Charge OF GRAFT
AGAINST REVENUE AGENT
State Inspector Hines Charges Him
With Accepting $1,000,

Frankfort, Ky, July %. Henry B,
Hines, state Inspector and examiner
for Kentucky, today filed with Govern
or Beckham a report charging that A.
NJ. Harrison, of Lexington, revenue
agent for the state at large for the col
lection of omitted taxes. has received
and accepted 81, 900 in cash from the
Ford Lumber Company, of Clark coun-
ty, in consideration Harrison agreeing
to the entering Of judgment against
the company for $3.50, when the amount
should have been $1,000. He says the
money was paid to Harrison on Jnly 4
last at Lexington.
Auditor Hager issued an order dis.
missing Harrison from office, basing it
technically on the ground that Harri-
son had failed to renew his bond as re-
quired by law His bond should have
been renewed July ?, and the office is
now declared vacant.
Mr.. Hager says that neither Harri-
son nor any other revenue agent has
any authority to compromise tax
case, even If he turns the entire amount
over 10 the state. lie also alleges that
although they are entitled 10 a commits
sion, such commission shall not aggre-
gate over 5000 per year.
Representatives Of Mr.. Harrison were
before the auditor today asking for
mercy for him on the ground that he
was in a state Of intoxication al the
time. However. the auditor entered
an order dismissing Harrison on the
ground that he had not filed new
bond in the time required by law.
There will be in all probability an at
tempt to indict Harrison Tor bribery.
the penalty for which is forfeiture Of
office, a fine Of not less than 500 nor
less than $1,000 and a forfeiture Of the
right to hold office or vote Tor pe.
Rod Of ten years.
All the present revenue agents wer,
appointed by eN-Auditor Gus Coulter
under an act passed by the legislature
Of 1902, and the courts have decided
that they were appointed Tor a term Of
four years and could not be- removed By
the present auditor during their term.
1t was also decided that he had no an.
thority to direct what suits they should
bring. or, in fact, have any control
over them. It is intimated that il /.

tiles shown against the revenue agents.

BUSINESS ACTIVITY.

We republish this week an article
from the Corydon News, concerning
recent activity in the Western Kentucky
district, which it is believed will prove
interesting to our readers.
Aside from natural productiveness of
soil, which is boasted by Henderson
county as being above the average,
and regardless Of the fine crops of
fruits, corn, wheat, tobacco and other
crops, their coal of exceptional quality,
and other advantages. it will be seen
that a wide-awake citizenship is nee
essary adjunct to its full growth and
development.
Corydon now has a Business Men $
Association, equivalent in the purpose
of its organization toour own CONNER
cial Club, and our best wishes go out to
them in their effort to secure some of
the good things" attributed to this
section.

There is no reason why the Demo.
cratic press Of the State should take
the recent Powers decision hard. The
court Of appeals has three times said
that the Democrats themselves didn't
give Powers a fair trial. and they have
no right TO expect a man TO be- kent in
jail forever waiting for his rights. The
yarn about S9o.OoO having been con.
trihuted to the Powers fund as well as
well as the recent uncorking Of Henry

partisan Democrats designed % revive

CHAPTER III.
Midnight Reflections.

Mr.. Burritt passed very restless
night. Perhaps his dinner had dis
agreed with him. More. probably 1t
was the result of the agitation and
excitement caused by the meeting
with the old friend he had not seen
for SO many years. At any rate,
whatever the cause, there was no
doubt as to the effect; for he found
it impossible to sleep, or to do any
thing but toss from side to side, as
hour after hour YEARLY wore itself
away By some peculiar action OF the
brain, he also found himself compelled
to review all the past scenes of his
life, and mentally, step by step, re-
trace the path he had trodden during
those fifty years or SO, which went
to make up the sum of his existence
on this planet.
At last in despair, he rose, and go
ing to the window, looked out upon
the night 1t was very moonlight
night-too much SO, in fact. There
was something almost weird and
CHASTITY in it's effect. So he dropped
the blind with a crash, and went back
to bed again, hoping that, this time,
he might be able to sleep.
But it was the same thing over
again. Only this time his thoughts
concentrated themselves upon his
family and his home life. He remem-
bered, with a sense of remorse, that
he had been a little-only a little
irritable at breakfast that morning,
and that he had spoken rather sharply
