CLAIMS TO RECOGNITION.

The friends Of Hon. Gus
Thomas, the Mayfield Attorney,
who is seeking the Democratic
nomination for Appellate Judge
in the first District, have entered
the plea in his behalf that the
section of the district west Of the
Tennessee River is entitled TO the
office. They argue that the peo-
Pile east of the river have held
the office more than 100 of the
l23 years that Kentucky has
been a State. Mr.. Thomas
friends say that there are about
IL 500 Democrats west of the
Tennessee and about $500 east
of il, and that in justice TO the
majority the office should go TO a
Democrat west of the river this
time. TO asy the least, the
friends of Mr.. Thomas have a
good talking point. But the
strongest points in Gus Thomas
favor are his experience and
ability as a iawyer.-(Owens'

Local wharf building concerns. as

LIME MANUFACTURERS
CLOSE ANNUAL MEETING
Discuss Means to Procure Potash,
Foreign Supply Having Been
Cut Off by War.

with election of officers late yester-
day afternoon the thirteenth annual
meeting of the National Lime Manu-
facturers' Association came to a close
at the bureau of standards The Of
ficers elected include W. e. Carson of
RiYerton, Va, president; Martin Dceley
of Lea, Mass; j. +. Pollock of Kansas
City, Mo-, and A. II. I4auman of Pitts
burgh vice presidents; Fred X. Irvine
OF Chicago, secretary; c. w. $. Cobb of
St Louis, treasurer, and the following
executive committed: Charles Warner
OF Wilmington. Del; Lawrence Hitch
COCK Of Cleveland and Bernard L. Nc
Nulty Of Mitchell, Ind.
Inc final session was devoted mainly
TO consideration of the necessity of
the trade supplying the immediate de-
mand for potash to American agricul-
tural industries. 1t was pointed out
that the foreign supply having been
cut Off, it is now-up to the American
lime men to supply this fertilizer so
necessary to the successful cultivation
of wheat, potatoes. alfalfa and grasses.
The hydrating branch of the trade put
forward several suggestions for sup
plying the want, and the sense of the
convention was optimistic that the
need could be met, although it would
prove a big job.
Many of the members remain in the
city to attend the closing sessions of
the Chamber of Commerce of the

Not Worth While

The night of death will soon

then the end, and perfect rest IS
ours; forgotten by the busy
throng, we'll sleep, while seasons
roll along, beneath the grass and
flowers. Our sojourn in this
world is brief, so why go hunt
ing care and grief. why have a
troubled mind? And what's the
use of getting mad, and making
folks around US sad, by saying
words unkind? Why not abjure
the base and mean, why not be
sunny and serene, from spite and
envy free? Why not be happy
while We may, and make our lit
tie earthly stay joyous jam
borec: We're here for such a
little while. And then we go and
leave the pile for which we strive
and strain: worn out and broken
by the grind. we go, and leave our
vads bellind-such efforts all in
vain We break our hearts and
twist our souls acquiring large
and useless rolls of coins and
kindred things, and when wei
reach St. Peters Town they will
not buy a sheet-iron crown, or
oast-otf pair of wings. Why |
scheme and sweat and skimp and
save? The money will not buy a |
grave much better than the one
in which the village pauper lies |
in this brief life that man is wise
