The whisky bootlegeing traffic in
Lexington finally came to an awful
climax last Saturday evening in the
cold.blooded killing of Sheriff Will
liam H. Mcbride, while in the exc
cution of his official duty.
Sheriff Mcbride has been active
in the hunting Of those vilest Of all
human vermin-whisky bootleg
gers, and his DEATH which has to
some extent been avenged by the
people who knew and respected
him, has at least brought the hope
that the vile traffic has come to its
end in Lexington and Henderson
county and out of the depths of re-
gret over the loss Of an official who
was willing to do his part to sup
press lawlessness in his county,
should come the determination that
not another person even suspected
of engaging in the infamous boot
Logging business shall reside in this
county and help drag down to low
er depths Of infamy those who are
foolish and criminal enough to be
patrons of the constituencies scoun-
drels who have already blotted the
fair name of this town and county
and brought the law into disrepute,
As to the circumstances connect
ed Immediately with the killing of
Sheriff Mcbride, we can do no bet
ter than to publish the statement
dictated to US by Town Marshal j.
w. Knowles, who accompanied the
county's highest officer on the trip
which cost him his life. The state
ment Of Marshal Knowles, dictated
in our Office and reduced to type
writing by US, is as follows
STATEMENT BY TOWN MARSHAL KNOWLES

Berry Noyes, came from Paducah
to Timberlake, five miles North Of

planned to 90 to the house of the

being able to prevail on the crowd
to let the law take its course for
the law could not do justice to the
murderer Of an officer who lost his
life in the pursuit of his duty.
Judge N. R. Barham was at home
and did all in his power to prevent
the lynching of the neero-as was
his duty-and in his action he was
and is given the respect of all.
Coroner E. c. Hooks, acting Sheriff,
could do no more than to ask that
the law be allowed to take its
course, which he did
There were no masks and what
was done was done in GOODNESS, de-
liberation and determination.
The Progress is opposed to mob
law, knowing it to be dangerous,
but all we could say would affect
nothing when the people arise as
they did in this case and demand
for the life of Sheriff Mcbride that
just retribution which the law
is powerless to giye--the life of his
murderer.
Sheriff Mcbride was a fearless
officer and an honest man who
sincerely desired that the laws Of
the country be observed and he was
just getting in a fair way to accom-
plish the determination by legal
means, of the vile traffic which de-
grades any community in which it
is carried on. in the honorable dis
charge Of his official duty his life
has been sacrificed and all who
have in any way countenanced in
this town and county the illicit
whisky traffic may take to them
selves the haunting knowledge that
they as patrons of bootlegeers were
partly instrumental in the deplora-
BILE calamity which has befallen the
county. widowed good woman and

were carried to the community in

funeral occurred at the Mcbride
graveyard, one mile from Sardis, in
the presence of a large crowd Of
people who knew and respected
him.

BEGINNING Sec
0ND MONTH OF
GRE EAT BATTLE

On last Sunday at dawn there
commenced on the Western battle
front in France and Belgium, the
second month of the greatest battle
ever fought since the world and
wars began. On the 21st of March,
Hindenburg, the German comnan.
der started the great offensive after
making the boast that he would be
in Paris April 1st-a distance OF
about one hundred and twenty
miles. Hindenburg succeeded in
covering thirty.ive miles in the
Picardy drive, when his way was
blocked, which left him eighty-fve
miles short of his Of his original OBJ
jective. When blocked on their
drive for Paris, the Germans turned
toward the English Channel ports
on the 9th of April, making on this
thrust distance of about twelve
miles, and twenty-five miles from
Dunkirk, the nearest port The
Nashville Banners last Sunday ac-
count of the great German offen-
sive and the beginning Of the Sec
month of the most stupenduous
military encounter the world has
ever known, stated the already
known facts that the objects of the
Germans were to first drive a wedge
between the British and French
armies, next to roll the British army
back upon the North Sea and at
their leisure anninilate it, after
which the French would be gobbled
up-and then on to Paris. The
wedge was driven between the ar
mics Of the. British and French. but
unfortunately for the Huns. the line
came back together in few days,
and by that means the arrival in
Paris by the first day of the month
of showers turned out to be verit-
able April Fool The accomplish
ment Of the Allies in stopping an
offensive which employed more SOL
diers than was ever before used in
any military attempt, resulted in
the butchery of untold thous-
ands of the Huns a reduction of
the man power Of Germany which
will contribute largely to the final
downfall Of the Kaiser. Into the
battles of the Somme and Lys, the
Germans have showed some 1870 d.
visions or approximately 100000
men. But in spite Of all, it was
then expected that the Germans
would, in their desperation, start a
new drive at any time-which
could not catch mapping either Sir
Douglas Hais, the British comman-
der, the new Generalissimo Of the
Allied armies. For days after, Will
the great attempt was underway to
break the Allied line, all the world
not in sympathy with Germany
held its breath and waited in sus-
