Moonshine Flowing Like Water In Eastern Part of County, Say Citizens There. Several prominent citizens living in the eastern part of the county have been in town this week complaining of conditions in that section caused by the operation and sale of moonshine. They say that this violation of the law is open and that it is impossible to hold church or any community gathering of any kind. There has been considerable complaint for some time from this section of the county and officers have made several raids there but it seems the stills flourish and law violations continue. It has been proposed that a regular flying squadron of officers spend several weeks in this section in an effort to catch the guilty. This will be about the only way the guilty will be located. Let our officers go to it and clean up that section. No Cars For Several Days This Week. Out of Commission, It Is Said. Somerset's dilapidated street cars were out of commission several days this week and the people experienced quite a little inconvenience in having to walk or pay for taxi hire. The cars are just about on their last pegs and it is said the company is contemplating stopping the service entirely. The City Council last week refused to grant the Utilities Company a 5 cents increase in fare. The company now says that they will not do any repair work on the car tracks and will likely have to stop the operation of the railway. Had the 5 cents increase been granted the company promised to put into service at once two new cars and to spend considerable money on the tracks. Should the cars stop running the business firms in this section of the city will feel the effects at once. It is really a serious matter that faces the city and the business houses. There should be some satisfactory arrangement made whereby the needed improvements could be made. We would like to see the City Council and the Utilities get together and quit all this quarreling. City Attorney Will Bring Suit Against Utilities Co. To Test Franchise Out. City Attorney Tartar has been instructed by the City Council to bring suit immediately against the Kentucky Utilities Co. to see whether or not the franchise is a mere scrap of paper or if provisions can be enforced. The Company has repeatedly refused to do any repair work on their tracks or to furnish adequate car service so the City Attorney says, and he will initiate suit in the Court here to compel them to do certain things. The Company claims that they are not making any money and on their property here and that they cannot afford to do any work, especially as their franchise runs out in four years. The Mayor has ordered the street department to go ahead on the work on College St., and to raise the car tracks and if the company refuses to pay the bill the City Attorney will attach whatever money is due the company for water and light rent. While all this litigation is going on the city will suffer and the people will be inconvenienced. It seems to us if a real effort was made on the behalf of the Utilities Company and the city officials to get together, the whole thing could be settled. If suit is instituted the street railway will discontinue operation of cars and thus the business houses of Somerset made to suffer. Get together, gentlemen, and discuss your troubles. Don't do anything that will further cripple business in Somerset. Sad Death. The entire community was greatly shocked because of the sad and almost sudden death of Mrs. Ina Geneva Baker, which occurred last Thursday morning, April 14, at 1:30 o'clock. Mrs. Baker was a member of the Ferguson Baptist Church. She was a faithful, loyal, prayerful, kind and devoted to the church. Religion with her was a living experience which found expression in loving service. The community is in mourning. The church as lost one of its most Godly members. The funeral services were conducted Friday afternoon at the Baptist Church by Pastor G.C. Sandusky, after which interment took place in city cemetery. Mrs. Baker leaves a husband, Mr. N. Baker, a son, Raymond, and two little daughters, Geneva and Lucile; also her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Haynes, of Covington; two sisters, Miss Lula Haynes of Covington, and Mrs. Nora Leece, of Detroit, Michigan; two brothers, Mr. Willie Haynes, of Ferguson, and Mr. Dave Haynes of Covington. May our loving Father comfort our hearts in these trying hours. Doyle. Mrs. William Doyle died at her home on Murphy Ave. Monday morning after an illness of several months. Funeral services were held at St. Mildred's Church at 9:30 Wednesday morning and interment followed in City Cemetery. Mrs. Doyle was a member of the Catholic Church. She was the wife of William Doyle, who held the position of foreman of the bridge