A Hartford Boy in Trouble At
Evansville.

About a week ago young Charlie
Collins, OF Hartford, who for a num-
Der Of years past has been running
on the boat Hartford, which plies
Rough river between this place and
Evansville, became involved in a diff
ficulty with a negro, Yves Walker, at
the landing at Evansville. The ne
gro, who formerly lived at McHenry
Mines, near here, had been employed
by the Messrs. Forman, proprietors
Of the boat Hartford, to assist in
raising their boat We Three, which
burned and sank at Spottsville last
February.
Young Collins had accused the negr
of stealing a pair Of shoes belonging
to him and claims to have discovered
the darkey wearing them. However
this may be, the negro came onto the
boat at Evansville and he and Col
Inns had some words about the mat
ter. We could not learn the partic-
ulars of the affair,bu In the alter
cation, Collins struck the negro on
the head with a hammer handle. The
negro then left the boat, stopped at
the river brink to wash his wound,
and went on up into the city. Lit
tie was thought about the matter at
the time, as it was not thought that
the negro was badly hurt. However,
when the boat arrived at Evansville
Saturday on it's return trip,young Col
Inns was arrested, charged with strik-
ing with intent TO kill, and lodged
in Jail. His bond was placed at $500.
1t was said that the blow on the ne
gro's head had fractured his skull and
he was taken to a hospital where an
operation was performed. At last ac-
counts it was said he would recover.
The proprietors Of the Hartford Of
fered the boat as security for young
Collins release and other friends came
to his rescue, but the Indiana au-
thorities would take nothing only cash
or real estate. In a short time, how
ever, the matter was arranged by his
father and Charlie was released.
The friends OF youngCollins are slow
to believe that he was not justified
in hitting the negro, for he is not a
boy who picks quarrels, being of a
genial disposition and slow to wrath.
When the trial comes up he will in all
probability come clear of any blame in
the matter.

Adieu TO Mr.. Foster.
he Catlettsburp Tribune saws,

The Catlettsburg Tribune says:
j. Ney Foster, formerly assistant
editor of the Tribune, but later in
charge of the Catlettsburg bureau of
the Ashland Independent, left yester-
day for Hartford to visit his hone
folks, after which he viii assume edi-
torial control of a newspaper in West
ern Kentucky.
Mr.. Foster has been in this city for
nearly two years and during that tin o
had succeeded by his manly depot
ment in convincing the people that he
was young man possessed Of high
moral ideals, being distinguished for
consciousness and courtesy toward
those whom he met. He possesses ex-
cellent ability as young newspaper
man and his innate liking for the
business will certainly insure him
ultimately a highly gratifying success.
The Tribune wishes him even more
than he may desire in his chosen field
of activity.

GEORGE ". Render Dead.

Mr.. Geo. w. Render, one of Ohio
county's Oldest and most respected
citizen, died at his residence at Nc
Henry early last Sunday morning. He
had been in feeble health for some
time and his death was not unexpect-
ed. His death was the elimination
of the infirmities of age and he was
nearly Sc years old when the end
came. He had lived in the neigh
borhood where he died all his life.
When quite young man he joined
West Providence Baptist Church, soon
after it's organization, and lived a
faithful member of this Church I'M
til death. His remains were inferred
at Render burying ground Monday,
funeral services being conducted by
Rev. Hiram Brown.
Mr.. Render leaves the following
children: Mrs. w. II. Burton, Hart
ford; Mrs. r. P. Toll and Elijah Rem
der, McHenry. and James w. Rem
der, Bardwell, Texas. He was also a
brother Of Mr.. w. B. Render and
grandfather of Miss Leone Maddox,
of Hartford. His wife preceded him
in death a number of years ago.
Thus another old citizen has passed
away and gone to the reward Of the
faithful and just.

The Trust Barker.

