Il was shown IN that trial that
the only thing that kept Lewis
from getting killed. was that VIII
hams gun hung up aud failed TO
fire. Williams was laying for the
officers, and would have killed
Lewis hut iot his gun hanging up
Now Davis and some OF his
henchmen are going over the coun-
" and claiming that Lewis shot
Williams while he was asleep. This
is absolutely false, and Davis and
some OF his fellows who are hired
TO ride over the county aud tell
it, know il is false. Williams had
the very Winchester rifle in his
hands trying to shoot LEWIS, with
which he had shot young Bays.
Williams was desperate. He
had committed terrible crime
against the deaf and dumb girl,
aud then he was undertaking to
murder her brother and other
people, who testified against him
1t took n brave man, to go and
arrest desperate like that. Sam
Lewis was an officer. The war.
rant was placed into his hands,
aud he was ordered to arrest Viii
liams. Many a man would have
failed to 90 Lewis tried to do
his duty, and he almost lost his
life. You might say his life was
saved By Providence. Should he
now be censured for doing his du-

order to save his own life! Don't
you know il you elect Sam Lewis
that it matters not how desper-

The latest and best Joke is, the
one that Judge Stamper got of in
his speech at Grays last Saturday.
Judge Stamper said in his speech
there, that both banks in Barbour
vile were against him. because he
spent the County.s money instead
of keeping it in the Banks. That
is good one. The way we
understand the matter, the county's
money has been spent about a year
before they get it. Many citizens in
the County who hold claims and
are unable to get them paid, no
doubt. will know something about
how long the money is spent before
il is received. and the people whom
the county owes. would he very
glad il there was some county funds
somewhere. This is one fault that
the people find to Judge Stamper's
administration. lle spends the
money too long lefore he gets, Il
and that's why the county 10 10
debt all the time.

Why Don't Mr.. Davis
Tell The Truth?

We understand that w. II. Davis,
the Bull Moose candidate for
Sheriff, is circulating and paying one
or two other fellows to ride over the
country and circulate ialsehood in
regard to Sam Lewis killing one
General Williams. Now the facts
about this are these: Several years
ago there lived on Brush creek
a fine old Baptist Preacher, by the
name of Wesly Bavs We undertake
to say that there never lived in
Knox county n more honorable
citizen than this man lie had
daughter who was deaf and dumb
and was unfortunate III other resp.
ects, and this General Williams
took this deaf and dumb girl from
her home, and carried her OFF into
the m 1untains and finally into the
Mountains of T nnessee. A warrant
was issued for General Williams, and
a lot of citizens followed him, and
found HIM in the Mountains of
Tennessee and he had this deaf and
dumb girl tied to tree, and he had
mistreated this poor girl shamefully.
and Williams was brought back
to Knox county. and tried by "a
Jury and sent to the Penitentiarv
for something like 10 or IL wears.
after he was convicted and before
he went to the Penitentiary he
stated that when he got out he was
going to kill the witnesses, who
testified for the Commonwealth
against him. He served his iime out,
and on the day that he was released
from the Penitentiary. he told the
warden at the Penitentiary that he
was coming back to Knox County
to kill witnesses who swore against
him, and then they could do what
they pleased with him. One OF the
witnesses by the name of John
Williams and who was related to
this General Williams lived at
Corbin Kentucky. and this General
as he comes back from the
Penitentiarv got oft the train at

that he was going toBrush Creek
to kill these witnesses. He went on
TO Brush Creek. and called the
brother OF the deaf and dumb girl,
whom he had wronged, to the door
of his home. and without any

only party, ST. long IS 1T gave Ia
him a fat office. But just as
soon as he was denied an office
he turned upon the party, that
had made him. What for? 1t
was to CRAFTY his revenge against
Mr.. Taft. Now who made up
the leadership OF this new party?
= Disappointed office seekers,
Roosevelt down Ia the defeated
canidate for Constable. While
they formed new party last
year they succeeded in deceiving
many good and honest Republi
cans by claiming that they We're
still good kepu blcans.
They claimed fraud. While it
may have been right to defeat
Mr.. Taft, their attempt to de-
stroy this rarty in order to be re-
venged on Mr.. Taft cannot he
excused.
Look over Knox County and
see who were the leaders of this
party last year-Men removed
from Post Offices, Deputy col
lectors out of J0b-Store Keep
ers and Gaugers, who had been
removed for cause-Broken down
politicians, this county had plac-
ed in office for years, who had
lived of of this party all their

