Put in Readiness For Beautiful
Memorial Building

Gen. Bennett II. Young and Gen.
Geo. w. Littlefeld, of Austin, Texas,
visited the Davis Home at Fairview at
ten o'clock Tuesday. Theywere met
by delegation of Hoplsinsville busi-
ness men, a number Of ladies Of the
United Daughters Of the Confederacy
and other interested .psrties. It was
a fine day and the visitors, escorted
by Col. C. F. Jarrett and DIR. f. S.
Stuart, inspected the besutifuf tract OF
20 acres, enclosed on the two sides
facing the highways by a massive
stone fence. The other two, sides are
separated from adjoining property by
wire fences. The lot slopes up from
the main street in Fairview, lying on
both sides of the county line, and the
higher or southern end of it is crown
ed with a pretty grove OF trees.
About midway of the lot, which is al
most square, the visitors selected a
site for the proposed memorial. There
are three gates in the wall, one for a
driveway entering on the north and a
similar one ON the west, near the
southern corner A small gate is in
the northwest corner. 1T is proposed
to get a landscape gardner to lay out
the grounds, plan walksand driveways
and grade the lou places in the front
of the lot. To do this "a depression
back of where the memorial will
stand will be deepened and made into
pretty little lake. Some rocks APP
pearing here and there will be re-
moved and utilized for making con-
crete walks The two visitors made
a short visit to the Fairview school
near by, whEae the crowd was assem-
bling. AT 1890 the people present
assembled in front of the house still
on the GROUNDS purchased from DR..

porch Gen. Young introduced Gen.
Etleheh as "a gallant veteran "a

HUGHES HARD
ON LABOR
Says the Adamson Bill Was
a Surrender To
Force.

Renewing his attack on the Admir-

ed in a speech at Springfield, Ill.,,
Tuesday night that passage OF the
Adamson eight-hour law was IA sur
render TO force, " and challenged the
statement of Representative AdamsOn
that an emergency existed. He said
that the measure related solely TO an
increase in wages. He said:
1--WE have an unjustiiable attempt
to use public sentiment with respect
to an eight.hour working day in or
der TO justify bill which does not
provide an eight-hour work day, but
relates solely to an increase in wages.
We have seen the choice of what
seemed to be the easier way, which
escaped the necessity OF determined
stand for principle. We have seen
what appeared to be the consideration
of immediate political expediency at
the expense Of public welfare"

in creditable manner. He did not
say to what extent he would go in his
speech, but he said privately that he
would give 81 for every 81 given by
others.
Gen. Young followed him and paid
an eloquent tribute to Mr.. Davis and
told of the trouble encountered in get

more beautiful than the Lincoln park

MOOSE
VOTE SPLIT
Bare Majority Fayors Repub-
lican Over Democrat For
Governor.

New York, Sept 20.-A close con-
test between Gov. Chas. S. Whitman,
Republican, and Judge Samuel Sea-
bury, Democrat, for the Progressive
Endorsement for the eu)ernatOr al
nomination was indicated by the ear
ly returns from the Statewide prima-
ries. The indications were that Whit
man would be the victor.
The Progressive vote aroused more
interest among State and national
leaders than any other feature of the
primary, for il was regarded as Civ
ing some light on how the strength of
the party would be divided in the ma
tional election. A majority of the
Progressive leaders of the State sup
ported Whitmans candidacy. The
leaders of the socalled insurgent wing
who gave their aid to Judge Seabury,
professed TO be more than satisfied
with the result.
William M. Chandler, Republican,
and William F. McCombs, Democrat,
apparently were assured of the nomi-
nations for United States Senator.
