When the, first white settlers built
their log cabins in this dense forest,
the Indians told them wonderful
story of great food of the Ohio,
when the water rose more than one
hundred feet, extending from "hill to

this phenomonal'''big river occurred
In TIA. The Indians pointed out
marks on the trees and on tho side of
the hills to confirm their story, which
the devastating hand of civilization

Of the fact might now exist.

TURNPIKE TALK.

l.
Ed. South KENTUcKIAN
have noticed in your city papers
during the last year, several letters
from prominent citizens of the re-
mote portions of our county com
planning of the bad state Of the main
roads in the immediate vicinity of
Hopkinsville and urging on the coun-
ty judge and court the necessity of
dealing vigorously with our road
overseers; ! heartily sympathize with
these.complainants and all others in
their difficulties in marketing their
produce and reaching their county
IItis nearly impossible to keep
good dirt roads on these main stems
within five miles of Hopkinsville
where the entire travel of the county
concentrates and empties over five or
six main roads, in fact nothing but
tprnpikes win stand the heavy wear,
whereas the feeders and cross roads
ten miles out are easily kept up, most
|of. them having barely travel. enough
over them to keep the soil packed and
road-bed firm, requiring the neigh
bors. Ito gather once. or twice year
for a few hours to ditch a little and
crosslay few spoutly places for if
pond is to drain or a swampy place
to level the county promptly makes
an appropriation to have 1t done,
whereas we, within five miles Of
Hopkinsville, have to turn out with
our hands and teams four to eight
days in our busiest season Of the year
to keep our roads barely passable In
the sammer,and If we worked forty
days in the year they would still be
nearly impossible in the winter.
The road tax is very light in the re-
mote parts Of the county, whilst we
on the few main stems are required
by law to keep up roads for the mark
citing Of Christian couny's entire
production, which is unfair.
Instead of endeavoring to get our
road oyerseers fined for the unavoid-
able state of our main stem roads,
would it not be more equitable for all
the citizens living from ten miles out,
to the county limits to come in with
all their hands, teams and tools and
help us six days year to work these
main stems which their heavy loads
of produce SO materially help wear
out? |? With that encouragement we
will put in sufficient extra work and
keep the roads in as good condition
as it Is possible with our peculiar clay
and the heavy travel. With the pro-
ductive wealth of this county, these
main stems never can stand the wear
and tear of the heavy and increasing
travel without ballasting, consequent-
ly every appropriation expended in
hiring teams to work up the mud or
tohlembankmentsy without protection
ofAballast is county money thrown
away; every days work called out to

Schoonmaker's Explanation.

NEW YORK, Nov. l7.-Mr. Sch0on-
maker, whose name has been con-
nected with the discussion of cable
service as developed in the Central
News suit in London; was see-' to-
day by a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press, and said that he ot-
iected to what had been said of him,
and would like to be set right. He
said that q representative of the
Philadelphia press had misrepre-
sented his conversation. What he
did say was that he had never sent
OUT a cable that he did not receive
from cable lines. He said further
that his arrangement was this: He
supplies two classes of service by
caDle. One to y press association and
one to such associate 1 press papers rs
chose to buy. He has an agent as
sender who makes up his report
which he supplies to the Union
Pacific and addresses it to the U. +.
Association, and another agent who
prepares matter for special cable.
which he sends to the associated
press papers. The address of this is
"city," and u copy is delivered to Mr..
Schoonmaker personally, while the
rest goes to a general press office.
There is therefore no connection be-
tween the two reports, except that
implied toy his personal connection
with both services.

Fraudulent Voting.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. IT, James
DObson was held to bail for issuing
tax receipts on election day and Fred
Holland, colored, was held for voting
upon a tax receipt on which the name
of another peIsOnhad been erased aud
Hollands substituted. These prose
cutiOns were brought by the commit
tea of 100. A member of that body
said investigation had convinced the
committee that a well defined plot
been made at the recent election to
defeat the candidates endorsed by
the committee, and numbers of
bogus tax receipts had been distrib-
uted over the city. The committee
had information Of the receipts made
in New York. They expected to ST.

fraudulent documents were printed
