Radical Changes to Result
From Revolution, Is
Prediction

Faith that the future would see
generation of men who would
take pride not in saying II am a Brazil
ian" or Il am Mexican" but in de-
ciaring Il am son of America" was
expressed yesterday by Manuel Carpio
on behalf of the editors of Mexico who
are guests of the United States. Mr..
Carpio, who is editor of LA Voz de la
Revolution" was speaking at lunch
con given to the Mexican editors in the
Bankers Club. The address of welcome
was made by John Bassett Moore, pres
ldent of the Pan-American Society.
"Pan-Americanism," he said, "pre-
supposes the existence Of good under
standing in the preservation of which,
as we are daily reminded, the exercise
of tact and sound judgment is always
helpful, but, above all and before all,
1t presuppcses the existence of spirit
OF real friendliness, which seeks to pre-
serve, to stimulate and TO strengthen
good will by mutual kindness and recip-

more than that the Pan-American So
ciety of the United States shall be re-
earded as a standing manifestation Of
that purpose"
Mr.. Carpio in his response said that
Mexico was nation of sincere people
and that out of the revolution would
come men who would be understood by
others. Radical changes would take
place in Mexico, he said; capital and
labor would be put in their respective
places and the nation would emergs
organized.
"The press Will help and also hinder
he continued "for there are two kinds
OF newspapers, one standing for liberty
and one for world oppression. But I
do not doubt that the first will tri-
umph."

SANTIAGO, Chile, June 13.-The
frank declarations of President Will
son son in hi; his address atI to the Mexican ed
of peace, says the "Mercurio" in an
editorial expressing approval of the
Presidents words.
"His words will result, Also" the
newspaper says, Gin added prestige to
all the nations on the American con-
tinent"
1t adds that the absolute truth Of
President Wilson's statement is proved
by the fact that he proposes to devote
millions of American lives to serve
the principles he enunciated. The
Presidents statement, which offers Sc
curity to all nations and declares
against changes in present frontiers,
is applauded without reserve.

nine counties in the state, viz:

Woodford, and Mason. Adair was
then part of Lincoln.
In the year 1892. Green Coun-
ty was formed from a part of
Lincoln, and In the year 1901,
Adair was formed from part of
Green.
At the time of the adoption OF
the second Constitution for the
State viz: The 18th, of August
1899, there were twenty. five
counties, Bourbon, Bracken,

Nelson, Shelby, Scott, WOodfOrd,

Col. VIM. Casey, who at that
time resided near the town of
Columbia, was the member of
that Convention from Green,
Adair not then being a county.
We will refer to him more parti-
cularly further on.
The first county court for the
new county of Adair was held on
the Oath, day of May, 1902, at
the house of James Walker, Esq.
and the court was composed OF
Nathan Montgomery, James Gil
mer, Robert Todd, Daniel Ira

William Burbridge, and Robert
Thomas, Justices.

they had in former times, of
dealing with the violaters of law
in minor offenses.
The stock and its companion
piece, the whipping post have
disappeared, and in their stead
we have substituted the ball and

At the September term, the
tavern rates for the county were
fixed. 1t may be a matter or IN

know what were the rates for
such service, and the character
of the entertainment.

the belief, which grows with the

it will be much better a century

court a committee to lay off the
ground on which the public
buildings were to be erected. At
the same time we find the follow
ing order entered:
Ordered that Robert Tilford,
Benjamin Bowman, William Nc
Nicely, and Nicholas Taylor,
Gent. be commissioners to con.
tract with James Walker, Sr. for
his donation Of 20 acres of land
to the public on fixing the public
square at Columbia, as also with
the proprietors of Columbia for
the purpose of securing the 500,
the spring, and the public Square
by them given to the public.
The land embracing the ground
on which Columbia was located
had been bought of Hughes by
the said Trabue. Haskins and
Caldwell.
At that day, in the location of
towns as we'll as the selection Of
the site for a dwelling house, the
spring and it's accessibility was
a very important consideration
and it is observed that the court
in this instant was careful to
have it embraced in the contract

AS we understand, this old
spring, which the founders of
the town were so particular to
secure, has been enclosed as
private property for many years
in one of the lots of the town,
and very few of the citizens of
the place know of its location.
The we'll digger, with mis- hand
power, his horse power, and his
gasoline engine has rendered it
quite unimportant where the old
spring is, or whether the water
is running from it or not.
Samuel Brents and John EN-
