LINCOLN'S BIRTHPLACE.
The Kentucky Farm Ordered Sold
For Benefit of
Creditors.


A suit involving the ownership of
the farm onswhich Abraham Lincoln
was born, recently decided by Judge
Jones, of the LaRue Circuit Court,
brought out some interesting mat
ter regarding the efforts to sell the
place to the United States Govern
ment or some patriotic society. The
farm contains about 10 acres chief
ly valuable for its association with
Lincoln and consequent historic in
terest.
The suit grew out of the bankrupt
cy of Alfred w. bennett, the petit
ton being filed in California. Den
nett had been the owner Of the Lin
coin farm, but had transferred it
and did not include in his schedule of
assets. The trustee in bankruptcy
sought to subject this farm to the
claims of Dement'S creditors on the
ground that the property was in le-
gal effect held in trust.
The deposition of the Rev. J. w.
Bingham, Methodist minister of
Crittenden county, contained the in
teresting disclosure relatives to the
efforts of bennett to dispose of the
property to the Government. His
deposition included correspondence
with bennett regdaring the mat
ter.
The purchase of the property was
made originally by bennett with
view to realize on its sentimental
value. Mr.. Bingham had been Civ
en- power of attorney by bennett to
let the farm.
In December, 1899, bennett wrote
to Mr.. Bingham: I'VE have very
strong argument for a Soldiers
Home at the birth place. Its loca-
ton there would still further heal
the sectional prejudice between the
North and the South. If Deboe has
any sort of push about him he will
see his opportunity for doing him
self big piece of popularity in urg-
ing this one. If Deboedoes not hur-
ny will undertake to see Mckinley
myself"
Mr.. bennett. after seeing no pros
pect of selling TO the Government,
urged its sale to the Illinois Central
Railroad Company. This failing,
bennett finally wrote to Mr.. Bing-
ham that he had transferred the
farm to David Crear, of New York
City. Mr.. Crear was the Treasurer
of the Christian Missionary Alliance
and bennett subscribed $1,000 for
missionary purposes while attempt
ing to sell the farm to the Govern
ment. 1t was in payment of this
subscription that the farm was deed
ed to Crear, who was holding it for
the Missionary Alliance.
Judge Jones decided that the trans
fer was not valid and that the farm
should be sold for the benefit of
Denntt's creditors.
Besides the Lincoln Spring Farm,
bennett also owned the cabin in
which jeff Davis, President of the
Southern Confederacy, was born.
He exhibited this at the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition in Buffalo.

sixty-three voters. which chose its
delegates to the municipal conven-
tion by United States mail. The
plan worked without a hitch, and
its general adoption for municipal
elections is advocated in the precinct
clubs constitutions:
Each member shall have a perma-
nent voting number, which said vot-
ing number shall be designed by the
secretary on the club roll. One
week previous to the meeting at
which the votes are to be counted
according to this method, the Secre-
tary shall send to each member cop
les of the matter to be voted upon.
Together with this matter he shall
send also stamped return envelope,
which shall be lerge enough to con-
tain third envelope, to be known
as the ballot envelope. The ballot
envelope shall consist of two parts
one similar to an ordinary plain en-
velope, the other resembling a stub
and containing no opening, and hav-
ing the voting number only printed
on one side with space allowed for
the members signature. A line of
perforations shall divide these two
parts of the voting envelope in order
that the stub may be easily detached
from the voting portion of the en-
velope. In this portion of the en-
velope the member may return his
vote TO the secretary sealed up in
the return envelope and in no case
shall the secretary open any return
envelopes The second part, or stub
shall be used as safeguard in the
counting of the ballots, which shall
be conducted as follows:
At the time specified for the count
ing of the ballots the president shall
appoint a committee of three, to be
called the Judging committee. The
chairman of the judging committee
shall then designate some persons
to open the return envelopes and re-
move the ballot envelopes one at a
time. The chairman of the judging
committee shall then take the ballot
envelopes thus removed and call
out the voting number which APP
pears on the stub part of the envel-
ope. The secretary shall then read
from the club roll the name of the
person having such voting number
opposite the name given by the sec
rotary corresponding to the number
of the stub, and if the vote is not
challenged the secretary will call out
CHECK" and the chairman of the
judging committee shall thereupon
say voted" When the word "vot-
ed" has been called out the chairman
shall dispatch the stub and deposit
the sealed envelope on the table
within view of all present. When
all the return envelopes have been
opened and all the ballot envelopes
removed therefrom the court shall
be made in the usual manner.
