NAY MAKE RACE
FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL

Knox County will probably furnish
a candidate for the Republican nom
nation for attorney general, accord
ing TO information received here that
Sawyer Smith, well-known young Re-
publican of Barbourville, is being
strongly urged to make the race. Mr.
Smith is widely known throughout
the eastern part Of the state, where
he has always taken an active part
in business and political affairs. He
was member of the Legislature in
1907 during the administration OF
Governor Wilson, and at one time
was assistant district attorney for the
Eastern district under Edward p.
Morrow. There is added interest to
the announcement of the probable
candidacy of Mr.. Smith from the fact
that Barbourville is the home also of
Lieut.. Gov. James d. Black.
The above statement is taken from
the Louisville Herald, the leading
Republican newspaper Of the state,
and Il looks as II Mr.. Sawyer A.
Smith will be named as the candidate
for Attorney General of Kentucky.
II Mr.. Smith is nominated for this
important place on the Republican
ticket It will add much strength to
the ticket as Mr.. Smith is an able,
energetic young lawyer of Barbour
Vile and one who has the ability to
put up strong fight for the party.
He is an able speaker and a good
scrapper in a political battle.
Mr.. Smith has made a success as a
lawyer. The Republicans can rest
assured that If he is nominated he
will put life into the campaign and
can be counted upOp to do his share
toward a Republican success at the
November election.
Mr.. Smith was member OF the
Legislature in 1907 and while he
was serving his district as represent
alive he was very active and showed
his ability tho he was young man
at that time. He was afterwards ap-
pointed assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney for the Eastern Dis
trict OF Kentucky for four years. As
Attorney General OF Kentucky he
would serve the people to their salts
faction and with credit to himself.

CIVIC LEAGUE PAYS FOR FLIES

Until Saturday, the 10th, the Civic
League will pay 1Oc for each 100
flies. They already have quite a
number. The idea is to create inter-
est in the fly campaign.
The Civic League ladies will also
visit the stores, homes which own
barns, hog pens, etc. and plead with
the owners to use fly traps and disin-
feet the manure. Two pounds of
iron sulphate dissolved in a gallon
of water, poured upon fifteen pounds
of horse manure killed 941 out of
every 1000 larva, by actual test.
This treatment costs from one to two
cents per day.
Air Stacked lime is also excellent.
The best method is to keep the ma
nure cleaned up and spread. Also
screen garbage cans and out of doors
toilets.
Childrens lives are at stake, as
well as adults. Help save them.

BIRDS
Judge II. 5. Rose Makes an Appeal

Judge r. S. Rose, our Circuit
Judge, meets with much that is sad.
dening and deprea. '"g as he makes
his rounds from Court to Court. He
has to judge human beings, guilty OF
every conceivable crime against God
and humanity. Perhaps on this &C
count he loves birds the more. They
are the winged angels of earth, cloth
cd wonderfully by the Divine hand,
their little throats the medium OF
earth's sweetest music, they trill out
a full measure of praise and joyous"
ness. They love and are loved as is
proven by the quick answer to the
bird call. They trust and will make
friends with human beings when they
may. Then we kill them for their
trustfulness and because it is a pleas
ure to prove our skill with a shot
gun or rifle.

insensate pride and that We may
prove how sure is the eye which the
Creator gave us, we lift gun, there
is a crack, and a little bird, which
was perhaps calling to its mate, o.
a mother bird stealing a few mo
ments from her nest, is struck to the
earth, a broken little heap of blood
and feathers. A glorious achieve
ment, my brothers, which entities us
to rank with other destroyers of in

wing or limb, it will linger for days
unheeded by any, save by Him who
numbers the hairs of our heads and
who knows when even sparrow
