VALID PETITION
FOR ROAD BONDS
Is Filed This Time With Sufficient
"Freeholders" SignIng-Elec-
tion May ID, 1916.

Another petition for a road bond
election in Lincoln county was filed
in County Court here Monday, bear
ing the names of 400 or 500 voters
of the county every one of whom is
said by those who circulated the pc
tition to be "freeholder," or prop
erty owner, SO that the petition will
not be invaldiated for lack of suffi-
cient names of "freeholders," as the
former petition was.
An order Was entered in court call
ing an election to be held on Satur-
day, May, 18th, and due advertise
ment of the election will be made by
the sheriff, a; required by law, as
soon as the proper order can be
drawn up The petitions ask for the
usual of 100000 in bonds and con-
tain the names of prominent citizens
of all sections of the county. The
friends of the movement say that
the question is sure to carry at this
election, as road conditions were new
er worse in the county and it is ar
gued that the only way in which suf-
ficient funds can be secured to work
and reconstruct them properly is
through a bond issue.

"back home" in old Lincoln were
deeply grieved to learn of the death

will extend to his grief-stricken
mother and sister, their sincerest
condolences. Miss Esther Burch and
County Attorney Will S. Burch, his
first cousins, have received news that
the body will be brought back to Ken
lucky and will be buried in Louis
vile. The Courier-Journal had the
following mention of the death of
this fine young man:
Stephen Burch Buchanan, one of
the best-known young men of Louis
vile, died yesterday afternoon at 5
o'clock at Colorado Springs, accord
ing to a message received here last
night by his family. Mr.. Buchanan
went to Colorado last fall for his
health and the end came suddenly
yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Buchanan was 81 years old,
and until he left Louisville he was
assistant manager of the Fireproof
Storage Company. He was born in
Crab Orchard, KY, and was son
of Mrs. John Buchanan, who survives
him. He was married last September
to Miss Emily Conway Smith, of
Louisville, and left some time after
for Colorado. Besides his widow and
mother he is survived by his sisters,
Mrs. John AS-Haldeman,- Miss Jean
R. Buchanan, and Mrs. j. w. James
of Crab Orchard; Mrs. A. Adams,
of Frankfort, and one brother, John
Buchanan.

CONTRACTS FOR
STATE-AID WORK
On Pixies to Danville and Crab Or.
chard Let By Fiscal Court to
Jessamine Firm.

Contracts for the reconstruction
of the Stanford and Danville and the
Stanford and Crab Orchard turn
pixies, under the state-aid plans, were
let to Woodland Bros, of Jessamine
county, at special meeting of the
Lincoln County Fiscal Court last Fri
day. Three bidders contended for
the state-aid contracts, and the Jes-
samine county firm won the contract
by making what the court considered
the lowest and best bid for the re-
construction work on the entire
route from Crab Orchard on through
Stanford to Danville, at it's bid of
SLAB per ton for metal on the STAN
ford and Crab Orchard road and
$1.35 ton for the metal on the STAN
ford and Danville pike. In addition
to this, $40 mile is stipulated for
shaping the roadbed. The contending
bidders were the Durrett Construc-
ton Company, of Louisville, and
NhiISHCh dy iOI " OOIl, VI DdHNllc.
The successful bidders have had
much experience in pike and good
roads building, having recently COM
pleted an extensive contract for re-
construction work in Fayette coun-
ty, which is said to have the finest
system of pixies, in the state They
will start work on the Lincoln coun-
ty contract just as soon as the con-
tract made is approved by the State
Commissioner of Roads, as under the
state-aid plan his approval is neces-
sary and specifications must be fol-
lowed out to the letter in all con-
tracts in which the state pays half
of the cost, as is the case in this
contract.
All of the concrete work on the
two pixies required under the recon-
struction plans will be done by Phil
lips Bros, of this city, who secured
the contract. This includes all bridg-
es, culverts, etc., and the selection
of the local. concrete contractors for
this contract insures good work for
few concrete men in enc state have
had more experience than they or are
more competent to give the county
first class service in every way.

MARCH COURT AT STANFORD.

A good run of cattle was in the
pens here Monday, March court day,
almost 1000 being weighed up dur
ing the day. A fine crowd was in
town and business was brisk along
all lines. Most of the beeves brought
to the market here were light heifers
and steers, nothing Of much quality
being offered. The demand for them
was fairly good, however, and few
were taken home unsold. An unusu-
ally large number of sales by the
head were made and some expert
stockmen figured that some of the
light steers which were sold without
weighing, would have brought al
most 10 cents a pound, the way they
sold by the head. Mules were here
in droves, but buyers were not active,
and a lot did not sell. Only choice
animals were in demand, and they
sold up to $160 head.

NEGRO ELEMENT OF C. o. p.
Makes Demand Upon State Commit
tee for a Full Vote.

The leadership of the negro ele-
ment in the republican party, vari-
ously estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000 votes, responding to a call
from George W. Gentry of Stanford,
met in Lexington Thursday and re-
solved to demand of the State Cen
trail Committee a full vote on the
delegation from the state-at-large to
the national convention at Chicago.
Their protest against the action of
the republican convention at Louis
vile is to be conveyed to State Chair
man Ed T. Franks, of Greensboro,
by special committee, headed by E.
E. Underwood, a leading negro of
Frankfort, but it remains to be seen
if their wishes will be respected.
If one of the seven white men who
were named on the delegation to be
headed by Edwin P. Morrow should
resign, the situation would be easy
of solution, but judging from the
manner in which certain of these pie
hungry ones forced themselves on it
and caused the enlargement from
four to eight it would seem that they
would as readily part with an eye as
to give up the preferred position for
the grand distribution of Federal
patronage in the event of the return
of the Republican party to power in
Washington as the result of the next
November election.
The negroes got another poke In
the ribs last week when Robert H.
Lucas was elected Chairman of the
Republican City and County Commit
tee for Louisville and jefferson coun-
ty. Lucas was a progressive in 1913
and supported Wood Axton for May
or. Moreover, he was a party to the
passage of the rule barring negroes
from seats as delegates in Progress
sive conventions. Therefore William
Leonard, a negro committeeman, OPP
posed Lucas election and left the
meeting when it was announced he
had defeated William Hepburn, an
old-line republican, % to IA votes.

TROOPS TO co AFTER VILLA
Agreement Made With Carranza and
Invasion Will Start.

The United States entered into
formal agreement with the Carranza
de factor Government of Mexico I'M
der which American troops will cross
the border to hunt down Villa and
his bandits with the expectation of
hearty cooperation from the Carran-
"a forces. 1t was announced by Maj.
Gen. Funston that Brig. Gen Pershing
would lead the main column into
Mexico and that practically the en-
tire United States army would be
utilized either in the expedition or to
patrol the border. There. were
$500 troops reported last night at
Columbus, N. NJ, and regiments were
reported moving out from Galveston,
San Francisco and Nebraska to the
border.
Francisco Villa has deserted his
supposed mountain refuge and head
ed east, according to reports received
at Juarez last>night. This move ap-
parently takes the bandit away from
the point where the American troop
mobilization is the heaviest, but not
into a part devoid of dangers of cap
ture.
Danger of grave complications
growing out of the sending of Amer
lean troops into Mexico was urged in
the Senate by Senators Chamberlain
and Borah in advocating laying aside
temporarily all other legislation in
order to dispose promptly of pre-
paredneSS measures.
