AN ATTACK ON ILLITERAcY.

In an effort to Danish illiteracy from
their borders number of counties in
kentucky have decided to institute a
moonlight school campaign.
| The movement is being encouraged
by the Kentucky Illiteracy Commis-
sion and the counties which have
manifested their intention of taking
part are Montgomery, Lincoln, Hardin,
Clay, McCreary, Mercer, Grayson,
Pike, Clinton, Leslie, Kenton and
Campbell Some of them are rural
| counties while others contain cities or
towns of considerable size. September
| Z is the date that has been selected
for q concerted attack on illiteracy and
by that time, it is to be hoped, other
counties will be ready to take part.
Rowan, mountain county, is the
home of the moonlight school. AS
suredly a method OF operation which
can bring about the practical banish-
ment of illiteracy from mountain
county can be prosecuted successfully
in other counties. thousand moon
light schools in Kentucky under the
direction of competent and conscien-
tious teachers would make a lasting
impression on the States illiteracy
record and would raise Kentucky sew
eral points in the educational scale.
There are comparatively few persons
who are illiterate as matter of
choice. Most of the illiterates would
welcome an opportunity to learn how
to read and write. This was demon
strated in Rowan county when men
and women of advanced age, some Of
them in the octogenarian class. gladly

searching party now numbers close to
five hundred. AS news Of the battle
spread. the men, probably five hum
dred in number, scattered about over
several miles of territory and began
to assemble around the lair of the ban
dts. Before night fall 1t was entirely
surrounded. Judge Damron and sew
eral officers left for the scene this
evening to prevent lynching II pos
sible Sheriff Hatfield had been fully
convinced all day that the men will
never surrender. II was his plan to
advance on the bandits from all sides
before dark TO prevent, IL possible,
further loss OF life. 1t was almost
certain that another final battle will
be fought and news of 1t was expected
here at any minute. Although rain
poured in torrents, Sheriff Hatfield and
his posse chung to the. trail.
So slow and dangerous was their
progress that they covered a distance
OF less than FIVE miles. The bandits
also met almost insurmountable diff
ficulties, but the storm was in their
favor, making their trail harder to
follow. At one point they fell or
jumped down a sheer precipice thirty
feet high. A fash light which gave
out during the night was found by
their pursuers Particles Of soap were
also found along the trail. the bandits
having used II to battle the hounds.
The trail led across the mountains
towards the home of Young Bud
Rutherford, which is on Ben Creek and
only a short distanc from where the
bandits were run to earth, Hurley's
home is not more than three miles
from the scene of the murder.
Among those who followed the trail
all night was Young Anse Hatfield. son
OF the famous Devil Anse. He proved
more efficient on the trail than the
blood hounds, keeping ahead of them
all night
Additional details of the murder of
the three coal company officers show
the crime to have been one OF the most
brutal ever committed here. DIR. Amick
died first, the first shot knocking him
from the motor car to the ground. He
was shot from the mountainside to the
left. Immediately Johnson and Sheilor
jumped from the car down small en-

Pope Plus dies
OF BROKEN HEART.
Cable Announcing His Death Received
at 2:26 P. NJ. Wednesday.

Rome, Italy, Aug. 19.-Pope Plus is
dead
The above message was received at
the New York office of the United
Press from it's Rome correspondent,
Henry Woods Earlier messages today
indicated that His Holiness was in a
very bad way. The first bulletin to-
day said he was threatened with pneu-
monia. 1t was stated his sister and a
doctor were constantly at his bedside.
II was later reported that Cardinal
Merry del Cal. the Papal secretary of
State. had summoned back to Rome
all OF the Cardinals who recently left
there.
The cable announcing his death was
received at 1925 p. m. The death OF
the Pope was due to the war. He died
practically Of a broken heart. For
days before the war broke. out he was
deeply concerned and he notified all
heads of the church throughout Europe
to work for peace. Up until hostilities
actually began, the Pope did not be-
lieve that war could come between civ
ilized nations at this late day. When
he heard that Germany had declared
war on Russia, and realized that the
spark actually had been kndled he
broke down. His Holiness swooned
and was unconscious for several min
utes. Physicians were called in and
had to minister powerful restoratives.
There was slight recovery and the
Pope was able to be about the Vatican.
He spent most of his time in prayer
When the Emporer of Austria asked
that he send his blessing to the Aus
trian forces, the Pope solemnly and
sorrowfully sent word that he would
bless all the combatants. That he
considered all Of them his children.
Finally, he issued an appeal to every
Catholic throughout the world to ap-
peal for peace. This appeal was dis
tributed broadcast. AS the news of
the terrible fighting began to reach. the
Vatican. the sorrow of the Pope be-
came very great. He had long spells
Of weeping, and would sit for hours at
a time, murmuring prayers for the
dying.
On Sunday he was too i'll to leave
his bed. The doctors in attendance
were not alarmed at that His sick
ness, which at that time believed to be
bronchial catarrh coupled with gouty
manifestations, would yield to treat
ment, but it did not. Yet while con-
scious. he prayed necessarily. When
the doctors gave him liquid nourish-
ment, he would shake his head in mild
protest. 1t was plain he realized that
he was very i'll, but 1t was also plain
to those about him that the melan-
choly induced by the war was having
q more depressing effect upon him than
was his actual illness. 1t was also
certain that the cause of death would
be a broken heart. The spirit that had
animated His Holiness in his past bat
tie with the illnesses which have at
tended him was absent this time. so to-
day the members of his household
prepared for the end.

AUGUST TERM OF THE
LAWRENCE CIRCUIT COURT

On Monday next the August term of
the Lawrence Circuit Court, big
Court" will begin. The civil docket
holds very many cases, some Of them
quite important. The penal docket
grows smaller every year and the
probability is that it will take only a
few days to finish it. This shows a
much healthier moral condition of the
county and is a hopeful sign The fact
Is there has been rigid enforcement
OF the laws concerning the liquor traf-
fic In this county and there has been a
marked Improvement in the morals
and manners of the people. The use
OF intoxicants is "the direful spring of
woes unnumbered." and the more the
law hedges it about with difficulties
the less Of it will be consumed. Clerk
Hewlett says the various court pro-
cesses have been generally well served,
and busy term may be expected
