its issue of Jan. 18th.
"Among the sixty weather OBJ
servers in Kentucky, there are
men and women of every station
of prosperity and learning, from

Speaking of Mr.. Jno. B. At
kinson, President of the ST. Ber-
nard Mining Co., of this place,
the writer continues:
"Mr. Atkinson is nota weather
observer for the money there is
in it, because the position from
the Government, which he is fill
ing, pays no salary. But as a
large land owner and as a man
interested in Hopkins county in
dustrial and mining enterprises,
he wanted the weather reports
and other data that is sent every
day to the voluntary observers,
and he decided to apply for the
position.
"The weather reports from
Darlington are sent with scrupu-
lous care, and when the Presi-
dent of the coal company is out
of the city, one of his assistants
sends in the information to the
Central Weather office.
Mr.. Atkinson is only one of a
number of rich Kentuckians who
help make up the report of Ken
lucky weather, which is tele-
graphed about the country twice

HANCOCK CASE
Decided in Favor Of L. & N. R. R.

In the case of j. L. Hancock
VS.. the l.. d N. r. r. which was
tried'at Madisonville last Friday
judgement was rendered for the
defendant.
The plaintiff bought a ticket
at GAINESVILLE, Tenn, to Slaugh-
tersvllle, KY, March 3, 1908. In
order to reach Slaughtersville he
had to change cars at Guthrie,
KY, and at that point attempt
ed TO board the first tram reach
ing there which passed through
Slaughtersville, and which was
train not scheduled to stop at the
latter point. The conductor re-
fused TO permit Hancock to ride
ride to Slaughtersville on that
train, and Hancock sued to re-
cover damages for his failure to
go to Slaughtersville on that
train. The defense was that
this was one of the fastest trains
of the company, not scheduled to
stop at Slaughtersville, or at but
few of the more important points
between Nashville and Evans
vile, and that the contract for
transportation which Hancock
made with the company only per-
mitted him to travel from Guth-
RE to Slaughtersville on a train
that stopped at the latter station.
The court decided this question
in favor of the railroad company
and denied Hancock a right of
recovery, holding the regulation
Of the company to be reason
able one.

GEORGE E. EVANS
Says he viii not Resign General Mana
gership Of |. & N.

The report. that George E.
Evans, general manager of, the
Louisville and Nashville, had re-
signed came last night in tele-
gram from Nashville says Mon
days Courier Journal. The re-
port was to the effect that Mr..
Evans would be succeeded by &.
M. Stark, superintendent of the
South and North and Birming-
ham Mineral division Of tie sys-
TEN, with headquarters in Biz
ingham. Mr.. Evans was seen at
the Gait House, and said:
81 have not resigned and have
no intention of resigning. This
is the first | have heard of the
report, and if any one expects
me to resign l shall have to dis,
appoint him at present. "
Mr.. Evans has the reputation
of being one of the most astute
railroad managers in the South,
and the report hat be is to re-
sign is generally discredited. Mr..
Stark, who is mentioned in the
report as his successor, is also
one of the most capable men il
the service of the Louisville and
Nashville. He has been with the
road for years, and before going
to Birmingham was superinten
dent of TIE Nashville terminals
He established the system which

mule buyers there from all points

are feeling extra good over the
market as large profits have been
realized on all the sales. The

THREE WILL HANG.
Holland, Carney and Finch Have
Had Sentence of Death Pass
ed on Them.
MeRlwErHER IS NOW ON TRIAL.


negroes put on tr al at
Hopkinsville for the MUIR
der of the unknown white man
near Pembroke on November IA,
will hang if the verdict of tire
jury is enforced. A verdict of
guilty was brought in, fixing the
penalty at death. One man stood
for half a day for life sentence,
but he finally came over to the
other eleven and agreed to vote
for death.
Frank Carney and George Hol-
land, the two men who actually
did the killing, were convicted
and death verdict returned in
the case several days ago.
The trials have been conducted
rapidly and there has been no
undue haste. Ample latitude IS
given the defense in each case,
but the evidence for the prison
ers is manifestedly a tissue of
falsehood and at variance with
the confessions made by all three
of the men who have been tried.
THE MERIwETHER CASE.
The trial of Frank Meriwether,
another of the negroes was en-
tered into Monday and by IL 30
the Jury was made up.
Meriwether is defended by r.
N. Lander and +. II. Ford, the
colored lawyers. The same at
torneys for the Commonwealth,
who conducted the other cases,
will have charge Of this one.
The jury is as follows:
T. j. Word, J. w. Rogers.
Will Gilkey, j. w. Crabtree, IL.
A. Haddox, f. +. Quarles, w
T. Meacham, f. B. Cobb, J. W.
Weldon, @. E. S. White, W. T..
Renshaw, ID. j. McCord,
The witnesses are the same as
in the other cases..
Meriwether is the man who
Holland said in his confession
struck the sleeping man with the
bludgeon that crushed his skull
and really killed him, before his
throat was cut by Holland.
There is hardly any ground for
doubt that Meriwether will re-
ceive a death sentence, like the
others already tried.
SHOCK KILLED HIM
Gus Jesup, an aged colored
man, died suddenly at the home
of Robert Glenn, COL, near Dow
ner's nursery, last Wednesday
night, says the Fairview Review.
He was the father of George
Holland, who was given death
sentence at Hopkinsville on that
day for numbering the unknown
white man near Pembroke. He
heard the news shortly after the
verdict was returned, and it is
supposed the shock of the news
that his son was going to be hung
caused his death. "Gus," as he
was called, was a peaceful, quiet
negro, and was well thought of
by the white people who knew
him.
