''The Old World and It's Ways"

Col. William Jennings Bryan an
nounces new book of travel enti-
tied "The Old World and Its Ways"
which recounts his recent tour
around the world and his journeys
through Europe. 1t is profusely
and elegantly illustrated with 24o
artistic engravings representing men
and things seen in the various
countries of the earth during that
noted journey. The engravings are
made from photographs taken by
him or his party specially for this
publication. 1t is the monumental
literary work of his life, and is pub
lished under his special supervis-
ion. He has, by special contract
with his publishers, made the re-
tail price low down with the view
to putting it within the easy reach
of every reader and book buyer.
The book gives his experiences
what he saw and did-whom he
met and his impressions and con-
clusions. He made a profound
study of men and things as he saw
them in this noted journey aro' nd
the world. He gives governmental,
educational, religious and other
conditions, from the standpoint of
student and one profoundly in
terested in all the people of the
earth.
While Col. Bryan travelled as
private citizen he went with the
prestige of having made two men,
orable contests for the Presidency
of the United States, and he was
everywhere recognized and enter
tained as a great representative
American, having leading part in
the direction OF American affairs.
He was given opportunity for OBJ
servations never before accorded to
any one travelling in private capac-
ity.
If one wants to see the world,
and the people who are at the head
of affairs in all countries, as we'll as
the masses, he has in this book an
opportunity of seeing them through
the eyes of Col. William Jennings
Bryan. 1t is sold by subscription,
and the Thompson Publishing Com
pany of St. Louis, Mo-, are the Cor
tunate publishers. They offer an
especially inviting opportunity to
solicitors in another column of this
issue. IT.

PENSION FOR MRS. FAUvER.
Secured Through the Personal Effort, o'
Congressman mcHenry.

Mrs. Sarah Fauver, widow of the
late Henry Faver, of Milton, is re-
ceiving the congratulations of her
friends upon the granting of her
pension claim. This case was a
most worthy one, but owing to
some complications it had been de.
layed so long that her friends had
given up hope of her ever securing
her just dues. Through the per-
sonal efforts of Congressman Nc
Henry, speedy action has been TAX
en- by the department resulting in
placing her on the SIS per month
list from June IS, 1907, and the
payment to her of back claims still
due which have been approved by
the department. Not only the SOL
diers but all citizens of this district
can congratulate themselves upon
having representative who will
look after their interests in an en-.
ergetic and capable manner.-Ml

HARVESTING BY MOONLIGHT

Several thousand acres of Lehigh
county wheat were cut last week
by moonlight. The harvest, al
ready three weeks late on account
of cold weather in spring, was much
delayed by the rains of the past
fortnight. Farmers accordingly
took advantage of the full moon to
cut their grain, which was dead
ripe. binders were brought
into play, and relays of horses used.
The moon was so bright that it was
as easy to reap the grain by night
as by day. Some farmers kept their
binders running without stopping
for sixty hours. The farmers paid
neighboring boys and girls twenty
cents an hour to shock the grain as
fast as the reapers cut it, besides
giving them three meals, breakfast,
dinner and supper, and three lunch
cons, at 9 a. m, 3 p. N. and at
midnight. Some of the boys and
girls worked a full twenty-four
hours for day, making $3.50, be-
sides getting their board. This is
believed to be the record paid for
farm labor in the United States.
Even at that the farmers regarded
the work done for them more as an
accommodation than -blooded
labor done for hire. Many Of the
harvest workers thus employed are
school teachers, their recompense
for working in the fields being
double that of the school room.
The harvest, which is about half
completed, is prolific beyond all ex-
pectations.

the supplements removed before the

BE LOYAL DEMOCRATS.

The Democratic campaign has
opened with much vigor all over the
State and the Republicans have so
far made but little impression in
their attempt to be aggressive. AS
a matter of fact, the Republicans Of
Kentucky are unable to guaranty
the people an administration that
would have the confidence of the
public. The experiment was tried
once and no Democrat wants to ever
see il tried again. The State has
hardly yet recovered from the dis
grace heaped upon it by the Bradley
Taylor regime. On the other hand,
the progressive young Democrats
who have been at the helm for eight
years have more than met public ex-
pectations. They have grown with
experience, and ripened in statecraft
ard it will be an easy step from
Beckham to Hager, because both
have been part and parcel of the
same administration and a change
of administration is simply change
of men without change of policy
Kentucky has made rapid strides
under Beckham and it will continue
to advance under Hagtr. Let the
Democratic ticket be defeated and a
hungry horde of Reput licans he
elected and the prosperity of the
Sta.e he turned over to spoils hunt
ers, a majority of them negroes, and
the.effect on Kentucky would lie
worse than a seven veal s. fan inc.
Kentucky is a Democratic State
and the Republicans have no hope of
reducing Gov. Beckham's last ma
jority of q 1000 without Democratic
votes. If any Democrat, for any
reason " hateyer. is thinking of lend
ing his aid to turn the State over to
those who cannot be safely entrust-
ed with the reins of government,
let him deliberate long and carefully
before he takes the step. He will
never cease to regret it.

THREE WRECKS.
L. & N. Encounters A Run
Of Bad Luck.

Three troublesome wrecks occurred
on the L. & N. road Wednesday af-

crews busy for everal hours, though
no lives were lost.
About five o'clock several freight

Dalton Quarry in this city, block
aiding things generally on the sid
ing.
At $50 at the foot of Empire hill

the engine bumped into the caboose,
turning the engine over and pretty
well demolishing it. The wreck
blocked the road for some hours.
At 8 o'clock at Goodlettsville.
Tenn, a wrecker itself was wrecked
by coliding with a freight. L. M.
Rowe, a brother Of Mrs. J. T. Han
berry, of this city, was the engineer
and had a narrow escape, as his en-
CINE turns d over. He escaped with
a few bruises.
Trains were only slightly delayed.

A Card.

Concerning the two quick sales of
real estate about which so much has
recently been boastfully said, name
ly: the c. B. Webb homestead on
South Main street, and the Brack-
rogge residence on East Ninth street,
| feel that while | have no desire to
engage in a newspaper controversy
in justice to myself. a word of ex-
PLANTATION is in order. | make the
statement, without fear of success
full contradiction that | furnished the
purchaser in each instance. In the
fisrt mentioned case carried DR.. J.
H. Rice in my buggy, introduced
him to the owner, and showed him
the Webb property The two men
were not acquainted, and no other
agent had tried to sell Rice the
property. After making several
trips back and forth, l succeeded in
getting the parties within $3.50 of a
trade, but. it seems, in the mean
time another party bargained for
the property, so reported to Rice
that the property had been sold,
Webb being my informant. The
next l learned of the matter Webb
and Rice had seen fit to get To.
gether and close the deal without
my knowledge. | am certainly en-
titled to credit for selling this prop
erty.
In the last mentioned case, l was
busily engaged closing a deal for the
Markham farm, and. being unable to
wait on the lady, sent her to another
agent, who effected a sale.
