Kentucky Mules In Demand

Kentucky mules are in large de-
mand and prices are very attrac-
tive. Numerous sales of work
mules have been made recently at
prices varying from 1925 to $3.50
per pair. The State is also up
holding its fame for fine jacks and
jennetts. Buyers in great num-
bers have come here to make pur-
chases ofbreeding stock to be used
TO improve the work stock in other
States. A yearling jack raised in
Montgomery county was recently
sold for $500. Henry Letton, of
Nicholas county, sold a fine suck
ling mare mule for $150.-Ex.

Peacenlaker Killed

While trying to settle a mis-
understanding between ]. w.
Doherty and N. S. CLAYTON, near
the depot Wednesday night in
Danville, Conductor James T.
Anderson was shot and killed by
Doherty. 1t seems that the two

Doherty holding a revolver. When
Anderson came up and attempted
to stop the trouble, Doherty, it is
said, turned the weapon and fired
three shots. All are railroad
men, the dead man being a
freight conductor, his slayer a
fireman. The dead man leaves a
wife and three children, residing
in Somerset, it is said. An ex-
aiming trial will be held before

Kentucky Waking Up

Kentucky is waking up in the
matter of purifying politics and
this is what might be termed the
filling of a long-felt- want. Coun-
ty after county is declaring for
cleaner and purer elections and
the candidates generally are re-
spending to the wishes of the
people and subscribing to the OBJ
legations not to use money, whis.
ky or other corrupting methods
to secure their nominations. 1t
looks like the vote buyer and the
fioater will be forced out of bust.

The Logical Democratic Can

There are five candidates in the
field for Sheriff of Madison county,
and all are Splendid men. But in
The Madisonian. (Richmond, Ky.) 1913-1914, 1913-07-29


one man who stands pre-eminent-
ly above the rest. In the present
instance, it cannot be disputed
that ]. S. Collins is the man of the
hour. Without any fear of sue
cessful contradiction, there is no
hesitancy in saying he has worked
harder and accomplished more for
the Democratic party than the
combined efforts of his opponents.
For thirty-five years in this coun-
ty, in sunshine and storm, in adj
versity, and defeat, he has stood
like a stalwart athlete and mar
shalled the scattered hosts, giving
cheer to the disconsolate, taking
up the Flag of Democracy and
waving it defiantly in the face of
defeat, urging those who were
disconsolate and sore to renew
the attack and try to win the vic
tory. He is one man who always
smiled in defeat and continued a
campaign of warfare against the
opposing forces. Had it not been
for his tireless energy, the Demo
cratic party would not be so thor
oughly intrenched in the hearts
and condolences of the people of
Madison county to-day. He has
been brave warrior and match
less general-the noblest Roman
of them all. Not only has he been
a tower of strength in the Demo
cratic ranks, but he has ever been
the true friend of the people, a
like in prosperity and adversely.
He is every inch a true Kentuck-
always charitable and kind =
a loyal and devoted friend at all
times. He is as well qualified to
fill the office as any man in the
county. By his devotion to duty
and loyalty to his friends, he has
won the confidence and esteem of
the masses. He is always alert
and dependable, and if elected
sheriff, he will discharge the duties
of that office with justice and i'm
Partially. Being such a splendid
type of man, and for years a tire
less worker for the principles of
Democracy, there is no valid rea-
son or excuse why the people
should not elect him sheriff by a
splendid majority. Having de-
voted the best portion of his life
and spent large sums of money
for the upbuilding of the Demo
cratic party, the voters of the
county should now show their APP
probation of his services by nom
mating and electing him the next
Sheriff of Madison county.

American Refining Company at House
Hearing Seeks Cut In Present

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE American
Sugar Refining company went on rec
ord at the hearing before the house
ways and means committee Wednes-
day in favor of a reduced tariff on
sugar, retention Of the small differen-
tial duty on refined sugar, IF protec-
ton is to be given to any industry"
and the continuation of the present
color standard as the most practicable
distinction between raw and refined
sugars for customs house classifica-
tions.
1t opposed the abolition of all dut.
on sugar on the ground that 1t would
destroy at once one Of the largest
sources of revenue.
The American company's position
was presented by Edwin F. Atkins.
vice-president and acting head of the
company
Free sugar, while present produc.
ton is maintained" he said, would
drop prices here SO low as to destroy
the Louisiana industry, the beet sugar
industry, particularly east of the Mis-.
sissippi river, would depress Porto
Rico and Philippine sugars far below
their production cost, and make Ha
waiian production improbable, thus
largely curtailing our present sources
of supply"

Peculiar Accident Due to High Water
at Cumberland City.

Clarksville, Tenn.-A freight train
on the Memphis branch of the Louis
Vile & Nashville railroad collided
with the packet boat Lochie S in the

railroads right of way. 1t being after
night the engineer on the train could
not see the carft, and not understand
ing steamboat signals, was ALMOST
upon the boat before he knew it. The
emergency brakes were applied, but
before the train could be brought to
a stand the boat had been side-swiped.

OFFICERS FIGHT
DISPUTE ON BOARD TURKISH
sATTLEsHIP CAUSES INJURY
OF SEVERAL.
Naval Battle Between Turks and
Greeks Is Reported-Report That
Fleet Returned Safely to
-a sre ' Dardanelles.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Constantinople.-The ministry OF
the interior has issued report of an
engagement between the Turkish and
Greek fleets between the islands of
Tenedos and Lemnos, lasting several
hours.
According to this official report
there were heavy losses on both sides.
The Turkish fleet returned safely to
the Dardanelles and the wounded
we're being brought to Constantinople.
A serious quarrel occurred on the
Turkish warships in the Dardanelles
between some of the officers, who
were anxious to fight the Greeks, and
others, who considered that the Turk
ish fleet was no match for the enemy,
Blows were exchanged, and before the
quarrel was settled is officers were
wounded.
The trouble arose through the cir
culation of a manifesto signed "The
women of Turkey" suggesting that
the forts should sink the Turkish war
ships, whose poor-spirited officers al
ways fed at the approach of the Greek
fleet.
