SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN
GOOD ROADS CONVENTION.
Lexington, kentucky. September 5ih To
9Th, Inclusive.

There are many reasons why this
Eighth Annual Convention Of the
Southern Appalachian Good Roads
Association should Be the most Success.
ful aid useful Convention ever held by
this Association.
Since the last Convention, Tennessee
has organized State Highway
Department and the State Highway
Commission Of North Carolina has been
organized End is accomplishing splendid
results Also. within the last six
months, Congress has passed an act
appropriating seventy-five million
dollars for Federal Aid to States in
road construction. with an additional
ten million to be used on roads in
Government Forest Reserves. This
provision of the Federal Government.
together with the recent floods which
have visited large areas in the
Southern Appalachian region. have
created problems for this general sec
tion which can be most successfully
met by the getting together of all
those who are interested in the pro
motion of good roads throughout this
geneal region.
Therefore. the subjects which will be
discussed in detail at this Convention
will be Federal Aid. with particular
reference to the provisions Of the act.
and the question of Road Maintenance.
This latter subject is of especial H..
'erest in view of the fact that one Of
the provisions Of the Federal Aid bill
is that MAINTENANCE for roads
constructed with this Federal cooper.
alton MUST BE PROVIDED by the
states receiving such aid. Among
those who will discuss the Federal Aid
Roads bill are Mr.. l.. w. Page. Direct.
or of the u. 5. Office Of Public Road.

ky State Fair. designed to improve the

with pure bred cattle, sheep. hogs and
poultry. Horses and mules will not be
sold at this years auction sale. but if
it proves the great success that its
promoters hope, it will be include d
next year.
1t was decided not to overload the
auction sales this year, but to encour-
age the improved breeding of live stock
in the four fields decided upon.
No commission will be charged in the
auction sales, and the only expense in
Cured by those who desire to offer
their stock for sale will be the actual
feed and nominal fees for stable room.
Such sales held in other States have
been productive of wide distribution of
pure blooded stock and of decided i'm
provement in the breed of live stock in
nearby communities.

tendance. provision has been made by
Louisville civic organizations to guar
antee that no one who attends the fair
vii. have to 20 without a nights lodg-
ing. Boarding houses have been com

HON. A. B. BROWN.
CHAIRMAN OF COUNTY COMMITTEE.

Our County Democratic Committee,
made no mistake in selecting Hon. A.
b. Brown to succeed Hon. j. |. Ham
ilton. resigned He seems to be the
UNANIMOUS choice of the party, and de-
servedly so. because he has been for
more than thirty years, one of the
most tireless and constant workers for
the success of Democracy in the county.
He serves the party for his love and
interest in the success of the organiza-
ton and not with the view of running
or holding office. The place to which
he is elected, places him at the head of
the party IN the county and is one of
great responsibility. 1t can be under
stood that he will always act for the
good of the party and give all fair
deal, which is always productive of
party harmony and leads to party sue
cess. The committee at the same
time recommended that the proper
authorities appoint committee to fill
the vacancies in the committee, namely
Sim Wheeler, Walkers School House,
Hogan Ballard IN West Bryantsyllle.
Charlie Dean in East BryantsviIle. and

SAYSNEW HAVEN LINES MONOPOLY
 IS"REAS0NABLE''
Counsel For Directors, in Summing Up, Says Road
 Saved New England.

New York. Jan. 4.|The sl1rarning g up of the testimony in behalf of the defense was begun today at the trial of the II former, directors of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, with Richard V. Lindabury, personal counsel for William Rockefeller, ad- dressing the jury.
 The point at issue, he said, was not that the defendants had acquired this property, but whether they had a con scious plan to Inonopolize commerce, whether they originally had broad plan which they conspired to. carry out and whether the monopoly was unlawful and an unreasonable re- straint of trade injurious to the pulp lie. N
 Livery railroad is in fact a monop- op1y." he said. f'It depends upon whether the monopoly is unlawful whether it is unreasonable"
 MT. Lidabury set forth the reasons why he thought the growth of the New Haven was a reasonable one and the result attained a necessity for the de- veloprnent of business interests of New England.
 Never" he said, 'shas there been in the history of this country a devel- opment more natural ana more normal than has gone on in the last 25 years in New England and which has led to
 
 the present situation. Every econ o1nic reason favored it. if it did not compel it.''
 .New, England would otherwise have withered and shrive1led .up,1 he said
 MT. Lindabury then reviewed varl- ous phases of the case. The taking over of the, Old Colony in 1893, he said,' was dua to the fact that it's con tro4 was being sought by A. A. Mo Leod. ''who already had obtained control of more trackage in New Eng land than the New Haven owned.
 This he said, Would have cut off the New Haven's head They took it in self f-protection."
 The acquisition of the New York and New England, also a Mcleod road, was the result of one of the railroad fights common in those days, said the lawyer.
 It so happened he said, that the strength and the brains were on the side of Morgan and Rockefeller. If they had been on the side of Mcleod If he had been brainier and strong er-the result might have been diff ferent. It was one of the railroad fights that we older men remember were common enough in those days. Those fights are not permitted any more. Railroads are regulated now. !"
