the southern counties, where most OF
the tobacco has been housed and corn
cutting is far advanced. There is con-
| siderable tobacco still in the field in
the northern hurley district The
weather continued favorable for cur.
ing tobacco, and for drying corn in
shock; also for harvesting cowpea ant
alfalfa hay, which is nearly completed
The quality Of this late hay is gener.
ally excellent, but the yield was cur.
tailed by the dry weather. Good pro,
gress was made in filling silos. Gras:
was started by the rains, and pastures
are somewhat better; but more rair
is needed in all sections, especially the
hilly districts. Flowing and preparing
soil for fall seeding made fair progress
but the ground is still too dry il
many localities. Further rain is need
ed at once to prevent this work from
being unduly delayed. Some rye, sow1
for cover crop, is coming up since tn,
rains. Very little wheat has been sow1
as yet. Gathering and marketing O
pears and apples continues under fa
vorable weather conditions.

DETAILS OF THRIFT
PROPOSITION offered
SCHOOLS BY BANK
State National Banks Proposition on
Thrift Campaign In Public
Schools Explained by
the Bank.

As we continue to hear expressions
Of interest In thrift instruction among
our children, and approval Of its be-
ing handled in a systematic way
through the schools, we feel that the
general public would like to know the
details of the proposition offered to
the Mason County Schools and the City
of Maysville Schools.
Our plan briefly is as follows:
~ To furnish all equipment needed
by the schools. Deposit slips and pass
cards to be printed to read, Deposit
ed with Mason County School Savings
Association" Name of installing bank
does not appear on any printed matter
distributed in the schools.
(2) In installing, to supply repre-
sentative Of the bank who will go to
each school and explain the details of
the system to the teachers and give
whatever assistance the teacher may
ask in receiving deposits and making
out pass cards. This assistance to be
concluded when the respective super
intendents of schools consider the
teachers we'll enough versed in the
work for 1t not to be hardship.
| 90 Interest of the children to be
stimulated by short talks by the rep
resentatlve along general lines of
thrift, in which the name of the in
stalling bank is not to be mentioned
directly or indirectly.
"a The time consumer in (2) and
(S) to meet the requirements of Ken
lucky Statute, No. 1869, d-2, requiring
a minimum OF fifteen minutes a week
for the teaching OF thrift in the COM
mon schools.
90 Any amount from five cents up
may be deposited.
| (6) Method Of sending money to
bank to be worked out to suit princi-
pals OF various schools.
| (O Interest to be paid at the rate
OF 3 per cent. when the pass card is
filled, or when the account is with
drawn, provided it has reached the
amount Of $1,000.
(s) Withdrawals, naturally, will be
discouraged but may be made at any
time, provided the parent, or guardian
will o. X. the withdrawal slips.
| (9) The installing bank assumes all
responsibility for errors or loss OF
money by the teachers.
| A comparison OF various systems In
operation throughout the country has
convinced us that the one proposed is
the least complicated and the most
satisfactory from every viewpoint.
While the School Savings System is
an innovation for this community
many bankers and schoolmen through
out the United States testify to its ex-
cellen results, after a continuous trial
for long periods of time. The follow
ing letters are characteristic:
Logansport, Indiana.
| The State National Bank,
| Maysville, Kentucky,
| Gentlemen
This system was started in ouI
schools for the purpose of encouraging
the pupils to form the thrift habit
which every one must know is a very
good thing in these days of wild ex'
approves of it, and every parent with
the good of their children at heart en-.
courages the practice. All our banks
look upon the system as a very goot
step in building up a citizenship worth
while. You cannot go wrong in en-
couraging a step like this.
