such a way, and is beyond the
power of description The dig steel
wrecker on the regular L. & N. road
was sent for and Monday it per.
formed wonders in the clearing up
of the wrecksge. 1t was marvellous
the way it could handle those great
steel cars and set them up a.
gain on the track. The loss to the
railroad will run into the many
thousands Of dollars. Had the
cars been of the wooden type in.
stead of the steel ones, they would
not have been worth hauling off
except the trucks. Five negroes
were put off at Clay City and hal
they been on at that time they GER
tainly would have been killed.
Some claim that there is at least one
or two still buried in the wreckage
but the writer talked with three eff
those put off at Clay City and they
say that there were meme on. The
wreck drew great crowds of p. ople
from all directions.
At the last moment before an
election politicians are prone to try
to tell some falsehood or start some
slanderous story about their oppo.
nents They stoop to the dirty
method of Singing mud at the men
on the other side. Sometimes this
does harm, hut more often it does
not. The man who will sling mud
at his opponent usually has dirty
hands himself. AS one man has
expressed it, "Never reply to a
false attack. Your friends don't
need, it and your enemies wouldn't
bel'liev. you anyway" Let US go
to the polls next Tuesday and put
in the men whom we thing will
make the best officers for our
county. Let not Partyism nor kim
ship interfere with the choice of
good men. Because a man is kin
to US does not bind anyone to vote
for him. if the ether mar. is the
better man. Do not let money or
'whiskey influence your vote. AS
sert your manhood if anyone stoops
to degrade your character with
such hase methods. We were
proud of the fact that the Primary
was so clean and so little money
and whisky used, ard we trust that
the election Tuesday will be just as
clean We are fast approaching the
day of clean politics. and each one
of US can do our part in helping
this day to come.
Mr.. Fred Blackburn was in
Louisville this week. He also at
tended the Sunday School at the
Christian Church on Sunday at
Winchester where they had nine
hundred in attendance. There
were nearly three hundred men in
the school, composed mostly of the
business men Of the town. 1t is a
splendid thing when the best bust
ness men of town og to Sunday
school, and it means a great deal
to the young people to have such
an example set before them. If the
men of today are looking for a
of strength and power In
the future, they must at the present
time give attention to their Sun
day.school; in other words the
strength of the Church tomorrow is
IN the Sunday School Of today.
Unless the men Of the Church stir
and take a more active
interest in the work of the Sunday
School, and especially in the boys
of the Sunday School. there will be
4 still smaller per cent of men in
the Church of the next generation
than there is today. There are
three million more women in our
Churches than men. The boy of
today in the Sunday School will
later be man of the Church ii we
bave any men in that church. We
must not forget the bow who is
growing into manhood. Let us en-
them w our attendance,
md where we can discuss social and
,ivic problems. Let US take vital
interest in the affairs OF the entire
SUNDAY School. Find out what the
school is doing and if there is a
place for YOU to work. This takes
lime and work but think of the re-
'ults. Christian manhood will BIZ
developed, and YOU will teach
