IS MORRISVILLB SATISFIED
The Evidence Is Convincing. The Testl-
nonY Open 10 Inyestiuailon

Before a statement can be accepted
here, it must be supported by local testi-
mony-by the evidence of some one re-
siding in Morrisville. Statements from
unknown people in remote places, may
be true, but we cannot prove them. Here
is statement by MorrisviIle resident:
John NJ. Miles, 2S Main street. Morris

suffered from attacks of backache. Dur

were irregular in passage and unnatural.

May the War Of Nations Bring Freedom from
Monarctial Governments
BY RossIE BENNETT ROONEY

BY RoSsIE BENNETT ROONEY
Servia, little Serva,
You set ablaze the world
With your spark of indignation
Wrathfully at Moharchs hurled
Kinding smoldering elements
Of long duration time
Till the bursting ire OF nations
Wall forth in angry chime.
To coming generations
1t will ever leave lis srngs
Pointing in its way
To the oppressive rule OF kings.
Our nations suppliant call for peace
From the ruling powers above
That slavlsh shackles cleave apart
Replaced by wrealbs of love
That nations may command respect
From the mass they seek control
Thru justifiable laws of lite and love
Become leaders of the whole.
May they sever the slavsh shackles
That warp their lives as men,
For the survivors of these nations
And those yet to be burn of them,
They who pay such debts accruing,
Bonding for years to come,
Yet kept from servile bondage,
If freedoms for them won.
The march of progress has been slow
AS history's darkened pages show,
But progress with its guardian light
Has brought its wonders to our sight,
So thought and act may now unite
And smite the wrong, hold fast the
right.
Out of the smoldering ruins left
OF nations, homes and lives bereft,
Will rise, we trust, a world humane.
Showing by deed as well as name,
What life is worth, when men can feel
T. cir right of life in a way that's real

BOY SLAIN BY COUSIN.

John Belcher was shot to death at
Shelby Gap last Friday, and his cou-
sins, George Belcher dummy, Barton
and Harrison Belcher are charged with
the crime. The victim was the 20
year old son Of George w. Belcher, a
farmer of Shelby Gap.
According to the reports of the ira
gedy reaching here, John Belcher, the
victim, had had a quarrel and first
fight with his alleged slayers the day
before. John was at work near the
c. c. Greer store the afternoon of last
Friday, it is said, when the three
cousins came along. George fired up
on him, according to the story, and
being unarmed he tried to get behind
the corner of building, but deadly
fire was poured in upon him before he
could reach shelter. He died 35 min
utes later from his injuries, and Har-
rison and Barton Belcher were placed
under arrest, but George, who is
charged with the shooting, made his
escape.
Harrison and Barton were brought
to Pikeville and admitted to bail in the
sum Of $4,000 each.

WEIGHT AND MEASURE
ORDINANCE.

At the Monday night session of the
Council a weight land measure ordi-
nance was enacted for the regulation
of the sale Of coal, ice, etc. within the
city limits. This act was modelled on
the statute, and copies the statutory
penalty, which is four dollars for each
time missioner is sold a short weight
or measure of these articles. This APP
plies to merchants in the sale of their
goods and country produce, in buying
as well as selling, the same as it does
to the coal and ice companies doing
business in Pikeville.
An ordinance was also passed pro-
hibiting the operation of motor vehicles
or drays for profit unless the same are
provided with city license. This IL
cense was fixed at $500. All motors
and carriages operated strictly for pri-
vate use have not been made the sub
ject OF license. These two enactments
become effective at once.

SUCCESSFUL INSTITUTE.

Pike county school authorities have
adopted the new idea of Capitalization
for the location and building of its
rural schools in the future. Formerly
1t was the practice to cut large school
districts in two and build several small
school houses within easy reach Of
everyone, with. view to convenience
and to encourage attendance. AS this
plan only succeeded in increasing the
school expense and producing very
poor class of work, the plan has been
discarded in favor of consolidating
several small districts and building one
large school house with several rooms,
so that a corps of teachers may be en-
ployed. This will afford opportunity
The Big Sandy news. [volume] (Louisa, Ky.) 1885-1929, 1914-07-24

to pay the sum it cost; District Super
intendent Ackman had the promise of
outside help sufficient to meet the pay
ment of the entire cost OF the building;
but part of the local fund and part Of
the foreign fund failed to materialize,
and the creditors instituted suits which
resulted in the sale of the magnificent
pile.
The pastor, Rev. Samuel Linge, for
merly of Michigan, has moved with his
family to Wilmore. KY, where he is
filling another appointment. They left
