Campaign Has Started In District and County, Will Wax Warm Until August. Although it is three months until the primary the various candidates for district and county offices have begun their campaign. They will keep "to the woods" from now until the election. Circuit Judge B.J. Bethurum opened his campaign in Rockcastle County last Monday before a large crowd. Mrs. J.R. Cook, J.S. Cooper and Wm. Catron made speeches in behalf of Judge Bethurum. The entire afternoon of the first day of Circuit Court was taken up with speech making. Judge Kennedy, who is opposing Judge Bethurum, was present and busy shaking hands with the voters and fixing his fences. He will remain in Mt. Vernon during the week. Judge Walter N. Flippin will likely have no opposition for Commonwealth's Attorney. The Judge is very popular and has made good in the office and no one seems to have the nerve to tackle him. He is busy shaking hands and electioneering just the same as if he had an opponent. The candidates for county offices have begun to appeal to the "dear people" for their votes. This week marked the opening of the campaign and C.I. Ross, Napier Adams and others have been speaking. They say they will be on the stump until August and will cover every hollow in the county. Other candidates who are not oratorically inclined will trail along and do the hand shaking. Judge Tartar says that at the proper time he will be on the stump defending his administration. He intends to hold big rallies in different sections of the county. An event of unusual interest during the past week was the announcement of W. Boyd Morrow, that he would manage the campaign of Judge Kennedy. This has put the politicians to talking and speeded things up a little. The Democrats are watching the fights with a great deal of interest. At the proper time there will be several announcements from this side of the house. Bloodhound For Somerset. Business Men Will Purchase Dog For Protection. The business men of Somerset have subscribed to a fund to purchase a full blooded blood hound for their protection and it will be kept in charge by the Police Department. The dog will be available for use to subscribers without charge, but those who have not subscribed to the fund must pay for the service. There has been considerable robbery going on in the city of late and it seems that the police are unable to find the guilty. It is thought that the dog will act as a preventative for when it becomes known that the city has a blood hound burglars will be afraid to operate. Those who have not subscribed to the fund can do so by seeing Mr. Elbert Wesley, who has the matter in charge. McIntyre. The sad news of the sudden death of Rev. F.T. McIntyre was received here by friends Wednesday afternoon. Rev. McIntyre was formerly pastor of the First Methodist Church here and had many warm friends. He has been pastor in Lexington for the past five years. Several from here will attend the funeral. The Lexington Leader on Thursday had the following about his death: Stricken with heart failure, Rev. F.T. McIntyre, 54 years old, pastor of Epworth Memorial Church, and one of the best known ministers of the Lexington conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, died suddenly at his home, 229 Rand Ave., about 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. The news of his sudden death was a profound shock to his family and members of his congregation and will be heard with deep regret all over Central Kentucky. Mr. McIntyre had been in his usual health, and after eating his dinner went into his room to change his clothes preparatory to making a number of pastoral calls, when he was suddenly seized with dizziness and expired before medical aid could be summoned. Besides his widow, Mrs. Nancy McIntyre, he is survived by one daughter, Miss Katheryne McIntyre, one brother, Robert M. McIntyre, Paris, Ky., and two sisters, Mrs. Charles Myers and Mrs. Laura Hamilton, Covington, Ky. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. Sad Death of Arthur Elliott, Son Of Mr. George Elliott Of This City, Which Occurred Tuesday Morning. As the result of a fall from a tree on last Friday afternoon, Arthur Elliott, 13 years of age, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Elliott, died at the Somerset Sanitarium Tuesday morning at 3:30. Funeral services were conducted at the Baptist Church, of which he was a member, Thursday afternoon at three o'clock. Interment followed in the City Cemetery. The accident which caused the death of the young man happened about 6:30 o'clock on last Friday afternoon at the home. He was playing with some of his neighbors. He climbed a tree and got out on a weak limb, which gave way with him, falling twenty feet and landing on a picket fence. One of the palings entered his side and broke three ribs and pierced the lung. He was taken immediately to the Somerset Sanitarium, where medical attention was immediately given and it was thought for awhile that he would recover. Arthur was a student in the Somerset schools and was in the sixth grade. He was a bright gentlemanly young fellow and was extremely popular with his playmates. The parents, three sisters, one half sister and one half brother have the deepest sympathy of the entire city in the loss of this dear one. Sherman. Mr. Ed Sherman, well known in Somerset, died at his home in Cincinnati last Saturday, as the result of a