CITY SCHOOL
ELECTION
Two Trustees For Three Years
Service to Be
Chosen.
3 CANDIDATES ARE NAMED.
VIM. A. Long Stands For Re-
Election, ThOS. W. Morris
Out.

The terms of W. A. Long and
Thos. w Morris. members of the
Hopkin sville Public Sch oil
Board Of trustees, expire in a few
days and an election of their success
sors is to be held next Saturday.
The election is to be held at the city
court room and the polls will be open
from 6 o'clock a. m. until A D. m.
The following gentlemen have been
named by the Mayor to conduct the
election:
W. F. Randle and A M. Wallis,
judges; James Breathitt. Jr., clerk;
S. G. Buckner, sheriff.
Under the law, this being an elec-
tion for trustees of the white schools,
ladies are allowed to vote.
Mr.. w. A. Long stands for re-
election, but owing to pressing bust
ness Mr.. Thos. w. Morris has de-
clined to allow his name to go be.
fore the people.
There will be other candidates,
Mr.. h. H. Abernathy having an
nounced his candidacy a month OF
more since. Col. E. B. Bassett's
name has been mentioned also. Mr
Bassett was seen yesterday and in
reply to the question as to whether
he would be in the race or not. he
said, II am in the hands of my
friends"
The gentlemen chosen will hold
office for three years.
This is a non-partisan affair and
the question of fitness is the only one
to be considered in choosing men to
manage the city schools. But every
body entitled to vote should take
enough interest in the city school
system to go to tho polls and assist
in naming the two men to take places
on the board.
There are said to be other men
than those named who are contem-
plating getting into the race, but
their names have not yet been given
out.

ANOTHER CONSUMPTION CURE
Tests To Be Made in Chicago
By Jesuit Scientists.

Washington, April 29.-In the be-
lief that a cure for tuberculosis has
been discovered, aside from that an
nounced by DR.. Friedrich F. Freid-
mann, it is announced here that the
Jesuits have decided to establish a
research laboratory in Loyola Uni
versity, Chicago, in which tests look
ing to the establishment of the claims
of the inventor Of the cure will be
made.
No report as to the supposed effic-
acy of the alleged cure accompanied
the announcement. The serum, it
was announced, is the discovery of
Dr. Peter Duket, a physician of Chi
cago, who claims he has cured ad-
vanced cases of consumption through
its use.
The Jesuits will investigate these
claims, and will also test other Sc
runs and soppused cures in the new
laboratory DR.. Maximilian Herzog,
formerly a pathologist in the United
States public health service, will be
in charge of the tests.

Says superintendent Hamlett
In Private Letter To a
Trustee.
PROGRESSIVE in EDUCATION.
City's Wonderful Growth Due
Largely TO Splendid School
System.

Much has been written about the
growth and general prosperity of
the city, in a great measure attribut-
able to our city public schools. No
one will dispute the assertion that
we have a system that deserves all
the praise it has received from many
sources, but statement from a man
who has had every opportunity of
knowing is worthy of repetition.
In the extracts from a private letter
from Supt. Barksdale Hamlet, pub
lished below, Mr.. Hamlet gives his
opinion of our schools and at the
same time pays tribute to Mr.. w.
A. Long, a member of the Board of
Trustees, for his faithful service
during a period of about eight years.
The letter bears date of April 21:
but, | am writing more especial
ly, to congratulate the city of Hop
kinsville and the public school sys.
tenn of Hopkinsville on having had
your splendid, wise and able direc.
ton as President of the Board OF
Trustees, for the past several years
/ believe that Hopkinsville, without
any doubt whatever, has made more
educational progress in the past few
years, than any city in Kentucky, OF
for that matter, amy city in the Soutf
anything like her size. No city cal
boast of such splendid public schoo
buildings, nor such magnificent
plant, by comparison, all of which
has been due to the splendid har
mony and unity of your board OF
trustees, your board of council, and
people of Hopkinsville, under your
direction as President of the School
Board.
81 know of the long and hard
struggle through which we had to
pass to secure the erection of the
new high school building, and know
of the personal work that you did to
this end and the many sacrifices that
you have made, and | congratulate
you on the splendid success you have
had in carrying out all of those
measures and policies which have
brought the public schools of the
city of Hopkinsville to their present
high condition of efficiency" ."

$3.50 Prize Offered For Cham
piOn of Each of the
Clubs.
PRIZES TO Be PAID in GOLD
Extra Effort Will Bring Big
Money to the Am
bilious.

The offers of big prizes to the
boys and girls for the best yield Of
corn and over 800 quarts of toma-
toes this year ought to inspire them
to renewed efforts for humber crops.
Prizes offered are to be considered
the main subject, but the increase in
products and the resultant effects OF
a more general effort will count
more than anything else, as on every
farm where there is a live and pro-
gressive boy. who desires to achieve
something in life.
A letter from Mr.. James Speed
Of Louisville. has been received by
Miss Jennie West, under date OF
April oath, authorizing her to pub
lish the following prizes offered by
Mr.. ]. B. McFerran:
First prize: $3.50 in gold will be
awarded the boy in the corn clubs Of
Kentucky who is State champion and
exceeds $50 bushels on his acre.
Second prize: $3.50 in gold will
be awarded the girl in the tomato
canning clubs in Kentucky who il
State champion and cans to exceed
800 quarts from her lilo of al
acre.
Corn planting is now general al
over the county, many farmer hav
ing already gotten about through
with their part of the farm work
But we heard a successful farmer
say the other day that he makes it 6
rule to always plant corn in the
month of May, so it is not yet toe
late for the boys who have not al
ready planted their acre to get into
the contest. Boys. remember that
a Christian county boy took the pre-
MUM last year at the State fair, and
it can be done again this year.
Now is the time to put out toma.
to plants and the girls who have
agreed to get into the contest may
safely put out their plants. We
would like for Christian county to
land both of Mr.. McFerran's prem.
iums this year. Get busy. girls--nice
pin-money for you.

DIR. BASSETT
Pulls OF New Stunt in Base
ball Tactics.

A local baseball official is telling a
new trick performed by DR.. Frank
Bassett, President of the Kitty
League.
Last Monday DIR. Bassett was anx-
ious to have done lot of work on
the grounds of the park. There were
pienty of negroes on the grounds
but none of them could be induced
to go to work. Finally DIR. Bassett
got desperate and grabbed rake
and began raking off the debris left
on the. diamond by the carnival
people. He made only few licks
when he turned up bright silver
quarter. Then the colored people
got busy and like to have raked
themselves to death, believing that
quarters might be found anywhere
and everywhere. Result a clean di-
amond, but no more quarters found
lying around loose. The doctor has
been accused of sailing" the dia-
mond in order to get the idle negroes
to go to work, but he pleads iuno-
cence of the charge. Anyway, he got
what he wanted and was a quarter
better off by his find.
