ly cut. %. -

Meeting c osed.

The series of meetings which was
conducted bx Rev. NJ. f. Dodd.
of Paducah at the Baptist church
closed Wednesday night. Rev. Dodd
is an able minister and his sermons
were enjoyed by large number of
the people of Hartford. The rule re-
quiring the ladies to remove their
hats during services was something
which has been needed here for a
long time, but which our home minis
tiers have not had the courage 10 ell
force. A sermon heard from behind
one of these twentieth century pieces
of millinery loses about three fourths
of its force and effect, ard Rev.
Dodd is to be recommended for his
fffmness in requesting the removal of
these distractions from the pathway
of the word OF God. The meeting re-
suited in three conversions and seven
additions to the local church.

GROVES MEET.
And Ratify Sale of 1909
Pool.
Some Argued for Accepting the
Sale Samples and Others
We're Bitterly Opposed.

About 100 members of the
Green River Tobacco Growers asso-
citation met at Greensboro Wednesday
to approve or reject she proposed
ale of the 1909 crop. The sale was
ratified and President Berry was en-
dorsed.
There Is considerable dissatisfac-
ton over the way in which tobacco
now being delivered is being classed.
1t is claimed that very little of the
Davies county tobacco of this year
fits the SO, SO, and SO samples and
that only a small amount of it comes
UP to the samples priced at IS, IS.
and SO. This cuts the price to s..
81 and SO or below. It is probable
that this will cause much discussion
at the meeting to-day. Most OF this
dissatisfaction is among the poolers
of the Home Warehouse company
who are now dliveering.
Mr.. Berry stated that it is said on
every hand by persons who should
know better that he has sold out 20
the trust despite the fact that he has
financed the association with his
own money and given his time and
energy TO the advancement of the as
sOciation's cause. He staJed that be-
cause of the criticism against him
he would decline TO act as chairman
and he retired, but was nominated and
reelected chairman by aeelamation.
Samples drawn to as closely rs pos
sible represent the real samples for
the 1909 sale wore inspected by he
meeting as a whole and there was
considerable dissa .isfaction, many say
ing that their tobacco would not go
above the third class, for which leaf
and Tugs bring only 81, Othres claim.
that they can meet the samples or
better them.
Hon. P. w Berkshire expressed
the opinion that the samples ought
not be drawn by last years crop.
but should be made - represent this
years crop as nearly ms possible, and
he suggested that any action be d.
forrcd until next Saturday.
A question was next raised aS to The
c. mparison Cf ;Ee samples in the
meeting with those which he de
liveries are 10 be made, and af ~
the original samples had been SEM
for a committee Of five was appointed
to compare them and report back, IL
being admitted that too much hand
ling would spoil the delivery samples.
After the inspecting committee had
made favorable report the ralfica-
ton or rejection of the sale WIS TAX
en- up and with only a few votes OPP
posing, the sale was ratified. The
meeting then went on record as unan-
imously indorsing the work of Henry
Berry and urging him TO continue at
the head of the organization.

capt. WALKER
INSTITUTES suit
Served During the Recent Night
Rider Troubles-Claims an
Additional $500.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 1.-Suit has
been filed in the Franklin Circuit
court by Capt. Ed c. Walker, of the
Henderson militia company, Ken
lucky State Guards, against Gov.
August f. Wilson, Auditor Frank
p. James and Adjt. Gen. p. p. John
ston, in which mandamus is asked
of the court to compel a certification
of his military services in 1908, and
for $20O.02, which he alleges is still
due him for his services.
The suit is in the nature of a
friendly one to test the Kentucky
statute on the point of whether
state guard officers in active service
shall receive the same pay as officer
of the regular army now do when on
like service. Capt. Walker was on
much active duty in the night rider
troubles last year. About fifteen or
twenty other officers of the state
guard are vitality Interested in the
decision of this suit, and the courts
judgment will cut a figure of several
thousand dollars to them.
BY statute of the general as
sembly. enacted in 1906, it was fixed
that the pay of state guard Officers
on active duty should be at the sam
rate as that paid regular Officers. The
congress of 1908 increased the pay
of officers on active duty from SO l.
to 10 per cent, according 10 grade,
and the Kentucky military Officers
contend that they should be paid UNI
der the nwe government scale of sal
aries.
The matter was referred to Attor-
ney General Breathitt when the
claims were made, and his depart
ment sustained the officers. Gov.
Wilson, however, declined to APP
prove the pay checks until cour:
decision had been obtained on the
point in question Attorneys Heavrin
and Woodward are of counsel for
Capt. Walker in uhe suit which has
been filed.

for the purpose of considering a sale

gerous 10 hold their pol for be-,er

The crop sold will amount - some
thing over half million pounds. It
will come largely from the Whitesvills
section of Daviess county but will
also reach other sections and lap in
to Hancock and Ohio counties to
some extent.

sary. j. w, Dunn, OF Whitesvilla, one

ESQUIRE CHAMBERLAIN
DEFENDS POSITION.
His Plan Would Be Less Ex-
pensive Than Pres
ent.
Editor Republican,

