CHARGE $4,000 USED
IN JUDGESHIP RACE
Both Hurst and Kash Say Each
Other Bought Votes Lavish
ly In Primary

BeattyviIle, KY, Sept. 8.-Judge A.
NJ. Cisco of Grayson, special judge
sitting in the contest of W. l.. Kash,
of Jackson, against his cousin, Sam
Hurst, of Beattyville, for the republi-
can nomination for circuit judge, ov-
erruled a motion to throw out the
case on technicality. Several hun
dred witnesses have been summoned
for each side from Lee, Breathitt and
Estill counties and hearings of the
testimony begin today. By agree
ment each side will have four days to
present it's evidence.
Mr.. Kash in his contest charges
ballot box stufing, illegal voting and
corrupt use of money, alleges that
$4,000 was used in bribing voters
and corrupting election officers. He
stated that by use of money fully 500
votes were influenced in favor of Mr..
Hurst, who, on the face of the re-
turns, won the nomination by thirteen
votes.
In his response Mr.. Hurst denied
the charges, and made counter
charges, alleging that Mr.. Kash used
$4,000 in the campaign, of which
$4,000 was contributed by corpora
tions. He charges that more than 750
votres were corruptd in favor of Mr..
Kash; that many persons who voted
for the latter were not legal voters,
and that in one precinct the republi-
can sheriff, A. E. Whit, electioneer-
ing for Mr.. Kash, led Hurst voters
from the polling place and refused to
permit them to re-enter until they
had promised to vote for Mr.. Kash.
Mr.. Kash is represented by five
lawyers, A. F. Byrd being chief coun-
sci, while Hurst has 18 attorneys,
headed by Judge Samuel NJ. Wilson,
of Lexington.
Judge J. K. Roberts refused to sit
in the case because he is the demo-
cratic nominee for the office. Because
of bitterness engendered by. the con-
test friends of Judge Roberts feel
that he has an excellent chance to sue
ceed himself.

The great Fordson tractor dem
stration today, "Wednesday, at the
C. F. Chenault farm, east of the

attracted and interested many.
The tour will not be completed
until number of other import

RUSH FOR BOOKS
AS SCHOOL. OPENS
Caldwell Students Report For
Study-lnstructions Corps Is
Pleasing To Board

1t is estimated that more than 400
school books were purchased Monday
! afternoon at local store, where spe-
cial arrangements had been made for
the accommodation of the students,
owing to the opening of the city
schools. The rush, which started ear
ly during the day, continued until the
time for the closing of the store, and
not half, it is said, of the necessary
purchasing has been done. While
there is no change is books called for
at this time, many are in need OF new
books for the term just opening, ow-
ing to promotions. The past year was
one of the most prolific in this re-
spect recorded in years.
The Caldwell school opening Tues
day precipitated the rush for books,
and the big corps of clerks was in
adequate to handle the demands. There
were histories and spoilers, readers
and other volumes the contents of
which will be mastered by the young
sters in the future. The rush for
books, however, was out of the ordi-
nary, and while precautionary mea-
sures had been taken, the supply of
clerks could not accommodate the
rush. There will be a continued sale
for some time, it is reported, a. ter
The students have reported to their
instructors and the latter find out just
what books are necessary.
There were large and small stu
dents, some so small, in fact, that
they had written list of the books
needed All possible were supplied,
and Wednesday morning there was a
resumption of the rush before the op-
ening of the school doors, many be-
lated ones making their purchases.
Indications are that the Caldwell
school, which will be the scene of
the school carnival day exercises, will
record another very successful term,
since the faculty is pleasing to the
members of the board, who claim the
instructors are among the best pro-
durable. The change of books may
be officially made later; however,
there is nothing definite regarding
this at present.

