PREACHER BRINGS
SUIT AGAINST LEWIS
COUNTY NEWSPAPER
Evangelist Holding Meeting In Mays
Vile Employs Lawyers and Brings
Suit For SANDER, He Reports.

Rev. Samuel May, of Vanceburg,
who for some time has been conduct
ing revival meeting in a tent in the
Eastern section of the city, this morn
ing announced that he had employed
Attorneys Samuel X. Pugh and r. B.
Wilson, of Vanceburg, and had filed
suit against the owners of the Vance
burg Sun, published at Vanceburg,
asking for $4,000 damages for alleged
SANDER.
Some time ago the vanceburg Sun
published story which was copied In
a number of newspapers to the effect
that a Maysvllle man by the name of
Rankins was In Vanceburg looking for
his wife who he said had left Maysville
with May. The Vanceburg paper in
commenting on Mr.. May gave him a
very bad reputation throughout that
district
Today Rev. May denied any connec-
ton whatever with any Maysville wo-
man married or single and denied the
statements contained in the Vanceburg
article.
May has been in Maysville but a
short time but enjoys very good rep
utation here having thus far been a
man who has attended to his own bust
ness and who seems to have done
much good among certain classes in
the outskirts of the city.
This suit which Rev. May says he
has had filed is the first Islander suit
filed against a newspaper in this sec
ton of the country in many years and
it's progress will be watched with
much interest

WATER WAYS WILL

River Expert Now In Cincinnati Says
Panama Canal Machinery May
Be Brought Here.

Inland waterways are viewed as a
means of reducing cost Of living by
DR.. c. D. Gray, Pittsburgh, vice presi-
dent of the National Inland Waterway
Association, in Cincinnati to confer
with Albert Krell, president Of the
Central Inland Waterways Associa-
ton.
"Prices of raw material and labor
likely will not go down, so the only
way to reduce the cost is to have an
overproduction. Railroads could not
take care Of this; 1t must be done by
the waterways" he said.
Gray complimented Cincinnati on
the interest shown in inland water
ways, but he said many manufactur-
ers here must be awakened to their
value.
1.-THE government has its engineers
out to see what waterways It will be
to the interest of the country to i'm
prove" he said. Very likely machin-
cry will be sent here from the Panama
Canal to be used to deepen the Ohio
River and its tributaries"
DR.. Gray said bill probably will be
introduced in Congress soon providing
500, 100000 for improvement work in
the Ohio Valley.

CANTRILL BACKS
STATE MEMORIAL
To HEROIC DEAD
Seventh District Congressman Says
Kentucky Should Do No Less Than
Nation In Paying Tribute to
Those Who Gave Lives.


The idea of erecting memorial
buildings instead Of monuments of
marble or bronze to the men who lost
their lives in the war is such logical
one that 1t is being adopted not only
by many states, but by the nation"
said Congressman j. Campbell Can
trill, in discussing the proposed State
memorial building at the University Of
Kentucky. Mr.. Cantrill was in Lex
ington en- route to Washington.
There is now in progress at the ma
tional capital a movement to erect a
mommoth convention hall, in which
will be placed on bronze tablets the
names fall Americans who lost their
lives in the service. 1t will be used
by multitudes who will be continually
reminded of the sacrifices made by the
men in whose honor it will be built,
and Of the principles of democracy for
which they died. With each days use
by people seeking to perpetuate the
fruits of victory, 1t will become a more
suitable tribute to the dead and a
greater example to the living. 1t will
be monument more lasting than
brass, and worthy memorial
Kentucky should take the same
steps to honor her $500 sons who died
in the service, and / shall do every
thing in my power to promote the
campaign to obtain 100000 for State
memorial building on the campus of
the University Of Kentucky. 1t is pc
culiarly fitting that the building
should be at the State University rath-
err than at the State Capital, since it
will be continually before the eyes and
in the use of the young men and wo-
men who will reap the benefits of the
peace won by the dead heroes, many
of whom came from their number
understand that the proposed building
will be used to house student activi-
ties, and will have a large auditorium

! for the building. The amount asked
is not large, smaller than that asked

tion. We should not let any of Ken
tucky's sons go unhonored, when their
glorious deeds have lighted the pages

in which they have participated, and
believe there is no better way OF
showing appreciation of their sacri-
