PROGRESS IN HARLAN
The Special Correspondent Of the
Citizen Tells Of Great Things Going
on in Harlan County-Berea Men
and Women at the Front.

A delightful visit with our friends
In Evarts. KY. and Harlan, Ky, was
made possible through the courteous
invitation OF Miss Collette and Rev.
George Adkins, pastor of that place,
to be present and take part in a Sun
day School convention. Mrs. Taylor
and | left Berea on a beautiful In
dian summer afternoon. Dec. LIST,
making direct connection at Corbin,
reaching Pineville at s o'clock D. IN.
where we remained over night. Az
ter supper the Misses Johnson, sis
ters Of our Mrs. James. p. Faulkner,
called and insisted on our going a.
round to their home where we spent
a pleasant evening.
Pineville Is picturesquely located
In a nest Of mountains much higher
than our Berea mountains. The moon
reflected in the silvery quiet water
of the Cumberland river. winding
through the entire length OF the
town, made a picture never to be for
gotten. Early Saturday we started
up the new line railroad built by 7.
J. Asher toward Harlan town. The
road Is now leased by the l.. and N.
and will doubtless become the main
line through to Florida, via Appala-
CHA, thus cutting off the long TRAN
gle from Corbin to Knoxville. We
met on the train many OF our regular
guests at Boone Tavern and several
former students al Berea.
Mr.. Cam Lewis, a one time student
here and now a prosperous banker
and merchant. introduced US to May
Harlan friends on the train and point
ed out with pride his beautiful new
built on the hillside over
looking Harlan town. He told US OF
Prof. Dizney's great success as prin-
cipal OF the county high school at
Harlan and how a new building was
to be erected next year at cost Of
s25. 900. The ride was all too short
Just as we stepped out fine look
Ing young fellow called out. "Howdy,
Professor Taylor. how are all the
fellows down at Berea? Tell them you
saw me-" And before l had time to
get his name he was gone. At the
depot We were greeted by Prof. Dig
ney and Mr.. Campbell Ball. whose
wife was formerly Miss Laura Creech

jailed for q few minutes at their
new home and afterwards

Mr.. Hitchcock's administration began
two years ago with the largest deficit
on record. $17.479,77O. This has all
been wiped out and a small surplus is
left. The postal savings bank has
proved success and plans are being
made to secure parcel post within a
year.

fifty widows and three times as many
orphans.

ford WinsOr offered an amendIneht
that the time be made so years and
various other proposals were submitted
and the proposition, which IN the De

was laughed to death one OF the most
serious supporters Of the resolution
was Alfred Franklin, a Maricopa coun-
ty delegate.
It is rather interesting to note how
lightly that matter has weighed on
the consciences Of the DEMOCRATIC
delegates. AS a matter Of fact II would
seem that the Democratic delegates TO
the convention there developed thirst
for office that nothing can assuage,:
Their taste runs largely to state ana
legislative jobs.

was president Of the convention. IS the
Democratic candidate for governor.

defeated for the conventions presi-

cratic nomination for congress, but

ANY MONEY TO
LOAN LIGHTFOOT?
He Needs $4,000 to Run
His Department For
Another Year

Austin, Tex, Dec. How to run
the legal department Of the state of
Texas on nothing year is a problem
which J. P. LightfOot is facing. Mr.
Lightfoot told the legislature that 1t
would take $4,000 to run his DEPART
ment two years. The legislature
thought he knew what he was talking
about and gave him what he asked
Mr.. LightfOot has eXtravagant ideas in
the matter Of the expenses Of the at
tOrney generals department. In the
days OF Hogg and CClbersOn the appro-
priations for the attorney general were
only $4,000 to $4,000 annually, argued
Mr.. Colquitt. That ought to be enough
now. So he used his blue pencil on
the $4,000 appropriation to run the
year. The governor took the view that
the remaining $4,000 could be spread
over the two years.
The question was taken before the
state supreme court and a decision
rendered, holding that the appropria-
ton Of S41, 900 for the first year stands
but the second years item was wiped
out by the veto The $4,000 cannot be
spread over tRs two years the court
says. Neither can a deficiency be Gre
ated for the second year. The court re-
fused the application of Mr. LightfOot
for a rehearing Of the case. The decis-
ion was in part a victory for the gov
ernOr and in part for the attorney gem
eral.
Governor COlquitt says that he now
has Mr.. LightfOot where he wants him.
He Will soon be eating out Of nv
hand" he told some Of his friends.
Mr.. LightfoOt says he viii never go
to COlquitt for cent of money to run
the attorney generals department the
second year.
Il want to say further that If the
governor or anyone else thinks I am
going to shut up shop when the apprO-
priation for the first year is exhausted
he will find himself mistaken" con-
tinued the attorney general.

