Better Pay Assured for Enlisted
Men of the Army.

Washington, d. G. Feb. 17.-Chair-
man Hull, of the Committee on Mil
itary Affairs to-day reported to the
House the army appropriation bill
carrying a provision for ~ per cent
increase in the pay of enlisted men
and non-commissione officers. Refer
ring to the omission of commissioned
officers in the, proposed increase, Mr.
Hull said:
"This does not mean that the CON-
mittee thinks the pay of officers Is
adequate. To the contrary the COM
mittee was agreed that 1t should be
increased. though by what percentage
was not determined; but the commit
tee fearing point of order felt that
1t would be unwise to include such a
provision in the Appropriation bill. The
Senate may do so. Probably an In
crease for officers will be incorpora-
ted In the bill in the form on an
amendment on the floor.

SAUNDERS SUIT COMES
To AN ABRUPT CLOSE.
Personal VerifiCation Ordered,
Which Saunders Failed Sat-
iSfact0rily to Do.

The suit of b. F. Saunders erst-
while Democratic Campaign speaker
10 recover money bet on the election,
particulars of which appeared in these
columns several weeks ago has been
disposed of by special judge C. NJ.
Barnett.
The suit was filed soon after the
election, and while the amount claim
ed was but $50 the extreme novelty
of the case resulted in it's attracting
considerable attention. The case was
called for trial the second day of the
regular January term of Quarterly
Court. Judge Taylor declined to try
it and Col. C. M. Barnett was agreed
upon by attorneys representing the
parties.
The matter ~as called for hearing
by Judge Barnett a few days later at
which time the defendant filed his
affidavit and asked the court 10 COM
pei saunders TO personally verify his
petition.
The second paragraph of the af-
fidavit contains the following
startling allegation. For further
cause for personal verification
of the petition defendant AYERS
that he is informed and charges true
that the plaintiff B. F. Saunders, has
no interest directly or indirectly, in
the subject matter of this litigation
but that another who is unknown to
this record is the real party in in
terest and that Saunders is merely the
agent of said party.
This was a revelation to every one
and a great deal of speculation has
been engaged in as to who the 'un-
known" party referred to is.
On the affidavit the court award
ed a rule against Saunders to veri-
fly the petition in person, and set the
case forward to Monday February II,
when the case was called Monday the
petition appeared to have been sworn
to by Saunders before J. w. Thomp-
son justice of the peace of Green
county Arkansas.
There was no attestion of an offici-
al under seal that Mr.. Thompson was
authorized to administer the oath and
a demurrer was sustained to the veri-
fication. Mr.. Mosley who represents
Mr.. Saunders refused to plead furth-
er and the petition was dismissed an
appeal will probably be taken TO
Circuit court.

tendance, Gov. Wilson Delivers

Kentucky the men who are the bot
tom and basis of the prosperity of

during which they will discuss ways
and means to improve the condition
of the farmers. The keynote of the
meeting which was sounded by the
president in his opening address, is

unite, SO they could control prices
and force living prices for their
products. The attendance at the
meeting is fairly good and the men
here are representative of the best
and highest type of the farmers of to-
day, who studies how he may increase

dress of welcome and among other
things impressed on the farmers that

enforce the law regardless of conse-
quences, without fear or favor. He
urged that the farmers of the state
accept the fact that they owe certain
rights to their neighbors, and must
have regard for the other mans
point Of view. The governor compli-
mented the farmers highly as being
patriotic intelligent men, and said
he had never felt about them that
they were men who had to have
guides. when they came to town. In
his speech Governor Wilson. laid es-
pecial emphasis, on the necessity for
the farmers obeyins the law and up
holding it.

ANOTHER SUICIDE IN
MUHLENBERG COUNTY.
Jesse Welborn Shoots Himself
Because His Daughter is
Engaged.

Central City, KY, Feb. 1S.-Jesse
Farmer of Dunmore, Muhlenberg coun-
ty, committed suciiide at an early hour
this morning at his home at Dun
NOR After arising he talked to his
daughter Mable, concerning her mar
riage saying that it would be more
than he could bear were she to marry
She told him that she would not
marry, and would remain with him.
This seemed to raise his spirits as he
was very much attached to his daugh-
ter, who was also his housekeeper
since the death of her mother.
Leaving her in the kitchen prepar-
ing his breakfast, he went to the barn
to feed his stock. Shortly after his
departure the daughter heard the re-
port of a gun, but paid no attention
to 1t, supposing that her father was
shooting bird. When breakfast
was ready she called her father, and
failing to receive a reply went TO
look for him and found MIN In the
yard still holding the gun with which
he had shot off the top OF his head.
The daughter is Frustrated.
He was fifty years old, progress
isve, honorable, upright citizen, and
his tragic death is shock to the en-
tire community. He leaves one other
child, Mrs. r. J. Thompson, of Lewis
burg.

NO LEGISLATION
AT THIS Session.
People See Little Hope of
Getting Anything Needed
Beckham Holding up Everything
With the Hope of Being
Elected.

