Frankfort, Ky, Nov. 2S.-How far
back the shortage of Judge Charles
f. Booze, claim clerk in the auditors
office, will extend cannot be definitely
stated now, but it was found this
morning that a shortage exists in
his accounts during the adminlstra-
tion of the late Gus Coulter, who
was Auditor for four years before
Judge S. W. Hager, This much was
learned from only a cursory X
animation Of Judge Booes checks,
but it is thought that the short
age has extended over practically
the entire period that Judge Boo was
employed in the Auditors office.
Judge Booze to-day transferred, 20

able, If 1t would do him any good,
all the property which he owns ex-
cept his household goods. This prop
erty has been placed in the hands
Of trustees, and will be used to coy
er the Indebtedness of Judge Booze
aS far as possible. The amount of
money represented is not known, but
it is understood that stock in va
rious corporations here and other
property that he had will amount to
about $4,000 This probably will not
begin to cover tine amount of the
shortage.

about 5 o'clock. He was struck
down by an unruly team driven by
James johnson, a negro who lives in
Edgecombe county and was going

fracture of the arm and a shock SO
severe that it was feared internal
injuries had resulted. Bystanders
fastened to Mr.. Matthews and
picked him up from the street and
placed him in the hands of physi-

jured man every possible advantage
Of treatment request was made Of
the A. G. L. officials to hold No. 80,
which was standing at the depot,

request and Mr.. Matthews, accom-

Mr.. J. W. Matthews, was taken to

The LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature is considering the
railroad rate question for which it
was convened in extra session. At
this writing no bill has been passed
on rates but bills have been
placed before the body. 1t looks now
like the 2 IA cent passenger rate on
the long lines will be increased to
2 1-2 cents, in accordance with sug-
gestions in the Governors message.
A bill will pass both branches of
the body giving the liquor question
to a vote of the people in April,
separated from every other question.
Various matters more or less local
are being presented to the body, but
nothing has claimed much attention
thus far but the railroad rate and
the liquor question.
FOR TWO EXTRA JUDGES.
The following is clipped from the
News and Observer to-day:
eff the favorable report of the
House Committee on Judicial Dis
tricts is followed by favorable action
on the part of the House and the
Senate there will be Constitutional
Amendment to be voted on at the
next general election.
1.-The committee held session yes
terday afternoon and at it there was
much discussion of the bill introduc-
ed by Representative T. w. Beckett,
which provides that by constitu-
tional Amendment there shall be a
provision for the election of two
judges-at-large.
"'The purpose of having these
judges is that when any of the
judges of the districts are taken i'll
or are prevented from holding court
from any cause, or special terms are
to be held without the service of {
Judge available, that the court
should be held by one of the two
judges-at-large.
Under the present Constitution
of the State no such judges can b
appointed or elected, and in order
that such offices may be created, it i!
necessary that change be made il
the State Constitution and it is thi:
which the Beckett bill proposes, to LEI
the people vote on an amendment tt
the Constitution which provides fol
two judges-at-large."

New Hotel for Weldon.
(Roanoke News.)

u3oanoke NeWs.)
1t is rumored that Weldon is to
have a new and modern hotel in the
near future, and the nearer this
rumor comes to being set
tied fact the better for the town.
Rumor has it that Mr.. Walters, of
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
Company, and Messrs. Gresham &
Sons, who run all the Seaboard and
Atlantic Coast Line restaurants I'M
der lease, will build the new hotel.
1t will be Of brick and will occupy
the site where the present Atlantic
Coast Line hotel stands.
This old hotel was erected away
back in the days before the war be-
tween the States and is the second
largest frame building, used for
hotel or dwelling purposes, in North
Carolina. 1t has had many man
ayers in its day and has been quite a
famous resort. This old landmark
will be torn down and an up-to-date
brick hotel, to cost S25, 900, will take
it's place. The new hotel will have
the ticket Office, telegraph office and
waiting rooms for the Atlantic Coast
Line Road just as at present, and in
addition the baggage room will also
be in the new building. The hotel,
if the present plans are adopted, will
have SO bed rooms, large office
halls, dining rooms and parlors and
will be second to no hotel in the
State.
The time has come when public
sentiment demands that the old
building be removed to make room
for a hotel such as visitors would
expect to see at an important rail.

The Country Editor.
(Exchange.)

(Exchange)
The editor of the country paper
ought to know just what suits each
Individual reader of his paper, and
if in doubt his editorials should be
sent to each subscriber for approval
before they appear in print. An
editor of country newspaper has
plenty of time to do this, for the
only work he has to do is to hunt up
news items, set type, build the fire,
sweep the office, clean rollers, hustle
for advertisements, fold and mail
papers, run a free information
bureau, talk to visitors, distribute
type, read proofs and mark the
errors, dodge the bill collectors,
take abuse for failing to mention
the name of some visitor he didn't
know was in town, write up all the
social events which he is not invited
to attend, and get cussed should he
dare to expect any one to pay for
the paper. Yes, the country editors
pathway is indeed strewn with
roses.

ON WHAT GROUNDS t?

A bill has been introduced in
the Legislature against allow
ING railroads to contract with
newspapers for advertising,
paying for same with mileage
books to the publishers of the
papers in which such advertis-
ing is placed. It has been re-
marked by many that such
barter and trade between the
railroads and newspapers is no
business of the Legislature.
And so it seems to us, though
we do not know on what
grounds any legislator would
base his objection to such trade
between railroads and news
d. is. We cannot see why
the Legislature should object
to Mr.. Billie Bilkins bringing a
bushel of sweet potatoes to
town and exchanging them
with Mr.. Jude Judkins for shoe
blacking. Neither can we see
why the Legislature should OBJ
iect to the railroad company
buying space in a newspaper
and paying the publisher of
such paper in mileage over the
railroad.
