And the auto bumps. and grinds, and

Where cats glide along with heavy

VIC also think Of one determined man
Who stuck with courage and grit TO
plan,
Never halted whit through SANDER

We praise the name Of Coleman du

We're pleased 10 have this word q

For the man, as well as the benehcenf
! way
He has helped our state. with 10 sci
fish trace,
ADd made for us all much better

BERLIN, March 24.--A great com.
munist uprising is spreading rapidly
throughout middle Germany and cost
the lives Of twenty-five today. Police
were entrenched in scores of banks
and postofiices.
Robberies and looting accompanied
the outburst. The death list included
seventeen in Hamburg, three In Frai-,
burg, five in Dialeben.
A Frankfort Berlin express train
was derailed when communists tore
out a section of the track.
Twenty thousand workers at the
big Leuna Works went on a strike.
The German cabinet was being urged
to declare martial law, but after long
debate it was decided that peace Of.
ticers could control the situation.
Over President Hoersting issued
proclamation, declaring lawless bands
would be combatted to the utmost. In
response to Hoerstings announce
ment, came the immediate declaration

Suggestions We're made freely that

by government investigation.
1t is believed that radicals are
through public dissatisfaction
with allied terms, and have sought to
stir up a general revolt. They hoped !
the demonstration would land them in
power, but is is being quelled.

FEBRUARY Term
CIRCUIT COURT
ENDS THURSDAY
JUDGE TURNER WILL RETURN
FROM LAWRENCEBURG TO
HOLD COURT FOUR DAYS.
Grand Jury Has Much Work to Do
Before Final Adjournment--Eran-
ham & Hughes Fire to Be Investi-
gated Next Week.

The February term of circuit court
will come to a close on Thursday
March 81, it was indicated today.
Judge Turner, who is now holding
court in Lawrenceburg, where several
important cases have been set for
trial this week, will return in time to
convene court here Monday.
Cases have been set for trial on
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday of next week, and it is ex-
pected that several of these cases will
be finally disposed of.
The grand jury will assemble also
on Monday for the completion of work
for the term. 1t is understood that
several matters have been called to
the attention of the jury for inyesti-
cation, one of them being the attempt
ed burning 81 one of the dormitories
OF the Branham & Hughes Military
Academy at Spring Hill by two of the
students.
The jury will also require practical
ly one entire day in the inspection of
county Institutions and records Ju

LIVELY SCRAP
FOR HONORS IN
SCHOOL CONTEST
W. A .. n
RIVAL CANDIDATES NOW AWAIT
SOUNDING OF GONG WHICH
WILL START FUN.
ALL DAY FIELD MEET HERE
Representatives VIII Be in Attendance
From Practically All Larger Schools
OF County, 10 Belief OF the School
Officials.

Representatives of rival schools
who will participate in the contests
billed in the all day meet at Central
High School tomorrow, now await the
gong. All is in readiness for the big
gest gathering Of its kind ever held
here. The program Is most interest
ing one. The literary contsts will con-
sumo practically the entire morning,
and it is possible that it will be nee
essary to continue these contests in
the afternoon, even after the begin
ming of the scramble for honors on
the athletic field begins.
1t is believed that the list of entries
in both departments will be unusually
large, making it certain that competi-
ton will be keen.
Both Mcdowell and Culleoka
schools, winners of honors last year
have announced that they will send
representatives to the meet for the
sole purpose of retaining the honors
they now hold, and if possible to Sc
cure others.
But these schools will have to look
to their laurels, for there are several
dark horses expected to enter the
contests from other schools, and some
real contests are pxnpctad i'm h0th de-
partments.
1t is believed that each team will
be accompanied by number of sup
porters, which will grealy boost the
attendance.
Arrangements have been made to
care for all visiting teams and teach
ers of schools which they represent.

ALMOST READY
FOR ISSUANCE
SCHOOL BONDS
SEVERAL COMMUNITIES HAVE
SUBSCRIPTIONS COLLECTED
AND BONDS EXECUTED.
N ANNEXATION MAY DELAY SEVERAL CASES BEEN SET
Mcdowell Committee VIII Probably
Await Definite information Before
Finally Closing Up With the County
Authorities.

Prof, John P. Graham, county super
intendent, is rapidly getting all the
details adjusted for the issuance of the
building bonds Of the county. Culleo.
ka citizens have their $4,000 subscrip.
tion to the new building in hand and
have executed the bond necessary to
defray their portion of the expenses
of the bond issue.
Spring Hill has already raised and
expended its subscription for the white
school and has made necessary ar
rangements to share it's expenses Of
the bond issue. The negroes at that
place have already in hand nearly the
entire amount of their subscription
and have good notes more than equal
to the balance. They have also been
assured of liberal contribution from
what is known as the Rosenwald fund.
At Rally Hill and Pottsville arrange.
ments have all been completed to
share in the bond issue, in fact the
greater portion of the pubic sub
scription at both places has been rails.
ed and expended.
Mt. Pleasant has completed all of It's
arrangements having put up the nee
essary amount of the funds required
and executed the expense bond. At
Sandy Hook the negro building has
been completed.
The committee from Mcdowell had
practically completed all necessary
details but until it is known just what
effect annexation will have the mat
ter will have to be held open. The
$4,000 subscription for this school
has about all been reduced to banka-
Bile form and the expense bond will
be executed at once.
At Cross Bridges everything waits
on the decision of the board as to
whether or not any further attempt
will be made to secure a consolida-
tion with Zion school, If this attempt
is abandoned the Cross Bridges COM
mittee will be ready to meet its part
of the obligation.
1t is probable that at this time Nc
Gains and Bigbyville will be left out
Of the bond issue due to the failure
of the citizens to adjust differences
regarding the location of the new
building. The same situation exists
In the second district where a failure
to agree OH a location has prevented
compliance on the part of the local
committee with the county's PROPOSE
tion. This is also the case at Roach
in the first district 1t had been hop
ed to effect a consolidation in that
part of the county, but so far that has
not been possible.
Only so much of the bond issue will
be sold at this time as will be necessa-
ry to provide funds for the buildings
at the places where local committees
have completed arrangements to meet
the county's proposition.
