BROUGHT Up with a Short Turn.

For three or four weeks past the Wabash and
c.. FL. & L have been surprising their competi-
tors in the volume of east bound business they
have declared that they were steadily maintain
ing rates. claiming that the popularity of the
agents and the fact that they could command
more cars than the Decline, the L B. &. w.
or the c., st. l.. g. p. could-explained the mat
ter. This was not satisfactory however, and
Commissioner Doherty of the east.bound pool,
was requested to investigate and ascertain, if
possible, the reason that the Wabash and the
G., Fl. & |. were showing such an unusually
heavy tonnage, and yesterday Commission
err Doherty called the agents to,
Stiles on to the green carpet to explain
Irregularities he had discovered. he having Sc
cured ample evidence. it is stated, that both
roads had been cutting rates in manner which
is looked Npon in railroad circles as very dishon-
orable namely, undertaking. or billing out
to 1000 pounds. The Wabash, it is
stated has carried this business to
while the c., FL & l. has not gone
into the business so extensively. A good deal Of
interest is now shown among freight men and
trunk-line pool will take. 1t would be serious
matter for these roads and for the agents if the
spirit of the pooling agreement is car
ried out, as there is heavy
penalty and both agents would lose their
positions. But it is believed that the matter
will be adjusted this time it being the first Of
Tense since the pooling agreement was entered
into, by simply settling up the rates, making
the shipper pay full tariff on actual weight. But
it is intimated that hereafter leniency will be
shown be it strong or a weak road which in
any manner cuts q rate.

In conversation recently with a
member of the next Legislature from
Western Kentucky, we were inform
ed that his vote would likely be given
TO one of Mr.Spalding's opponents in
the race for Speaker. "Not that l
regard Mr.. Spalding as unworthy"
he added "but because the other
candidate is a personal friend" We
had hoped to see every Democratic
Representative in this end of the
State labor earnestly for the election
of Mr.. Spalding, whose qualifications
are certainly equal if not superior to
those of any of the other aspirants
for the Speakersship. But SO long
as our people run off after Bluegrass
candidates and refuse to support their
neighDors who are equally mertO-
rious, so long will our section be de-
prived of fair representation in the
distribution of political honors. We
have no desire to raise the sectional
issue. That issue is already raised
and has been used to our dctriment
for years in Central Kentucky. What
we want is to meet the issue squarely
and not yield everything to the Blue
grass section.

Acted Like a Charm,

My little daughter all Ter life has
been in delicate health. Her blood
seemed to be impoverished. She has
taken various preparations of iron,
cod-liver oil, and tonics of many
kinds, which were prescribed by the
best physicians, and while she was
benefited, yet it was only temporary.
A member of my congrega ion, who
had tried it, recommended S. S. S.
For about year she has had an in
dolent but stubborn sore behind her
ears. After she had taken Swift's
Specific for short time the sores
grew worse and began to discharge.
This l regarded as favorable. In a
very short time her ears grew better,
and to-day are entirely well. Her
appetite is splendid and regular, she
is full of life and cheerfulness. The
change is evident to the most casual
observer. l ascribe it all, under the
blessings of God, to Swift's Specific.
In view of what it has done for me
and mine, Lean most confidently and
sincerely recommend it to all who
need such remedy. Let the suffer
ing give it a fair trial, and it will
bring hope, health and happiness
into every home.

In the last Legislature bill to
create Mckenzie county out of parts
of Hancock, Breckenridge and Gray
son was introduced. 1t passed in
the Senate but was defeated in the
House. 1t is very probable that the
matter will come up again next win
ter and still stronger fight be made
for the new county. Speaking OH
the subject, the Breckenridge News
says:
A most highly esteemed friend of
the News and the people gives us an
article this week on the probable dan
ger of the new county question. lie
lays down his premises ingeniously
and make his deductions with the
extremity of the logician's art, point
ing out with finger of light the re-
suit of the late election. While we
are as fully aware of the ruinous re-
suits of the establishment of McKen-
Zie county as any one, we can not see
that there is a remote possibility of
the success of the scheme. 1t met its
Waterloo at the last session Of the
legislature. Yet we must not dis
count the forces the scheme will
bring into the field. Mr.. Byers lives
in what will be the territory of Nc
Kenzie county and his interest can be
very easily identified with it, as our
friend says. Mr.. Wallace, the repre-
sentative from Grayson, may be in
cluded in the same terms, as, except
residence, may also Smith, of Han
cock county. Still these all belong
to the minority party and can pos
sess but little influence outside of the
lobby, in which it must not be for
gotten Mr., Green, for whose especial
behoof and benefit Mckenzie county
is TO be created, is power as he was
on the floor of the senate. All these
points are covered by our anony-
nous friend, and all the point upon
which we take Issue with him is up
on the degree of the danger. But,
all in all, he is right. Where there
is smoke it is well to hurry with the
water.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

Jno. G. Latham wrs born in Rus
sellville, Logan County KY, Nov. 6,
1914. The parents John and Nancy

county official he was intimately con-
nected with the city government of
llopkinsville, being for many years
chairman of the Board of Councilmen.
During his incumbency as a county
officer he improved his leisure time
in the study of law, and was
admitted to practice, never, however,
with view to adopting the law as a
profession, but that he might be the
better qualified for business career.
For sixteen years he was interested
in mercantile business, and in 1865,
was elected President of the Bank OF
Hopkinsville upon the organization
of that institution, in which he was
one of the stock holders and of which
he was at the time of his death the
executive head.
