JURY PROMPTLY AcQUiTs
WALTER ScHoFiELD

A Jury in the court of Justice of
the Peace John E. Rees promptly re-
turned a verdict of acquittal OF Wal
terri Schofield who had been charged
with diverting the waters Of Geertson
creek. The trial took place last Mon
day. The county attorney T.. Fl. Cas-
terln, prosecuted the charge, with
Newton Hibbs as the witness to sus-
tain it. Mr.. Hibbs exhibited author
ization from the state department OF
reclamation for taking action to dis
tribute the disputed water and stat.
ed that Mr.. Schofield had admitted
tearing away ditch that Hibbs had
nut in when he visited the scene with
Peter Mckinney. When this witness
had concluded his testimony Judge
Padgham, attorney for Schoheld,
moved to dismiss the charge on the
ground that an admission by defen-
dant in prosecution was insufficient
to sustain a complaint of the kind,
but the justice overruled the motion
and the case went TO the Jury on
statements by a number OF witnesses
as to the inadequacy of the measur'
ing devices in use on Geertson creek
lIt was on this showing that the jury

STREET WORK BEGINS
IMMEDIATELY

Owing to uncertainty as to which
street will be chosen for the Dixie
Highway and so that work will not
be delayed thru lack OF this know
ledge, our energetic City Council has
decided to start with street not af-
feeted by this question and Pitzer
street will probably be the first
street tackled. The Conden Con-
struction Company of Knoxville is
right on the job and is prepared to
do first class work for the money.
They have been thoroughly investi-
gated by our business-like Council
and found altogether reliable.
The City Council has not let the
grass grow under its feet and is to
be congratulated on its hustle as
well as its foresight as to the real,
vital needs of Barbourville.
Every city becomes what its cit
zens make it and they do the elect
ing of the men who either rock along
or do things.

DEAD BCT ALIVE AGAIN

II falls to few men to be officially
numbered with the dead and to be
still very much alive.
James Edwin Parker, sou Of DR..
J. w. Parker, OF Grays, who fought
for his country in France, had HIS
passport to the land of shadows Of
IDEALLY vised by the War Department
and unaware of the fact, did not
learn that he had crossed the Styx
until he arrived at Corbin. lie was
surprised, but convinced that he was
still flesh and blood, continued on
to Grays. He had wired from New
York that he had landed, the wire
being phoned from London, and the
mother then knew that her son who
was dead was alive again. The fam
lily could learn no more of his where
abouts until he stepped OF the train
1t Grays where neighbors accompan-
led him home and shared the joy of
his parents and little brother in the
happy reunion. People OF the COM
munity came in a steady stream TO
express their pleasure at the safe
return of the hero.
Mr.. Parker took part in two en-
EaEements and while advancing a
gainst the Germans, he lay in a
shallow trench such as were dug
during an advance and a shell tore
his rife to pieces and cut off the
neck of his canteen. He suffered
from shell shock for some. time.
In the second battle he lost the
left big toe nail but continued to
fight for three days AS a result
blood poison set in and he was con-
signed to the hospital and from there
discharged as a casualty and sent
home.
Singularly enough, his cousin,
John w. Parker, son of Gordon Par
her of Bryants Store who enlisted
in Ohio, stepped off the train at
Grays at the same time as did James
Edwin. John w. Parker was in the
St. Mihiel scrap, was one of those
who swan the river Scheldt in face
of the German fire and who came
thru without a scratch. Further. he
spotted a German machine gun de-
tachment firing on the Yanks and
thanking the gun he blew of the
head of the gunner who tried to
shoot him with a revolver and gath
ering up four other kamarads who
quickly surrendered he led them
forth from the conflict to where their
shooting days would be over. The
two boys are products of which
Knox County may we'll be proud.

traps on the job and so keep HIS
new bakery free from these pests.

NJ. G. Hignite, of Barbourville,
Kentucky, is strongly considering
the race for State Senator on the
Republican Ticket, in the 18th SEN
atorial District of Kentucky, COM
posed of the counties of Laurel,
Knox and Bell
He is well known thruout the dis
trict and has many strong personal
and political friends. He has been
known and recognized from boyhood
for his strong, unchanging stand for
the common people. He has always
championed the cause of the COM
mon people and has fought corrup-
ton in. politics and business from
his youth. He is not hard to locate
in politics. He talks square from
the shoulder and fights to the last
ditch for the man or measure which
he champions.
HIS LIFE
Born in 1877, On Goose Creek, in
Knox County, Kentucky. worked on
a farm and attended school until he
was 16 pears old; taught school and
attended school from II to 20 years
of age.
1900 to 1906, was Superintendent
of Schools of Knox County, Ky

tor of Internal Revenue for the Sth

shoes for the Hynes-Hension Shoe

mated he fought for Roosevelt in

ing Rooseyelt's nomination for 1920,
at the time OF the Colonel's death.

ton of the Progressive Party and did

s ly supported the Republican Party
since 1912.

He believes in organization and
stands square out for organized la
Dor. Capital is organized or should
be, labor should organize in all its
branches including mechanics, engi-
neers, miners, farmers and every 9TH
err branch of labor. The sooner
each is organized the sooner each
will get its rights.
If the above Is laws were on our
Statute Books today, a complete O.
volution would have taken place in
the interest of the masses. Capital
would thrive and do well, but would
not have it all. Hope in the world
among the lower classes would be re-
surrected. Poverty and its kindred
sufferings would be banished from
our borders. A new day would
dawn, and a new and brighter sun
would shine upon Kentucky, God
would bless Kentucky and lead her
glorious march to higher and no.
bier state of civilization and happi-
ness.
M. G. Hignite is not an Office seek
er or politician. He has made a
good living by honest, hard work.
He now has plenty to live on and
good job which he has no idea Of
losing. 1t is not for his sake, but
yours, that he advances these meas
ures.