railroad accident. Mr. Sherman was yard master at Ludlow and was hit by a train as he attempted to cross the track. This will be sad news to his many friends in Somerset. Mr. Sherman was a man liked by every one who knew him and probably had as many friends as any railroad man on the Southern System. He always liked to visit Somerset and mingle with old acquaintances. S.S. Day In Somerset Saw Nearly Three Thousand In Sunday Schools of City. Go to Sunday School Day, Sunday, May 1st, was a great success, there being about three thousand in attendance at the various schools, according to the report of Wm. B. Gragg, President of the Pulaski County Sunday School Association. There was not the rivalry between the Sunday Schools as in former years but each school had a committee appointed to work during the week and urge every one to attend some Sunday School. The following is the report of each Sunday School in the city: First Methodist, 585; First Christian, 580; First Baptist, 573; Methodist Episcopal, 312; High Street Baptist, 234; First Presbyterian, 120; Langdon Street Union, 60; High Street M.E., 52; Church of God, 75; Colored Baptist, 279; Colored Methodist, 130; total attendance, 2,970. Mother's Day. Next Sunday is Mothers Day and it should be universally observed, if your mother is living wear a red rose and if she is dead wear a white one. Cumberland To Be Harnessed At Last. Will Furnish Power For This Section Of The State. The McCreary County Record of the 28th of April said: One of the largest projects ever attempted in this State is now taking definite shape in an effort to harness the Cumberland River between Williamsburg and Burnside, to furnish light and commercial power to southeastern Kentucky. J.S. Wallace, representing West Virginia capital, Chas. Gunter, of Philadelphia, and E.L. Stephens of Williamsburg are the incorporators, and Mr. Wallace has been to Knoxville making preliminary arrangements and placing the required legal advertising necessary in asking the Federal Power Commission at Washington to build a dam across the river. The plant will cost more than three million dollars. Some of the equipment has already been purchased and actual work will be started when permission is granted by the Commission. In addition to supplying power, heat and light for all towns within a radius of 50 miles of Somerset, it is said that power can also be furnished for Lexington and Louisville. Three dams will be placed in the river, one at Smith Shoals, one at the Falls, and the other at Burnside. The back water is estimated to cover 40,000 acres, and no doubt a railroad will be built to connect with the Southern at some point for the transporting of supplies, etc. This will open up a hitherto closed section of the country and boon all property in McCreary, Pulaski and Wayne. Car Service Is Crippled With Only One Car In Operation Most of Time. Business houses are beginning to feel the effects of the inadequate street car service. During the past week, only one car has been in operation most of the time and the schedule is so uncertain that those who use the cars have been greatly inconvenienced. Several merchants told a Journal reporter this week that their business had suffered on account of the car service and that they were more in favor of a ten cent fare now than ever before. They point out that new street cars in operation and a more convenient schedule would help every business house in Somerset. It is just a question of time until the present cars will be out of commission entirely. "Toonerville Trolly" has nothing on the street railway system in Somerset now. The car in operation is minus several windows and is in a most dilapidated condition. If the City Council can make the Utilities company buy new street cars and make other improvements we say go to it, but when the matter is taken to court it will mean a delay of months and the same service. The wiser course would be to allow a 10 cents fare and get the improvements at once. Local parties who are desirous of purchasing the car line want to extend it to the shops and then on to Pitman Creek where they will build an amusement park. The line should by all means be extended to the shops. We are of the opinion that if Mr. Herrington or some representative of the Utilities company will come to Somerset and meet a committee of the Council and citizens that the whole matter might be worked out. In Memory. Mrs. Cynthia Ann Ashley passed to her eternal rest April 24, 1921, at the age of 76 years and 5 months, after being confined to her bed for over five years with continued suffering with a complication of diseases which she endured with patience. "Aunt" Cynthia was loved and respected by all who knew her, for she was so good and kind to all and was a faithful member of the M.E. Church. She leaves to mourn their loss two sons, Benton Maxey of Danville, and Joe Maxey, of Lockland, Ohio, who were present to attend the funeral; also two brothers, D.F. Ashley, with whom she made her home, and C.L. Ashley, of Kewanee, Ill., and two sisters, Mrs. Robert Girdler, of Hustonville, and Mrs. Mack Hines, of this place. Both were at her bedside when death came. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. J.M. Shadoan at Pleasant Hill church, and the body was laid to rest in the Vaught grave yard in the midst of a large crowd of sorrowing friends. Mrs. Telitha Adams. Cavalry Troop.
