LOOK OUT BIRDS
The Fatal Fifteen OF November Is Now
Here.

The fifteenth of November has
arrived and with its advent ends
the security OF the thousands of
game birds IN Kentucky. The
boom of the shotgun is heard in
the land and the wbir of wirgs
as the surviving birds seek pro.
lection in some neigboring woods
or thicket.
AS it is against the laws OF the
State. to sell, barter or give
away any quail the question nat
urally arises what will the ex
pert shots do with their surplus
game. Sometimes the hunter
kills as many as 80 or 100 birds
and it is impossible for one
family to use so many. This be-
ing the case it would be good
idea for hunters to bear thus fact
in mind and kill no more birds
than their family could use.

MILLIONS AT HAND.
For University in LouisvilIe-Eastern
Philanthropia will Equal any Sum
Given by Louisville.

The Louisville Post says,
The many futile efforts In the
past for the establishment of a
great university in Louisville
seem about to be crowned with
a success which has surpassed
even those heretofore m 0 s I
sanguine.
1t is now announced ,lefiinite.
ly that one of the foremost mil.
lionalres of the country has
promised to give a practically
unlimited sum of money for the
creation of a great institution oi
learning, provided t h e city
raises, in any way it may desire
sum equal to that which hs
will give.
The first proposal of the mil
lionaire in question was $500,
600. In conversation with tw,
gentlemen from Louisville three
weeks ago the university builder
said:
II do not see how you cal
even establish a university il
Louisville of the kind that woul6
really do your city credit and al
the same time advance the cause
of education on less than ST.,
100000. The moment that you
can show me that you have
raised 100000 / will send you
$5OO,0OO. This ought to be
good beginning"
This conversation took place
in New York during the month
of October. One Of the Louis
Vile men present is trustee in
the University of Louisville.
The other is Louisville man of
large means, who is deeply in
terested in the plan to locate a
university here.

Kind Words.

The following was in the edi-
torial column of the Madison
vile Journal last week:
Have you read "Bits o. Blue
grass?" No? Well now is the
time to read il. 1t is "A small
volume of poems written by Mr..
j Il. Fawcett, business manager
of the Darlington Bee. Nobody
ever dreamed that Fawcett was
a dreamer, until he came out
with this lovely bouquet of po-
ems, which Immediately places
him in the line of famous Ken
lucky poets, and shows him to
be worthy successor of Henry
Stanton as the BLUEGRASS Bard.
No Kentucklan can read Bits o..
Bluegrass without loving his
state and his home the better.
Mr.. Fawcett makes no apology
for writing these poems except
what may be found in the fol-
lowing preface:
Bits-o'- Bluegrass, bits-o, Sunshine,
From Kentucks's wooded hills,
Sparkling. dancing. like the water
From her springs and laughing
rills.
Song of thrush and song of red bird,
Thrill the soul with music sweet I;
Wandering through her lovely wild
wood
Makes the heart with rapture beat.
j. Z. Fawcett is a native Ken
tuckian, having been born and
reared at Guthrie, Ky. In his
youth he learned telegraphy, land
his first employment was as L. &
N. agent and operator at Shep-
herdsville, Ky. He was trans
ferred as operator to Darlington,
where he held his position until
he resigned and went into the
Bee office as business manager,
which position he now holds. He
is also largely engaged in the
real estate business. He is a
high-toned gentleman in every
respect, and his soul is full of
love for his native state and his
fellowman. That he sees nature
as she displays her lovely charms
lin Kentucky, and that he can tell
lit in a rhythmic song, is proved
lby "Bits O'-Bluegrass." Read
lit.

The United States has not
only the most highly intelligent
fighting force in the world, but
1T is the best armed, according
to the report of Brig. Gen.
William Crozier, chief of ord
nance of the army. The regular
troops, have been equipped with
arms and ammunition of the
most improved design. L h g
soldiers are all equipped with
the new magazine rifle, the in
vention of an American officer,
which is regarded as the most ef-
ficient weapon of its kind in ex
Istence. The new design of field
artillery has also been issued,
doing away with the type of
field gun which has been in use
for many years. Ammunition of
high grade is being manufac
tured in sufficient quantity to
meet all possible demands, and
Uncle Sam is in very good shape
to meet any form of trouble, il

w aShingt0n, NOV. Z.-(opec-
iaD-For months the War De.
partment has been petitioned by
cities to establish. a
large army post south of the
Mason and Dixon line. This
week Mayor McNinch of Char
lotte, N. c., appeared in the
capital to urge the federal au-
thorities to fix on a site near his
city. While the War Depart
inentls willing to lend all as
sistance possible toward estab-
lislnng a big Southern post, the
matter rests entirely with Con-
gress, which makes the appro-
priations. Mavor McNinch de-
clares that the Southern people
woslld welcome such general
post, and points to the fact that
the Southern young men make
the best of soldiers These
Youths seen more ready to en-
list than their brothers of the

mountain states are almost in

When Senator elect Beckham

younger than the Nebraskan.
He has had remarkable career
in politics, having been nomi-
mated for the State legislature

being Speaker of the House at
twenty eight. The following year
he was named for Lieutenant
governor with t h i'll, fated

was assassinated. became gov

life are looking forward to the

interest in the big waterway will
stimulate the growing sentiment
at home for the vigorous de-
velopment of the rivers and har-
bors of the nation. This ques.
tion in Importance is gradually
pushing the tariff from first
place. Commercial and agricul
tural interests are gradually be-
ginning to realize that if trans
portation rates are to be re-
duced to the lowest possible
level, the rivers of the country
must be made navigable for
steamers and barge lines. With
water competition, the railroad
tariffs would be scaled sharply,
but not even the railroads fear
loss of revenue, for the stimula-
tion to commerce would be so
great that the increased volume
of traffic would make up fully
for the loss of higher carrying
charges. The National Rivers
and Harbors Congress at its con-
vention here December 6 and z

 The resolution was adopted by an over whelmng majority.
