WILLSON Is Not the Attorney For the American Tobacco Company -Merely Acted For Counsel in Damage Suit There has been a hue and cry by Hager, Stanley and the other Democratic spellbinders, prevaricators and demagogues, coupling the name of Mr. Willson as the regular counsel for the Tobacco Trust.

There never was a more misleading campaign story, as the following explanation from a speech delivered by Mr. Willson at Franklin will fully show. He said in part: "The tobacco company loaded a car of tobacco in Louisville to ship to Chicago. It was burned by accident while standing on the tracks in Louisville, and the company asked the railroad to pay for it, aud the railroad refused and the company had to sue the railroad. Mr.

Gibson bad been for many years the lawyer for the railroad and could not represent both, and turned the case over to me. "I believed it was a good claim, and sued the railroad, and Emmett Field, Circuit Judge, decided that the claim was just and ordered the Jury to find a verdict for the plaintiff, and they did. The railroad appealed to the Court of Appeals, and the Court of Appeals of Kentacky decided that it was a just claim and affirmed the judgment. "Mr. Chinn, the Clerk of the Court of Appeals, does not claim that it was not a just claim, but if be did the decision of the Court settles the matter even for the Court's Clerk.

Davis, deceased, late of Maysville, Ky. All persons indebted to the estate are requested to make immediate payment, and those having claims against same wil. present them, properly verified, for allowance. FANNIE MAY DAVIS, Executrix. October 15th, 1907.

15-17-19 "Therefore it is settled that it is a just claim, and even Congressman Stanley must agree that it does not show a lawyer to be competent or unjust to recover a just claim in the Courts against anybody. "But suppose the Courts had decided that it was not valid when I thought it was, does any man who glories in our law that protects the just rights of all and due process of law, believe that the people will wish all lawyers to be cowards and boycott every party sued in Court and deprive any party of a fair trial in any case or any Court?" To the thousands of fairminded tobacco growers in Kentucky who are standing for Mr. Willson in his fight for a clean state government and a new order of things in the Old monwealth, it is to be hoped that none will be so blind to their own convictions, and so prejadiced, as to condemn a man who wins an honest case for any client, before two of the highest Courts in the state.

TOBACCO INSURED Plan to Cover the Entire Pool of the Society of Equity Louisville Herald. Much importance is attached to plans being laid and measures being taken for the insuring the burley tobacco crop of 1907 in the pool of the American Society of Equity by the Kentucky Board of Fire Underwriters, which is devoting considerable time to investigation of the matter. Though it will not be taken up by the Board as a whole until the annual meeting November 17th, arrangements are already be ing made by Secretary Claude Snyder. This deal, if pulled off, will be one of the greatest in the history of American fire insurance. The tobacco controlled by the American Society of Equity represents, according to Secretary Snyder, of America's tobacco crop, a tremendous quantity.

If the tobacco is insured it will put the Society in a much better position to finance the crop, as the chief difficulty in securing aid from the Banks has been the fact that the tobacco has been without insurance. This fact constitutes what is known 88 a "moral hazard," and enters largely into the negotiations for carrying the risk. RIVER NEWS. The gage marks 8.1 and falling. There are now sixteen steamship lines running out of Mobile.

The Tom Dodsworth and the Jim Moren have gone South from Louisville with coal. The steamer Alice, in a recent trip of 150 miles up Kentucky river, passed 852 boats, big and little. The heavy fogs are compelling the packets to tie up night after night, thus losing both time and money. Packets running into Pittsburgh are delayed for many hours on account of a scarcity of labor. Most of the roustabouts are making trips on towboats.

Captain Thomas L. Fandru, who has agent in Cincionati for the Monongabela River Consolidated Coal and Coke Company for three years, has resigned to engage in business for himself at Cairo, Ill. Captain Clarence Nichols, the pilot on the Fred Hartweg, who was suspended for six months by order of President Roosevelt for having run to close to the steamer Mississippi, on which the Chief Executive was riding to Memphis, is not worried. He is etill at work as a clerk. Perhaps for the first time since the war, or at least since the river has been practically paralleled with railroads, says The Burlington Hawkeye, a scarcity of river pilots is reported.

This is explained partly by the fact that the business seemed to be going into decline and no cubs appeared who cared to learn the river, which is, indeed, a toilsome piece of work, although the Government has made conditions much easier than they were before the war. It is reported that quite recently as much as $10 per day was offered for men who could work from St. Louis to Cairo, and none were to be found. An exchange states that "Interstate Commerce regulations prohibiting freight rebating by railroads has given river navigation a mighty boost, and the fact that it is an impossibility to find a first pilot out of a commission is one of the first-class indications of this fact.

B. Tomlinson, a veteran Journalist of Portsmouth, 0. The party were the guests of Captain Gurdon Greene of the Greene Line of steamers and made the round trip from Cincinnati to Charleston and Pomeroy. The purpose of the trip was to secure views of the scenery along the river which will be used in booklets and postcards to be issued the coming spring and which will be on sale on the boats and in all the towns along the valley. Mr.

Tomlinson will write a descriptive account of the trip which will be furnished the press. It is hoped to awaken the people to a realization of the beauties of the river, and the advantages of river travel, especially for pleasure. The past season has shown an increased patronage in this respect and the coming summer season promises to see a still much larger increase. Mr. Tomlinson is well known in Maysville and was formerly a resident of Ripley and pablisher of The Bee.

A HARD STRUGGLE. Many a Mayeville Citizen Finds the Struggle Hard. With a back constantly aching, With distressing urinary disorders, Daily existence is but a struggle. No need to keep it up. Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you.

Maysville people endorse this claim: Mrs. Mary Thomas, 204 Limestone street, Maysville, says: "I am only too pleased to confirm the statement I made in the spring of 1900 recommending Doan's Kidney Pills, after they had relieved me of backache and other symptoms of kidney trouble. During the years that have elapsed. since I made that statement I have had occasion to give Doan's Kidney Pills a further trial and I have found that it requires only a few doses to ward off attacks of kidney trouble. I can also point to the case of my boy, twelve years old, who at the time I first used Doan'e Kidney Pills was troubled a great deal with weakness of the kidneys and could not control the secretions properly.

I gave him Doan'e Kidney Pills and improved rapidly under their use. The relief he found has proved lasting and from his experience and mine I am certainly warranted in recommending Doan's Kidney Pills." Forsale by slidealers.

Salts, castor oil, and nearly all the patent tablets and pills sold as cathartics and laxatives have a dangerous effect upon the digestive organs. In time, strength is regained but not before great danger is done to the tissues of the bowels and intestines. Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is not like any other physic you can take, because instead of weakening the intestinal muscles, it gives them strength sufficient to voluntarily perform their functions. Dr.

Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, unlike other remedies often taken for stomach disorders, does not create a habit which makes it necessary for the patient to continue its use. Physics that leave you weak, that cause you to perspire, and to feel nervous invariably do great harm. You never experience any such unpleasant and dangerous sensations from taking Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It is a pleasantly palatable remedy which never causes griping and in all cases of constipation, indigestion, dyspepsia, gas on stomach, and all other disorders arising from ailments it quickly and permanently cures.