and building department, Southern Railway, for many years. She was loved by all who had the good fortune to know her and will be greatly missed by friends and neighbors. She raised a large and excellent family of whom seven survive, John, James, Gordon, Elizabeth, Josephine Doyle, Mrs. James Austin and Mrs. May Green. Will Announce. Mr. Ben P. Hines who is a candidate for Sheriff, says that he will be compelled to announce in The Journal for he finds so many Republicans in the county who take The Journal and did not even know he was running. He will have a statement next week. Files Papers. Harry Jeffrey and E.P. Buchanan accompanied Johnie Baldwin to Lexington Wednesday where he filed his petition for naturalization. "Johnie" says he wants to be one of Uncle Sam's boys and Buck and Jeffrey saw that he started on the right road. Case Dismissed. Harlan, Ky. - An indictment against Dr. H.C. Winnes former State Veninarian, charged him with the murder of Miss Lura Parsons, Pine Mountain Settlement school teacher, was dismissed in Circuit Court here. Dr. Winnes was tried several months ago, but a jury disagreed, eleven standing for acquittal and one for conviction. Resigns Place. Mayor George B. Cruse has resigned his position with Miller Bros., and it is said that he will have charge of the headquarters of some of the Republican candidates. Mayor Cruse is a hustler and a good mixer and those who secure his services should consider themselves fortunate. Fine Paper. In renewing his subscription Mr. Lloyd Poynter of Colfax, Ill., says: "I love to read The Journal. It is sure a fine paper." Parents Found. It has been learned through the Kentucky Council of Defense that Bud Lawson, whose son was buried in the National Cemetery last week, lives at Bulan, Ky., in Perry County. The body should have been sent to that place for burial but by mistake of the War Department, it was sent here. No trace of the parents could be found here and the body was ordered buried at the National Cemetery. The letter states that Lawson enlisted from Harlan, Ky., and was killed September 29th, 1918, at Bellicort, France. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for extraordinary heroism in action. The local Post American Legion notified Mr. Lawson that his son was buried here. Is Acquitted. Bradley Haynes, charged with the killing of I.N. Young last week, was acquitted in the City Court Tuesday by a (?). His plea was self defense. There were no witnesses to the killing. Haynes and Yong fell out over a fish trap and Haynes says that Young assaulted him and he shot him in self defense. Pace - Detherage. Miss Mary Pace, daughter of Mrs. Jennie Pace, formerly of Indiana, now of Washington, and Mr. Edward C. Detherage, formerly of Kentucky, now living here, were married yesterday morning. The ceremony was performed at 11 o'clock in the home of Mr. Frederick Woodley, at 1319 Harvard St., by Evangelist W.S. Long, in the presence of a small company of relatives. The bride wore a smart traveling suit of dark blue, with a hat to match, and a corsage bouquet of bride roses. Mr. and Mrs. Detherage will be at home after April 15 at 15 A. Street, Northeast. Washington Evening Star. Mr. Detherage lives at Pulaski, this county, and has many friends here. Services Sunday. Rev. Talbot returned from Danville today where he was operated on last week. He will be able to fill his pulpit Sunday morning and announces services for 11 a.m. Mr. E.P. Buchanan went to Danville Thursday to accompany Mr. Talbot home. To The Republican Voters of Pulaski County: Somerset, Ky., April 19th, 1921. Doubtless you already know that I am a Candidate for the Republican Nomination for County Clerk, subject to the Primary Election next August, and in this connection, I desire and now thank all my friends most sincerely for all past support and favors, and I shall never be ungrateful in the future to any and all who may be so kind as to continue their friendship and goodwill. >From past experiences in the office, I feel that I am and will be even better prepared to render the people efficient service in the future than I have been in the past. It is my understanding that reports are being circulated to the effect that, I had pledged myself not to be a candidate for this office again, and I desire my friends and the public to know that all such reports are not sustained by the facts, since at no time I committed myself in this respect, but on the other hand, I feel that it has generally been understood I would be a candidate again this year. The People are further being told, I am informed, that the Office Deputies who have served under me have been paid small and insufficient salaries, and in answer to this charge, I feel sure an examination of the office