GOOD ROADS MEETINGS
COMMANDING INTEREST

County Judge Jno. b. Wilson and
County Road Engineer T. II. Benton
went to Cool Springs Monday to be
present at the first of the series of
Good Roads Meetings to be held
throughout the county this Week, as
announced in The Herald the past
three issues. A very interesting
meeting was held at Cool Springs
from 8 to IL O'Clock a. nj.
They went from there to Hope
well in the afternoon and to Rock
port at night. A meeting was held
at Equality yesterday morning and
at Centertown in the afternoon.
Much interest is being manifested
and much good will result from
these meetings.
The County Judge. Road Engin-
eer and each Justice of the Peace
deserve much credit for the interest
manifested in public road improve
ment throughout the county.
County Judge Wilson and County
Road Engineer Benton will attend
each meeting scheduled to run
throughout the week, ending with a
meeting at Cromwell next Saturday
afternoon. Some of the eight JUS
tees of the Peace will be in attend
ance at each meeting and it is hop
ed that these meetings will be well
attended by the farmers, business
and professional men throughout
the county, thus assuring a general
awakening of a spirit for better
roads in Ohio county.
This end can only be attained by
personal sacrifice on the part of ev-
eryone, for the financial condition
OF the county is such that the money
available for the working of the
roads is necessarily limited, but il
this is supplemented by liberal do
nations in cash or work, the public
roads can soon be put in fine cOndi-
ton, thereby benefiting everybody.

KENTUCKY DERBY WILL
Be WORTH A FORTUNE
This Year-JOckey Club Decides
To Add SIO;OOOiTo
The Event.

Louisville, Ky, Feb. 9.-The Ken
lucky Derby for 1914 will be the
richest Derby ever run in Kentucky
The New Louisville Jockey Club
has decided to add $4,000 to the
classic. which is the largest amount
that has ever been added since the
first Derby was run>jn 1875. The
money added has been, as a rule,
$4,000 or $1,000, and $4,000 has
been the maximum.
With the usual number of entries,
the $4,000 added will bring the to-
tai value of the Derby to $4,000 or
$4,000 and will make the race
worth to the winning horse between
$4,000 and $4,000.
With this rich prize to strive for,
the turfmen of the State will be
keener than ever to produce a three
year-old that can put his name on
the list of Kentucky Derby winners.
The increase in the value of the
Derby will not affect the Endurance
race, which is the feature of the fall
meeting. This will be continued at
four miles and will continue to be
one of the richest prizes of the turf.
The commission believes that the
trainers will give their Endurance
candidates the proper training for
the long journey and thus develop
the stamina which is one of the
chief objects of the Endurance race.

A health officer in Louisville. TAX
ing cognizance of the recent out
break of smallpox in the Kentucky
Legislature and fearing, as he says,
of its spread into Louisville, urges
everybody to be vaccinated, closing
his warning with the assertion: 1T
will certainly prevent the disease,
and is perfectly safe procedure.
He is badly mistaken in this conten-
ton. History of the disease has
proven that vaccination will not
certainly prevent the disease" and
that it is not "a perfectly safe pro-
cedure." Vaccination is all right
for those who want it, but plain his
tory should be kept in mind.

BEGINNING OF THE END
IN THE MEXICO MATTER
rhe Louisville Herald saws:


The approval with which Presi-
dent Wilson's abrogation of the Taft
attitude toward Mexico has been re-
oeived is altogether remarkable.
When Republicans of the standing
and responsibility of Senators Lodge
and Root are found applauding the
stand of Democratic Chief Execu-
tive, then can all the world under
stand that the American people are
back of their President
And it is important that such
should be the case, that it should be
made clear everywhere and to all
nations that not an Impulse, but a
steady and studied popular sentjTen
is behind this expression of Ameri-
can ideas. There is no enthusiasm
in this country for one side or the
other in the Mexican miX-up. There
is, first and last, well-defined con-
ing about the actual situation, and
that the news that does trickle
through is garbled and doctored. We
can watch from afar, but there is no
certainty that we are not provided
with gallery of a show that is I'M
real.
But some things are certain. What
was bad is become infinitely worse.
The economic situation in Mexico is
fast growing desperate; it engages,
and it has a right to engage, the
serious attention of European gov
ernments; evaporation is a condi-
tion that we can not pretend to ig-
more on the part or those to whom
our honor is engaged.
Europe, however. approves. States
men are mainly surprised at our pa
thence, and Huerta, drinking his GER
VEGA at cafe, is understood to be
considering timetables. The end is
brought measurably nearer. So much
seems certain.

We notice that the Endurance
Race will be run at the Kentucky
Derby again this year. II was
hoped by those who have a due re-
gard for that noble animal, the
horse, and who possess humanita-
rian views of any degree what
ever. that this event would be drop
ped from Kentucky's classic race
meet. II is a species of cruelty and
a relic of barbarism that has no
place in modern equine speed con-
tests. Usually the winner or its OPP
ponents either die at the goal or are
disabled for life. The Four-Mile
Endurance Race should be abol-
ished.

not speak as leader of the Demo-

fused to shake the Presidents hand

Birth of the Anthem.
Having no communication with the
British ships the Americans did not
know who was victorious until the
dawn broke. Then Key Selling the
glasses turned them on the Fort and
saw the Stars and Stripes still waving
from the flagstaff In a moment of
patriotic excitement he drew an old
letter from his pocket and wrote on
the back of the envelope the words de-
stined to become the national anthem
OF our great nation. As he finished
the first few lines the dawn broke and
he saw the British retreating to their
ships. tie then completed the poem as
the little vessel carried HIM Oack To
Baltimore" Thus the Star-Spangled
Banner was born. Whether it was on
board the "Minden," the Surprise" or
in the American boat makes little diff
ference-its inspiration was on the
occasion of the triumph of American
arms, its stirring, patriotic theme
grew out of the anguish of d true
American soul trembling alternately
with hope and fear at the assault of
the then most powerful nation of the
world, bursting forth at the first
glimpse Of success into noetic de-
Scription of that terrible night, the
words and sentiment of winch 50
touched the American heart that it
became the patriotic hymn "of the
land of the free and the home of the
brave"

Distinguished Ancestry.

Francis Scott Key came from dis
tinguished English ancestry, for it is
asserted by historians that he was a
descendant of John Key, the first poet
laureate of England in 1641. Part of
the kek family emigrated to America,
and about 1870 built a home at st.
Clements Manor, st. Fary's county,
Md, Later, John Ross Key became an
officer in the American army and serv-
ed in the Revolutionary War. His son,
Francis Key, the author of the Star
Spangled Banner, was born August
|, 1873, in Frederick county, Md,
where his parents had been living for
some time. He was educated at old
st. Johns College at Annapolis, Md,
and studied law in that city in the of,
flee of his uncle, Philip Barton Key
In 1901 he commenced to practice law
in Frederick, Nd, but in few years
he removed to Washington, D. c.,
where he was chosen United States
District Attorney. He lived in George
town, close to the Potomac river, the
house being recently torn down after
a long fight by the Key Memorial So
ciety to try to preserve it. At the
time of the writing of the national an
them he was 30 years of age, we'll
known lawyer and poet of no mean
ability. He married Mary Taylor
Lloyd, of Wye House, Talbot county,
Md. Several children blest the union.
Key died at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Charles Howard, in Baltimore, on
January IL, 1S43, at the age of GA
years. His body rested for some time
in st. Paul's Cemetery, Baltimore. In
after years, remembering his oft-ex-
pressed poetic wish "Let me rest
meath the shape of the everlasting
hills" his friends removed his remains
to his native soil and on October l,
1896, they were re-interred in Mount
Olivet Cemetery, at Frederick, Md.
