COMPUTATION PROOFS.

The Communication section in
the homestead law never contem-
plated anything but relief for
those settlers who for good rea-
sons could not complete the five
year proof. A recent decision in
the matter has been handed down
and the following comment from
the Bad River Is. d. News
seems to discuss it in such
plain manner as to be worthy OF
copy and credit:

up bit unless congress rushes to
the rescue and passes legislation

The opinion lands on commu-
tation proofs pretty hard 1t
simply announces for the first
time, in no doubtful terms, that
a party who takes homestead
land with the intention of resid-
ing thereon fourteen months,
making the necessary improve
ments, and cultivating the land
as required by law, will have his
entry held for cancellation. Strict
compliance with the commutation
law is not enough. The sur
rounding circumstances must be
such as to indicate that the par
ty, when he filed on the land, in
tended to make final fve-year
proof and hold the land perma-
nently as his actual residence.
'In the case decided the party
had been on the land with the
exception of two nights contin-
uously for fourteen months, he
had made substantial improve
ments, and had nearly 20 acres
under cultivation, yet acts of the
party before filing and after
proving up indicated that he took
the land solely for the purpose
of securing the title, and never
intended to reside on the land af-
ter patent issued. The entry
was cancelled entirely on the
ground that the facts indicated
that the entryman had intended
to commute and leave the land
from the first.

proofs, where patent has not

6. W. II. Stanley.

Recently we made mention of
the death of Prof. q. W. II. STAN
ley, of Macon, Ga, who, in 1892,
married Miss Mamie Anderson,
daughter of Mrs. NJ. w. Ander-
son, of our county. In 1892 he
established SANKEY'S Business
College at Townsville, Ga. There
he successfully conducted the
school for II years. In 1904 he
moved the school to Macon, Ga. ,
where it has since been a prosper
Gus and popular institution. A
Macon paper says of him:
He was a successful business
man and held in the high
est esteem by all who knew him.
His strict honesty and integrity
were the shining traits of his char
acter. Having climbed from the
bottom himself, he knew how to be
genuine friend to the struggling,
deserving young men and women
and many of them today owe their
successful careers to the start
given them by his assistance and
advice.
In his private life his noble
character probably eXhumed its
sweetest fragrance.
During all this time his devoted
wife has been a faithful co-laborer,
and that she las determined to
continue the school under the same
name and policy will be well
come news to those who had come
to know it as one of the foremost
educational institutions of the
State.
A Christian gentlemen of strong
convictions, strictest honor and
integrity and marked ability as an
instructor, a tender, loving and
devoted husband and father, he
leaves a place in the home and
community that can never be filled.

FACE VALUE OF CHECKS To Be KEPT IN PRISON.
Young Turks Send Former Sui

The former ruler of the Empire,
Abdul Hamid H., is to be kept a
prisoner on height overlooking
Saloniki, lately occupied by the
Italian commander of the inter-
national gendarmerie. He is not
to be put on trial. His household
will be administered for him upon
a generous scale and his life will
be safeguarded.
Abdul Hamid. with four wives,
five daughters and two of his
younger sons was taken from the
Yildiz Palace and started for Sa-
loniki.
The Constitutionalists would like
to get the great sums of money
that the former Sultan is supposed
to have abroad. Speculation places
Abdul Hamid's wealth at anything
between $4,000, 900 and $780,

Must Be Paid By Coal Company
Deduction OF 10 Per Cent 10
Miners USuriOuS.

The Court of Appeals recently
decided case of great Importance
to miners and mine owners. The
case was Kentucky Coal Mining
Company against Ben Mattingly,
from Union county. The coal
. company issued aluminus checks
20 the miners in advance of pay
days but deducted 10 per cent of
their wages when they came to
settle on pay day, for the favor of
advancing them the substitute for
money.
Mattingly had accumulated over
1920 worth of these checks and
asked the coal company to redeem
the checks at their face value in
stead of deducting the 10 per cent.
The company refused and he
brought suit to compel it to re-
deem them at their face value.
The court here says: The COM
pany did not lend it's men money.
It's lending it's credit to them
until next pay day in considera-
ton of deduction of 10 per cent
from their wages, was contract
Ole law will not sanction or en-
force. If such contracts were
upheld, our usury laws would be
vain and useless" The judgment
of the lower court directing the
coal company to pay the face val
ne of the checks is affirmed.

