Mr.. Edwin Rhorer, son of Hon
M. H. Rhorer, is ali applicant
for the post-ofice at Middlesboro,
and his friends throughout the
Eleventh Congressional district,
are anxious for him to receive
the appointment. He comes
from Democratic families on both
sides, and since he reached his
majority he has been active in
every campaign for the success
of the Democratic ticket. He
has not only been a worker in
the ranks himself, but his broth
ers and father have spent their
time and means to promote the
interest of Democratic principles.
This is the first time Mr.. Rhorer
has ever asked the administra-
ton for position, and his many
friends feel that his claim should
be recognized. He is a yonng
man Of correct habits, possess
ing attainments that peculiarly
fit him for a postmaster. His
many Adair county fri N d S

pointment, and we feel sure that
to select him the administration
would make no mistake. Honor

The Glasgow Times of the 3rd
inst, contained a surprise for the
Democrats of Adair-tbe an
nouncement that Judge Samuel
E. Jones would not be a candi-
date for Appellate Judge in the
Third district. For more than a
year his name had been promi-
nently mentioned in connection
with the race, and his friends
generally believed that he would
enter the contest for the Demo-
cratic nomination. There is not
a doubt but he would have been
a formidable candidate, his abil-
ity for the place never having
been called in question. He has
served the 10th Judicial district
as the Judge of the Circuit court
for several terms, and has been
very satisfactory Judge for all
the people. AS Jurist he stands
high and is the peer of any man
in this section Of Kentucky.
Judge Jones is not generally &C
quainted in this immediate Sec
ton, but those who know him
well, speak of him as being with
out a stain and having all the
elements which go to make up a
fair and impartial Judge. Eight
years ago, when his name was
mentioned for the Appellate
bench, this county was outspok-
en- for him, and at this time, al
though the voters of this section
were unanimously for our own
candidate, the Hon. Rollin Hurt,
there was no feeling, except one
Of kindness, for Judge Jones.
The Glasgow Times intimates
strongly that Judge Jones will
stand for reelection to his pres
ent position, and from the best in
formation we have, he will have
no opposition, as he is exceeding
ly popular in every county COM
posing the district.

many people begin to manifest a
lively interest in the roads. It
is not difficult to understand why
the interest in the road question
arises at this particular time. The
agitation starts in the mud-bound
communities. The farmer has
some grain he wants to get to
market, or he has to move to
move to another farm this year.
The merchants find that trade is
slack, and realize the fact that
the farmers can not come to
town to shop. The physician,
the liveryman, the rural mail
carriers, the teamsters, and all
who are compelled to use the
highways slop about and fight
the mud. When the roads get
dry and people can begin to
travel in automobiles, buggies,
and other vehicles, they think

every avenue of enterprise is
opening new opportunities for
intelligent, active people, prob
ably none equals the farm. The
fact that every farm product has
increased in price, that the world
is not over supplied, that the
larger part of productive land is
under private control, and but
little yet to be parceled out to
farm owners, ought to impress
every farmer of the Importance,
of the necessity of intense farm
ing. From the earth mans sup
plies must come, and since the
demand for agricultural products
is increasing all the while, it is a
plain fac: that the supplies must
increase to maintain even pres
ent high prices. Should the out
put of the farms remain a few
years as they are now, or should
there be a shrinkage, the effect
on prices would become extreme
ly burdensome to the average
wage Garner. The solution of
the situation as we see it, and
the most profitable one to the
farmer and the just one to pos
terity is the building and devel-
oping the productive powers of
the land. 1t is not what you at
tempt to do, but what you really
accomplish, that adds profit and
pleasure. The man who makes
more corn on five acres, land be-
ing equal, is doing much more
good for himself and the world
than the one who eultivates ten
acres. This is now the accept
ed theory throughout the coun-
try, and leading agriculturalists
are doing all within their power
to stir up, educate and induce
farmers everywhere, to adopt
scientific methods. The appeal
is made through agricultural pa
pers, by encouragement from
State and Nation. Many coun.
ties in the various States are
awake to the real situation, and
have heartily joined in the move
ment by employing experts in
agriculture to demonstrate their
theories and to awaken the aver
age farmer to the great possibil-
tiles easy within his reach.
Their methods reduced to plain
facts, are, build your land and
increase your production make
two ears of corn grow where on
ly one heretofore has grown. 1t
is the purpose of the farm dem
onstrater to show how this can
be done, and to induce thefarm-
er 10 do it. Since this county
has no demonstration, since it
says to the world that our farm
ers know their business, that
they are capable of handling the
situation we trust that evidence
to warrant this position, will be
abundant next fall. Good farm
ing is good sense theoretically
applied within the lines that
bring the very best results. 1t
is not so much what man
knows as what he does that pro-
duce results, and since the wide
spread of agricultural papers and
the intelligent lecturers sent out
by the agricultural department,

