See the Agricultural Train.

On July 10Th the Agricultural
College and Experiment Station
will send from Lexington an agri-
cultural special train which will
traverse Eastern Kentucky. This
section is not so well adapted to
crops that require broad acres
but there is no better section on
earth for the production of choice
fruit and for poultry raising.
Considering these facts the train
is to be especially equipped to
give instruction regarding the
raising of fruits and vegetables
and in poultry production.
The Bureau of Forestry at
Washington has become inter
ested in the proposition and is
lending exhibits, ETC., and there
will he men to lecture on various
phases of the forest interests.
1t is a sad fact that Eastern
Kentucky fails to produce enough
food products to supply its own
people and one object of the
special train is to awaken an in
terest in providing a better as
sortment and greater quantity of
fruits and vegetables for home
consumption as vel I as for eX-
port. If this state of affairs can
be brought about, the drain up
on the money earnings of the av-
erage family will be lessened and
an additional source of revenue
provided.
Everybody is welcome to visit
this train, see the exhibits and
hear the lectures. 1t will be at
Torrent at 4:00p. m. ON July %;
Stanton at 5 100 p. m. on July %;
Clay City at 6:45 p. m. on July
% and az s 100 a. m. on July

and a half at each place.

WHICH ARE YOU FOR?
70 Years Young.

Governor James Bennett Nc
Creary is rs years old today, or
rather, one should say, rs years
"yeune, nyfor like Lillian Russell
he seems to have discovered the
Fountain of Eternal Youth, which
Ponce de-Leon searched for in
vain. At any rate the latest pic
lures of the Governor, which are
appearing in the newspapers
now, show him looking as young
as when he was the States Chief
Executive thirty-fve years ago.
If this doesn't prove that the
Governor has bathed in the fab
led fountain, it has at any rate
had the effect of convincing his
friends that he has not superan-
nuated by any manner of means.
Gladstone was still a power in
public life at so, and the friends
of the Madison county statesman
aver that he, too, is like old
wine-imprCves with age. Elk.

A Mystery.

From some unexplainable cause
the figures in a local reader for
Hardwick and Company got jun
gied up and made the prices they
were intending to make on diff
fcrent articles unreasonably high.
The same thing aieo happened in
a local of another merchant in
which prices were quoted. These
ads first appeared right, but lat
er the figures were changed in a
manner unknown to those who
work in this shop. We shall try
to keep a little closer lookout in
tins particular in the future, and
try to learn where the trouble
comes in.

Company's Bad Too.

In defending his record as u
whiskey man in Congress, Mr..
Cantrill says:
81 am standing by my leaders ;.
| am standing by the great Sena-
tor from Kentucky, theHOnorable
Ollie James, one of the greatest
orators In the American Congress,
and one of closest friends of the
President in Washington today"
He also stood toe to toe with
Bradley, Republican Senator,
and against five Democratic Con-
gressmen from Kentucky, while
he was with only three others.
Ollie James, when in Congress,
introduced a bill to prohibit the
shipment of liquor into local OPP
ton territory, and his stand that
way beat Paynter, his opponent
off the track, but just as soon as
he had an opportunity to vote for
the legislation he introduced, b"
changed and voted a straight
whiskey vote. Why did Ollie
change? Cantrill voted with
this changed man and boasts Of
it. Where is the honor in doinG
so? And Ollie James will be de-
teated when his time comes JUST
as Cantrill will be defeated, now
that his time is here.

Some Democrats are awful. "a.
frald of getting prohibition
plank in the party platform.
They say it will kill the party
forever. Kansas never but once
elected a Democratic Governor.
He was elected then over a Re.
publican because the Republican
said he would wink at the prohi-
bition laws of Kansas, and the
Democratic nominee said he
would enforce the prohibition
laws of the State. A RepublI'
can Governor has twice been @.
lected in Tennessee for the sole
reason that he was true to the
cause of prohibition and the
Democratic nominee was not.
Our observation Is that the
party iDdorsing prohibition al
ways gets the votes. Prohibition
is the strongest drawing card that
can be placed in any party plat
form.

