Ilardinsburg, Special, Feb. o.
The following article relative

"A Madisonville Journal repre-
sentative interviewed Mr.. II. II.
Holeman, President of the Madi-

Holeman said the road was posi-

will run over the Branch to Irv-

the main line and on to Louis
vile. If the road ever goes to
Cloverport, it will be in the far
future, though it was the first in
tcntion for the road to tap the
Texas at that point. The right
of way has all been secured with
the exception of that portion
which lies between Madisonville
and the Hopkins county line. Con
struction work is likely to begin
in the early spring and will be
rapidly pushed to completion 1t
seems that the time is now ripe
for the citizens of this town to
take some steps to induce the L.

price is private, but we are infor-

of $4,000. This is considered one

two of the best all-round hustlers
in Kentucky and their many

they continue to be residents of

that Judge Voolfolk and family
will become residents of Branden-

ing the splendid article by Judge

my mind was irreslstibly drawn to
another subject which should receive
the attention Of every one who has the
welfare of Kentucky at heart, and
that is the present system Of district

are disgrace, which we know they
are, it Is even greater disgrace that
hundreds of Kentucky's fair SONS and

take their places in the world with
practically no education. | wonder
how many realize that under our pres
ent system the school year consists of
about seventy school days and the
average number of days tine children
attend is about fifty rive days, hard
ly enough to pay their parents to buy
hooks for them. Will progressive
farmers come to Kentucky to find
homes knowing these conditions and
should they come, will they stayI Just

the negotiations there have reached the
stage which, according TO tn reports re-

A long conference occurred at the

subject under discussion.
1t is not unlikely that some Of the

here, is not among the powers chiefly

Favorite for the State

leaders and members of the legislature
who have been Respondent regarding the
prospect Of Republican success in the

every side the opinion is expressed that
Mr.. Hughes would prove a winning can.
didate for governor and that he would
save the party from the most serious
Of the dangers which threaten it. The
Republican party managers regard Mr.
Hughes as better fitted to meet the pc

man who could be named They feel
that an attempt is being made by Will
liam r. Hearst TO steal the Republican
thunder and to make his campaign on
the basis Of the public Indignation arous-
ed by the disclosures incident to the in

Mr.. Hughes, they argue, would typify
the investigation and enable the party
to retain the credit attaching to ii.
legislators who have been associated
with Charles II. Hughes in the gas and

his qualifications for the Office Of COVER
