PLAN WINTER EVENTS

With that bunch of new officers
for Jesse NJ. Dykes Post, No u
American Legion, and the change in
the law regarding boxing there prom
iscs to be something doing in Rich
mOnd during the cold winter months
and it is believed the membership of
the organization here will receive d
decided impetus, for the are many
eligibles who have not become affili-
ated. 1t is the intention to start the
activity along various lines after the
convention at Louisville, where many
of the members of the various posts
Of the state will become better ac-
quainted, and some will be very glad
indeed that they are eligible to mem
bership.
The local post contemplates procur-
ing more adequate and suitable head
quarters and will start a fund-pro-
ducing crusade in the way of a series
of entertainments that promises to
give unusual entertainment to many
during the next six months. Among
these will be the minstrel show and
this, is is assured, will be some show.
There is aid to be coniderable local
talent and the plans in a preliminary
way will be given attention soon.

GREAT DELANDO AMUSES
AND ENTERTAINS MANY

DeLando, mystic seer and crystal
gazer, began a weeks engagement a
the Richmond Opera House last
night. He was greeted at the initial
performance by large crowd who
were both amused and mystified. De
I.ando answers questions with astoll-
ishing accuracy and had every one
spellbountl. He is said to be the only
man in the world who foretold the
end of tie great world war and the
abaicaticn of the Kaiser two yeais
ago.
He possesses unusual faculties foT
character reading, is an expert phre-
nologist and says that it is compara-
lively easy fol- him to lead peoples
minds and cnal scter. He has been
employed several times by some OF
the largest concerns in the country
for selecting persons for filling posi-
tions of trust on account of his mar
velous ahi.ity for reading their char
acters. DeLando will be an added
attraction at the opera house all this
week.

at Boonesboro for the great eastern
overland ace of 800 miles finished a
strenuous week, closing Saturday af-
telpoon, whe nthey completed the
regular workout for the week, max
ing one of the best records yet

sists of fording streams, hurdling and
taking in all kinds of rough territory,
wh ich answers a two-fold purpose,
tha; of giving them extraordinary
staying qualities and familiarizing
them with the difficult task of over
coming apparently unsurmountable
barriers. The steeds are making a
good showing, according to the men
in charge of their training, and two

sembled for the first time this
year at the school for the purpose
of transacting business pertaining
to the school.
The opening exercises played a
very important part in the affair

MADISON HIGH PLANS

Since the dream that there be q
manual training department, a real
one, provided for the Madison High
school, Jrof. j. Howard Payne, SUI
perintendent of the city schools, who
has returned from a short stay in the
vicinity of Cincinnati, is preparing
for the winters work, and the pro-
gram will be interesting to those par
ticipating, to say the least. He las
been advocating this department for
years, and many of the students of
the institution have been causing him
much worry as a result of the inabil-
ity heretofore to procure the improve
ment. Now, since it is assured, there
are also many students planning as
TO what they will do in TIE near fu-
ture. The wireless instruments will
be provided and it is expected com
munications will be made with sur
rounding cities, since a number Of
those interested in the work contend
they will have the necessary strength,
if they have to furnish the "power"
themselves. Some Of them are rapid
operators on smaller apparatus they
have at their homes and have grown
quite proficient in handling the sys-

TIMELY DELUGE
PROVES BENEFICIAL

The time could not have been more
propitious nor the rain more bouptj-
full or beneficial than the deluge of
Saturday night, when the tobacco of
Madison county, or the greater part
of it, at least, is said to have been
snatched from the effect of parching
sun and rust, and transformed as
if by magic into fields of promise
and the farmer is more sanguine to-
day over the prospects for credit
able tobacco crop than at any time
during the present season, azld the ef-
feet upon the corn, of which there is
said to be an extensive acreage, is al
ready very, apparent.
1t is said to have been the effect
of the old-fashfoned, persistent, pen
etrating and continuing variety that
cause vegetation to grow by leaps
and bounds. Many are of the opinion
there will be great disappearance
in the effect of the rust, which is re-
ported in some sections to have caus-
ed considerable damage, although
not great as in other localities.

CONSTABLE POFF
HAS HEARING SET
Enters Plea Of Not Guilty Thru
Local Attorneys Employed
To Defend Him

Constable Andy Poff, who shot
ard killed Jasper Kirby last
Thursday evening at the Berea

taken Tuesday morning by Coun-
ty Judge w. *. Price.

Terrill, officiated as clerk. The
proceedings required but short
time. Poff had nothing to say
when he was returned to Rich
nond, it is said, refusing to com
ment upon the case In the mean
time witnesses will be summoned
and it is believed there will be a
large number, since there are said
to have been many near by at the
time of the tragedy.
Poff has employed legal talent
in the persons of Attorneys A. r.
Burnam and John holland, and
waived a formal arraignment in
the county court through his at
torneys and entered plea of not
guilty to a formal charge of muir
der.
The members OF the Kirby fam
lily have employed City Attorney
]. P. Chenault and City Judge G..

