THE recent award of the Lexington
Sewer Contract to the Hill-Gaynard
Construction Company of st. Louis,
brings to mind the great Importance
of sewerage system in all towns Of
any size. For years there has been a
standing need of such a system in
Richmond. With our splendid water
works, q sewerage system could be
installed with little trouble and it is a
known fact that the health of any
community is increased by a good
sewerage system. The terrible yellow
fever situation through the South this
year has alarmed every one in South
ern States, and such alarm has, no
doubt, caused the immediate step on
the part of Lexington's officials. 1t is
noticeable fact that this yellow fever
scourge becomes more serious as the
years advance, especially in city
where there IS no sewerage or even an
imperfect sewerage. A town the size
of Richmond, with her general spirit
of progress and push, should by all
means point with pride to splendid
sewerage. Let the matter be taken
up by our public spirited men and
pushed to a completion. Not only
the health ofour community demands
it but from the mere standpoint OF
progress and improvement the demand
comes.

WITH today's issue the present edi-
tor of The Advocate retires from the
field of journalism in Kentucky to
take a position with a St. Louis syn
dictate. The change is almost as great
a surprise to us as it will be to our
subscribers and friends of the press
throughout the State, but we have
been the victim of the best offer Of a
lifetime, and could not see our way
clear to decline. The paper will again
fall into the hands of Mr.. H. f. Wool
folk, who is too well known to its
readers and the press of Kentucky to
need an Introduction.
The above editorial, or rather intro
duction to such, appeared in the Dan
vile Advocate of Sept. 20, and has
been read with deepest regret by
brother editors over the State. Mr.
Menefee has held a warm place in the
hearts of Kentucky newspaper men,
and for quite a while has been a prom
inent member of the Kentucky Press
Association, and during the past sum-
mer became one of the founders of
the Eighth District Publishers League,
holding the Office of vice president.
Since assuming the editorial manage
ment of the Advocate, Mr.. Menefee
has issued one of the newsiest papers
in the State, and his resignation is a
source of deep regret. Still, with
brotherly love, we bid him God-speed
in his new field, but may he ever hold
in fondest recollection his associates
of the Kentucky Press, and always
claim as home, the blue grass region
OF his native State.
