earth to better land and our
children can look over the good
deeds we have done for such noble
and progressive young man. We
see a vacant mitch in the near future
that must be filed, and Captain
John II. Lawson is the man we
want to fill the place. Many friends
and good citizens are thinking of
asking him TO Represent us in the
newt House of Representatives.
Should he ever agree to a cept this
position, we want Knox and Whit
lev to come to the front without a
murmur and say: Captain, we are
at your right hand and will stand
by you in your undertaking.
There is not a precinct in either
Knox or Whitley but that you will
lind a relative Of our friend, Capt.
Lawson, something no other man
can say in the State of Kentucky.
We hope the good people will at
once calf upon him and insist that
he will get into the race for Repre-.
sentative in this Legislative district,
and we know that the ladies of this
community will lend us their as
sistance in giving a grand reception
in the hall OF the Lawson building.
upon mis- approval of this request
we so gratefully ask of him. Hop
ing Capt. Lawson will make the dc
cision favorable to the desires OF
his many friends who wish TO ele-
vat- him to that high position, and
that he will so express himself in
the neA- issue of The Mountain Adj
vocate, We remain his friend,

them than he (Sampson) had,
but that to show to the people OF
Whitley county how they were
both regarded and looked upon
by the citizens of their home
town where they had long since
resided, he was willing to make
the proposition to Judge Black
that he was now willing for both
OF them TO come to Barbourville
and line up all the legal voters in
this primary within the cOrpo-
rate limits of that town in two
lines, letting one line stand for
Judge Black and the other for
himself (Sampson) and that if
he did not get more votes than
Judge Black in the line up, that
he would withdraw from the race
and leave Judge Black clear
track, so far as he was concerned.
Judge Sampson put the PROPOSE
tion to him straight from the
shoulder, while a hushed silence
spread itself over the entire
crowd. The question was, would
Black accept nhe proposition;
was he willing TO risk his neigh
bor., those who know him best,
to settle his fate aud fortune.
Judge Black did not accept the
proposition. His face was as
white as it will be in death, and
we'll might it have turned white
as in death, because his failure
to accept the challenge OF the
man who he has maligned, to let
their neighbors say who stood
best in their estimation, was a
body blow in the minds of the
citizens Of Whitley county from
which Judge Black can not hope
to recover. Actions speak loud

living at distance Of twenty miles,
than to another living six or eight
miles from town il dependent upon
the ordinary horse and truck. The
annihilation Of space for the farmer
is thus big consideration. IL en-
ables him to deliver produce in per-
son at the markets and get back to
the farm early in the forenoon. In
addition to this he has the pleasure
Of a spin, and something to look
forward to on Sundays when recre.
alton is in order.
In the last year the biggest puch-
asers OF auto mobiles in four Of our
Western States lived in the rural
districts or in small towns and villa.
ges About 60 per cent. of these
purchasers were farmers. or what
might be called near. farmers. In
four other Western States 40 per
nent of the buyers Of automobiles
were out-and-out farmers or stock
breeders, and 20 per cent. OF the
purchasers in five other States be-
longed to the same class. There is
little wonder that manufacturers
OF the West are designing special
machines for the farm and rural
trade.
The story is not eorfa-,'ete without
adding that nearly one nun,Ss. Il
thousand gasoline engines, ranging
in size from ia to 40 horsepower,
are annual purchased by farmers
tor use in operating about every
tong from a churn and sewing ma
chine to big threshing machines.
The gasoline engine OF small horse
power is adopted to a farm OF any
size. 1t is the only power that can
cover the whole field as we'll as the
horse. The small farmer could not
afford to own and operate steam
engine, but a chicken farmer or a
small fruit farmer can afford a ., 3
or S horsepower gasoline engine.
The wonderful hexibility of the en-
CINE thus makes it Of greatest prac.
tical value to the greatest possible
of people. In other words,
the gas engine in one form or anoth-
err is rapidly and steadily revolution
izing farm conditions from one end
of the country to the other. 1t is
not a dream OF the future, but an
actuality observable upon tens OF
of arms.-George Ethel

JOINT DEBATE

Voters.
Special to the Advocate.

] WILLIAMSBURG, NY, "o"' @c'
1911.-A spurative political die
cussion took place here today be-
tween Judge Sampson and W. X.
Black, both seeking the Repub-
lican nomination for Circuit
Judge in this district in the Re-
publican Primary to be held on
March 25th of this year.
Judge Black spoke first and
bcasted that he ought to be
elected Judge because of the
great mum Der of law suits which
he had gotten off of the docket
in Whitley county.
Judge Sampson replied that
Judge Black osght not to take
credit TO himself for the 200 eX-
plusion cases which had been got
ten off of the docket of the Whit
! ley Circuit Court since he was
Judge. Judge Sampson pointed
out that all these cases were
against the l.. d n. Railroad by
the citizens of w Whitley county by
reason of the dynamite explosion
near Jellico, Tenn, sometime
ago. and that Judge Black had
hefd' several terms of conrt with
out getting any of them off of
the docket, and THAI Judge Cor
do. a Special Judge, was emit
tied to the credit for having G0n-
solidated all of these cases and
within less than a week had
caused judgments to be render
ed against the l.. IL n. Railroad
and in behalf Of the citizens of
Whitley county for more than
one hundred thousand dollars.
Judge Sampson pointed out
that if his opponent w. r. Black,
had been as Jealous of the peo-
pies rights and their interests
as was Judge Gordon, he could
have long since accomplished for
the people as much os Judge Cor
don accomplished for them in
the short period of one week.
Judge Sampson pointed out that
Judge Black had overruled mo-
ton and had refused to let these
cases be consolidated and there
by put in shape for ready dispo-
sition. Judge Sampson put In
some telling blows when he said
in his speech that W. Il. Black
and ms law partners, James ID.
Black and Ben b. Golden, were
all lawyers for the l.. II \. Rail
road Company at the time Judge
Black was appointed Judge of
this district. That this law firm,
Judge Black and Golden are yet
lawyers for the l.. Il n. Railroad
Company, and intimated that
that might be the reason why
Judge Black had not permitted
steps to be taken in the exDlo-
sion cases which would lead to
judgments against the l.. n n.
Railroad Company and in favor
of the people.
Judge Sampson pointed out
that he had never been a corpO-
ration lawyer, and that Judge
Black had been and is still inter
csted in many suits in favor of
the Corporations.
In the course of his remarks,
Judge Black said that the peo-
pie of Knox county were with
him, and that they would not
vote for Judge sampson by reason
of his bad character, and it was
in Judge SIMPSONS reply to this
statement of Judge Black where
he scored his greatest victory.
Judge sampson said to the citi-
zens Of Whitley county that he
was a comparative stranger in
their midst; that Judge Black
was their Circuit Judge aud that
they had had an opportunity to
saa mora of him and hin. more Of