President Taft is out doing duty
for the trusts-explaining to the peo-
pie why the tariff robbers did not
steal the Washington monument; and
doing it at your expense. The trusts
had congress vote $4,000 yearly of
your money for the travelling expenses
of the President; now they send the
President out to tell you how much
worse 1t might have been. The band
plays, your patriotism CD is express
ed in prolonged shouts--for the trusts
= and you go home thankful that you
still have patched shirt and seat
less trousers. Great is the triumphal
march of the trust barker,-[Appeal

NEGROES DEMAND
A FULL TICKET
For Daviess County Of
fiCeS--And Get 1t.
PARTY ORGAN ESTABLISHED
With c. T. Sutton as Editor
Republican Machine Will
Control Paper.

Greensboro, Ky, Oct. 16.-Following
closely upon the heels of the filing OF
petition by negroes containing lac
signers, the Republican City and
County Committees met in joint ses-
sion at Republican headquarters and
put into the field a full ticket for
county offices.
From all outward appearances the
meeting was a hurried one, and al
though apparently had been called
upon short order, the machine had a
slate prepared which went through
without a dissenting voice. The fol-
lowing were nominated by acclama-
ton: Circuit Clerk, p. L. Miles;
County Clerk, G. A. Likens; Sheriff,
Thomas i. Ellis, who made the race
for Police Judge at the recent primary
and was defeated by the machine; AS
SCISSOR, George Sinnett; Jailer, John A.
Ware; County Attorney, J.P.Whitting-
hill, who claimed to have been cheat
ed out of the nomination for City
Prosecutor; School Superintendent,
Malcolm Mcintyre; Coroner, DIR. w.
S. Little; Surveyor; E. B. Shirley,
County Representative, George A.
Weller.
In an attempt to promulgate their
cause the Republicans of greensboro
will begin the issue of a campaign
organ tomorrow afternoon. 1t has
not yet been decided whether the pa
per will be published daily or less FREE
quently. The movement for the is
suing of Republican organ has been
on foot since the sale of the Owens
boro Inquirer to Judge S. w. Hager,
who, by conducting the Inquirer as
Democratic paper, has made both Ow-
ensboro papers Democratic.
The Republicans have slected Cic-
ero T. Sutton as editor of the new
paper. MIR. Sutton has been in news
paper work for years. The Republic
an machine, headed by E. T. Franks,
will control the paper.

tiers Of the county for their ratifica-
ton or rejection. at a special election

ner as may be provided by law, and
when any such Indebtedness is in
Cured by any county, said county

GIANT COMPANY
IS ORGANIZING
To Enter the Life Insur-
ance Field.
THE new CITIZENS NATIONAL
Will Fill a L0ng-Felt Want
In the S0uth-Capital
$5,000,000.

4 With the filing of articles Of in
corporation by the Citizens Nation
al Life Insurance Company at Louis
,yflle, Friday, all records of recent
years. at least in jefferson county. so
far as total capitalization of a COM
bany is concerned, were broken. The
new company is to have a capital Of
$5,000,000 and a surplus of $5,000,O0O.
The filing Of the articles is also the
first formal step in the launching
OF a gigantic institution which, those
interested declare, will mean more
for the developmnt of Kentucky and
the upbuilding Of the South than
any single concern has accomplished
IN half a century. 1t Is claimed that
In this company the South will have
an institution without a parallel for
strength and one able to take care
Of the life insurance business of the
South. Statistics are quoted by the
organizers to show that something
like s60,OO0,O00 is going annually to
the North and East in life insurance
premiums, the South being deprived
of the use of this money.
For a company of such magnitude
the articles of incorporation are ex-
tremely brief and are made up prin-
cipally of such provisions and spec
ifications as are usually found in sim
liar papers. In addition to giving
the title of the new company and To-
eating its home in jefferson county,
the articles tell briefly of the institu-
ton in the following words:
ct proposes to transact the business
of making insurance upon the lives
Of individuals and against accidents
to persons, and every form of insur-
ance appertaining to or connected
with life or accident insurance, and
Of granting, purchasing and disposing
annuities and endowments. 1t shall
have the power to insure other COM
panies and their risks in whole or in
part"
Further provision is made that the
amount OF capital stock now author
lied is s1,OOO.OOO, but specific author
ity Is given to increase this amount
to a sum not exceeding $5,OOO.O00. The
par value of the stock is $40 share.
One of the noteworthy points In con
nection with the launching of the com
pany is the large number of persons
behind the organization. There are
over 1000 founders Of the company,
and nearly every county in Kentucky
is represented. The subscriptions for
stock in the new company now
amount to about 81 100000.