will show that all these deputies have been paid as liberally as the proceeds of the office would warrant or justify, it being true that many times little was left to me after paying all the expenses of the office. During all the past years I have been in the office, it has been my purpose to render at all times fair and impartial service to all alike, and there has never been a time but that I have constantly kept employed in the office one or more ladies, and at present, I have employed Miss Mary Hail, a very worthy and efficient young lady. Besides a faithful discharge of my official duties, it has also been my aim to be a faithful party servant and how well I have done in this respect, I will leave to my party associates, trusting I may have the privilege of meeting you all between now and the Primary, I beg you to permit me to subscribe myself, Very Truly, Your Friend, C.M. Langdon. Community Church Ground Breaking. Ground will be broken for the new Somerset Community Church on Friday, April, 22nd, at 4 p.m. An interesting program has been arranged for the occasion and a most cordial invitation is extended to everybody in Somerset to attend. F.W. Harrop, Pastor. Hon. J.A. Brown. The Commonwealth last week, in a news note, made mention of the fact that Hon. J. Austin Brown, of Wayne County, would speak for Judge Bethurum in the coming campaign for the Republican nomination for Circuit Judge. This is encouraging news to the friends of Judge Bethurum. There is no speaker in this section of the State that can excel Mr. Brown as a campaigner. He is a natural born orator and an entertainer of rare gift. The people of Somerset will remember the great speech that he made for Judge Bethurum here six years ago, and are looking forward to the time when they will again hear him. Mr. Brown has served as county attorney and member of the Kentucky Legislature from Wayne, and was sent to the last Republican National Convention as a delegate from this district. This honor was conferred upon him by the unanimous consent of the convention at Corbin held for the purpose of electing delegates to the Chicago convention last year. Mr. Brown is to be congratulated upon the position that he has taken in this race. He believes in experience and ability upon the bench. He also believes in electing real Republicans to office. He knows that Judge Bethurum has the experience and ability to fill this important office, and he knows that Bethurum is a Republican that is dependable under any and all circumstances, and is firm in his convictions; that although he is a Republican, that never wavers in his loyalty and devotion to his party, yet he knows no man's politics or his religion when passing upon questions from the bench. Mr. Brown is both a lawyer and farmer, and he knows the value of holding on to the old reliable, trusty work horse in preference to an untried, frisky, fractious new one that would probably cause the loss of a crop. From Commonwealth, April 8, 1921 - Advertisement. Bethurum. The people generally consider the race for Circuit Judge as settled beyond question. Every disinterested and unbiased person that you meet will readily admit that Judge Bethurum will be nominated in the August primary by a record breaking vote. His majority in Pulaski County will be overwhelming and there is no opposition at all to him in Rockcastle. The reports that we are getting from Wayne and Clinton are most encouraging. There is a reason for all this. The people recognize in Judge Bethurum all the qualities of a capable, honest and impartial judge. He has always stood for progress, for law and order, and for the intellectual, moral and social uplift of his county. He is regarded by the bench and bar as one of the strongest judges in the State. As proof of this he was elected President of the Circuit Judge's Association of the State at its annual meeting in December of last year. This honor, coming to him unsought, shows his high standing with his fellow circuit judges of the State. Commonwealth, April 8, 1921, Advertisement. Win Suit In Wayne Circuit Court, Land Case Involving Thousands Decided. Messrs T.V. Ferrell and M.E. Tate won a very important land case in the Wayne Circuit Court last Saturday. The Miller heirs brought suit to regain a 5,000 acre tract of land which Messrs Tate and Ferrell purchased from Mr. Miller several years ago. The amount involved is said to be around $100,000. The heirs in their suit made the claim that Mr. Miller was of unsound mind at the time he sold the property to Messrs Tate and Ferrell and that the price paid for the property was too cheap. Some of the best lawyers in this section of the State were engaged on both sides and the suit was hard fought. It will be carried to the Court of Appeals