ly in its last weeks issue that the
report was absolutely without foun-
dalton, as LaRue, like all other
counties, had men called in the first
draft that were physically unfit and
those that claimed exemptions. The
Hodgenville paper seemed to regret
very much that LaRue county was
put before the eyes of the nation in
the wrong light, even though as It
was reported. it was to her credit,
and admonishes the young reporter
who started the story to be more
careful next time and state facts.
Thus old honest Abe's native county
that reported a perfect score in the
draft. falls back into line with the
remainder Of Kentuckv counties.

The editor was down in Ballard
and Graves counties a week or SO
ago, and had the pleasure of riding
over some of the excellent roads Of
these two counties, The young man
who took us from his home to Wick
liffe-a distance Of nine miles-said
that he could now put 5000 pounds
on his wagon, hitch two horses to it
and pull it to town with more ease
than he could 1000 pounds before
the roads were graveled. hills cut
down, etc. There is no disputing the
fact that good roads shorten the dis
lance between any given poipts just
one-half, and most of the progress
sive counties in the State are realiz-
ing this and building good roads.
Ohio county is woefully behind many
other counties in Kentucky in the
matter of roads, but we are living in
hopes that she will wake up some
day, and put her highways in better
shape.

Will S. Kaltenbacner, political
writer on the LCdisville Times. says
that is Possible that the Democrats
OF elliott county, in the Thirty-sec-
ond Senatorial district, will sulk in
their tents in November, and if they
do it will impelil party success, as
the district is very close politically.
This he SAYS because Bud Priehard,
the administration candidate. was de-
J feated by V. b. Southridge, an anti
administration man. Possibly Mr.,
Kaltenbacher is "jes" guessing at it;
| like he does about a good portion of
! the things he writes about. A few
weeks ago we noticed in his column
| that John II. Roach, representative
/ from Graves county last year, an
avowed anti-administration man, was
beaten in the Purchase county for
| County Court Clerk. The truth is
Mr.. Roach never run the race out
he having withdrawn sometime he
fore the primary and enlisted under
the colors of Uncle Sam. The Times
is a very ardent supporter of the
administration, and Mr.. Kaltenbachei
does not hesitate to put things be-
fore the people of the State in the
wrong light if it is necessary to gain
point for his man.