COAL RETAILERS
HOLD BIG MEETING
Richmond Men In Attendance
Seek Betterment of Condi-
tions Relative To Trade

w. w. Broaddus, l.. R. Blanton and
Willoughby Brothers, Richmond coal
dealers, are in attendance at the
meeting of the Central Kentucky Re
tail Coal Dealers Association for the
purpose of cooperating and forming
a better plan whereby they will be
able to ascertain the quality of coal
obtainable, as we'll as to form clos
er relationship with the wholesalers
of the state.
The meeting, which is the second
one to be held, is taking place in
Louisville for the convenience of ma
ny of the Western Kentucky retail
ers who want to get in on the coop
way to manage the future shipments
Of coal products. It is with the inten-
ton of acquainting the wholesalers
with the legitimate dealer in the re-
tail line that the meeting is being
held, and the membership has great
ly increased since the recent meeting
IN Lexington. 1t is the belief of the
dealers that if they form a strict or
ganization, and heartily cooperate,
they will be able to comand better
service. They realize that coal will
be high in price and hard to get this
winter, and they are desirous of seek
ing the best way out
There is a small supply of coal in
Richmond at the present time, and
the regular price is quoted at $15 per
ton. 1t is said this prevails in almost
every town and city in this section Of
the state, with a few exceptions,
where coal is known to have been
sold as high as SIG per ton. The local
retailers stated the new freight rates,
soon effective, would mean an
increase in the price of coal delivered
to the city, but where this additional
cost would fall has not been definitely
decided.

w. n. Glover, one of the Youngest

led his plans regarding the proceed

THAT he will retrace his steps on
Main street, finishing that thoro-
fare before starting on First and
East Main streets, as was the or
iginal intention. He stated Sat
urday that he had been studying
the business here on Saturday.
.and felt that by the change in plan
there would be no interruption
nor stagnation Of traffic on First
street, and the work or Main
street would be carried out in re-
gard to excavation. until finished,
after which the work on First
street would be taken UP.
This viii admit of other streets
being held open to their fullest
extent, whereby u the work on
First street was faken up, both
Main and First streets would be
broken at the same time. and Mr..
Oliver feared it would interfere
very materially with Saturday
crowds especially, and also with
the business Of the merchants. So
the retracing Of the work will
terminate in the concrete being
laid aud allowed to settle. and the
application Of asphalt beingplaced
the full length of Main street,
from Lancaster avenue to First
street at one time, and then the
finishing Of this street will enable
the work to proceed on First
street Withou interruption and at
the same time not interfere with
the business so extensively.

SPEEDERS HANDED
FINE and SENTENCE
City Judge Smith Keeps Word
After Issuing Warning and
Being Lenient

City Judge G. Murray Smith PROVED
his word in assessing fine and tack
ing a Jail sentence in the case OF
James Park, colored, charged with
speeding. This was the second offense
for the man, who had been let go
some time ago on the promise of good
behavior. Parks said he would be
careful. He 'let her OUT with the
result that his arrest followed. lie
was absent when his case was called
for trial and the hearing was held
without his presence, City Judge
Smith assessing a fine of $40 and
costs and Jail sentence of five days.
Parks will be confronted with the
news of the result of his trial upon
being apprehended.
Another who failed to respect
the new speed laws, despite the warn
ing given, was William Parks, white,
who said he "guessed" he was going
a little too fast, with the result that
he was handed fine of So and costs,
this being the first time he has been
caught by the police. He paid the fine
and seemed satisfied to get off that
easy, after having heard the sentence
added to the fine of the first offender.
He was informed, however, that
should be be brought before the
court again he could make arrange
ments TO lay off for five days, for he
surely would be given a Jail SEN
tence.
This same statement was made to
Hugh McHaifney, who parted with
ten spot as a result of his failure to
observe the speed law, and he was
followed by Andrew Packson, driver
of truck. Andrew drew a fine of Is
bucks, which he paid, ard was in
formed that another infractiOn of the
law he could serve notice upon his
employer that he would not be back
to work for several days, being de-
tanned elsewhere" Robert Watts is
another against whom papers were
served charged with violating the
speed laws, but he escaped for the
time beng, owing to the fact that he
was called away from the city owinS
to the serious illness of near rela-
tive. He will be given a hearing up
on his return to the city.
Nettie Hamilton, cOlored, let her
angry passion rise above food tide
much to the discontinue of Che neigh
bors, with tue result that she was ar
rested charged with breach Of the
peace. She will have 10 days in gail
in which to Learn to control her tenn
per.
A number of boys charged with
shooting craps were to have been
tped, but the cases were carried over
as result of the attorney for the
alleged gamesters being called out of
the city. They will be set for a later
date upon the arrival of the attorney