Editor Republican,
l see a communication from one
who signs his name "A Student"
who seems to tthihnk my proposed pl
for working the roads in Ohio County
would be too expensive. Now l am
truly glad he gives the tax payers
some figures to show them what ex-
pense my proposed plan would be to
them. My frined may be correct in his
statements. If so there certainly
could be no objections to my plan.
His first suggestion Is to the time.
Now / did not limit the time. / only
suggested the month of April to COM
mence work as | expected the work to
be continued until the roads were
finished. He says 1t will take eight
months or 1873 days to work the roads,
and that the teams and scrapers would
cost SO per day. Well we do not think
that so costly. Really we did not ex-
pect large grader with six mules and
four men to do the work for less than
$3.50 per day. So we will take your num-
Der of days, 1873 for working the roads
Now we find that we have a cost
for the 16 men, "a mules and four
graders Of S7219.20. The above amount
is about the whole cost including feed
for teams and board for the men.
Now my friend, this may hook large
to you and in fact Is a large sum of
money but did you ever stop to think
of the cost that the tax payers are
now out for work done on roads? We
find that there has been expended
up to the present date on roads ST.
400. Now we will take the proposed
plan expenses from the present sys-
tenn, We find that We have $41S080
left. So we see a. once the proposed
plan is not so bad and not SD eXpen-
sive as one might think. We have
in all about 2,100 miles of road in
Ohio county and we have 4472 road
hands. Suppose We work all thnse hand
six days in a year as "A Student" rec
ommends at 81 per day. The amount
would be S26,S32. Then we have alread
appropriated and expended $11,40O,
not including the blowing on roads
which will amount TO something like
$4,000. Now add up the total and you
have $42,232, This will give you an
Idea Of how the county has been 60
ing on with our present rad working
system, and this is why make this
proposition to the tax payers and
road hands. My friend seems to think
that good roads would please the au'
TO- man. Now | want you 10 know
that am no auto man, nor am | an
agent for any Automobile Company.
In faci ] do not have much love for
them for every time meet one on the
road, | have trouble in getting my
horse by it.
The man who is clamoring after
me for good roads Is the tax payer
and good honest farmer, who raises to
baccO, ccrn- wheat and potatoes 10
markes. lie is the man l am interest
cd in and not the 'aGtoman. do not
undertake TO say that my plan is the
plan, but l merly suggest this prop
osition and Mr.. "A Studnet," with all
due rspeect and kindness twards you
and / am very thankful to you for
your communication, viii please give
me some plan for working the roahs?
Very truly yours,
b. S. CHAMBERLAIN.

GOV. WILSON
BREAKS RECORD.
Has Visited One Hundred
and Twelve Counties.
Expects to Go to All Before
His Term Ex-
pires.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. Lone rec
ord will be held by Gov. Wilson, is
held now, in fact that distinguishes
him from every other Governor of
Kentucky. Gov. Wilson has spoken
in a larger number OF counties in
Kentucky than any other man VINO
ever sat In the executives Chair.
He has already spoken in 112 coun-
ties in the state and expects TO speak
to the remaining seven before he goes
out of office. He wants the peo-
pie Of the state to feel that they
know him and for this reason he will
make a special effort to visit the
seven counties into which he has
never been. Gov. Wilson also holds
the record for the largest crowds
and the smallest that were addressed
by a candidate for office in Kentucky.
He spoke to immense crowds in sew
eral places, but once addressed an
assemblage of only three voters.
Gov. j. C. w. Beckham held the
record, before Gov. Wilson, for hav-
ing spoken in more counties in Ken
lucky than any other Governor and
he probably holds the record for hav-
ing spoken in the largest number of
counties while Governor of the state.
Gov. Beckham went into counties
whioh had never before been visited
by a Governor of the State and he
spoke In the mountains where it was
hard for him to keep his appointment
on account of lack of railroad facil-
titles. Gov Beckham was the first
Governor of kentucky to visit many
counties in the state and on his visi,s
the people were given their first OPP
portunity to see a Governor
Gov. Wilson has just recently
spoken in the 10Th county and is
making his plans for another tour Of
the state when he will visit the follow
ing counties whore he has never
been: Martin, Menifee, Jackson, Cum
.berlain, Russell Edmonnson and
Green With these exceptions the
present Governor has been in every
county in Kentucky. Most of the
counties We're visited by the Cover
or during his campaign when he
made a through canvass of the state.
He has been In the mountains, how
ever, since he became Governor and
has taken some hard trips to get to
the counties which are far removed
from railroads. It ds his ambition to
have visited every county in the
state before he retiers as he feels
that the people will be in closer touch
with him II they can see him.
10 show that the Governor was
game he spoke once TO only three
persons. This was some time ago
and not while he was Governor. The
mere fact that he is Governor helps
to draw crowds when he speaks as
Use people want to see the Governor,
the man with the pardoning power,
so he Is sure of crowd when he
speaks now, But once, when he was
candidate. on a bad day in the coun'
try, the Governor found that only
three persons had come to hear him.
He made his speech just the same
and II is said to have been a good
one.
