THERE seems to be considerable I'M
easiness among certain people rs to
whether or not Mrs. Alice LongSworth
smokes CT garettcs. Many happenings
are being recorded daily Of far more
importance and interest than the pri-
vate habits of an ex-preSidcut daugh-
ter. Suppose she does smoke cigarettes
OF what importance is this fact to the
world at large? Let her continue to
smoke If she wishes to. but it iS-h"pcd
her example will not be followed by
the refined women of this country.

which has maintained its exclusive
character for more than IA century.
Johnson is negotiating for the purchase
of house in that locality. 1T is un-
derstood that Johnson. if the deal goes
through, will maintain the house in
style corresponding to the prevailing

Church and who once said that he
would be willing to make Booker

charges were made openly before y
congressional investigating committee,
and Senator Gore must have realized
the responsibility of such allegations.
The vice president and others against
whom these shafts were aimed have
positively denied the charges and have
bedecked themselves with the white
roses OF innocence. The country will
await with interest the outcome OF this
last clap of thunder which has driven
the accused to shelter. This is the Sec

COUNCIL YOTED
TO GRANT THRTY-TRO SALOON uCEN-
SEES AT CHARLESTON.

At the meeting of the Charleston
City Council Saturday night twenty
seven licenses to retail spirituous
liquors were granted and FIVE whole
sale licenses, the vote on the question
of the permits standing 81 for, 10
against and three absent or not
voting.
Grant Hall and Judge Shepherd,
of the county court, were Saturday
night, heard to say that if the city
council voted to grant the license per-
mits, the court would grant licenses,
when the applications come to that
body. One license was refused; this
being to ]. p. Clark, who applied
for license to s,-rl whisky outside
of the district bounded b. an ordin-
ance passed by the city council in
1906.
Councilman Raw was absent when
the roll was called at . 80 o'clock
but came in later. Before the per-
mits were presented to the council
for action upon them. Mr.. Stephen
son moved that the council allow
persons who were present TO address
the council before the matter of the
license permits was taken up. DR..
Robins amended this motion by
moving that no permission be granted
as the question had been thoroughly
discussed by persons other than the
councilmen at previous adjourned
meeting. This amendment carried
and the permits were than taken up.
There was little or no argument
about the permits between the wet
and dry factions, the separate vote
on each permit being taken with
clock like monotony.

UNDER $4,000 BOND.

Bill Game is under arrest, charged
with assault with intent to kill, which
will probably be changed to murder.
Last Friday he threw a rock striking
Geo. Shin back of the left temple,
fracturing his skull from which the
doctor says he cannot recover. The
affair happened on Thirteen Mile
Creek, near Rock Castle, just over
the line in jackson county. 1t is
said the parties had had trouble on
several other occasions and the bad
feeling was what led up to the attack.
Game was arrested Monday night
late just as he was getting ready to
leave the country, by officer J. F.
Carney, of Ripley, on the exact spot
where the crime was committed. He
was placed under ten thousand doll
ars bond awaiting developments in
the case and will have his pelimin-
mary hearing on Saturday, May 2S.
