FUNERAL CORTEGE Is
HALTED FOR SPEEDING

New York, Nov. ga funeral
procession was halted in Lond Island
City to-day, and the chauffeur of the
automobile coach that headed it was
arrested and convicted of exceeding
the speed limit. The arrest was the
outcome of many complaints that
New York funeral professions on
the way to Calvary cemetery have
been so speedy as to endanger the
lives of persons crossing streets.
Other arrests, it was announced,
will follow, if the speed of funeral
vehicles is not slackened.
Christian Frickey, the chauffeur,
protested that a funeral should not
be stopped, but the policeman max
ing the arrest insisted that the cor
tege was making thirty-fve miles
an hour. Despite his protests and
those of the mourners in other au-
tomobiles, Frickey was taken to
court and the procession permitted
to proceed at reduced speed.

HARTFORD, KY. WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 26, 1913

States except the owner of the ne
gro, or by the legal voters of a
State and then only by adopting the
18th Amendment to the Constitu-
ton, or by the owner giving to each
negro set free paper that would
uphold such freedom.
Now it does seem that an intelli-
gent school system which proposes
to teach history, and especially
United States History, is certainly
rotten to the core, or is ignorant Of
the history of their own country,
when they allow textbooks used in
the public schools that teach such
tommy rot as that the negro was
freed by President Abraham Lin
coin, who took every opportunity to
squelch every attempt to set the ne
gro free by proclamation.
1t is true that Mr.. Lincoln did
proclaim certain slaves-or rather
slaves in certain territory-free,
but he was extremely careful to
show that it was MILITARY Me-
CESSITY to save the Union; not as
a right vested in President, but as
a military necessity by the Com
mander of all the United States
Army and Navy, and as he virtually
acknowledged. it had to be done or
the Confederates would win the
fight.
The people had, and still have
warm spot in their hearts for the
great President. ABRAHAM LIN
colin. They know, and still be
lieve. that If Mr.. Lincoln had not
been murdered, the South would
have had great friend in him. The
South mourns for him, and her peo-
pie have the highest respect for his
craftsmanship and big heartedness.
He was true Patriot and the South
honors him as such. REX.

DON'T GO WEST" SAYS
DOCTOR ABOUT PATIENTS
Who Suffer From tuberculosis
Pure, Fresh Air All
Necessary.

Lexington. KY, Nov. 22.-Un-
compromising warfare against ma
laria in the South was declared by
the Southern Medical Association in
its closing session here when the as
ISOLATION approved the report of its
malarial commission. The report
provided for the inauguration of a
vigorous publicity campaign to ac-
quaint the people of the South,
where the disease is most prevalent,
with its economic cost and to arouse
them to the necessity of its preven-
ton.
Congress was memorialized to au-
thorize the continuation of the ma
laria surveys under the auspices of
the United States Public Health Ser
vice, the commission testifying to
the value of the work already done
An effort will be made to obtain the
Endorsement of the health officer of
every Southern State before the
memorial is formally presented.
- The assertion was made at the
session and Endorsed among others
by c. G. Bass, the New Orleans au-
thority, that malaria can be stamp
ed out of the entire South by the
simple eXpedient of administering
to sufferers thirty grains of quinne
one day each week for six weeks.
Patients in moderate circum-
stances should not spend money on
costly railroad tickets to go West.
declared DR.. Mary L. Lapsam, of
Highlands, n. c., addressing the
medical section to-day. THE
amount paid for railroad fare might
be spent to better advantage in the
treatment of tuberculosis at home,
she continued. Nor are sleeping
porches essential, she declared, for
fresh air obtained in any, well-airad
room will suffice.
Dr. Lapsam read one of the prin-
cipal papers of the days session Civ
en- over to the discussion of tubercu-
losis and it's treatment. All the doc
tors agreed that tuberculosis pa
tents should be told the truth and
not be deceived in regard to their
malady. if they have it. 1t was rec
commended also that more physi
clans, especially the younger men,
ize on tuberculosis.
