RACERS ON HANCOCK FARMS TO
BE CATALOGUED.

The work of tabulating and COM
piling pedigrees of all the race stock
on the stock farms of Mr. Arthur B.
Hancock, "Ellersile," in Virginia,
and Claiborne" near Paris, has
begun under the direction of Mr..
Kenner Walker, secretary of the Ken
lucky Sales Co. The documents will
give complete family history, rae
ing accomplishments and notations
concerning the seventy-one brood
mares and three stations, Celt,
Rockview and the Imported Wrack.
These mares and stations are now
in the breeding establishments of
Mr.. Hancock, in Virginia and near
Paris. The tabulations will be made
in such way that they will be valu-
able documents in years to come, for
students of thoroughbred history, as
well as to Mr.. Hancock. Each ped
igree will contain complete informa-
ton regarding each sire and dam.

KRESS co. INAUGURATES NEW
BENEFIT PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES

A mutual benefit plan, something
akin to the proft-sharing plan, which
has so successfully worked in the
large cities, will be put into effect
at the Paris store of the Kress Co.,
by which the employees will be the
beneficiaries.
The plan in effect is to provide a.
system by which each employee of the
Kress Co., after six months service,
will be practically paid bonus
amounting to years salary, and will
automatically increase until it has
reached the sum of $4,000. All this
will be absolutely free of cost to the
employees. All their employees, in
Guiding porters, janitors, salesladies,
ETC., will benefit by the plan, which
is a most commendable one. At the
end of each six months service with
the company the employe will be, ac-
cording to the intent of the PROPOSE
ton, made a sharer in the Kress Co. g
good will to the extent of a years
salary.
The proposition is certainly most
liberal one, and one that will have
good effect in cementing the ties of
good fellowship and efficiency be-
tween the operating forces, the man
agement and the sales forces of the
Kress Co.

DANGEROUS PROPAGANDA HINT.
ED IN PRINTED CIRCULAR.

1t was reported that Government
agents were here yesterday investi-
eating the printing and attempted
circulation of circular by colored
men, which it was claimed, contain
ed seditious and infiamatory matter
calculated to cause trouble with the
labor situation in this vicinity.
At the instance of Federal Agent
Thompson, Of Lexington, Chief of
Police Link on Wednesday seized and
suppressed the further circulation of
a bunch of printed circulars, bearing
the names at the bottom of John
Asher and Thos. Cage, two colored
BARRIERS.
The handful started out by recit-
ing the struggle of the negro as a
self-supporter and the part he has
played as strikebreaker in settling
strikes. 1t was claimed by the men
who had the circular printed that it
was merely intended as a blow at
colored BARRIERS who had been accused
of cutting prices for tonsorial work,
but it contained what the police re-
gard as some very inf1ammatory
statements, especially calling atten-
ton to the race riots in Feast St.
Louis some time ago. In one place
the circular deplored the fact that
colored men were going to work in
factories, on farms, in stores, etc., at
what was considered low wages, and
Jim Growing labor"
The circular also deplored the fact
that the white man was using the
colored man as tool and in settling
difficulties when the white man
wanted more money"
1t was generally admitted that
just at this time, when there is a
scarcity of labor and prices ruling
high, the farmers and growers are
face to face with very serious prob
lem, and it was thought the circu-
lation of these handbills would have
bad effect. The circulars were
confiscated, and the few that had
been placed in circulation were gath
cred up and destroyed. 1t is probable
that further action may yet be taken
in the matter. In view of distur-
Dances some time ago at North Mid
dletown and other places in the
equity, and certain alleged indis-
Greet utterances among those appar-
emily seeking to cause dissatisfaction
among the colored people, the au-
thorities are going to make an effort
to find out the men higher up, and
administer the proper remedy.

NOW DRILLING EIGHT WELLS.

