HARTFORD EQUITY HOUSE
May be Eelarged to Meet the
Demands for Pooling Room.
Owners of House TO File Articles
of Incorporation. County
Union Meets Jan. 9th.

The recent purchasers of the large
tobacco factory here held a meeting
in this place "wednesday for the pur-
pose of completing the organization
Of the owners preparatory to incorpo-
rating The company in conformity with
the laws of Kentucky. The house is
now owned entirely by Equity people
and will be used by the A. S. of E. or
ganization and tobacco growers who
desire to pool their tobacco. More
than two hundred loads of tobacco
have been received and many other
farmers are waiting until the house
force can make room on the very
much crowded flowers so they can
deliver theirs.
There is plan on foot to enlarge
the capacity of the house materially
and this will probably be done in the
near future. The county Union of the
A. S. of E. meets here Friday Janu-
airy 9TH and in all probability the
question of charging the Hartford
house as well making arrangements
for more. room at other points in
the county will be considered.
There yet seems to be few farm
ers who still persist in selling their
tobacco outright overlooking or dis
regarding the fact that they would
get as mulch money advanced to
them on pooling tobacco as they were
getting for it two years ago at out
right sale.

RIGHT-OF-WAY.
Condemnation Proceedings
Against r. 7. Ross Com
pleted Yesterday.

The case of the Hartford, Madi-
sonville and Eastern Railroad Com
pany against r. T. Ross involving
the right of way for the road bed
for the proposed railroad through
Ohio county was tried in Ohio Coun-
ty Court here this week, beginning
Tuesday. On the calling of the case
motions were made by the defend
ants attorneys to set aside the or
der appointing the commissioners
and to quash the report of the COM
missioners which, together with a
few other motions of minor impor-
lance, were overruled by the court.
The argument on these motions and
other preliminary proceedings took
all day Tuesday. Wednesday morn
ing the attorneys for the defendant
made motion to have the jurors to
try the case summoned at least five
miles away from points which the
proposed road will touch, on the
idea that people living nearer than
five miles to the road would have
such an interest in its construction
they could not give the defendant a
fair trial. The motion was over
ruled and Messrs. B. S. Chamber
lin, George Barr, j. w. Sanderfur,
l.. d. Bennett, Joe Robertson and
Ed Ashby wore empannelled to try
the case. The taking of evidence
consumed the balance of the day
Wednesday. After brief argument

DON'T NEGLECT COLD.
Neglected Colds Lead to Consumption.
How Consumption Develops.

I ---~--
Nine cases of consumption out of ten
occur in this way:
A person catches cold. The cold is not
properly cured, and another cold is
caught.
This cold is dilly-dallied with, either
by no treatment whatever or some treat
ment that is Intellectual, and the cold
continues.
| Then another cold is caught and q
cough develops. Cough syrups are re-
sorted to, but they give only temporary
relief.
BY and by the patient gets tired Of
taking medicines and cough syrups and
gives up in despair.
The cold continues to develop and the
cough grows worse.
Then the doctor is called in, only to
discover that the patient is in the first
stages of consumption.
1t was just in this way that Miss
Powell, Of Aurora, Ind, became sick.
She caught a cold, and not considering
1t serious, neglected it, thinking as
many others do, that would "wear off,"
However, it chung to her tenaciously,
and in two weeks she found her health
in a serious condition.
Fortunately, Peruna had been brought
to her notice, and she took a course of
this remedy before it was too late.
In a week the cough and cold were
broken, and three weeks treatment
completely restored her to health.
This is what Peruna is doing all the
while. Not day, and probably not an
hour passes in which some one does not
have similar experience with Peruna.
Cure the Slight Colds and Avoid
Consumption.
The first step toward consumption IL
q cold. The next step is . failure to cure
it promptly. The third step is the de-
velopment of catarrh, which gradually
becomes chronic. The fourth step, the
catarrh begins to spread from the head
to the throat, then TO the bronchial
tubes, and finally into the lungs. 1t IL
then consumption in the first stage.
Atany time during the progress Of ca
tarrh, from the first onset of the cold to
it's final settlement in the lungs, Peruna
can be relied upon to stop the disease.
II you have taken q cold, buy Peruna
without delay. One bottle in the be-
ginning will do more good than a half
dozen bottles after the catarrh has
fastened itself on the lungs.
Thousands Of Testimonials.
We have on file thousands of testi-
monials from people who have been
cured of catarrh of the lungs by Peruna.
We can give our readers only a slight
glimpse of the vast array of unsolicited
endorsements we are receiving every
month. MOTHER physician in the world
has received such volume OF enthu-
siastic letters of thanks as DR.. Hartman
for Peruna.

