about a month ago. Sometime dur
ing the early part of last month
Judge Hargis went TO the National
Casket Company of Louisville, and
requested to be shown the most elab-
crate collins the company had in
stock. Nothing suited him and he
finally ordered one along his own
ideas, costing 81 1900.
The following telegram was sent to
the company:
Express to-day the casket selected
by James Hargis, as he is dead.
(Signed) Mrs. James Hargis.
As the reports of the tragedy from
Jackson indicate that Judge Hargis
only lived a few minutes after being
shot, it is supposed that he told Mrs.
Hargis of the incident regarding the
casket upon his return to Jackson and
requested that 1t be ordered for his
body in the event of his death occur
ring before that of his wife.
James Hargis was one of the
wealthy men of the mountains OF
Kentucky. He was of humble origin,
but was industrious and temperate
and made money not only in his
general store at Jackson, but by ac-
quiring many thousands of acres of
mountain lands at a nominal cost
in years past, having faith in the
outcome of the mountain country, and
selling to syndicates in later years.
He was estimated to be worth $780,
900 to 100000.
lie was a member of the Baptist
church and professed to be de-
vout Christian, Notwithstanding the
bloody feuds with which his name was
associated. He was also a prominent
Democratic politician and for years
was member of the Democratic State
Central Committee.
1t has always been claimed by
Hargls' friends that the enmities he
aroused were the result of envy of
his growing wealth; that others less
fortunate determined to run him out
of the mountain country and that
his resistance to their schemes
brought on all the trouble.
Hargis and his brother, Alex and
his nephew, Ebert, as well as Fulton
French and others were accused Of
being accessories to several assassina-
lions in Breathitt county, notably
those of James Marcum, DR.. Cox and
Thomas Cockrell. The confessions
of the principals in these murders
were horrible, but the Hargises and
their co-denfendants always CLAIMED
the testimony against them was per-
jured and no jury, although there
were several trials, would ever con-
vict any of them. However, in
civil action for damages for the death
of her husband at the hands of Har-
gis and his henchmen, Mrs. James
Marcum recovered $4,000 of James
Hargis, which, with penalties and
costs, was recently paid.
Mrs. Laura Morton
The brothers, James and Alex
Hargis, who were formerly business
partners, fell out some years ago over
business differences and refused to
speak to each other, although they
were jointly tried in these murder
cases.
Governor Beckham was much crit
icised for always standing by James
Hargis, but he was one of many who
firmly believed in him.

To Fight For legislature.

1t has developed that the Democrat;
are laying a careful plan to carry Kent
county and the balance of power in the
Legislature next November
Two year ago, at the general election,
the Republicans, with spendid organiza-
ton and everything to encourage the
masses Of voters, only pulled through in
several districts by close margin.
Every district in the county is to be
vigorous fought for, particularly the
First, Second Third Fourth, Fifth
Eight and Ninth. Strong candidates will
also be nominated in the Seventh. al
though the Seventh and Tenth are power
fully Republican, just as the Sixth is ir-
reconcilabiy Democratic.
There is talk among the Democrats of
the Third and Fourth districts, which
comprise the Second senatorial district, of
D. H. Loos, a merchant, and
Elmer Outten, breeder of thoroughbred
stock, for the Legislature.
The Republican candidate from the
Third district may be Charles B. Massey,
a prominent miller, who would like to
get as much majority as he has avoirdu-
pois, go pound net.

used once when the ground is soft
and slushy. This is particularly
applicable before a cold spell in win
ter, when it is possible to so prepare
the surface that it will freeze smooth
Not infrequently conditions are
met which may be overcome by a
slight change in the manner Of hitch
ing. Shortening the chain tends to
lift the front slab and make the cut
ting slight, while a longer hitch
causes the front slab to sink more
deeply into the earth and act on the
principle of a pillow.
If furrow of earth is to be NOV
ed, the doubletree should be attach
ed close to the ditch end of the drag
and the driver should stand with
one foot on the extreme forward end |
of the front slab.
Conditions are so varied in differ |
ent localities, however, that it is
quite impossible to lay down speci-
fic rules. Certain sections of a road |
way will require more attention than
others, because of steep grades, wet
weather springs, soil conditions, ex-
pOsure to sun and wind, washes, etc.
There is one condition, however, I
in which special attention should be
given. Clay roads under persistent
frequently become too
high in the center. This may be
corrected by dragging the earth to-
wards the center of the road twice
and away from it once.
There is no question as to the
economy of this roadmaking imple-
ment, either in first cost or in oper-
alton. In six counties in Kansas in
1906 the cost of maintaining ordin-
ary earth roads without the aid of
he split-log drag, averaged S42. so
1 mile. These figures were furnish
ID by Professor w. c. Hoad, of the
University of Kansas, who secured
hem from official records Of the
counties.
Some figures furnished by F. P.
;anborn and r. H. Ashton, Gener.
j Manager of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railroad, have reveal.
d the wonders of this simple de-
ice. Mr.. Sanborn said: "the least .
Expense per mile per annum for J
pitt log dragging was $3.50, the
reatest a little over Sc, and the av-
rage expense per mile for 81 miles a,
little over SO. I have lived along p'
MS road all my life and never in
0 years have I seen it freer from
lud and dust, despite the fact that
uring the season we have exper-
,nced the extremes of weather con-
itions."
The testimony of Mr.. Ashton is !
lually strong. Learning that
,wnship in Iowa had been making I
n investigation of the split-log drag
nd had been experimenting with it
II year on % miles of highway, r..
g sent an agent to secure informa- ha
on. 1t was reported that although ~
lie town board had paid the cost Of
aking the drags and of hiring men
operate them, the total expense wi
T one year averaged but S2.40 a al
lie, and the roads were reported
have been 'Hike a race track" the m.
eater portion of the year. ea

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once very
three minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about 500
grains of impure matter daily, when
unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms-pain in the back, headache, ner-
vousness, hot, dry, skin, rheumatism,
govt, gravel, disorders of the eye
sight and hearing, dizziness, irregular
heart. debility, drowsiness, dropsy,
deposits in the urine, etc. But if you
keep the filters right you will have
no trouble with your kidneys.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and hiatt is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
the tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
