 Pillow could you sec me got the pis- t0i out of my pocket when 1 was in the dark?' he asked. The witness couldn't make t very clear, and the nSgro smiled broadly. Then he in- Quired: Wasn't l backing away when I pulled the pistol out of my pQcket?"
 The witness didn't have to ponder .that question, for the judge and oth- ers in the courtroom did more than smile inaudibly. ''Ninety days" said his nor. and the trial was over.

tirety II Needed.

Immediate Relief for Unemployed"
was the subject of discussion at the

socialists. State and government pro-
ductive enterprises, reclamation, reTor-

were proposed as proper and profitable
solutions Of the problem.
The socialists arranged to appoint a
committee to draft a plan OF action to
be submitted to the legislature this win
ter.
Methods of financing the projects pro
posed as a means of doing away with
unemployment were discussed and some
OF the things proposed were:
Direct issue Of government notes that
would be full legal tender.
A tax on land values.
And. chiefly, the complete socializa-
ton of all collectively used Industries.
There was a unanimous opinion that
conditions would only be temporarily and
partially improved until socialism in its
entirety was secured.
However, the members attending the
meeting agreed that reforms" under
CAPITALISM should be taken as It was
possible to secure them, rather than to
spurD every effort at alienation until
the whole socialist plan could be adopted

German Paper Praises America.

Berlin. Nov, Nov. 9.-Berlin news
papers as a rule make no comment
on the American note to Great Bri-
tain relative to interference with
shipping. Summaries of the note as
received in Berlin are published even
without indications in headlines of
the significance attached to the COM
munication. The MOrgen Post, how
ever, makes the following comment:
1T Is to be hoped the lesson in in
ternational law which the Washing
ton government gives the British
government will make the desired I'M
preston in London. The bare facts
that the American government uses
decided and firm language shows
that the discomfort of wide and in
fiuential American circles with Great
Britain must be assumed to be very
earnest in character.
1T is to be hoped that America
will not content herself with bare
protest, but will proceed TO energetic
measures il the case demands and
Great Britain's gross arbitrariness
does NOT cease. The program for
protection of neutral commerce Is
very praiseworthy, and America, as
the strongest neutral power, could
thereby do great service to all neu-
trails II the program should actually
be carried out.
The newspapers generally give
great promise to the affidavits filed
at Washington by Ambassador Berns-
tori concerning the British patrol
boat Baralong, which is said to have
shot down fifteen members OF the
crew OF German submarine after
they had surrendered or while swim
ming In the sea.

school Fair Held at FOrdsville
Great Success.

The School Fair held at Fordsville.
KY, October 30. was grand sue
cess. by ten o'clock 5000 people
had gathered in town to enjoy the
day. The parade started at eleven.
This was probably the greatest sight
ever witnessed in Fordsville. 1900
children with colors flying and each
school headed by a special banner
lent great enthusiasm for the Occa-
sion. The races occurred just before
dinner. Immediately after dinner
some of the leading educators of
Kentucky delivered addresses along
educational lines and also on the
subject of Agriculture. A large
number of articles made by the school
children were displayed in the various
rooms. Work in manual training.
Domestic Science, reading. drawing,
agriculture, etc. were. displayed.
This School Fair was not well ad-
vertised, and was really not county
fair. however, 1t was success be-
yond our greatest expectations.
We have voted to have County
School Fair at Fordsville, on the
second Friday in October, 1916. Ev-
cry teacher, pupil and farmer in
Ohio county are invited and urged to
take part in this great movement for
better schools, better roads, better
farms and better county.
A large number of worthy prem
iums will be offered next year for
the winners of the various contests.
A program of this fair will be pub
lished soon.

covered from the wound and was
able to be at his Office two weeks
after the shooting. Today he stood
beside his assailant in court and

demeanor.
In asking the court to accept the
recommendation of the Common
wealth and the prosecuting witness

ten statement prepared and signed
by Cockrell:
81 desire to state that l sincerely
regret the occurrence which caused
the Indictment herein. l did not
intend at any time to injure the
prosecuting witness. William B.
Brohm. have not had and have
now no personal feeling against him
and it was foreign to any purpose of
mine to do him violence. While |
believe the shooting of Mr.. Brohm
was entirely accidental l now APP
preciate that the possession and dis
play of the pistol was a grave mis-
take on my part. / am glad that
the outcome has not been serious
for Mr.. Brohm and that he has en-
tirely recovered. In view of these
conditions l apologize for my con-
duct, and ask that I be allowed to
plead guilty to the misdemeanor in
cluded in the indictment and subject
myself to such punishment as the
court may deem proper to impose"
