IN HIS 84TH YEAR.
Capt. w. S. Goodwin, After
Lingering Illness, Died
Tuesday Morning.

After confinement to his room and
to his bad most of the time for near
lily a year, Capt. w. S. Goodwin
breathed his last Tuesday morning
at 5 o'clock, at his late home on
North Main street.
In the death of Capt. Goodwin,
which did not come Unexpectedly to
| his friends and immediate relatives,
the city has lost one of its oldest and
most respected citizens. Capt.
Goodwin was born in Trigg county
| in 1923. He was always industrious,
and even the weight Of four-score
years was not enough to keep him
from being an active man, though
his last three years and the death Of
his beloved wife, which occurred
something over a year ago, finally
caused him to retire to certain ex-
tent from intercourse with his many
friends.
Capt. Goodwin was man Of far
more than ordinary intelligence and
splendid conyersationalist. He
possessed fund of humor, was hos
pitable, generous and had way of
saying good things that few possess.
He was politeness personified, a man
of the strictest integrity-in other
words, 'the old-time Southern gen
tleman," never fearing to do the
the right or denounce the wrong in
high or low places. He seemed to
/ like everybody and gained the re-
spect and esteem Of all with whom
he met. He moved from Trigg
county to Hopkinsville about fifteen
! years ago, where he made many new
friends and took an active interest n
the affairs Of the city, watching its
growth and development with the
pleasure peculiar to our older peo-
pie.
Capt. Goodwin was the most aged
member of the Baptist church of this
city, and at the time of her death his
wife was the most aged lady. When
they came here to spend the remain
der of their days they transferred
their membership to the local church
and were counted among the most
jealous of the congregation.
Capt. Goodwin is survived by six
children, namely: Mrs. A. S. White
and Miss Mabel Goodwin, of this city;
Mrs. 7. D. Goodwin, of Arson, Tex;
A. H. Goodwin, of STAMFORD, Tex;
j. S. and w. S. Goodwin, of Fresno,
Cal.
Funeral services were held at the
family residence at 9 o'clock We'd
nesday morning. The remains, ac-
companied by number of relatives
and friends, were carried to the old
Goodwin burying ground at Cerule-
an Springs and laid to rest beside the
dear ones who had preceded him, to
that place where parting is no more.

TOBACCO RAISERS
Met Here Monday and Talk
ed Over Important
Question.

In response to the call of County
Chairman Radford the precinct
chairmen of the county met at the
court house Monday. The meeting
was the largest gathering of the
Dark District Association that has
been held since last spring.
Many questions of vital interest
were discussed and reports from the
precinct committeeman brought to
the surface many facts very graft
fing to the unterrifed and unterrif-
able tobacco growers. 1t was shown
that thus far Abs acres of this
years. growth has already been
pledged to the association, against
.5,017 pledged during the whole pre-
ceding year. A reasonable estimate
places the amount that will be pledg-
ed this year at 1000 acres, or 70 per
cent. Of the entire average,
1t was determined at the meeting
yesterday that every member of the
association make an effort to secure
the influence of every merchant,
lawyer and doctor in the county.
To do this printed pledges will be
circulated asking the members
to secure signatures pleding the
signers to do all they can in sup
port of the association, The associ-
alton, while it knows pretty well lin
the county, who are its opponents,
thinks it best to know every man
hwho is its friend, whether he be
merchant, farmer, or whatever may
be his calling.
The association is now more in
earnest than ever before and it is
I determined to leave nothing undone
to hold the great advantages already
| secured and to press forward for
/ greater things in the future. Alto
gether the meeting-was a most en-
thusiastic one and the speeches by
different gentlemen did much to
strengthen the members and will
cause them to do their full part in
the future.
The books for pledges will be
closed October l. New officers are
to be chosen in September.

SECURED THE FRACHISE
IN GLOUCESTER COUNTY
the Street Railway to the Great
Northern Neck.

Mr.. James M. Cumming, who Is ell
gineering the building of gasoline
street railway from Old Point to
Gloucester Courthouse, returned yes.
terday at noon from Gloucester coun-
ty, where he secured franchise
from the board of supervisors of that
county.
With the Gloucester franchise Mr..
Cumming now has his line complete
so far as the work of securing fran
chises is concerned. He had prey!-
ously secured similar franchises from
the boards Of supervisors in York,
Essex Middlesex, Elizabeth City
counties and the towns of Yorktown
and Phoebus.
Mi. Cumming will leave for Pitts.
burg next Tuesday to confer with the
men interested in the movement with
him.
Several days ago the promoters of
the street railway that will connect
the Virginia Peninsula with the
Northern Neck posted a check in the
sum of $25 900 as forfeiture that
they will build the road, provided
the necessary franchises and rights
of way are secured. Mr.. Cumming
hopes to begin the work of getting
the rights of way from Phoebus to
Gloucester Courthouse in few
weeks.
1t Is understood that the railway
will have it's terminus proper at
Phoebus, although, naturally the
tracks will be built down to Old
Point.
Mr.. Cumming said yesterday that
he is very much encouraged over the
prospects for the road and he feels
confident that the farmers through
out the section to be traversed by
his railway will use their efforts in
getting the rights Of way.

Hold Mineral Lands :,

A regular meeting of the board Of.
university and school lands was held
ON Thursday, April, &c. All members
OF the board were at the meeting. Be
sides the usual amount of routine bust
ness, several other matters Of import
ance were presented. There is q pro-
vision of the state constitution which
forbids the sale of school lands bear
Ing coal and consequently the sale of
school land in Mclean county was
disapproved. 1t is thought that some
amendment will be introduced at the
next meeting of the legislature that
will make the law less stringent, for
though undoubtedly good provision,
1t sometimes works a hardship, as 1t
prevents the sale of lands in the en-
tire western part of the state where
there are underlying coal beds.
