NEWS OF THE WEEK in OUR OWN STATE
Rankin for Congress-Roberts Re-
tires in Good Humor- New Judge
in Thirteenth Observation-Disclosures f
L. & E.-Charge Bomb to Saloon.

RANKIN FOR CONGRESS:-The
Republican Committee of the Seventh
Congressional District has nominated
Secretary of Agriculture Rankin for
Congress in that District. A few
weeks ago there was much excite
ment in the District over the Demo-
cratic nomination, Campbell Cantrill,
the present incumbent, winning out
over State Senator Thomas of Paris.
There seems to be much dissatisfac-
ton in the ranks of the Democrats
with Mr.. Cantrill and it is believed
that Mr.. Rankin will give him hard
race.
mo- SAYS ATTORNEY GENER-
AL:-In an opinion handed TO Supt.
Regenstein by Attorney General
Breathitt it is said that the office
of Supt. of Public Instruction is a
State office and that an election can
not be held to fill it this Fall, as
there is no election for State officers
this Fall. II would seem from this
that the Attorney General would
hold that the members of the Court
of Appeals are not State officers in
the Constitutional sense.
EXCITEMENT IN JACKSON:-The
Coroner's jury which inquired into
the murder of John Abner in jack
son last week has rendered its YER
dict and charges Jason Deaton, John
Davidson and Hacker Combs as
principles and Tom Davidson as an
accessory. All the accused have
been arrested with the exception CT
Deaton. There is great excitement
in the town, the factions being lined
up for trouble, and the militia COM
pany is being held in readiness to
be called out If there should be need.
ROBERTS SETS GOOD EXAMPLE:
Mr.. S. j. Roberts who has been
Internal Revenue Collector of the
Seventh District for more than IL
years has been succeeded by Col.
Field Contrary to the usual custom,
Mr.. Roberts retires ungrudgingly, and,
not only so, but he is to give
fine banquet in honor of his success
sor at the Lexington Country Club.
JUDGE SAUFLEY'S SUCCESSOR:
Acting Governor Cox has appoint
ed Lewis L. Walker, of Garrard Co.
to succeed Judge Saufley who died
recently. The appointment has been
severely criticised by State Auditor
James on the ground that the act
ing Governor was playing politics,
It being charged that the only quail
fichtion considered in the selection
of Mr.. Walker was. the fact that he
is Bradley adherent. Governor Cox
rel plies that he appointed Judge Wal
fr: because he was the best man
for the place.
! L. & E. TO EXTEND The L. &
E. Railroad has amended its articles
Of incorporation so as to permit an
increase of indebtedness from four to
ten million dollars. 1t is the express
ed purpose of the company to ex-
tend its line from Jackson on thru
the mountains to the Virginia line
and there make some eastern con-

vice-President's Scheming-Roose-
veit's Western Trip-Taft and the
Tariff.


END OF ANCIENT KINGDOM
Monday, the 29th, witnessed the end
of the Kingdom Of Corea. As the
outcome of the Russo-Japanese War
and by treaty agreement the Emper-
or of Corea issued a farewell state
ment TO his people and resigned the
government entirely to the japanese.
Js pan has made an announcement o.
her policies and seems to be acting
i'm good faith toward all concerned.
IL is not now thought that there will
be any international complications.
BY DIVINE RIGHT:-The Emper-
or of Germany has stirred up hor-
nets nest by a recent speech in
which he asserts his right to rule
the German people is by Divine
Commission. The Germans have been
for some years rather proud of the
fact that they are constitutional
monarchy, and they assert that the
Kaiser holds his crown by act of
Parliament. The speech is consider
ed another of the Emperor's impol-
itic utterances that may bear much
mischievous fruit in the near future.
THE WORST EVER:-The forest
fires in the west are now practically
under control but the death losses
are not yet fully known, and proba-
bly, never will be. The number of
known dead is now a little above
200. The monetary loss is practically
inestimable. The States enduring the
greatest loss are Washington, Idaho
and Montana.
GAYNOR LEAVES HOSPITAL
Mayor Gaynor's physicians have al
lowed him to be taken to his home.
He is sufficiently recovered to walk,
but the exertion was too much for
him and he finally fell from weakness
He is thought now to be entirely
out of danger.
TAFT FIXES BLAME:-President
Taft has issued a ringing statement
in which he completely clears HIM
self of any connection with the
snubbing OF Col. Roosevelt. In his
statement he publishes a telegram
which shows that he was in no way
connected with the movf to shelve
the Ex-President, but on the con-
trary advised the Vice-President 10
consult with him freely. The entire
blame for the unfortunate affair now
seems to be laid at the door of the
Vice-President who is keeping silent.
1t was a purely selfish move on his
part and underhanded, which has
resulted, as it should have, in dis
crediting himself, and greatly in
creasing the popularity of both the
President. of whom he sought to
make a tool, and MIR. Roosevelt,
whom he sought to shelve.
ROOSEVELT THE SAME.-Mr.
Roosevelt is now ON his western trip,
which is one continual ovation. lie

lie righteousness, and opponent CT

NO CONFERENCE IN SMYRNA
AsburY Church Finds 1t ImpracticabIe
to Entertain Methodist Body at
Its Session Next March