MADISON LEADING
WITH CHAMPION HOGS
Nothing Thus Far Shown In
State Equals Pieratt's Exhi-
bition At Lexington Fair

III. c. Pieratt, residing east of the
city, reports that the second biggest
show on the grounds at TIE Blue
Grass fair at Lexington was his hogs,
the first being Uncle John Shell, who
claims the distinction of being 134
years of age, the oldest man living.
Mr.. Pieratt continues to walk away
with the prizes in several classes of
hogs, and will move his stock to the
State fair at Louisville the last of the
week, where they will be on exhibi-
tion,, and ne expects to continue with
the blue ribbon exercise.
He started in with the prize bust
ness at Lexington by showing the
famous champion boar, two years old,
weighing 1,115 pounds. The next
came the prize for the senior year
ling boar class, and then he took the
prize in the list for grand champion
boar. This was but half OF the prizes
awarded to him for his hogs, since in
the same class he was awarded first
prize in the entire list for sows. This
pair has not been eXcelled thus far
in the state exhibitions and they have
been shown at most of the fairs thus
far
The second and thirds on gifts were
also awarded to the Madison county
man besides number of smaller
awards. The exhibition attracted the
attention of Poland China producers
from several states The show is
said to have been one CT the best in
dividual exhibitions ever placed be-
fore the public at a Kentucky fair.
Mr.. Pieratt is specializing in this
line and believes he will be able to
carry ffthe prizes for this class of
hogs when all of the exhibitions of
the state have been made. Thus far
he has received nothing but the first
on the first two hogs mentioned, and
many specialists along this line are
verify of the belief that the cham
pion hogs for this class will claim
enjoying the trade of their lives.

TOBACCO IS SPOILING

Maysville, KY, Sept. 8.-The tobac-
co that has been cut and housed in
this section is being damaged badly
by the continued wet weather and
some places where the barns arc not
substantial the weed is rotting on
the sticks, the leaves dropping off in
large quantities. Most of the tobacco
that has been cut and housed was not
thoroughly ripe and this is in much
worse condition than the small
amount that had ripened.

MARE STEPS ON HOG
And BREAKS Her BACK

lar accident. Mr.. Shearer was on the

town. The horse ran up on the hogs
in some way, and striking them with
her feet, became frightened and rear
ed backward. She fell over backward,
and appeared to strike her head very
hard on some rocks. She died in
stantly and is believed to have bro
ken her neck. Mr.. Sharer valued his
saddle mare highly, and sustained a
heavy loss in her death.

DECIDE TO DELAY

Majority Leaders in Congress to
Await Better Economic

Washington.-Repu leaders OF

til the present large government eX-
penditurcS can he reduced of all leg
islation providing for the granting of
bonuses or other aid to service men.
1t is expected similar action will be
taken on the question of universal mil
itary training because of the present
need for economy.
The attitude of the Republicans is
not one of hostility toward the PROPOSE
tiOn, it was emphasized, but the unan-
imous belief that the state of govern
mental finances absolutely prohibits
any legislation along this line at pres
ent.
Reports that the American Legion )
representatives are planning to press
their demands for a soldier bonus and
the approval of universal military
training were partly responsible for
the action Likewise there are many
members of both parties who have
been urging this legislation, as shown
by the number of bills introduced
The position Of the Republican lead
ers will he presented to the legion rep
resentatives, and because of the pres
ent financial situation confidence is ex-
pressed on both sides of the Capitol
that the service men Will agree to the
postponement, inasmuch as a virtual
pledge will be given to grant the aid
i'm the form of a cash or bond bonus or
loans to buy farms and homes when
the treasury is in position 20 stand the
appropriation necessary.
At the conference the congressional
leaders emphasized that all danger Of
another popular loan has not passed.
Unless expenditures can be kept very
closely within revenues no other
course except loan is seen. The
largest reductions, as Mr. Mondell has
stated, will be i'm the army and navy
appropriation bills
All these facts will he presented to
the legion representatives. Tie least
expenditure contemplated by anv Of
the soldier aid propositions is s.. .OOO.- -
600 900, while the highest is $4,000
100000. The service men probably
will propose that Congress give them
long term bonds, thus not nccessitat-
ing any immediate drain on the treas
ury other than annual interest. The
suggestion will be made, It is under
stood, That $50 bond be given each
man. thus requiring "a bond authOriza-
tion of S2OOO.OOOOOO the annual inter-
est requirement for which would be
