The bee. (Earlington, Ky.) 1889-19??, 1904-08-25

SPEAKING of the effort in Ger
many to replace the mule with
the zrbrula, which is the cross
between the horse and the zebra,
the Courier-J journal says edito-
rally:
Even as his lifelong friend and
companion, the negro, is here to
stay, part and parcel of this nation,
not to be transported and colonized,
so 1T is also with the mule. After
all the present advocates of trans
porting the negro to Africa and of
substituting the zebrula for the
mule have been long beneath the
sod, the negro and the mule will be
doing business at the same old
stand, side by side.

His Money Tuesday While on
His Way Home.

Major Gather, who has been
an employee of the st. Bernard
Mining Company for the past
three years, was held up and

time. While he was going along
the road the two men jumped
over the fence and demanded
that he halt. Gather stopped
and the men commanded that he
give up his money or they would
shoot him. He gave them So
and told them it was all he had.
After he had given it to them
they drew a pistol on him and
told him to get up the road be-
fore they shot his head OFT.
Gather, after making circuit,
came to darlington and had war
rants sworn out for them. These
warrants were placed in the
hands OF Marshal Griffin, who at
once proceeded to try and locate
the offenders.

May Call Primary for Early November

A call has been issued by
Chairman ID. w. Gatlin of the
Democratic County Executive
Committee for meeting of the
committee Friday afternoon to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of hold
ing a primary for the nomlna-
ton of candidates to run for the
county offices next year. There
has been some desire expressed
by voters and candidates as well
to hold the primary on Noy-
ember 9Th.
If the committee calls the pri-
mary for November 8, the cam
didates will be hurried to get
their names before the people in
time for that occasion. So far,
there have been but few candi-
dates for county offices who have
announced their intention Of
making the races although many
have been considered as simply
waiting for the proper time be-
fore coming out. If the prim-
airy is called for November 9Th
the political pot will begin to
boil furiously directly following
the Friday afternoon meeting.

Cholera Infantum.

This disease has lost its terrors
