LIQUOR Money and Taxes.

Because the saloons have left Bat
tie Creek the ways and means com
mittee finds itself shy $1,000 in tax
money, and as Mayor Bailey has
thrown cold water on appropriations
in view of the citys overdraft, 1t looks
as If rather advanced tax rate must
be fixed. The city's overdraft is over
$4,000, yet each department of the
municipal government asks for a larg-
er budget than usual. Liquor men will
use the situation as an argument for
1911, when local option will come up
again.

FEUDS AGAIN.
The Hargus Murders Are Re.echoec

The Hargus Murders Are Re.echoed
in Bloody Breatnitt.
ED" Callahan, former sheriff of
Breathitt county, and chief lieutenant
of Judge James Hargis during the feudcJ
that bathed the county in blood, was
shot from ambush and will probably
die The shooting OF Callahan is ex.
pected 10 revive the old trouble and,
unless strong measures are taken i'm
mediately, the same lawless lcondi-
tions are likely to prevail.
Callahan had swept out his little
store in Charlottesville and was stand
ing in the front doorway with the
broom in his hands when there was a
crack of a rifle and he fell back. A
puff Of smoke in the woods $50 yards
away told where the would-be assassin
had waited with his Winchester for
the appearance of the former sheriff
The bullet struck Callahan in the
stomach, passed through his body ana
splintered a door in the other side of
the room ED" Callahan was chief
lieutenant of Judge James Hargis, who
was recently murdered by his son,
Beach Hargis, who is serving life
term in the penitentiary for the deed.
Hargis was the central figure of the
famous Hargis-C oc.:rill feud, in which
an untold number of men, women and
children lost their lives-for even wo-
men and children were not exempt
During the course of that feud no man
dared fill the Office of coroner in the
county. OF 30 known deaths as a result
of the feud, only che man was not
shot from ambush and that one was
shot in the back. Thu ough the north
end east it was the genor raj belief that
a code of honor existed in the back
woods of Kentucky, but 80 of these
40 murders were the work of hired as
sassins A common phrase in the dis
trict was:
Here, take this So, kill my man
and bring back the change"
Callahan is said to have helped
Judge Hargis plan many killings. Both
he and Judge Hargis were arrested
six years ago after the killing OF At
torney ]. B. Marcum, who was assas-
sinated in the street near the Jackson
court house Callahan was appointed
sheriff by Judge Harg's and enemies
OF the Hargis clan declared they were
prosecuted by him.
The immediate cause of this most
recent shooting is thought to have
been a dispute over the management
of a church Callahan built in Crock
ettsville and of which he is a deacon.
In Jackson a few days ago he told
his friends he was fearful of his life

Politics in Ressem

Politics is being much discussed in this district at present and the interests seem to be centered on the race for sheriff Much comment has been made on the number of candidates that have entered the field and it Is the opinion of many that this will cause the vote of the win ming man to be rather small. In the candidates for sheriff Walter McAdory 1t appears. will poll a heavy vote in this city. Mallory is strong for governor and the city will go solid for ". T. Kennedy as auditor. The prohibition element is stropg in politics at present and a good deal of the argument for and against tho various candidates is based on this prin- ciple. The fee system will be potent factor in county politics and the citizens are watching with keen interest the ef- fort to do away with this system of pay ing the officials of the county

The probable route of the road through Bessemer will be through the southern part of the town and will cross Nineteenth street near First avenue. This will necessitate the removal of the building used al present by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company as a station. Several other buildings in the business part of the town will have to be removed and it is stated unoffcially that a force will be put to work in the near future on this work
