PROPOSED STATE POWER

Another objection to the incul-

minds of the states hayward
youth is that 1t is likely to develop
genius along the lines of safe

pointed out that after the compile

United States increased 500 per

OLYMPIA, Jan. 19.-The plan
Of Representative Beach of Mason
county to employ the inmates of
the Monroe reformatory in the
manufacture of gunpowder Is go
Ing to meet with strenuous objec-
ton on the part of many members
of both houses for variety of
reasons.
Fisrt and foremost, the legisla-

powder is hazardous occupation;
one in which a man never profits
by the experience he gathers in
his mistakes. There is only one
mistake made, and the question
becomes one for the coroner and
the undertaken. Senator Beach
asserts that the powder makers

salary Is large, while the compe-

Genial Host of Cerulean
Springs SuCCumbs To
Bright's Disease.
DEATH A GREAT SHOCK.
Had Been In Poor Health
But Condition Was Not
Considered Critical.

Capt. Richard S. Pool, proprietor
of the Cerulean Springs summer re-
sort, died Saturday morning at his
home, aged 70 years.
He had been in failing health for a
year or more, of Bright's disease,
but his condition was not regarded
as critical.
Capt. Pool was born in Virginia,
Halifax county, and came to Ken
lucky when young man and engage
ed in mercantile business. He mar
ried Miss Groom, of Caldwell county,
and has lived at various points in
Caldwell, Trigg and Christian coun.
ties.
While conducting a store at Ora
cey about 10 years ago he bought
the Cerulean Springs property, then
very much run down and with his
characteristic enterprise set about
building it up. He put in many i'm
provements, enlarged the hotel,
beautified the grounds and soon
made it most popular resort and a
prosperous enterprise from a bust
ness standpoint. He made the no.
tel famous all over the country for
-tae excellence of the fare and the
genial, good natured and attentive
landlord was popular with all who
patron zed the resort. Last summer
he was greatly injured financially by
the burning of the depot, close to
the hotel, in the height of the season,
Ky night riders. Soon afterwards
his health broke down.
Capt. Pool was veteran of the
Confederate army, in which he
fought CALAMITY in many battles.
He was generous, upright and hon
est, and reliable in all his dealings.
He was by nature jovial and com
panionabe, and made it pleasant for
all his guests.
He is survived by his widow, one
son, Ernest Poo, and two daughters,
Mrs. w. H. Sims and Miss Lois Pool.
The funeral services were held
Sunday at Cerulean.

GROCERY
ON A BIG SCALE.
w. A. Chambers & Co.. Widen Out With
Increased Capital and Local Stockholders
"A Retrospective Glance.

The revival Of business in Hop
kinsville is manifesting itself in
every line Of business. There is an
air OF optimism in business circles
and some real "big things" are be
ing planned for the current year. In
business circles the future looks
bright and encouraging from every
standpoint and advancement is the
order of the day.
A commercial event of significance
and magnitude already consummat.
ed is the incorporation of the whole.
sale grocery firm of w. A. Chambers
& Co. The capital stock has been
placed at $9OO,OOO. Its distribution
will be limited practically to persons
directly engaged in the promotion
of the enlarged business. w. A.
Chambers & Co. last year conceived
the idea of localizing their business,
so to speak, at Hopkinsville, KY,
and Dickson, Tenn, at which points
they have been operating on a COM
paratively small and economical ba
sis since July LIST, 1908. The vent
ure was attended by such satisfacto-
ry results that it occurred to them,
quite naturally, that it would give
them a much stronger position with
the trade to localize themselves at
these points. The result has been
as above stated.
Incorporated under the laws of
Tennessee, the new corporation will
be known as w. A. Chambers & Co.
The following are the officers:
President. w. A. Chambers; vice
president, Jas. H. Smith, Jr., secre,
tary and treasurer, Stephen P. Gold,
The resident managers will be as
follows: John A. Clements, Clarks-
vile, Tenn; Z. w. Daniel, Dickson,
Tenn; H. C. Moore, Hopkinsville,
KY.
The Bylaws provide for nine di-
rectors, who are as follows:
w. A. Chambers, Jas. H. Smith,
Jas. H. Smith, Jr., Stephen P. Gold,
and John A. Clements. all of Clarks-
Vile, and all we'll known business
men. The directors at Dickson and
Hopkinsville are e. w. Daniel and
S. Z. Hunt, Jno. H. Bell and H. c.
Moore.
1t will not be out of place just
here to tell our readers something as
to the nonresident managers and
directors. E. W. Daniel is native
of Dickson county, very successful
financially, a man of exceptional
ability, who is we'll known and stands
high. S. E. Hunt is cashier of the
First National Bank of Dickson,
Tenn. His standing financially and
morally is the very best. His infu-
ence in his community accordingly
is large. H. C. Moore, a successful
business man of Hopkinsville, has
been prominently identified with the
Monarch Grain Company, of this
city, and previous to that was city
tax collector and one of the best
known and most successful travelling
statesmen on the road, selling the

Morse and Vail Both Credited
With Telegraph-Darwin
Versus Wallace.

AS early as 1S45 he had theories re-
garding evolution which he embodied.
though in a rather vague form, in an
essay published in 1855. But Nautilus,
in his Essay on Population went
more deeply into the subject, and in
spired both Wallace and Darwin to
more thorough research. Wallace's es-
say entitled ION the Tendency of Va
rieties to Depart Indefinitely from the
Original Type" and Darwin's first es-
say on the subject were published to-
gether in the Proceedings of the Lin
1858. Wallace, in his essay, covered
ground similar to that of Darwin, but
the latter alone used the term natural
selection"
!. Here, apparently, was the basis for
acrimonious controversy, but Wallace
proved to be too ~high-minded and too
good a friend of Darwin to enter into
it. He not only refrained from claim
ing any credit for the famous doctrine,
but continued to maintain relations of
excellent friendship with his more
celebrated colleague.

ing instances of simultaneous discov-
