HAD THREE TRUNKS FILLED
WITH WHISKY; FINED $50

Paris, KY, Aug. PC. L. Rogers,
of Knoxville, Tenn, who attended the
Lexington Fair last week, decided to
take home with him a sufficient sup
ply of Kentucky's noted product to
tide him over the remainder of the
summer. He arrived in Paris over
the interurban and had three large
trunks transferred to the L. & N de-
pot, where they were checked through
to Knoxville. In handling the trunks,
the baggage man noted familiar
smell and notified the police. Rog-
ers was arrested on the charge of
shipping liquor not properly labeled
into a dry territory. When opened
the trunks were found to contain
ninety-six quarts of whisky. Rogers
entered plea of guilty and was fin
ed $50, which he paid and left short
ly after for Knoxville. The whisky
was confiscated by the police.

AMPUTAT|0N
OF Foot Necessary After Being
Run Over By Mine
Morton.
(Simmons Specially

Aug. 13.-Mr. Will Elder, an en-
ploye of the Broadway Coal Mining
Co., was run over by the motor Sat
urday afternoon about 1 o'clock. His
feet were crushed and one of them
was amputated just above the ankle
The other one was crushed so badly
that it will probably have to be am
putated Mater.
The particulars of the accident
could not be ascertained as Mr.. Elder
was by himself and the motorman
did not see him until after he was
run over. Although he was sent to
this place on the main entry to clean
some coal off the road, it is thought
that he heard the motor coming and
intended to work until it was close
to him and then step aside for it
pass, and in raising up touched the
trolly wire and knocked him down
and he failed to get his feet off the
track.
The accident was a great shock to
the camp here as he was considered
one of the best employees of the COM
pany. He is 33 years old and has a
family. He is a member of Chestnut
Camp No. 393 w. o. w. at this place.

Army Aviation Service.

Significant. in view of the popular
conception Of flying as extreme dare
deviltry, is the record Of the United
States army aviation service from
Jan. to Dec. 20, 1916 During that
period 7OS7 flights were made by mill
tary pilots. In all 1857 hours were
spent In the air. which means that
more than nine hours each day Of the.
year some soldier airman was aloft.
The distance Travelled amounted to an.
proximately 251.775 miles. or slightly
more than ten times the circumfer.
ence Of the earth. There was no ia
tally. Evidently these figures can,
not be fairly compared with current
railroad and mOtorcar statistics. Con-
trasts are not needed. however. to ac.
cent their import. Sane flying is not
yet accident proof and possibly never
will be, but neither is II extremely
foolhardy.-Searle Hendee I'm Popular

VILLAGES OF GALICIA.
Where Family, Cattle and Fowls Az
Live In Two Rooms.

Live In Two Rooms.
The villages Of Galicia are especial
ly interesting on Sundays and hOli-
days. when the national costumes are
donned.
The cottages are generally made OF
stone or board plastered over and are
then covered with coat Of whitewash.
The straw roof is frequently crowned
with green growing moss. which adds
to its picturesque appearance If not to
its healthfulness. Water is drawn
from the wells by long pole balanced
near the center. These wells have a
decided old world appearance.
The interior Of the cottages is usual
ly divided into two rooms. In one
room the entire family lives. eats and
sleeps; in the other. in more or less
harmonious contentment, dwell the
cows. pigs. chickens and geese. No
household would be complete without
a number of geese.
Around the cottages number of chill
dren are sure to be seen playing. A
dozen or twenty or thirty of such cot
tages. each separated only by a small
yard, make up village. If there is
manageable daughter In the house
the Intel of the door and the window
surroundings are ornamented with lit
tie irregular bands. which is notice
to the manageable young men.-Chris-

FISCAL COURT
Refuses to Permit County Stock
Election.

While in session last week the Fis-
cal Court had presented a petition
signed bv John Boone and 11S other
citizens of Ohio county FOR an order
permitting an election in the entire
county upon the question, whether
cattle generally OF any species there
of shall be permitted to run. at large"
The court refused to make the order
or allow the election to be so held.
Esquires S. L. Fulkerson and Ben
w. Taylor voted for it and Esqrs. S.
w. Leach, Winson Smith, II. c. Itch
enor, Ed. Shown. B. F. Rice and W.
S. Dean voted against it.

only very expensive to the county
but yields nothing to the State.
In a State like Kentucky where
weather conditions do not permit out
side work for more than one half the
year, making it necessary to prepare
for using prisoners both inside and
outside the penitentiary. convict la
Dor on public roads will ALWAYS be
found a costly experiment. The itch
ing desire to try something new has
in several instances added to the
burdens of the taxpayers.
Reforms are often necessary in
any government, but they should be
brought about after careful study of
the conditions sought to be improved.
Change simply for the sake of insti-
tuting something new is a risky bus
mess.

TRUST THE PEOPLE.

