GOOD ROADS CONVENTION

The Good Roads Convention to be
held in Hopkinsvile July IL and H.,
under the auspices of the National
Good Roads Association, is an event
of the greatest Importance to the
Western half of Kentucky. Only
two other conventions will be held
in the State, one at Louisville and
the other at greensboro.
The National Association is doing
excellent work in this plan of pro-
noting interest in good roads, A
similar convention at Jackson,
Miss, last week resulted in the or
ganization of a state associ alton
and aroused graf enthusiasm IN
the work of improving public high
ways. The road-building cam
paign furnishes an object lesson
that cannot be forgotten. The
Illinois Central Railroad IS hauling
eight carloads of special machinery
and this construction outfit will ar
rive July 9th, four days ahead of
the first convention, and build a
modern sample road one mile from
town on the Church Hill road.
1t will be shown how dirt roads
should be made to insure keeping
them in good condition all the year,
and the best way of constructing
macadamized roads will also be
demonstrated. The rock for this
purpose is beng quarried by the
roadside and will be crushed by
machinery carried for the purpose.
Many new things will be shown,
among others, how the use of oil
keeps down dust In the party,
(headed by President W. H, Moore
of the National Association) are
engineers who have built roads in
all parts of the world, and who are
able to show how good highways
can be made at the lowest cost. In
Christian county the macadam road
will be strong feature, as the
other conventions are not in lime
stone sections of the state. Where
there is no stone, good dirt roads
can be made and this question in
all its branches will come before
the next Legislature. Public in
terest is being aroused and the dis
cussion of this question is sure to
create enthusiasm. Many able
speakers will be here next month |
and delegates from forty Western
counties are expected.

McKiuleys refusal to run for a
third term is not likely to meet the
approval of the nominees on the
Christian county Ring ticket, most of
whom have been sucking the pub
lie teat for many years. They have
come to regard themselves as a
privileged class who not only con-
troll the Republican party with an
iron rod, but own the county as
well.

what he describes as "a gentle int to
the sightseer.,

"And their names?" asked the exam

"Well, there's Albert, Addie. Henry,

The surgeon announced that these
were only six. The applicant acknowl-
edged the corn and went over the list
again and again. invariably baking
after the sixth name. Then bright Of

a grin. and said:

plicant seemed more foolish than ever.

BOOK MAXlMS.

It is better to give a book than to
lend it.
Do not bite paper knife until it has
the edge of a saw.
Do not cut books except with a
proper ivory knife.
1t is ruination to a good book to cut
it right through into the corners.
Books are neither card racks, crumb
baskets nor receptacles for dead leaves.
Never write upon title page or half
title. The blank fly leaf is the right
place.
Do not turn the leaves of books down.
Particularly do not turn the leaves of
books printed on plate Paper.
If you are in the habit of lending
books, do not mark them. These two
acts together constitute an act of indis-
erection. 49,.

Some years ago." said the narrator,

much interest in the farm, so liked it's

farmer scented petroleum man and

GAVE A DECISION.
Circuit Court Finds No Error in
the Wfngerter
Case.

Akron, June 1.-THE circuit court
decided that the common pleas court
made no error in the conviction Of
Walter Wingerter for his connection
with the riot, and it SO declared by writ
ten notice to County Clerk Hershey.
This decision means that the SEN
tence of one year imposed upon the
defendant by Judge Hayden will now
be executed. Walter Wingerter must
go to the state reformatory at Mans
field, and there be confined at hard
labor for no less than one year.
The stay Of execution by which he
staved off the carrying out of the SEN
tence thus far expired Monday, and If
the defendant does not appear he will
be brought in by the sheriff.
Saturday morning Wingerter's attor-
neys filed a motion for further stay of
execution in order to give them an op-
portunity to carry the case to the su.
preme court. The motion has not been
passed upon.
The motion of Attorneys Rowley
and Rogers asking an order from the
court to compel the prosecutor to give
to them the signed confession of the
alleged dynamiters, Boone and James,
was oyerruled by Judge Kohler.
