Aug. 9th 1922

DR.. r. L. Teiford,
Richmond, Ky.
My Dear Mr.. Telford:
| desire publicly to acknow-
ledge receipt of your letter of
the Sth, inst, enclosing a contri-
button to assist in the erection
of splendid structure in Rich
mond to the memory OF Miss
Relle H. Bennett.
At the time Of her death, she
was the most distinguished per-
son in Madison county. Distin-
guished because she gave her life
since young Womanhood to the
Masters cause. 1t is unusual in
this age of the worlds history
to build memorials TO those de
dicated religiously, as did she,
their life to all peoples, on this,
and every continent, irrespective
OF race or condition. Rather do
we erect memorials to those less
worthy, because the works they
wrought were in many instances
mercenary.
| agree with you, that she was
too big a personality, to be alb
sorbed by one denomination, she
belongs to us all, irrespective OF
creed or race.
| am grateful to receive your
notwithstanding as it does
from one of different denomi-
nation, who knew her purity of
heart, effort and character, dur
ing her long and useful years of
service.
l am doubly grateful, because
it is the first contribution receiv-
ed, and gives me the opportunity
to say to the many who have ex-
pressed themselves as anxious to
contribute, and to the public gen
orally something OF our plans.
We have in contemplation the
erection of magnificent church,
On a suitable lot, estimated to
cost not. less than $1O0,00O.OO, of
which sum the local church will
contribute S25,00OO0 We shall
not commence to build until
100000 of this sum shall have
been raised.
In this connection we desire to
ask that no money be sent loose
in the mails; that each elontfi-
button be made by check or
money order, payable to r. M,
Rowland, treasurer, accompanied
by remittance letter and ad-
dressed to the undersigned.
It is our purpose to carefully

MObERIY HOME
DESTROYED BY FRI:

The residence Of S. Neville Mob
eriy, about two and naif miles
from Richmond on the Lexington
p ke, was destroyed by fire at
9;30 o'clock Tuesday morning.
The bui ding was two-story
frame one and owned by J. J.
Neale, Of the city. 1t was built
by his father and valued at about
$1,000, although it probably coul1
not be replaced now for $4,000
Mr.. Neale is understood to have
had 81, 800 insurance OH the dwell
ing. The house contained some
very valuable old furniture own
ed by Mr.. Moberiy, all of which
on the first floor was saved. Sev-
eral very valuable suites were
lost on the second floor but were
covered by insurance. All clothing
on the second floor was also lost.
The crew working on the Lex
ington road rushed to the house
when they saw the flames and
helped greatly ir the rescue work.
While this was going on Mrs.
Moberly and her maid picked up
heavy pieces of furniture that or
dinarily took as many as five men
to move and carried them to
places of safety.
The fire is believed 10 have or
iginated from defective fue.
Mrs. Moberly was burning paper
in small stove when the flames
broke out. This is thought to-
have started the blaze. The fam
es were seen from several of the
high points in Richmond.

KENTUCKY GAINS IN
EDUCATIONAL WORK
CoIvin Tells Normal Summer
School Students, In Stressing
Main Points in Address

! The students OF Eastern Nor
NAL had the pleasure of hearing
State Superintendent Of Public
instruction George Colvin, at the
chapel hour Wednesday morning.
Supt. Colvin spoke for almost an
hour upon subjects close to the
schools of Kentucky and espec-
tally those which the present stu
dent body will teach next year.
In his address he dwelt mostly
upon three main topics. The first
was the report of the conditions
Of the summer schools scattered
over the state. He pointed out
that there are about 5000 teach
ers in these schools. He also
pointed out that in a recent sur
vey by the General Educational
Board OF Indiana and Kentucky,
it was shown that Kentucky is
not behind Indiana in education.
A very marked advance has been
shown by this state in the past
few years.
In his second point he told the
teachers that their duties not
molly include instruction OF the
pupils from books but other
things. lie stated that educa-
cation is the only solution Tor vi
tai problems that are facing thi,
nation today such as the question
OF labor and capital. Many other
of the veXing problems Of today
can be more easily and quickly
solved if more attention is paid
to education. He showed the fu-
ture teachers what a service thcv
can do both their state and ma
ton.
In his third point he showed
that popular education in the
schools Of the United States is
the only sure way Of having ideal
citizenship. This education, he
said, IS in the hands Of the teach
ers. They can make the goverl'
ment so strong that it can with
stand all attacks and SO Just that
there will be no question as to
any of its decisions. All togeth-
er Superintendent Colvin's ad-
dress was we'll received, eloquent
and very convincing.
President Coates received a tel
cgram from Credo Harris. who IS
in charge of the Courier Journaf
radio sending station in Louis
vile, saying that he will leave
Louisville after the concert We'd
nesday night so that he NAV be
here about e;ght o'clock Thurs
day morning and be with the stu
dents at Eastern for an hour, as
he will have to leave for LouiS-
there at nine o'clock So that he
may be there in time for the
sending of the concert Thursday
evening. He will speak in the
chapel, 1t is thought. Mr.. Harris
brings a man with him who will
stay over and give a demonstra-
ton at the Normal Thursday
night. Further announcements
are to be made as to The time. The
people Of Richmond are invited

