Ky. Red Berkshire Association.

The Kentucky Red Berkshire Swine
Association are out in neat prospectus
setting forth the virtues of this par
ticular breed of swine. Ii numbers
among its stockholders many Garrard
county people and among the Board of
Directors are Messrs Luther Gibbs,
A. X. Walker and J. G. Burnside, TIE
latter named gentleman being the pre-
sident of the association. The follow
ing bit of history is on the third page
of the cover Of the pamphlet and will
prove of interest to the people of Gar
rard county.
LAS far back as 1880, John Walker
and Hilery Gibbs, Of Garrard county,
Kentucky. drove fat hogs to the south
ern market for some fifteen or twenty
years successfully.
In making these trips. as far as South
Carolina and Georgia noticeable fact
was the advantage the red hog
had over any other breeks in travelling.
At the end of the trip the red hog was
in better condition from the point of
retaining flesh and with the case with
which they had Travelled, and condition
generally. Another point was, they
were more admired on the trip than
any others. Some years later, when
these gentlemen began farming. they
conceived the idea of developing apure
breed of red hogs. About the year
1850 they began to select their choicest
red gifts and cross them on the best
red boars obtainable. Other neighbors
namely: Jack Burnside, William Fer
roll and several Madison county men,
realizing the superiority of these hogs
joined in with them, and. by judicious
mating. have continued to improve
them to the present day. About this
time winter packing came into prom
inence. and experienced buyers and
shippers would pay from 25c to SOC
per hundred more for the red hog than
for any others, claiming they would
dress out larger percentage of high
priced meat than any other hog in ex-
istence. Meeting with 50 much en-
enlargement and success, the descen-
dants of these older men, having kept
their breeding pure. have deemed it
advisable to form the Kentucky Red
Berkshire Association, believing it will
continue to further the interest of
swine breeding throughout the United
States"

The Interior Journal prints on the
first page of the paper that Special
Dispatch to the Post from Danville, ,
evidently desiring to draw it specially
to the attention of its readers. Does
the editor stand sponsor for the truth
of the articles. He claims to publish a
paper with the largest circulation of
any country Journal in the state. Does
he consider it in keeping with a good
democrat or an honorable journalist to
publish live political story" full of
untruth, rejecting upon the political
conduct of prominent democratic Of
ficials? Did he make any inquiry for
the truth concerning the statements in
this article before he sent it to his
hundreds of readers, if so of whom
did he inquire? Or does he take poll
tics as game, the whole purpose of
which is the spoils of Office? A game
in which the end, with him, justifies
the means, whether the means be to
spread truth and falsehood alike without
discriminating for his readers concern
ing any. with the only thought that it
may all help his man and bring success

Political Bushwhacking.

The Louisville Evening Post publish
ed an article in Thursdays paper pur-
porting to be Special message from
its correspondent at Danville, Ky. in
which the names of number of prom
inent public officials holding district
offices in the state, and several candi-
dates for democratic nominations were
freely handled.
Included among the number were
the names of Circuit Judge, Charles A..
Hardin, Hon. Henry Jackson, county
attorney of Boyle county, Congress
man Harve Helm, Congressman A. O..
Stanley and Governor Beckham, con-
didates for the Senate. All sorts of
political conniving and scheming is
suggested. and the name of the editor
of the Record is connected in way as
represents him to be real. party to
deep laid plans.
When the article came to our atten-
tion Friday morning we Immediately
called the managing editor of the Post,
Mr.. Boyle, by telephone and inquired
the name of the author and the COR
respondent responsible for it. We
were informed that although the mes.
sage was headed from Danville,
that neither was it sent from
Danville nor was it from the regular
correspondent of the Post at that place,
who is Mr.. Owen McIntire, but that
he had just had talk over the phone
with the author of the article who
would not consent for his name to be
known, and for that reason Mr.. Boyle
declined to give out the author Of this
Special from Danvillesto the Post.
We were not surprised when no one
would own such an article. We now
feel that the simple announcement to
the public that no person can be found
who has the temerity to be called the
author of this Dispatch is in itself suf-
ficient to convince every one who may
read it that its purpose is deception,
and that some where in it there is
lurking untruth, and that no fair mind
ed or truth seeking reader will be in
fiuenced by the statements contained
in it.
Whsn gossip goes flying through a
community assailing character without
a living person to vouch for its truth

pronounces it SANDER Immediately.

tanned in this Dispatch from Danville,

We observe the Louisville Post JUS
tifying the publication of the Author
less Dispatch in a statement that it
came as news from responsible source
and that they had received no denial
of the statements contained therein
from any person named. Since we
have not been in the journalistic har-
ness very long we would like to in
quire of the Post whether it is gener-
ally considered ethical journalism to
to publish news as coming from one
community when it was known at the
time by the publisher to have been sent
and originated in another community.
And didn't, in this instance, you do
this for the premeditated purpose of
deceiving your readers? Would a re-
liable correspondent be guilty of such
an act of deception. Now, if the Post
will give the name of the writer of
that article to the public it might be
unnecessary for any person to dignity
it with any sort of notice. The peo-
pie of this section of Kentucky may
have different estimate of the re-
liability of this special correspondent
of the Post, than has the Managing
Editor of the Post himself.
His character and reputation may be
so well known in the Eighth Congress
sional District that although, this article
be scintillating with untruth the mem
tion.of the writer's name may render
it unnecessary for any person mention
ed IN the article to give any notice to
it in order that the public may COM
pletely disregard the story.

The father of Joseph Altsheler the
writer Of war stories, was a Prussian
who came to this country few years
before the war between the states
broke out and settled in Barren county,
Kentucky. By reason Of his foreign
birth the elder Altsheler was not sub
ject to draft by either army when hos
pathies made him obnoxious to a group
Of bushwhackers who. posing as Fed
erals, infested the vicinity Of the Ken
tucky-Tennessee state line.
One starless. moonless night in the
summer Of 1868 neighbor came with
the word that the bushwackers Were
on their way to kill Mr.. Altsheler and
another resident Of the vicinity who
had been outspoken in his approval OF
secession. 1t was not certain. the mes
senger said. which road of two the
marauders would take to reach the
homes Of their proposed victims; but ii
was certain that they would be along
soon.
Mr.. Altsheler and the other threat.
ened man gathered up blanket apiece
and went into the woods to hide. In
the darkness they speedily lost all
sense Of direction. For an hour they
wandered about. seeking a suitable
camping place. Finally they came to
spot that was free Of trees and
where the ground felt smooth under
foot So they spread their blankets
and went to sleep. secure in the be
lief that no bushwhacker could find
them there.

around. They had been asleep all
night at the only place where the
raiders could not have failed to find
them had their plans been carried out