These men succeeded last year

The Bull Moose party was

when founded upon such unholy |

of the past. Il has run it's course.
The thinking, honest, patriotic
men who were deceived, have
seen their mistake aud have re.
turued hy millions to the grand
old party.
We have all observed its rapid
decline. The Bull Moose carried
Michigan last year by a large
majority, There was an election
held to elect Governor in the
same State last Spring,-When
the Bull Moose, Republican sad
| Democratic parties all had cant

Soon after this election there

carried the day in the last No

ted the Mayor and out of more
than l2J 600 votes cast the Bull
Moose" did not get more than
1000.
There was an election held in
Maine few days ago. The Re-
publicans were elected. and the
Bull Moose ran poor third.
The Republicans more than
doubled their vote over last Fall,
aud the Bull Moose lost more
than half of theirs. In New
York CITY last fall the Bull Moose
got nearly lO0,0 votes, but at a
! recent registeration in that city,
It showed less than $500 votes.
New jersey went Bull Moose
zig last Fall. The other day in
IN IA primary the Bull Moose
Inly got about 1000 votes out OF

The Bell Moose got over
100, 600 votes in the State OF
Kentucky last Fall. In the August
Primary in got less than 5000 in
, the State. Bull Moose carried
Whitley County last Fall, but in
the recent Primary it got less
| than 100 votes, and the Republi-
cans more than 1000 votes. Last
Fall the Bull Moose got about
1900 votes in Knox County. At
, the recent primary its total vote
was 5OJ votes. The Republicans
last fall got 1900 votes: In the
recent primary more than 2500
votes. And in the last primary
) the Republicans east nearly three
times as many votes as the Bull
Moose and Democrats combined.
All informed men are conceding
that the Bull Moose party is
dead and a thing of the past.
The Bull Moose leaders admit
this by their conduct. In Knox
County they are not willing to
try to stand alone. Their only
way to make any showing at all
is To tie themselves to the Dem
ocratic party.

POULTRY
FATS
ROOSTER LOWERS EGG YIELD
interesting Tests Made at New York
Experiment Station on Presence
Of Males in Flock. ~

The belief used to be general many
years ago that hens would not lay
without the presence of a male bird
In the flock. And even today there
are a few people that contend the
male stimulates egg production to a.
greater or less extent. Men who
have raised poultry for years still
cling to this notion and persist in
Keeping a lot of males hanging about
where only eggs are wanted.
The New York Experimental sta
ton made up four pens of pullets,
two consisting of pure-bred stock and
two of mixed stock With one pen Of
each class cockerels were kept, while
with the others none were allowed.
The cockerels were put with the two
pens two months before any began
laying. Some pullets in each of the
two pens in which no cockerels were
put began laying month before any
in the two containing cockerels. The
fowls were of the Asiatic breeds and
rather persistent sitters. No attempt
was made to discourage any of the
hens from sitting, and there seemed
to be no difference in the relative
number of sitters in the contrasted
pens. Of the cross-bred pullets the
lot without males laid better through
out the season and also during the
best egg season. Of the other lot
the one without males began laying
earlier and did better than the one
with males during the first part of
the season, but it fell slightly behind
for the latter months, though during.
that period they kept even with the
lot which was accompanied by males.
1t was thought that the vice of feath-
er eating which broke out in this pen
had much to do with the falling off
in egg production.
From these experiments it would
seem that the presence of males has
a detrimental influence upon the egg
yield. This is also the theory ad-
vanced by many in recent years, and
1t is now pretty generally accepted
by prominent egg farmers.
