NED BLYTHE PASSES AWAY

On Saturday evening, Oct 30, 1909,
Mr.. Ned Blythe, one OF the Oldest
colored citizens of this vicinity died
at his home on the Berea and Wall
aceton Pike.
In his young days, Mr.. Blythe was a
slave, but when he was set free by
the Emancipation Proclamation, he
came to the mountains and bought
land because 1t was much cheaper
than the Blue Grass land.
Being a good farmer, he greatly i'm
proved lano and added to it as he be-
caao able to purchase until at last he
owned one hundred and fifty or more
acreJ.
He was in the ninety-fourth year
Of his age, when he died and had been
citizen of the community for over
forty years. He was highly respect
ed by both white and black who knew
him.
On account of the unfaithfulness of
his fellowmen, Mr.. Blythe in his early
life learned to be very positive in
dealing with his fellows. But no ma
ever attended more strictly to his
own business than Mr.. Blythe.
Taken all in all. he was a worthy
citizen and a Christian gentleman.

GEN. 0. 0. HOWARD DEAD

Major General o. o. Howard, U. $.
A, retired, the last of the prominent
figures of the Civil War, died last
week. Gen. Howard was famous as
"the Christian Soldier" and after the
war in which he reached the high
rank of Corps Commander and won
frequent Cuccecs, he was appointed
head of the Freedman's Bureau. While
he was in charge of that Bureau it
made the contribution for Negro Edu-
cation from which Berea College built
Howard Hall. Gen. Howard made
personal visit here in the Spring of
1887, speaking a couple of times and
being the central figure of a large
gathering Many of our older resi-
dents will remember him from that
occasion. His death removes the last
of the men who in the Civil War held
high command on the Federal side
and we believe on either side.

FIRE THREATENS TOWN
Forest Blaze Nearing Danger Mark
When Stopped by Heavy Rain
Another Hour Would Have Brought
II TO Limits of Town.

One OF the most serious dangers
which has threatened our town in a
long time was averted by the heavy
rain storm last Monday night A
forest and brush fire which was sweep
ing on the town driven by the strong
wind, was checked about mile from
the town line, after having come five
miles in seven hours. Another hour
or two would have brought the fire
to the edge of town, and the fight to
save the buildings along the creek, at
least, and probably many Of those on
the ridge would have been ON in earn
est.
The fire started about two o'clock
from an engine, at the Boone's Gap
Tunnel. A fierce south wind was blow
ing, and driven by this the line CT
fire started swiftly northward. 1t trav-
eled nearly mile an hour and by
half past eight, in spite of the eff
forts of about fifty men who were
fighting It. had reached the base of
the ridge beyond the creek. If it
had once crossed that ridge it would
have run into long fields full of knee
high grass, and the last mile into
town would have been covered in
few minutes.
The fire was entirely beyond control
Four flrelines were cut to stay its
progress, but 1t leaped each without
pause or check. So far as is known
no houses were burned, back fires be-
ing started from each when the fire
neared. Many men worked all the
afternoon, and some were entirely
exhausted when the relief came in

The welcome accorded President Taft
at Hickman on Oct 9th was in true
Kentucky form. The town was a
mass of decorations The flotilla was
the grandest ever seen in those
waters. The people were lined up by
the thousands as far up town as
could be seen. On account of his
voice President Taft was able only
: to talk but few minutes He was fol.
lowed by Sen. Bradley, Gov. Wilson
and Ollie James. At the end of the
speeches 500 school children sang

WALTER DAY PARDONED:-Act-

THE MAN OF TOLL.

All honor to the hardy of toll
Who does his duty in his chosen field,
Be that to guide the humble pillow, to WELD
The hoe and win his sustenance from the soil;
Be that from no immense task to recoil
To gain the treasures rich which lie concealed
Deep in the mine-to great results will yield
Be that to bear trade Ger the seas turmoil.
All nonor to the mau who runs the mill,
The press, or who in letters in art
Creates masterpiece, who tolls to know
New truths OF science, with unchauging will;
Right well he lives and nobly does his part
Life lies in virtue not in idle show.

that of w. T. Malone ON charge of
killing of James Kenney, at Berea,

of stealing chickens at the home of

on this ground the jury promptly dis
missed the observation-disclosures.

