ROCKVILLE, Ind, Sept 11.-Declaring

means the repeal of the Johnson home
rule bill, and the wiping away of the
| last vestige of local control over tax

McCulloch, democratic candidate for gov
ernOr, speaking here last night, declared
that if elected he would do all in his
power to make local self government a
permanent affair in Indiana.
Dr. McCulloch said in part:

the administration of Gov Goodrich of

that we should have three branches of
government in this state.

We copy the following from the
"Pickaway County News" publish
ed at Ashville, o.:
Robert Scott Smith, a prominent
farmer and stockman, died at the
age Of 46, at his home on the Col
umbus pike. Thursday morning,
Sept. End, 1920, after a prolonged
illness of paralysis, caused by a
spinal injury.
Mr.. Smith came here from Mt.
Sterling, KY, in 1908 and settled
upon the Patterson farm, which he
has since occupied and operated.
His wife, who was Miss Dorothy
Turney Patterson, of Hillsboro, O.,
survives him, with two children,
Katherine and VIM. HALEY. He is
also survived by two sisters, who
live at Mt. Sterling, Ky.-Mrs. L. E.
Griggs and Miss Lucy C. Smith.
He was the son of the late Major
VIM. HALEY Smith, a man of sterling
integrity and worth. in Montgomery
county, Kentucky. He was an en-
thusiastic and successful breeder of
Polled Shorthorn cattle and by per-
severance and industry had gather
ed herd of merit which is valuable
property and the kind from which a
community would have profted and
we regret the loss of the value of his
experience and judgment. The mag
nificent animal, "Forest Prince"
head of his herd, took Senior Cham
pionship at Ohio State Fair the day
Mr.. Smith died.
He was progressive and public
spirited and took active interest in
our schools and the Grange and all
farm and community projects. He
had served as member of the school
board, was president of the Farmers
Institute for several years and
Master of the Scioto Valley Grange,

successful leader. He affiliated
with the M. f. Church at South |