From DIR. Telford
Aug. 9Th, 1922
Mr.. c. c. Wallace,
Richmond, Ky
Dear Mr.. Wallace:
| am glad to see that your
church has inflated movement
for building in Richmond a new
church structure in memory of
Miss Belle II. Bennett. 1t is "a
noble tribute to a great and no.
bic life, and | esteem it a great
privilege to participate, even
though it be in a small way, in
helping to rear such a structure.
| wish | could make the enclosed
contribution many times larger,
but the needed funds will come.
for you have a wide range of ap-
peal.
For Miss Benefits great min
istry of service was not confined
merely to her own church. She
was too big personality to be
absorbed by merely one denom-
nation She belonged to all de
nominations and to all peoples,
both white and colored. "Mul-
titudes rise up to call her bles-
sed," and multitudes will claim
the privilege of helping to per-
petuate in this fitting way the
of her noble life.
If | can by voice or pen aid
YOU in this most praise-worthy
cause, please let me serve.
Very Truly Yours.
r. L. TELFORD.

MAKE 1T UNANIMOUS

Il is to be hoped that the vote for the change
in the amendment to the States Constitution
to allow Us to get our share of the Federal ap-
preparation will be unanimous, and that a big
vote in the county VIII be cast for it.
There has been some opposition due 10 a ms
understanding and misrepresentation, but as far
az we can learn this has been dissipated. Mr..
Gus Cunningham, who is generally very v~ociial-
Gus in his objections, has "seeu a light and
changed his mind, and Mr.. PoindeXter threaten
ed several times to write an article for the Beacon
stating his position and objections to the change
but he did not write, and we hope that l1 too,

The Board Of Supervisors were inclined to be
luke-Warm in their attitude, but after Mr.. Rob
bins talk they are hoping strong that the amend
mant will pass.
Only one-seventh of the roads in the county
will be affected, and M. Robbins stated that
ne would recommend that the Macon and Louis
Vile road be taken over by the State Highway
department for maintenance, and all the money
that is now being spent on that road by districts
3 and / can be diverted to other roads in the
county. Likewise money for maintenance that

Nh. Jackson Tells of His
Success in Poisoning Boil Weepit

Editor of the Beacon
Feeling sure that a few facts with
reference to using calseum arsenate
in controlling the de%predations of the
boil weevll on my cotton crop this
year would be of interest to my neigh
bors and the cotton farmers OF the
county generally, am pleased to give
my experience in using the poison,
and the exact result obtained.
Finding my cotton pretty thorough
" infested with the boil weevil early
in July, | decided that unless | could
stop or control their ravageG | would
make no cotton. | at once got busy,
ordered my poison on the 18th day of
July. | commenced to dust my cotton
with the poison, using from 6 lbs to
10 lbs per acre. This was applied in
the early morning, while the cotton
leaves were wet with dew, usually
commencing about 3 a. m, and CON
liruing until 8 a. m. | continued this
operation daily, until | had poisoned
every cut from 3 to 4 times, repeating
the dose every eight days, on until
August 10th, when it appeared that
my cotton had done its do, and
decided | had my crop, ana no other
poisoning was necessary, or could ado
any thing more to its yield.
| had in cotton, thirty-five acres of
good post oak land, and have gather
ed and ginned 81 bales of cotton from
this So acres of land. the bales aver
aging 500 lbs per bale.
| am sure that my fight on the
weevil doubled my crop and gave mt
quite a handsome profit on the invest
ment.
The cost per acre for the poison
and five hand busters was about S.
or the entire cost for the 80 acres was
s17l. feel sure that with the cot.
ton and seed Il made a net profit of
around $500.
II there is any detailed information
that my ncighbors, or the cottor
farmers Of the County would like t
have. that | have failed to give, | will.
be glad to give it. or aid them in any
way | can in a way | can in a fight
against this peStiferouS pest. for
feel sure, that with personal atten.
ton. intelligently directed, the cot
ton farmers of the county car still
grow cotton at a profit. by following
the methods | have pursued.
have given this detailed informa.
ton at the request of some of my
friends, and trust that it will be o.
h%erefit to tho discouraged and dis.
Neartened cotton growers of Noxu
