In Madison county last Sunday
Green Davidson was shot and
killed while resisting arrest. He
will be remembered as one of
the witnesses against Tom Wal
lace and others chaged with the
death of Huston Underwood at
Irvine few years ago. He was
serving q term in the pen for
robbery, and had escaped from
a gang Of convict road workers
in Pike county. Douglas Young,
father Of the officer trying to
make the arrest, was wounded
with bird shot. His brother, Rob-
ert Davidson, was also shot and
mortally wounded.

The Estill county road situa-
ton is very promising since that
county has leased its roads for oil.
The county is to get one-fourth
royalty and the company who
gets the lease assumes all risk for
damages It Is estimated that
should fifty average producing
wells be found on the county
roads, the county's yearly income
from this source would be enor-
nous. Enough in fact to brick
pave every ilnportent-road in the
county in just a few years.
This should put bug in Pow
ell's ear. We are wailing for
good roads over here, and we
want them everywhere.

What is a Life Terml

In a public address few weeks
ago Gov. Stanley arraiened the
juries of Kentucky for the gener.
al prevalence of lawlessness.
Now read this Frankfort tele-
gram.
Governor Stanley pardoned Bart
Belieher, Of Pike county, who be-
gan life sentence at the reform
atory for murder last October.
Sentenced in October to a life
term in the penitentiary, in No
vember a fortunate citizen of
Pike receives a pardon from a
Governor who sought a few
weeks ago to put OIL an indefinite
and constantly changing jury re-
sposibility for that lawlessness
which disgraces Kentucky.
The record of the Governor in
this pardon policy nulifies the
work of the jury, and makes the
criminal classes believe that
is no crime in Kentucky.
Think of a life sentence. i'm.
posed by q jury, becoming Inn
tied by the Governor to one
month-sentenced "for life" in
October; released by q pardon
in November louisville Post.

Famine in Paper
Causing Suspensions

Eight weekly newspapers have
been forced to suspend publlca.
tion because OF the high cost OF
paper. >The Typographical Jour-
nal says that y. Thornton Libby,
who for twenty FIVE years has
published eight country papers
at Portland, Maine, has closed
up his business.
Many other small papers are
going out of business because of
the boost in the cost of paper.
Some weekly papers, including
our neighbor, the Irvine Sun,
have increased their rates to 81
year. Many daily papers have
increased subscription rates from
q to II cents week, and adver.
tising rates are advancing all
over the country. The paper
makers say that after Jan. LIST
there will be another increase in
the cost OF print paper, and they
only promise to fill orders for a
few months ahead. The reserve
supply at the mills is gradually
being consumed and the situa.
tion becomes more serious every
day.
Until Jan. 1st, the Clay City
Times will accept subscriptions
at 75 cents per year. After that
date the price will necessarily be
one dollar.
