LAWSON RENO AP-
POINTED COLLECTOR
Bradley Man Gets First
Juicy Plum.
Will Succeed E. I. Franks who
Has Held Office Twelve
Years.

Owensboro, KY, Dec. Lawson
Reno received a telegram from J. Z.
Cabell. commissioner of internal rev.
neue, on Monday, announcing his APP
pointment as collector of internal rev.
neue for the Second collection dis
trict Of Kentucky. The announcement
does not come as a surprise 10 Mr..
Reno's Kentucky friends. II has been
known for some time that he had
been selected by President Taft 20
succeed Z. T. Franks, who was APP
pointed by President Mckinley
The appointment of Judge Reno
will cause great pleasure % his many
friends in Owensboro and elsewhere
over the State. The office pays S5,-
900 a year and has considerable
patronage attached TO il. f.
Mr.. Reno will assume his duties as
collector as soon as his bond Is made
and approved, This will be done
within the next ten days.
Mr.. Reno has resided in Owens
boro since 1871, when he went there
as deputy collector under his bro
ther. He has gradually become
stronger and more influential in fl
nancial ways as we'll as with his par
ty. His chief active political service
was in the last legislature in behalf
Of the candidacy of w. o. Bradley
for the senatorship. He was tireless
in behalf of Mr.. Bradley, who is said
to have gone TO Mr.. Reno, in the
momenC when victory came, and
throwing his arms about his frlned
and supporter thanked him arden;ly,
spying: Chunk, 10 you, | owe my
election"
Mr.. Reno was born at Greenville,
Ky, in 1S49 of parents who had
migrated TO Muhlenburg county
when he was fifteen. He was edu-
Gated in Greenville college chiefly,
For fifty-five years mis- father was
| proprietor of the Reno House, the
leading hotel at Greenville and he
was also sheriff of his county for a
time. In this way young Reno was
/ familiarized wiki public mon and
public affairs. lie was not robust
in youth and his graduation was de-
layed because OF illness until his
twentieth year.
Mr.. Reno's business acumen and
his obliging disposition and genial
manner have won him many frlneds
here and his administration Of the
collectors office will, it is believed,
add still more friends 70 the large
circle.
Mr.. Reno will succeed E. T.
Franks. who was appointed by Presi-
dent Mckinley. soon after he became
President and he has held the office
since. He succeeded Hon ]. ID. Pow

Rough and Ready" Says Build
Them With Stone as Soon
as Practical.

To The Hartford Republican.-Hav-
ing been a reader Of your excellent
paper for quite a while. | feel very
much interested in some OF the ques-
lions being discussed in the Repub-
lican, especially, the question OF good
roads. There surely is great need
OF thorough campaign of education
through the local papres in all the
counties of Western Kentucky, for
such roads as We have in most Of the
counties, west Of Louisville is a dis
grace TO any civilized country and
with the system Of road building and
repairing that is and has been in
vogue in the most of these counties,
we cannot hope to ever have decent
roads. Through the adoption at the re-
cent election of the Good Roads
Amendment, il is made possible TO
provide funds in each county, by tax
alton, subscription. contributions &C,
with which TO build rock on mcada-
mized roads. which are the only roads
that will Withstand the rains. freezes
and thaws OF our winter months. The
diversity OF opinion expressed with
reference to building and maintain
ing public roads in a great many
of our kentucky counties, Is simply
wonderful. The system of road build
ing that we have, in Ohio county Is
a failure and It would seem that every
one ought TO be anxious for a change,
but oh! says one, Il have worked on
the roads all my life. or since /
was IS years old, until now | am be-
yonnd the age limit and / am not will
ling now in my old age to pay road
tax, to keep the young men from
working the roads" But | ask is 1t
not fact that while you, and your
neighbors have worked as you say,
that for the most part has been a
useless waste of time. money and en-
ergy, seeing We have such miserable
roads yet, especially in the winter
months. Is it fair now, seeing the
mistakes of the past and the bad
system under which you have labor
ed, to fasten the same system upon
our children. 1t is almost sure that
i'm changing from one system to an
other that some things that do not
seem fair, will have to be borne by
some but it's the greatest good TO the
greatest number that should be our
most earnest desire. But says another
it costs too much TO build rock roads.
Sure it will cost a good deal in both
money and effort, but can We afford
not 70 make the effort. Lets see.
What has the old system cost us?
Enough / predict in excess of what
it would have cost, the people Of
Ohio county in the last 20 years,
had we had good roads, TO build a
good substantial pike from east TO
west, and from north TO South, across
the county. You have paid an i'm
mense tax all these years, but have
got nothing in return, not even
enough disgust, with some of us, to
give us a good healthy desire for
roads fit TO travl.
About our former tax. You to-
bacco growers. how much road tex
do you think you have paid in the
last 20 years in hauling your tobac-
co to Owensboro and elswhere; drag

Tho rosd question still holds the
center Of interest in Ohio county.
May the best plan be selected by The
incoming Fiscal COur5, but we still
maintain that the only way 10 build
aroad in our soil is with rock or some
other hard substance. We hope Center
town and Fordsville will take adj
vantage OF the proposition made 70
them by the recent session Of the
Fiscal Court and secure mile Of
limestone rock road, which will be of

ing towns, besides increasing lhe

per cent Of which is spring sown; g.
100000 bushels of oats, the largest
crop ever raised in the county. and
100000 bushels of barley, princi-
