ENTHUSIASTIC FOR ADDAMS
Rush c. Watkins Says The Pro-
greSSiye Element is Flock
ing to Him.

Mr.. Rush G. Watkins. of Louisville,
was.in Hopkinsville one day this week
on business trip. Mr.. Watkins is
enthusiastically for Addams for gov
ernor, and his prediction is that he
will sweep the State. Mr.. Watkins
is one of our progressive young men
and is largely interested in the farm
ing interests Of Kentucky. in fact,
he is the largest handler Of Kentucky
farms in the State, and he says that
we must have young progressive
man for Governor who will help
to lead the young men Of our State.
while Mr.. Adams is not great
orator." he said, NOR is he as well
known as his opponent, still he is a
successful, progressive, intelligent,
honest business man, with everything
these words imply, and his moral in
fuence on the young, progressive
element over the State of Kentucky
will be tremendously felt.
We need good roads, good schools,
and we need encouragement. in up
building rural districts of Kentucky.
We should have large production
of farm products in this State, we
should bend every energy to prevent
the young men from leaving the
State, we should use our every in
fiuence to keep the intelligent, en-
ergetic young men at home to help
build up the country, and shape
things so that they will be successful
and prosperous in their vocation as
farmers. In order to do this we
must have progressive State ad
ministration headed by a man who
has future before him.
We all respect the venerable old
gentleman who is in the race for the
nomination for Governor. but it has
come to point when we must use
every effort at our command to de.
velop our resources in the State"

account of great play made there
Wednesday:

the way, slammed home run earlier
in the game. Cfroerer tapped a foul
to the left of third base. 1t was
about thirty feet to the side, and all
who saw Dowell begin chasing for it
deemed him very foolish for at
tempting it.
Dowell ran like wild man, though,
and came Up with the ball just be.

Dowell speared it. but his momen-
tum was so great that he had to
continue going.
In front of him were two horses.
their heads nearly together. but just
far enough apart to permit Dowell
to slide through.
Still unable to slow up. Doweil had
to jump the fence lining the race
course before being able to stop.
The feat caused the crowd to split
the air with noise of approval, and
as the third station tender walked
toward the players corner he had to
take off his hat to his admirers.
The game was an suspicious open

KEEP THESE THINGS IN MIND
Some Of the superstitions That Are
Prevalent Among the People
Of Today.

It is said that if black cat fol-
lows you it betokens good luck, but
if cat leaves the house which has
been its home some misfortune is
about to happen. If you put on your
stocking or sock the wrong side out
it is lucky, but if you change it to
the right side nothing will come of
it. If, when unfolding clean linen,
you find a diamond shaped crease,
that is a sign of death within a year
Meyer let a child look into a mirror
till it is a twelvemonth old or i'll
luck will follow it through life. II
yoIT apron strings become united
your lover or husband is thinking Of
you. If you cannot get a fire to
burn your sweetheart is in a bad
temper. To stumble on going up
stairs is a sure sign of a wedding /;
two spoons in one saucer the same.
If you cut a baby's nails instead Of
biting them it will be light fingered.
To open an umbrella in a house is a
portent of misfortune; to drop one
a disappointment; but if any one
else picks it up the disappointment
passes on to him or her. If a piece
of cotton gets into a girls hair it is
sure sign of a letter; but the cot
ton must not be removed by a stran-
ger or no letter will come.

BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT.

A Socialist Woman's club in In

boy scout idea as one Of the aids 10

club has not looked very seriously
into the subject, as the boy scout has
other things to do besides bearing.
arms. He is pledged to maintain the
good order Of the country and to-
take the greatest pride in his own,
part Of it. Moreover, in matters Of
personal import he is taught to keep
himself clean and honest that he,

CIRCUIT COURT
Commonwealth Matters Are
Still Receiving Attention.

On peremptory instructions from
Judge Hanbery the indictments
against Luther Hayden and others,
found at the last term Of court, were
dismissed. The indictments grew
out of the financial troubles Of the

cash orders for coal were not filed.
There was an unavoidable delay in
shipping the coal, but the troubles
have been, or will be. adjusted to the
satisfaction Of all concerned.
But little has been done this week.
The failure to try the Acme Mills
cases left the docket unsettled.

he. ''That is most interesting and

turned to business. "Give me two
