THE LEDGER ON o'REAR

The MaysviIle Daily Ledger. lead
ing republican paper Of the Ninth
Congressional District, had this TO
say about Judge O'Rear. Cut Il
out and save 1t for reflective read
ing As to the political charges
against o'Rear. made not only by
the Public Ledger. but by Governor
Wilson. Mr.. Franks and scores Of
others. We repeat what we have
said before. that 0'Rear is unfSt TO
be elected Governor Of Kentucky ant
his very candidacy Is an insult 70
the Law abiding citizens Of old Kea-
lucky That O'Rear on the bench,
Of the highest court in the state Il.
no compliment to the voters Of his
district We furthermore say that
when Judge O'Rear debased his
high office by taking sides AGAINST
the enforcement OF the Law BY
Governor Wilson he shOald have
been inpeaehsd.
I'm all reason has there ever been
anything analogous to the conduct o
a Court OF Appeals Judge making In
flamatory speeches at a time when
sedition was applying the whip to
the backs Of tree born American
citizens. the tarch to their barns
and dwellings and murder aad in
limitation were rife in. the fairest
sections OF our Commonwealth -

Indianapolis April 13.-(Special.)-rh International executive board of the United Mine Workers of America mas adopted the following resolutions:
 Whereas. A large number of men were recently killed in mine disaster at lyan- ner mines, Alabama, the vast majority of said miners being convicts; and,
 Whereas We deeply deplore this tragic occurrence, knowing full we'll 1t could have been avoided had the state of Ala bama complied with our desire to Keep the convicts, practically all of whom are inexperienced, out of the mines, not only from humane standpoint, but because of unjust competition with free labor; and,
 Whereas, It is evident that some law makers and citizens think more of profits than of human life, being ardent sup- porters Of the system of employing con victs in mines, which action is directly responsible for this awful disaster; tnere- fore, be 1t
 Resolved, That we, the international executive board of the United Mine H'orN- CTS of America, do hereby condemn the system of employing convicts in mines, and call upon the legislature of Alabama to place upon the statute books law prohibiting such employment of convicss; and be it further
 Resolved, That we extend our heartfelt sympathy to the families of these unror- tunate victims and that copies of this res- oution be sent to the Birmingham press.

STORY OF AN ALABAMA BOY
By WALTER HARPER.

'Yes. I am going up to Birmingham and I am going to succeed"
 The boy just passed his majority who gave vent to this enthusiastic de- termination was down on his knees packing a remnant of law books into a box.
 A neighbor friends, editor of the local newspaper, had dropped in to bid him good-by and extend best wishes
 The boy was full of enthusiasm and that spirited pluck that always wins. After returning from the University Of Alabama with his degree he had been admitted to the practice of law in the little interior town where he was born and raised. He had been fairly suc- cessful for a boy % years of age and during his first year of practice but he realized that there was a limit to his opportunities at home.
 He longed for a broader field.
 The chance came at the end of his first year. A fire destroyed his of fee and practically all the books and other office equipment that he had been able to assemble.
 Now was his opportunity to make break-to make an advance of the great, teeming world beyond the hills of his native environment.
 Action followed decision quickly and in a few days Hugo L. Black had es- tablished himself as citizen of Bir mingham. He hung out his distress signal" and waited for the life savers. That was three years ago. Hugo was 22 years of age. On the 27th day of last February he was 25 years of age, unworried and able to say that he had not been swallowed in the furious vor- tex of heartless competition in the me tropolis of the south.
 He had not allowed himself to get lost in the wilderness.
 Some of his friends over at Ashland, fin Clay county, where he had been

Gadsden, April 3.-(SpeciaL )--Anna Crawford, young lady connected with q travelling show having wild west fea- lures, appeared on the streets today in the garb of a cowgirl and carrying weapons. Her appearance was for ad- vertising purposes and she attracted due attention. But the peace officers took note of her weapons and the sher- If at once placed her under arrest. Fortunately for her, she was able to make bond. and thereby escaped going to jail. She will probably be given a speedy trial.

IMPEACHMENT SET IN SUPREME COURT Effort Will Be Made May II to Dust Bullock Sheriff
 From Office

Montgomery, April 13.-(Special. )-Ar- ticles of impeachment, in which five req sons are set forth why Sheriff P. W. Jim wright of Bullock county should be busted from office, were today filed with the supreme court by the state of Alabama The only proceeding of the day was the recitation, of the charges and the fixing of May Il as the date on which formal hearing will be had
 The proceedings are the outcome of the lynching of Aberdeen Johnson, negro, in Union Springs April ?. Position of the state authorities is that the sheriff, with proper attention to his duties, could have prevented the miscarriage of justice and the ultimate mob violence.
 Lynching of the negro, in turn was the outcome of an assault which he is all legged to have made upon woman in Fike county several weeks prior to the capture of the darkey.
 Charges of neglect on the part of the sheriff were instituted by Gov. E,mmet CNeal immediately following upon the negros lynchng. Ed w. OConnor, a newspaper man of Mobile, was sent to Union Springs by the states chief execu- tive to investigate the lynching, and the charges which have been filed before the supreme court are largely based upon MT. O'Connor's findings
 The five counts set forth by the state as reason why the sheriff should be i'm peached are as follows: Q) Neglect iii that the lynching was brought about e, Grave fault on the part of Sheriff Jin- wright in the conduct of his office. (S Wilful neglect of duty. CD Incompetency. (5) Connivance with the mob, or a part of them.
 Each of thees charges was fully ex- plained by Attorney General R. C.. Brickel in his argument before the states highest tribunal.