UNSAFE radicaltsm were founded On
principles that he had sponsored 10 or

A man travelling westward on a
through express, one day last week,
left his seat in the crowded dining
car just after he had ordered his
luncheon. He went to get something
he had forgotten in the Pullman.
When he returned, in spite of the
fact that he left a magazine on the
chair in the diner, he found a hand
somely dressed woman in his place.
He protested with all the politeness
he could muster, but the woman
turned on him with flashing eyes,

IF you were the directors only wife
should still ask for my chair. -

John VI. feeling, Former DEBORAH
Boy, Will Manage Hotel at
Pierre, S. ID.

The following reference to John
NJ. feeling in the Merrill, Wis, Daily
Herald of last week shows the es-
TEEN and high regard in which Mr.
feeling who is well known here is
held by the citizens of Merrill, Wis
AT the melting of the directors OF
the Hotel Lincoln, yesterday after
noon, the resignation of Manager j.
Nj. feeling was accepted. He was
asked, however, to remain until Mon
day evening and in the meantime to
reconsider his resignation and the
possible purchasing or leasing of the
hotel. The directors who were
present at the meeting were, Mes
srs. julie Thielman, S. Heineman, w.
F. Peterman, w. G. Smith and ]. S.
York The board then took inventory
of the hotel and will endeavor to
make some arrangements to secure
another manager or possibly to rent
the hotel.
When asked regarding his resigna-
ton, Manager J. NJ. feeling said to-
day that he very much appreciated
the offer made him by the board, but
that the offer made him by the pro-
prietors of the st. Charles hotel at
Pierre, S. D., was such that he
could not we'll consider the local
field any longer.
Mr.. feeling expects to leave Mer-
rill sometime the fore part OF next
week. He leaves Merrill with an excel
lent record as a hotel manager. He
became day clerk of Hotel Lincoln
in 1900, one month after the erection
of the hotel. One year later, he as
sumed the management and while
other hotels have been erected since
in the city, the Lincoln has always
held an enviable reputation for ex-
cellent service and up-to-dateness.
Mr.. feeling has also been a men,
Der of the city council for four years
acting as purchasing agent for the
city three years. He was manager
of the Merrill base ball team for
three years and is acknowledged to
have given the city of Merrill the
best team of which Merrill has ever
boosted. He was also supeintend-
ent of speed at the Lincoln County
fair for five or six years and acted
as assistant postmaster for nearly
a year. During all these labors, he
has shown himself an exemplary
citizen. Previous to his residence in
Merrill he was hotel clerk at De-
corah, Iowa.

friends in wishing him much success
in his new position as manager OF

KILLED IN RUNAWAY.
julius Olson Run Over by Loaded
Wagon i'm Junius.

The following article concerning
the death of julius Olson, a nephew
of Gilbert Horgen, of Winneshiek
county, is taken from the Madison,
South Dakota Weekly Seminal.
A phone message from Junius
brings the shocking information that
Julius Olson, second son of County
Commissioner James Olson, was
killed in a runaway in Junius this
forenoon. The unfortunate man had
driven to Junius for a load of road
culvert. After loading the culvert
his team became frightened and ran
away and the wagon passed over his
body crushing his life out almost in
stantly. The deceased leaves a
young wife and children.
