ment to be published this week By

article reviewing the political situa-

licsn column on November 2.
Most encouraging reports come
frem the section south of the Ma
son and Dixon line known as the
"solid SOUTH" says the article. The
hustling young Republican party
managers in Kentucky last fall
cracked the solid south with a re-
sounding thwack that was heard all
over the nation. II was the logical
result OF a change in political senti-
ment that was going on in the Com
monwealth, and inspires the belief
that. for the second time in her his
tory, Kentucky will go with the Re-
publicans in a presidential election
THE big thing in Kentucky poli-
tics 10 that the Republicans Of the
State are possessed of a spirit to win
Chesley H. Searcy, chairman OF the
State campaign committee. and his
effective fastOciates, are preaching
this doctrine day and night. Or
ganizstion is being carried into each
district in the State more thoroughly
than ever before.
THE Republicans are. thoroughly
harmonious. Richard p. Ernst, OF
Covington, a man known and loved
all over the State, is the partys
candidate for United States Senator.
The Democrats, on The other hand,
are divided. Inspired by the nots-

FINE LECTURE

DIR. W. w. Anderson, president OF
the Kentucky state Medical Associ-
alton, and DIR. J. S. Lock were here
Saturday in attendance on the Knox
County Medical Association.
In the evening at the Court House
DR.. Anderson delivered q splendid
inspirational address on THE Mind
and Health" which should have been
heard by every citizen In Barbour
Vile. The speech was hecked with
humor and yet was full OF thought
on the influence Of the mind on the
health. Touching on the various
creeds or isms which have been
founded with the mind as the basis
for the cure of bodily Ills, DR.. An
derson said there is a modicum OF
truth in them all and that teaching
the evil effects of worry and the
beneficial process OF q cheerful out
look on life has made many cures
of ills due to worry. He stated, how
ever, that they cannot be used for
the cure of organic trouble.
DR.. Lock followed with a tribute
to the work about to be undertaken
by Miss Efie Jump, Red Cross Nurse
Who, after completing her course of
lectures over the County, will take
up public health nursing. DR.. Lock
said he was glad to complimene Miss
Jumps work elsewhere and asked
that our people get behind her and
help her to eradicate such evils as
typhoid. dysentery and other pre-
ventable diseases which even now
are raging in Knox County.
After the addresses a banquet was
served at the Jones Hotel which
was attended by the medical men,
their wives and other invited guests.

100000 a year for five years for
road construction, introduced in the
House OF Representatives by Mr.,
Robsion, will be taken up when Con

HOoDLUMs AT LARGE
IN KNOX COUNTY
Destroy Watermelon Patch

A most dlsgraceful outrage was
perpetrated last Friday when w. Il.
Carey was attending the funeral OF
his sister-in-law at Artemus.
Men or boys, with minds which
are non-understandable, except that
they are degenerates. entered Mr..
Carey's garden and deliberately de-
stroyed his watermelon patch, which
contained about 500 worth of grow
ing melons. They kicked the green
melons to pieces and cut the vines.
Mr.. Carey is a splendid citizen,
one whose progressive ideas will
mean much to Knox County II he
can get protection against such de-
liberate hoodlumism. He intended
to put out two acres OF stra wberries
next season and thus initiate the
biggest example we could have as to
what strawberries will do in the
county but there is mighty little en-
couragement for anyone to do any
thing of the kind IL the work of
weeks and months is to be subject
ed to the good pleasure of such a
bunch of hoodlums whose minds
would shame those of Igorrotes.
We understand the matter is be-
ing brought to the attention of the
Grand Jury and we sincerely hope
that the perpetrators of this das-
tardly outrage will be run down and
if found guilty. be given the limit.
1t is also stated that a widow,
who was depending on the money
from her peach orchard to see her
thru, lost her crop, the thieves US
ing wagons to carry away the fruit
This is as low down a trick as the
other and is plain thieving Just as
much as tho they had broken into a
store or residence.
1t has been told the editor when
seeking to boost fruit growing, that
1t cannot be done as the fruit will
be stolen. If so, why? If these
cases are reported and an officer
put on every case until run down
and the thieves sent to the peniten-
tiary, it will soon cease. 1t is be-
cause they have been allowed to get
away with it that they feel they can
do it, The robbing of gardens is
on the same plane. Let us make it
known that every theft will be paid
for by the limit and the thieves in
Knox County will not mock the law
nor will hoodlums destroy the work
of Industrious citizens. Send them
up. A thief is a thief and a degen-
crate should be in the place where
such persons are kept.
The. Advocate will be glad to re-
port all we'll authenticated cases
and dlduggests that they be given to
the Officers and the newspaper. Just
so long as people meekly stand for
it so long will it go on and no
longer.

SHOOTING AT MANCHESTER

On Saturday afternoon q shooting
ARRAY took place between Theo Lyt-
tie and a man named Mills. The
shooting was at the Manchester C..
& NJ. depot while the travelling pub
lie were in coal gons, supplied by the
management to take them to the
other side of a wreck which pre-
vented the regular train from reach
ing Manchester to bring the passen-
gers over to Barbourville. Mr.. Lyt-
tie was in one of the gons when
Mills got in and it is alleged, walk
ed over to- him and started to Shoot.
The first shot took aeffsct,. entering
by the liver, but, fortunately across
the side rather than into the liver.
The wounded man Immediately got
his pistol into play and shot Mills
thru the arms and legs. Mills tumb-
led from the gon and 1t was thot he
was dead, but, tho ii is believed he
will lose one of his legs. from which
the bone is said to have protruded,
he will most likely live. 1t is said
Mills had worked for Mr.. Lyttle at
one of his lumber mills and trouble
had arisen over some band saws or
belts.
The gons were full Of people when
the shooting occurred and as may
be imagined, they jumped over the
sides without delay. and fortunately,
no one else was hurt.
