NO JOINT MANEUvERs
Congress Refuses to Put Up
the Money Needed.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Louisville Times says:
Washington, Feb, 26.-Although
strongly recommended by the War
Department, no provision has been
made in the army appropriation bill
for military maneuvers at a ny of the
great army posts of the country.
Unless the Senate Incorporates an
amendment carrying the required
appropriation, it is certain that the
National Guards of the various
States and the troops of the regular
army will not participate in such
maneuvers this year.
The War Department asked for
81 100000 to defray the expenses of
the maneuvers this year, but the
committee omitted the item because
of the big increase in other estimates.
In the bill as it now stands it carries
ST, 100000 in excess of the appro-
priation for last year, and, as it has
been explained, the omission of pro-
visions for the maneuvers is due to
this fact, and not because the COM
mittee discounts the great advant-
ages resulting from the mobilization
of the State and Federal troops.
The failure to provide for maneuv-
ers will be a keen disappointment
to the members Of the Nationa
Guard. for it will interfere seriously
with their annual encalnpments.

Swift Kentuckian.

Young Victor Matthews. son of the
senior editor of the Herald, who has
charge of a linotype on the Wilkes
Barre (Pa.) Daily News, made a phe-
nomenal record on this type-setting
machine one night last week. In
eight hours he set 2.614 lines of 8
point (solid brevier) type, making an
average of 6,371 ems per hour. The
extraordinary swiftness of this work
may be'reckoned when it is stated
that 5000 ems is considered good
hours work any day. And he is just
q boy-not yet twenty years old.

| In this issue Of the News the
announcement of Hon. N. II. w.
Aaron, of Casey county, appears.
He is candidate for Circuit
Judge in this the 10Th Judicial
district, subject to the action of
the Republican party. Knowing
that the News is read by many
Republicans throughout the dis
trict, and desiring that his an
>nouncement reach as many of
them as possible at this time, he
uses it's columns to assist convey
ing the information. Mr.. Aaron is
by no means a stranger to the
voters of the district. having
served it as Commonwealth S
Attorney, making diligent and
fearless officer. Besides, having
been States Attorney, he was
elected and served two terms as
County Attorney of Russell,
carefully guarding the affairs of
that county while holding that
position. He is staunch Re
publican, his political principles
being inherited. His father,
Nathaniel Aaron, was an ardent
union man when the war of the
rebellion broke out, and desiring
to fight for the preservation of
his country, enlisted in the Third
Kentucky Infantry, and made a
gallant soldier until his death
which occurred while in the
the army. Mr.. Aaron is a learn
ed lawyer, and has been a sue
cessful practitioner since he was
admitted to the bar. He is strict
ly sober, a gentleman of high
character, and whatever he I'M
dertakes to do he does we'll. He
possesses all the elements that
is necessary to make a Circuit
Judge, and we believe that
should he be selected to preside
over the district, he would be an
impartial dispenser of Justice
serving the rich and the poor
alike. He asks that his candi-
dacy be favorably considered.

The Citizens National Bank of
Monticello closed its doors last
week. Judge Chas. McCon-
naghy, it's cashier, was arraign-
ed before United States Com
missioner Cook at Somerset,
charged with using the banks
funds for his own privase use.
He waived an examination and
gave bond in the sum of $4,000,
O. H. Waddle signing the bond.
Judge McConnaghy has property
sufficient to cover the shortage,
and says in his Judgment it will
only be a short time until the
bank will reopen for business.
At present the bank is in the
hands Of the Comptroller of the
Treasurery, and a private letter
from Mr.. John Shearer, to a
friend in this place, says that
he expects to see the bank open
for business in a few days.

