Maud, March 15-Everything Is
on a boom; the orange trees are
blooming well and every body Is
planting corn and all who can run
are running.
Mrs. Florence Williams is very i'll.
R.F. Hart was down at his home
on the lakes last week. He says
that down there all of the deciduous
trees have buded out fresh and green
and that the orange buds on an
average are twice as long as the buds
elsewhere.
Crawford Crews passed through
Maud Monday.
Prof. II. G.. Murphy's school at
Beebranch closed last Friday. Prof.
Murphy has taught an excellent term
of school and we feel quite sure that
no one has any just right to find any
fault of his teaching at that place.
We were very much disappointed
not TO have Rev. Durrance with us
Sunday at Shady Grove, as 1t was
his regular appointment, but we had
some very nice singing and a lively
prayer meeting.
Also we hear that the girls OF
Shady Grove are talking of incor
porating against the bye. We
think it a very good idea.
Frank Durrance was in the COM
munity on business the first of the

nicely with John w. Gideons of

Friday last Deputy Sheriff Bob
Johnson, armed with a warrant
from St. Augustine, went to Fair
cloth & Virgins turpentine camp,
near Fort Meade, after a negro Ivy
the name of Daniel Davis, who was
wanted for an aggravated assault.
When the negro was found by
the officer he was ordered to throw
up his hands, the officer covering
him with pistol. Davis instead
of obeying reached for his hip
pocket, as though to draw a pistol
Deputy Johnson, thinking his own
life in danger, fired at the negro,
who turned and ran.
Saturday the negro died. A jury
of inquest was empanelled and ex-
amined into the matter and mainly
upon the evidence of the wife of
the dead negro, gave it as their
opinion that the officer was justi-
fed in shooting.
No further action was taken IN
the matter and the negro was taken
in charge by friends and buried
While the officer regrets being
forced to kill the negro, he feels
that it was his only chance, and no
blame is attached to him.-Bar-

Cloverport at the Methodist church this
evening, Rev. c. w. Musgrove. ID. D.,
will deliver an address in the interest of
the training school for boys which will
be established in Cloverport in the

Now that the school is virtually as
sured for this city the people should
enter into hearty accord with those who
have been instrumental in its location
here and lend every assistance in its
behalf
Rev. Musgrove is a forcible speaker
and will give the people an insight into
the many advantages to be derived from
such a school, not only to the boys and
young men who may attend, but to
Cloverport in many ways.

able speaker and show their apprecia-
ton in securing this institution for this
city. Speaking begins at 7:30 Wednes-

zines in question are Review of Re
views, $500; Success magazine, Sl00;

S1.00. Through our arrangements with
the publishers we are offering all three

ridge News one year for only $3.50.
Separately, the four would cost you
$500. Every family should take adj
vantage of this opportunity and sub
scribe for these magazines while this
proposition is in force. The publish
ers of these magazines have given us
only limited time TO carry the club
bing arrangements. Read the adver-
tisement on the seventh page of this
issue.

of direct farmer shipments and consign
their grain 20 this market so as % OBJ
tain the greatest possible returns for
what they have to sell. Bear in mind
that this same corn, no matter how fine
it is, will suffer a shrinkage of Is TO 20
per cent in water alone, to say nothing
of any other losses by attempting to
lib and hold same. My advice to all
corn raisers is: Sell your surplus corn
on any swell in the price at this time,
and if there is depression in the mar
ket few weeks later buy little May
corn.
Oats shipments have been very lib
eral for the week, regardless of the
blockaded condition of the railroads.
Reports from Minneapolis claim low
quality in oats receipts. Receipts are
not sufficient to enlarge stocks 1t will
not be surprising if there is a tempor-
AIRY set back in the price for this month,
but taking yield for the year, visible
supply, local stocks and poor quality of
much of the oats in the Northwest into
consideration, we think that there is
more than a reasonable chance for a
strong market following any temporary
break. CARR.

SOME THINGS THAT
E. A. GULLl0N HAS DONE.

Prof. E. A. Gullion has probably had
more to do with common school legis-
lation than any other school man in
the State. He wrote most of the
amendments that have been made in
the common school law in the last six
teen years and pressed them upon the
Legislature, having been selected for
that purpose by the Kentucky Educa-
tional Association. He served without
compensation, too. Among the amend
ments was one abolishing the short
term schools.
&If elected State Superintendent Mr..
Gullion will not only know the wants
of the schools and school system, but
will know how to meet them so far as
legislation is concerned.

nothing could be done to subdue the
flames Everything in the building
was destroyed. 1t is not known how
the fire ori riginated, several theories being
vanced. The loss, while not fully es-

A LIFE DEVOTED TO
EDUCATIONAL ADVANCEMENT

Frankfort, KY, October 4, 1906.
NV Dear Friend:-I am writing to you
in the interest of Mr.. E. A. Gullion, OF
Henry county, candidate for Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction. 1t has
been my pleasure to know Mr.. Gullion
during his long service as County Sup
erintendent of Carroll county, and as
editor of a paper at New Castle. In
both positions he has been an ardent
advocate of improved education, in
latter years using the columns of his
paper advancing the cause of Ken
tucky schools.
During my term of Office many inn
provements have been made in educa-
ton. Two Normal Schools have been
established; the term increased from
five to six months; the per capita has
grown to $3.50, the largest in the his
tory Of the State. have planned much
other work that will greatly rebound to
the benefit of the schools, and if elect
ed, l am satisfied that Mr.. Gullion will
push these plans to execution. l shall
remain in school work as a member of
his State Board of Examiners, and as
such will be closely identified with the
cause of education.
Thanking you for your cooperation
in the past, and trusting that you will
help Mr.. Gullion in the State primary,
Nov. 9, beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
JAS. H. FUQUA, Sr.,

WATTERSON
AND POWELL
Give Reasons For Supporting
Senator McCreary In Sena-
tOrial Race.

