POOH! POOHM
DR.. House Discounts Little
Shooting Affray at
Court House"

A fine growing city, which is emerg
ing from life on Il small scale. de-
veloping into the stronger and more
settled life of city Of great promise,
whose citizens are fine, broad.mnded,
large hearted wholesome, free of
snobbishness. a splendid community
spirit-such is the substance Of an
analysis Of the city of Ardmore. made
by Dr. T.. l.. House, famous lecturer
who is delivering a series of lectures
in the city on THE Psychology of
Religion
DR.. House, however, did not fail to
cite few things which the city needs
and which will tend to develop the
city and its boys and girls.
"A city that grows rich quickly
is like a person who acquires wealth
rapidly, certain clements enter into
1t that are objectionable. and which
will have to be eliminated, but this is
no more true of Ardmore than any
other city of like growth.
Something TO Watch.
Some people who acquire wealth
rapidly are apt to be lavish spenders,
extravagant in the matter of clothing,
or other material possessions, the
greatest mistake perhaps being the
giving to children too much money,
! allowing them too much latitude.
Now this is not giving the attention to
child life that should be given-it
| has a weakening effect on the boys
and girls. 1t is sometimes called an
''aristocracy made of money-rather
| than by intellectual requirement. a
city must watch itself there.
You have fine people. men and
women who are broad.mnded and
large hearted. / have not seen any
/ snobbishness-I presume it is here,
/ but / have not seen it-ths is a fine
! characterization and element of power.

an all-round good unity.
"One thing l notice quite particular.

The Really Big Woman.
This is n mistake. The real big
woman, the woman who Is looking

nothing prevent her attendance. she

An appeal for "a New Kentucky in
The Old Kentucky Home,v was
made by Governor Edwin p. Nor
row at Frankfort yesterday in
special message to the General AS
sembly recommending submission to
the people of two bond issues ag-
gregating fifty-6ve millions Of dol
lars for roads and its public insti-
tutions. The governor asked for
fifty million dollars for highways
and five million dollars for the edu-
cational and penal and charitable
institutions. He recommended the
erection Of two or three small teach
err training schools to help supply
the need for the State for school
teachers.
The State has made only one con-.
siderable investment in the public
business of the State since the Civil
war, Governor Morrow told the
members of the assembly, and that
was the present State capitol. 1t
has followed policy of patching,
repairing and additions in relation
to its public institutions until today
the institutions of the State are in
adequate and far out of date.
GAS result of this policy Of BIZ
ennial patching" said the governor,
"of additions made here and there
and repairs provided for at various
legislative sessions, the public bust
ness of Kentucky has not grown in
usefulness and service with the
passing years; has not developed to
meet its needs and necessities, and
with no great investment made in its
business the State has not taken
the gigantic strides Of stalwart
progress which Kentucky could and
should have taken.
eve have not kept pace in the
march of progress" the governor
said. "Though we love Kentucky
with all our hearts, yet if we are
honest, we are driven to the humil-
iating confession that Kentucky
lags behind; she is back in roads
and schools and colleges. Her in
stitutions are inadequate; her char
liable and penal institutions as
plants are out of date, insufficient,
overcrowded, unsanitary and cannot
meet the necessities, nor render the
service for which they exist and are
maintained.
eve have heard for years the cry
for better roads and better schools
and greater colleges and institutions
Of charity, worthy of the kindly
heart of Kentucky but still we have
gone on from year to year-from
legislature to Notwithstanding
the old-adding to the Inadequate
holding to the useless and repairing
the obsolete, without the courage to
make a great investment of capital
with the fun confidence that the bus
mess was worthy of the investment
and that upon every dollar ventur-
ed. there would come returns in
dividends shown by, new growth,
new progress. new development and
the greater welfare and happiness
of the people of Kentucky"
With the sum now available for
highways, it viii take many years
to complete the primary system of
State highways, the governor told
the assembly in discussing the pro-
posal that a fifty million dollar bond
issue be submitted to the people
for that purpose. The sum now
available is not sufficient to meet
any great part of the cost of con-

ed these highways completed as
soon as possible and that by issuing
fifty millions Of dollars of bonds at
four and one-half to FIVE per cent
the system could be built more
quickly and that the bonds could
be retired in thirty years without in
creasing the tax levy Of the State
in any way. The sum asked, to-
gether with the Federal Aid funds,
available, will furnish the system
and adequately maintain it, accord

PAUL PARKER FOR
COUNTY COURT CLERK

Paul Parker, member Of the firm
of the Watson Parker Drug Co., is
candidate for the office of Clerk Of
the County Court of Henderson coun-
ty, and his name as such candidate
will appear on the official ballot in
the general election on the 3rd day
of August.
Mr.. Parker is one of large and
well-known family, principally known
as merchants at Wildersville, being o
son of Mr.. ]. P. Parker, a retired
merchant of that town. Paul is
twenty-eight years old and has suf-
ficient education and business exper-
fence to insure his ability to fill the
office he seeks. He is retiring in
manner, courteous and disposed to be
on good terms with all.
He was one of the young men Of
Henderson county who saw war SER
vice overseas, spending eight months
in France, where the American SOL
diers figured most in the World War.
The time being very short before
the election, Mr.. Parker will find it
impossible to see many of the people,
but he will do his best to reach them
in various ways, to ask their support,
influence and votes on August 3rd.
He will appreciate each investigation
made in an honest effort to ascertain
if he is worthy of the gift he is ask
ing at the hands of the people.

COMMUNICATED.

Some foul-mouth slanderer, who is
out of a job except to lie, started re-
port that w. c. Crook was offered
81 900, to make the race for Trustee
against Mr.. W. W. Rogers and F. M.
Davis Then in order to make it a lie
worth telling, this amount was rails
ed to $4,000. Still, in order to make
this slanderous, willful and malicious
lie more convincing, some convert Of
Annias added that w. c. Crook had a
letter from Col. H, E. Graper offering
said W. c. Crook money to make the
race.
These reports were all hatched
about the time Mr.. Carl w. Edwards
agreed to make the race and started
for the sole purpose to make the cit
liens of the county believe that if w.
C. Crook was offered money to make
the race that c. w. Edwards must
have been hired to enter said race.
Now, while / am in a good humor
and feeling sweet-tempered, want to
say that those who started such re-
ports either did so through ignorance
or deliberately, willfully and malic-
iously lied.
