Washington, Feb. Ex-senator j. O.
s. Blackburn filed oaveat on behalf
of his granddaughter, Teresa Black
burn Lane, to the will Of the late
Thomas Lane, filed for probate by
Bridget Lane. The testator, Thomas
Lane, was the husband of the late
Lucille Blackburn Lane, daughter of
Senator Blackburn. He left will
giving most q his estate to his wife
and little daughter. After his wife's
death a second will was filed by rels-
tives, which bequeathed most of the
estate left by him to relatives other
than his wife and child. The petition
of Senator Blackburn asking that the
second will be not admitted to probate
states that it was withheld for more
than year after the testator's death,
and denies that it was drawn by Thorn.

Wallace. who ought to know more
about IL than the men who are max

not decided to build it, and while this
does not necessarily mean that it will
not be built, it is decidedly more en-
couraging than il he had stated the
road had decided TO build it. We
would suggest to our Mayfield contem-

THE TELEPHONE AGREEMENT.


THE TELEPHONE AGREEMENT.
Some Of the members Of the COM
mittee that made the telephone selec-
ton few nights ago, according to re-
ports, are making q great deal Of noise
because The Sun yesterday made q
statement for Manager A. L. Joynes,
in which Mr.. Joynes was quoted as
having said that certain merchants
had made certain statements to him.
The Sun does not blame Manager
Joynes or any other man for attempt
ing to protect his business. and that
is what Mr.. Joynes apparently was
trying to do. He said that certain
merchants claimed to him that they
had signed the telephone agreement
under a misapprehension, and would
not stick to it, We have no reason to
doubt Manager Joynes' statement. II
none Of the one hundred or more mer-
chants who sigued the agreement
made such statements TO Manager
Joynes, be alone is responsible for the
allegation that they did. We do not
think, however, that any member OF
the committee knows anything about
what the. 100 or more merchants and
others who signed the agreement, may
have said to Mr.. Joynes. II may be
that the committeeman do not believe
any of these signers said anything at
all, but unless they have interviewed
the various merchants, professional
men and every member Of the various
firms represented in the agreement,
and secured their statement under oath
as to whether or not they made state
ments to Manager Joynes, we do not
believe that any of these committee
men really know anything about what
the others have done. 1t strikes us
that i. is quite possible that some Of
those who signed the telephone agree
ment may not have understood what
they were doing, and if they did they
have perfect right to say so to Man
ager Joynes. The latter says they did,
and he is no doubt able and ready to
assume the responsibility Of what he
states. People who haven't intelli-
gence enough to separate what paper
itself states from what it quotes some
one else as stating, should refrain
from expressing opinions. 1t seems
to us that it should make DO difference
to tine members of the committee
whether some of the signers misun-
derstood the agreement they signed or
not, so long as they do not say anyone
Intentionally deceived them.

REPUBLICANS ARE JUBILANT

The political outlook in Kentucky
grows brighter for the Republicans
every day, according to our way Of
thinking. Instead Of the Democrats
getting together, they seem to be grow
ing wider apart. If the present breach
is healed before the next election, it
will be an unprecedented thing for
Democrats to accomplish. The anti
Beckham men want to fight the ma
chine, some for one reason and some
for another, and Hon. John x. Hen
drick it seems, is the man they are
using as a weapon against the"trust. "
We do not think that many people Sc
riously believe that Mr.. Hendrick
stands any chance of getting the NOM
ination, or il he got the no mination
would get the support of the defeated
machine, which according to the anti
machine papers is absolutely unscrup-
ulous and capable of doing anything.
It is extremely likely that the machine
politicians would resentfully turn
against Hendrick if by chance he
should manage to get the nomination.
This would confirm the Republican
superstition that the Democrats stand
little show in the next election.
As to Mr.. Hendricks worrying the
Republicans they are glad to see him
stay in the race for the nomination.
1t keeps the breach open and he is not
believed by Republicans to stand any
chance. Any kind Of stick will do to
kill dog with, and it seems the anti
machine crowd are simply using Mr..
Hendrick as stick with which to slug
The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1903-02-13

the Beokhamite machine. IL may be
that he will win the nomination in
walk, but we doubt il. We don't be-
level he can even carry his own dis
trict, Tor many Of the prominent Dem
ocratio politicians of the district ac-
coyding to reports, are for the machine.
Many of Mr.. Hendricks boosters
knitted W. ]. Stone. candidate for
governor in this district, few years
ago, in order to support an outsider,
p. Wat Hardin, and they cannot now
consistently ask anyone to support Mr..
Hendrick simply because he lives in
the district.
Another thing, the Republicans do
not believe that the Democrats in Ken
tuoky are ready to nominate man
for the principal office in the state
who is charged with and has never de.
MED, so far as we know, having been
appointed a delegate to the national
goldbug convention held to help de-
feat the Democratic idol, W. J, Bry-
an.
II strikes us that il will indeed be a
miracle IL the Democrats Of Kentucky
have so far forgiven their enemies,
the erstwhile goldbugs who helped
elect Republican president, and Re-
publican governor in Kentucky, as
to now nominate one Of them for the
highest office in the state. Hence the
Republicans should be and doubtless
are, pleased to see Mr.. Hendrick contin-
ne to fiaunt there drag at the Beckham-
lite bull. About May il will run over
him and in due time the Republicans
will attend to the bull.

RETURNS TO GEORGIA
DIR. DOBBS CALLED BACK TO
MARIETTA.

Hsrrodsburg, KY, Feb. 13-The
Rev DIR. o. e. ". Dobbs has been
unanimously called to the passionate of
the First Baptist church OF Marietta,
GA. He has decided to accept and
will remove with his family to the
Georgia city in tine near future. Ma
rietta is one of the old cities Of Geor-
gia, situated some 80 miles north OF
Atlanta, and the Baptist church there
is one of the strongest in the state.
DR.. Dobbs was formerly pastor at Gar
tersville, Ga, and in going to Mari
eta, will be taking up his residence
again among old friends.
DR.. Dobbs came to Harrodsburg last
summer. when he bought the Harrods-
burg Democrat, but soon concluded
that his calling was not for secular
occupation and sbandoned journalism.
During their residence here DR.. Dobbs
and his family have made many warm
friends, who will keenly regret 10 see
them leave.

is not thought that it will hurt Padu-
