ELECTRICAL STORM
HEAVIEST IN YEARS

Reports coming in show that
much damage was done Monday
afternoon by the severe rain and
electrical storm which occurred
about five o'clock. Tobacco in
some places was greatly damag-
ed, with many OF the plants be-
ing washed entirely out OF the
soil. The rain will probably
postpone the threshing season a
couple Of days. The 4yind in the
eastern part of the county blew
corn flat which will mean a con-
siderable loss. Many big trees
were blown down.
Lightning struck the stceple
and tore off part of the roof of
the cupola of the st. Marks
Catholic church on West Main
street. This can be replaced at
little cost. Lightning also burn
cd out a wire in front of the
Dixie Inn and caused much ~,ex-.
element.
Experts say that the wires of
the Kentucky Utility Company
undoubtedly saved many build
ings from serious damage. The
electrical demonstration was one
of the severest ever known here.
The play Of lightning seems to
have jumped to the power and
light wires wherever possible. In
number Of private homes me-
ters were knocked from the
walls, fuses destroyed and other
slight damage done. In the home.

new TARIFF MEANS
HEAVY MEAT BILL
Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts,
Shows What c. Q. P. Pro-
gram Plans to Poor Man

Washington, June 28-Duties
on fresh meats and meat pro-
ducts proposed in the pending
tariff bill, if effective, would in
crease the nations meat bill
1919, 100000, Senator Walsh,
democrat, Massachusetts,, declar-
ed Tuesday in the Senate. He
was discussing the agricultural
schedule and announced that
from time to time he would sub
nit figures, Staggering in their
size, showing what an unbear-
able burden these duties ON agr1-
cultural products would be to
the consumers. s."
Senator Walsh estimated that
the duties on beef and veal would
increase prices of those commo-
dities by $237,OO0,O0O a year;
that mutton and lamb would adj
vance by total of $31, 100000;
pork by $I05 ,000,C00 and lard by
$12,0O0,000. He said the total
would be $3.H for each man, wo-
man and child in the country, or
$18.85 for a family of FIVE. The
Massachusetts Senator contend
ed that the increased cost to the
people Of his state alone would
be SIS, 100000.
The speaker argued that the
proposed tariff could not result
in any benefit to the farmers,
for reasons which he outlined as
follows:
"a tariff upon agricultural
products, except in a very limit
ed number of instances, may not
have at all the effect Of raising
the general level of prices to the
producer.
"To whatever extent it will
raise the price to the producer it
will react in higher cost of living
TO the people Of this country and
react in higher costs Of things
the farmer must buy. This was
we'll illustrated during the war.
AS the prices Of agricultural pro-
ducts increased an increase in
prices of things the farmer pur-
chased surely followed, and the
result was little net advantages
to him.
I'm an examination of statis-
tics and we'll known information
in regard to some of these agri-
cultural articles" Senator Walsh
continued, will prove 1 believe
beyond question that this sche-
dule will not met with the Sue
cess claimed for it, but will re-
suit in very serious losses to the
American people as a whole and
will impair and iniure materially
the growing and expanding ex-
port business of the country. If
this is true, then these tariff du-
ties are mere paper duties and
will be OF no benefit to the farm
er."

HOW C0NGRESSMEN
FATTEN FAMILIES

A special dispatch from Wash
ington to the Courier Journal
says: A list of more than 100
Congressman alleged to have
given easy jobs" to their
wives, sons and daughters By
placing them on their office pay
, roll, which includes the names OF
FIVE Kentucky Representatives,
was published in a New York
newspaper today.
1t created a stir at the capital.
Copies of the publication were at
a premium.
"The amount of money involv-
ed in this payroll grabbing is
S29O,364 per anum," the article
reads, 'If large number OF
relatives excluded from this tab
ulation because they are alleged
to be bonfde wage earners were
included, the total would run
much higher. 1t looks like a
splendid field for Hell and Maria
Dawes and his pruning knife"
The analysis of the Kentucky
delegation payroll is listed in this
fashion:
Representative Alben w.
Barkley; wife. Mrs. Dorothy B..
Barkiev. $500.
Representative David H. Kin
cheloe; wife, Mrs. L. B. Kinche-
loe, at $1,140. Young lady does

of the Redpath Chautauquas, ar
rived here Tuesday afternoon and
will remain here until opening
of the big seven day de luxe Charl

"We absolutely have the best

Mr.. Roberts. 'It is not Red
path enthusiasm which prompts
me to say that either" he contin-
! ued. These letters, which [ will
. show from the many cities which
have heard this years program,
speak for themselves"
Never before has the Redpath
Bureau presented such a we'll
balanced and popular program
one of the letters from Jackson
fville, Fla, reads.
"We cannot speak too highly
in praise of it" said another from
EColunbia, S. c.
Look over the program for
byourself," Mr.. Roberts exclaimed.
I"Those two plays both delightful
seomedies, are undoubtedly two OF
Americas favorites. Turn to the
Right and Friendly Enemies ap-
pear on the fourth and sixth
nights of the Chantauqua.'
People who saw the original
production of Turn to theRight"
will recognize John Junior and
William Foron who played the
part OF Mugs and Gilly on Broad
way.
Governor Brough, of Arkansas,
and Governor Harding, of Iowa,
are two of the head liners who
will lecture on the first and fifth
nights of the Ghautauqua.

be here but a splendid musical
program with Lieurance's Little
Symphony Orchestra, the Cole
gian Male Quartette, Montague

lofsky, eminent violinist, Vierra's
Hakaiians, George Imbrie, bari
tone, but entertainers, imperson-
ators and comedians as we'll. Jess
Pugh, the fun specialist, and Sid
ney Landon, the impersonator,
are also among the Is wonderful
attractions.
Everything points to the larg-
est ticket sale in the history OF
the Richmond Chautauqua. The
American Legion is bringing the
Chautauqua here this year, and is
going to put it over the top"
Many other organizations have
offered to assist the Legion in
making the Chautauqua sue
cess.
F. c. Gentry, who is general
chairman of the local Chautauqua
committee, reports a good ad-
vanse sale so far.
