Congress they manifested their
good will by presenting him with
a fine saddle horse on which he
made the canvass.
The occasion of its formal pre-
sentation was a political picnic
at this place given by his friends
which was attended by several
thousand persons.
He was always and ardent ad-
vocate of temperance-an in
this regard he practiced what
he preached. He never used in
toxicating liquors or tobacco,
and, | suppose, was never known
to use a profane or obscene word
in his speeches, l never in pub.
lie or private, heard him tell an
anecdote which bordered on the
vulgar.
A reasonable limit to this ar.
ticle will not permit me to enter
upon his career as a lawyer.
His practice was largely in the
defense of criminals. Civil bust.
ness was not in his line. Plead
ing ip the legal sense was not
his forts. He knew but little
about the written alterations of
the courts and technical niceties
of the law, and he cared less,
provided he could manage to get
his case to the jury. There he
could play upon a harp of a
thousand strings. AS a conse-
quence he was in demand in all
important criminal cases in the
courts which he attended.
He was never student of
books, but he was a student of
men. His reading was limited,
and his early educational advan-
tages were meager. Had his
mind been trained and disciplin-
ed and polished with higher
education in his youth he could
have grown to the proportions
of what we call a great man.
He had very clear and just
conception of the object and
true limitations of government
and the rights of man. He low
ed his country and he loved lib
erty-and, however he might
trifle on Indifferent matters, he
was uncompromising upon prin-
ciples of government and morals.
Neither fiattery nor the allure.
ments of office, nor the hope of
gain or honor could cause him to
swerve to the right or left when
these were involved. He had
the courage of his convictions
physical courage and moral cour
age. Tolerant of the views of
others, he was fearless in the
advocacy of his own, and he
never consulted the weather
gage of public opinion in order
to decide as to his own course.
He lived and died poor in this
worlds good.
His remains rest in the GENE.
terry al Columbia, and strange t
say, nothing but a stone marks
his grave.
Is it not a reflection on tn
generosity and manhood of Ken
tuckians when this is said?"
To be continued next week.

battle, when he made his first
race for Congress, yet he enter
ed it with all the vigor of a
young man-making it hard for
his adversaries and interesting
to his friends.
/ remember on one occasion
he spoke at a point in Hart coun-
ty, some fifty miles from Co.
lumbia, on Saturday evening in
q joint debate which occupied
him until late in the afternoon.
He hid an appointment for Lib
erty the Monday following.
Sunday morning found him at
home and at church, at morning
service, having travelled in the
meantime half hundred miles
on horseback and most of the
way during the night. Yet,
with all this he was fresh enough
to attend church. The night
found him twenty miles on his
road to Liberty.
He told me he had learned to
sleep in the saddle while in the
army and he was not particular
ly fatigued by the long nights
fide.
His speech the next day at
his old home town was worthy
of his reputation. He was sur
rounded by his old soldiers and
friends, and despite his long
rides, he seemed at his best. In
the course of the discussion his
competitor, in a haunting way,
referred to his wounds. and in
timated that he was attempting
to make political capital from
them. 1t was the first and only
time ever saw the old man eX-
hibit any heat of temper in a
speech. He repealed and resent
ed the insinuation that he had
ever in any way referred to his
wounds, or sought thereby to
influence any one to vote for
him-and, he did it with such
vigorous language that | was
satisfied the insinuation would
not be repeated.
His speech from beginning to
finish was a spell-binder, which
carried the crowd with him
cheer after cheer filled the OLD
court house-hats went to the
ceiling, and it seemed at times
as if the imprisoned shouts
would tear the shingles from tht
roof.
Wolford was kind-hearted ant
charitable. He harbored no per
sonal resentments. When tn,
war closed, the Southern sol
der found in him a true friend
Here in Kentucky as a membe

MORE LIBERTY BONDS
Ten Billion Dollars to Be Issued
Before July ! Is Prospect.
Secretary McAdoo Outlines Financial
Outlook Before Senate Com.
m;ttee.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Secretary OF
the Treasury w. G. McAdoo said ten
billion dollars more in Liberty bonds
before July 1 was the plan of the
government when he made the conf
dent prediction that the operation of
the railroads under government con-
troll would eventually relieve the
transportation situation in this coun-
try.
Mr.. McAdoo appeared as director
general of the railroads at hearing
before the senate interstate commerce
committee which has before it the
administration railroad bill.
Was Executive Session.
: In executive session following the
open hearing, Secretary McAdoo
strongly urged upon the committee
the need of fastening the passage Of
the railroad bill, which guarantees an
income to the railroads and their
maintenance during government op-
Grafton.
He said it was absolutely neces-
sary that the financial situation
should be entirely relieved and the
holders of railroad securities given
assurance their interests would be
guarded. This was all the more nee
essary, Mr.. McAdoo said, since the
government was planning to put out
some $10.O0O,OO0.O more Of Liberty
bonds before July /.
The secretary was asked by men,
5ers of the committee when the next
bonds would be issued, but he said he
could not make this public at this
lime.

COLD STILL GRIPS COUNTRY
Low Temperatures Add to Winters
Record for Severity.

Washington, Jan. 81. - Over the
greater part Of the country east Of
the Rocky mountains temperatures
far below seasonal average continue
to add to the winters record as tie
scverest in recent vars.
Slight increases in temperature are
forecast generally, but the weather
bureau said restoration of normal
conditions was not yet in sight.
The Upper Mississippi and Lake
regions, with New York and Now
England, reported intense cold, the
mercury at many points falling con-
siderably below zero. The cold area
extended into the South, where freez-
ing weather generally was accompa-
MED by rain or snow.
Brief cold spells of greater sever
lty have been reported for previous
years, but according to weather bu-
reau records, duration of the present
cold wave exceeds all records.

civilian war cabinet OF three to sit
constantly and decide all broad, gen.
eral questions of war policy and
program.
If passed in its present form, the
bill will transfer to the war cabinet
much of the authority now exercised
by the president. The committee de.
clares there is needed a body of men,

certainty as to how the war cabinet
will be received. There is no doubt

posed by the administration.

known that he will have something
to say on the subject. One of the
strongest supporters
in congress-, Senator Chamberlain,
