BARKLEY TELLS
WHY HE ALLOWED
BONDING CO. PBB
Gets Confused as 10 Policy
and Practice Of State
Auditor Of Ky.
Melodramatic Appearance Of
Mr.. 0liphant.
To EXPLAIN HIS CONTRACTS

In a most melodramatic fashion J.
T. oliphant. president of the Vim
cennes Bridge company, of Vincen-
mes. Ind. appeared at the debate be-
tween I. y. Hazeiip and County At
torney Alben Barley, candidates for
county judge, at Milan school house
last night, and denied that he had
ever told Councilman W. l.. Bower he
was compelled to fix the whole court
house ring of McCracken county.
The school was crowded TO suffoca-
ton. Mr.. Hazelip opened the debate.
by recalling the Smedley settlement
In which Mr.. Barley settled with
Smedley's bonding company for less
than the amount due the county, al
lowed the company five per cent for
paying il and did not collect a penalty
of 20 percent and interest for the
time Smedley is alleged to have used
the county's money. To this Mr..
Barley replied that the Republican
state auditor had been allowing about
hundred delinquent Democratic
county clerks to pay back money
stolen from the state without penalty
and prosecution. and he allowed the
same privilege to Mr. Smedley's bond
ing company.
Mr.. Hazelip rejoined that State
Auditors Agent W NJ. Husbands had
offered the same terms to Mr.. Smed-
ley: but when Nj. Smedley did not
refund the money, Mr.. Husbands for
the state auditor sued the company to
collect the full amount due the state
with the penalty. showing that the
state auditor did not extend the priv
llege to bonding companies.
Bridge Matter.

river bridge cases also we're opened
up and Mr.. Hazelip showed that the
company paid for cement 81 cents
more than the market price. and that

of w. L. Bower. which said Oliphant
had told him IT was necessary to fix
the court house ring.
Mr.. Hazelip, reioining to the asser-
tlon that all the members of the ifs
cal court had been summoned before
the grand jury. which investigated
the bridge matter. aid he himself
went to r. L. Nelson. foreman OF the
grand jury, and friend OF the coun-
~ organization. and tolc nv. Nelson
of a certain magistrate, who could
give information. That magistrate
was never summoned. nor was Mr..
Oliphant: but the latter was brought
here after the grand jury had ad-
| journed to make a denial OF some
thing, which everybody knew he
must deny.
II was at the conclusion of Mr..
Hazelip's rejoinder. that MIR. Bark
| ley, whose friends had taken OIL
plant out, according to prearrange-
ment. announced that Mr.. Oiiphant
was in the hall and would like to
speak. While Hazelip was speaking
the horn OF an auto was sounded out
side as a signal and Mr.. Barley went
out at a gesture from a friend inEthe
audience.
Mr.. Oliphant said he had nothing
against Mr.. Hazelip: but he denied
everything in Bowers affidavit. This
was greeted with banzai by Gus Sin

Abdul Hamid, ex-sultan of Turkey,
is said to be getting gradually accus
toned to his captivity. He sees fewer
murderers among his paid attendants,
sleeps better and takes the keenest in

read to him each day, by his favorite
wife. As may be imagined, his ma

glowing accounts of his brothers. vir-

the details are more than he can stand
and he gets into dreadful passion,
usually winding up the s'seance' by
boxing his wife's ears and tearing up
the newspaper. "Why is it" he once
furiously exclaimed, ''that the people
like my brother when they hate me?"
Terror no longer reigns among his at

receives very frank replies. On this
occasion Fethy Bey spoke up. ''Be-

Fethy. ''Write your memories and
perhaps people will then understand

idea, but unfortunately he had not the
necessary notes and papers to compile

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example Of this is found in
Quaker Oats. 1t stands at the top
among foods that supply nOurishment
and vigor. without taxing the digcs-
ton, and yet it is the least expensive
food one can eat
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat
Laborers. factory or farm hands, fed
plentilully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than if
fed on almost any other kind OF food.
All of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro-
fessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. You'll find Quaker Oats in reg
ular size packages. and hermeticaily
sealed tins; the latter is best for hot
climates. s

Very Good Suggestion.

Mr.. h. A. Tompkins, largely inter
ested IN cotton mills. makes this sug-
gcston. THE best way for the
farmer to hold the present price OF
cotton would be for him TO go to
his town and buy his supply of cot
ton goods for the year. If every
cotton farmer in the South would
buy one bolt of goods now he would
please his wife and altogether this
would relieve the goods market.
Cotton is not too high, and If the
farmers will help We can all togeth-
er hold 1t up" Let the Union take
hold Of this matter and we believe
1t would work we'll.