By vote Of six to two the Fiscal
Court disapproved the county unit
principle in dealing with the stock
law proposition; and by refusing to
allow the vote taken in the county as
whole a majority OF the members
express their fear of the result, OF
unwillingness to let the people say
just what they want. Whatever may
have been the cause that prompted
these six gentlemen in denying a sub
mission of the question to the voters
we do not believe it sufficient to ov-
erthrow the time-honored doctrine
of local self government. The peo-
pie can safely be trusted with the So
luton of such governmental prob
lens and we are always willing to
accept their verdict when freely ex-
pressed on any question fairly sub
mitted.
AS to whether or not cattle should
be allowed to run at large is a ques-
ton on which the citizens are nat
urally divided. and it is not our pur-
pose in this instance to discuss the
merits or dement's Of one side or the
other but simply to express our APP
proval Of those who, acting in a rep
resentative capacity, vote at all times
to submit to the people any question
upon which vote is demanded.
The law is that upon the filing of
a petition with certain number of
citizens names signed thereto the
County Court shall call an election
to determine whether or not cattle
shall run at large but it provides
that before this order is made the
Fiscal Court shall, by order, direct
whether the vote shall be taken by
precinct, magiSterial district or coun-
ty. The demand in this case was for
a submission to the voters of the
whole county, and six of the Magis-
trates registered their votes against
the proposition.
1t is only fair to state that the
votes cast by these Magistrates eth
er for or against submission do not
necessarily indicate their personal
views as to the wisdom of restrain
ing stock from running at large, nor
should their views control them to
any extent on the question of sub
mission. In the absence of any evil
dence to the contrary. it is presumed
the officials expressed what they be-
lieved TO be the wishes of their con-
stituents, but in our judgment no
representative can be justly critics.
ed in expressing his willingness to
refer all such questions to the bal
lot in the proper manner, If the
majority make a mistake the respon-
sibility is theirs and not that of the
official who is given a voice allowing
or denying a popular expression of
the electorate of the territory involv-
ed. Let the people speak and then
gracefully abide by the result.

TWIN MULES.

Mr.. J. T. Wedding, of Adaburg
was in town Monday, he having come
to town with his boy, Alphones, who
came before the local exemption
board.
The mare which Mr.. Wedding rode
to town foaled twin mules about the
2Sth of April. and the pair of young
"long ears" are about as large as if
the mare had brought only one colt.
This is the first time we have ever
had the pleasure of seeing twin colts
following a mare.

Several Of our fellow pencil push
ers over the State were candidates
in the recent primary for various
offices, and quite a few of them were
defeated, but there is one Of our par
ticular friends whose name appears
at the masthead of a Kentucky news
paper that "came under the wire" a
winner. We refer to VIM. Hender-
son, one of the editors of the Wick
life Yeoman, of Wickliffe, Ballard
county. Mr.. Henderson won out in
a four-horse race for County Judge
by a majority of sc votes over his
nearest opponent, Judge S. j. Moore,
the incumbent. Considering the fact
that Mr.. Henderson was twice elect
ed Circuit Clerk in that county, and
that he was prominent figure in the
fight to retain the county seat at
Wickliffe when La Center was using
all her energies to have it moved to
that city-naturally making some en-
emies, and the fact that he beat a
man in Judge Moore who every one
comedies to be the hardest man in
Ballard to win over, is evidence of
his popularity and that he is still a
factor in politics down in Ballard.
Congratulations old boy!

How many Ohio county farmers
intend raising a sucker crop of to-
bacco this year? We are not posing
as authority on this sucker crop, but
it appears to us that it could be
made to paw. In other words. the
sucker crop would be entirely velvet
to the farmers. with no labor incl
dent to the raising of it except the
harvesting and curing of same. One
large tobacco buying concern in West
Kentucky advises turning out from
one to three suckers to each hin. We
believe our farmer friends will be
surprised at the yield derived from
so small amount of labor. This is a
Graves county firm that is advising
growers to turn out the sucker crop
and says that it should be worth
100000 to them. If the sucker crop
is worth that much to the farmers in
Graves, the same crop should be
worth just as much in proportion to
the growers in Ohio county. 1t might
not be bad try!

When parallel with the Aleutian islands we encountered ter rife winds and big water. It seemed inevitable that our boat would be swamped, but she weathered the gale. Our party suffered from cold and eX- posture and developed sore feet.
 On the evening of August l3 we at tempted to make Dutch harbor, but the weather prevented us, and run ming before the gale, We were driven far to the south. On August IT we brought up abreast of the Alaskan peninsula and were enabled to replen- ish our exhausted supply of water. The bad weather continued and we de- cided to alter our plans and head for Canada. We were at sea several days before we were able to take a bear ing, but with the advent of sunshine on September 1 we made an observa- tion and discovered we were 66O miles from the Strait of San Juan de Fuca,
 "By this time our provisions were exhausted and we were feeling the bangs of hunger. Our repIenished stock of water was also used up by this time, but my men kept up bold front and made no complaint.