A NEW COUNTY,
Plans on Foot OFOrm AnOth-
err Beckham County.
Out of Portions of Ohio. Gray
son and Breckenridge With
Fordsyiile as County Seat.


Breckenridge county, to the Louis
Vile Herald in part says:
1t has developed during the past
week that the state administration
will make determined effort at the
coming session of the Legislature to
establish new county out of por-
tons of Ohio, Grayson. Breckenridge,
and, perhaps, part Of Davies coun-
ties, to be named Beckham, in hon
or of the Governor, with the county
= seat at Fordsville.
The citizens of Fordsville are very
DESTROYS of living in the capital of
county, and the project to establish
county with Fordsvslle as the coun-
ty seat has been agitated for thirty
years or more.
Judge N. McC. Mercer well
s1Snown Democrat politician. has been
employed to take care of the legal
phases of the matter, and X. II.
Young. County Surveyor of Jeffer-
son county, and a nephew of Col.
Bennett II. Young. has been secured
to survey the boundary lines.
This is no easy matter to do, on ac-
count of the Constitution, which
prohibits the creation of a county of
Jess than 400 square miles. or which
would reduce anyof the counties from
which it shall be taken to less area
than 400 square miles. or the boun-
Diary line of which would pass within
less than ten miles of any county seat.
Judge Mercer and Mr.. Young
were in consultation at Fordsville
last week and he went there upon
receipt of a telegram from the at
torney.
The local Democratic organization
of the three counties are strongly
for the bill and it is said, that Chas.
Beard, the Republican Represen-
tative of Ohio county, is also for the
measure; on account of the fact that
Fordsvile is his home. Gov. Beck
ham is very much in favor of the
scheme because he wants a county
named for him and he thinks he sees
three more votes for himsef in his
race for United States Senator two
years hence.
II the county should be established
it will work a peculiar Hardship up
on the citizens residing in the terri
tory to be taken from Breckenridge
county. Two magisterial districts of
the county owe $54, 900, the unpaid
portion Of sum voted to aid in build
ing part of what is known as the
Louisville, Henderson and st. Louis
railroad, and this territory is within
the taxed district. The transference
of these people into new county
will not relieve them Of the payment
of this subscription, while it will
largely increase their taxes on ac-
count of the enormous expense of
erecting county buildings, etc.
1t is extremely doubtful if 400
square miles of territory can be laid
out that will meet with all the re-
quirements of the Constitution, and
the entire matter should be thorough
ly investigated by every member of
the Legislature. They should re-
member the great expense of at
tempting to create that other county
called Beckham, during its brief, but
vlegal life.

No one dreamed Of the possibility that
the state might be carried by the democrats.
Last year it gave to Mr. Roosevelt for presi-
dent plurality of over 100000: the year be-
fore it had elected Herrick governor by over
100000; and for years before that it had been
giving republican majorities of similar magni-
tude. Hence the railroad interests devoted
their attention to winning over the republi-
can machine, which they did, ignoring the
democrats. The result was that the repub-
lican state convention, with Secretary TAFT
present to urge Endorsement of the presidents
position, deliberately refused to do so; and
the party machine directing the canvass later
came out, through Senator Foraker against
the president and squarely on the side OF
letting the railroads make what rates they
pleased. It's position was SO clearly hostile
to the national administration that Secretary
Taft's one speech in the state near the end
of the canvass was devoted rather to answer
ing Foraker than. to presenting reasons for
supporting the party ticket at the polls On
the other hand the democrats indorsed the
presidents railroad policy and repeatedly
called the attention Of voters to the attitude
OF the two parties on this ISSUE And the
democrats won. We have not heard this
claimed as a victory for the president on the
railroad ISSUE but we may be very certain
that a republican sweep would ere this have
been heralded through the country as evil
dence of popular opposition to public rate
control-Springfeld Republican.

