During the late primary campaign

During the late primary campaign
A. E. Wilson, or some one for him,
procured letter from Mrs. South
at Frankfort, wife of a prominent
Democrat, copies of which were
mailed throughout Kentucky to Re-
publcans. The letter asked them to
vote against Mr.. Ernst because the
late Senator Bradley, Mrs. South's
father, did not like him. The man, or
set of men, guilty of this effort to
keep alive Republican factiOnalism,
by using the name of lady, the
wife OF Democrat, deserves or de-
serve utter contempt, and the can
didate in whose interest it was done
should be defeated on Nov. Sd.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23.
MAGISTRATES INDICATED.

Last spring an Ohio county grand
jury indicted six members OF the old
Fiscal court on the charge of hav-
ing voted for an illegal appropria-
ton. These magistrates were: J. II.
Miles, o. E. Scott, j. l.. Patton. Les
lie Combs, Grant Pollard and j.
G.. Jackson. There was no chance
whatever that these gentlemen
would ever be convicted be-
before a jury, or that their cases
could stand the test to reach a jury.
Yet these men who are as good and
honorable citizens as the county con-
tains were put to expense and hu-
initiation by this prosecution, no
court. These citizens who have suf-
feTed all this worry for nothing have
no recourse. The grand jury is beyond
doubt the result of spite work. The
cases were dismissed by the prosecut-
ing attorney Wednesday in open
court. These men who have suffered
all this worry for nothing have no
recourse. The grand. jury is beyond
their reach in law for false prosecu-
ton, but their yindication is great

in the open. This would effectually
stop the spite work business lhese
indictments were hot Political, as
both Republicans and Democrats
were victims. 1t is also but just to
state that neither the commons
wealth's attorney, Mr.. Ringo, nor the
County Attorney, Mr.. Smith, knew
anything about them until they had
been returned.

more, the buy-a-bale movement has
been a wonderful success and has
spread over the entire country, and

A. f. Wilson says many hard
things about George d. Todd and 9th

young Republican. However, Geo. d.
Todd never turned his back on the
Kentucky farmers and he never in

world by appointing a "scab" as
sistant mine inspector.

Relieving the Cotton Planters.

The announcement last week that
the New York Bankers had subscrib-
ed $4,000. 900 to the cotton pool of
100000 for the relief of the
cotton growers thereby insuring its
success has had a most gratifying
effect on the business throughout the
country. Last year our cotton exports
amounted to practically 100000
900 and of course this tremendous
item bringing that vast sum from
abroad has much to do with the
great prosperity of the country. This
cotton pool with the assistance which
the new Federal Reserve system will
afford will enable the South to get
upon its feet. so that its great pur-
chasing power and consequent valve
as the one-third of the domestic
market of the country will not be
impaired by the threatened calamity
growing out Of the shutting down Of

We have a straight, straight tip
that all is not lovely toward candi-
date Wilson at the Republican State
headquarters in Louisville. Boys, we
hope he will yet keep his
promise and come across. 1t would
be too bad for those who are man
aging his campaign to be compelled
also to vote aginst him on account
of his unreliability. However. If he
keeps this promise it will be the first
one he ever kept, after il got cold.

Cabbage Snakes.
Fl. w. Cuttino,
For Committee.

Some years ago a tennessee doctor
VINO didn't mind getting his name in
the papers, lost a patient He dis
covered that the unfortunate man had
eaten some cabbage the day before
and Sherlock Holmes like. the doc
tor proceeded to his gs rden to examine
his cabbage patch. After a patient
search he found on head of cabbage
long slender worm which he did
not remember ever having seen be-
fore. Aha! cried the scientist | am
hot on the trail of 4 great discov-
cry! In order to verify his theory ne
invaded the cabbage patches of his
neighbors, and there too he found the
unfamiliar worm. About that time
he heard of another man who had
died in neighboring county and he
decided to Investigate" the case. He
found that this man also was fond Of
cabbage and had therefore, in all
probability partaken ot the succulent
leaf.
By this time the innocent worm,
familiar to every student Of zoology,
had assumed the dignfied title of a
cabbage snake and the doctor was
ready for the newspaper reporters.
Obliging publishers in all parts Of the
country copied the teports end the
people read and shuddered. The bot
tom dropped out of the cabbage mar
ket and train loads of perfectly good
cabbage rOtted on the railroad side
tracks. And then they all woke up.
1t was the same way with the ter
rible tales about Coca-Cola. Some one
started report that it was an al
coholic and intoxicating drink and as
q result COca-COla was barred from
the army post exchanges. The manu-
facturer appealed to the War Depart
