THE RECORD was very much lnciineo
to ''blow" about there being no RAID
crs i'm Garrard when the turnpike
question first came up. The chopping
down of all the gates on one side Of
the county in a single night, however,
shut us up on that line with the quick
ness and firmness of steel trap. Since
then we have only hoped for the best,
and the raid of = iturday night was no
surprise at all. Reasoning with man
who will destroy private property has
about the same effect as the pouring of
water on a ducks back. The raiders
believe they have a grievance and you
might as well sing psalms to a dead
horse as try to argue them out OF It,
We believe that some satisfactory ar
engagements or deals will eventually
be made with the pike companies, but
until that is done and the pixies are
set free, the people may expect trouble
and probably serious trouble. We do
not believe in making mountains out

to the mole hill it will surely grow in
to either a mountain or q mighty big
hill While the pike companies and
raiders have grievances, it would be
well to remember that our law-loving
people, also, have one, and that is
the bad name which these raids give
the county. Those interested should
put forth every effort within reason to
bring about an amicable settlement of
this matter and thus put stop to the
disgraceful conduct INDUCED in by the
raiders. We do not mean to say that
property should be sold for less than
its value, not by any means, but
"where there's will, there's a way,
and the court and the pike companies
should put their heads together and
find out that way. The people are
sick and tired of this question.

Prominent ATTORNEY
Gives Praise for

1t is not difficult to convince the
people of Kentucky of the merits
Of a remedy when evidence is pre-
sented of what it has done right
here at home-of cures made
among the people we know. 1t is
so easy to verify the statements
made below that there is no need
for the slightest doubt to remain.
The evidence is conclusive and in
disputable. Mr.. f.. X. S. Clink-
enbeard is a prominent young at
torney, residing at Mt. Sterling.
He is also we'll known as news
paper man of much ability and
has many friends throughout the
State. The following letter from
him will prove of great interest:
1.-TWO years ago was a great sufferer
from Rheumatism / had tried every
remedy / could hear of except s. s. s.

[ remained for twelve weeks under

The board Naat goes beyond its
boundary, an1s does that which belongs
to the teacher, is guilty of great di-.
courtesy"
After tie address was finishe d,
there was a general.di discussion, which
showed that all heartily endorsed the
position of tn, speaker.
Aud also great many questions
were asked, some of which I'll give,
together with the answers.
Would member OF the board have
right to ask teacher to suspend
work, to give him (the member) a
chance to make talk or to read some
thing to the pupils?''
Answer: "No;-no more than stock
holder of Il bank would have, to step
in and say to the cashier: You may
stand aside, I'll attend to this bust
ness; and you can imagine how that
would strike any selfrespecting cash
Ter. In other words, a member of a
board, unauthorized by the board in
its organized capacity, has no more
authority than any other citizen IN
the county.
A similar answer was given when it
was asked whether a director had a
right to take charge of a class with.
out invitation from the teacher, or
even 10 ask questions without asking
permission o. the teacher.
4 K 4
Another question asked was this
'Suppose a brother or cousin, or any
relative, of the principal should be
teaching with him; and suppo.e this
relative should see some one guilty OF
misconduct, and should tell the prin,
cipal, and the principal should act on
that testimony; suppose then that the
board should say to the principal, 'We
think best for you not to use the tes
timony of your relative, for people
will think that you will believe your
relative before any one else, and sc
might not do justice to the pupil
wouldn't that be a reflection on the
truthfulness Of the relative, or on the
Judgment and fairness of the princi
pal--his ability to rise above preju.
dice, and to do just. c."
Answer: Yes, any construction
you can put on it, will be a reflection
GA either the principal or the relative,
and the board that does that is guilty
of very great discourtesy."

esting to me because l have had every
