Our Officers

During the Knox County Fair
our sheriff and his deputies
made more than 80 arrests for
crimes and misdemanors, and
more tnal 40 of them have been
fined. This certainly speaks
well for the sheriff and his force
OF deputies, although it speaks
bad for onr county, yet more
than half of those arrested we're
from other counties.
We are proud of our officers
and they should have the ap-
proval and encouragement of the
citizens.

Call For Volunteers

While European countries are call.
ing for volunteers in a conflict oil
war, Kentucky is calling for volsn-
teers in a conflict of peace, a conflict
which, it eventually and successfully
waged, will Insure to the people OF
this great Commonwealth a new
era OF peace. happiness and prosperi-
ty. Kentucky has one blight and
blot uron her record at this time,
and that is the high percentage OF
illiteracy among her adult popula.
ton. 20S,OS+ of her men and wo.
men cannot read or write, and are
thus deprived of the privileges of
citizenship and prevented from en-.
joyiug the richest blessings of life.
These men and women are mostly
native whites. Many of them are
people of superior intellect and some
OF them. at least, are ambitious.
However much they may hunger for
an education, the day school can
offer them no opportunity. 1t must
accommodate the children. The
State is deprived OF the service of
these unfortunate men and women,
and the school is deprived of their
intelligent cooperation. Three weeks
instruction in the moonlight schools
would enable them to read and write
at least, aud when given the keys to
knowledge, they will proceed TO un.
lock the treasure house for them
selves.
For the sake Of this great army
of benighted men and women, for
the sake of their children and their
grandchildren, for the sake of the
cause of education, for the sake of
more creditable record when the
census OF 1920 is taken, for the sake
OF the mmonwealth, which, when
rhine breaks out or epidemics pre-.
vail or dark days come, looks upon
its illiteracy as the cause and lameuts
"My people are COMPOUNDED for want
OF knowledge" We appeal to every
public aud private school teacher to
enlist and start a moonlight school
on the evening of September 9TH, and
to every citizen to seek out and in
struct some one or more illiterates.
"One thousand moonlight schools,
fifty thousand adults enrolled, ten
thousand illiterates taught" is our
aim for 1914 Let all true and pa.
triotic Kentuckians, men, women
and children, rich and poor, young
and old, white and colored, enlist
for service in Kentucky's conflict
against illiteracy.

HORSE DESERTED ON ROAD.
Charles Birkman Seeks man Who
Hired Rig and Disappeared.

and who never returned it. The horse

the middle Of the road, was not
damaged

that the horse has been found by n
farmer, and thinking it probably
had escaped from it's owners, he
caught the animal and tied it to his
fence.
Mr.. McEndree later found the
vehicle. He brought the horse to
the Cape on his return trip, where
he turned it over to its owner Mr..
Birkman dispatched messenger after
the buggy and then reported the
incident to the police.
