A Real wild Man RompinE About Near

weird tale about man OF enormous
stature. covered with brlstling red hair.
who has been seen several times in a
swamp near South Burlington.
The wild man. II that's what he Is, Was
lrst seen by a little girl who was picking
berries She had a large bucket and A
small one the former serving as a sort
of base of operations. When she filed
the small pail she went to the big one
and emptied the contents After several
trips she noticed that the big pail did not
seem to be filling up as It ought to, so
she concealed herself in the bushes and
watched After a few moments a man
Of enormous stature, almost entirely
covered with red hair and clad only in
gunny sack. appeared and after gancinY
about. began to eat the berries by hand
fuls. The little girl was frightened it's
needless to say, and after the creature
had eaten her berries she took the pals
and ran for home.
But there are other evidences of the
wild mans existence. Sheep have been
found In several pastures in the neighbour
hood of South Burlington horribly
mangled. and the good housewives Of
that suburb have been missing canned
fruit and other goodies which could be
distracted through a pantry window
There are n lot of shotguns loaded in
South Burlington and it's safe to say
that II the wild man makes his appear

lead injected into his system.

Market Is Flooded with Cloth, while
Raw Cotton TR High.

Cotton cloth is very low In price and
raw cotton Is very high, the local mill
superintendent say, and the cloth mar
ket is overstocked.
Both OF the Chace mills in the city
have been closed since last Thursday
and $50 people are out Of work. The Queen
City mill is running but half time, but
all of the 1875 people employed there are
working. So It can be seen that the local
cotton situation affects the livelihood of
To persons.
w. A. Trask, superintendent Of the
Chace mills. stated yesterday that h,
did not know when work would resume.
'The cloth market is flooded" he said,
cotton cloth is very cheap and raw
cotton is very high. The mills will prob
ably not open until present conditions
change"

right thing in going straight TO
County Judge Barkley. We have al
ready expressed our confidence in his
intentions in regard to the court;
but unless the good citizens of the
community back up the good inten-
tiOns of a public official he can do
little by himself. In the first place.
he requires the assistance of disin-
terested suggestions and co-opera-
ton, and he is continually surround
ed by self-seeking people with urgent
demands. II the good citizens show
no interest in good government, he
may find II advisable to give heed to
bad suggestion in the hope of polt
cal support from that side, or. at
least, lose his enthusiasm in the
cause of good. when good citizens
bolster up the good inclination of
public official and show their interest
against the bad. our government will
reflect their influence. II we demand
that our officials do right. why not
help them to do right?

GOOD ROADS PAVED WITH GOOD
INTENTIONS.

The Evening Sun was classed a
reactionary by some visionary enthu-
siasts because of certain deroga-
tory remarks concerning the wide
open good roads constitutional
amendment, which. as we alleged.
let down the bars to all sorts of
graft. Just as we expected. the first
session of the legislature after the
amendment passed proposes TO mulct
McCracken county some $4,000 an
nually for the benefit of the roads OF
some other county. The taxpayers
are crying for means to reduce taxes.
and IL was soiemnly declared that
by the systematic permanent i'm
provement of the state roads the an
nual expense of maintaining roads
could be reduced and the rate cut
down. Now. the good roads" advo-
Gates propose an additional tax of
five cents. for the state, with the pro-
vision that IL the county wishes to
use any of the state funds IL must
raise twice as much by local taxation
for road purposes. and submit its
plans 10 a state supervisor and road
engineer, whose permission is neces-
The Paducah evening sun., 1910-02-10

sary before the plan can be carried
| out.
IL the good road promoters actu-
ally did think that the road tax
would be reduced in this manner
they must have expected to pave
them like the road to hell-with
good intentions.
In the same issue yesterday, in
which the Bosworth-Wyatt good
roads bill was presented, The Even
ing Sun published an extract from
the Courier-Journal, commenting on
the report of the McCracken county
Judge to the fiscal court, outlining
the plan of road building in vogue
in this county. II is to raise appro-
ximately $4,000 for road purposes
and make permanent Improvements,
the property owners along the road
contributing half, either in money or
labor. These roads are graveled at
an expense of about $500 a mile.
How well the work is done, of
course, is another question. The
plan is good and it is unfair to ask
the citizens of this county to help
build the roads of Trigg. Adair or
jefferson county. Not only should
counties take care of their own
roads. but those. who enjoy the use
of the roads, should pay more than
those, who do not. McCracken
county is working out her own road
and other counties can do
the same. when their citizens attain
to sufficient public spirit to deserve
them. That good roads bill should
be sent to the limbo of all ill-con-
ceived reforms.
