Bond Issued for Good Roads.

Some cheering information as TO
the progress Of the good roads move
ment in the South was given in an
address in October last by G. Gross
venor Dave, managing director OF
the Southern Commercial Congress.
The speech was delivered before the
Southern Appalachian Good Roads
convention at Asheville, N. c., and is
republished in Southern Good Roads,
magazine issued from Lexington,
n. c., in the interest of highway nm
provement.
Mr.. Dave presented figures show
ing that from March TO September,
1909, the Southern States had voted
bond issues for road building to the
amount of $17,9jC,OOO. These bond
issues were distributed by States as
follows: Texas, $5,OOO,OOO; Tennessee,
81, O22 900; Georgia, $2,11O,000; Okla
homa. $l,75O,OOO; North Carolina, ST.
$4,000; Florida, $1,6OO,0OO Virginia,
81 1876 900; Alabama, $S5O,OOO; Mississip
pi, $4,000; Louisiana, S29S, 900; West
Virginia, $4,000.
In the period named no amounts
whatever were voted in the States of
Kentucky, Arkansas, Maryland and
South Carolina. About the best that
Mr.. Dave could say of Kentucky was
that while there had been "a curious
condition of lethargy'' there was
nevertheless "a stir of feeling" which
promised results, and that Kentucky
can be depended upon to bring about
change. The adoption of the good
roads amendment at the recent cleo
ton and the pending bills in the
Legislature for putting its provisions
into effect are hopeful indications
that the change will come rapidly.

NEGRO 0uSted From Council.

Shelbyville, KY, Jan. 15.-The new
City Council sprung a surprise last
night when it ousted T. S. Baxter, the
negroCouncllman from the Sixth ward
Baxter had been a member of the
Council for eighteen years, and numer
GUS plans had been attempted to get
rid of him. Two weeks ago an ordi-
nance was introduced abolishing the
Sixth ward, in which Baxter resides.
by adding the territory to the Fourth
and Fifth wards. A new Sixth ward
was created from territory that was
heretofore embraced in theFourth and
Fifth wards.
Last night the ordinance became eff
fective, and when Baxter showed up
at the meeting he was advised that he
was no longer a member of the board.
The Council then selected c. p. Hall,
a prominent coal and lumberman, as
the member of the board TO represent
the Sixth ward until the next regular
election.
The Sixth ward, as it was formerly,
embraced practically all the negroes
in the city, and by adding it to the
Fourth and Fifth wards it makes both
of those wards Republican. This will
be overcome, those interested claim,
by changing the wards back as they
were just before the election for CouI-
cilmen is held, two years hence.

That the tobacco organizations now

indicted by the Government for being
organizations In restraint Of trade, was
the Startling information brought from
Frankfort by s. B. Robertson. of Cal
hoon, State Secretary of the American
Society of Equity. Mr.. Robertson says
that a determined fight must be made
to prevent the dissolution of all the
tobacco organizations.
Heretofore the Governments threats
have been interpreted as having refer

1t is now claimed that the Burley so

eminent spies have been in this vfcinf-
ty secretly investigating conditions and
have reported on the organizations in

country. They are threatened with
indictment for alleged violation of the

Secretary Robertson stated while in
Owensboro Saturday that it is his
opinion that an earnest attempt viii
be made to dissolve all the local or
CARNATIONS. He added that he had
an interview with Congressman Camp
bell Cantrill, president of the A. 5. Of
E. in Kentucky, and Mr.. Cantrill
stated that he had been before the
United States Attorney General in an
effort to prevent indictment against
the Equity society, but had been in
formed that the Attorney General
couldn't promise him anything except
another hearing before action is
taken.
Squire Thornt Goode, Of Mclean
county, asserted in an open meeting
Saturday that the farmers can organ

as the bone and sinew of the land, tn
farmers will not be bothered If they
make a determined stand.

BurIey Society Played.

Washington, Jan. 51.-The Washing
ton newspaper which attacked "The
Turkey Trust in Kentucky says-to-
day editorially:
THE Burnley Tobacco Society is as
vicious combination in restraint of
trade as our country has produced. 1t
has not hesitated TO commit murder
and arson to accomplish its ends.
Perhaps good way to settle the
thing would be for the courts TO
dissolve and keep dissolved both the
tobacco trust and the society. Ger
tainly both are in restraint of trade,
and the society lis in restraint of
liberty and In defiance of law also"

LIFE SENTENCE
FOR CLAY SMITH
For Brutal Murder of His
Father-in-Law.
END OF AN AWFUL TRAGEDY
That Shocked All Muhlenberg
COunty-Girl Made
a Confession.

Greenville, KY, Jan. 15.-Clay
Smith, aged twenty-six, was to-day
sentenced to a life Imprisonment in
the penitentiary, for the murder OF
his father-in-law. Nose Kimmell
aged sixty, the jury returning a YER
dict at 10:45 o'clock this morning
after having considered the case
since o'clock Thursday afternoon.
Smith, who had been In Jail at
Greenville, was removed to Madison
vile this afternoon until the case is
settled, as the attorneys for the de-
tense announced that an appeal
would be taken. The officials remoy'
ed the prisoner on account Of the
feeling against him.
The murder of Kimmell created
great excitement in this county ano
Bessie Kimmell, a daughter of the
murdered man and sister of Smiths
wife, was indicted jointly with Smith
by the grand jury, but her confession
later caused her dismissal. KimmeD
was murdered about $3.50 o'clock on
the morning of May II, last year
while asleep in his home.
According to Bessie Kimmell, the
fifteen-year-old daughter, a horrible
story was told regarding the conduct
of Smith. She made a confession OF
the entire work of Smith after she
was confined in the jail for while.
Shortly after the murder letters
We're found written to the girl by
Smith in which he threatened her II
she I'D not kill her father, and these
letters resulted in the arrest of both.
The girl stated that Smith was re-
sponsible for her delicate condition
and feared that her father would kill
him. He then urged the girl to kill
her father, claiming that it was the
only way out of the affair She re-
fused and finally Smith told her that
one of the three had TO die. Failing
in using the girl for his purpose he
went there on the morning of May
II and killed Kimmell.
About four years ago Smith mar
ried the sixteen-year-old daughter of
Kimmell and one child was born
about three years ago. A second
child was born while Smith was be-
ing tried. Smiths wife is living
with her father-in-law, Arnius Smith,
and Bessie is living with her brother,
William Kimmell, at Greenville.

