DRAGGED BY MULE.
Little Boy Has a Very Close
Call.

The nine-year-old son of Mr.. j. r.
Gresham, of the Sinking Fork neigh
borhood, had a narrow escape from
death a few days ago. AS it was he
was quite badly injured, but will
likely recover. The little fellow had
unhitched a mule from a wagon and
was riding the animal to the house
when his cap was blown off by the
wind. In an effort to catch the cap
the boy fell to the ground, but one
foot was caught in a trace chain and
the mule dragged him around, for
half an hour or more before he was
discovered and released from his
perilous situation. The little fellows
head, face and arms were badly cut
and bruised and it was thought that
he had been fatally injured, but a
closer examination revealed the fact
that no bones were broken. Physi-
clans from this city attended, him,
and, on yesterday his condition was
reported much improved.

FOR HOUSE
BREAKING.
Ed Pendleton Arrested Tues
day and Case Con-
tinued.
is AN EX-CONVICT.
Said to Have Appropriated a
Pistol and SIS in
Money.

Ed Pendleton, colored, who is said
to have served a term in the peni-
Tertiary, was arrested by officer Mac
Cravens last Tuesday on the charge
OF house breaking. He was present
ed before City Judge Knight yester-
day morning and his trial set for 1C
O'Clock to-day.
AS to how he entered Summers
colored saloon last Saturday night is
not known, but the owner of the sa-
loon is positive that he was the guilty
party, as when the arrest was made
Summers pistol was found in his
possession.
Summers says that little over SIS
in silver, 2 quart bottles of whisky
and several other bottles of spirits
were appropriated at the same time.
Pendleton is said to have completed
his term and been released from the
pen this year. A large number of
witnesses were present yesterday
when the case was called and sub
poenas issued for several others. The
trial will no doubt attract a large
crowd of the colored population.

HENDERSON
is MOVING
Committee Here to Secure
South KY. College.
A MEETING YESTERDAY
Hopkinsville People Are Not
Coming to the Res
cue.
A MEETING YESTERDAY

Henderson is red-hot after the re-
moval Of South Kentucky College to
that point. The board of trade Of
that city and the citizens, to the
number of two hundred, held a
meeting this week and appointed
MMessrs. Dallam and Givens a com
mittee to come here and meet the
board of trustees of the college and
ask for proposition looking to To-
eating the school at Henderson. The
board held a meeting yesterday
morning at which the committee
was present and talked the matter
over. is The meeting adjourned to
meet again yesterday afternoon.
What was done at the meeting we
cannot say, owing to the hour of our
going to press.
1t looks as if our neighbor is de-
termined to secure the school on al
most ssany kind of a proposition.
Their zeal is certainly worthy of inn
itation.
Should the location be changed,
we are told, it will take with it every
dollars worth of property, owned
here by the Christian Denomination,
amounting to $4,000 or $4,000
above the debt.
We have authority to say that our
people are not coming to the rescue
as promptly as they should, and that
thus far only $4,000 has been sub
scribed. 1t is the determination of
the trustees to erect a larger and
much better appointed building
than the old one, or none at all.
Three thousand dollars is rather a
small start toward raising $4,000,
but it is hoped that Mr.. Hardy, who
is working hard, will have better
success in the next few weeks.

Debt Loving People.

THE weakest feature Of the govern
ments Of such countries as Cuba and
Sante Domingo is the chronic disposi-
ton Of the people to go into debt" said
Mr.. II. I. Vandoren, of Havana, at the
ShOreham. Cuba is eve now prepar-
ing to add $500 900 to her indebted
ness. and President Palma has one
continuous fight to keep the country
from borrowing in excess of it's ability
to pay. I don't know the philosophy of
it. but there is something inherent Ill
h Spanish-American makeup which
finds a fascination in raising revenue
by borrowing. 1t is a racial quality,
and we see it in nearly every govern
ment from the Isthmus of Panama to
Cape Horn.
"One solution of the matter is the
absorption of all these countries by the
United States. 1t is only a matter of
time when the Stars and Stripes will
float over the whole western hemis-
phere, and as we have made a start
with one of the most important Of the
sea islands there is no reason to delay
taking in Cuba and the rest of them"