New Corn BRINGS Low Prices.
The OWensbOro Inquirer SAWS:

The Greensboro Inquirer says:
The farmers are surprised that they
are receiving only so cents per BUSH
ell for new corn, when the larger por-
ton of the old corn of the country
has been disposed of, and many are
deciding to hold their entire crops.
While new corn is bringing so
cents per bushel, when the farmers
expected to receive at least 60, old
corn is selling at go cents per bushel,
while the farmers expected to receive
more.
The various granaries of the city
have been well supplied with old
corn and are now receiving a large
quantity of new corn.
The low price paid for new corn is
attributed to the fact that in the
South, where, at this time last year,
there was famine, there is large
supply of old corn, thus decreasing
the demand for new corn.

Mr.. Clayton l.. Woodward died at
his home in Beaver Dam, yesterday
morning at $3.50 o'clock, after a few
days illness of appendicitis. He had
not been feeling we'll for several days,
but did not take to his bed until last
Friday. A physician was called who
decided that an immediate operation
was necessary. Drs. Ford, of Hartford.
and A. c. Foster, Of Greensboro, were
called to assist the local physicians and
the operation was performed Monday
afternoon, when 1t was an
nounced that his chances for recovery
were slight. He never reganied con-
seriousness and passed away,as above
stated, in the presence of his family

ADJOURNMENT
OF INSTITUTE
Which Was One of the
Best Ever Held Here.
INSTRUCTOR ELLIS RECALLED
Handsome Gold Headed Cane
Presented to Retiring
Superintendent.

The Ohio County Teachers Institute
adjourned here Friday, after most
enjoyable and profitable five-days' ses'
sion. The attendance was large, the
enthusiasm high, and 1t was generaiiy
conceded to have been just about the
hest Teachers Institute the county
ever had. The proceedings were very
interesting from start to finish. There
we're many favorable comments by the
laity as to the evident intelligence
integrity and high-class worthiness OF
the body as an assemblage of teach
ers. No county of its size in the state
can boast of a more superior galaxy
of ladies' and gentlemen who form the
little army of instructors who are guild
ing the rising generation into the
paths of knowledge and usefulness,than
our own county of Ohio. 1t speaks
we'll for MS and gives us a suitable in
PRODUCTION to the people outside our
county lines who would know OF our
standing as to intelligence and prob
ity.
AS an evidence of the excellent
manner in which DR.. Ellis conducted
the Institute, no better proof OF his
acceptability could be afforded than
the fact that he was unanimously
called by the teachers to hold their
Institute next year. This was a COM
pliment worthily bestowed. Mr.. Fred
Anderson,a las Secretary of the Institute
filled the place to the admiration
and satisfaction of all. He was both
competent and painstaking.
One of the most felicitous features
of the meeting was the presentation
of a handsome $50 gold-headed cane
to Mr.. James NJ. DeWeese, the retir-
ing Superintendent Of Schools OF Ohio
county. 1t was presented by Prof. o.
ma Shultz In his usual affable man
ner. 1t was a most fitting tribute TO
the services and ability Of Supt. De-
Weese by his fellow teachers Of the
county. Mr.. DeWeese mas laDored Iailn-
fully and efficiently in the great
cause of education and has done his
duty we'll. This token Of esteem and
recognition of duty well done was as
fitting as it was we'll earned. Superin-
tendent DeWeese retires with the best
wishes Of all and especially of those
with whom he was most intimately
connected In the noble work which
binds them all together in the wor-
thy profession which they have es-
poused. supt. DeWeese has done
much for the schools Of the county.
The County institute of 1909 has
passed, but it will long be pleas
antly remembered by all who were
present at any Of its sessions or
had any part in 1t.

II is eminently prbper that Presi-

him at the polls. To the trusts and
trust influences Mr.. Taft owes his
present position. 1t was. therefore,
quite natural that when the people,
