ert Wilder, a negro youth of Method,

prominent men in town. Eight
were bound over to court, seven
were dismissed and one fined $3.50
and costs. The negro was roughly
treated by the boys, one bullet pass,
ing through his clothing, and he
showed evidence of several hard
ticks. A large patch of hair had
also been removed from his scalp

Democratic Rally at Cary a Failure

Editor Caucasian:-It had been
fully announced by poster and per-
sonal invitation that the County DEM
ocratic candidates and an imported
speaker would speak at Cary on
Tuesday of this week at p. m, and
that a Democratic Club would also
be organized. AS the time approach
ed and seeing that the attendance
would be exceedingly small, the
chairman of the public school COM
mittee rushed to the Academy-the
High School-and ordered the prin-
cipal to excuse all the larger boys
and let them go to the speaking. The
accommodating principal did SO and
about thirty boys attended. In all
sixty-five persons were present in
Guiding the school and a dozen can
didates, and visitors. The speaking
was intensely niger" A club was
organized with very few voters.
Every Democrat was urged to bring
a Republican with him next meeting
and put him into the fold.

tituted and run at the behest of a

Louisville, KY, Sept. 2S.-Tom
Cockrill, for the past four years lead
er of the Cockrill faction in the Har-
gis-Cockrill feud in Breathitt Coun-
ty, was killed Saturday night by be-
ing run down by freight train
while passing through the railroad
yards en- route to the home of a
friend he was visiting.
His death removes one of the prin-
cipals in the most costly feud, from
both a human and financial stand
point, that was ever waged in the
mountains of Kentucky, and he is
the only one on either side to die
within the last five years who did
not fall a victim to bullet from
the gun of treacherous enemy
1t was the killing of Ben Hargis,
the youngest of the Hargis brother,
by Tom Cockrill in February, 1902,
that brought on the feud and result
ed in the assassination of Jim Cock
rill, DR.. B. D. Cox and James B.
Marcum, all three prominent men
and sympathiZers of the Cockrill
faction and the departure from Jack
son and Beathitt County of many
more equally prominent men who
feared to reside in the feud-ridden
centre because of their professional
friendship.

Cold STORAGE UnheaIthful.

Doctor Wiley, chief of the Bureal of
Chemistry, of the Department of Ag-
riculture, at Washington, is of opin-
ion that cold storage is harmful to
foods. In his testimony before the
House Committee he gave the results
of experiments to ascertain the eff
fects of cold storage upon foodstuffs.
He found that milk and cream in cold
storage begin to deteriorate at once;
also eggs, and the meat deteriorates
after three months In the ice box
After that period the meats do not
taste or smell so well, even though
they have been frozen. Oysters, OPP
ened and shipped in buckets, should
not be sold at all. An hour after they
are opened they are dead. and useless
as food To freeze them is to ruin
them, and they should be shipped only
in the shell. Fruits are found to inn

Dear Sir: This is to notify you un-

any cattle. TENANTS"
Dear Sir: This is to notify you
that If there is any tobacco beds or
tobacco destroyed in Montgomery or

These notes were typewriter and
mailed at Mt. Sterling. Inclosed with

A CATHOLIC CHURCH
For Hartford Suggested-Thinks
Need is Apparent-Only
One in the County.

| am reader of "The Record"
and note with pride the great activ-
ity of the Catholics all over the State
wherever there is a church. 1t makes
scattered Catholics feel like outcasts.
Probably the rest of the State does
not know how these parts are situat-
ed in regard to church conveniences.
For your information | will state that
there is but one church in Ohio coun-
ty. 1t is situated in the eastern
part of the county, about two and
one-half miles from Sulphur Springs,
in a rough country place, and do
not know whether they have services
now or not. Father O'Sullivan, of
Whitesville, is the priest that attends
there.
l do not know how many Catholics
there are in Hartford, Beaver Dam
and McHenry, and the surrounding
country, but there are some, and
am taking this means to find out.
What | want is this: By getting
the proper authorization, would be
in favor of building a church In
Hartford, although l live twelve miles
away; and will donate 500 to start
it.
Hartford is the County Seat, well
surrounded, and growing fast, with
new railroad building. 1t would be
an advantage to the county. Catho-
lies would emigrate to this county
instead of moving away, and it seems
to me to be as much financial ad-
vantage here as anywhere have been
