The Democrats of Louisville,
have planned a reception to be
given Hon. w. j. Bryan, in
Louisville on his way West from
ew..York. Mr.. Bryan has ac-
copied the invitation, and it is
expected that hundreds of promi
nent Democrats from every
Southern state will be present.
There is one thing certain, no
warmer and more enthusiastic
welcome will never be extended
our distinguished citizen than he
will receive in Kentucky's me-
tropolis. His welcome to New
York may be louder, and his
greetings more numerous, but
not more sencere. From the
way things are turning, and the
way people are, moving, 1T looks
that as Washington was first in
war, first in peace, and first in
the hearts of his countrymen,
even so it is with w. J. Bryan
in the great political reforma-
ton launched by his ability and
eloquence but a few years since.
He is the grandest American cit
izen now living, measured by
public confidence and esteem.

first will not drink water unless

the second forbids his family to

WE'D, AUGUST |. 1906.

Hon. John D. White made his
speech to a small audience in the
court house last Wednesday. and
like Congressman Edwards tour
through this part of the district,
failed to arouse any enthusiasm.
1t was our privilege to listen to
his entire speech of more than
one and half hours, and to be
plain and square must say, that
he is one of the strong and force
full debaters of this State. His
opposition to the policy of his
party in some of the past cam
paigns has placed him at dis
advantage with many Republi-
cans, and this predicament ought
to be highly consoling to Dem
ocrats. Realizing that our party
has just reason for the belief
that if the next Congress is not
Democratic, that it will be, at
least desperately close, we fail to
see why any Democrat should
aid or encourage Mr.. Whites
election. In our judgment he is
the man Of all men in this dis
trict that Democrats should want
defeated, not because Of his de-
mands for fair play and better
politicalsme in his own par
ty, butbecause of his ability to do
Democratic measures more harm
in Congress than any other Re-
publican in the district or even
in the State. y Should we get a
majority in Congress, or should
it be exceedingly close, with the
Crested Jay Hawker" in that
body, then Democrats would re-
alize his fulltforce and powers.
No Democrat should be deceived.
John ID. White is notsa Democrat
and not a bolter from single
principle of.the Republican par
ty, but to the contrary is Re-
publican of the old school with
sufficient power of mind to prove
of tremendous harm to our party
in Congress. AS things now are
Democrats ought to stand afar
off and not throwia straw across
the path of the present Congress
man, or rather give courage to
the new entry, Mr.. Herd. The
fact is he would probably do us
less harm than the present in
cumbent. This is not dem
ocratic contest, and it is to be
hoped that not single one will
take part in the decision of Sc
Letting a Republican nominee
and especially to encourage, not
only one of the ablest, but one
of the bitterest opponents of
Democratic principles and meas
ures. His speech last Wednes-
day ought to be convincing to
every Democrat who heard him.

Marian Montgomery Drops Down the

Cured at the Sebree coal mines
at that place Monday evening
about 6 o'clock. Marian N.
Montgomery, an old and trusted
employe of the coal company,
was down in the mine and
wanted to come up in the cage.
He gave the signal for the cage
to be raised expecting Engineer
Caxton to start the engine and
bring him up. But Engineer
Caxton was at this time in his

from the mine and young man
by name, Morris Bell, who lives
in Russellville and has been an
employe only a short time, at
tempted TO raise the cage. As
the cage neared the top of the
shaft Bell did not know which
lever to pull and lost control of
the engine. The cage flew to
the top with terrific force and
smashed through the roof. The
force of the shock broke the cage
loose and il fell to the bottom of
the shaft $50 feet killing Mont
gomery instantly. A crew fixed
up block and tackle and
brought the body up at s O'Clock.

three friends were standing near
the passenger depot talking.
Ed Berry, colored, came down

walked by the crowd again re-
marking that some one had

to put solne hot lead in them.
At this he palled a gun from his
pocket. Deputy Barnett saw
the gun aud told the negro to
consider himself under arrest,
instead of doing this he began to
walk off. Barnett called his at
tention to the star he wore and
again told him to hault. Berry
made a quick turn and snapped
his pistol at Barnett who then
shot him in the arm. Berry
again attempted to shoot but
his pistol again missed fire and
Barnett shot HIM in the leg.
Berry then ran in front of Ar
