Republican Committee Gives
Judge Charles H. Bush
Opposition.
NAMED HERE THURSDAY
Nominee Is Young Lawyer Of
This City, 80 Years
Of Age.

The Republican District Committee
Of the Third judicial district met in
this city Thursday and nominated Sam
T. Fruit for circuit Judge.
Those present were Mel. Davis,
committeeman for Christian; j. F.
Ramey committeeman for Lyon; Bur-
nett, for Trigg, and w. c. Osburn,
committeeman for Galloway county.
Capt. McJ. Davis was made chair
man and John Feland secretary of
the committee.
There was but one candidate and
the nomination was put through with
out hitch. The nomination came as
a complete surprise as Mr.. Fruits
name had not been mentioned
in connection with the Office. Judge
James Breathitt recently declined to be
candidate and il was not known that
the Republicans were contemplating
the nomination of candidate against
Judge CHI. Bush.
Mr.. Fruit appeared before the COM
mittee and accepted.
He is a native of this county, a son
of the late Capt. S. T. Fruit, federal
soldier. He began life as a school
teacher but was admitted to the local
bar nine years ago. He is 80 years
old and is married.
Mr.. Fruit says it is not his purpose
to make speeches over the district.
The district last year went Repub-
lican, but it is hardly possible that
Mr.. Fruit has been nominated with
any hope of success.

TO CONSIDER union.

The seventy-frst annual session Of
the Louisville conference of the Meta.
odist church will meet at FrankI1,.
KY, on September 81 and eontiuIse
through October 2. This promises Ia,
be one of the most important sessssEIs
of the conference held in several years
and Methodists in the large territory
covered by this conference are desz---
ly interested in it and large attesEs-
ance is assured of the laity as well ass
the clergy. The conference takes n
all the western half of the state, ER-
GLIDING Louisville, and has seygD
districts and about $50 churches.
One Of the most important matters
to be disposed of is the proposed
union of the northern and soutaecn
branches of the Methodist cha.ss.-
Since the split many years ago chiefly
over slavery union has been prB--
iected several times but never MARE
rallied. Now the prospect seams
bright for reuniting the two branChs=s
and ii is believed the vote in tne
Louisville conference will be practila-
ally unanimous for il.

USING THE
STREETS
Should Pedestrians or Joy
Riders Be Given
Preference?

1t is not generally known that Hop
kinsville police are enforcing rule
requiring all vehicles that stop on the
streets to stop on that side in which
they are headed, even when it is nee
essary to cross the street to the OPP
poslte side of that upon which is To-
Gated a store TO be entered. This is a
good rule and is carrying out the
well-established highway rule requir-
ing all vehicles to keep to the right.
Owensboro has just passed a new
ordinance prohibiting pedestrians
from crossing the streets diagonally.
They must 90 to the corners and cross
at right angles, even when it necessi-
tates more walking and more time.
Many cities have ordinances prohibit
ing lettering on the sidewalks to an
extent that obstructs the passage OF
pedestrians. All of these things are
well enough, but the pedestrians are
not usually the ones needing The strin-
gent regulations in congested streets.
There should be some steps taken to
keep unused vehicles from being
parked in the streets on busy days.
Two circuses are coming this month
and il they are not regulated, the We.
hicles will appropriate every point OF
vantage along the route of parade,
often getting in front of the doors Of
people who are entitled to use theil
own frontage. Let us hope that Mayor
Bassett will start in time to give the
footmen a chance on the narrow
streets when the big crowd comes
At least relegate the automobiles anC
buggies to the side streets, whenthert
is not room for the people.

The Advance Sales For Last
Night Indicated Crowd
ed House.
WONDERFUL is PICTURE
Two More Engagements For
This Afternoon and To-
night.

Manager Mcpherson was more than
pleased with the crowd that saw
''The Birth of Nation" last night, in
its first performance at the Taber-
nacle. They came from far and near
and the great picture was shown to
delighted and enthusiastic audience.
There will be a matinee this after
noon and another night performance
tonight at 8 o'clock. Hundreds of
seats had already been reserved for
these performances yesterday and all
indications point to big crowds through
out the engagement.
The general character of ''The
Birth of a Nation" is of necessity So
Der and somber. 1t represents a
critical period in the history of the
States. II pictures a time that
/ tried mems souls" and is not to be
approached in levity or with the view
that there is "a laugh in every line. !"
1t is not farce; it is not a comedy, it
is simply a truthful picture of the
times it portrays, and there was little
of comic nature about those times
and events. Yet there is comedy in
I'D. w. Griffith's filmed spectacle.
Comedy of the most delicate sort, but
comedy nevertheless.
There is the typical Southern home
4 where all is good cheer. Wars
alarms have not yet disturbed it:
serenity. A Northerner is visiting
his old college chum. Youth will be
served, and in their playful wrestling
and chasing each other about the old
mansion and grounds we have pure
comedy and the best of good feeling.
No matter if within a few months they
are to die on the field of battle, ene-
mics but clasped in each others arms.
Then there is the young daughter
of the Southern home; almost a
hoyden, playful as a kitten, up to all
sorts of tricks with her brothers, sis.
ter, and their guests. Alas, later we
see her tragic end, when to save her
self from a fate worse than death
she jumps from the high cliff. Com
ledy that ends in tragedy, but comedy
Just the same.
Again there is the scene in ''tht
quarters" where the negroes arr
Showing off" for the benefit o
Northern visitors. There is the shut
file, buck and wing Mississippi
Sawyer" Turkey in the Straw,
and other steps in which the darkey
delighted. Later in the play the.
have their serious roles.
And so through it all there are bit
of the lighter shade of life to be over
cast by the somber shade later on
And that is what makes "The Brit
of Nation" such a truthful pictur
of the times whose life it portrays
) for tragedy follows comedy ever
Such is life.
