BOOTLEGGING THEORY
Held By Nashville Police Inves-
tigating Cooper Murder.
(By Associated Press

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 2-The
police announce that J. E. Feus-
ton, arrested in connection with
the murder of Robin Cooper here
last week, has been released. In
vestigation showed he was on
train en- route from Louisville,
Ky, the night Cooper was killed,
Casey Jordan, woman was
also arrested and is being queS-
toned in regard to the murder.
The arrests indicated that the
police have abandoned abruptly
the theory on which they said
they had built up a case-that
blackmailers had killed the young
lawyer-and had returned to
their original belief that bootleg
gers had lured Cooper from his
home and put him to death,
According to police, Feuston is
"a dealer in liquor of high grade,
and is thought to have made deal
ings with members of exclusive
clubs. When arrested Feuston
and the woman were in an auto
mobile containing, the police say,
$50 quarts of whisky.
Evidence that another automo-
bile was involved in the tragedy
was given the police by negro
farmer.
He said he was driving his team
home Thursday night about 10
o'clock, the hour fixed as the time
of the murder, when he saw some
one slowly back an automobile off
the road into the place where
Cooper's automobile was found,
23 hours later
Then a man leaped out Of the
machine, the negro said, walked
to another automobile parked
near by, turned on the lights and
sped away. The first automobile
was left with lights burning, the.
negro said.

HAVE
INTERESTING MEETING

The second Teachers meeting
since the organization of the teachers
of Madison county was held in the
county court room at 10 a. m. Satur-
day, with 40 present. Devotional ex-
ercises were conducted by Prof. B. F.
Dizney, followed by songs which were
taught during the Institute by DR..
S. S. Myers.
The question Of local diseases was
the subject of discussion as to pre-
ventive of epidemics, sustaining the
teachers in using their judgement to
decide and keep diseases out of the
schools and out of the community.
The topic was discussed by Miss
Adelia Fox, Prof. Dizney, Miss Marie
Quillen and Mrs. Ida Tribble.
Supervisor j. B. Harris said that
he had visited 80 schools and found
the teachers doing unusually good
work.
llliterates in the county were re-
corded by districts as far as known.
Unusually small number was found as
to white illiterates. Means were dis
cussed by which this small number
can be eradicated. Supt. Edwards
talked upon the future work of the
teachers in the county and in regard
to an appeal to the general assembly
regarding legislation.

on Sept. 9th, male quartet COM
posed of Paris B. Aiken, Eugene Spur
lock, Charles Edwards and David

TO VOTE AGAIN ON
SPECIAL ROAD TAX
Madison Can Share In $4,000, 900
Federal Aid To Kentucky If
Voters Favor the Plan

Madison county voters will be
given another opportunity to vote
on the question of 20-cent tax
to improve the roads of the coun-.
ty and obtain a large sum from
the federal and state aid funds in
so doing.
At the regular meeting of the
Fiscal Court Tuesday morning,
an election was called to be held
on the regular election day, No
vember 4th, to test out the tax
question again. Many of those
who are in favor of the county
voting the tax believe that it will
carry at this time, for the need of
good roads was never so appar-
ent, nor was there ever such a
splendid opportunity to obtain CO.
operation of the state and gov
ernment in paying the cost of
road work.
Mr.. Dawson, representative
of the State Road Department,
who spoke before the Fiscal
Court, said that Kentucky's s
share of the government road
funds this year will amount to
close to $5,OOO,O00, and that no
county should overlook such a
splendid opportunity to receive a
part of this big fund, to assist III
its work.
The magistrates, who are kept
fully in touch with road condi-
tions over the county, will earn
! estly urge the voting Of this ex-
ira tax at the next election. The
court voted to submit the ques-
ton to an election again, by a ma
iority of 7 o 1, Squire Long being
the only magistrate who opposed
lit.
Tarvia on the roads received
considerable attention from the
magistrates. Many farmers are
reporting that the road becomes
so hard and slick where tarvia has
been applied as to endanger the
lives of horses which fall on it
Several near accidents were re-
ported. The opinion was ex-
pressed that on level road, tar
via is without an equal as a road
covering but on hilly stretches, it
is proving hard on those who
have to drive or ride, and do not
own automobiles. Only two miles
of the pike each way out of Rich
mond have had tarvia applied SC
far, and no plans have yet been
yet been made for further appli-
cation of the tarvia at this time

