DYNAMITE BLAST
SKATERS WINDOWS
And Stones Plow Thru Roofs of
Houses, Say Residents Near
Stone Quarry

County stone quarrie5 adjacent to
the city limits came in for an unex-
pected inning at the regular meeting
of the city council Thursday night
through County Road Engineer Bax-
ter, who stated that there was need
for a fence on Hill street at the en-
trance to the quarry, and a fence or
some other protection, since the loca-
ton was a dangerous one TO pedes-
trians, owing to the lack of lights,
and the fact that there was no pro-
lection in case of runaway or to the
average stranger in the vicinity. He
added that the county would build a
stone wall or fence, if necessary, but
admitted that the situation should be
rendered safer at once.
Then came a number of residents
of the vicinity, mostly colored people,
who maintained they had even had
children injured as result of the
explosions of dynamite in the quarry,
and that many holes were forced
through the roofs of their houses and
windows shattered. One man stated
large stones, hurled high in the air,
crashed through his roof and broke
the ceiling on the second floor. Cap
tain Sharpe, owner of a number of
dwellings, in the vicinity, vouched for
the truth of the statements, adding
that his property was being materi-
ally damaged, and asked that investi-
gatiCn be Immediately made, threat
ening an injunction, if not damages,
in case it was not. The complaintants
were informed that neither the city
nor county was operating the quarry
at present, that it was being done by
. contracting firm, and committee
will inspect the conditions with the
view to having them changed. 1t
very probable that unless this is done
there Will be an injunction sought
soon. Another resident of the vicin-
ity said the children are told to cover
at the sound of an explosion, and
that a shower of rock would pour
down with great force after the re-
port of TIE explosion was heard. 1t
viii De the intention of the committee
to prevail upon the operators using
smaller charges of dynamite, it Is
said.

VOTE CONGRESSIONAL
NOMINEE SATURDAY
Democrats of 9Th District To Pick
Man To Defeat King Swope
In November

| 1CIIIOI lOW, OdtuI udy, TIE /Iu,
the democrats OF the Eighth Con-
gressional district will nominate
their candidate to oppose King
Swope in the Congressional cleo
ton in November.
Three of the four candidates for
the nomination have been waging
vigorous campaign during the
past few weeks especially Each
says he is confident of victory and
the friends of each are making all
sorts of claims as to the majori-
ties and pluralities that he will
obtain.
At the last minute the usual
campaign lies are beginning to
make their appearance, but few
usually pay any attention to such
and it is expected that most of the
voters have already made up their
minds just how they are going to
vote, and will pay little attention
to the campaign liar.
In fact, the 11th hour tales usu-
ally act as a boomerang. and
ireally hurt the man in whose in
terest they are really started
Here in Madison it is conceded
generally that Col. Frank Ripy, OF
Anderson county, will carry the
county, but the question OF the
size of his plurality varies accord
ing to the man you are talking to.
The Ripy adherents are expecting
Il majority of 1000 or more, it is
said. while friends of Ralph Gil
bert are said to believe that Ripy
will do we'll to get 500 plurality.
Friends of Private George I.
Davis are not so numerous as
others. but many predict that the
size Of his vote will surprise ev-
eryone. The race here is between
Ripy and Gilbert. however.
In Garrard the same conditions
prevail, with Davis showing up
well. however. In Lincoln the
race is said to be mainly between
Gilbert and Davis, with Ripy close
up In Casey and Adair, it is
claimed that the principal race is
between Davis and Gilbert. In
Boyle it is the same, according to
we'll posted politicians. In Mer-
Ger the race is between Gilbert
and Ripy, with Davis close up;
the same in Anderson In Jessa-
mine Davis is said to have many
friends but it is thought that the
principal vote will be cast for
Ripy or Gilbert. In Spencer the
race is between Davis and Gilbert
and the same holds. true in Shelby.
the home OF Judge Gilbert, and
the native county of Davis, who
has many friends there.
It will be interesting to note
just how well the returns bear
ont the above unbiased forecast
Of the trend Of the vote as given
by disinterested observers over
the district
The polls open at 6 o'clock in
the morning ard close at four in
the afternoon. A good set of
election officials have been named.
Friends of Col. Ripy in this coun-
ty have also named inspectors and
challengers to be at the polls on
election day and watch the voting

