JEFFERIS SPEAKS
AT BANQUET BY
BOOSTER CLUB
congresSman-eIeCt From Sec
ond District Declares Great
est Need Is Sterilization of
Forces Behind Industry.

Greed and hate should not be
Moderated in this country, nor allow
ed TO have an overpowering CONTROL"
declared Congressman-elect A. w.
Jefferis, addressing the Jefferis
Booster club at the Hotel Rome last
night
Greed and hate have caused mans
inhumanity to man, and have prompt
ed one nation of people to attempt
to subiagate other peoples, until
Europe became a world of armed
camps fed on hate. That sort of
doctrine should not be permitted
to grow in this country"
He bespoke a spirit of tolerance
one toward the other, to the end that
each may grow and give full express
sion to that which nature has en-
dowed him.
Observe Golden Rule.
"In a country such as we possess"
he continued, I'VE must remember
the great thought as enunciated by
our Master, who told US to do unto
others as we would have them do
unto us.
I'VE must have faith to believe
that the United States will continue
for centuries to come TO be the great
Statute of Liberty, shedding its rays
to peoples beyond our shores, that
they may catch the spirit of brother
ly love which gives unto each. the
right to pursue life, liberty and hap
piness. / believe that Europe will
catch this great spirit"
Mr.. Jefferis said he was mindful
Of certain disturbing signs in this
country, but he had full faith to
believe that this nation can and will
show to the world that men can
govern themselves if given an OPP
portunity. He urged the discourage
ment of any attempt to array faction
against faction or class against
class.
Need of Sterilization.
a".America," he added, must stab
ilize the forces of labor, capital, in
dustry and energy, that we may
stand united as one great people,
not only for our own sake, but for
sake OF the world. We as individ-
ual citizens may do our part by
keeping in mind the thought that
orr forefathers believed that men
have the courage to rule themselves
and can rule themselves.
"The history Of representative
government does not mean that the
majority should crush the minority,
but that legislation should be fair
and for all Of the people. A chosen
representative of the people should
exercise his reason and judgment to
the end that each may live and let
the other fellow live; to promote
happiness in domestic, commercial
and social life" -."

The sugar situation in Maysville and
Mason county remains acute and yet
the local wholesalers are doing all

and almost car load was received
Saturday morning by the NJ. c. Russell
Company but this supply will soon be
gone. Both local wholesalers have
exerted much energy in an effort to
get supply sufficient for the great
demand and they have appealed to
their brokers to ship them as much
sugar as possible. Col j. Barbour
Russell has just returned from Chi
cago to which city he made a flying
trip to talk the situation over with his
broker.
Learning that the government was
about-to release large supply held

C. & 0. COMMUTER
DERAILED and MANY
ARE BADLY INJURED
Twenty-Five Men Injured When Train
Leaves Track Near Dayton-In
Charge OF Con King.

Twenty-Five men we're injured and
scores of others had narrow escapes
when the engine on a Chesapeake G.
Ohio R. r. commuter train was de-
rallied mile above Dayton, KY, pre-
sumably by spreading rails, at 640
a. m. Saturday.
There we're five coaches attached
to the engine, which we're filled with
300 workmen bound for the Silver
Grove Ky) yards of the c. & o.
The five coaches were made Of wood.
The engine was just rounding a
slight curve when it suddenly Topped
over on its side and buried itself in a
hillside.
The front coach rammed into the
engine, which was reversed, ripping
out the right side of the wooden coach
and also sending it upon its side.
How the men in this car escaped
death was a miracle to the hundreds
| who rushed to view the wreck. The
accident was in full view of hundreds
of persons on the Cincinnati side of
the Ohio River, who were going to
work
AN ambulance was rushed to the
wreck from Speers Hospital at Day.
ton, and Russell Bellew, fireman, and
James Robertson, engineer, who was
scalded, were taken away.
A relief train, sent from Covington,
carried the other injured to Speers
Hospital
The second and third coaches of the
train also were derailed, but did not
turn over on their sides.
A wrecking train and crew were
sent from the Silver Grove yards, and
work of carrying away the wreckage
was under way within an hour after
the accident.
Cornelius King, for many years in
charge of the Maysville accommoda
tion who was conductor, in charge OF
the train was in the third coach back
of the engine. He was dazed but not
badly injured.
| 1t was noted after the accident that
windows of one of the coaches were
barred by wooden Stats nailed across
the inside of the window. The Stats
would have prevented anybody jump
ing from that car, had 1t been neces-
sary, observers asserted.
King explained the Stats were or
dered nailed on the windows to pre-
vent breaking of glass by workmen.

