.FEUD BREAKS OUT
IN CLAY co. AGAIN

London, Ky, May 13-News
was received here Friday from
Clay county of another outbreak
in the Benge-Martin- hilpot
feod lear Petersburg few
nights ago.
A party of armed men, said to
be members of the Benge fac
ton, went to the home of Dan
Martin, one of the Martin-Phil-
pot leaders, and fired several vol
leys Of shots into the house, re-
ports say. One of Martins chill
dren was shot through the hand
and another child was slightly
wounded. Many bullets passed
through the walls of the house
or lodged in the furniture.
Martin is said to have recog-
nized several Of the attacking
party as old enemies whom the
officers failed to get in the re-
cent cleanup in Clay county
when all but a few of the feud-
lists on both sides were called in
to circuit court at Manchester
by Judge Johnson and placed n
jail or under heavy peace bonds.
This is the only trouble that has
occurred in the feud region since
the leaders shook hands in Judge
Johnson's court and pledged to
lay down their arms and turn
over their moonshne stills to the
officers.
Search is now being made in
Clay and adjoining counties for
the men charged with shooting
into Martins home.

EVERY VOTER IN
STATE To REGISTER
New Law Designed To Eliminate
Fraud Requires Registration
of Voters In July

On July 10 and II every quail
flied voter in the state of Ken
lucky, male and female, will be
| required to register if they eN-
pect to vote in the regular cleo
tion In November next. There
will be another day for the reg
istration of such persons as were
unable for one reason or anoth-
er, to perform this duty on the
regular days set apart for that
purpose. This registration will
suffice for all time for those reg
istering and it will not be neces-
sary again to register SO long as
the qualified voter remains in
that precinct.
Registration of qualified vot-
crs applies to those of the city
and county precincts. Without
registration it will be impossible
to take part in the election in
November or any primaries pre-
ceding or following. Three days
are fixed for the registration this
year, the third being set for 90
days just preceding the Novem-
Der election. In years following
there will be one registration, on
the second Monday in July Of
each year. This is for those who.
may have reached their majority
or who may have moved from
one precinct to another, or into
the state and become qualified
voters.
1t is estimated by the county
officials that the registration will
cost the county $500 the first
year and about half that amount
each succeeding year. 1t is be-
lieved by politicians that it will
obviate much irregularity in vot-
ing and that dishonest elections
will pc thing of the past. The
law was passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature.
Officers for the registration
shall be appointed in June by the
election commissioners and shall
be the same as heretofore, Judge
from each of the two dominant
parties, a sheriff from one and a!
clerk from the other. Qualified
citizens must be named by the
committee of each party Oh June
Is in writing and certified to the
election commissioner for the
purpose of choosing the officers.
Little change is made in the
law, except the permanency of
the registration. Citizens who
have lived in the state one year,
the county six months and the
district sixty days are eligible to
vote and Of coure for registra~
ton. A record OF the vote Of ev-
cry citizen shall be kept by the
polling officers, a place being set
aside on the permanent registra-
ton book to indicate each time
voter exercises his franchise.

To the Mayor of Richmond:
Pursuant to your request that
the undersigned constitute
committee from the people at
large to meet with the Finance
Committee of the city council il
conference with the Board OF
Education and go over with them
their proposed budget for the
year 1929 with the object OF
trying to bring about reduction
so that an exceSsi--- rden OF
taxes may not be .et.1d against
the citizens of Richmond, we ac-
cordingly held this meeting in the
office of the Chairman OF the
Board of Education Wednesday
evening, May 10th.
A very thorough discussion Of
the whole matter was held, each
item on the budget being taken
up and considered separately. The
Board of Education has by law.
it appeared, sovereign power to
incur any liability that does not
exceed an amount of $1.50 per
$100 of the total assessed valua-
ton for taxation purposes Of ali
property in Richmond, and as
their budget does not exceed this
amount, the assessed valuation
being approximately $4.200000
they apparently are within their
legal right to demand the city
council levy the rate they ask for
A close examination of the bud
get showed a reduction of some
$3,400 could well be made in the
operating expenses, and if the
item of furnishing, which they
put at $12,000-the merit of
which we are not in position to
pass on-is paid for in three year
ly installments, as can no doubt
be done, this would make fur
ther reduction in the current bud
get of some $1,000 total of SILL
400, bringing their total budget
down to $50,800, thus permitting
a levy of $125 instead of the
S1.35 as requested.
In the matter of letting the con
tract for the new building, as per
the plans they adopted, the Board
expended all of their available
funds on this without taking into
consideration, apparently, the
items of furnishing the building
or the improvements in the color
ed school, although the negroes
)were promised their improve

Dear SIR
l am herewith enclosing YOU
copy of letter that | have just
written the County Judge OF
Jackson county and copy that
have written to w. r. Reynolds
county agent, at Tyncr, Ky.
At the conference on yester-
day with your delegation and the
State Highway Commission, it
was voted to accept Jackson coun
tvs bond issue of $125,O00 on the
State project No. 80. from the
foot of Big Hill to Mckee pro-
vided Madison county would by
some means, furnish half the cost
of building the road up Big Hill
or along the Scaffold Cane ridge
to meet with Jackson county at
the Jackson county line-that is,
the Commission in accepting the
proposition accepts it in its en-
tirety and not from each county
individually.
Before this matter is fully con-
cluded, so that each county may
understand just what it has to- do,
| believe it would be best to have
a joint meeting of all interested
parties either at Richmond or
Berea so that | can be present
and go over the entire matter in
detail. Prior to such a meeting,
however, / would like to settle
definitely just which route it is
best to take in Madison county,
up Big Hill or along the Scaffold
Cane ridge. Please advise me
when such meeting would be
agreeable to all parties concern
ed so that, if possible, [ can ar
range to be present.
With kindest regards, yours
very truly, JOE S. BOGGS,
State Highway Engineer.