Mr.. Hunter has convictions equally

Mr.. Hunter has convictions equally

The temperance question is the
live wire in Kentucky politics and
applies to one party as we'll as
the other. No candidate can
dodge it.
To say that the temperance
question is a moral one, and is not
political, is fine in theory, but in
practice, where moral and eco
nomic questions are to be settled
by the lawmakers, the people will
make it question in spite of the
politicians.
the stallion show came to an alb
rupt end. James I. Wade and a
colored man who was showing the
speed of their horses, ran together,
in opposite directions. Both were
thrown to the ground. The ne
gro'S cart was demolished and
horse badly crippled. The wheel
of Mr.. Wade's cart was broken
and the axle broke, but horse was
not hurt. Other horse owners
took their stations in.
Gov. Wilson, in pardoning W.
;. Taylor and others. has done no
more than was his duty. The
prosecution in the last trial of
Powers fell down completely.
There never would haye been an
other trial. Some will criticise
him because they honestly believe
that the parties were guilty. Poll
ticans will use it to accomplish DO
litical ends, but we are confident
that a large majority of the peO-
pie will approve of what has been
done. Taking the matter as a
whole. neither party can look back
at what occurred at and following
the election of 1899 with any de-
gree of pride.
One of the most horrible crimes
in the history of Winchester was
committed Wednesday evening at
1870 o'clock when Miss Jessie Tur-

two unknown men and an assault
was attempted. Mrs. Turner with
her four single daughters live on
VIM Avenue. In the rear of the
house is "A long flight of steps.
She had gone down "A few steps
when she was suddenly seized by
two men. They carried her about
100 yards in the rear of the stock
pens. Her screams attracted the
attention Of two boys ON their way
to town. They with VIII Ball
and Robert Scobee went to where
the screams came from. They
found Miss Turner with her hands
and feet tied and rope around
her neck. Most of her clothes
were torn from hex and a part Of
her shirt waist was wrapped
around her head and face. (See

sion in His Domain.

COnStantlnOple, April 70. ne
reign of the Red Sultan" is end
ed. Abdul Hamid III. has been
deposed, giving way on the throne
to Mehmed Reschad Effendi, who
begins his reign as Mehmed ", a
variation of Mahomet, it being
considered inappropriate to assume
the precise name of the prophet.
Mehmed V. is the thirty-hfth SOW
ereign of Turkey in male descent
of the house of Osman, the founder
Of the empire, and the twenty
ninth Sultan since the conquest of
Constantinople.
The two Houses of Parliament,
meeting as national assembly,
approved the decree of deposition.
The document recites that Abdul
Hamid's acts were contrary to the
sacred law and set forth a long list
of crimes. The newly chosen ruler
took the oath at the War Office.
He then proceeded to the Parlia-
ment and later went to the Dolma
Bagtocke Palace as head of the
Empire, where for so many years
he had practically been in prison.
Martial law was relaxed Tues
day and the people gave them
selves over to celebrating the vic
tory of the Young Turks party
and the end of Abdul Hands
reign.
The Sheik-ul-Islam issued the
fetva as the decree of deposition is
called. 1t informed Mehmed Res
chad Effendi that he was chosen
Sultan by the will of the church,
by the will of the Parliament, the
will of the army and the will of
the people. 1t admonished him to
serve God and keep the sacred law
as communicated by the prophet.
This Reschad humbly promised to
do.
The Sheik-ul-Islam personally
visited the Sultan and informed
His Majesty that the question hay
ing been put in canonical form be-
fore the Sheik and his associates
as to whether Abdul Hamid had
not forfeited the right to rule over
the faithful, they had decided
Yes"
Abdul bowed his head, saying :
1T is the will of Allah"
The decree declared that Abdul
Hamid ii. must abdicate or be de-
throned.
L he assembly unhesitatingly
shouted "Dethrone him!'
