HIGH PRICE
May Be Paid For Oranges By
Robt. McJoy.

Yesterday morning Robert Nc
Joy, a negro, was in the city court
on the charge of breaking open a car
of the Illinois Central railroad. Of
ficer Hadden made the arrest. He
caught the negro inside of the car,
the seal of which had been broken,
and henegro was devouring oranges
with great gusto. 1t was charged
that he broke open the box of oranges
but t h er is no statement as to
whether he had appropriated any
thing else. If the charges are sub
Stimulated McJoy's Christmas oran-
ges will come high, as the first charge
alone is sufficient to send him to the
pen.

Telephone Com
pany May Not Buy County
Franchise.
RURAL LINES UNPROFITABLE
lntimatiOn That The Company
May COnine Its BuSine IS
TOCitieS and Towns.

AS a result of the decision of the
Kentucky Court of Appeals, affirm
ing the Christian Circuit Court in
declaring that the Christian-Todd
Telephone Company must purchase
a franchise to continue business out
side OF the towns in which it holds
franchises, the company may aband-
on its country business, which it is
claimed, has never been profitable.
This statement is made on authority
of high official of the telephone
company.
The plan may be adopted of re-
curing the country lines which it is
said are owned for the most part by
farmers to pay for connection with
the town exchanges. 1t is said that
the poles, wires and other para
pherna ia of the country lines will be
offered at figure approximating
cost of the farmers companies.
1t is not believed that the company
will ask for a franchise in the
counties for local business.

The one arguement that will in
the end be relied upon by the nom
progressive element in Hopkinsville,
within the Democratic party, to de-
feat the movement to put the city
in its constitutional class, will be that
rule of the people will turn the
city over to the Republican party
In answer to this claim, the follow
ing analysis of the votes cast in
Hopkinsville for the past several
years, taking the head of the ticket
as the basis, is interesting at this
time.
In 1907, with the Democratic
party badly split on the question of
law and order, Hager received 600
votes and Wilson 1877 for Governor,
the white polls for that year being
1882 and the colored polls 874. Not
voting $50.
In 1908, the same conditions pre-
vailing, Bryan received for Presi-
dent TIC votes and Taft 1O46, that
being Republican landslide y ear
The white polls were 1876 and color
ed 1864. Not voting GIG.
In 1909, Salmon for Senator re-
ceived 769 votes and Long, Republi
can, 908. The polls that year were
1882 white and 1163 colored. Not
voting 998.
In 1910 there was no contest worth
mentioning Out of the few votes
cast for congressman Stanley got
284 and R. j. Salmon, Rep. 382. The
polls were 1909 white and 919 color
ed.
Since that election the Democratic
party has been again united and has

COL. KELLY
Former Editor Of Louisville
Commercial Dies of Grief
For His Son.

Louisville, KY, Dec. 29.-Col.
Robert Morrow Kelly, soldier, editor,
lawyer and politician died Saturday
afternoon from a complication of
heart disease and pneumonia.
Since the death of his son, Lieut.,
Hugh Marsh Kelly, who was killed
at San Diego, Cal, Nov. "a during
the course of army aviation expert
ments being carried on there, he
had steadily failed, and fell an easy
victim.
His wife also is i'll as a result of
worry over the death of her son and
her friends and relatives have ex-
pressed great anxiety because of her
condition.
He was in his 18th year. Two
sons and three daughters survive
him.

STRANGE GIRL
Still Unable To Give Any AC-
count OF Her
self.

No change has taken place in the
condition of the strange girl in the
Western Hospital.
The girl was received on Dec, IA
from Union county, where she was
found a few days prior in an old
shed. She is suffering from an al
most complete loss of mind and has
never been able to give any coherent
information about herse f, though
she has been questioned several
times by the hospital physicians.
She stated her name is Alma and
that she had been travelling with a
student named Jones, who had de-
serted her. She said that she had
lived in New York but left there
eight years ago and since has been
living in the South. On her clothes
the name "Justia" was found and
some initials, but not enough to iden-
tify her. Her eyes are grey, hair
brown and nicely cared for. She is
five feet six inches tall and weighs
l25 pounds, her figure is good, and
she is attractive in appearance. So
far absolutely no trace of her name
or people has been discovered.

carried the city in every election for
three years by increasing majorities.
At the same time there has been a
steady increase of the white and a
decrease of the colored polls, the
figures for 1913 being 1924 to $40.
In 1911. the Democrats carried
the seven city precincts for Governor
by 912 to 827.
In 1912, Wilson received 813, Taft
751 and Roosevelt 1876, the Demo-
Gratis holding their majority in a
triangular contest.
In 1913. the Progressive vote ap-
parently went largely to the Demo-
cratic ticket, the vote for state
senator standing Salmon 996 and
Mclaughlin Republican S05-or a
Democratic majority of 1879.
The Republican party has ceased
to be formidable and this is the best
time to put the city in the third class,
when party lines are not likely to
be drawn. The Republicans have
not attempted for many years to
draw party lines in the city and even
the Democrats have ceased to nomi-
nate the appointive officersin caucus,
the apportionment of the spoils of
office having became a matter of
private agreement by portion of
the councilmen, sometimes entered
into before their election.
There will be a concerted demand
from the business interests of Hop
kinsville for proper classification of
the city by the general assemble, re-
CARELESS of the private interests of
individuals. The people will make
an issue that will be well defined.