FUTURE OF POPULAR RULE

"The Spirit of Democracy" is the title OF I
series of articles written by Charles Fletcnel
Dale, the first of which has just appeared ii
he Springfield (Mass.) Republican. For tru'
democracy, or government of the people by tn
people and for the people, he predicts glorious
uture In his preface he says:
NY purpose in this series Of articles, is
to show what real democratic government is.
People have studied the outside OF the body
of democracy; they have hardly begun TO
know what makes it's life, Or upon what us
good health depends Democracy Is on trial
in the world, on a more colossal scale tnan
ever before It's friends perhaps never faced
more difficult problems. Neither have they
ever had SO much reason to hope FOR success.
/ have no easy panacea for the Ills ana
grievances that disturb the world. can
venture no prophecy as to the exact form
which maturer civilization will take. What
generation was ever able to lift it's most
gifted men to see the details of the line
Of march of mankind? There is, however,
a certain spirit of humanity or good Will
which all the clearest thinkers are coming
to agree is the essential factor in civilization.
This spirit is growing among men. All the
signs of the times go to show that the world
is coming to demand this spirit, as the hungry
body Graves food. / hope to show that in the
growth of this spirit we find the clew to un-
derstand and to work out the splendid expert
ment of democracy / may be thought to
exaggerate certain evils, for example, the
mischief of militarism and craftsmanship. l
wish, however to disclaim any narrow phil
losophy touching the problem OF evil | ac-
cept the facts of savagery and barbarisn,
as I accept the facts of necessary period Of
childhood in the life of each individual.

The Columbus Press Post condemns the bru-
tally of fraternity limitations which seems to
be result of the increasing brutality of college
sports:
The inquest into the death of Stuart l..
Pierson, the Kenyon college student, killed
at Gambler last Saturday night during his
initiation into college fraternity, presents
some startling disclosures as to the brutality
of the methods used during special initia-
lions. There is little doubt that Pierson
was tied to the railroad track, and that
while thus bound, met death from passing
train. It would seem that in the face OF this
fatality, and the many others which the last
man now lies in the hospital and grave fears
are entertained for his recovery. 1t is GER
tainly time that definite measures were taken
to wipe out this form Of brutality from college
life.

GRAFT AND ITS REMEDIES

The ethical aspect of graft is discussed i
he Outlook and the following remedies are SUI
sested
Graft may not be worse in American
democracy than Russian bureaucracy; not
worse in the republic in the twentieth cen
fury than in the French empire in the nine
teenth But it is more widespread. In
democracy both virtues and vices more
easily become epidemic. Graft is confined
to no department. to no party. TO no locality

the city governments. In the postofice de-

RESULTS IN OHIO

The result in Ohio is variously interpreted
The Columbus Press Post is inclined to regard
1t as vindication for the democratic party:
1t is a splendid victory for the party,
triumph of and vindicatiOn for former demo
cratic administrations. And the victory might
have been greater. Had the county organiza-
tion grasped the possibilities of the state sit
uation as it did of the local situation and
had it given to the head of the state ticket
the same energetic loyalty it gave the city
and county tickets, Governor Herrick would
not have carried Franklin county. This lack
of appreciation of moral issues has been
beating democrats in Ohio for years. When
a great moral question is at stake a mere
majority of 100000 in a previous year is not
formidable and melts away in the face OF
an aroused public sentiment. All that Is
required is the issue and the man. The
people will see to the rest. Will politicians
ever come to realize this?