The Hon. Henry Watterson, editor OF
the Courier Journal, in concluding a
long and brilliant editorial in the paper
of date October 18th, 1906, says:
First, that Senator McCreary is
better qualified for Senator, or for .,any
other position of honor and trust than
Gov. Beckham."
Second, that Senator McCreary,
being the sitting Senator, and having
discharged the duties of Senator with
distinction and fidelity, it would be an
act ofingratitude and folly on the part of
the party he has served so long and so
well to turn him out"
Third, and finally, that Mr.. Waiter
son believes the defeat of Senator Nc
Creary and the choice of Gov. Beck
ham would seriously endanger at the
ensuing election the ticket thus named
by the Primary, for the reason that by
pursuing no other rule or policy than
that of ''you scratch my back and I'll
scratch yours, Governor Beckham has
lowered every standard and weakened
every tradition which in days gone by
made for the exaltation of Kentucky at
home and its glory abroad, thus raising
up in every part of the State disaffec-
ton among its best and truest Demo-
Gratis, and, as MANY of these greatly
fear, sowing the seeds of his own and
his party's Instruction.
Extract from letter writtenIby Rev.
DR.. E. L. Powell, pastor now and for
many years of the First Christian
church, Of Louisville, Ky, to.Rev II.
d. MacLachlan, of Shelbyville, Ky,
October 5th, 1906:
Il cannot bring myself to vote for
Beckham. The man has not been
square. l do not think that the tenn
perance people are called upon to per-
NIT themselves to be played with by an
insincere man"
The above statements coming from
the sources they do, necessarily COM
mend themselves to the serious consid-
Grafton of every Democrat in the state.
In this family contest" every true
Democrat will ponder we'll the claims of
each candidate for the high Office to
which each aspires and will cast his
vote for the man whom he deems the
best fitted to further the interests of the
great party of which he is a member.
The man who calls himself a Democrat
is not a Democrat, in the true sense,
if, in selecting his choice for office, he
submits to the dictation of another in
that choice, if he shall know and be-
lieve that the party's interest are best
subserved by the selection of the man,
other than the choice which another
may dictate to him. Democrats con-
slider well, before casting vote for any
one of the candidates for the nomina-
ton at the hands of the Democracy of
the several offices.

CARR'S
TRADE
LETTER.

The close of the week brought cable
reporting that less than 100000 bushels
out of the total of 5000, 600 bushels clear
ed from American ports for the week
was headed for the Liverpool market.
This discovery caused a sharp advance
in the price of wheat there. A previous
report gave information that very
large percentage of the wheat from At
lantic ports is going to the Mediteran-
can coast. This of course, includes a
great quantity of durum wheat, which
is being rushed out of the country, as
it is not considered a good milling
wheat here. We have the statement of
a practical grain man in the Northwest
to the effect that the DakotaS and Min
nesota have produced less milling wheat
(durum excluded than the black rush
harvest of a few years ago. Even al
lowing that the railroads in the spring
wheat country are favoring other busi-
ness, to the neglect of wheat, the fact
shortage in marketing in that country
cannot be accounted for except on the
ground that wheat-raisers are not anX-
ious to sell at present prices. For the
week closing today, the two big spring
wheat markets of the Northwest fell
short 1900 cars as compared with last
year. Since the Northwest harvest be-
gan, August 18th, there is a shortage
in receipts at same two markets of
$500 cars.
Although millers have been paying
81 cents premium over December con-
tracts for cash wheat "To arrive" the
movements have been so light that
stocks in Minneapolis are a stand-off
for the week, while Duluth, with much
larger receipts than Minneapolis, shows
a decrease in stocks of 500,0O0 bushels,
owing to the very heavy shipments by
Lake. These two points accumulated
one million bushels wheat for the same
week last year. 1t is claimed in North
west dispatches today that certain mills
we're to close down with view of fore
ing cheaper cash prices for the wheat
they need to grind. 1t is more than
likely that the closing down scheme
will be failure as it was last year,
and if so, period of decidedly stronger
wheat markets here and in the North
west is near at hand.
We believe conditions are working
very favorable for corn raisers who
have secured their crop in fine condi-
tion and can arrange to market it very
early. There is no doubt but that dry
rot has been discovered quite extern
sively in Illinois, Indiana and Missouri,
This will restrict marketing of corn
from these sections and western corn
raisers who are alert to the situation
should give little study to the matter
The Breckenridge news., 1906-10-31
PLENTY OF QUAIL.

Only two more weeks and the hunting
season will open. Local hunters are
looking forward to a season of rare
sport, as reports are coming in from
every section of the county that quail
are unusually plentiful and that several
coveys can be found in small fields.
1t seems a fact that birds are more
plentiful now than for several years,
and whether the number will be di-
minished to any great extent after the
hunting season, remains to be seen.
Judging from the talk of the men be-
hind the guns, there will not be enough
birds left in the county to furnish
a second-class scent for bird dog.
