she swore, the brick came from
the upstairs porch of the house
where DR.. Grant resides, and tle
doctor was right there.
White witnesses, residents OF

DR.. Grants favcrite amusement
was to sit on his porch on summer
evenings and to hurI brick bats and
tin cans at passing members of the
African race. He also shot at
them with a slingshot, the witnesses

Railroads URderpaid For IL
Carrying U. S. Mail

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 29.-It is
confidently believed by railroad
officials in Georgia that Congress,
before adjourning, will grant
the increased remuneration for
carrying the United States mails
for which the roads Ct the coun-
try have been'pleading for more
than two years.
The matter is we'll under way
and Congress has been presented
with complete statistics to show
how badly the roads are being
underpaid. Even Brandeis, who
can certainly not be considered
an advocate of the railroads, has
admitted that the latter are un-
derpaid by at least ten per cent.
The losses suffered by some of
the railroads under the govern.
ment contract are said to be
enormous, and this is conclusive
ly shown in their reports indicat-
ing actual costs and pay.

HOpkinSville Gets lao Inches
OF Soaking Rains Just
In Time.
NOT YET GENERAL RAINS.
Intense Heat Has Given Way
To Pleasant Summer
Weather.

At last it may be announced that
the drouth, so far as Hopkinsville is
concerned, has been broken by good
rains. While the different showers
extended into parts of the county,
there has been no general rain all
over the county. The first shower
fell Thursday morning at 7:4O and
it rain steadily for 80 minutes. There
were several sprinkles during the
day and another good rain during
Thursday night.
The rainfall brought further re-
lief by lowering the intense heat that
had prevailed for a week.
Observer W. F. Randle's report
for the week is as follows:

Issues Formal Statement De-
filming Position Of Suf-
frage Question.
IS FOR STATE AMENDMENT.
Supports NebraSka'S Proposed
Law.-.ReaSOnS for His
Faith.

Washington, July 17.-Secretary
Bryan, in a formal statement came
out for woman suffrage. He declar-
ed he would ask no political right for
himself he was not willing to grant
his wife, and announced he would
support the proposed state constitu-
tional amendment extending h e
franchise to women to be voted on
in Nebraska next November.
Woman, Mr. Bryan said, had
proved herself equal to every re-
sponsibiity imposed on her, and
would not fail society in this emer-
gency. Above all other arguments
for giving her the ballot, he placed
the right of the mother to voice in
the molding of the environment of
her children.

The rainfall Thursday was lao
inches. The two little showers last
week were .35 of an inch, so we have
had since July /, LIS inches. Pre-
vious to this, the last showers were
on June 8 and June II.
HOpkinsville has Jared better than
some parts of the county. The June
rains missed most of the southern
part altogether. The rains Thurs
day did not extend far to the south.
The western and northern parts OF
the county got good showers. There
was light shower in eastern Trigg
and Pembroke was not altogether
overlooked by the weather clerk.
The rains have come too late to
increase the acreage Of tobacco.
About all the farmers can do will be
to replant the small acreage planted
by watering, as the stand is very
bad.
The corn crops will be immensely
benefited and pastures and gardens
will be saved from drying up. The
prospects are good for more rain
and many sections of the state have
shared in the showers.

Four Single Store Rooms To
Be Changed Into Big De-
partment Store.
IMPROVEMENTS UNDER WAY.
Building Enlarged and Equipped
With Every Modern Device
For Convenience.

One of the most extensive build
ing changes of the year has been I'M
dertaken by FrankePs Busy Store
and is now under way. The whole
of the building now occupied by
them is to be remodeled and the
whole building is to be of COM
pletely modern design and structure
Definite plans have not yet been
finished, but the general outline
which the changes will follow has
been decided upon.
The front of the store is to be of
brown hytex brick. There will also
be 20 feet of glass show win lows.
The new front is to be entirelg diff
ferent from the old one and none of
the old material will be used Two
large spacious doors will open into
the street instead of the four sepa-
rate store doors now used. The
plan of the main floor. is to be
greatly changed, making the store
rooms on the first floor more service
able and able to carry a much larger
stock. On the left will remain the
large dry goods department and the
main business office.
This main store room will be about
is #. by lao fit. in size.
The right side of the main floor
will be used for the shoe store. The
gents ready-to. wear department
will be moved into a large basement.
in which an extensive line of mems
clio hing will be kept.
On the second floor the ladies
ready-to-wear and millinery depart
ments will have their rooms Many
changes will be made in these de-
partments. There will be an eleva-
tor put in to carry shoppers from the
different floors. This elevator is to
be large and handsome and one Of
the latest models On the second
floor there will also be ladies' rest
room. The third floor will be used
as a stock room
Work on the excavations for the
basement has already been started
ard the improvements on the other
parts of the stone building will be
taken up as the work progresses.
The west wall of the store will be
moved about AZ feet further back,
thus adding much more room to the
store room.
All the improvements will be the
most modern ones and the whole
building will be fitted up as an up
to-date Department store.
The contract has been let to the
Forbes Manufacturing Co., and the
work is expected to be entirely COM
pleted by about the fifteenth of Oc-
tober.
In order to clear the stock so that
the work of the contractors may pro-
coed without interruption, big Re-
building Sale will be started, begin
ming Thursday, July %.
None of the departments will be
closed during the process Of rebuild
ing, but probably the stoc will be
shifted from the differen store
rooms in order that both the build
ing and the business may continue.