The Columbia Oil & Gas Company
is again fortunate. Through their
manager, Mr.. McClurkin, they were
able to secure a driller in Winches-
ter a few days ago, with his rig all
ready to move on the train to Tor
rent, and thence to their property in
Lee county. Mr.. McClurkin immedl-
ateIy closed a contract with him for
FIVE wells, and work is to be rushed
as rapidly as possible. This will make
eight wells which this progressive lit

NOW COMES THE WAR SAVINGS
STAMP CAMPAIGN.

Following closely on the heels of
the recently-closed and highIy-suc-
cessful Red Cross campaign in this
city and county, will come the cam
paign for the sale Of thousands of
War Savings or Thrift Stamps,
which will be in full force in this ter
ritory by June 1.
The campaign is destined to be in
full force and effect from June 1, al
though Miss Elizabeth Steele of Paris,
County Chairman, will have an office
open in this city, in the Bourbon-Ag-
ricultural Bank building in a few
days. This office will remain open
until the last week in June. Sales
will be conducted on the streets by a
corps of young women from the start
to the close of the campaign. On
June % mass-meeting will be held
in the Opera House. The big bill
board in the court house yard will be
utilized in the campaign with appro-
pirate appeals to the public as to the
necessity of supporting the War Saw
ings Stamp movement.
Miss Steele, as Chairman, has Sc
lected the following corps of assist
ants, who will have charge of the
work in their respective precincts:
North Middletown, Mrs. John T. Col
Inns and Mrs. Allie Dickson; Millers-
burg, Mrs. c. NJ. Best and Mrs. Chas.
Darlington; North Middletown No.2,
Mrs. Walter Kenney and Mrs. James
Dodge; Hutchinson, Mrs. George ia
CODY; Clintonville No. 2, Mrs. ThOmp-
son Tarr; Clintonville No. /, Mrs.
Birdie Clay Webb; Leesburg, Mrs.
Anna Belle Wallace; Clintonville,
Miss Katherine Weathers; Shawhan,
Mrs. George Current; Little Rock,
Mrs. Elmer Boardman.
To carry out the program of Ma
tional economy demanded of the
American people by the war they
must adopt scientific and systematic
methods of economy. Spasmodic
and periodic saving will not fulfill
the demand upon us.
One method. that has been propos-
ed and has the approval of the Treas
ury Department is for every Ameri-
can to pledge himself or herself to
economic and save, and with the
savings at definite periods purchase
specific amounts of War Savings
Stamps.
We must give our Nation, we must
give our men in arms, all the
strength and support possible. To do
this we must cut our own demands
on the labor, material and money Of
the country to the limit, and in
crease to the limit the supply of
money, material and labor available
to the Government. All of our ener-
gies and resources should be devoted
to the winning of the war, and to &C
complish this we must economic,
save and lend to the Government.
A definite systematic plan of saw
ing, strengthened by resolve and a
pledge to save and lend to the Gov
eminent, will be productive of the
best results. The saving plan cam
paign is now on. Every patriotic
American should make a pledge to
save and keep the pledge.

The BOY Choir Mt All Saints.

Concerning this unique organization,
The only one OF its Kind in Richmond.
so far as the writer is aware, il is a
matter of pleasure to outline some
thing of the work which All Saints
boy choir is doing and 10 mention
some OF the benefits which il bcStows
upon its youthful members. Ernest II.
Cosby, who has been the organiSt and
choirmaster at All Saints since 1901.
except for "A short period when be was
away from Richmond. has Furnished
the writer with much interesting data
from which the following comments
are taken:
With an attendance which has aver
aged during the past season some
forty-four voices boys and men. the
training which the boys receive makes
ii one of the best places for them to
learn the fundamentals Of voice cul-
ture and. almost without exception. the
boys are !<icndid readers after "a short
association with the choir. They be-
come adopts in Sight-readinG; nothing
is too difficult for them. They are far
quicker in this respect than adults. ana
another feature OF their proficiency is
that the youthful mind retains the ma
sic and the boys can deliver from mem
CRY the most intricate music even after
er has said that pupils who have had
experience In this choir have been al
most perfect in reading ability.
Regular rchearsals are held three
times each week; so it is hardly to be