Since so many of our people

Since so many of our people
are at a loss, apparently, to I'M
derstand why / am not thorough
ly and enthusiastically favoring
the Graded School question, and
from the further fact that | am
criticised for my position regard
ing it, | deem it a duty as well
as a privilege to make the fol-
lowing statement, not as an ar
gument to change the mind of
any one who favors the move,
but set myself fairly before those
who regard my position unten-
able, unjustifyable, conceived in
Selfshness and matured in malice.
Plainly and honestly speaking, |
believe that a Graded Public
School, such as our people have
pictured in their minds, would re
suit in great good to Columbia.
A successful school, as above
mentioned, would be a blessing
to any community and the spirit
that actuateS such a move is, in
deed, generous and commenda-
BILE, but while this is true, it does
not stand as a fact that all who
favor the proposition are actual
ed by the highest motive, nor ev-
cry one who opposes it is prompt
ed by selfishness. A successful
Graded School is to be desired
and no one in this district is a
stronger believer in it's worth than
myself. I am not opposed, and
never have been, to a high rate
of taxation providid the people
who pay the tax are the benef-
Charles of results commensurate
with what they pay. If / know
myself am in favor of every
move that will bring good to our
community and will try to do my
part, as | see and understand.
The present proposition does not
measure up to my conception of
advancement simply because of
the following reasons: The loca-
ton of the school is far from the
center of the district and is in
TACT on the extreme limits OF one
side of the boundary whose peo-
pie must bear the burden of sup
port. 1t is to be placed in a
building inadequate to sustain
the high work Of a Graded School
unless several thousand dollars
be spent in remoddling and ad-
ding to it. The revenue to be
derived is too small to support
the school on the plan desired.
Now, the foregoing is, as / see
and believe, and with such con-
victions backed by my judgment
of what l deem to be best for
this community, to be real adj
vancement. bow could / be other.

It's success, OF It's depressing ef-

fail to measure up to the high
ideal pictured by its advocates
The revenue to operate it will be
too small to accomplish the ends
sought, and a cripple, though an
object of sympathy, is never one
of admiration. fl believed that
the school, under the present
proposition, would do what it

the more | study its features

after cheerishing the hope for
several years of seeing a sue
cessful Graded Public School es-
tablished in Columbia, I am COM
PEELED, by convictions, to vote
against the present proposition.
l prefer present conditions to a
strained effort producing failure
of ends sought, but not received.
The district should be larger

sufficient fund to accomplish the
noble and glorious purpose of
creating opportunity for the
less unfortunate and booming Co.

the Lindsey-Wilson would be

serious. 1t is an argument that
does not appeal to me for be-
lieve that that institution is here
to stay, and to grow stronger all
the while; that it will meet any
new condition that may arise
and that it's friends over such a
broad country will sustain it in
a progressive way. It's work is
a good one, it's field broad but
it's influence for good too i'm

experiment. It is suggested
that the two districts be CONSOLE

we can create without loss of
prestige as a community in the
educational line, without fear of
failure, without annual taxation,
without jeopardizing a school

PLANS FOR OUTDOOR GAMES
Many Events Listed in Preston Uni
versity School Meet.
Prominent Athletes VIII Compete at
National Park on Decoration Day.
Relays to Be Featured.

Plans for the first annual outdoor
games 10 be given by the Robert Il.
Preston University School, of this city,
are being perfected, and the entry
blanks will be at the various sporting
goods stores in the city.
The games. will be held at the Amer
ican League Park on Decoration Day,
May 80, and as this win be the first
meet that Washington has had in
years, it should prove a big success.
The list of events has been carefully
selected, and there Will be handicap as
well as closed events.
In the open handicap events the fol-
lowing have been decided upon: 100
yards, 22O yards. 44o yards, $50 yards,
one mile, two miles, slotput, and high
jump. In the intersch elastic, the 100
yards, 44O yards. $50 yards, and 1000
yards run. There will be relay races
for clubs. colleges and schools.
One OF the most important features
viii be the two-mile run, in which the
management has, after considerable
thought offered cup TO the team, or
club. scoring the highest number OF
points. This will bring out all of the
cross-country men in this section, and
from the way I'm which the Blooming
dale Athletic Clubs big run was at
tended, the event should prove the stel-
lar attraction.
There were dfty-four contestants In the
Bloomingdale run, and the majority of
these finished. AS the track will be go
yards to the lap, it will mean that the
entrants in this will have to go round the
track sixteen times and If the field Is big
as ii In all likelihood will be, some rare
sport should be furnished. Another inno-
walton will be the 6O0-yard novice and the
1,O00yard run.
AS the South Atlantic championships
come on June 20, and as these games of
the University School will be held on May
Goth, they will prove a good try out for
the local gathering of athletes, who will
have no other chance. Washington has
had dearth Of games and track contests
in late years due to the fact that there
are no suitable grounds for the purpose
Of holding these games but the manage
ment Of the University School meet have
hit upon IA happy solution Of the problem.
IT is the first outdoor meet OF this popu-
lar school, and VIII draw some OF the
best talent from the private schools in the
city. There will be an effort made to
have as many relays possible.