FROM TAKING CHILD
PENDING DIVORCE
Asking for Divorce, Mrs. May KELLEY
Says Her Husband Mistreated Her
and Her Child and Threatened
to Take Child From Her
Injunction Granted.

Mrs. May Kelley filed suit IN the
Mason Circuit Court Saturday after
noon against her husband, John Kel-
ley, in which she asks for divorce
from the bonds of matrimony and the
custody of her six year old daughter,
Mary Rose Kelley.
The petitioner states that she and
the defendant we're married in 1910
and that they lived together as man
and wife until the first of June, 1919,
when she was forced to leave him and
take up her residence with her mother
because of the cruel and inhuman
treatment Of her husband She also
states that the husband had failed to
support her and their little daughter
and she was compelled to work in
local laundry for the support of her
self and child She says that because
of his conduct and cruel beating of
her and the child, the little girl had
become cowed in spirit and nervously
affected, being afraid to go out of the
house.
The wife says that the defendant
threatens and is about to infiict upon
her and child further mistreatment
and injury and as she is compelled to
work and leave the child with her
! mother she is afraid that the husband
will carry out his threats to go to
her mothers home and take the child
from her unless he is restrained from
doing so. Her prayer is for divorce
and for restraining orders against the
husband taking the child from her.
Judge Newell was in the city Satur-
day and Immediately signed temporary
restraining orders against the husband
bothering either the wife or the child
pending the divorce proceedings.

COLORED FARMER LOSES
HAND DEH0RNING A COW
Rope Used to Hold Animal As Her
Horns Were Removed, Caught
round Right Wrist and Tore
Hand Practically on.

William Davis, well known indus
trious colored farmer, who lives on the
Taylor Mill pike, just outside the city
limits, met with a. very painful and
serious accident Friday evening late
when endeavoring TO dehorn a young
COW on his farm.
The animal was roped and Davis
was holding her as the clamps with
which her horns were to be removed,
were placed on her head. The rope in
some manner became wrapped about
the colored mans right wrist and the
animal made such lunge and pull as
to jerk the right hand almost entirely
off. Davis will lose the right hand
entirely as q result of the bad acci-
dent.
Davis is one of the county's most
industrious colored farmers. He is
held in high esteem by all who know
him both white and black and this
accident which will seriously handi-
cap him for all of his life is greatly
regretted. He has the sympathies OF
the entire community.

OUT BY A Big FIRE
Eight Business Houses Burned In Fire
Which Swept village of HillsbOro
In Fleming County Friday Af-

wiped out the business section of the
village of Hillsboro in Fleming county
Friday afternoon burning eight build

candles to close out the light. These
curtains caught from the oil lamp, evil

and spread to the building. All of the
buildings burned are located on one
side of the main street and adjoin
each other. The fire spread from one
building to the other rapidly despite
heroic efforts of volunteer fire COM
pany and bucket grigade which was
hastily organized.
The F'lemingsburg Fire Department
was also called upon for assistance
and the automobile fire fighting ma
chine only recently installed there
rushed to the assistance of their
neighbors and did wonderful work. In
speaking to the Ledger over the tele-

the Flemingsburg firemen and Their
splendid equipment.
The big fire was first discovered
about 2 o'clock Friday afternoon and
it was. near six o'clock before the
flames had been extinguished. About
4:3O o'clock 1t was under control but
the smouldering frame buildings gave
the fremen considerable trouble ever
