and, returning can take a nap
with an electric fan gently purring,
waiting zephyr breeze over her
and then when hubby returns
from the office, tired and worn
out, she can put him in an insu-
lated chair, give him an electric
tonic for his spinal column, rub
his head with an electric massage,
and read the latest novel all the
while. After he has prepared his
supper and smoked a cigar light
ed by an electric match, the tin
tinabulations of an electric bell,
warn him that it is time to say
Nov | lay me down to sleep"
and he is soon ensconced in paja-
mas ironed by an electric iron.
Touching an electric button his
folding bed glides from its niche
in the wall, he jumps in, rams his
feet against an electric warmer
and soon is in the sweet elysian
fields of dreamland. Then his
wife comes in, places an electric
kicker next to him, which is so
delicately tuned that at the first
loud snore a switch is thrown and
it kicks him till he stops snoring.
Promptly at five in the morning
an electric gong sounds, arousing
him from his kicks and slumber
and then the electric grabber,
grabs him and throws him out of
bed to get breakfast, after which
he has the delectable privilege of
walking down town through the
mud and Slush to the office to be-
gin it all over again.
Yes, this is an age of electricity,
but there is one thing that it has
not yet improved-the five finger

WOMEN CAN VOTE
Court of Appeals Decides
That They Have the
Right of Ballot
FOR SCHOOL TRUSTEES.

The Court of Appeals last
Thursday sustained the right of
women to vote in the election of
ountySuperintendent of Schools.
Some of the Circuit Judges had
held that they could do so and
had ordered ballots prepared for
them. In some of the counties the
County Court Clerks had done
so of their own initiation. A test
case went up from Anderson
county, and Judge Marshall was
sustained in toto by the appell-
ate court. He held that the
women could vote in that race.
The opinion was written by Chief
Justice Hobson, and contains the
following paragraph:
IF the Legislature should pro-
vide for the election of common
school trustees by the people OF
the entire county, as it may do,
these trustees might, with equal
force be called county officers. 1t
is matter of no consequence by
what name school officers are
designated or by what authority
their compensation is paid or
which or whether they are elected
from what may be called districts
or county at large. 1t is the fact
that they are school officers that
brings them within the meaning
of Section 155 of the Constitution
and thereby eXcepts them from
the operation of the other section
relating to suffrage and elections. "
This settles the case which was
recently filed in our Circuit Court
by Mrs. James Bennett on behalf
of herself and others against
County Clerk Terrill, to require
him to prepare ballots for the
female voters. Mr.. Terrill had re-
fused to do this, hence the suit
brought by Mrs. Bennett who is
represented in the case by Mr..
Grant E. Lilly.

Claimed by Death

The grim reaper visited the
home of Mr.. Harvey Cobb of this
county, last Thursday night and
loosened the silver cord. Mr.. Cobb
was 81 years of age, and through
out his life had teen one of Mad
ison County's best citizens. He
was active and energetic, popu-
lar and beloved by all of his
neighbors. His wife died some
three years ago, but four children
survive him: The Hon. ]. Tevic
Cobb, c. w. Cobb of Red House,
Mrs. w. H. Welch of Louisville,
and Silas Cobb of San Diego,

ing three children, Mrs. M. R.
Baxter, D. l'evis Huguley and
Mrs. r. P. McCord.

Methodist church, and was one
of its exemplars. The funeral

An Old Paper

One of the most interesting
relics in the newspaper line
that has come to our notice out
side of the public museums, is. a
paper that was handed to us by
Mr.. William Smith on Second
Street of this city. 1t is the St.
Louis Enquirer, dated Sept. 1st,
1919. On the front page of this
paper is the name of Isaac Shell
by, Danville, KY. This paper
has been in possession of Mr..
Smith some thirty or forty years,
and has been carefully preserved.
1t is a five column folio, and the
entire front page is given to ad-
vertising matter, and nearly all
of the rest of the paper as for
that matter. 1t has some inter
esting matters in relation to
Mexico under the head lines,
Spanish America the begin
ming of which reads as follows:
'1t is understood that commits
sioners from the republicans of
Mexico are now at the seat of
the general government. They
have come to ask from us what
we asked from Louis XVI in our
own struggle for liberty" "etc.
The paper will be kept on ex
hibition at our office for some
time.

