more like the Confederate grey than
the Confederate grey is like the Fede-

Capital Punishment.

Down IN the big gray building
at Eddvville, sOmstimes referred
to as the "Castle on the Cumber-
land" but officially designated
as the Kentucky Branch Peni-
Tertiary, eight men are awaiting
electrOcution.
From time immemorial rural
debating societies have discussed
the question, "Should Capital
Punishment be Abolished?"
There are many persons who be-
lieve the question should be
answered in the affirmative. but
the laws of Kentucky prescribe
the death penalty for certain Of
lenses, and about all the conces-
sion that has been made to ad
verse sentiment on the subiuct
has been the substitution of the
electric chair for the gallows.
All executions now take place at
the Branch Penitentiary, and
with the advent of the electric
chair Kentucky juries seem less
squeamish about returning the
death verdict. In addition to
the eight prisoners now at Eddy.
vile under sentence of electrocu-
ton, five others, more recently
convicted, are expected to ar.
rive shortly, and the chief cleo
triclan is anticipating a busy
season in convention with the
unpleasant duties attendant up
on his position.
When Kentucky used to hang
criminals the task of manipulate.
ing the crude machinery Of the
scaffold fell to the Sheriff or one
of his deputies. The Sheriff has
been relieved of this grewsome
duty. He delivers the condemn
ed man at Eddyville and there
his responsibility ends. The e.
Electrician does the rest, provided
there is no message of executive

Bridge across Brush Creek.

a. &. Barnes is getting up
money to build by private sub.
scriptiOn a bridge across the
mouth of Brush creek. Brod-
head Garrett has donated all the
necessary lumber. The hill on
the opposite side from the mill
will have to be cut down six or
seven feet. This will be done
and the cutoff road from the
Hoskin place will be improved TO
meet the demands of the people
living in that neighborhood. As
it is now when the river is up
persons living just across the
river must travel around by
Powells Valley to get over the
bridge to town. Thus they are
forced to travel three or four
miles to get here when they
could come with One-fourth the
distance. The new road will
greatly relieve the situation.

Powell County Confederates.

The writer of this article at
tended County Court at Stanton,
June Bird, 1912, and went TO
Geo. Stevens for dinner. He
there met up with several of the
old Confederate soldiers. A.
Rucker, aged Il years; Nick
French, Il; Moses Morton, TO-;
Hibird Powell, 73; William Har-
rison, p; S. ID. Tyree, 73. This
many ate dinner with the gener-
Gus taller of Powell and he did
not charge them one cent. The
other soldiers that were before
the court were John Holder,
Fulton Hensley and Poke Lewis,
and they would have Jared as
well as the others if they had
stayed to dinner. Nick French,
William Morton and S. ID. Tvree
all have scars to show that they
were wounded. "Uncle" A.
Rucker says he was wounded
twice, but not very dangerously.
The old fellows all have wives
except VIM. Morton, s. ID. Tyree
and William Harrison. Fulton
Hensley is an old bachelor but is
still looking for a wife. The
old fellows are all getting feeble
and will not get to ENJOY their
pensions many years, but the
writer is glad to know that the
State of Kentucky has come to
the aid of these old veterans who
fought and bled for what they
thought was right, and glad that
the old prejudice between the
old soldiers is dying out and no
one says nay to the old Confeder-
sates being pensioned. T. J. F.

What the Users Say.

The Times has frequently agi-
tated the use of the King road
drag on the Powell county roads.
How it works in some other parts
of the States is described by the
following article from the Padu-
cab Sun:
The Board of Publis Works is
in high spirits over the remark
able results of the King drag on
Mill street, in Mechanicsburg.
The street, which was in bad
condition., was dragged, and is
said to be one Of the prettiest in
the city. Neither the city nor
the county lays claim to the
street, and the. Board of Works
is now claiming it. President
o. r. Kidd, of the board, says
there is nothing like the King
drag, and believes the farmers
will take it up Immediately.
