McCREARY AMONG THOSE
WHO "RIDE WITH MORGAN

With close to forty of the gallant
men "who rode with Morgan" in at
tendance the seventeenth annual re.
union of the Morgan's Men Associa-
tion opened Tuesday at Olympia
Springs for three-day gathering of
the survivors Of that remarkable
brigade, at one time the puzzle and
the despair of the Federal command
ers.
Most of those who are on hand are
men who still are performing mans
part in their various communities but
others are feeble beneath the burden
of their years. Some are accom-
panied by their wives and children and
in several instances by their grand
children.
1t is vacation time for Morgan's
men and they enjoy it as boys on a
frolic, freed from the tedium of daily
duties. The veterans present for
the opening session registered with
Assistant Secretary Frank C. Taylor
and adjourned until o'clock in the
afternoon, spending the time in re-
calling the days of the war, and ming
ling with the younger folk, with
whom they are prime favorites.
At 8 o'clock reports of committees
were made.
Those who have passed away since
the reunion a year ago are: Gen
Bennett H. Young, Louisville, Eighth
Kentucky Cavalry; Lev. P. Young,
Lexington, Quirk's Scouts; Geo. w.
Morrow, Austerlitz, Eighth Kentucky
Cavalry; w. M. Layson; Millersburg,

LOCAL CATTLE MEN
OPPOSE KENYON BILL
Many kilograms of Protest Sent
To Washington--Monte F OK
Expects Prices To Be Steady

Many of the most prominent
cattle feeders of Madison county
have sent kilograms to congress,
protesting against the Kenyon
bill which seeks to practically
have the government take over
the packing business. Prominent
stockmen from all over the coun-
try are appearing before the SEN
ate committee which has the
bill under consideration.
Local cattle feeders say that
they are against the packers or
any one else making unreason-
able profits, of course, but until
it is shown that such is the case,
they say it is unthinkable that
the government should endeavor
to handle the packing business,
with the results Of its railroad
experience constantly before it
Monte Fox, of Danville, who
buys the fat cattle of Madison
county, was here last week, and
he told local feeders that he
looked for this governmental
agitation to really have a good
effect upon beef prices. He said
that it will be thoroughly demon
strated at this hearing that the
packers are not making out
.rageous profits, and further it
will be shown what it costs che
farmer to place steer on the
market, something that very few
people understand. With the big
runs out of the way at Chicago
and other big packing centers,
Mr.. Fox says his advices from
men high up in the packing cir
eles are that good cattle will
more than hold their own in price
during the next few months.

WILSON'S PLEA REJECTED

Washington, Aug. 27-Presi-
dent Wilson's appeal for a truce
was rejected by the higher repre-
sentatives of the railway shop
crafts, who have been threatening
to strike if not granted substan-
tial wage increases, and the men
involved, Approximately 100000
in number, have been instructed
to vote Immediately on the ques-
ton whether they will accept the
Presidents proposition (virtually
4 cents an hour increase) as a ba
sis of settlement, or reject it and
strike.
These instructions were mailed
last night from headquarters OF
the American Federation of La
Dor in Washington to more than
5000 local railway unions in this
country and Canada.
Pending the issuance of the Of
fetal strike order, provided the
members should vote to strike,
representatives of the unions at
Washington have appealed to the
men to remain at work. AS the
instructions have gone forward
by mail four days will elapse be
fore many of the unions receive
them. Men in the shop crafts
unions are instructed to consider
carefully the, question, to vote I'M
mediately, and the result of the
vote is to be ytelegraphed to
Washington by each of the local
unions.
