Seven Of the Present Force Among Whom

Are Thus Thrown Out Of

ONLY THROUGH TIE VOTE

The refusal Of the school commission
ers to re.engage married women as teach
ers in The public schools has stirred up a
small sized tempest, although the seven
teachers barred out are not back of any
agitation for reinstatement. Their
friends are, however, and they are urging
their cause in d vigorous manner. The
seven teachers barred are Mrs. Harriet
ri Grady Mrs. Katherine Bowlcs Will
Jams, Mrs. Lena B. Northrop, Mrs. Ber.
nice Darling 0dgers, Mrs. Fannie Draper
Walker, Mrs Ethel Keith Wales and
Mrs. Mary Hunter Keast
One Of these teachers, Mrs. Williams,
has been connected with the city schools
for seventeen years, and Mrs. Odgers has
been teacher for ten years while the
others have served for lesser terms. Mrs
Grady had intended to conclude her work
With this spring term. All these teach
ers are considered TO be among the best
in the corps of 54 now on the roles, and
three Of them are graduates Of Spauld-
Ing high school.

An Old Agitation.

The agitation for the removal Of I'M
married teachers has been on for a year
or more and ii came to a head at the last
meeting Of the commissioners, at which
time the Encouragement of the teacher;
was taken lip. With two exceptions, in
addition 70 the seven noted above, the
teachers were reelected by the commits.
sioners. and on the motion to hire the
married teachers now ON the role the
vote stood three 70 three, which tit
meant that the seven were not wanted
next year.
Superintendent Mathewson was &C.
cordingly instructed to engage other
teachers to I'll these seven positions, and
in accordance with those instructions he
is now looking about for others. He
called q meeting Of the disbarred teach
ers and told them Of the action OF tho
commissioners, thinking it to be no more
than fair that they should know the vote
of the commissioners and why they were

Arguments Uaed.

Friends Of these teachers and many
people interested in the schools are TAX
ing up the matter and already there has
been a great deal Of talk The chief ar
gument advanced by those who are
against employing married teachers is
that the teachers, having husbands, are
not dependent upon their teaching for a
living and that by taking positions in
the schools they are crowding ont
younger teachers Further argument Is
made fbat the place for a married woman

The three commissioners opposed to
throwing out the married teachers point
10 the conditions locally, saying that no
young teachers are being crowded ont Of
positions that no discrimination Is made
against married wonen seeking positions
in any other business than that Of
lteaching that the teachers barred out

Erroneous Report.

The report that DR.. NJ. H. Davis, of
Mayslick, who married Miss Emma
Hukiil, OF this city, suddenly expired
while driving an automobile near Blue
Licks Sunday was not true. The re
port caused considerable worry in Paris
and much sympathy was expressed for
the doctor and bis good wife until the
matter was cleared up over the tele-
phone.
There was, however, a DR.. Davis.
who died of heart failure in his auto
mobile Sunday at Blue Licks. He was
from Maysville. His wife and some
friends were in the car with DR.. Davis
at the time he died. The death stroke
came to him with but slight warning.
He remarked to his wife that he felt
iii, and asked her to take the wheel
and steer the car. Before he could
bring the machine to a complete stop
ne had expired. Mrs. Davis drove the
car to the nearest house and called for
assistance.

Pulling Together.

Gov. J. C. w. Beckham. United
States Senators James B. McCreary
and Thomas H. Paynter, Mayor Robert
w. Bingham, of Louisville. and every
member OF Kentucky's delegation in
the lower house of Congress have
united in a letter to the members of
the Democratic National Committee,
requesting them and inviting them to
hold the next Democratic Convention
in Louisville. The letter points out
Louisville's advantages and recites the
fact that the city is situated midway
between the North and South, easily
accessible from every State IN the
Unoin, that it possesses the largest
auditorium hall in the United States,
and has ample hotel accommodations.
In the letter all these prominent Off
Gals, Democrats and Republicans alike
extend a genuine, hearty, sincere old
fashioned Kentucky invitation and
promise the Democrats of the nation
that if they hold the convention there
they will receive a true Kentucky wei
come. All our politicians have united
in this common cause.

To Be Rigidly Enforced.

The postal laws prohibiting written
messages of any character in merchan-
disc packages or letters on which less
than two cents an ounce has been paid
are to be enforced more rigidly from
now on, and Paris people who have
been guilty Of such practice should
take care in the future. During the
last fiscal year postoffice inspectors
collected $780, for such violations.
In thousands of cases a short note or
memorandum was placed inside the
package of merchandise on which post
age was paid at one cent an ounce.
while the writing made it neces sary
that two cents an ounce should have
been paid.
Finding that in a great number of
cases the Offense is due to ignorance
of the law, and that the collection of
fines usually works hardship to the
very poor, especially where written
messages are made in returning cou-
pOns, tags and certificates for pre-
miums. Postmaster-Gene Meyer has
directed that proper notice be placed
in post offices warning the public
against such practice.

Sunland Chief a Winner.

Fagin second on bay horse by Bracken

Arbuckle. the champion harness stall
lion at the State Fair in 1905. Rex
Arbuckle did not make his usual good
showing, but he has been shown hard
and had just gotten off the cars.
Young Chief, shown by J. w. Brock,
of Georgetown, KY, was a winner last
year. defeating Moko Pearl, Rex Ar
buckle and others at Lexington, was
also outside the money. The winner
of this ring is one of the best bred
harness stations in the State, combin-
ing the blood of Harrison Chief, Indian

Car Shortage Anticipated Again.

That the car shortage in Kentucky
which came near causing a coal famine
last winter, will be even more pro-
nounced during the season of 1906-1907
is the belief of A. 7. Siler. a member
of the State Railroad Commission.
Mr. Siler says that the demand for
coal has been such that the roads have
not had a chance to get in condition to
anticipate a shortage and that dealers
in the cities should stock their yards
and prepare for time when it will be
difficult to get coal into the city.
1.-The situation as it appears to me, -
he said els serious. It does not seem
as though the car supply will be larger
and owing to the general and constant
demand it is likely to be even smaller.
The development of the coal regions,
while offering a larger. supply, is also
calling for larger means of transporta-
ton, and these the railroads may not
be able to furnish.
This is a gentle hint that the price OF
coal may be expected to soar. The
skyrocket tendencies of this commodity
are greatly deplored by the public.

Blue Grass Fair.

Amid the cheering of more than 10,
900 voices, accompanied by inspiring
music, the Blue Grass Fair Of 1907
opened auspiciously yesterday after
noon at Lexington. Both the day and
the gathering were typically Southern
and typically Kentuckian.
Not the least of attractions was that
grand old Kentuckian, Col. Henry
Watterson, who made the opening ad-
dress. The welcome which he receiv-
ed would have made any heart glad
and his happy response to the senti-
ment was one of the finest speeches
ever heard on any fair grounds. In
deed, as remarked by Hon. w. P Kim
ball, who INTRODUCED him, he is still the
type of the. grand old Kentuckian if
there be a new Kentuckian." Mr.
Watterson received many congratula-
lions on his speech when he had fin
iShed.
