An Ambitious Road Program.

The state highway commission has
an ambitious program of 10000 miles
of highway to be built in the next
ten years to connect every county
seat and every principal market
place in the state. This system is
said to have the approval of the COM
missioners of the various counties of
the state.
This will be the first complete
highway system planned for the
state as whole. 1t would seem
from the bare statement to be fair
to all sections. On it's face it is the
proper plan. 1t does not centralize
roads in the sections of the three
larger cities. It does not start from
them and radiate to the rest of the
state.
On the contrary, the expenditure,
estimated at 100000 a year, will
be divided equally among all the
counties. Each county under state
supervision will expend it's share
upon it's own roads. This is accord
ing to the Dunn law, and this plan
shows by actual demonstration the
wisdom of the law and it's justice.
Under it's provisions the state COM
mission is able to lay out this pro-
gram for the whole state. The value
of this is seen in the fact that when
these 10000 miles of roads are built
they will interconnect. There will
be no loose ends, no patchwork, not
few miles of good road with a few
miles of bad, or none, to reach an
other stretch of good roadway.
So, when completed, this system
will connect every county seat and
central market with every other
county seat and market by a contin-
uous fine highway. The cost, So, 0OC
mile on the average, assures not a
high-grade nor permanent surface,
but just good road with good
drainage. low grades and a graveled
or rock surface.
It will provide exactly that class
of roads which should come first.
With proper maintenance, for which
the Dunn law also provides, these
roads, after few years of wear, will
be in condition to be made wholly
permanent by adding a concrete
wearing surface that would last,
under country traffic, hundred
years or more.
The first cost will be paid for, one
half by the state from the one-mil
tax, and one-half by the counties, OF

All-Stars Versus Juniors.


So much war talk arose after this
game that Coach Goulding of the
All-Stars signed up his team of more
or less crippled veterans with the
Princeton Juniors, another local
aggregation, for another battle on
the following Sunday. This game
proved an easy proposition for the
All-Stars and they piled up a score
of 81 to 0, scoring six touchdowns
during the game, only one of which
they were able to convert into a
goal. In this game the Juniors were
no match for their heavier and Older

field tore big gains off tackle and
around the ends and punctured the
Junior line almost at will. The
heavier linemen of the All-Stars had
no trouble in breaking through and
spilling up the Junior plays, offtimes
breaking up the plays before they
had time to form. The All-Stars
rushed the Junior right off theil
feet in the beginning of the game
and scored the first touchdown
almost before the crowd knew the
game had started. From this on il
was only a question of how big thu
score was going to be, and the fna

NOTES.

Enough money was realized from
the Thanksgiving game to wipe out
the deficiency in the High School
Athletic associations treasury,
and the total gate receipts from the
Sunday game will be utilized for
window screening at the armory SO
that basket ball can be played there
this winter.
At the Sunday performance Capt.
Johnson gave an impromptu imita-
tion of Ben-Hur chariot race wher
his team of colts bolted at the gate
and did fast half mile on the in
side of the track. Cap. skillful]y
steered his rushing steeds among thu
posts and other obstacles without
mishap and brought them to stol
without any damage, although h!
made the first turn on two wheels
and the crowd expected to see tn
rig go over at any time during tn
exciting dash.
Several of the All-Stars were badl
battered up in the Thursday gam
and it was comical to watch ther
comparing injuries the next day
However, they seemed to be in ez

2 FOOTBALL GAMES
Hot Contest Between High School
and Ali.Star Teams Results
in a SCOreIess Tie.
AlI-Stars Easily Defeat Juniors and
Carry Off Honors In Score of
Thirty-Seven to Cipher.

The Thanksgiving day football
game between the High School team
and the AllStars proved to be a.
hummer and for four periods the
teams fought each other to a stand
still, the final result being a score
less tie, @ to 0. During the play
the tide of battle shifted up and
down the field of play, with first one
team having the best of it and then
the other. The high schools one
best chance to score came in the
early stages of the game, when Full
wiler carried the ball to the ALL
Stars five-yard line for first down,
but in the shadows of their own goal
posts the All-Stars defense stiffened
and the high school attack was
turned back without a score. At
another time Verne Kaliher broke
loose for one of his lodging runs
down The field and sent a thrill
through the crowd when it looked
like a possible touchdown, but be-
tween Morton and Doane the fleet
footed Irishman was brought to
earth without a score. The ALL
Stars also threatened to score on
several occasions and worked the ball
down close enough to the high school
goal posts for drop kick, but the
kicks went bad and they failed to
score by the airline route. One OF
Art Roos' attempts did come so
close though that the ball struck one
of the uprights but turned out in
stead of in, thus saving the nigh
school lads from being scored on.
In the last stages of the game the
heavier line and back6eld Of the
All-Stars began to tell, and when
time was called they had the ball on
the high schools courtyard line, and
a touchdown was almost within
their grasp when time was called
and the game was over.
The play was hard but clean, and
both teams left the field in good
shape with the exception Of the
usual minor bumps and bruises that
are bound to accompany hard
fought football game. So many
deeds of daring and valor were per-
formed on both sides that it would
be unfair to the other players to
mention anyone in particular, so let
it suffice that each player covered
himself with glory land mud) and
fought for the good of his cause like
a. Trojan.

Dark Horse Applicant.

A dark horse has just been uncovered
in the scramble for the Internal Revenue
Collectorship for the Eighth District, in
the person of Judge w. b. Smith, the
veteran Democratic leader of Madison
county. Judge Smith has been quietly
prosecuting his campaign for the ap-
pointment, it is said, and if the matter
gets into a tangle is regarded as a strong
compromise probability. Judge Smith,
according to reports, is pinning his faith
in w. J. Bryan, who is his close friend,
having been the only Democratic eelec-
tor chosen in Kentucky in 1896, and cast
ing Kentucky's lone vote for the Ne

etc.; songs Of both whites and negroes
are desired; mountain songs and ballads
are especially in demand.

''ha' 'nts" ghosts, hoodoo cures and the
like are desired; the negroes have ma.
ny of these.
Legends-Unprinted stories of the Civ
il War times, anecdotes of the period be-
fore the war, duels, feuds and traditions
handed down from Indian days, are all
considered worth saving.
Dialect-Unusual words, words used
in unusual senses in given locality,
and (such as are common in the Ken.
lucky mountains) of old words or mean
ings are desired, also the origin of geo.
graphical names.
The following suggestions are offered
by the society TO those who are willing
to help in the undertaking:
First-Record the material as you
found it, mistakes and all.
Second-lndicate where, when and
from whom you got it, from recitation,
from singing, or from your own mem
ory.
Third-Indicate when, where or from
whom your informant got it.

discovered that the Spalding home was
afre and hurried to the scene. Upon
their arrival, however, the building was
nearly consumed by the flames and ii
was falling in. When 1t was possible to
explore the ruins the children were
found huddled in the cornor burned be-
yond recognition. The origin of the fire
is unknown, but was probably started
by the children playing in the fireplace.
