GAS AND ELECTRIC co. SUED
FOR DAMAGES.

Suit for $4,000 damages for the
death of his son, John Webb, has
been filed in the Office of Circuit
Clerk VIM. H. Webb, by James
Webb, administrator, through his at
torneys, Talbot & Whitley, of Paris.
The case will probably be heard at
the November term of the Bourbon
Circuit Court.
In the petition filed by the attor-
neys in the case it is alleged that in
September Is, 1919, young Webb,
while in the employ Of the Cumber-
land Telephone Co., az Q lnemal,
was, with the knowledge and con-
sent Of the Paris Gas & Electric Co..
allowed to climb pole belonging to
the Electric Co. to adjust some high
voltage wires, which were rubbing
against the telephone company's
wires. While so engaged, 1t is allegs
ed he came in contact with part
Of the high voltage wires which
were not properly insulated, and re-
ceived current of electricity through
his body which caused death. The
plaintiff claims it was through
the gross negligence and carelessness
of the Electric Co. and it's agents and
employees that his son was killed.
Webb is survived by his widow and
one child.

VOLUME XXXVIlI
THE STATE ELECTION

To-day, Tuesday, November 4, the
voters of Kentucky will determine
at the polls whether the Democratic
party shall be continued in power or
the State government turned over to
the control of the Republicans. 1t
Is a momentouS decision, which no
man should make without careful
consideration of the issues involved,
the qualifications of the opposing
candidates, and the influences be-
hind them.
Ordinarily, national issues may be
disregarded in the selection of State
officers, and should be if the local
issues are of paramount Importance,
but such is not the case in this cleo
ton. The Republican platform
promises no reforms which the Dem
ocrats have not already undertaken,
or are pledged to enact. The sole
question presented, therefore, is
which of the two parties can be safely
trusted to redeem its promises
Democrats or the Republicans
To determine this question, reflect
for a moment on the constituent ele-
ments Of the two parties. The DEM
ocratic party admittedly contains the
large majority of the intelligent cit
liens of the State, who own the bulk
of the property, and consequently
pay the preponderant proportion of
the taxes. 1t is equally true that
there are many good men and true
and substantial taxpayers in the
ranks of the Republican party, but
they are in a hopeless minority, and
their party's chances of success at
the polls would be negligible if the
negroes and the illiterate mountain
whites were eliminated from the
equation.
Considered from either point of
view. State or National, the argu-
ment for the election of the Demo-
cratic State ticket is unanswerable.
and unless we badly miss our guess
the voters will so decide it to-day.
Go to the polls early this morning
and by your vote help to keep the
reins of the State government in the
hands of Gov. James d. Black and
his able assistants.

NOTED HYPNOfIST TO APPEAR
HERE WEDNESDAY

Galvani, the noted hypnotist, who
is probably known to as many, if not
more theatre goers than any per-
former now before the public, has
been engaged to fill an engagement
in the Grand Opera House for three
nights, commencing Wednesday
evening, November 5.
On Tuesday night he will place a
man in dream land in the display
window at E. M. Wheeler's store to

was at that time Governor of West
Virginia.
Galvani has been before the pub
lie for 23 years, and is considered a
wonder. He has directed that ladies
be admitted absolutely free Wednes-
day evening.

A FINAL APPEAL TO BOURBON
DEMOCRATS

Although this issue of THE NEWS
appears on the day Of the State cleo
ton, we want to make final ap-
peal to all Democrats of the county,
as well as all Independents and pa
triotic Republicans to let nothing
prevent them from going to the polls
and casting their vote for the entire
Democratic ticket.
We urge this, not alone because
we are a Democrat, but because we
honestly believe there is more to
hope for from the Democratic ticket,
in the way of efficient State govern
ment. than from the Republican
ticket. In the first place, the peo-
pie chose the Democratic ticket,
while few Republican leaders
choose their ticket. Gov. Black heads
one ticket, Mr.. Morrow the other.
We have nothing unkind to say
about Mr.. Morrow. We know him
as pleasant gentleman and fin
ished speaker of unusual force, but
no one will seriously contend that
he is the equal of Gov. Black in
business or executive capacity. He
has had no experience in either,
while Gov. Black has been a success
in both. Then, too, the State Senate
will undoubtedly be Democratic, in
fact, there are enough hold-Over
Democratic members and nominees
without opposition to insure this,
and how could the people expect
real service with Republican Gov
ernor, and Democratic Senate and
House?
Governor Black is clean, Chris
tian gentleman of high ideals and
purposes, and will make Kentucky a
conscientious, dependable, conserva-
tive and capable Chief Executive.
We therefore hope and confidently
believe he will be returned the win
ner by splendid majority. Stamp
your ballot under the rooster to-
day, that's the way!"

