Heated Ar guments were Engaged in and Trouble was Barely Averted There was a very largo crowd in attendance at the meeting of the tobacco men held here Saturday to get the sense of the tobacco grow ers regarding the cutout of the 1911 crop in Montgomery County English Anderson read the call andwas made chairman of the meeting with J S Bogie Secre tary J R Hobbs was called on andmade an appeal for a cutout He was followed by George Mc Cormick who begged for a cut out for all the time saying the farmers could raise something else that would make more money A vote was again called for and those in favor of growing were placed on one side of the courthouse and those for a cutout on the other Yells were frequent for a cut out while tellers were appointed to take the vote on the resolution which was as follows Whereas the question as to whether or not any tobacco snail be grown in this county during the year 1911 has been widely dis cussed and this meeting having been called for the purpose ofas certaining the wishes of the ma jority of tobacco growers in this county upon that question now thereforeBe 0 resolved by the citizens and tobacco growers of Montgom ery county Kentucky in conven tion assembled it is the sentiment of this meeting and we believe of a very large percentage of that citizens and growers of this count o that it is for the best interests of the landowners the tenants the laborers the merchant and in fact for every business intcrest of this county that a tobacco crop be grown during the year 1911 il M Pieratt and James P Bogie were appointed to take the count Heated arguments resulted and no count could then begotten The proposition was then made to count the men at the door as they left the room but this was aband onedAt this juncture Mr Nick Hidden county member of the Burley Union pleaded for a count of fairness but there was such a tur moil that nothing could be done Seeing that further efforts to get a count on the resolution was use less G L Kirkpatrick made the proposition to Hadden that a can vass be made of the county and that the actual acreage of the to bacco growers be taken by acres and if the largest majority in acres was in favor of cutout the independents would abide by it but if the majority in acreage was in favor of growing a crop then the mon whom Haddeu represent ed should abider by that and grow Hidden made a motion of Kirk patricks proposition and stated that it was fair but the men on his side rejected the proposition mans voting against it Seeing that men on both sides were get ting hotheaded and that nothing could be done at the meeting to get the sense of the people a mo tion was made to adjourn which carriedMuch bitterness was manifested during the meeting and hot words uttered and had an adjournment not come when it did there probably would have been trouble It is said that the independents and those who want to grow a crop will hold no further meetings but will go ahead and start to raising crops while hundreds will cutout in the county The campaign for signers to the t r u cutout pledge will be continued and those favoring it state that a large majority of farmers will join their movement This will not effect the farmers wanting to grow however as one man put it at the meeting Tobacco will either be grown in Montgomery County or Hell will be raised CUTOUT MEN WEKK NOT INVITED The independent call was as followsIUVe the undersigned citizens and farmers o f Montgomery County believe that the meeting held in Mt Sterling January 14 1911 of persons desiring to cut out

to deter mine what should be done that willredound to the best interests of all the people of this county The men who had charge of the meeting say their call stated plainly I that the meeting was for those who wanted to raise and that the people who did not want to raise had no business there unless it was for the purpose of starting a disturbance or breaking up the meeting They say that wben those who want to cutout the crow had their meeting that those who wanted to raise did not attend the meeting or interfere in anyway and they think they should be given the sumac treatment Those who are for a cutout are determined to cutout and those wanting to raise are equally deter mined Several hot arguments occurred on the streets after the meeting rind it looked like serious trouble

seen at The Tabb Opera House for one night Tuesday Feb 7 It tells the story of Richard Voysin and his wife comparatively poor who are visiting their rich friends Ray mond La Gardes and Madame La Gurdas There is a son Ferdi nand La Gardes who is in love with Madame Voysin She laughs at his boyish passion A thief steals 21000 francs from Madame La Gardes All indications point to Ferdinand the son and in a remarkable dramatic scene he ad mits the theft Then follows the secondactin nanny ways the most remarkable act ever seen on an American stage But two people arc on the stage Richard Voysin and his wife the chief characters in this overwhelming dramatic gem From lightness to love the husband assisting his wife in removing her wraps pre paratory to retiring the scene develops until the wife questioned by the husband as to the source whereby she is able to buy gowns and undergarments of such costly texture is forced to confess that she and not the son of their friends stole the

