There is so much to cover, so

difficult to make selections. The
Automobile parade on Wednes-
day was a hummer, the decora-

ladies just a bit lovelier than
usual, the Marion band at its
best, the chatfeurs careful but
enthusiastic. from this hour the
entire city was handed over to
our visitors.

D. Ward king
HERE TUESDAY.
Further Enlightens our Farmers
And Road Work on
Road Building.

d. Ward King, the celebrated
split log drag man. of Maitland,
Mo-, spoke to a large crowd here
Monday evening also Tuesday.
Mr.. King is known the country
over on account of being the
original discoverer of the split
log drag, one of the best devices
for road work in existence and
one of the simplest and easiest
of construction. He gave exhibi-
tons of the merits of his device
which attracted people for many
miles. While here Mr.. King
paid this Office a pleasant and
welcome visit.
The date of his visit was con-
fused in some way, he being ex-
pected here Monday when as a
matter of fact his contract was
for Tuesday However he gave
a splendid talk to an impromptuo
crowd at the Court House Mon
day afternoon, and again Tues
day afternoon to a much larger
crowd, also making a demorstra-
tion of the manner of using the
King Split Log Drag" This
was beneficial to our people and
we think Mr.. Kings visit Will
be the beginning of a new era in
road building in Crittenden Co.,
and that Mr.. King will be the
Muses. to lead the people out
Of the mire and mud into the
promised land of good roads at
no cost.

JUDGE J. F. Cor.
DON'S Speech
Talks fntertainingiy Monday After
noon On the King Split
Log-Road-Drag.

oIOVu, anu SldnulHB room was at
a premium.
For some reason the arrival of
Mr.. King was delayed, so our
Circuit Judge, the Hon. J. F.
Gordon. of Madisonville, who is
holding court here this week.
was prevailed on to tell the crowd
what had been done over in Hop
kins county.
Mr.. King visited us about a
year ago." said Judge Gordon,
and he reused us up and told
us about the Split Log Drag"
He gave US a practical, common
sense talk. We took hold where
he left off and now we have three
or four hundred miles of
splendid road. Roads that are
as smooth as floors and which
remain in good condition in bad
weather"
Judge Gordon was very enthu-
siastic in his description of the
beautiful boulevards produced
by the new plan of doing the
road work. He told Of his own
road out at his farm: a road he
has been dragging for consider
able period. 1t seems that Judge
Gordon himself made a King
Drag" about seven years ago
and used it on his road with sue
cess. But he could not get the
neighborhood to adopt the prac-
tice until after the King meet
ing at which the Hopkins county
Good Road Association was or
ganized. This road of his. the
Judge said, stays good all the
time and costs nothing but a lit
tie work done at the right time.
You've got lot to learn"
exclaimed Judge Gordon. when
you get onto split-log- drag. 1t
looks nice and easy when YOU
see Mr.. King stand on the drag
and drive along so smoothly.
but when you come to try it YOU
feel different" He learned to
ride the drag himself, and then
he taught his men.
The highways of Hopkins coun-
ty are divided into short sections
and a farmer is placed in charge
of each section. These sections
are from two to four miles in
length and will be shortened as
rapidly as possible. Because
the authorities agreed with Mr..
King in saying that a mile of
road is enough for one drag.
The Judge, in humorous way.
told of a meeting in one of the
magisterial districts. The log
drag was up for discussion.
Some praised it and some found
fault with it. But the discuss
ion stopped when. Mr.. Hunter,
a saw mill owner. made a speech.
Mr.. Hunter stated that he own
ed CD saw.mills, that all but
one of them had been compelled
to shut down because of the bad
roads; that the one that had con-
tinued in operation all winter
was over on the Darlington and
st. Charles road which had been
and which he had been
able TO log over right straight
along. Mr.. Hunter could haul
fifteen hundred feet. Q,500). of
lumber with one yoke over the
st. Charles road when the same
load would put the wheels in
mud up to the hub on the other
roads. This testimony closed
the controversy.
The Judge convinced the vast
audience of the practicabiiity
of the King-Split- Log Drag.

