There Two Days.

The w. C. T. U. Convention held
at Moreland the 18th and 18th was
one of the best ever held in this dis
trict. The gold medal contest held
on the evening of the 18th was we'll
attended and a great deal of interest
manifested. Miss Cora Nunnelley
won the medal. The two sessions of
the convention held on the 18th were
we'll attended and full of enthusiasm
Delegates were there from Danville,
Stanford, Hustonville, Mckinney,
Liberty and Moreland Unions.
Mrs. Frances E. Beauchamp, the
state president, conducted the insti-
tute hour which was helpful to all
present. Some splendid talks and pa
pers were given, also reports from
different unions, showing much good
work done in past year. Moreland
was untiring in extending her hospi-
tally. An excellent noon lunch was
served The convention was closed
with Mrs. Beauchamp's magnificent
address, which many said was the
best she was ever heard to give.
The resolutions adopted at the con-
vention were as follows:
With gratitude to our Heavenly
Father for this convention, We, the
Woman's Christian Temperance I'm
ion of Division B., of the Eighth Dis
trict of Kentucky in Convention as
sembled at Moreland, June 10th,
1916, do hereby declare:
First-That we are organized for
the prohibition of the liquor traffic,
and do re-affirm our stand for total
abstinence for the individual, and
for State and National Prohibition
Second-That whereas scientists
have proven that tobacco is harmful
especially to the growing youth, we
do heeby oppose the use of it, and
declare for even greater activity in
education against it, especially the
cigarette.
Third-That we do rejoice in the
recent efforts made in this county
for the enforcement of the prohibi-
ton laws and do hereby ask that the
county officers do all in their power
to convict the transgressors of the
law.
Fourth-Whereas the liquor traffic
is the great enemy of the home, and
state, and we believe that prohibi-
ton and woman's suffrage go hand
in hand we do declare our belief in
equal suffrage for woman with man,
that by united efforts the home and
public conditions may be improved.
Fifth-That we have copy of
these resolutions published in the
white Ribbon the Interior Journal

guard plunged into the pitfall, un-
seating their riders and injuring a
number of them.
Then, the Mexican asserted, the
Carranza forces lying in ambush
raked the American ranks with a ma
chine gun.
The heavy fire forced the Ameri-
cans to withdraw to reorganize their
lines and. the Mexicans captured sew
enteen soldiers, who had been
thrown into the Pit.
He asserted that it was then that
General Gomez went forward under
flag of truce and that before the
proposed parley had begun an ire
sponsible soldier again started the
gun fire.
A small detachment of cavalrymen
charged toward General Gomez and
his party, who were in the center
of their field directly between the
two commands, their pistol fire kill
ing the Mexican leader.
According to the story, both COM
mands withdrew. The Mexican was
unable to estimate the Mexican dead
but asserted that the American dead
numbered forty.
Military authorities here expressed
no doubt that both commands suffer
ed heavily in the fight, but pointed
out that no information concerning
the engagement other than from
Mexican sources has been received.

BUILDING A GREAT ROADWAY
State Inspector Comes Here to Look
at Work on c. o. Pike.

Uncle John" White, of Richmond.
former representative from Madison
county in the legislature, was here
Monday afternoon, to inspect the
state-aid road which is being built
on the crab Orchard pike. "Uncle
John" has been appointed an inspec-
tor by the State Road Department,
and he found one of the very best
roads being built anywhere under
state supervision right here. County
Engineer McKeeRiffe, who has super
vision of the work for the county,
is seeing to it that the county is get
ting the full worth of its money in
every way, while the Woodland Con-
struction firm knows how to build a
road and is building one that will be
credit and convenience for long
time to come.
The grading of the road from Crab
Orchard to the Rockcastle county
line which is being done under con-
tract by Gus Gieszl and his force of
men is being pushed rapidly and in
good shape. Mr.. Gieszl had an enor-
nous task before him but he has
handled it well and has the road
about in shape for metal. He cut
down the well known slate hill to
about a per cent grade, which was
a big job in itself. Arrangements
are now being made to build the 40
foot span bridge over the creek. The
bridge will be of concrete, and will
be a fixture as long as there is a
road.