London, May 4.-There was. re-
markable demonstration of enthusiasm
here when the Aeronautical Society of

planists it's first gold medal.
Those who had gathered to witness
the presentation cheered and applaud
ed repeatedly, while the Wright broth
ers blushingly bore their honors
through an hour of the warmest eulo-
gies. Finally the entire assemblage
rose and gave three cheers for each
of the brothers and for Miss Katherine
Wright.
Speeches were made by Major Ba-
den f. S. Baden-Powell and by Colo
mel j. e. Capper, the war Offices aero
nautical expert, who referred to the
Wright brothers as ''unspoiled as
though they were nobodies."
Wilbur and Orville Wright made
brief speeches, tersly expressing their
thanks. A reception was then held,
and the brothers were surrounded,
questioned and besieged for auto
graphs. They were given a dinner at

ATCHISON FINE REVOKED.
Railroad, Need Not Pay $33o,ooo For
Granting Rebates.

SrantIn9 hepatoS'
San Francisco, May 4.-The United
States circuit court of appeals here
reversed the decision of the district
court in the case in which the Atchi-
son. Topeka and Santa Fe Railway
company was found guilty Of granting
rebates and sentenced to pay fines of
S33O,00O.
The cause for the reversal was the
error of the trial court in striking out
the testimony of f. p. Gregson, agent
of the Santa Fe.
Gregson testified that the had been
satisfied by the shippers that the full
10000 pounds, constituting a carload
lot under the companys tariff, had
been placed in the cars, but that the
railroad scales at the point of deliv-
cry had shown a considerable loss in
transit. On this showing he said the
company had agreed to accept pay
ment from the Grand Canyon Lime
and Cement company Of Arizona for
the amount actually delivered at the
legal carload rate.
The appellate court holds that mas
much as the freight tariff provides
that shipper shall pay for all over
10000 pounds contained in car and
that since the full amount necessary
to obtain a carload rate was shipped in
each instance the trial court erred in
not allowing this testimony to go be-
fore the jury.

caused a lively discussion in the SEN

Dingley rates on lumber made by Sen

demonstrate that the present policy of
the far western lumbermen was that
Of total destruction of the forests.

tree TO tree. without destroying all
surrounding timber. He urged that
high price for lumber would permit
reforestation.
Senator Piles said that 1t was impOs-
sible to manufacture lumber on the
American side in competition with
Canada because. while the American
mill man must not only erect his mill
and buy sufficient standing timber to
supply It, the Canadian can lease from
the Canadian government $40 acres of
timber land for $40 year and then
pay only 80 cents per 1000 feet for
the lumber cut off as against a rate
on the American side of So per 1000
feet stumpage.
The senator said the German system
Of conservation was wholly impossible
on the Pacific coast and admitted that
the interior mills of his section prac-
tically exhausted timber land before
letting go Of it.
Senator Smoot of Utah declared him
self in favor of duty which would
assure profit sufficient to cover the
cost Of reforestation to the American
lumberman. He said the price Of
lumber was now moderate, but would
eventually go higher.
THE tariff keeps up the price, and
the price saves the forests" retorted
Senator Beveridge. II have never
seen any lumberman in the central or
far west who undertook to save his
forests at any price"
"When the price is high you will
find the lumbermen conserving their
forests" said Senator SmOOt

Gardner-Xincent COmpany.

Owing to not being able to get the
manuscript on in time, Gardner-Vin-
cent Co. will present David Gar
rick" for Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday of this week instead of
Sapho."
David Garrick is one of the
most beautiful plays written and
has always been in the repertoire of
such artists as Edwin Booth, Chas.
Fecter, Kyrle Bellew and in fact all
our great stars.
1t tells a beautiful story of an in
cident in the life of England's great
est actor, Mr.. David Garrick.
The first act shows the home of
David Garrick with it's quaint pict-
ures, play books, ETC., the arrival of
Garrick after hard and irksome re-
hearsal at Druary Lane Theatre, the
scene between Garrick and Ingot
where he promises to cure the girl
of her love for him.
The second and third acts are
laid in Simon Ingot's home. These
acts test both Mr.. Gardner and Miss
Vincent to the utmost, one moment
the audience is convulsed with
laughter and the next in tears.
The fourth act explains everything
and all ends happy.
AS the play takes place in the old
en- times, it calls for beautiful cos
tunes.
