Hard Hit.

During the past ten days county fairs,
tent meetings, farmers and watermelon
vendors have been hard hit by the in
cessant rains. The K. of P. Fair which
was held at Stanford, Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday was greatly handicapped
by the rain. The crowds were small
and the track was heavy. This is a
splendid fair and large crowds are
usually on hand, but this is one time
when the fair did not come up to its
high standards owing to weather condi-
lions. OF course, nobody has monop-
oily on the weather, and any shortcom-
ings are not attributable to the manage
ment, for-it has been wide-awake The
patrons and friends of the Fair Associ-
alton deeply deplore the bad weather
conditions, which resulted deLrimentally
to the success of the enterprise. Far
mers, and especially those who cultivate
tobacco, say the rains have greatly in
jured the crop and interferred with their
work. The preachers and others inter-
ested in tent meetings have lad their
plans upset and crowds cut in twain by
the weather man. Watermelon vendors
have been up against it for several days,
owing TO the continued rains and cool
weather. But remember boys, one and
all. behind the clouds the sun is still
shining

Teachers Institute.

Monday morning the Madison County
Teachers Institute began a five days
session in this city. The institute is
being held in the auditorium of the FRS
Christian church and is being attended
by large number of teachers from al!
parts of the county. Judging from the
large number attending and the deep
interest manifest among teachers and
visitors, the meeting this year will be
one of the best ever held in the history
of the county. Prof. J. w. Ireland,
principal of the Bellevue, (Ky) schools.
and Miss Leila Partridge, of the Eastern
Ky. State Normal School, are conduct
ing the institute. Prof. Ireland is rec
ognized as one of the leading educators
of the State, a man of charming person
atty, and has few equals as an instructor
in institute work. Miss Partridge is an
educator of great ability, one conversant
with the needs of our schools and every
thing pertaining to teaching. Our teach
ers are to be congratulated on securing
the services OF such efficient instructors
to conduct their Institute.

NO COWARD.

The President is not a coward The
bravest man is he who can calmly face
a wrong and patiently wait for its re-
dress.
Let the President be slow in his ne
gotiations with Germany or any other
excited country, the hot headed papers
and munition factories to the contrary.
Not a man who is yelling for war
wants to fight. He wants the brave
boys to fight while he Tolls in elegant
idleness, smoking his Havana and drink
ing corn elixir.
Its better to write an hundred letters
than to have the lives of innocent men
taken for no other reason than that
people who have been repeatedly warn
ed won't heed the warning and get kill
ed by their lack of caution.
Stop bull rag ging the President.
Again you find abundant evidence
that the caution of Mr.. Bryan was a
wise caution. We may yet have cause
to regret that there was ever parting
between Wilson and Bryan.

at Union City, Thursday, August 49,
The entire sessions were characterized
by deep interest and sober enthusiasts m
on the part of those in attendance. In
general the program was entertaining
and instructive. For most part the
speeches were brief, direct, and dealt
with local conditions in very practical
way. One of the State workers, Roy A
Roadruck, was present and contributed
much to the convention by his healthy
enthusiasm and inspiring optimism He
is young man of splendid University
training and pleasing personality, who
has been added to the field force in the
last year.
Much progress has been made in work
during the last year as was shown by the
county's very efficient and energetic
secretary, Miss Elizabeth Helton, in a
| comparative report. AS shown by this
report there is also larger percentage
of the schools enrolment in attendance
this year, which is growing sign for
optimism.
The work of last years officers was
highly commended by their nomination
and reelection to their respective places.
Notwithstanding the fact that three
revival meetings were in progress, there
was fair representation for the various
sections of the county, including these
very busy churches. OF all these, how

mated. DIR. J.. N. Mccormack. one of
the best known and ablest men in the
state was defeated for the l. IS
lature, in Bowling Grsen, by an ex-sa-
ioonkeeper. Judge William Reed, one
of the ablest Circuit Judges in the
state, was defeated in his home county
of Marshall by small majority by IL g
other fellow. who happened in this case
to be briefiess lawyer; Reed was how
ever, elected in the district. Judge
James Gregory, one of the cleanest and
ablest judges in Louisville was beaten
because he demanded an investigation
of the gambling in that city when it is a
notorious fact that it is permitted to go
on. Edward McDermott, the present
Lieutenat Governor of the state. only
carried one county out of 100. Mr..
Douthitt, who was gotten out for rail

vote so that Billy Klair. of Lexington.
could win, defeated KlaIr by 1000 ma
jority. Judge Benton another splendid
Circuit Judge, was defeated because he
put banker in Jail because the banker
would not testify as to bribery in an
election. These are but a few instances
which have come under our notice,
which goes TO show That the state primay
election is somewhat peculiar in its op-
erations and that many voters are not
very discriminating as to qualifications
for office.
