DIR. HUMPHREY, of Louisville, in his dis
course on Henry Clay, gives the following
striking facts:
Mr.. Clay was admitted to the Court of APP
pcals of this State, in October, 1909. During
the period of his professional life ten Judges
of that Court have died-Mutcr, Todd, Grun-
dy, Edwards, Tremble, Logan, Boyle, Clark,
Mills, and Rowan. At that time Mr.. Garrard
was Governor of the State. He and eight Of
his successors are dead-Greenup, Scott,
Shelby, Madison, Affair, Dcsha, Breathitt, and
Clark. Hundreds of his professional brethren
have fallen at his side; among those Of his
own generation we may name Blcdsoe, Barry,
Breckenridge, Davis, Innis, Nicholas, and
Pope.
At the time VIC have taken as the COM
mcncement of Mr.. Clay's public life, Gen.
Washington was living. Now, not only
Washington, but nine of his successors are
dead. lie entered the Senate of the United
States in 1906. The President, Vicc-Prcsi-
dent, all the Secretaries, all the Judges of the
Supreme. Court, and nearly all his fellow Sc
majors of that day are dead. OF those who
have from time to time served with him in
the Congress, what crowds of eloquent and
accomplished men, young and old, have pre-
coded him into the eternal world
In 1914 he negotiated the Treaty of Client.
His colleagues, Adams, Gallatin, Bayard, and
Russell, are all dead.
In 1924 he was candidate for the Presi-
dency, with Jackson, Adams, and Crawford.
In 1888 he was again candidate with Jack
son; and, in 1874, yet again, with Polk
These, his competitors, are all dead.
In 1925 he became Secretary Of State.

sident, Barbour and Porter, the Secretaries of

our feeling Of loyalty to the constitution framed
by our fathers, for the leading purpose of form
ing a more perfect Union. Let that constitution
be permitted to perform its functions, in tho
spirit and to the extent intended by its trainers,
md can see no limit to the duration or to the
greatness Of this mighty nation. But unless this
be done, see great reason to fear for the perma-
neney of our institutions. Let but the barriers
Of the constitution be broken down, and yon
may as well strive to stop the mad waters Of Nj

into the vortex below, as to curb the tumultuous
passions which would agitate this great people
from one extremity of the nation to the other.

Let it be remembered, too, that the Con-
yention of Southern Planters meets at the
same time. We have already published
the list of delegates, and we earnestly call on
such, where at all convenient, to attend.
The prospect is that all the Southern States
will be represented, and matters discussed of
vital interest to the whole South, and that
by men of eminence and rank. We would
like to see our farmers going there by scores
and hundreds, and thus testify their regard
for a movement which originated in Missis-
sippi, and looks to nothing less than the
emancipation of the South from thraldom
which threatens our destruction. 1t will be
a meeting Of planters, manufacturers, and
mechanics, the solid men of the country, who
come together to compare results, exchange
opinions, suggest ways, and discuss princi-
pies, which have for their end the common
good of our common country. Then, we
say, attend in force upon the Fair and the
Convention, and show that you are ready to
aid each in whichever promises good to the
people The President of the Bureau de-
serves well of tho people for the interest he
has created abroad in this movement, and il
he is aided and sustained by his confederates
in office, and the societies of the State acting
in subordination to the Bureau, success must
crown their efforts

sue the first number about the LIST day Of June

The ISrELLIGEScER will not he the organ Of any
man, or Of any clique or combination Of individuals
but it will endeavor faithfully TO represent the views
and sentiments OF the community of Oxford and La
ayette county, and 10 uphold and foster all the great
interests-educational agricultural, material social
and moral-wh which the highest welfare Of our peo
pie is identified
The fundamental doctrines of the State Rights
school of Democracy will constitute the guides by
which the political Of the paper will be
trollcd and while the INrELLIGEScER will sustain
Southern institutions and the cause Of the South with
energy and zeal it will do 30 calmly and only by rea-
son and argument-remembering THAT there is zeal
which sis not according to knowledge" and whose
only weapons are empty defamation and appeals to
popular ignorance passion, and prejudice. It will
earnes ysuppor the principles andorganization Of the
Democratic party; but, at the same time, it will be
courteous to those OF feow-citizcns who po-
liticaly opposed to il will it descend, in any
case, to personal abuse and vili6cation.

to show that he is not unmndful Of those obligations
which he owes to her.
Nothing will appear in the columns Of the ISrELLr-

for it is his purpose to establish for the paper repu-
tation both at home and abroad which shall its

A WIND WAGoN-A western genius lately con-
strueted u wind wagon to bear him to Pixies Peak
which has realized his most sanguine expectations
earring him through in 20 days. Encouraged by
this success, other parties in the same town SET
about the construction of the same kind Of wagons
and party of eight started out on the praires try
one which had been finished. The wind was blow
ing gale at the same time, and everything worked
to charm. The occupants, gliding swiftly over the
praries, were delighting themselves with anticipa
tion of speedy and comfortable trip to the mines.
when the velocity Of the vehicle created q lively
alarm for their safety. The wagon sped onward be-
fore the driving wind faster and faster, until the
axletrees broke and deposited them all on the ground
and in a somewhat damaged condition, from broken
heads, bruised limbs and bodies. The speed Of the
machine is said to have been 40 miles per hour.
We suggest the use of brakes. 81

secrete not only this virus, but also the bile from