There will be no session of Will
mington Methodist Episcopal Con-
ference in Smyrna next March. The
quarterly conference of Asbury
Church at its last session, authorized
the pastor, Rev. A. S. Mobray, as
recently announced, to inquire into
the possibility of entertaining the
next session of the Wilmington Con-
ference, but after going into the sub
ject thoroughly, the conclusion has
been reached that it is not practical
to extend the invitation at this time.
A canvass was taken and so much
objections was raised, it was decided
to abandon the effort. 1t was only
four years ago that Smyrna enter
tanned the conference and the good
housewives were unwilling to undergo
the tax and strain when they felt
there were other towns who should
come in before Smyrna Once in
ten years is about as often as Smyrna
has taken care of the great Methodist
body. In fact there are many in
Smyrna as well as other parts of
the State who feel that each church
should bear the expense of it's own
| delegates to conference or contribute
to fund for conference entertain
ment. Now that Smyrna he's decided
not to extend an invitation, it j. not
certain where the conference will
meet when it assemblies next March
for the annual session. At the last
session, as there was no invitation
for the next meeting. the matter
was left with the district superin
tendents, the expectation being tha'
one or more invitations would be re-
ceived in ample time to accept ont
of them before the date of conven
ing, but up to the present time nj
invitations have been received by tn,
district superintendents, and it i
not known just what will be done
While the next session will be he'll
in March of next year, the date o
beginning is not certain. 1t will b
fixed by the Board of Bishops at it
session next month.

Townsend, Sept. 90. The large

tween Townsend and Odessa was COM
pletelv destroyed by fire of unknown
origin, Saturday night, and the loss

He notified the neighbors, but when
they reached the place the fire had
gotten too far under way and nothing
could be done to save the house or
any of the goods. The only thing
that the men could do was to save
the other buildings on the place. The
fire was discovered shortly before 8
O'Clock by a passerby who hurried to
Odessa and telephoned to Townsend.
Mr.. Ellingsworth was taken to the
scene of the blaze by W. H. Reyn-
olds, in the latter's autombile, but
he arrived too late to do anything.

consumed. The building was large
two story frame structure For
tunately the farm buildings were
some distance away from the house
and they escaped the flames or the
loss might have been considerably
greater. Mr. Ellingsworth is unable
to account for the fire. He said that
there had been no fire in the stove
or in the kitchen since about
o. clock in the afternoon and the family
did not leave the house for Townsend
until the evening. MIR. Filings
worth did not own the house anC

All the clothing of the Filings

ONE MORE CHANCE FOR VOTERS
October 22 the Last Day And the Two
Districts of Smyrna Must Qualify
SAT Votes to Equal Years Ago


Districts of Smyrna Must Qualify
SAT Votes to Equal Years Ago
Only one more Registration Day
is left for the leaders of both parties
to qualify their vote and the time
from now on until then will be de-
voted to canvassing the voters and
see that every man who is entitled
to vote is registered. On Satur-
day last, the third sitting of the two
registrars in this district, there
were 200 names put on, Registrar
John S. Griffin qualifying 81 names
and Registrar John S. Anthony, 113.
In comparison with two years ago,
the qualified vote is much short and
this means there will be considerable
hustling to get all the men on. In
the four registration days which
have just passed, there have been
709 votes qualified in this district,
334 on the east side and 375 on the
west. AS the total vote qualified
at the last election was 1856, it will
be seen that BAT names will have to
be put on to bring the vote up to
two years ago. The next and last
Registration Day is October 22nd.
! In Wilmington the total vote regis
tered on Saturday, the fourth regis
tration day, was 2,13O, making a
total for the first four days of
IS, 706, showing a decrease of 1,141
as compared with the figures for the
first four days two years ago, which
were 10, S47 This is an off year,
however, and the vote is always
lighter than in the Presidential cleo
tion year. The total vote two years
ago in Wilmington was about $4,000
and this year it is not expet ted to
reach quite 81, 900.

GRAPE CULTURISTS ABOUT
SMYRNA REPORT HALF CROP
DUE TO EARLY SPRING FROSTS
AND RAVAGES OF ROSE BUGS
Despite Disappointing Conditions, Mrs.
j. E. Carter Ships 45OO Gases and
w. T, Massey 5000 Gases

The grape crop around and about
Smyrna has been very much of dis
appointment this year and instead of
there being a full crop, growers only
report about a half, with prices as
disappointing as the crop. Since the
days when the late Joseph F.. Carter
gave an impetus to grape culture in
this vicinity, there have been many
Vineyards set out and grapes have
largely succeeded peach culture
which years ago was a thriving in
dustry around Smyrna, Clayton and
Brenford. Mrs. j. E. Garter and
her brother, Walter T. Massey, are
still in the lead in grape culture in
this vicinity and for the past few
weeks their farms have been busy
scenes of activity. Mrs. Carriers crop
will reach about 4500 cases this year
while Mr.. Massey will only have
shipped about 5000 cases. These
! shipments represent about half of
their output of last year. The Con-
cord variety were the most prolific
but the Moore's and other varieties
did not turn out any thing like they
do in normal years. The short crop
was due to the early frosts and to
rose bugs which damaged Vineyards
to a considerable extent. To add
to all of this the market prices have
been more or less of a disappoint-
ment. This is attributed in a large
measure to the large peach crops
throughout the country which have
had tendency to make a demand
for peaches and a slower market fnl
grapes. Harry Ross, the leading
grape grower of Cheswold, is through
shipping fairly good crop from tw,
acres. He reports some damage b.
frost to Moores and the early vari
eties but his Concord made a fin
yield which overbalanced his los
in other varieties. His output wa
six hundred cases for which h
realized fairy good prices.

instances entirely so.