shot and almost instantly killed
at the Berea Fair grounds Thurs
day afternoon by Constable Andy
Potf, of near Bobtown.
Feeling became high as a result
OF the killing Thursday night, and
after Poff had been lodged in jail
at Richmond, a grapevine" re-
port came to local officials that a
"mob" of about 30 men were com
ing here in an effort to take Poff
from Jail and lynch him. Acting
Jailer Luther Burgess. in charge

conferred with County Judge w.
X. Price, who authorized that
Poff be transferred to jail at Lex
ington for safekeeping. Young
Burgess and Sheriff Whitlock
then took Poff to Lexington. He
will be brought back later for eN-
amining trial as soon as the time

facts as to the cause of the killing.
Kirby was attending the fair with
a party OF young men from Rich

having a good time" according
to witnesses. when Poff came
upon them. One report is that

rea. is said to have told the boys
TO get i'll their car and go home.
Poff told officers here that he had
hold of one of the young men who
called for the others to help him.

came TYP and started to draw Il
pistol and that he shot.
Others say that Kirby was in
his shirt sleeves and had his coat
under one arm; that seeing Pof's
gun ont ne began backing off say
ing to Poff that nc wasn't doing
anything to have Il gun pointed
at him: but that Poff shot him,
the bullet entering the left side
and coming out his back. He died
while being taken to the BCrca

very heart of the treaty of peace.
 Ample opportunity for reconsideration, for compromise, has been allowed the sen- ate Not only has it not taken advantage of it. but Mr. Lodge, floor leader of the ma jority has openly stated that as far as the senate is concerned the treaty is dead.
 The treaty being dead in the senate, which must ratify any treaty before it can become effective, two courses are left open to President Wilson. First, he might try to reopen negotiations and make a new treaty. But he has no assurance that any treaty he may negotiate would be ratified by the present senate. Rather is the re verse indicated by its whole attitude. The second and final recourse he has is an ap- peal to the people, It Is regrettable that such an appeal entails considerable delay. It is to be hoped that 1t will yet not be made necessary, that the ''bitter cnders ' may vet recede from their unyielding atti- tudc and ratify the treaty in such a shapc that the underlying principle of the league of nations may be preserved intact. But should 1t prove necessary after all efforts to make the league an issue in the next President Wilson will be sure to have the support of a united democratic party.

A SATISFACTORY ALIBI
(New York GlObe)

Governor Harding has written in aightforWard fashion to Senator Owen explaining the degree to which the federal reserve system was responsible for the re- cent disastrous break in the stock market. His letter should put an end once for all to hints and rumOrs that the reserve sys- tenn officials engineered the crash with any ulterior motive, or that their action came without warning. Governor Harding shows that he had repeatedly tried to check the era of mad speculation which was ab- sorbing the country's liquid capital. He could not raise the rediscount rate more than he did without laying himself open to charges of unfair treatment of Liberty Bond buyers who had borrowed from their banks to pay for their holdings He shows was intended, among other duties, to pro vide the capital needed for legitimate com mercial enterprise, and the action taken to halt the speculation which was making this impossible was therefore quite justi- fled.
 At the same time the fact remains that the general public had no idea that the federal reserve authorities were fighting speculation. Either the warnings were so dignifed and gentle, or so technical in language, that they never penetrated to the crowds consciousness. Governor Hard ing will have to learn to use a megaphone next time-if there is to be next time The violence and suddenness of the crash is sufficient answer to his protestation that everybody "should have known" what i'm pended.