siding. The various officers filed
their reports and the grand jury
was impanneled as follows:
Omer M. Crisp, J. F. Casner,
Grover White, Robt. Gibbs, W..
D. brennan, G. w. Lawson.
Geo. R. Bibb, j. C. Kirk, Gilbert
NJ. Worley, Murray Hodge, Eura
Shewmaker, and Sam A. Snow.
Judge Gordon then proceeded
to deliver his charge to the
grand jury, which was quite a
learned and exhaustive discourse
on the supremacy of lawwhat the
grand jury must perform in en-
forcing law and protecting socie-
ty.
Ordinarily a man does not no.
tice the common duties he owes
TO society very much.
Grand Jurors are appointed to
have in view these matters.
1t is the duty of every citizen
to obey the laws. If a law is
not a good law a strict enforce
ment will induce the legislature
to repeal such a law. If good a
strict enforcement will perpet-
uate such law. Laws are inten-
eed 10 protect society from the
lawless. The man who violates
law is an enemy to society, which
must all the time be on guard
against the lawless.
The oarbarity of the former
method of in flicting the death
penalty bv hanging was so cruel,
that many persons shrank from
returning a verdict for the death
penalty, but in the electric chair
this barbarity has been done
away with, and more electrocu-
tions have been done since this
law than there were hangings in
the past fifty years.
The charge of the Judge dealt
largely with the special laws
governing ordinary violations of
law. Especially severe were
the comments of Judge Gordon
upon the violation of the law
known as destroying tobacco
plant beds. He urged the grand
jury to devote strenuous efforts
at this term to find out who are
guilty of destroying any plant
beds in this county. These vio-
laters were characterized by
Judge Gordon as selfish, mean,
low-down contemplate persons,
who ought to be put in the pen
itentiary. He has no patience
with such a man as there is no
excuse to justify man in des-
troying the chance of a mans
making a living for a year. He
has right to plant tobacco if
he wants to do so. and the man
who interferes should be in the
penitentiary. II do not know" "
said Judge Gordon. IF there is
any organization back of this,
but if there is go after this or
ganization and put every men,
Der in the penitentiary.
The grand jury should indict
whenever the commonwealth
presents reasonable proof. That
portion of Judge Gordon's charge
relative to the enforcement of
the liquor law forceful and most
interesting. He stated that the
of this law depend
ed on the sentiment of the peo-
pie in a community.
1t has only been thirty years
since the people have been think
ing on this subject and this is
the reason there are some CON-
where the sentiment is
not in favor of the enforcement.
But if the same progress be

Mr.. Ralph Bingham and Mrs.

a pleasant evening was the re-

quently accepted and the weeks

made in the next thirty years
there will not oe a drop of liquor
manufactured in the country
except for art and science. and
this will be denauured alcohol.
IF the lies told in reference
to the violation of this law were
each a pebble there would be
enough of them to pave hell from
one side to the other" was one
of the statements made by Judge
Gordon when referring to the
feeling that a man must protect
one from whom he buys whiskey
illegally.
1t is the duty of every citizen
to appear before the grard jury
when subpoened and to answer
all questions put to them truth
fully.
The Judge cautioned the grand
jury in regard to holding all pro-
ceedings as strictly secret. He
informed them that this grand
jury could not indict one of their
number, all IL being exempt no
matter what charge might be
brought before them about and
one of their number.
All Jail cases should be first
considered. Any 9 grand jurors
can return a true bill.
The virtue of our womanhood
must be protected, and the pen
alties for carnally knowing a fe.
male under16 years of age, and
for seduction, under promise of
marriage, of a femabe under 21
years of age were especially
noted by the Judge.
Murder, voluntary manslaugh-
ter, involuntary manslaughter.
malice, afore- thought, and in
fact all the degrees of the TAX
ing of human life were explained
to the jury with the penalties at
tached in each case. All per-
sons must exercise care as to
avoid the taking of human life.
Abortion in all its phases was
explained to the jury and the
penalties therefor.
Judge Gordon's charge was
instructive to all who heard it,
jurors, and lawyers as well as
others who were in the court
room. Few of our laws are un-
derstood by the massofthe public.
The reading of the docket fol-
lowed and court was opened and
in full swing before noon.
