the GOVERNMENT TO
AID IN ROAD BUILDING
Four U. S. Highway Engineers
Will Be Sent to Kentucky
To Assist.

Frankfort, KY, March 2O.-Gov.
McCreary and Commissioner of
Roads r. c. Terrell have returned
from Washington, much pleased
with the success of their trip to ask
for Federal aid in road construction
in Kentucky this year.
Commissioner Terrell said the
Department of Agriculture consented
to detail four highway engineers
for duty in Kentucky, one of whom
will arrive here Monday. They will
be assigned to designated terrific
ries, each probably being given ten
counties to travel over. They will
supervise the road construction un-
der the State-aid plan for the State
Department of Roads. and give ad-
vice to county engineers, just as
Government farm demonstrators
aid the agriculturists.
Besides these four field men as
signed to the State, Gov. McCreary
and Commissioner Terrell secured
permission to send the excess bridge
work to the Bureau of Highways,
Washington. All bridges costing
more than $500 are built under
plans and specifications furnished
by tire Commissioner of Roads, and
this work, in addition to the high
way plans under State aid, will
crowd. the Office here. The work
which cannot be got out in this Of
fee without hampering its other
activities will be sent to Washing
ton. Commissioner Terrell said this
will save his Office the expense of
three extra engineers.

SHIP YARDS BOOMING
A REMARKABLE CHANGE

The most remarkable change
since the time of the Napoleonic
war has come suddenly in the Amer
lean ship-building industry. The
last day of December, 1914. closed
one of the poorest years the Ameri-
can ship yards have had in dec
ade. To-day every ship-building
concern from Bath, Me-, down to
Newport News. in Virginia. is work
ing to its fullest capacity. says the
New Republic.
One of the largest companies has
orders sufficient to keep 5000 men
employed full time for two to three
years. Contracts have been closed
for forty-eight ocean vessels. and
negotiations are pending for sixty
more. Prices have been advanced
Is per cent, although that fact is
not significant. A British company
has placed an order for the building
of two ships in an American yard,
thing never heard of before, and
is likely to order two more.
Apparently the American mer-
chant marine has entered upon an
other period of expansion. The
ships ordered and those for which
marine architects are now drawing
plans, embrace not only passenger
vessels for the coastwise trade, but
freighters for the Pacific and South
American service, big cargo car
riers for the transatlantic business
and oil tankers to go anywhere and
everywhere.

CENTRAL CITY'S OLDEST
HOTEL BURNED FRIDAY

Central City, KY, March 90
The Commercial hotel. the Oldest
hotel and perhaps the oldest build
ing H. the town, burned Friday
night, the origin of the fire being
unknown. For 80 years it has
stood in the southeast corner of
the crossing of the Illinois Cen
trail and l.. and n. railroads and
was landmark. For many years it
was successfully conducted by Mr..
and Mrs. r. r. Paxton. both of
whom are now dead. At the time of
the fire it was the property of Mr..
Willis, of Rumsey. The first alarm
was sounded about 9 O'Clock in the
evening, and the volunteer fire
department was soon on the scene.
1t was soon under control and
supposed to have been completely
extinguished, but the flames had
crept up beteen the ceiling and the
metal roof, land when the department
reached the scene or the nre the
second time. it was seen the building
was doomed. For two hours it burn
ed and was the most spectacular fire
ever seen here for the reason that
the house, being iron-bound and
recently covered with this metal,
was much stronger than the remain
der of the house and stood a red
hot box while the flames poured out
the doors and windows. Fully 1000
people stood around while the old
hotel became a thing of the past.

The Bowling Green Messenger OF
Thursday says:
A telephone message was receiv-
ed in Bowling Green announcing the

mercantile business.
He leaves four children, Mrs, AL
len Edelin,. of Burgin; c. L., p. M.
and M. ID. Beard. all of this town.