DISTRICT CONFERENCE

Laymen Take Center of Sage and

The district conference of the Ari- zona District M. E. Church, South which has been in session at Cart wright for the past three days, closed yesterday afternoon. The day was given over to largely to the discus sions of the problems of the church as the laymen have to tackle them and in consequence the program bore such names as A. F. Jones, well known as a member, steward and trustee of the Phoenix church. and w. L. Feel. who has filled the same sort of capacities in the Bethel charge for years.
 MT. Jones discussed "The Moral Side of the Financial. Deficit while Mr Feel handled "A Fuller Prayer Life for Our People" Both gentle men made excellent speeches.
 Rev. R. H. Fields, who is both county missionary and pastor of the Liberty church, preached the mid day sermon on the subject of Church Extension" MT Fields has had so much experience in the pioneer work of church building that he speaks with authority upon the subject ol the extension of the church building enterprises.
 The evening session of the confer ence was dispensed with in order that the members might avail them selves of the opportunity to visit Central church and enjoy the splen- did rendition of "The CrucifiXion" by the Phoenix Choral Society there in the evening.

Prosecution Fails to Stick Prison Secretary for Libel Against Colonel Thomas Weedin-Case Has Some Peculiar Angles

Because R. G. Wanslee had made Ov ertures toward retracting his statement that Colonel Thomas Weedin had con fiscated certain sewer pipe, supposed to belong to the city of Florence or the state of Arizona, the jury in the crim- inal libel trial against the prisons sec retary returned d verdict of not guilty This took place in the Pinal county court, with Judge Cooper presiding.
 Weedin returned from Florence last night. and when seen by Republican reporter was quite willing to talk about the case. He lays the blame for the failure of the case which he supported against Wanslee to the fact the court would not permit the prosecution to introduce evidence to show title to the cement pipe in question.
 The court maintained that I was not on trial and that it was concerned only with the libel and not with a
 larceny charge"
 A few questions brought out the his tory of the case, as remembered by the colonel
 Tom Rynning made the pipe way back wonder for the state. The plan was originally to construct a sewer from the prison to the river. The city | of Florence entered into a contract | with the state specifying that it should I be included in the plan. The proposi- 1 ton was that the city should pay for
 the pipe and the state furnish the labor 1 .Ia the original survey was to be ] naiG hy the city and half by the state, i and all subsequent engineering was to 1 be carried on by the state. The council of Florence bought the pipe, paying $500 for it to the board
 of control Dr. Broadway as mayor signed the papers, and the warrant was
 cashed and returned. As the next mayor, Weedin got hold of the warrant and still owns it.
 owing to the mutiny of the prisoners 1 the work was not started until July or August following the April in which the agreement was made. Weedin went to Lou Miller. the convict surveyor ! who was building the line and asked him to reject all bad or broken pipe Miller agreed. and in building the line l uD as lar dS tDt COuHlN uOSplldl 'l
 Main street, rejected several hundred
 feet of pipe.
 i While the work was being delayed ! by rains, the pipe lay along the ditch, where it was not being improved by | the attentions of small boys armed
 with rocks. It was to protect the prop
 erty of the city that the council ord cred the marshal to remove it. It hap
 pened that Weedin owned a big back yard in which he used to store city
 tools, and it was here that the marshal
 stored the extra pipe.
 | Later Miller reported he had run out
 of supplies, and on promising to use
 extra care in joining the pipe, Weedin allowed him to take some of the bat | tered joints. Three wagon loads were hauled away and used in connecting
 the city and penitentiary. Most of
 the rest was used by the city in mak- ! ing culverts
 The subject was then dropped until Ton March 30 Weedin became a candi-
