The Only Practicable Relief.
The resolution of the Chamber OF Com
merce was offered by Samuel w. Fair
child. chairman of the committee on in
ternal trade and improvements. He called
attention to the fact that the Interstate
Commerce Commission already has under
consideration the case of the roads for a
8 per cent. increase and said that with
out such an advance relief from their
growing burdens OF higher wages and
other increased expenditures could not be
secured. Unless such advances were
granted, he said, the roads could not
provide the increased facilities demanded
by the expanding traffic of the country
without dipping into their net earnings.
The Chamber of Commerce, Mr.. Fair
child said. went on record In April, 1912,
as urging in the interests OF the shippers
and the general welfare of the country
that ANY necessary readjustment of
freight rates he made without further
curtalling the revenue Of the railways,

1.-TWO OLD CONFEDERATES"
All School Auditorium, Feb'y. 18th.

An attraction of unusual interest is
In store for the people of this city and
community when 1.-TWO Old Confede-
rates" and The Old Southern Quar-
tette" will be presented at the School
Auditorium on Thursday night, Feb'y.
18th. The Two Confederates who
followed "Marse Bob Lee through the
trying days of 81 to GA are genuine
type of the old Virginia country gentle
men of anti bellum days.
In their stories and songs they give.
as only they can give, a true picture of
the good old times on the Southern
plantation. They are assisted in their
performance by quartette of genuine
Virginia negroes, who sing the old
time songs just as they use to sing
them around their cabin doors or in the
cotton fields. One critic has said of
this qnartette of negroes; They look
like farm hands and sing like Carusos'.
The entire performance is as enter
tanning and amusing as any minstrel
show and as instructive as we'll writ
ten history. At all their performances
the two old Confederates are glad to
have as their personal guests on the
stage, in uniform, any of the boys who
followed Grant or Lee. General
admission, 35 and so cents.

Senator Bacon Of Georgia, One OF The
Ablest Men In National Congress,
Dies In Washington.

Senator Augustus Octavius Bacon,
member of the United States Senate
from Georgia, died in a Washington
hospital last Saturday of what was
diagnosed as blood clot of the heart,
Senator Bacon had been a member of
that body for almost nineteen years.
He was the first United States Senator
to be elected by the vote of the people
under the Seventeenth Constitutional
Amendment. He has been Chairman
of the Foreign Relations Committee
since the ascendency of the Democratic
party to power in March 1918, and was
considered one of the main supports of
the administration.
No complications will arise as to
Senator Bacon's successor, as the
Georgia Legislature was called into
special session Immediately after the
amendment had been proclaimed, and
passed an act enabling the governor of
the state to make an appointment to
fill temporary vacancy. This law
was passed upon the advice of Senator
Bacon himself and makes impossible
such complications as arose in Maryland
and Alabama recently.

Vandalism In Public Places.

There is nothing more discreditable
to the American people than vandalism
in public places. 1t is not characters
tic of boys only, but extends to men
and women of more mature age. Boys
throw rocks at street lamps. They
Systematically destroy street signs.
They break windows of any empty
houses. They never stop to think that
they have an interest in some of these
things or that they are in any way de-
stroying property. We know an in
cendiary is criminal and the boys know
it. The boy who breaks a street lamp
or destroys street sign or Injuries a
school building is just as much a Grim
inal in fact, if not in law, as the boy
who destroys such things through fire.
We are justly proud of our magnifici-
ent school building and it ought to be
in the care and keeping of every self
respecting citizen, and those who are
not self-respecting ought to be punish
ed for any act of vandalism, as we pun
ish the incendiary.

Purciful.

Mrs. Mary Purciful died at her home
near Gainesville on last Monday and
her remains were inferred in the Lam
caster cemetery on Tuesday. Mrs.
Purciful was rs years of age and her
death was due to the infirmities incId-
ent to her advanced years. She is
survived by two childran, Monroe Pur-
ciful and Moses Cottrell. both of whom
made their home with her. Mrs. Pur-
ciful claimed to have been lineal de-
cendant of Davy Crockett. She came
to this county from Claibourne county
Tenn, many years ago and bought
farm near town on or near the Lexing-
ton pike, afterward moving to Lancas-
ter, where she purchased property.
Some few months ago she purchased
and moved to a small farm near
Gainesville. Mrs. Purciful was a
splendid woman, devoted to her home
and family. and had great number of
friends throughout the county who will
grieve at the news of her death.

Fuel Run Short.

During the severe weather of last
Friday and Saturday a great many
country people found it impossible to
get their stock to blacksmith shop to
have them rough shod, some of these
were caught without sufficient fuel on
hand to tide them over the rough
weather. In such instances they tele-
phoned to town to local dealers and
implored them to look up some kind of
team and send them a supply of fuel,
regardless of expense. Even in town
teams were not so readily available,
and every rough shod horse was press
ed into service. The most urgent of
the appeals from the country We're
com piled with. in one instance a local
dealer sent load of coal four miles in
the country to relieve the distress of a
family that could not reach a black
smith shop with their horses.

Let Us Hope It's True.

We are neither prophet or the son
of a prophet, and in this instance when
we do dare voice phrophecy, our only
hope is that we may prove as uneering
as the grounding. 1t does look to US
as if we were in for prosperous year.
First we are in the midst of democratic
administration that is proving highly
satisfying to the great majority of the
people; we stand good chance of be-
ing rid of the Kentucky Legislature by
March 10th; the farmer is further ahead
with his farm work than in many years;
Notwithstanding the scarcity and high
price of food, farm stock is in good con-
dition; wheat and grass under splendid
are in fine condition and give
promise of splendid crops, and lastly,
we believe that when this ''spell" of
weather breaks up, We may expect the
advent of spring, and the fruits may
bud forth without fear of being killed
by late frost or freeze.

Smallpox Disappearing

In the course of time there will be
no smallpox among civilized nations.
There is no excuse for any smallpox
now among educated people; but there
are certain people who can only be
educated by fear. They refuse to listen
to teachers, to preachers. to physicians.
They refuse to submit to the incon-
venience of few days. They invite
illness and they invite the spread of
contagion, and then when it comes they
are panicstricken.
1t is>an occasion especially for in
viting the aid of the Legislature. Vac
cination ought to be mandatory. The
avenues through which evasion comes
ought to Re closed. Men may be per-
mitted to kill themselves if they will,
to commit suicide; but they ought not
to me permitted to imperil the life and
health of other people by their own
obstinacy or, if you prefer, by their
own superior intelligence running
counter to the universal record.

HarOdsburg Making War On The Boot

The City of Harrodsburg is in the
throes of battle to the death with the
bootleggers who infest the community,
and the outlook seems to be that the
latter will be completely annihilated be-
fore the officers and citizens are through
with them. On last Saturday Judge
McGarver held an all day session of
police court and succeeded in disposlng
of cases against % offenders along this
line. His fines for the day amounted
to over $1,000 with accompanying Jail
sentences to 1900 days. On the follow
ing Sunday afternoon the good people
of the community held an Indignation
meeting prompted by the woeful state
of affairs. The meeting was we'll at

commencing the officers for their
activity in endeavoring to break up the
illegal traffic in booze, and pledging
them their earnest and unqualified sup
port in their efforts.
