FLOYD ROBINSON DEAD

The entire community was sad
dened last Friday by the news of
the death the night before of Floyd
Robinson, the 15-year old son of our
popular postmaster, f. l.. Robinson,
from meningitis. He had been i'll
since Tuesday morning, but fought
bravely against the painful disease
and there was at one time great hope
that he would recover. Everything
possible was done for him, and a
new medicine or serum was sent
from New York, but came too late
to use for him.
Floyd was greatly loved by those
who knew him, and it was joy In
their grief to his parents that he had
become a Christian at the recent re-
vival meetings. His funeral was one
of the largest ever seen here for
boy of his age. and showed how many
friends the boy and his family have.

-Berea the Safest.

The alarm which was felt here
last week over three cases of GER
ebro-spinal meningitis is about over.
and people are beginning to feel that
they are safer here than anywhere
else. There is so much of this form
of disease turnout this part of the
state, and so many of the cases are
fatal that people see that with the
serum which the doctors here have,
and the fine facilities for caring for
cases, they will have better chances
Of recovery here than anywhere else.

BEECH HARGIS INDICTED
Beech Hargls was indicted in Jack
son Monday for the killing of his
father, and the indictment charges
wilfull murder. A fund is being

The Kentucky State Farmers In
stitute is meeting at Frankfort this
week, the session having begun Tues
day. 1t ends today. The meeting
promises to be one of the most val
liable in years to the farmers of the
State.
MORE TOBACCO OUTRAGES:-
The tobacco lawlessness in the state
seems to continue about the same,
and there is no evidence that any
thing Is being done that will restrain
it. The chief outrage of the week
was on Sunday, when a band Of 300
raided Eddyville. Four white men
and six negroes were severely beat
en-, and the mob then visited the
aged county judge and threatened
him unless he should be more
friendly to the association.
GOV. WILSON BACK:-Governo
Wilson returned Sunday night from
his two weeks trip East. He has
ordered an investigation of the Eddy
Vile raid.
BEECH GETS HALF:-According
to Judge Hargis' will, Beech will get
half his estate. The new Judge of
Breathitt district, who took his place
last Monday, gave the Grand Jury
a very forceful charge. He is James
p. Adams, of Beattyville. formerly
Prosecuting Attorney. The new pro-
secutor is Kelly Kash, of Jackson.
RINGS FOR DEATHS: Kingston
has a mystery in a grandfather's
click which strikes only when some
member of the family is about to
die. The Courier-Journal prints the
story, creiiting Il 20 Hon. R. II.
Crook. The clock, it says, is owned
by Ben F. Crook and has not been
wound for several years, and does not
run but is kept as an ornament. In
1891, 1t says, the clock struck one,
and a few days later William Crook
died. Three years later it again
struck once shortly before the death
of his mother, and in 1904 it struck
twice just before the death of two
twins. The last time, last Friday
night it struck one, and within
few days Mrs. Crook died.

VERDICT AGAINST THE COLLEGE

The suit of Thomas Baker against
Berea College, for $4,000 damages
for his arrest on charges of theft last
winter, was tried in Richmond Mon
day and Tuesday and resulted in a
verdict of $500 against the college.
In view of the evidence submitted
the college believes that the verdict
is entirely unjust, and will appeal
the case. There was great surprise
in the court room when the verdict
was announced, as 1t had been shown
that strong evidence had been laid
before the college authorities impli-
eating Thomas in the thefts, that
the college had voluntarily made the
prosecution less severe than II might
have, and that Thomas's reputation
had been bad in the town ever since
one of the watches stolen from VIII
liams had been found ON him.
AS the case is still before the
court no comment is permitted re-
garding 1t.

ing. Mr.. Flack. a prominent colored
citizen Of Paint Lick, and former

friend OF the race Miss Robinson

their friends in the college were not
lying on Cemetery Hin and urged
them TO show their appreciation Of
the gift by the good use they would
make OF II.
Prof Dinsmore referred TO the
work In Mississippi Of Pres. Battle,
Berea boy. and hoped that Kentucky
negroes would do their part as well.
He urged prosperous negroes to get
out of the class OF receivers. and
place themselves among the giyers.
and TO send their children to the
school. no matter where Il might
be located. Mr.. Osborne reviewed
the history on the school. Mr. Whit
taker. OF Richmond. spoke eloquently
OF what Berea has done for his race,
and Of the efforts OF Pres Frost.

One effort was made TO revive this

started TO accuse the college OF the
various things which have long since
been disproved. but was Kissed by
his own race. and called down by the
chairman.

REBUILT THEATRE
OPENS TONIGHT
AFTER SPENDING $4,000 ON THE
MAJESTIC THEATRE 1T WILL BE
THROWN OPEN WITH A VAUDE-
WILLIE BILL.

After an expenditure of approximately
$4,000 on improvements, the Majestic the
atre will open tonight to offer to its
patrons vaudeville bills which, it is stated,
will inaugurate a new era in vaude-
vile in Birmingham.
Under the personal direction of John II.
Eberson, one of the best theatre builders
in the United States, the Majestic has
been made one of the prettiest and most
convenient theatres in the SOUTH The
lobby has been entirely remodeled and the
gives the appearance of new place. The
new electric sign on the front of the
theatre is said to be the largest in the
south.
Manager Gould states that the manage
ment has put out bigger and better bills
than ever before, and that Birmingham
will be one of the benefciaries of this
improvement.
The bill for this week includes three
big headline acts. The five Brown broth
ers, the Mozarts and the original News
boys quartet. The Mozarts originated the
snow shoe dance, which has become such
a hit in vaudeville. It's originality and
the skill required have made it successful.
and the Mozarts are said to be the high
est salaried people in vaudeville with
this kind of an act It will be beautifully
staged.
The American Newsboys quartet is
well known here. When it was at the
Majestic before it was a great hit, and
this fact induced the management to
play it in return engagement.
Other acts on the bill are all recognized
as good ones in the vaudeville world. Tom
Powell is known as one of the best black
face comedians; John H. w. Byrne en-
joys an enviable reputation as a mono-
loguist and teller of funny stories; Flo
Adler, accompanied by a small boy, Is
recognized as a clever singer with new

FRISCO TO PUT ON
NEW BLOCK SIGNALS

The st. Louis and San Francisco Rail-
road company has just closed with the
Union Switch and Signal company of
Swissvale, Pa, what is probably one of
the largest contracts for automatic block
signals that was ever let.
This contract calls for the installation of
approximately 1900 automatic block sig
nails, covering 700 miles of single track and
% miles of double track, and will greatly
increase the efficiency of the train SER
vice.
The section of the Frisco TO be covered
by this installation is the eastern division
from ST. Louis to Monet, Mo-; the north
ern division from Kansas City to Spring.
field; the Ozark division from Springfield
to Thayer, Mo-, and the southeastern d.
vision from Amory to Birmingham The
traffic on these sections is particularly
heavy and for this reason they were
chosen.
The system to be used on the single
track is one of the most up-to-date and
extensive that has been devised. The sig
nails will not only indicate the presence
of a train in the block but broken rail
or the removal of rail or piece of 1t.
Also a switch that has been left open or
only partially closed; also the presence
of a car or cars that are within fouling
limits due either to carelessness, or, as
frequently happens, car being blown out
on the main line in a storm.
On the double track what is known as
the polarized wireless system is to be
used and the signals will give all the in
dications that those on the single track
do except the head on protection, and
that is unnecessary where all the trains
run in the same direction.
The Union Switch and Signal company
will install the system complete, and ex-
pect to have it all in operation, by Janu-
airy l. 1910.
