that great pressure is being brought
to bear on the officials at Frankfort
to have the encampment taken to
Henderson. a committee of 10 hav-
ing waited on the governor several
times. o
"Paducah has an excellent chance
to secure the encampment," Senator
Campbell declared, las the only com
petitor of consequence she has in the
race is Henderson" The state can
send the encampment there for 49,
600 less than Paducah and have
been assured that II | can overcome
this, Paducah can secure the en-
campment

sure we will have the soldiers here

Senator Campbell held a confer
ence with General Percy Haly who
told him that he had the full
equipment for artillery or infantry
for the Paducah company, but it
would have to be a rifle company
also. He instructed Senator Camp
bell to have the local organizers of
the company send in an application
at once with a list of members and
be mustered in. The applications
and such red tape are mere matters
of form, but have to be gone through
with.

Except to Provide Revenue for
the County Schools.
$1,000 When First Created-Fiscal
Court Wants To Use Il for
Court House.
T CANNOT BE LEGALLY DONE

The seminary fund has been or
dered by fiscal court deposited to
the credit of court house fund"
with the avowed purpose of build
ing a new court house sometime
within the next few years. The fund
now amounts to about $500 and
the only obstacle in the way of so
deposlting the fund is that II can
not be legally done. Very few peo-
pie know the history of this fund,
but there are a few left, and they
know that the county can never
spend this money for a court house.
The seminary fund was created in
1851 by the sale of public lands.
Each county in the state received a
share and McCracken's share was
$4,000. This became fund by legis-
lative grant. the interest on which
should always be paid to the county
schools.
Mr.. George Morrow was the first
custodian of this fund, but by bad
investment 1t dwindled down in a
few years to about $3.50 and some
worthless notes.
This money was then turned over
to Mr.. " o. Sweatman, the well
known druggist, who for fifteen
years was its only custodian. He col
lected perhaps $500 of the notes,
increasing the erstwhile fund of
$1,000 to about $1,000.
II was then ordered that no more
of the interest be paid to the county
schools until the original fund of
$1,000 was again on hand. and Mr..
Sweatman up to the time he resign
ed as custodian of the fund, had in
creased the $1,000 to nearly 49,
O0O Judge Tully was then county
Judge, and became custodian of the
fund, which he borrowed.
II was recently repaid to the
county, and fiscal court before II
adjourned Wednesday, ordered the
fund deposited as court house
fund" the intention being to add to
1t about $4,000 a year if possible.
until enough is on hand to erect a
new court house.
Mr.. Sweatman and several others
claim that this fund can never be
used except as originally designed by
the legislature-to provide revenue
for the county schools.

II Is not expected the situation
will change radically in the next day

from Japan OF her attitude In the
light of the spirit shown by the ear,
negotiations can hardly be expected

effect these a representations may

crete, will harden with time, but
members of the board of works do
not desire to take chances.

less the curb was taken up and hard