With less than twenty-five legisla-
tive days remaining of the presene ses-
sion of the General Assembly, folks
who are interested in the passage of
important legislation are becoming un
easy and wondering if the solons are
going to trwow up the sponge, says a
special Frankfort dispatcd.
All indications point to an effort
on the part of certain interests to not
only block legislation affecting them,
but to sidetrack all measurers which
proposes any changes in the present
statutes. 1t appears to be merely a
question of adjournment as early and
as often as possible.
1t is generally conceded that little
business will be transacted by the
House during the few remaining days
of the session and so long as Beck
ham Yields his local option club the
sessions are apt to be brief and I'M
interesting.
With the able assistance of Par
son" Adams, former President of the
Kentucky Anti-Saloon League the
former Democratic Governor and
nominee for Senator is playing the po-
lotical game of his life. All of the in
sincerity which has been charged
against him in local option matters
has been established, and it now re-
mains only a question of how long the
local option members of the Legisla-
ture are going to stand for his meth
DDS.
According to one of them who
freely expressed himself the political
trickery of Beckham has exceeded the
of Beckham has exceeded the limit in
patience of the long suffering ones
ones who have not obliged for the sake
of party regularity to daily cast their
votes for him in an effort to elect
him Senator.
To his notion he explained, the soon
er the Democrats of the Legislature
settled on another Democrat for Sena-
tor the sooner the Dmocrats of tn
State would become united and the
party regenerated.
IL have been one of the last to be-
lieve in Beckham's insincerity," he
said, but after he showed his hand so
plainly, | am obliged TO confess that
| was wrong. He doesn't want the
local option bill to pass the House
and will sacrifice anything to become
Senator"
1t is believed now that with Speak
er Gooch as his ally, Beckham will use
every means to prevent action on the
county unit bill by the House still cher
ishing the forlorn hope that his plan
will succeed in whipping the recalcitran
Democrats into line. He will also at
tempt to prevent the Senat Committee
from reporting on the same bill, &C
ting under the same belief.
The Speaker is alert and keen, and
those who witnessed his rulings know
that he will lose no opportunity to
continue to rule in favor of the Beck
ham interests.

TRUSTS CONTINUE
To DISCRIMINATE
The Weed is a Luxury and Grow
erS Should be Paid Well
For II.

On last Saturday night, February
18th. 1908, the Rev. b. F. jenkins, of
Owensboro, KY, delivered a very for
chile and impressive speech on equity,
at West Point church. Bro. jenkins
in a very forcibe yet plain manner,
plead for the continuation of the or
ganization. Giving as his reason that
the organization should exist, he said
there was no question but what the
price of tobacco had been advanced,
and that when the tobacco farmer
prospered everybody else prospered;
using as an illustration the high price
of mules; saying that when mules got
so high, everybody had made money.
even to the old woman and children.
He dwelt at considerable length on to-
bacco as a luxury, claiming that we
have a perfect right to steadily ad-
vance the price. In regard to wheat,
corn and other necessities he said was
different, and rather urged moderation
along that line. He then spoke of
laws that would soon be enacted for
the benefit of the tobacco growers
and gave it as his opinion that when
the bone of contention was removed.
night riding would cease in Kentucky.
But he said the trust would make a
wonderful and desperate effort to
break down the organization this year.
saying that they were now paying
more for tobacco off the wagon at
the auction house than they did for
the association tobacco.
He next gave a thorough explana-
ton of how the money kings manip-
ulate the money market, and there
by corner, or manipulate any other
market they saw fit to exploit in TAX
ing in consideration of course the ones
that offered the greatest return for
the amount invested.
Told how Russell Sage once caus-
ed a panic among the New York
banks, by borrowing from one, gold
depositing paper as security, and from
the next paper, and depositing gold
as security. Sage borrowed the mon
ey on Is days time, and as soon as
he had borrowed enough to cause
panic, placed his stock on the mark
ct, bought it in for nothing, with the
balance of the stock, and as soon as
he had bought what stock he wanted
he cut teh money loose at the banks,
and Sage had the thing going his
way. Spoke about going to the State
convention a half Everitt man, was
not there long, however, until his
mind had undergone some change,
and little later, little more change
and when Mr.. Everitt fully convinc-
ed him that he was a one man power
man, he became thoroughly convinc-
ed that Mr.. Everitt would not do, and
Is now, a full pledged Barnett man,
and is for the American Society of
Equity.
Bro. Jenkins is man of intrinsic
Christian worth, a man of nobility
of character and of answering fidel-
ity. He commanded the best of at
tention during his Equity address and
made a strong appeal to the boys to
pay up their dues and stay with the
regular organization. To somewhat
show our appreciation of the good
service he rendered us, we donated
him nice lot of genuine old fash
ion home spun tobacco. Long may he
live to do good religiously and 9TH

Regulation Of Transportation

II is eminently proper that this con.

attitude toward the regulation OF
transportation companies and call the
attention of the country to the indis
putable fact that il was only after
years of democratic effort that an
amendment was made TO the interstate
commerce law authorizing the com
mission to establish reasonable rates
whenever it appeared that an existing
schedule was unjust and unreason

this great question for years and the
fact that the necessary change was ad.

who succeeded only through the aid o!
the democrats In both branches Of con
