dents in the recent conference on the

national help, has produced remarka-
BILE results.
The fiction for the month includes

ASTOUNDING LIST
Of Delinquents.-AbOut One.Fifth
Of Our Voting POpu-
latiOn.
Hartford, KY. April 70, 1909.

Hartford, Ky. April 70, 1909.
Editors Herald:-I see in the last
issue of tha Hartford Republican an
astounding list Of delinquents, well
nigh 1.O0O-about one-fifth of our vot-
ing population. We should blush at
this. The majority of them are of
the white race and some of them
noted for their able-bodiness, and
quite O number of our colored breth-
rem, many of them noted for their
strength and importance on certain oc
casions. How would it do to adopt
the plan of the Hopkins county Fiscal
Court anil see if that would not rem
edy the evil. --
According to the action of the
Hopkins Fiscal Court, which made an
order Wednesday, all of the delin-
'quent tax payers of the county who
are able-bodied and over q and I'M
der 80 years of age, will have to pay
their taxes or else work the public
roads, or suffer the penalties of the
law prescribed for such failure.
County Attorney H. F S. Bailey
called the attention OF the court to
Section 1927 of the Kentucky Stat
utcs, which provides that upon tax
payers failing to pay their tXes, the
road commissioner has the power to
summon them to work the public
roads at the rate Of $100 per day.
Upon their refusal they can be
brought into court and fined and in
case they are unable to pay the fine
imposed upon them they will be
taken to Jail
There are large number Of de-
linquent tax payers in the county
and Hopkins is not receiving the
money justly due On taxes and this
action was taken in an effort to col
lcCt the amount that is outstanding
and unpaid. This is the first time
that this action has been taken and
1t will no doubt cause many de-
l:nquent to pay his taxes before the
authorities get after him.

New Railroad for CIOYerpOrt.

Cloverport, KY, April lot is
now an almost assured fact that the
new jacksonville & Hartford rail-
road will come direct to Cloverport
in the near future. The engineers
of the main line have been getting
the grades near the old short line
road, where it would come into
Cloverport. The right-of-way has
been secured all along the proposed
line, even the old roadbed of ten
miles out to Victoria, has been Sc
cured, leaving only about twelve
miles of new road to be built from
Victoria to the branch road where
it comes into the Fordsville branch.
The new road runs through the best
coal field in the State, and Glover
port is the nearest river point and
has a deep water harbor and is well
situated for the barging of the coal
for the south, which is to be its
chief market.

TORNADO At FOROSv|LLE
PerilOus Condition of a Moth.
er And two Little
Children.

The tornado at Fordsville on Tues
day, April 9th, was perhaps the most
destructive one that has ever visited
this part of the county. The damage
to property in the storm swept path
is fearfully great. The wreckage Of
factories. mills, churches, stores, res
licences, monuments and other prop
erty is a sad and sickening sight to
look upon.
During the wild fury of the gale
the beautiful residence of Jesse Miles
was blown down a six foot embank-
ment and left by the storm, wreck
ed and broken mass OF debris. MIR.
Miles is clerk in the house of Will
son G. Co. and was at the store when
the tornado struck the town and there
was no one at his home during the
storm but his wife and tLeir two lit
tie children. Mrs. Miles says that
when the house was blown from its
foundation the first thing she thought
of was to save elself and children
from being crushed to death by The
falling, ovei head plaster, and to make
her escape through a door or window
to the nearest house with her chill
dren She first tried to open some
of the doors or windows but this
could not re done, but with remark
able nerve she continued her effort
to save herself ard children and fl
naliy found a room door partly open
which she passed into, thinking She
could leave the house by the room
window, which was partly open, but
this window, like the other windows
and doors, she could not open, and
this was her last chance of escape.
Sheltering herself and children as best
she could from the falling flakes Of
plaster, with almost supernatural
strength she managed to raise this
window high enough to pass through
and taking her youngest child, aged
16 months on one of her arms and
leading the other one aged 8 years,
she made her way to the nearest
house through a terrible storm of
wind and rain.
Mrs. Miles is the oldest daughter
Of the late Lloyd Westerfield, prom
incnt citizen of the Narrows commun-
ity. She is well educated and possess
ses more than an average amount of
intellect and determined resolution.

The old blue-back speller, remem-
bered with mingled affection and ex-
ecration, seems destined to come into
favor again. The complaint is load
and growing that present day meta
DDS of teaching do not make spoilers;
that children can write such words
as "psy chotherapentic" and can't
spell cat. The biue-back was at least

touchstone of "baker" and up to the
proud moment when the pine rafters
rang to 'incomprehcnsibility," the

from the blue-back WAS a master of
the art. But if the old speller is

RULES TO FOLLOW
TO GET A PARDON
Gov. Wilson Adopts New
Regulations.
SIGNERS MUSTFURNISH PROOF
. That Signatures are Genuine
With Certified Copy of
Order of Court.

Frankfort, KY, April Ion &C.
count of the numerous forgeries which
have been committed in applications
for pardons, Gov. Wilson has adopt
ed the following rules for pardon
cases:
I'm view of the number of applica-
lions for pardons in which papers are
presented purporting to be signed by
men alleged to have been jurors, who
|, found the applicant guilty on a trial
in court, when the jurors were on
duty under oath, in which the jurors
are represented as joining in ask
ing a pardon, and because there is
danger in such cases that the jurors
may not have signed the papers pre-
sented ready made for the juror to
sign or not sign, or that when they
do sign, when no longer under the
restraint of being on duty under oath,
they may be subjected to personal in
fluence, appeals for mercy and other
suggestions not made under the same
circumstances and rules of evidence
and procedure and protection against
Athe suggestions, statements and APP
peals which govern in the trial, and
are often led to sign statements pre-
pared by interested parties, and not
their own reasons, and because con-
sidering such alleged signatures to
such petitions exposes the Governor
to mistakes of fact, law and justice,
IL is adopted as a rule of the Gov
errors office that no petition or al
legged petition or any petition or re-
quest for pardon will hereafter be con
sidered, on any such application or
request, unless each of the following
rules shall be complied with:
"First-There shall accompany said
alleged recommendation of jurors for
a pardon a duly certified copy OF
the order of the court, showing the
names of the jurors elected and I'M
paneled to try the case ard copy
of the verdict.
."Second-The statement and request
, of each juror must be shown by an
examination under oath before some
Judge or Justice of the Peace, OF
each Juror separately and apart from
all other persons, except the officer
testifying that he served on the jury
and agreed to the verdict, copy OF
which is shown or read TO him by
such officer, and stating in the jur-,
or's own words and not those of a
petition prepared for him to sign
why he asks the Governor to change
the result of the sworn verdict"