NOVEMBER FLOODS SWEEP
BOURBON COUNTY STREAMS

Following a week of rains, during
which time the precipitation OF
moisture was far above the normal
supply, the streams of Bourbon
county, both large and small, took
an added burden of water on them
selves, with the result that the No
vember rise" totally unexpected
caused considerable damage through
out the county.
Stoner and houston creeks and
their tributaries were greatly
swollen as a result of the continued
rains and people living in the low
lands were forced to remove their
household goods to higher ground.
Especially was this the cause in the
colored suburbs of Ruckerville.
Building material, fencing, logs,
driftwood of all kinds, swept down
the muddy current of Stoner for two
days. The climax was reached
when a live hog, Grated for ship
ment, was rescued from the turbid
waters of Houston creek, little worse
for the experience The water
passed the level of the new dam at
the Paris Milling Co.'s plant on Sat
the reaction Of the cold spell on Sun
day set it on the back track.
A farmer who attempted to cross
the north fork of Brush creek, near
Little Rock, was compelled to aban-
don his machine. The rise of the
waters was so rapid that when he
left the scene only few inches of
the tow was showing. Townsend
creek was so high that the rural
mail carrier serving that section of
the county could not cross and had
to turn back. On Saturday two of
the city mail carriers had to turn
back on account of the high waters
in their territory. Back water from
Houston creek Saturday afternoon
reached Houston avenue and reached
the first floors Of residences. Water
invaded the first floor of the Paris
Milling Co.'s plant, the flour stock
having to be moved to higher quar-
tiers to prevent it's being water soak
ed. Sandy Bottom and other lOwland
parts of the city suffered from the
invasion Of waters. The Bourbon
County Health & Welfare League
through it's Visiting Nurse, Mrs.
Harriet M1naker, promptly lnVeSC-
gated all cases of distress and gave
relief to the unfortunate.
The interurban service between
Paris and outside points was not as
badly interfered with as it might
have been under the circumstances.
the cars running fairly close to
schedule time. The greatest trouble
was experienced near Paris. due to
the water overlooking from Hous.
ton creek, covering the road.
An uncompleted section of the big
dam on the Xalapa Farm of Edward
Simms, near Paris, was washed
away, together with the boxing and
a large amount of other lumber that
had been used in the construction
of the dam.
The rainy spell has been the heav-
lest for many years, causing some
damage. Tobacco all over the coun-
ty has been injured, as well as corn
in the shock. Several of the county
pixies were rendered almost impas-
sable. vf

Y. M. C. A. CAMPAIGN STARTS
WITH $7,O5O.

The initial movement in the $10,-
900 drive for the local Y. M. C. A.,
was carried forward successfully at
the meeting held in the Grand Opera
House, in this city, Sunday after
noon, when the sum of $1,000 was
raised for the fund. The building, as
at previous meetings, was crowded
from wall to wall, and standing room
only was available to late-comers.
Mr.. John T. Collins, who has at
tanned par excellence as a master of
ceremonies, presided at the meeting,
and kept matters going along. The
business meeting was preceded by a
concert by the famous Boys and
Girls Band, of Maysville, an organi-
cation composed of thirty-five young
men and two pretty young misses,
under the direction of Bandmaster
Purdon. The band made an excel
lent impression, their program
stamping them as masters of their
instruments. Every number was
literally applauded, to which the
band responded with encores. Con-
sidering the time the organization
has been in existence, and the tender
age of some of the musicians, the
band is a wonder, and would do
credit to a much more pretentious
place or leadership The work of the
band was supplemented by vocal
solos beautifully rendered by Capt.
Robt. Harbeson, whose superb tenor
voice has often been heard here
Rev. Robert Nooe, pastor of the
Frankfort Christian church, who
had been in the Y. M. C. A. service
overseas, addressed the audience,
giving a stirring and interesting
story of his experiences in the work
in the war zone. Rev. Nooe is an
inspiring and magnetic speaker, and
held the undivided attention of his
audience to the end.
When the call came for subscrip-
ton for the fund. the response was
ready and liberal, pledges coming
in amounts ranging from $500 down
to small sunms of 81 and 81. The
contributions totalled $7,050.50.
The committee made the announce
ment that the work would proceed
until the entire amount had been
secured. Several hundred names
were enrolled on the list of pledges
taken at the meeting Sunday, and
additional names will be added from
day to day.
Solicitors for the campaign fund
were busy among the farmers on the
streets yesterday, and succeeded in
adding the sum of $500 to the above,
bringing the total to $3.50. They
found the farmer ready and willing
to- contribute to the fund, and many
who contributed stated that they
would make it point to see their
neighbors and stir them up.

CHILDREN'S HOME CANVASS
PROGRESSING THIS WEEK

Is a homeless Kentucky boy or
girl worth the price of smoke?
And if it Is, are you willing to
back up your conviction to the. ex-
tent of a dime-the price of cigar?
These questions are asked of every
person in the State by the Kentucky
Children's Home Society, in an en-
deavor to raise 100000 in fifty
day campaign, for the purpose of
building a village of cottages on a
farm, ten miles from Louisville, near
st. Mathews.
As a reminder of what the desti-
tpts children, who had been reared
by the Society, have done to pay
their debt to the State, the children
now in the care of the Society,
proudly point to their service flag
that contains 100 stars, representing
the number of elder boys who
shouldered the gun against the Hun.
Five of the number gave their lives
for the cause; ten won commissions,
and one of the young ladies went to
France as a Red Cross nurse.
The Society does not deal with the
defective children of the State, but
only with those who are normal,
mentally and physical, and shapes
them during the formative period of
life into good and useful citizens.
During more than twenty years of its
history the Kentucky Children's
Home Society received from the va
rious counties of the State on orders
from county judges about 5000
children, several hundred of whom
are now grown men and women in
various avocations of life and an
honor to the State and institution.
