nations of mankind can not perish
utterly.
Though our tribal organization Is
fading away, we will be transformed
as O potent factor, an element within
the body Of Christian civilization.
The philosophy OF the history Of the
future shall trace many of the prin-
ciples of government and institutions
so dear to them to those they found
among us.
Now that we have demonstrated
that we have the ability to make 70,
ourselves and our children homes,
and having sanction of every law, lie,
us make for ourselves this firm reso.
luton: Let our every act speak IL
forth; let the elements of forces OF
nature carry our resolutions to our
fellow men the world over; let them
in their senses know and feel it and
enter upon the performance Of our
high mission.
Many of you have accomplished Il
already: many have begun it; begin
at once and devote all your energies
of soul, mind and body to the task
sct before us. even If 1t takes years
yes. a lifetime, to carry it out.
When we have thus resolved to
make for ourselves and our children
homes, we will have indited in and
upon ourselves q law for our guild
ance which divine and human law
will protect and sustain us In its
maintenance. No statutory law will
ever annul it, and we shall then have
risen to the place Of our high destiny

Last week the Flinch people var
led their usual program most pleas
antly. Mrs Robert Burchett was the
hostess for that week, and as she
is at their summer home at Salt
Peter the town members made an
outing OF the meeting and the usual
phrase, "a perfectly ioveiy time, :
hardly does justice to the occasion
The members and few invited
guests drove IN TO Mrs. Burchett's in
the afternoon and were cordially re-
ceiyed. The Finch tables were set
under the beautiful trees which
adorn the place, Here the games
were played,-when the ladies' were
not eating plums.- and when any
body grew hungry she went to
table fairly groaning with good
things and helped herself to fried
chicken. sandwiches, pickles. Jelly
croquettes and numerous other eat
ables prepared in a manner all Mrs.
Burchett's own. No mishap befell
the gay party. aud they will long

Hargis Acquitted.

We have all along felt that. before
the evidence and the argument were
completed, It would be proved to the
satisfaction Of somebody or other
that James b. Marcum came to his
death from biting himself in the
back Of the neck. The somebody or
other turns out to be al of twelve
men of Lee county, whS er twen-
ty-two minutes Of abse from the
court room. brought in a verdict ac-
quitting James Hargis and Edward
Callahan OF the murder Of James B.
Marcum.
The verdict Of not guilty in the
Marcum trial Is the elimination Of a
long and bitter fight in courts in an
attempt 70 convict James Hargis and
Ed Callahan as chief conspirators in
one OF the darkest crimes IN Ken
lucky history. James B. Marcum was
a mountain Republican lawyer of ey-
cellent standing He was engaged
three years ago as an attorney in
the contest against Hargis and Cal
lahan, respectively Democratic Coun-
ty Judge and sheriff-elect. 10 Dust
them from their offices on an allega-
tion Of corrupt election. Much BIT
terness was aroused and frequent
open ruptures occurred
In May, 1903, Marcum was shot to
death from behind in the jackson
courthouse, Curt Jett and Tom White
were convicted and given life terms
for the murder II was charged that
they We're the tools OF Callahan
Hargis and others. Jett, after his
conviction confessed that he shot
Marcum and that his act was inspir-
ed by Callahan and Hargis. On the
witness stand. however, he repudiated
the confession and said he alone was
responsible The acqulttal FOLLOWED
largely on this repudiation.
A jury Of Clark-county citizens re-
turned verdict for $4,000 damages
a year ago against Hargis on the
allegation that he had caused Mar
cum TO be killed The suit was filed
by Mrs. Marcum.-Louisville Times.

viii be surprised 10 see how much
fiction has been woven around this
important historical event. the most
important TO occur on the Virginia
frontier during the French and In
dian wars. Only recently our his
'oriesi students investigated the facts
connected with this movement and
find that the accounts contained OF
the famous expedition in Wither's
chranical Border Warfare. is little
else than legends, copied from the
newspaper article written by Hugh
Paul Taylor for the "Fincastle Mir
ror' in 1929.
The facts are that the expedition
IN the course Of IFS travels. never
reached a point further west than
the present site Of WharnclIffe. a
station situated on our present Nor
fold q Western railroad, AT the low
er end Of what are known as the
Rouehs OF the Tug the long rap
ids in the river where the expedition
lost its supplies, and was thus forced
TO abandon the object OF fits march.
The derivation Of the name Tug"
which the northern fork OF the Big
Sandy received Is credited TO the
laborious efforts OF members OF the
party. as devoid Of supplies, and dur
ing the bleak days Of the month Of
February, they tugged at the oars
Of the boats In an effort to steer and
pull them through and over the rush
ing and foaming waters Of what is
now termed the "Roughs Of the
Tug
This was the tugging.r the place
upon which they battled against
whore they "tugged." and the river
obstacles. and for that reason the
stream was given the name OF Tug
river The journal states that the
expedition was never at any time
nearer tAap within forty miles OF the
famous Ru)nins Springs. which play
ed such Appointment part In Taylor's
fiction OF the experiences Of the
party comprising the expedition, and
which was In turn copied by withers
as history. and which at later day,
writers have used when speaking OF
the natural gas interests of the State.
