improvement in the lower end OF town.
The Hawesville road has been turned SO
as to take it out OF the low ground
through the Breckenridge Cos. proper
ty. The new. road is high and well
drained and by the time it is opened for
traffic, it will undoubtedly be in splen.

the property lying alongside it.
The city authorities are working on
the extension of second street from the
Catholic church TO the railroad shops,
and, when completed, this street will be
of great benefit to every person EN-.
ployed at the shops.
The two cottages being built by the
Breckenridge company are nearing COM

construction Of other buildings on the
new subdivision in the near future.
The next thing in order is the forma-
ton Of Commercial club to assist our
city fathers in bringing outside capital

suggested by different parties. Now let

JUSTICE TO
THE NEGRO.
Saloon License Will Not Be
Used to Build a School.
house For the
Negro.
DEVISE ANOTHER METHOD.

EDITOR OF THE BRECKENRIDGE NRws:-
l had the pleasure OF attending the edu-
cationsl meeting at the colored Baptist
church on Monday night last, The sub
ject for discussion being whether or not
VIII skey was a benefit TO this city.
Many good arguments were advanced
against the open saloon, and much falla.
cious talk was made in favor of it.
l wish merely to notice an argument
advanced by one OF the speakers, and
that is that the saloon tax would build
the colcred people a school house. We
all know that this city has bad the saloon
lisense for many years, save one, and
our City Fathers made no effort to build
school house for our colored brother.
In fact we never hear of this colored
school building except at a councilman's
election or at an election for temperance
and decency, as we are now having. 1t
Is now being aired by the mouth pieces
OF the whiskey men in the shape Of col
ored bipeds, for they are not men.
This city owes some $4,000 shop
bonds and at the rate we are paying
them oh-that is, under saloon license
it will take 40 years and more to qui-
date them, and no sane man will say
that the council will appropriate money
for negro school building with this
debt hanging on the people.
Now the colored people are entitled to
good comfortable tehoOl building, and
il seems to me that the council, with the
assistance of our able City Attorney,
might devise some way of their getting
one One way occurs to me. Sell the
school house on the hill in which the
negroes are interested, say for $500, the
white citizens being the purchasers, an d
with this 81 800 build the negroes a good
school house. Should this plan be- not
feasible, am confident other ways can
be devised to get the negroes a good
school building, thereby doing away
with this trashy talk about the saloon
license building negro school house.
l might further add that the state
ment has been made by the whiskey
people that the citizens living outside
the corporate limits will be taxed to
keep up the city OF Cloverport, which 1
state is emphatically false, aud this false
hood is we'll known to the whiskey peo-
pie, or at least to that portion who know
anything aside from the direction OF
saloon.

GAS AT GRAHAMTON.
A Heavy Flow Attained At Depth Of
Only One Hundred and
Seventy-eight Feet.

Grahampton, KY. Investigation has
proven it nothing unusual to find natural
gas almost anywhere In the gas belt OF
Meade county. but that this result should
be attained at depth OF only l7S feet
below the surface is certainly unpreced-
ented. Yet it is at this depth that gas
has been found in abundance at Ora
hampton, and in a deposit of slate, like
wise unknown in any boring in the
county. When penetrating this slate to
a distance OF only four feet, the drill,
weighing 500 pounds, was thrown en-
tirely from its place and to height OF
several feet above the surface OF the
ground, while the gas issued with such
a roar as to be heard half a mile dis.
tant, a alarming the people Of the
town with the belief that the boilers OF
the mill had burst.
The flow has continued undated, and
with the same force and volume for ten
days, affording ample fuel for all steam
purposes to run the mill and heat the
entire building OF four stories, 40xl40
feet in sizes.
The Grahampton Manufacturing Com.
pany will bore another we'll about half
way between the cotton mill and the site

TIME FOR ACTION.
Let the Men of This County Denounce
the Fraud Which Now EnveI-
ops the State.
From an Irvinston Correspondent.

From an Irvington Correspondent.
The time is ripe for action. We need
no revolution in Kentucky, no armed
opposition to this overthrow of civil
government in our once proud common
wealth. Let the people, regardless Of
political utilization, rise in their might
and in the name of outraged justice.
denounce the proceedings of those per-
sons, who under the guise Of law, and
under the domination and dictatorship
OF an Ohio Republican, have deprived
Kentucky citizens OF their liberty, en-.
dangered their lives, and have by their
high handed proceedings caused the lib
erty loving people OF our state to stand
sghast at such usurpation Of power and
such travesty on the name OF govern
meut.
II is unnecessary and cowardly longer
TO delay. The time and circumstances
demand action. Let old Breckenridge
take the initiative.
Let all her citizens who love liberty,
justice, "a government OF the people,
for the people, by the people," come to-
gether in mass meeting at an early date
and demand righting of these wrongs,
demand that justice be once more Impair
TALLY melted out to all our citizens. The
voice Of the people animated by a con-
seriousness OF right is mighty and will
prevail.

COUNCIL ON
THE MOVE.
They Are Raising Revenue,
Opening Streets and En-
forcing Ordinances,
THE BRECKENRIDGE
ADDITION APPROVED.

Our City Dads met in regular month
ly session at the City Hall Monday
night. 1t was the warmest and longest
meeting since the installation of the
new board. Mayor Barry, in his usual
happy style, called the body to oder
and Clerk Tousey read the minutes OF
the previous meeting which were APP
proved.
The question Of raising sufficient rev.
ente to meet the current expenses OF
the town was the first important bust
ness to come before the body. Council
man Mattingly read an ordinance where
by there is provision set forth to Ii
cense all business and professional men.
This matter was referred to the Financial
Committee which will report at the next
meeting.
Councilman Boiler read an ordinance
relative to property owners occupying
the streets. He said they should pay
the town something for using the ground.
Mr.. Hudson sanctioned the matter and
was In favor OF requiring the buildings
now projecting on the streets to be re-
moved from the line. This matter was
reieued to the Street Committee for in
vestigation.
Mr.. L. 7. Reid was present and asked
that the street running along by Glover
Greek be opened He offered 10 do the
work free OF charge to the town il they
would establish the line. Mr.. Hudson
will make the survey and the street will
be opened.
The Financial Committee handed in
It's approximate estimate upon the cost
Of procuring water works which was in
the neighborhood Of 81, 900. Mr.. John
L. Morten was before the body and said
as soon as the franchise for electric
lights was offered, there were parties
re<iy to make an offer to erect q plant.
twas decided to advertise in the differ
emit mechanical journals for bids on
water works and electric light plants.
Mayor Barry spoke in behalf of the
Standard Oil Company for the privilege
OF erecting buildings near the railroad
depot for the purpose Of carrying on
their business upon q more extensive
scale. He suggested to the Coun cilmen
that they grant this company this privi-
lege Of building in the street but Hudson
Immediately offered an objection, say.
ing the railroad would grant them the
right 10 build on their ground and it
would not be right to allow the Stand
ard Company to build in ths street and
force other citizens to remove their
buildings.
A plat OF the Breckenridge addition
was placed before the Council and
was accepted. The Breckenridge Can
mel Coal company, through its manager,
Mr.. H. v. Harris, donates the streets to
the City. This is quite an acquisition to
the town and when completed will be
the prettiest portion Of the city.
After allowing claims, accounts and
ofit6rs' salaries, the council adjourned
subject to the call Of the Mayor.
