CLINTON S. klMEs.

| Some inquiries have been coming to
the Big Sandy News office recently
about Clinton S. HINES, a man who has
been taking orders throughout Eas
tern Kentucky for several months for
! advertising space on chart or hang
err Also, he agrees, ii is said, to have
the advertisements printed in the Big
Sandy News.
From the Information that comes to
us il seems that those who buy the ad-
yertising are given the impression that
il is Big Sandy News proposition and
that HINES is soliciting the work as our
agent.
In order to correct any such impress
sion we desire to state that the Big
Sandy News has no connection with
the matter whatever. This man came
to Louisa early last spring and pre-
scented credentials and recommended
tons, and copies of leading newspapers
Of Ohio and Pennsylvania containing
pages of advertisements such as he
proposed to publish for the Big Sandy
Valley, He asked us for rates covering
one or two pages of these advertise
ments, to be published one time, as we
now recall. We named the price and he
said he would bring them in for publi-
cation as soon as he got enough or
ders to fill a page He also said his
proposition to business men included
the printing of these advertisements on
a cardboard hanger, with brass strips
on top and bottom and that this work
would be done in Cincinnati.
We have heard of Mr.. Hines in sew
eral counties of Eastern Kentucky and
have addressed letters to him at var
ious points calling his attention to the
complaints, but the letters have come
back undelivered.
We do not intend to convey the i'm
preston that Mr.. Kimes will fail to
carry out his contracts with those who
have paid him, because we do not know
what he will do. But in justice to all
we feel impelled to state the facts Civ

In compliance with the will Of Ken
lucky voters, as expressed at the polls
last month, it is expected that the Leg
islature which will meet on January
4th will enact law to work the con-
victs on the public roads. The most
feasible plan that has been suggested
is to have convict labor employed on
the roads built with State aid and to
have them under control of the State
roads department. This removes the
menacing feature of uncertainty which
would exist if the convicts were to be
used only at the call of the counties.
Yet the men would be available to all
counties alike. The problem of employ
ment during the severe weather Of win
ter is yet to be solved.
