Off They Go.

A change in the condition of the
pike from this town to Campbellsville,
from bad to worse forces w. 4. Myers
and son to withdraw their automo-
bile service until the summer SUM-
shine overcomes the winter rains and
freezes. Apparently, last week, the
outlook was favorable, the future
seemed certain to warrant a continu-
ance, of the good service they were
giving, but the rain softening the
roads, heavy wagons digging deep rutes,
the rough stone tumbled on the road
all combined to make it unsafe and al
most impossible for autos. 1t is a
means of protecting the public and
safeguarding their personal interest
that these gentlemen further refuse
to operate their machines on this
road. They are mail contractors and
to that extent are compelled to carry
out their agreement which will be
done OH the old hacks, arrangements
having been made with Golf Bros.
Liverymen of this town, to keep
the hacks going. These gentlemen
inform The News man that they re-
greet to take this step but as above
stated no other safe course was open.
The inconvenience and IVORY to the
travelling public are plain to US all.
The effect on this entire community
is neither wholesome nor appreciated,
but no one acquainted with conditions
will have any just ground for CRITICS
ing the course taken.

Capt. W. W. Bradshaw'S Sunday
School Work.

The American Sunday School Union
presents brief statement of Capt. w.
W.Bradshaw's Sunday School work up
to three years before his death. Comes
from his Superintendent S. d. Hen
derSon, KY, Rev. ]. HI. McCullagh.
Capt. w. W. Bradshaw was a noted
cavalry officer during the civil war.
For the past twenty-eight years he
has been our intrepid missionary in
the toughest mountain region of Ken
lucky. In a number of counties he
established the first Sabbath schools
ever known within their bounds.
AT the risk of his life, he has visit
ed communities rent aSunder by
bloody feuds and unfurled the Gospel
standard of peace and good will. The
following Illustrates some features of
his work.
One thousand and forty Sunday
Schools, located in tifty-six different
counties have been organized by Capt.
w. w. Bradshaw. These schools
have furnished instruction for eighty
thousand children. One hundred and
two young men from these schools
have become ministers, seventy eight
churches have been organized and
nine thousand conversions reported.
Visiting the communities where he
started the work, he was glad to find
so many Schools in flouriShing con-
ditiOn after more than twenty years
Of usefulness. At one point promi-
nent physician said, Bradshaw this
place is not as you knew it years ago,
when you were around here organiz-
ing those Sunday Schools, l did not
believe they would amount to any
thing. But they are monuments
which will last forever. Instead of
this being one of the worst places in
the state, it is now as good as the best.
L have practiced through ehis section
for thirty-five years and know what
it was then, and what it is to day."

piled to the schools of our other mis-
SionarieS.

phia, Pa, gives copy of the resolu-
tion adopted by the Board of Mana

AMENDMENT No. l3
UPHELD BY COURT
AFFlRMS DECISION OF LOWER
COURT IN LEGISLATIVE LIMIT
CASE.
INJUNCTION ALSO DISSOLVED
Constitution Is Paramount, say judges,
and Action Of Officers Have
no Effect

western Newspape: Union News Service.
Little Rock.-The supreme Court up.
held the validity of Amendment No. 13
to the state constitution, limiting the
sessions of the general assembly to 60
days, the opinion being handed down
by Justice Hart.
Later in the day, the two branches
OF the legislature met in joint session,
canvassed the vote on the amendment
as cast at the recent general election,
and reclared it adopted.
The question decided by the su-
preme court has originated in the Pu-
laski Chancery Court. where Represen.
tatlVe j. Love Grant of Jackson county
flled a petition for mandamus to re-
strain the speaker of the house from
canvassing the vote on the amend.
ment on the ground that the amend.
ment had not been advertised in ac-
cordance with the law.
The lower court declared the amend.
ment had been adopted legally and dis
solved the injunction, which Judgment
was affirmed by the supreme court.
The court admitted that the chan
Gerry court is without jurisdiction in The
cause, but holds that the constitution
IS the paramount law and that it is
rot conclusive on the question that
the adoption of an amendment must
be declared by the speaker and pso-
claimed by the governor, which Is
done for the purpose of informing
the people of change in the consti-
tuition.

NO. 23

The introduction of bills at the end
of the fourth week of the session had
reached POI in the house, and 156 in
the senate, besides large number of
resolutions of various kinds, from
granting woman suffrage to providing
that the residents of Arkansas shall
be known as "Arkansawyers" instead
OF "Arkansans," which, the author, Mr..
Laney, said sounded too much like
Kansans.
The session is half gone, and while
there have been few genral bills pass
cd, large number of local bills have
been gotten out of the way, and much
preliminary work has been done to-
ward preparing many important meas
ures for final consideration. Many OF
the appropriation bills have already
been introduced, and at least one, that
appropriating s1,300,0O0 for the pay
ment of Confederate pensions, has
passed the house.