MALICIOUS RUMORS
BRANDED UNTRUE
Wild Reports Circulated That
Local Business Men Were
Caught Pro6teering


in Richmond for the past two
weeks or SO that government Sc
cret service agents have been in
vestigating alleged cases of pro-
iiteering among the business men
of this city. First reports had it
that butchers and grocers were
the objects of investigations. But
rs rumors always do, they grew
as they spread, and the latest had
it that clothing merchants and
other lines were also investigat-
ed
SO far as the Daily Register
has been able to learn, there is
not one scintilla of foundation for
these reports. If government
secret service agents have been
here, they have kept mighty quiet
about it. U. S. Commissioner
War6eld Bennett and u. S. Clerk
L, A. Burnam, before whom any
for whom warrants might be. is
sued, would be taken for exam
ining trial, say that they know
nothing of the matter whatever
that no one has been brought be-
fore them, and no warrants have
been issued. One rumor had il
that one business man had been
held under $1,000 bond to await
action of the federal grand jury
for giving short weight in goods
he was selling. n.
Just how these reports and s@lse
rumors got started has notfyet
been learned. One prominent
business man says that he will
give $l00 reward for the name OF
the person who first started the
report about him. 1t was alleged
in his instance that he sold some
edibles to the government agent
as weighing six pounds, when the
latter pulled a pair of scales and
found it weighing only four. This
gentleman says that no govern
ment agent has been in his store
so far as he knows and he would
welcome them to come in at any
| time and test the weights, sand
quantities that he is giving his
customers for their money.
Another local business man, &C
cording to false rumors, was said
to have sold one of the govern
ment sleuths a suit of clothes for
500. The sleuth, according to the
story, then exhibited his badge
and demanded that the merchant
show his invoice from the manu-
facturer of the clothes. This was
said to have shown that he paid
SIS for the goods. This report
is also branded as lie out of the
whole cloth. as are the other re-
ports which have been spread
broadcast, about many of Rich
mond's most reputable business
men.
Such rumors are almost impos-
sible to trace down to their origin
and are calculated to do a great
deal of damage to the innocent
victims. They have been spread
broadcast but nothing whatever
has been developed to show that
there is the slightest foundation
for them in any way.

zens of Parksville, S. c.
Whereas very unfortunate and
very uncalled for occurrence happen
cd some twelve miles out from ou1
town and community several days
ago; viz, the killing of one negro and
wounding several others, as result
of some little trouble between some
white men and negroes and whereas,
the impression has gone out that this
thing happened at Parksville (Which
is a mistake), and whereas, we,, the
undersigned citizens of Parksvllle
and community do not approve of
such proceedings as took place in the
above referred to occurrence, and
whereas we believe from what we
have been able to find out, that the
whole thing came about as the result
of MOONSHINE STILLS being run
and the liquor sold in our midst,
therefore, be it resolved by the un-
dersigned citizens of Parksville and
community, in mass meeting assem-
bled:
1st. That we do hereby condemn
lawlessness in any and every form,
and declare ourselves boldly for law,
order and decency and absolutely a
gainst the MOONSHINE DISTILLER
and all who are anywise connected
with his damnable business; and we
do hereby bind ourselves as law abid-
ing citizens of this community to put
forth every possible effort to unearth
every individual who is in any way
connected with this mid-night-char-
acter-damning, soul-destroying, hell
filling liquor business, and to spend
our time and money to convict and
bring to justice, every man who is
low enough, and mean enough to be
engaged in it in any manner whatso-
ever, or else we will drive him from
our borders and we will make our
community, by the help of God, fit
community in which to rear our boys
and girls, and attractive to others
who may desire to come in and live
with us, we adopt this method of let
TING the world know where we stand
on such matters as this: we are abso-
lutely against lawlessness and MOON
SHINE LIQUOR, and all those who
will persist in being connected there
with in any manner whatsoever.
End. That copy Of these resolu-
tons be sent to the papers for publ