it is said. Tate and Ferrell have sold considerable of the land and timber and still have several thousand acres left. Local Pastor Honored. The Rev. F.W. Harrop, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, has been selected a delegate to the Ecumenical Conference of Methodists which meets in London, England, next September. This Ecumenical Conference is held every ten years and to be a delegate to this conference is quite an honor upon which the Methodist Episcopal Church of this city and its pastor are to be congratulated. Sales Reported. The Central Motor Co. report of sales of the following cars in the past week: Chevrolet, F.B. Touring to C.W. Porter, Stearns; F.B. Touring to Chas. Lee, Stearns; Chevrolet 490 Touring to Elmer Sheppard, Stearns; and on Oldsmobile 43-A to Mrs. Helen Lane, this city. Hold Meeting. The regular monthly business meeting of the Young Men's Bible Class of the First Methodist Church was held at the home of Mr. Bee Whitis on North Maple St. on last Friday evening. After the business session the members of the class who were present and their wives spent a very enjoyable social hour together. New Homes. It is said that over 200 new homes have been erected in Somerset during the past year and there is still a shortage. There is considerable building going on now. The Gibson Addition has built up until it is now the principal residence section of the city. Rockcastle County. Rockcastle County was formed in 1810 out of parts of Knox, Madison, Lincoln and Pulaski counties. It was the fifty-second in order of formation and was named for the Rockcastle River which formed its southeastern border. Mt. Vernon is the county seat. Campaign Opens. The campaign for Circuit Judge in the 28th Judicial District opened last Monday at Albany. Judge Bethurum and Judge Kennedy, the two aspirants for the office, were present and spoke. Many friends of both candidates from this and adjoining counties were present. Go After Them. The police should arrest a few of the automobile speeders in the city and give them a good stiff fine. This is the only thing that will break it up. Go after the speeders, gentlemen, and you will have the thanks of the citizens. Infant Is Left At Hospital Door. An infant about a day old was left on the porch of the Beard Sanitarium last Friday night. Cries in the night awakened a nurse and she went to the door to investigate when to her surprise there was a baby wrapped snugly in a basket in front of the door. The baby was cared for at the Sanitarium and next day Mr. and Mrs. Otis Waddle asked the Court permission to adopt the child, which was granted. To Burnside. Mr. W.L. Hudson, an enthusiastic Knights of Pythias, made a trip to Burnside this week in the interest of Crescent Lodge No. 60. He made the trip in Chas. Early's car and had a most profitable visit. Extending Line. William Ramsey and other citizens living on the Stanford Pike are having the city water line extended to their places of residence. The extension will cost around $1,000 it is said. Good Meeting. In writing from Meridian, Miss., where he is conducting a meeting, Rev. W.G. Montgomery, pastor of the First Christian Church, says: "Our meeting is going along nicely considering the cold and stormy weather which they say here is the worst for a number of years. I have been really busy making special addresses in addition to the meeting. I spoke last Wednesday to the Y.M.C.A., and on Friday addressed the Rotary Club and also lunched with them. Will address the Commercial Club tomorrow and will lunch with them. We had fine crowds and interest yesterday morning and last night and several additions. I like the Sunny South when it is sunny but when it rains or gets cold, it is the rainiest and coldest place in the world. I am anxious to get back to Somerset for I miss you all so much. I am planning to close here on Thursday or Friday and be home for next Sunday services. "Holy Rollers" Indicated. Shepherdsville, Ky., April 16 - Indictments have been returned against five members of the "Holy Roller" sect following the death of Marie Sutton, five year old daughter of Mrs. Vesta Sutton, who recently died from the effects of burns secured when her dress caught fire from an open grate. It is alleged that after medical attention had been given to the child, the persons indicted induced Mrs. Sutton to submit the patient to them for treatment, caused the bandages to be removed and undertook a substitute mental treatment and prayer for the remedies supplied by a physician. The indictments charge "willful and unmerciful injuring of the child less than 16 years old." The mother is one of those indicted. The others are: Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ayers and Mr. and Mrs. R.E.