SALARY GRABBERS
You Will Hear the Voice of
the People On This
Question.

An inspection of the records of
the Madison Fiscal Court will
disclose the startling fact that the
city officers are not the only sal
ary grabbers in this fair land.
There are others. Although the
county officers were nominated at
the county primary without any
suggestion from them that they
were not satisfied with the order
of things in Madison county, espe-
cially in so far as it related to the
question of salaries, some of
them have, With a peculiar haste,
rushed to the Fiscal court and de-
manded large increases in the
stated salaries of their offices.
Heading the list comes the Coun-
ty Judge, (who did not utter d
word during the campaign about
the insufhciency of the salary of
$3.50 which he had been paid for
the four years previous, and in
addition to that, $500 for clerk
hire) who demanded the sum of
$500 as a salary for the next
County Judge for the ensuing
term of four years. The Fiscal
Court divided equally on the prop.
osition and His Honor settled the
matter by voting the increase to
himself. The members votins
for the increase are Judge Rice,
Judge Dykes, Squire Burgin and
Squire Hackett. Voting against
were Todd, Hazelwood, Long and
Taylor. The County Judge goi
his salary increased by his own
vote.
The newly nominated Count,
Superintendent of Schools allow
ed no man to display greater
alacfity than he in asking for ar
increase in salary from $1250 (
year to $500, but this was no
sustained.
The road Supervisor alst
made hasty tracks, and lon.
strides to the salary raising port
and demanded raise from $125t
to $500, and this raise was sus
) tanned, but there is proposition
to employ an assistant with tn
; additional $3.50.
A brief resume of the Count
Judges is tas follows: In th'
time of Judge Turpin the salar
t was $3.50, and Judge Turpin ha'
: all the very burdenSome roa'
| business to look after. Sine
then all of the road business ha
been transferred from that oficet
} the office of road engineer, whic
rids the County Judges office @
a great deal of drudgery. No
/ withstanding the fact that tn
County Judges office is now ri

/ still the salary of the Count
Judge has been increased durin
the present incumbent's term G

The half printed paper of the
Jackson Times was taken by
stealth from the office and thrown
into the Kentucky river where
it was found floating the
next day. The paper contained
some very hot political matter,
and was taken from the river,
dried and the edition was COM
pleted. Probably the hot mat
ter in it assisted them in drying
it out.

DEMONSTRATION
OF Electrical Appliances
Galore.
FOLLOWED BY A BANQUET.

The Kentucky Utilities Com
pany gave a demonstration at
their office on Second Street, this,
city on last Wednesday, of the
practical domestic uses to which
the electrical current could be put.
The demonstration was in charge
of Mr.. F. w. Pawling, Heating
Specialist of the General Electric
Co., H. S. Gilhams, of the West
inghouse Company, N. R. Chase,
Illuminating Expert of the Gen
eral Electric Co., c. J. Eaton
Commercial Manager of the Ken
lucky Utilities Co., w. S. Glass,
Solicitor of the Kentucky Utili-
ties Co., and the local agent, G. T.
Bogard and Miss Nettie Hicks.
The display was an exceedingly
attractive one and impaired much
valuable information to those
who attended. One feature of
the demonstration was a guess
ing contest at the number of cleo
tric bulbs on display in the show
window of the office. There were
1763 guesses made, ranging all
the way from 167 to 900, the fav-
orite guess being 375. The actu-
al count, which occurred at night,
gave the number as 365, and five
persons had guessed that number
the fortunate ones being Miss Bes-
sic Miller, Mrs. E. w. Walker
Mr.. G.. G. Cornelius, Mr.. Walter
Parks and Mr.. Gordon Parrish.
The successful guessers not being
present at the count, the choice
between them was deferred until
Saturday morning, at which time
they met and drew for their pres
entS.
Another very enjoyable feature
of the occasion was the banquet
given at night by the Company
| to the Editors of the city, the four
papers being represented as fol.