Advocate at Danville Kentucky for a number of years has been making a strenuous fight against the bringing of what is j termed snide damage suits against railway companies In Circuit Court in Danville last week Judge l1J Walker threw out j on peremptory instructions the case of Shorty Jones ayainst the Queen and Crescent Route In A the first place Brady Harlan con tracted with the railway company to carry a car loudof cross ties from one point to another in the so Danville yards Harlan thent hired Jones to assist in the work Oo the first trip Jones let a tie j fall and mash his great toe Forthwith through his attorneys he sued the railway company for 1000 damages Jcdgc Walker promptly threw this as wellas other similar cases out of court In referring to this particular case the AdVOOStO sevs editorially in a current issueptoe legislature ought to pass a law prohibiting the filing of such damage suits as this one The hoary burdens occasioned by court costs must be paid by theIl IttooItj1 ago paramount causes for Kentuckys Jack of growth as shown by the Jast census In the first place such methods prevent capital from cowing into thr State andon theI other hand the enormous jury and I I court casts make high taxes To the credit of Boyle county and I Judge Walker such cases as these where the railway company is free from fault are not permitted to I occupy any more time than is ab solutely necessary The railway companies have a fixed policy o paying all just claims promptly without litigation nlCILrcss that have little or no merit are permitted to go to court It used to Ibe that the average jury would give damages against a railroad most any claim but the education awakening of this century has wipedout the old prejudice Now adays u railway company

and indicates both to the educator and the uhi lanthropist a simple means of ton ing and purifying social life at its source The practices of the Elizabeth McCormick schoolmay well be widely shared by chit drens homes and schools whether public or private The idea that delicate constitutions should be protected from contact withrnw air has been pretty thoroughly exploded among informed persons but the explo sion has not been heard every where It was demonstrated in the Chicago zoological garden that monkeys from the Ironical jungles died of tuberculosis in cages but grew fat thick furred and frisky out of doors in midwinter That it is an error to keep children in an atmosphere somewhat similar to that of a monkey cage in point of temperature and a luck of ventilation is established Nowadays physicicians know that a child which is fretful and tired out in a vitiated and overheated atmos phere grows quiet and gains strengthwhen properly wrapped up and exposed to the fresh air of out of doors Grown persons who have made the experiment know that vitality is increased andcold is not caught by sleeping with allof the windows open anti not minding the weather even when the wind does blow to reverse the formula of a once popular ditty But there are more persons who are still afraid of a liberal supply of uncontaminated and uncooked air than there are who have learned not to be If the physically and mentally defective child is brought around by making a young Eskimo of him the general health of the rising generation would be improved if more attention were paid to ventilation of bedchambers in resi dences Fresha i ir schooling might well begin like charity at home Bills for drugs and the services of doctors would be re duced and the sum of happiness and

pri nary election to be held in Menefee county was called for March 11 to select n nominee for Representative The Committee was unanimous in its belief thut a primary is the only fair way to make such nominations It can be held inexpensively 1 in Menefee county which unJer the rule recognized between the counties is to furnish and select the nominee this time and the loyal Democrats of that county with their neverfailing majority of over three hundred can be depended upon to choose as our nominee a man whom every Democrat in this district will warmly support t THE TOBACCO SITUATION Our readers will recall we recently urged them to be conserva tive in speech and regardful of the rights of others as a means of nverting trouble over the tobacco question The importance of this was very apparent in Saturdays meeting v- v when only prompt action on the part of a few cool citizens prevented a riot It would have taken very little to have caused much serious troiibjjytnd that too among men of character property and influence sictire see to have peace in our county it is incumbent on every gcfod citizen in tunes as critical as these to exert his best efforts in bohnlf of law andorder The Gazette is quite right The majority of our best people do not welcome the return of the Blue Laws Any man entertaining such narrow opinions luoks entirely too seriously on life For our part we prefer broad and liberal views accompaniedwith an occasional s nile rather than too much sanctimoniousness n The not rlrspicable is the holier than thou man The suggestion of George W McCormick that no tobacco be raised for tin thousand years is meeting with considerable favor Tile tint thing to cut out should be the idea of having any- morein mieatiigsi Comfortable Sewing Rockers This is the time
