BIG FIGHT ON OVER COUNTY
UNIT BILL.

There was quite a spirited fight in
the House of Representatives, on
Thursday, over the County Unit Bill.
This strikes out the exemption of
first, second, third and fourth class
cities, and makes every county in the
State unit in voting on the local
option question
The bill had been reported from the
Committee on Public Morals, printed
privately and came up for its second
reading.
A motion was made to recommit to
the Committee on Kentucky Statutes.
This was opposed by the advocates
Of the bill, who claimed that it was
an effort to kill the bill in an un.
friendly committee.
After a stiff fight, the bill was sent
back to the committee who originally
reported it.
Several of those who voted to re-
commit said they only did so because
they thought snap judgment had been
taken to rush the bill through without
giving its opponents a hearing.

POSTPONED
is FARMERS INSTITUTE.
Will be Held Feb. 10, 10, 20
4 CONSIDERABLY Agricul- 4
tural Legislation is
Desired.

The State Farmers Institute
which was to have been held in Frank
fort, February 4, and 6, has been
postponed until February Is. 10 and
20. This action was made necessary
by the failure of the Legislature to
get down to business. There is con-
siderable legislation affecting the
farming interests of the State de-
sired at this session of the General
Assembly, and as the bills relating
to these interests have not as yet
been considered by the Committees,
it was thought best to change the
dates until the time is more favorable
for securing favorable reports.
The Institute will be held in the
Frankfort Opera House, except the
evening sessions, which will be held
in the House of Representatives.
One fare, plus twenty-five cents, has
been secured on all railroads, and a
large attendance is anticipated
Some of the most prominent speakers

ON THE TRAINED NURSES.
Senators Vote Against Their Bill, But
Change Their Votes in
Time to Save 1t.

The members of the State Senate
laid their dignity aside, at yesterdays
session, long enough to play a practi-
cal joke on the trained nurses who
have been here for several days lobby
ing for their Examination and Regis
tration bill. Nearly all of the Sena-
tors had committed themselves to tne
measure, but when it came up on its
passage the word was passed around
quietly to vote against it. Only two
or three Senators who were not in
on the joke, or who were perhaps
afraid to offend the fair lobbyists,
voted for it, and for a while there
was the most crestfallen bevy Of
girls that ever sat in the Senate
Chamber. Before the vote could be
announced, however, the solemn-faced
Senators arose one by one and
changed their votes. The bill was
carried unanimously.

OF INTEREST TO sToREkEEPER.
GAUGERs.

1t will be seen by the following dis
patch that those storekeeper-gaugers
who are assigned to small disti.leries,
and are subject to great inconvenience
and hardship, will probably get the
same pay with their brethren who
have the easy assignments:
Washington, Jan. 30.-[Special i
Internal Revenue Commissioner
Capers has approved the proposition
of Representative Langley, of the
Tenth Kentucky District, paying
storekeeper-gaugers in the service at
the rate of 81 a day when employed
(many of them are now receiving but
So a day. and Mr.. Langley will, to-
morrow, introduce a bill in compliance
with the terms of the Commissioners
letter, which is as follows:
Sir-Referring further to your COM
munication of November 10, 1908, and
your recent visit to this office. concern
ing the necessity for increased COM
pensation for storekeeper-gaugers en-
ployed at small distilleries, 1 have the
honor to say that have this day made
recommendation to Congress, through
the Secretary of the Treasury, which
l trust will result in reaching the end
desired.
The resolution is to the effect that
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
may pay all storekeeper-gaugers not
exceeding 81 per day when actually
employed, together with their actual
and necessary travelling expenses
when going to or from their places Of
assignment
This Office Is firmly of the opinion
that storekeeper-gaugers should be
better paid and should have some al
lowance for travelling expenses. OF
course this would increase the ex-
pense of collecting the revenue, and
it is necessary to ask for an additional
appropriation to the amount of $780,
900 for the ensuing fiscal year, pro-
vided this change in the law is made.
Respectfully,
]. G. CAPERS, Commissioner.

was a genial and companionable
gentleman, who had host of friends

death will bring great sadness.
He leaves a desolate wife and two

NO INDICTMENT
In Big PeOnage Case
Federal Grand Jury, of
Mississippi, Refuses to In
dict D. Il. Crittenden
q Co. in Case that is
Attracting Nation }
al Attention.

b Frankfort friends of - o. B.
Crittenden, formerly of frankfort,
but who for many years has been a
resident of Greenville, Miss, will be
glad 10 hear that he came out the
victor in the BIZ eonage case in
which he was ~ chief object of
attack. The case has attracted ma
tional attention, and representatives
of the Italian government were also
witnesses.
Mr.. Crittenden is one of the large
cotton planters in Mississippi, and ON
one of his large plantations, Sunny
side, he has succeeded in establishing
a large colony of Italians, who have
been largely supplanting the ne
groes in that section of Mississippi
The Italians have proved to be much
more satisfactory for this kind of
work than the negro, and they were
apparently we'll pleased with their
employment until Mrs. Mary Grace
Quackenbos appeared on the scene
Mrs. Quackenbos set on foot an iaves-
tigation which resulted in her MAX
ing the charge before the Federal
Grand Jury that the Italian laborers
were being held il peonage by o. B.
Crittenden & Co. and others. The
case against this firm was meant to-
be test case, and had she secured
an indictment others would have fol-
lowed in quick succession. Few cases,
in this State have attracted so much
attention in recent years but, after
an investigation, the Federal Grand
Jury refused to return an Indictment
against Mr.. Crittenden.
Some persons believe that Mrs.
Quackenbos was merely seeking no
toriety. 1t is likely that no other at
tempt at prosecution will be made.

Mrs. Farmer was a lady of the old
school-gentle, modest, retiring and
loving. She was a devout Christian
and a lifelong member of Little
Flock" Baptist Church (of the o'd
schooD, near Alton, Anderson county.
She lived her religion in her every
day walk and conversation, without
ostentation, and was an "epistle

Her maiden name was Thomas, and
she was born4ald reared in Anderson
county. In early life she was married
to Mr.. Ben Farmer, and their mutual
love and respect was a model for
those who followed, and was only
broken when the hand of death took
her husband, some nine or ten years
ago. Since then she has simply
waited the Masters call, and knew
that her treasures were laid away
where neither moth nor rust doth
corrupt, nor thieves break through
and steal"
She had been gently fading away
for several months and the end was
not unexpected. So "He giveth His
beloved Sleep"
Rev. P. G. Lester, of Virginia, her
pastor for many years, will conduct
the funeral services this afternoon at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. T.

Taking advantage of the terrible
drouth that afiicts ClarksBurg and
the frightfui condition OF what little
water supply the city has some busy
body has. diligently circulated u
ghoulish report. It makes one shufl.
der to think about It. But, there Is
no truth in 1t and that assurance re-
stores ones normal feeling and stom-
ach.
The report has been going the
rounds Of the city that bodies OF In
fants had been found in tho water
tanks OF the city. The origin OF the
report has not been ascertained, nor
Is It likely to be. as 1t was imply an
invention of some Imaginative mind
bent on mischief.
When Commissioner Hugh Cal
aghan's attention was called to the re-
port. he stated that he had heard 1t.
Captain Calaghan denounced II as a
pure fabrication.
In speaking of the report Mr.. Cal
laghan said there had been no at
tempt to clean the tanks this fan
owing to the scarcity of water ANA
the risk to be incurred during a
drought by such an attempt.
The report about, dead bodies is
simply foolish.
