 FAIR SETTLERS Charges Them With De- frauding Boys by Games
 of Chance

Deputy Sheriffs Helton, Jordan, Harts- field. Steele. Bonner and Rape, under the direction of Sheriff Walter K. McAdory, yesterday afternoon arrested IA conces- sionists at the fair grounds for running alleged games of chance. Thursday two were arrested, making the total 16 They arc charged with taking the money of the people on games of chance and not giving value received for the money in vested.
 The names of those arrested are C. Manfee, Walter Belboun, s. H. Robinson, Robert Dempster, Will Dwyer. H. D. Bunta, H. M. Sotpade, B. B. Leboran, F. Cratic, s. A. Sterum, Charles Yer million, Leo Gleachaul, Mrs. Charles Strickler, Mrs. Louis J. Heath, William J. Bowman and George Gordan. num- Der of them were discharged by paying the costs of the court while others are being held for further investigation.
 A committee from the fair association. composed of John L. Parker. M. V. Jo- scph and c. B. Rodgers. waited upon Sheriff McAdory yesterday afternoon to see If something could not be done to satisfy the law. The men arrested, after paying the costs of the procedure, were released and allowed to reopen their games, but with the distinct understand ing that they were to give value received for the money spent.
 Sheriff McAdory stated that some of them were trying to evade the law by giving worthless souvenirs for money spent with them. The souvenirs In most cases, stated the sheriff, would not amount to over or cents. But now they must give 10 cents value for 10 cents spent and so on.
 q have no hard feelings for anyone connected with the occurrence of this aft ernoon," stated Sheriff McAdory, but when complaint Is made to me that young boys of tender years are per mitted to stand up there In the way they have been doing throwing their money away on game of chance, re- ceiving nothing in return, 1t is time for me to act. Many complaints of this kind from the parents of young boys caused me to take this action. They must give value received for the money spent or go to jail. If the law is not lived up to hereafter, the same procedure will be repeated"

Resolutions OF Respect.

Whereas, it has pleased our Divine
Commander to call from the war
fare of this world to the peace and
Joy of our eternal world, Comrade
l.. &. Chatham, therefore be it
Resolved, by Joe Paxton Post,
G.. \. r., of Greenville Ky, that
we give expression to our loss of a
faithful comrade and officer, who in
times of war was brave and faithful
in discharge of his duties, thoughtful
and considerate of his men, and fear
less of the enemy. In the walks OF
peace he was a quiet, exemplary CT
tizen, in the avenues of business he
was an upright, honorable member,
and in his home he was faithful, sus-
tanning and commendable. Our post
has lost a faithful member, and our
rapidly lessening circle has again
been reduced by his preferred call
to higher duties.
His family has our most sincere
sympathy, and in this, their deepest
sorrow, we join.
He sleepeth, and on that glorious
morn when all shall rise, we hope to
join him in that bright sphere where
true hearts and kindly souls shall
enter upon an eternal existence of
bliss.
1t is our desire that these express
sions be published in the newspapers
OF the county, and that a copy be
supplied to the family.

Promoting The GOOd Roads Cause In
The South.

In manifestation of the keen practi-
cal interest it has long had in every
movement likely TO conduce to the
material advancement Of the section
which it serves, the Southern Rail
way started this week from Mobile,
Ala, its special good-roads train for
a hvc-months' trip through Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Miss
issippi, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Tennessee, Virginia and South
ern Illinois and Indiana. The train
is equipped with working models run
by electricity Of improved road
building machinery and enlarged
photographs of tine highways in DIFF
ferent parts of the world, and at the
many stops it will make lectures, H.
lustrated by stereoptcon views, Will
be given by experts In road building.
Cooperating with the Southern Rail
way in this practical educational
campaign are officials af the public
roads office of the National Depart
ment of Agriculture and of the
American Association for Highway
improvement.
As emphasized by Mr.. NJ. v.
Richards of the land and industrial
department of the Soutern Railway,
this comprehensive undertaking rec
ognizes the fact that good roads are
the best feeders of the railroads and
arc important factors in the develop
ment of the South. Good roads
mean good churches and good
schools, ,oge her with good facilities
for neIghborhood intercourse, and
consequently they are among the
best sorts of immigration agencies.
The home seeker, everything else
beng equal, is pretty sure to be IN
fluenced for or against locality by
the character of its roads. The
farmers are coming to understand
b.tter and better that good roaCs in
crease the value of their lands, ir
reducing the cost of getting their
products to market and aiding then
in diversifying then agriculture.
Good roads assure 4 reasonable
amount of regularity IN frelgh
service, aud thus give the railroads
i basis for provisions for handling
il promptly. Good roads arc savers
Of time, trouble and money, and II

Something like 500, 900 visitors are
expected at the coronation of King
George Y, and It's estimated that on
average they will each expend $500;
it is assumed, therefore, that London
will be the richer after the event by
$50, 600, 900, or thereabouts. Not
a little of this money will consist OF
good American dollars. The ship
loads Of travellers en- route across the
Atlantic for the occasion and the still
larger shipioadS booked to 60 in the
near future testify 10 the tact that
there is a good deal of rampant toad
ylsm in this land of freedom and de-
mocratic equality. As for the cal
culations of profits made in behalf OF
the London tradesmen, they have a
familiar sound. Many American
and some foreign cities that have
been the scenes of big shows have
found out that they counted chickens

VERY HEAVY.
Inefficient TRAIN SERVICE
DETRIMfN1 TO EAST COAST,
MIAMI PAPER SAYS THERE WILL
BE CLAIMS FOR LOSS AND
DAMAGE AGAINST RAILROAD
COMPANY

because OF the lnerllcf0nt TRAIN
service on the Florida East Coas.
railroad the shippers and growers in
Florida will lose heavily this season
and there will be claims for loss and
damage from the growers against the
East Coast railroad, according to the
following editorial from the Miami
Metropolis:
'The congested condition OF traffic
on the Florida East Coast railway is
causing the railroad officials trouble;
it is causing the train hands and
yard masters and dispatchers trouble,
and besides all these it is causing the
shippers of this section both trouble
and loss. The railroad company is
certain to be compelled to Fay many
claims for loss and damage to the
growers. The condition is unfortu-
nate. 1t is unfortunate for the rail-
road. but it is more unfortunate for
the people. 1t is quite useless to
dwell at this time upon the cause for
this condition. The railroad O:ficia s
should know better than anybody the
volume of business to expect; it is
their especial business to gather such
information SO that preparations can
be made for it. There can be no
question that somebody b.urdered, or
that somebody failed to perform in ac-
cordance with the demands. 1t is as
| sumed that the railroad officials are
doing all that can be done at this
| time to give prompt movement to
the shipments from this section,
which are nearly all Of the perish
able kind. But the best efforts that
! can be made at this tardy moment
will not save the situation. The
growers are suffering both from the
failure to receive crate materials and
from the lack of cars to load their
shipments and the delay in transpor-
tatiCn.
The lesson from the experiences
of this season is obvious. The traffic
has Outgrown the facilities of the
railroad for handling; either that, OF
lHeTe is DdQ management. In ertnt
case, the condition is such as to war
rant an investigation by the railroad
commission. The effect of the ia
ure of the railroad company to per
form its obligations to the public il
to discourage industry and put Z
damper upon development We be
! Eeve that even the officials of the