LAWRENCE H. PENNINGTON Member Board of Revenue and Acting
 Secretary

'
 Lawrence H. Penning is probably the youngest man ever elected on a board of revenue of the county. But far rom his youth being a handicap, it has en- abled him to advocate and inaugurate some "up-to-now' methods in the hand ling of the county's business. Particu- larly in the manner of paying off the road hands did MT. Pennington bring about a needed reform, the board paying the hands direct at the point where they are at work, thus obviating the necessity of their coming to town formerly be- sides giving the committee from the board of revenue the opportunity to view and inspect the quality and quantity of work performed.
 In the matter of working the convicts on the county roads, MT. Pennington has shown great interest and has been of great assistance in insttuting the system of. keeping accounts and, other bookl1eep- ing. In this matter he has been ably as- sisted by the other members of the board particularly Major Cameron He acts as secretary for the board at all it's meet ings. d" ~ '@'
 Mr Penning was born in Tracy City, Tenn. March l. 1883. He came to Ensley in 1898, working as helper and appren- tice machinist during the erection of the steel min. He later went to work al No. mines, Pratt City, beginning as coal Jumper and later promoted to weighman. At the age of 19 he entered the account ing department of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company, starting as timekeeper and was promoted from time to time until at the age of B he was made chief timekeeper for the entire plants of the company at Ensiey, having under his charge a large force of clerks and handling through his office thousands of dollars each month. At the time of his nomination as member of the board of revenue he had been transferred to the operating department of the mammoth plant and held the position as labor statistician. f
 At tn cage of 2s MT. Pennington was nominated a member of the board in the democratic primary and was third in the race. Prior to his nomination he pledged his support to the removal of the convicts from the mines and introduced the reso- lution to that effect soon after he took his seat, and is working hard to- make the system a success. He gives his entire time to the work of the county and De- lieves in doing things in business like manner, and is making close study of condition and needs of the county It is said of him that when the county's sn- terest is at stake he will not play politics and is not afraid to say no"

Dr. Lovelady has always taken an interest in civic affairs and was identi- fled with the municipal life of Pratt City for many years In 1906 he was elected representative from Jefferson county to the state legislature by a large majority, leading the ticket by more than 12G0 votes In 1908 was elected a member of the board of revenue, reelected in 1912 leading the ticket in the primary and was elected as president of the board.
 pr. Lovelady is progressive in his ideas and warmly advocated the removal of the county conNicts from the mines and plac- ing them the upubic roads. At the same time he believed in doing it in d business-like manner and advocated the gradual removal from the mines to the roads. which has thus far proved a success. He is always at his post of duty and one of the most approachable Of men

ment received 465 convicts on the pub lie roads. There were discharged dur ing the year 270.s leaving 195 on hand. There occurred only one death during
 the year, or one fourth of one per cent. There has been very little sickness due to acute disease. only three cases of
 pneumonia, no typhoid fever, a few cases of grippe and malaria. The class of people received accounts for the large and varied number of chronic ailments. with which many are afflicted. By far the greatest cause of the bad physical conditions prevailing in so many is syphilis. There have been quite number of dope fiends received and without eXcep-
 ton, all have improved in health when
 the drug was taken away from them.
 There have occurred only three cases
 of smallpox among the convicts, and
 two cases among the guards. A few
 cases of humps.
 It is easy to see that the outdoor life in the work on the roads is responsi-
 ble for the results as shown In this report, which should be convincing that
 road work is the proper place for this
 class of unfortunates.
 1 wish to say that during the year have not been appealed to by any
 convict because of cruel treatment The food has been wholesome and bountiful.

In point of service Hugh McGeever is the dean of the board of revenue. While 1t has not been continuous, he Is now serving his fourth term having been appointed when the board of rev. enue was submitted in 1908 for the county commissioners. He was re- elected for two consecutive terms and after period of private life was elected again in 1912
 He is a crank" on the subject of good roads and strong for the work Ing of the county convicts on the roads. He is perfectly familiar with the roads of the county, and is work = ing hard to make the present plan a success.
 MT. McGeever left Ireland when a boy of Is and came to America. His birth place is in county Donegal, a part of the province of Ulster which is now holding the center of the stage in the English Parliament. He differs, however, from the faction opposed to home rule, stat ing his idea is that home rule is a good thing for any country as we'll as his native Ireland. He came to Bir- mingham from Atlanta, Ga, in 1886, and with the Irishman's aptitude for poll tics soon took prominent part in state and local politics.
 As to his former experiences on the board in regard to road work and the convict system, MT. McGeever said "On the subject of road work, will say, the 1 former boards did not have the facili- ties we have, now for carrying out the details necessary for economical and successful road building. We did not have the automobile by means of which the board can practically supervise the work Besides the working of the con victs on the county roads did not ap- peal to me then as it does now for we were getting as high as $25 per month flor the, hire of some of them, with an average of s1S.50 all round. Since then the average dropped to about $1l for able bodied men and nothing for women or those physically unfit.
 That, however. was the financial side of the question, it is the humane side that now appeals. In my last race for a place on the board I answered a question put to me by The Age Herald (that great advocate of good roads and human treatment of convicts), in which I promised to use my best efforts to put the convicts on the county roads. l have kept my part of that promise and feel very proud of the class and char acter of the work that Is being done of the bridges built, new roads con- structed, and the repairs on the old roads which speak for themselves, as it were, and in my opinion they fully demonstrate the practicability of work : ing the convicts on the public roads
