PATRIOTISM
RAN HIGH
General Observance Of The
Nations Natal Day
Locally.
MEETING AT THE PARK
Last Night When Many Pat
riotic Speeches We're
Made.

Yesterday was the 4th of July, and
all over the county, as well as in the
city, it was observed as the national
holiday should be observed at this
time. In the city all dry goods stores,
shoe stores, furniture stores, barber
shops and other business houses were
closed. The groceries remained open
only a short time in the morning and
the drug stores closed at IL O'Clock.
A big celebration was held at Crofton
and everybody all over the county
was patriotic and went to the nearest
place where a celebration was held.
Last night, however, was the big
night. A great mass meeting was
held at Virginia Park, and almost all
of Hopkinsville was there. Under the
leadership Of Prof j. w. Ireland,
one OF the instructors at the institute,
there was some old-fashioned, sure
enough singing. The band played
stirring music, and the orators did
their usual 4th of July best. Patriotic
speeches were delivered by Prof. E.
B. Weathers, of Elkton, Chas. NJ.
Meacham, 7. c. Underwood and
Lieut.. Alyan H. Clark. Everybody
had great time and went home glad
that we have such a thing as the
Fourth of july.

!. The Local Mines

! strike has tied up the two mines
at Warrington tight but operators Of
the Empire mines claim they are moi
affected. These are the only mines in
Christian county. The mines at Man
nington are unionized and no opposi-
ton was offered the strike, but at
Empire they are strictly non-union,
and for days past preparations have
been under way to forestall any pos
sible tie-up.
The operators at the Empire an
nounced that about one-third of their
force, or about twenty men, failed to
report for duty. But they claim
they have been getting in new
men for two weeks past, and have e.
nough to more than replace the strik-
ers, and that they will turn out more
coal than they have any day recently.

Young Voters Getting Plenty
Of Information From the
Rural Candidates.
DRY ELEMENT IS ACTIVE
Trying to Contest the Legis.
lature and Also to Name
the Sheriffs.

LOUISVILLE, N.Y., July 4.-Wltn the
preferential primaries just a trifie
more than month away politicians
are getting down to hard work and
are planningto make the final month S
campaign count for everything posi-
BILE.
The young voters are getting plenty
of attention from the candidates. At
first blush it was believed by many
that the draft would cut quite a figure
in the coming primaries but it seems
certain now that these voters will not
have to report before sometime in
August which will give them plenty
of time to cast their ballots before
leaving to aid in fighting Uncle Sans
battles.
There is a strange alliance being
formed now, according to the political
wiseacres, and the dry" element is
figuring largely in programs outlined
for every senatorial district in the
state where new members are to be
elected as well in the legislative baili-
wicks. The Beckham Haly faction is
aligned with the Democratic For
ward League" Of which DIR. A. j. A.
Alexander is the head and the Anti
Saloon league. This action is bitterly
opposed to the state administration
land every effort is being made to de-
feat any plans fostered by Governor
Stanley and his followers. 1t is said
that the "dry" wing is not only seek
ing a large majority in the house and
senate but is trying to cut figure in
the nomination of candidates for
sheriff all over the state. The reason
of this is pointed out that sheriffs
have more power than other county
officers in the appointing of election
officers and the conducting of cleo
tons which might prove big factor
in battles yet to be fought.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES DISTRICT.
Col. John c. Duffy, who has been a
wheel-horse in the democratic ranks
of not only Christian county, but all
over the state as well, will not be a
candidate for a seat in the upper
branch of the legislature from the
Christian Hopkins district. While not
making any announcement Of his
withdrawal he failed to quSnfy for
the race. He is strong supporter
OF Governor Stanley and it is believed
he withdrew in order to make it more
certain that an administration man
would get the nomination. There
are three left in the field. Col. w. r.
Howell is looked upon as the admin
istration candidate there now, while
Frank Rives will have the backing of |
the opposing wing. H. A. Robinson, |
the third candidate, has not been
identified with either side.

EAST ST. LOUIS
RACE RIOTINC
Result Of Troubles Of a Month
Ago In Which First Blood
Was Shed.

Race rioting again broke out in East
St Louis, ILL.,, Monday. The trouble
began on May % last, when the rob-
berry of two white men by negroes
precipitated violence which resulted
in injury Of about two score negroes
and dozen white men in four days.
One negro home was burned and a
large number of them left the city.
Saloons and places of amusement
were ordered closed and other steps
were taken to keep crowds off the
streets. The trouble grew out of the
importation of negro laborers from
the South.
The trouble Monday morning, in the
opinion of the policew, las caused by a
desire on the part of the negroes for
revenge.
The trouble began when a mob of
negroes, estimated at 200, each one
armed with some sort of weapon, as
sembled at a church in response r.
the ringing of bell, and b. oan
marching down the street.

Gay az ID by night riot had spread to
,r-lahy parts Of the city.
AT ley 5t 25 negroes were shot and
killed as they fled from their burning
homes, by white mobs. The exact
number who persisted was estimated
in the hundreds, butall estimates were
but guess work. Military rule was
proclaimed and soldiers took charge
at 8 O'Clock, with fires burning in
many places. Hundreds of negroes
fled panic stricken across the bridge !
to st. Louis. The mob disarmed !
guardsmen, and even women took
part in the rioting, urging on the men
to exterminate the negroes.
Thirteen companies of guards are
on duty and Tuesdays count round
ed up 20 dead, rs wounded and 3IOl
negro houses burned over an area of
l6a acres. Critics of the authorities
say not single act of bravery was
reported on the part on any soldier or
policeman. Gov. Lowden went in
person to the scene and displayed an
yer at criticism of the militia by mem
'ers OF the chamber of commerce.
