death at o'clock Sunday morning at

His death was not unexpected, had
been afflicted with Bright's disease for

had long since realized that the end was
not far off. The doctor knew his own
condition and faced death as christian
soldier He was born at Rose Hill, Va,

sixty-sixth year. In 1878, soon after

An OpenLetter to Democrats.

Col Bennett II. Young in his opening
speech, made at Newcastle. KY, on the
9th of July, states that it was
persistently rumored and constantly
circulated in Woodford county, the
county of Mr.. Camden's residence, that
Mr.. Camden, our present U. S. Senator,
the appointee of Gov. McCreary, had
never supported w. ]. Bryan in any race
he had made for the Presidency of the
United States"
The Democrats of Kentucky have the
right to know if this is true. If this is
true, how can Mr.. Camden ask the DEM
ocrats of Kentucky to support him? The
appointment by Gov. McCreary should
not appeal to the Democrats Of this
State because everybody knows why
that was done. If Mr.. Camden voted
against Mr.. Bryan, or failed TO vote for
him, for the three times he was nomi
mated for that Office by the Democrats
of the country, in convention assembled,
ought he, Mr.. Camden, to be supported
by the Democrats of the State for the
high place he now seeks?
What assurance has he given US that
he will support the nominee of the par
ty in 1916? II his opposition to Mr..
Bryan was not personal, then Mr.. Cam
den must have been unwilling to sup
port the principles set out in the DEM
ocratic platforms on which Mr. Bryan
made his races.
If this is true, ought Mr.. Camden to
represent the Democrats of Ketucky in
the U. S. Senate? 1t may be we'll ask
| ed, what service has he rendered the
Democratic party? Has he ever filled
any office? Has he ever been mem Der
of the Legislature, or of the State Sem
ate, or of Congress? Has he ever taken
an active part in helping the Democrats
TO hold the Statef 1t has been given out
that he did make pecuniary contribu-
ton TO help in the last State race.
Is that one contribution given TO aid
Gov McCreary and the other candidates
for State offices in that race good and
sufficient reason to send Mr.. Camden
to the U. s. Senate? We think not. We
have been fighting for 40 years TO pre-
vent just such result.
| Mr.. Camden, from what we have
heard of him, is quiet, upright, good
citizen; but from a party standpoint he
does not deserve the place which hi
seeks. He comes to US from another
State; he is the son of very rich father
raised in the lap of luxury and has neve
been brought in touch with the wishe
and wants of his fellowman He ha
failed up to this time to deny the rumo
that he voted against, or failed to vot
: for, Mr.. Bryan in the races he made TO
President, and yet he now asks the Dem

DrCuth Broken.

The drouth, which has prevailed over
Central Kentucky and to some extent
over the entire State, has at last come to
an end in most sections. Our exchanges
report rains in number of counties that
had been suffering. In Madison good
rains came in some sections on Monday
night and slight rains in other sections.
Yesterday more rain fell, and by the
time this reaches your eyeit is prob
able that every section of this and neigh
boring counties will have had relief from
the drouth that had assumed alarming
proportions.

Credit to Our Boys---In Camp
At Fort Springs.

The boys of the local company of Ken
lucky National Guards arrived home on
Friday evening feeling gay and fine af-
ter ten days encampment at Blue Grass
Park, Lexington. They report big
time and greatly benefited in many
ways as the result of instructions receiv-
ed while there. Our boys, we are in
formed, played notable part in the
Versailles Battle, forming the rear guard
both in going to and coming from that
city. Being in the rear of the main
body prevented them from getting into
the first days fight, but returning the
next day 10 camp the rear guard of the
defending regiment, resulting in their
having to fight all the way from Yer
sailles to the camp, holding the attack
ing forces in check, enabling their regi-
ment to proceed on to Fort Springs,
where the final stand was made. Ser
geant Hugh Culton and Boyd Sandlin,
detailed from the Richmond company as
scouts, were highly commended by Col.
Colston for the fine work they did in To-
eating the enemy.
The Richmond company was consid-
cred by far the best body OF men in the
camp, which is borne out by the high
percentage they received at the hands
of the United States officers in charge.
They were the most orderly company on
the grounds, both as a whole and indi-
vidually, not a man of them having to
be corrected OF reprimanded during the
stay. They were the only company who
turned out in full at the preaching SER
vices cond ucted at the the Y. M. G. A.

Quoted by the boys themselves in their

for the manner in which they were abls
to handle their squads. Corporals of thu

Whose English Is Worse?

4 slipshod use of English has been a
favorite charge against American writ
ers by their English cousins. The lat
est accusation is that we have gore so
far as to force the English themselves
to use our slang. But DR.. Ros3ter
johnson has no difficulty in showing
that even classic English writes are
guilty of clumsy and incorrect usages.
If this is the case with makers of Eng
lish in the slow and careful process
Of book writing, the critic should not
be quite so captious concerning the
slangy or faulty English that creeps
into the American newspaper and
periodical produced under degree Of
pressure entirely foreign to a writer
of books. DR.. Johnson ranges over the
field of literature and shows by strik-
iEg examples how Macaulay, Ruskin.
Pc Quincy. Tennyson. Lncky. Thac-
kCray. Hallam and many others have
split their infinitives, separated verbs
hv modifying words put in the wrong
place. and dotted their writing with
various awkward. ill-contrived and
ambiguous eXpressiOns.-Leslie's.
