Jackson Morris, who was pri'

Kentucky, but is now practicing
law at Pir.eville, KY, writes the
Bristol Board of Trade cOnce~ n
ing the prospects for Kentucky
aid in building the proposed high
way between this city and Lex
ington, KY. He says that the
people of his county (BelD will
vote on proposition to issue $500,
600 in road bonds, on March 4
next. He believes that the propo
sItIon will carry, and that in that
event there will be no doubt
about available funds for Bell
county's part in reviving the old
Wilderness" road, which would
be a link in the proposed highway
Bell county would then build
twenty of Io2 miles between
Cumberland Gap aud Crab Orch
ard which would carry the road TO
the network of existing roads in
Central kentucky. Knox county
Mr.. Morris says will vote soon
aiteI Bell on the bond issue, and
the only remaining counties on
the route 10 Lexington will be
Laurel and Reckcastle.
The Virginians are taking up
the matter of building their link
in the proposing road, and Scot;
county is soon TO hold a bond
election. Wise and Lee counties
have already issued bonds and
others will be voted.

NEW YORK SETS A GOOD
EXAMPLE.

A majority of over four hundred
thousand of the people of the
State of New York have authorized
a second bond issue of fifty million
dollars for the eXtention of good
roads throughout the State. Fifty
million has already been spent by
the Sta,e of New York, and a
second fifty Is now authorized by
an overwhelming majority of the
voters, making an aggregate OF one
hundred million to be expended
by the State in addition to at least
an equal amount spent In the
various subdivisions OF the State
And no. wiser expenditure will
ever be made by the people of the
Empire State than this hundred
millions in the construction OF
good roads throughout every part
of the State. 81 -.
New York is only one of
Number of States that
has recognized not only the
wisdom but the necessity for the
construction of gooG roads through
STATE aid. Those states that have
followed, and are following this
course. are the ones that are in

ton and in wealth 1t We're we'll

Do the mothers of children
force their babies to work at night
because they wish to See them
suffer? Do they like to whip
their children to keep them at
their toll when they should be
asleep? No. 1t is simply not to
be belle ed. The mothers heart
Is still the resting place of love
and tenderness, in the ghetto as
well as everywhere else. 1t is
the mothers instinct to guard
we'll the slumber of her child
These mothers of the Stun are
not by nature less kind than
others. They are themselves the
victims of the system of toll which
they force upon their children.
They must work until midnight,
ard their children must work

TRF long talked of parcel post
goes into effect on the first dav Of
January. There is wide diversity
OF opinion as TO its effect. whether
it will be good or bad, each phase /
of the case having its champions. I
The effect upon this immediate ,
community is as Yet problematical
it is yet to be seen whether or
not our people will be extensive
patrons of the new system of
mail express. One thing however
is certain about the institution of
the parcels post, that is that it will
make great inroads upon the
business of the Express companies
will force them to meet their prices
or surrender the business, will en-
abls the people who are compelled
to have small packages of mel chan
disc transported to and from a
distance, to do so at a nominal
cost. Express companies are
among the most grasping and
mercenary of all corporations;
they charge outrageous prices and
unlike the railrt ads they are of
no monetary value to the COM
munity with which they do bust
ness. They have no tangible
property subject to taxation out
side of the cities, and very little
there, their principle ; ok in trade
consisting of their messengers and
agents. They reap rich harvest
from their patrons and give
nothing in return. Upon the
whole, while the parcel post may
appear to work an injury to some
in the way of bringing com,
petition closer to them, we believe
upon the whole it will prove a
good thing.

Attempt to Break Jail.

Three white men cUnfined in the
county Jail awaiting the action of the
Bourbon county grand jury, made an
unsuccessful attempt to escape Thurs.
day evening. but their plan was upset
by Jailer Joe FarIs, who detected their
movements.
The men implicated in the plot to es-
cape are Mat Simpson, charged with
breaking into the drug store of Clarke
& Co., Cash Grove, held on larceny
charge, and Charley Leggs. who was
arrested for operating 'surethIng
game at the Bourbon Fair.
A piece of iron, which had been re-
moved from one uf the beds furnished
an implement with which the men pried
loose a large stone between the win
dowS in the large corridor to which
they had access. Evidently they had
worked upon the plan of escape at reg
ular intervals and the cutting around
the stone occupied three or four days.
Their efforts no doubt would have
been croWnedfwith success had not Jail
er Farris detected bed quilt hanging
on the wall where. the men had been at
work and on investigation found the
stone was almost ready to fall from its
position.
The opening in the wall would have
given the men access to the jail yard
and their escape could have been COM
pleted in only a short time. When
the men were questioned about the
job, and denied all knowledge Of 1t
until Leggs, weakening, told the Off
cials that Grove was responsible for
the attempted escape. After making
this admission Leggs begged to be sep
arated from Grove for fear of all at
tempt on his life.
The three prisoners were locked in
separate cells and close watch will
be kept on them in the future.
