At last a real milk wagon has been put into commission by W. A. Lines and company of Morenci, the

Only one thing has been mo- ticed that is lacking on the wagon, but possibly not necessary, and that is a gong or bell. The Lines milk service has been exceptionally good under MT. Maloy's management and the increase in prices was caused largely by the high price of feed.

Oil Tax Levied

At its meeting Saturday the
Powell Fiscal Court levied a tax
of one. half of one per cent of the
market value of all the oil pro-
duced IN the county, the same to
90 into the general fund. The
Times did hope to see this go to
the road fund so the county could
daaw a like amount from State
Aid. This tax was made possible
by the enactment of the McGlOne
bill at the special term of the
Legislature last winter. Powell
is the first county in the State to
make such levy, and did not suf-
fer the loss of single days tax
in making it, as Saturday was the
end of the fiscal year. The law
took effect July 1st, and our
court was equal to the occasion
by levying the tax in time so
that the new tax would begin
accruing the very first day pos
slble,

Fiscal Court Meeting

The Powell Fisca, Court con.
vened at Stanton Monday with
all the magistrates and Judge
Knox present. The object of the
meeting seemed to be 10 arrive
at some plan to effect the sale of
the bonds voted in this county
April 10th, 1916. These bonds
were awarded to Fields, Richards
& Co., of Cincinnati, last No.
vember, but so far the Company
has failed to receive them. Mr.
L. III. Fuller, County Treasurer,
had been sent to Cincinnati to
ascertain if the Company was
going TO receive them. His re.
port to the Court was TO the ef-
feet that the Company had failed
to get a satisfactory report on the
assessment of the county, and
that they had been told that a
suit was pending that would at.
tack the legality of the bonds,
and that one of the county's cit
izens had come 10 Cincinnati
and advised them of the suit and
warned them that they were buy.
ing a lawsuit in accepting the
bonds. In the face Of these con.
ditlons the Company had turned
down the bonds.
An effort willbe made to sell
the bonds to other persons. In
the meantime work on the road
Is being held up. Conditions how
ever are just as they have been
since November 22nd. Still there
Is a hope that everything will be
untangled in a very short time
and the good roads construction
work proceed.

where they heard one of the best
addresses going the rounds Of the
country. 1t was delivered by
Prof. Robt. f. Spence, of Berea,
now doing county agent work in
five counties. He is indeed a
very plausible and entertaining
speaker. His remarks made a
serious impression upon his
hearers.
Remarks were also made by
the Rev. q. w. Kerstetter, Miss
Harriet Searles and County Agent
H. Ii. Harrison. Miss Searles
made an earnest plea for Powell
county's undivided support of the
Red Cross.
After the addresses and the
singing of patriotic songs, the
Stars and Stripes were hoisted to

with impressive ceremonies.
The success of the occasion and

Washington, Jan. l2-The reply
OF the Entente Powers to President
Wilson's recent note suggesting that
the belligerents make known their
terms for peace has been received by
President Wilson. Restitution, rep

The Entente reply is regarded in all

The official view on first considera-

Messages from Murray Wednesday
night were received saying that the
town was in the hands of mob
threatening violence to Judge c. H.
Bush, because he had ordered the
negro Lube Martin sent out of town
upon information that mob was
forming. The negro with three 9th

in an automobile and the excitement
followed when the people coming to
town found that the trial had been
postponed and the negro sent back to
Hopkinsville.

In dealing with the mob who sent
their messengers to him with a form
al notice that he was to be murdered
unless he recalled the negro Martin,
Judge Bush acted with commendable
courage and wisdom. He first exact
ed from the men supposed to be in
control of the mob guaranty, ac-
cepted by the Commonwealth At
torney, that the mob would dispense.
He then ordered the return of the
negro on the following day and the
Governor was called upon to send
protection to enforce the guaranty.
The &c 'ernor then took charge ofthe
situation, relieving Judge Bush OF
further responsibility, but with the
unfiinching courage his friends knew
he possessed, Judge Bush stood his
ground until the mob had promised to
be good. He gained the time neces-
sary to appeal to reason and the wis
dom of his course was indicated.
Gov. Stanley found Judge Bush mas
ter of the situation and his eloquent
appeal and firm stand did the rest.
The negro will be tried Feb. 8, and il
necessary to send troops Gov. Stanley
has a month to get company in
readiness.
