ing OF the State Executive Com
mittee of the United Daughters o.
the Confederacy, held here il wa:
decided to recommend TO the State
convention that an equestrian stat
ne to cost $4,000, be erected to the
memory of Gen. John II. Morgan
There has been aquestion whether
the monument to Gen. Morgan should
be surmounted simply by a stand
ing figure or an equestrian statue
The former would cost only $4,000
while the latter could not be erect
ed for less than $4,000.
Clyde Coleman of Falmouth vas
killed in very unusual way at the
fair held there recently. Coleman had
fifty cents bet on the horse that won.
and after his horse had passed him
as he stood about 100 feet from the
finish, Coleman stepped out into the
track to see around the crowd how
the race would terminate, and the
third horse coming on struck him in
the back and killed him.

past conventions OF the association.
make certain of realization.
The association is composed of men
Of all parties and not a few creeds
II numbers the followers of more
than one profession 1t has demons
trated in the few years Of its organ
iation that Kentuckians have dis
covered a more effective method of
serving tn Stat than political par
tisanship or the furtherance of To-
cal jealousies. The work that the as
socian has attempted is a patriotic
work and has been made an effect
i've work.
In his speech at Greensboro Mr..
A. E. Wilson said: Although Bry-
an processes to have come to Ken
lucky through purely patriotic mo-
tives and from a heartfelt interest
in the success OF the Democratic
State ticket, the fact is he is under
contract for $500 day and will have
the money in his pocket when he
leave the State, If in fact he did not
have it before he started from his
home in Nebraska"
Urey woodson, Democratic Nation
n Committeeman from Kentucky and
close personal friend OF Mr.. Bryan,
made the following statement rela-
tive to Mr.. Wilson's charges: Il am
annexed that Mr.. Wilson would give
utterance to such lie. There is alb
solutely no truth in it as to this cam
paign OF any other campaign. 1t is a
revival Of the same old lie that was
told during the 1896 campaign. Mr..
Bryan has never received a cent for
any political speech that he has ever
made in Kentucky. Not only has he
eeived no pay, but has been a con-
tributor to the campaign fund
