Has Been Offered NardenShip

We see no reason why John Chill

much better salary attached to it.
During his administration at the

in every way and the Governor and
the prison board have been so well
pleased that they want to move him
up to Frankfort.
The position at Frankfort might
be more observation-disclosures we fail

pretty much to the insistanee OF

The arrival of the Sunday papers
containing the developments in the
case caused excitement and indigna-
ton in South Christian, where the
crime was committed. The people
among whom Mr.. Jenkins lived are
law-abiding and good citizens. There
was much talk of mob violence when
the negro was captured, but cool
counsels prevailed under assurances
that the law would be enforced and
the murderer legally executed. The
citizens employed attorneys to assist
in the prosecution and in two sepa-
rate trials Slaughter was given a
death sentence.
A failure to carry out the sentence
will do much to destroy confidence
in the law and will revive a mob
spirit that was allayed by the belief
that Slaughter would die for his
crime.
Many kilograms were sent to Gov.
McCreary yesterday protesting
against the proposed Communication.

Murderer of Lee Jenkins Will
Not Die In Chair
After All.
UNUSUAL ACTION WAS TAKEN
Governor DeIuged With Pro-
tests By Wire and
Mail.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 10.-After
affirming the death sentence imposed
on Tom Slaughter by the Christian
Circuit Court. the Judges of the
Court of Appeals requested Gov.
McCreary to commute the penalty to
imprisonment for life. and Gov. Nc
Creary has announced that he will
do SO. Slaughter is negro. who
shot and killed Lee jenkins. white
man at Edgoten.
This unusual action of the Judges
was due to the fact that they be.
lieved from the evidence that
Slaughter's crime was not capital
offense. while they could find on
error in the record. The case has
been reversed once before. but In
that opinion the court declared the
evidence sufficient to warrant a sub
mission to jury. It was appealed
from the second evidence. and the
record showed that the trial court
had implicitly followed directions.
The request for communication was
in writing and signed by Chief JUS
tice ]. P. Hobson and Judges w. E.
Settle. Shackleford Miller. John D.
Carroll, T. j. Num-. ]. M. Lasting
and C. C. Turner. 1t is in part: "In
the case of Thomas Slaughter VS..
the Commonwealth. recently before
us on appeal, we are all satisfied that
the death penalty should not be in
flicted. and unite in this application
that the sentence be committed to
imprisonment for life."

Government and State Experts
Assigned To Speak
On Roads.
EVERY FARMER SHOULD COME
Better Roads Should Be Slogan
of Christian Co.
Farmers.

There are many reasons why the
good roads meeting to be held here
this month, should be great one.
There is no question t b should
arouse enthusiasm among farmers
more than that of having good roads.
True it is that road conditions are
far in advance of what they were in
the forties, but there is yet much
room for Improvement. The county
has spent hundreds of thousands of
dollars for road improvements and
the people are doubtless willing to
go still farther in that direction.
That being true, so much more the
reason why they should be here at
the good roads meeting on Wednes-
day and Thursday, February 18th
and goth.
This meeting was arranged 80 that
those who are interested in what has
become a national question would
not have to lose valuable time from
the farm.
The farmers who want good roads
at public expense, could not do bet
ter than attend and learn more abou,
building roads that will last. In fac
that is the most important feature
of road building.
So active have those who are work
ling for more modern and bette
roads that they have, in conjunction
with the Business Mems Association
secured Government expert to b.
here during the coming meeting
The Government has selected Mr.. M
o. E bridge, of Washington City t
represent it and State Road Commits
sioner. R. c. Terrell, has notified
Secretary Castleberry that he viii
also send an expert.
Different sections of the State viii
send delegations. The City of Pa
ducah and McCracken county,
have already manifested their inten.
ton of sending representatives.
Delegations from Tennessee will also
be here.
If the farmers of our own county
would see general Improvement in
their roads they will be recreant tc
their best interests should they fai
to turn out February 10Th and 10th
en- masse and make the meeting the
most notable one yet held in the
State.
Farmers should realize that the
success Of the meeting is altogether
in their hands. Whilst progressive
men on every calling, including oul
Business Mems Association and mer,
chants. are doing everything possible
they would advance their own inter,
ests by assuming the lead in road
affairs, and arouse the enthusiasm
of their neighbors in every section
