SERVED ON
BOTH SIDES
'Uncle jim Spencer, of Lee
County, Fought Under
Two Flags.

Lexington, Ky, April 2S.-"Uncle
Jim" Spencer, ST., who is dead at
his home at Fillmore, Lee county, in
his seventy-ninth year enjoyed the
distinction of being one of the only
two men in X ntucky who served in
both the Union and Confederate
armies during the Civil War and who
had an honorable discharge from
both.
He was the only man in Lee coun.
| ty, so far as is known, who respond
ed to the first call of President Lin
coin for ninety day volunteers and
his command was one of the first
that took the field in 81. When his
three months expired he declined to
re-enlist. received an honorable dis
charge, and returned home, but al.
most Immediately afterward Joined
the fortunes of the. Confederacy,
fighting under the bonny blue flag
until the close of the war, when he
received a second honorable dis.
charge.
1t was the slavery issue and the
pressure brought by his home people
that caused him to change his allegi-
ance, it is said. He was one of the
leading members of the Baptist
church at fillmore and besides seven
children, he leaves a numb-r of
grandchildren and a host of friends
to mourn his loss.

Oil and Water.

Some of the neighboring cities are
getting street oil at less than cents
a gallon and applying it at cost. 1t
takes half a gallon of oil to sprinkle
a square yard of macadam street
surface. The average street in Hop
kinsville has about q feet of sur
face, or yards to the lineal foot.
AT even 6 cents a gallon put or. the
cost of oil should be about 8 cents a
front foot, or Al cents on each side.
If oil can be had at this reasonable
price, the Kentuckian prefers oil to
water for many reasons. This IS
cheaper than the price of water
sprinkling at rs cents a week for
each property owner, but many citi-
zens are so prejudiced against a
sticky asphalt and oil mixture that
they bitterly op ose its a. plication
at any price. Real street oil would
be less Objectionable.

PROF. FOSTER

And Supported His Friend Prof.
VinsOn for PreSi-
dent.

The Christian County delegation
which returned Saturday night from
Louisville report a very pleasant
trip and say that the X. h. A. was
the largest and best educational
meeting ever held in the Common
wealth of Kentucky. About 80 per-
sons went from Christian county to
the x. Z. A. This is one of the best
and largest delegations that has ever
gone from this county.
Last Thursday the Courier. Journal
stated that Supt. L. E. Foster would
likely be a candidate for the presi-
dency of the K. E. A. who at the
time was strongly urged to allow his
name to go before the Convention.
He had great following among the
County Superintendents, Trustt es,
and Rural Teachers as they felt that
a County Superintendent should be
elected this time. However, when

rotary of the K. E. A. for ten years
and who has done more than any 9TH

are personal friends and the friends |
of one are the friends of the other,
so in recognition of Mr.. Wilson'S
long and faithful services Mr.. Foster
would not permit his name to come
before the convention, but on the
other hand nominated Mr.. Vinson,
thereby indicating that he desired
his supporters to support Mr.. Vim.
son, Not only Mr.. Fosters friends
but MANY in the Convention who did
not know him stated that they thought
that he did the graceful thing at this
time, and assured him that he would
be president of the X. E A. at some
future date and that they would take
particular interest in helping to elect
him. Supt. Foster stated that there
was likely to become fight between
the county teachers and the city
teachers and his withdrawal elimin-
ated any such fight. which. OF course,
is detrimental to educational meet
ings of this kind. He stated also,
that he was afraid all the time of a
political fight. as this is campaign |

at this meeting.

CAMPAIGN
viii Be Opened At Frankfort
On Next Saturday
May l.
OUTLINE OF HIS SPEECH.
Intimation That There will Be
No Lack Of Hot Stuff"
on Tap.

Louisville, KY, April 49, Former
Congressman A. o. Stanley this
week opened headquarters in the
Gait house at Louisville. with for.
mer State Auditor s. w. Hager, of
Owensboro, in charge, and he has
announced that he will make his
opening speech at Frankfort next
Saturday, May /. He says he is
going to say some things that will
have an effect on this campaign
similar in effect to the dumping of a
bottle of tabasco into a bowl of soup.
He this week made the declaration
that he is not running for the
Democratic nomination for COVER
nor in the interest of any group of
distilIeries, brewers or saloons or
saloon organizations; that the liquor
question has been settled under the
county unit local option law to the
extent that it is not paramount as
an issue in this campaign, as con-
tended by the state-widers; that
there are more vital questions for
the attention of the people which
may be kept in obscurity if the
plans of the state-widers are sue
cessful, and that he intends to un.
fold the story of the frame-up as he
proceeds on the stump. Stanley
has made engagements for Monday,
May 8, at Newcastle. Henry county;
Tuesday, May A. at Owingsville,
Bath county, and Monday. May II,
at Pikeville, Pike county. Judge
S. w. Hager says that Judge
O'Rear's visit to Western Kentucky
as the team-mate of Senator Beck
ham IN the behalf of statewide
prohibition has made Stanley 10000
votes, at least"
Another angle that is being pre-.
sented as possible determipation
on the part of Senator Beckham and
Judge O'Rear is that the latter may
become the opponent of Senator
Ollie M. James. who is leaving San
Francisco next Thursday for trip
to Hawaii with the congressional
delegation. If Senator James had
Joined forces with Senator Beckham
in the support of candidate for
governor" said one of the expound-
ers of this angle. am constrained
to believe that he would not have
undertaken the move he is now
making. But James did not elect
to play the game with him, and the
feeling that he may not be able to
find man in his own organization
working under the Democratic label
to take James measure. Senator
Beckham is, as | see it, trying to
create dry party made up of
Democrats and Republicans to sup.
port Democrats when and where
Democrats are strongest, and Re-
publicans are strongest.

French Troops Occupy Turkish

THE GERMANS HOLD GROUND.
Berlin Claims That British At
tempt to Retake Lost
Position Fails.

London, April 28.-On the narrow
rocky Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey
and on restricted front stretching
northward from Ypres in Belgium,
two of the most vital struggles of the
war are in progress. Neither has
reached stage which would permit
of a prediction of the ultimate result,
In the Gallipoli peninsula fighting,
a picturesque assortment of allied
troops landed Sunday, supported by
the fire of the warships are trying to-
batter their way through thousands
OF German-officered Turks in an eff
fort to force the Dardanelles-the
main gateway of the Ottoman en-
pire-and reach Constantinople.
According to the British calm, the
attack is progressing, but Turkish
communication declares that, al
though the allies landed forces at
four points, these forces are being
teaten back to the coast, while the
Moslems in the French ranks are d.
sorting the tricolor and casting their
lot with their coreligionists.
Equally contradictory are the Off
cial statements concerning the fight
ing in the vicinity of Ypres. 1t would
appear that the German offensive
north Of that city. which brought
them a gain of nearly three miles, has
reached lis limit, and that, although
the Germans hold most of the ground
they gained;S the question now is
whether they can retain it.

have taken the offensive and are
striking toward st. Julien, which
the Germans captured, while the