OBITUARY.

Benedict Emch, son of John and
Mariah Emch, was born in Switzer-
land Lutersville, Canton Salotharn,
Feb. 1S, 1S45, and died April 80, 1910.
He came to this country with his
parents in 1916 and settled in Wood
vile, Sandusky county, Ohio. Here he
lived and grew up, working on the
farm and afterward working at the
carpenter trade. He enlisted in the
army in the 16 Regiment, Co. |, o. V.
l., in 1862, and served till the close
of the war, having marched with
Sherman to the Sea and fought in
great many of the battles in that
campaign, and was in the Grand Re-
view at Washington. Having receiv-
ed an honorable discharge May 29,
1865, he came home and engaged
again in farming. He was married to
Miss Laura Van Camp, August 4,
1869, in Stoney Ridge, Ohio, and
moved to the farm where now stands

Look to thine armor we'll!
Thine the one panoply no blow that
fears;
Ours is the day of rusted swords and
shields,
OF loosened helmets and broken
spears.
Say not the fight is long

DER;
No second warfare mars thy victory,
And the one triumph is for evermore.

There is an interesting rumor to
the effect that when Mr.. Roosevelt
returns to America it will be to
found great seat of learning or
university at Washington with al
most unlimited capital. 1t is even
said that this matter was planned
and partly arranged before he left
this country on his great hunting
trip. 1t is said that Andrew Carnegie
will head the subscribers to this in
stitution of learning with gift
amounting to several millions and
that other multi-millionaires will put
their names to the paper with dona-
tions involving seven figures. Mr..
Carnegie has just started across the
Atlantic to spend his summer at his
Scottish CASTLE Skibo. He will doubt
less meet the ex-President, who in a
week or ten days will be in England.
The ex-President has lived at Wash
ington off and on probably longer
than in any other part of the coun'
try, and it is here that his influence
would be greatest and most widely
pervasive, for nowhere else in this
part of the world would he come sc
closely in contact with public men,
and nowhere else would his world
wide popularity be so effectively felt

distinctively teacher and preacher
than statesman, or rather it may be
said that he is teacher of states
manship and preacher of patriotism

er at home or abroad, he is a mis-
sionary, and whether in Cairo, Rome
or Washington, he is preaching and
teaching by word and by example.

LOSE FIRST GAME.

On Saturday last a team represent
ing East Toledo High school, (not
saying they were from East Toledo
journeyed to Perrysburg to clash
with our High school. Finkbeiner,
the Perrysburg manager, didn't play
because the doctor said he had the
measles. Pretty hard for Don, but
sickness generally goes ahead Of base
ball. Bryant and Hartshorn were
also missing, leaving our boys pret-
ty badly crippled. But the game was
started, and before many innings the
visitors knew they were up against
it. The game started pretty well, but
the home team lost their nerve for
one inning and allowed the visitors
to pile up five runs. Three more
runs in the ninth. All of the runs
were the result of errors, which were
generally excusable. The game
should have been an easy victory for
the home team. Zachman, the Per-
rysburg finger, was invincible, allow
ing out four clean hits and striking
out 13 men. With a bit of good luck
and little better fielding he would
have won the game.
The boys take their defeat very
bravely and are working hard to win
next Saturday.
The Segurs are booked for Satur-
day. The Segurs captured the foot
ball game last fall and our boys are
determined to beat them. Come to
the game. Admission Is cents.

LEGISLATIVE TIMBER.

One of the most important ques-
tions we have before us in the selec-
tion of two Representatives next
Tuesday at the primaries.
Old Wood county is one of the
largest an most progressive coun-
ties in the state. Each session of
the legislature sees the enactment of
many laws in which this county is
vitally interested and it is most i'm
portant to us as citizens and tax
payers that we be well represented.
The men for whom we cast our bal
lots should be men who understand
the needs of our county, both in the
country and in the villages, and
should be men whose honesty and in
tegrity is unquestioned, and who are
not bound by any promises OF
pledges to any person or interests oi
to any candidate.
Among the candidates whose names
are before us, one man stands out
prominently. That man Is Edward
M. Fries, who was first a successful
farmer of Bloom township, later one
of the leading attorneys of Woot
county and who has recently com
pleted a five-year term as Judge o
the Court of Common Pleas.
His public and private life hai
we'll fitted him to represent the peO
pie of Wood county and to guar'
their interests, and the voter VIII,
puts an x In front of the name o
Edward M. Fries at the primarie
next Tuesday can go home knowing
that in one case, at least. he mad
no mistake. Adv

The reason Perrysburg Republi-
cans have been successful in securing
county offices is largely due to the
fact that they have stood solidly for
their home candidates, and, win or
lose, they never got sulky and bolt

sary to give candidate to Perrys-
burg to keep the Republicans in line
they are always in line-and every