YOUNCSTER DRANK BOOZE

Henry, the little son of Seymore
Brownfield, of Mercer county, was
saved from death by heroic efforts
after he had drank a large quantity
of whisky this week. The little fell
low, with his father, had gone to Wis
it William Pulliam, neighbor, and
while playing around the house got
hold of bottle of whisky. Before
he was detected he drank a quantity
out of quart bottle, something
over a half pint it is thought. He
was taken violently i'll and lost con-
seriousness. He was hurried to town
where DIR. Price administered restor-
atives. After working with the boy
for several hours he showed no sign
of recovering consciousness and his
life was despaired of. However, late
Sunday night he revived and is now
on the high road to recovery. The
boy was unconscious nearly twelve
hours.

HEMP BREAKING REVOLUTION

Warren p. Elkin, of Winchester.
who recently invented a power hemp
breaking machine, has tried it out
and finds that it does the work per-
fectly and economically. The ma
chine has capacity of four thousand
pounds per day of ten hours. The
hemp does not have to be rotted so
long or so much and there will be a
great saving in weight and quality
over the old method of breaking and
the new machine does not make any
thing like as much tow as the hand
break. When the hemp is sufficient
ly rotted the hemp can be assembled
in the field or better in a barn, if
it is convenient, and the hemp can
be broken out in any kind of wealth

can be hauled from shock to shock in

MULES WILL co SKY HIGH
In the Event Uncle Sam Gets Into a
Real War With Mexico.

eff war comes on with Mexico,
mules are going sky high" thus said
Bowen G. Fox, the big mule buyer
of Danville, to an |. j. representative
Wednesday, and Mr.. Fox knows.
Mr.. Fox will begin buying for
Kindig, of Pennsylvania and also for
Wright, of Columbia. Tenn, about
the middle of July. He has already
contracted to buy extensively for
them. Both are said to have con-
tracts to furnish mules to warning
nations in Europe, and now the
United States is going to get ac-
lively into the market for mules.
Mr. Fox says that he will buy prin-
cipally unbroken, two-year-old mules
for Kindig, but for war purposes,
broken and more aged animals will
be actively in demand. Quite a num-
Der of Lincoln county mule men
have stocked up heavily, foreseeing
last year just such a condition as
seems to have developed in the mule
market.
High class mule colts are already
selling at top figures. The record
price in this part of the state seems
to have been S125, and they are not
going for any higher figure any
where else so far as the /. j. can
learn. The Mt. Olivet Tribune
Democrat told of the following good
mule colt sales last week in Robert
son county: During the past week
E. L. Tilton has bought a number of
sucking mules, sired by Hester and
Perry's jack, Spanish King, for
which he paid fancy prices. He
bought one of VIM. Henderson, pay
ing S11O; one of Henry Askins, pay
ing 500; one of Mrs. Emma Hemin-
ger paying 500; one of Charles
Henson, paying $105; one of Maui
rice Denahey, paying 1925"

he will again play Stanford under
the auspices of the Independent Or

an entire week. His show last year

BOOTLEGGERS
HARD HIT AGAIN
Two Moreland Negroes, to Whom
Chas. Reid Had Whisky Shipped,
Catch Heavy Fines.

Two more Moreland bootleggers
caught stiff fines in court here Thurs
day, when Judge j. P. Bailey slapped
500 and 10 days in Jail on Felix
Anderson and $50 and 10 DAYS on
George Mccormack. Both are col
ored. The testimony showed that
Charley Reid, who is now hiding out
to avoid payment of a $4,000 fine,
had bought liquor from a wholesale
house and had it shipped to More
land to these two negroes. Bills
were found, from the whisky houses,
showing the amounts of the ship
ments and the names of those to
whom Reid had the booze sent in.
Anderson was shown to have obtain
ed 20 gallons of whisky since jan
uary %, 1916. Reid Mccormack
and Walter Mccormack were acquit-
ted on similar charges.
Deputy Sheriff w. S. Drye Thurs
day also arrested Jonas Ingram, a
white man of that section, and who
is father-in-law of Charley Reid.
Three indictments for selling whisky
have been returned against Ingram
by the grand jury.
Friday morning Frank and Brack
Reid, brothers of Charley, were
brought to Jail here, having been ar
rested upon evidence of the Law and
Order League of the West End,
which has determined to break up
boot-legging in that section if it can
be done. They are charged with hav-
ing liquor in their possession for pur-
poses of sale. John sAlcorn, a negro,
charged with having tried to whip a
negro woman, was also arrested and
brought to Jail. The trial of the
two Reid boys will probably be held
Monday.
