The Commissioners met on Thursday
last and opened the bids for the extension
and repairs determined upon, of the Court
House building. The contract was given
to F. d. Byers, firm Of Byers, Guyer & Co.,
a responsible party, at his bid, 1926, for
the work complete.
Jacob Giant, who is one of party en-
gagged in peeling bark on Shade Mountain,
some distance hey ond ''chestnat A IT, }" while
carrying out the bark on Thursday. shortly
after dinner, was bitten on the hand BY a
rattlesnakr. He Instantly tel card tight
ly around his wrist, and walked hone a
distance Of five miles, where ply sician
treated him for the venom. Had it been in
July or August, when the poison of the Sc
snakes are exceedingly virulcnt, ii is doubt
ful if he would have reached home alive.
His hand was swollen greatly, but that has
now abated, and he nil resume work b.'fore
long. In addition to the one that Bit him
he killed another ..rattler" on his WAY home
and the day before had killed four. He
says he has never known the woods to be
SO iull Of these dangerous reptiles, hardly
day passing but three or four are killed.
IL is now selsonabie to remind our readers
especially since it is thus prcmouished
there will be an unusual number of these
crawling dangers this season, that it is far
better to brgin being careful before they
are bitten than alter. Those who have oc-
casion to go into mountains should go eau
tiously and carefully, and in case they are
bitten should az once cauterize the wound
with a coal or hot iron, cut the bite out, or
If they have no sore or decayrd teeth in
their mouth suck out the poison. One of
these three meth.ds must be instantly
adopted, it it Is during the hot months, and
bitten b. the notsbly venomods reptiles
the rattlesnake, cOpperhead or viper
Bathing the wound with sarishorn, and ia
king i; diluted with water, is likewise off
cient, as is also copious draughts of spirits.
If none of these are at HI nd, apply plasters
OF mud, renewing then. a, soon As they be-
gin to dry. A cord or stout withe bound
above the wound will prevent the poison
being circulated through the body, and the
may be drawn very tight by means of
stick. As rule, when one goes to the |
wood, il is best TO take wal of hartshorn, !
(immonia) which is seryie able alike for
poison, and the sting OF insects.

REPUBLICAN, STATE TICKET,
The Republican State Convention,

The Republican State Convention
convened at Harrisburg last We'd
nesday, as all readers of current
events knew it would, but no one had
the remotest idea that the Conven-
ton would be attended by SO many
people.
1t puzzles the Oldest people in
Harrisburg to tell when such anoth-
er large civil demonstration took
place in the Capital City of the Com
monwealth, and the impression re-
ceived is that the Republican party
the coming fall will win a victory
that viii compare favorably with its
achievements in the past Thousands
In attendance told of the alarm that
is abroad in the land, that if the De
nocracy get more power they will
entirely annihilate the protective sys-
TEN, and establish free trade, and
thereby uproot most all of the man
ufacturing establishments that have
passed through the storm Of the late
financial panic, and further, that if
the Democracy get into complete
power they will pay the Southern
claims of which 100000, 600 have
already been put on file at Washing
ton, and that number on file is but
the forerunner of many more hun
dred millions yet to come.
1t was the feeling of alarm that
produced the great turn out; the
hundreds present were there to en-
courage their delegates in the work
of preparation for the election strug
gle. The Wood Tariff Bill, and The
Three Million Claims on file, are no
visionary things ike a dream, that
pass away They are actual move
ments that confront the country and
threaten its prosperity to a degree
that cannot be realized until after the
work has prostrated the industry and
the currency of the country. Arise !
Arousel Republicans, rally to your
standards and save the country, from
the operations of policy, which if
continued in by the Democracy will
make times a great deal harder.

THE PLATFORM.

and to its principals heretofore often
affirmed, declares.
First. That it is uncompromisingly
opposed TO free trade, in whatever dls-
guise presented; uuchangingly devoted
to the principals of protection to home
industry, and hereby avows its special
and direct hostility to the ta-iff bill
now pending in Congress, the same be-
ing in the interest of importers aud for
elgn manufacturers and il opposition to
American labor.
Second. That labor being the great
source of national wealth, the prosper
ity of the nation must depend upon the
extent to which labor Is protected and
employed; and that our government,
being government of the people,
should endeavor to promote, BY all the
proper means, the commercial and in
dustrial interests of the nation, so that
labor and capital may both be pro6ta-
bly, employed.
Third. That American commerce
should be fostered aud home enter
prise developed by the national gov
ernment, to the end that our manufac-
turing, mining, agricultural and indus
trial interests may flourish, our people
find employment, and the country be
restored to permanent prosperity.
Fourth. That the public lands belong
to the people, and should be reserved
exclusively for actual settlers, so that
the industrious poor may be encour-
aged and aided to enter upon aud occu-
py them.
Fifth. That We are now, ss ever, op.
posed to the payment Of claims from
the national treasury to those lately
engaged in or sympathiziug with the
rebellion. No conqueror should be
forced to pay indemnity to the conquer
ed, and the presentation of bills de-

The New Railroad TO HOpIIinsViIIc
Proposed.
Hopkinsville New Era.


A new railroad company has re-
Gently been incorporated under the
the laws of Tennessee and Ken
lucky, called the Empire, Clarks-
vile & Nashville Railroad Com
pany. The charter empowers the
incOrporators to build line of mar
row gauge road from Nashville,
Tennessee, to Shawneetown, Illi-
nOis. The company propose to be-
gin at a point on the Northwestern
road, about eighteen miles from
Clarksville, and build the road to
the latter place. 1t will then be ex-
tended through Christian county to
the Empire coal mines, fifteen miles
north of HOpkinsville and from
thence to Shawneetown. The at
tempt to construct this line of road
grows out of a desire to make the
superior black coal of the Empire
mines more accessible to the iron
works of Tennessee. Our Clarks-
vile neighbOrs are earnestly in fa-
Vor of the enterprise because of the
desire to have a road to compete
with the Louisville & Nashville
road, and thus relieve them of the
onerous rate of tariff charged by
that company. They offer to sub
scribe literally toward its cOnstruc-
tion. If the road is constructed on
an air line it will run several miles
west of Hopkinsville, but only upon
the condition that this city comes
down with a round sum in the way
of subscription. Our people can
think the matter over in all its
bearings and determine what is best
to be done in the premises. 1t de-
pends very much upon circumstan-
ces as to whether it will be to the
interest of Hopkinsville to take
stock, and our business men should
give the subject very careful consid-
Grafton. Mr.. A. i. Blackman, Of
Nashville, was in the city this week
talking in the interest of the enter
prise. The following is list of the
incorporators: A. G. Blackman, j.
p. Druillard, ID. n. Kennedy, II. $.
Broaddus, J. Il. Helms, j. M. Gra-
ham, l.. +. Falconnet and l.. =.
Goodrich. The road will be man
aged during its construction by two
companies, one in Tennessee and
the other in Kentucky. Tneorgan-
ization of the Kentucky company
will take place as soon as a limited
amount of subscription can be Sc
cured.