H|GHWAYSTO CONNECT
STATE COUNTY SEATS
Farmers From Four Counties To
Attend Meeting For
This Purpose.
The Greensboro Inquirer says:

The Greensboro Inquirer says:
OF all the sentiment now extant
in Kentucky perhaps none is grow
ing as rapidly, or is becoming SO
Statewide, as that of good roads.
Especially the sentiment for an in
ter-county seat system of highways.
which, when completed, will con-
meet the county seats of every coun-
ty in. Kentucky with those of adj
joining counties. The Chamber of
Commerce is now inaugurating a
movement for the purpose of giving
the citizens of Daviess and adjoin-
ing counties full information as to
how such connecting hiwhways may
be secured, and as to the real bene-
fits that will be derived therefrom,
with the view of stimulating and
strengthening the interest already
manifested by so many farmers and
business men in this section in this
inter-county seat highway move
ment.
This information campaign will
be launched next Saturday after
noon, March the 27th, at mass
meeting of the citizens of Daviess,
Mclean. Ohio and Hancock coun-
ties, to be held in the Circuit Court
room of the court house in Owens
boro, at 1880 o'clock. Mr.. Robert
C. Terrell, commissioner of roads
for Kentucky, will be the speaker.
Mr.. Terrell is one of the best in
formed men in Kentucky on the
question of roads, is an interesting
speaker, and will inform his hear
ers fully as to the method of con-
structing these inter-county seat
highways, and as to how much State
and national aid can be secured for
each county to assist in the con-
struction of these highways. Sixty
three counties in Kentucky, includ-
ing Davies and Ohio, have already
made application for aid from the
State and National Government.
Commercially, 1t is generally con.
coded, nothing is of so much import
ance to the citizens of this section
as well as the whole of Kentucky,
as good roads, and every citizen OF
this entire section is expected to en-
ter enthusiastically into this move
ment and leave nothing updone to
accomplish the end desired. Let
good roads, be the slogan until
good roads are secured and comfort
and prosperity will follow. You are
invited by the Chamber of Com
merce, so come and bring your
neighbor to the initial meeting next
Saturday.

are looking forward to further en-
gagements with calm assurance.
Fighting On Both Fronts.

Although fighting of more or less
intensity is always in progress along
the Eastern and Western fronts
there have been no very important
operations during the last few days.
The Germans claim. small successes
against the British near st. Eloi and
against the French at Notre Dame
de Lorette, north of Arras and to
have repulsed several French at
tacks in Champagne, the Argonne
forest and the vosges. But the
French communication, issued dur
ing the day, says that nothing of
sufficient Importance to report has
happened.
In North Poland there have been
several affairs of the outposts, but
neither army apparently is attempt
ing any large operations while the
ground remains soft, unless the
Russian movement turns out to be
more important than 1t at present
appears to be-namely, a cavalry
raid.

important Opinion BY The
Court Of Appeals.
RIGHT OF PARTY COMMITTEES
To Fill Vacancies Fixed
Candidates Must Adhere
To One Party.
A CASE FROM KNOTT COUNTY

Frankfort. KY, March 1.-THE
last possible chance for effecting
fusion ticket by any of the leading
political parties was removed by
the Court of Appeals to-day when.
in the case of Willie Francis against
John Sturgill, an election contest
case from Knott county, it declared
that party committee, in filing
vacancies on ticket after q pri-
mary, must select men who affiliat-
ed with that party and supported
it's nominees at the last general
election.
The primary law requires a can
didate to file statement with the
Secretary of State in order to get
his name on the ballot, that he de-
sires to be the candidate of par
ticular party for a particular Office.
and that he is affiliated with that
party and supported its nominees at
the last general election. The court
said if any candidate nominated in
primary withdraws and the COM
mittee is thus empowered to fill his
place on the ticket, the committee
is bound by the same restriction.
and must place on the ticket candi-
dates who would have qualified to
run in the primary for the nomina-
ton.
Both Francis and Sturgill were
candidates in 1913 for the Demo-
cratic nomination for County Clerk
of Knott county. Sturgill had been
elected to Office before on the Dem
ocratic ticket, but he was defeated
for the nomination by Francis.
Then the Republican candidate,
nominated in the primary, with
drew, and the Republican County
Committee placed the name of
Sturgill on the ballot as the Repub-
lican candidate against Francis.
The latter received $50 votes to
Sturgill's 929, but Sturgill contest
ed and won in the Circuit Court.
Francis appealed, and the Court of
Appeals. in an opinion by Judge
Settle. the whole Court sitting and
concurring, held: In our opinion
appellee did not have a right to
have his name go on the ballots as
the Republican nominee, for which
reason he was not eligible to be vot-
ed for at the election and could not
properly be adjudged entitled to the
Office involved. even though it were
made to appear that he received a
majority of the votes cast"
After reviewing the evidence as
to the contested ballots the court
decided that Francis had received a
majority of the votes and directed
that judgment be entered awarding
him the certificate of election and
commissioners County Clerk.
