LITTLE LEFT OF
SEMINARY FUND
OF M'CRACKBN co.
Money From Sale Of State
Lands Diminishes TO
Less Than Half.
Given to County Board For
High School.
VARIED HISTORY OF MONEY

The accrediting OF the county court
house fund to the new county High
school fund Is not unlike the return
lof the prodigal son, and II is given
as great a welcome by the county
school board. as was the reception OF
the hayward son. The fund was
established many years ago, and so
few records of the fund have been
made that the story of its trials and
sorrows is more like tradition than a
fund in the county government. Even
the county officials know but little of
its history. and that has been gained
from information from old citizens
rather than from a perusal OF the
county records.
About the year 1893 the state Iegis-
lature gave to the few. counties west
OF the Tennessee river many acres of
land to be used for school purposes
For years the land was rented and
the money used to support the school.
About 1871 the state legislature
passed a second act. which permitted
the county to dispose of the land and
use the interest for the building of
seminary. At the sale of the land
about $4,000 was realized and since
then II has been a football, which
the county officials tossed from one
man to another. Part OF the time
the fund has remained idle, while at
other periods 1t was loaned to indi- |
viduals, and through these shiftingsl
part OF 1t was dropped each time, and |
the sum dwindled from the original |
figures until now It Is about $1,000. |
About i've years ago the county
collected the money and placed II in
bank, where 1t has remained at in
terest. At the time the money was
changed from the seminary fund to
the county court house fund by the
fiscal court. II was intended for II |
to be used as a nucleus for the cree
ton of a new court house. but no
new court house is floating in the air.
VIII Help School.
The new school law provides for a
county high school. which will be
erected at Heath, and the county be-
comes liable for any debts that are
existing on the districts. The 20 cent
levy which was made for school pur-
poses will Just about clear OF the old
notes due on few districts and meet
the expenses of running the county
schools.
The board would be obliged to go
IN 10 40 f.k

4 IL Is almost vulgar to own one.
As to the cash prizes. money Is said
to be unsanitary. Little germs are
said to be lurking In every fold OF a
bank note and microbes cling with
characteristic tenacity to the smooth
surface OF a twenty dollar gold piece.
Some philosopher has observed, how
ever, that the unhealthiest thing
about money is the lack OF II. The
persons who win the second and third
prizes in this contest will not be both
cred with an immediate shortage in
running expenses.
District Prizes.
In Graves, Galloway, Marshall.
Caldwell, Fulton, Ballard, Living
ston, Carlisle and Hickman counties
the following prizes will be given In
each county. except In the last two
named, which are taken together as
one district: 81.
First District Prize--Four hundred
dollar Ward piano. purchased from
w. T. Miller & Bro, the live piano
men of Paducah. The Ward needs
no Introduction nor endorsement
other than It's own merits. which are
well known TO the people of West
Kentucky.
Second District Prize--One hun
bred dollar suite OF furniture pur-
chased from the Rhodes-Burford COM
pany of Paducah. These suites will
include a brass bed, a Circasslan
Walnut ChiffoHier. wash stand and
two chairs, a handsome drugget,
springs. mattress and pillows. This
will make one of the
bedrooms ever fitted out
by this furniture company or any
other.
Third district prize--A seventy-five
dollar optional scholarship in The Pa
ducah Central Business College. This
prize Is well worth the concentrated
effort of any young man or woman
entering the contest, and, being trans
ferable is of great value to older can
didates who lose out on the bigger
prizes. The type of commercial edu-
cation obtained at this Institution is
we'll known and appreciated by all
the business men and women OF this
section.
Fourth district prize-A fifty dol
lar lady's or gentleman's gold watch.
This is a guaranteed watch with
seventeen jewel movement. the kind
that are given as grand prizes In
many contests.
Fifth district prize-These prizes
Will be worth twenty-five dollars each
They will be announced later.
In Marshall Graves and Mccrack-
en- counties there is some variation
In the district prize list. In the first
named a fifty dollar range will be
awarded as fourth district prize. In

Strike May Fail

Paris, May 1s.-The expected In
crease In the number OF striking post
men and telegraphers, did not ma
terialize today. II is now believed
the movement will fall utterly. Tele-
graphic communication with England
is badly affected, outside that the sit
uation is slightly improved.
The worst from outside the city
today is from Lille, where strikers
cut the telegraph wires and injured a
number Of fine instruments in the
telegraph Office. Late this afternoon
200 postmen were forced to quit.

of former contests ana realize the
benefits to be derived from getting
