Railroad Men Re-
ceive Back Pay.

Railroad men working out Of
Lexington on the Paducah-Mem-
phis Division of the Nashville, Chat
tanooga & St. Louis Railway sys-
TEN, were made happy last Friday
and Saturday by receiving their
back pay under the ruling of Di-
rector.General William G. McAdoo.
Most all employees we're benefited
and their back pay amounted to
something like $4,000.
The life of the railroad man is
not only one of strain and hard
work, as shown by their compara-
lively early aging, but it is full OF
hazard, his life being at stake
every day and night while he is on
duty. For this reason he thinks he
should be allotted work hours that
will give him an even chance in life

GQYern0r Tom Rye.
Makes Fine Speech.

Gov. Tom c. Rye, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for the
United States Senate, filled his ap-
pointment to speak in Lexington on
last Tuesday afternoon. Securing
the use of the splendid band with
the Pullen's Show, which is perform
ing here this week, a crowd ssffici-
ent to about fill the Circuit Court
room was called together. The
meeting was opened by Mayor l.. T.
Fielder, who introduced Rev. P. D.
7. ROBBERS, who introduced the can
didate.
Gov. Rye made by far the best
speech we have ever heard him de-
liver on any subject and to deny
that his speech made him votes
here and will make him more in the
county, would be folly. The
speech was well connected,
plain, filled with patriotic .fervor
and was received with repeated
and vigorous applause. Gov. Rye
could not fail to be gratified over
his Lexington appointment, for the
fact that he delivered the speech Of
his public career was conceded
freely even by those who will vote
for Judge Shields.
Publication of THE PROGRESS is de-
layed a day in order to give the
people news of the election if posi-
BILE, but this notice of the speaking
is written on Wednesday, the day
before the election.

John Reeves, draft soldier, who
is alleged to have deserted the Unit

father-in.law Of Reeves, was accus.
ed of harboring the deserter and
was arrested on that charge last
Friday, but was released on $3.50

People Breathed
Easier Next Day.

Tuesday afternoons papers
brought the news that a million
Huns had launched a stupenduous
effort to halt the Allied Armies on
the Western front and that villages
had been lost to the Allies, with al
so the loss to the enemy of consid-
erable terrain; but Wednesday
mornings Commercial Appeal (the
first to reach Lexington) came with
the glairing headline "Yanks beat
back Prussian counter blow" and
the readers heaved a great sigh of
relief. Other headlines told that
the Hun counter attacks had failed
to check the rush of the American
boys-that the Yanks were proving
their ability to out-kill the best Ger
man troops. The information
comes across the Atlantic that the
Germans have come to regard the
American troops as menace and
that they are preparing masses OF
troops to make the most desperate
effort to stop the march of the AL
lies to Berlin-the home lair of the
Beast" Wilhelm.

HOW THE FIGHTING ON THE WEST
arm FRONT OPENED UP THIS WEEK.

great German supply bases for the
enemy troops inside the Soissons-
Rheims salient.
On Sunday the German line had
been driven back more than twelve
miles from the point South of Cha
teau Thiery, where the allied troops
locked the door to Paris against the
enemy on the 18th of July and at
which time the Allied forces be-
came the aggressors in what has
developed into one Of the great
est battles of the war.
With all Of this it is not claimed
that the retreat of the enemy had
become rout and it was conced-
ed last Sunday that the greater por-
ton of the armies of the Crown
Prince would be successful in reach
ing in order the line where it was
intended for them to turn and make
a stand. But the opening news for
the week opening was gloriously
encouraging and made America
wish for the continued and rapid
shipment of American troops to
Europe to take a hand in the GER
tain undoing of the hated Huns.

Last Monday evening between 5
and 6 o'clock, at old Pipkin or Cedar
Grove, three miles South of SCOTS
Hill, the boiler of the Greasy Bros.
saw mill exploded, killing Lum
Greasy and Joe Dean on the spot
and injuring Edwin, the 5-year-old
son of Lum Greasy; so that he
died Tuesday night; Rural Scott,

50 injured that amputation was nec-
essary Tuesday.
We are informed that the ma
chinery of the mill was stopped for
the day, while there was yet con-
siderable steam and that when ad-
ditional water was pumped into the
boiler the explosion occurred.
The accident was one of the most
fearful that has ever happened from
such cause in this county.
Little Edwin Greasy died Tues
day night, the father who was killed
in the accident is survived by his
wife and one other son, older than
Edwin.
Joe Dean left a wife and several

baby boy, and there are six other
children.
