Moonshine Found Buried In Field Near Town. Officers Make Big Haul. Several gallons of moonshine was found by officers last week buried at different places in a field close to the city. It was buried in quart and half gallon jars. Officers were notified that several persons were seen digging in the field late at night and they decided to go and investigate. Wherever they found the ground dug up and sodded underneath was from a quart to a half gallon. It is said that this has been a hiding place for bootleggers for some time. Moonshine was found in a house nearby and an arrest made. Officers think they have several other hiding places located and results are likely to follow soon. W.V. Stamp Who Says He Formerly Lived In Somerset, Is Charged With Murder. Mr. Walter V. Stamp, of Louisville, who says that he once lived in Somerset and is a member of Somerset I.O.O.F. lodge, is charged with a cold blooded murder in Louisville. He is now in jail awaiting trial. Mr. Stamp is charged with killing W. Smith Russell and with wounding Mrs. Russell. He is said to have driven a car up to the car of Russell and opened fire. The shooting took place in the main business district of Louisville last week. Stamp fled and it was several days before is whereabouts was known. He finally surrendered to the police and denied the shooting. In a statement given out in the jail Stamp said that he was a former resident of Somerset and was a friend of Governor Morrow and felt sure that the Governor would pardon him if he was convicted. Dies at 86. Captain Geo. W. Stephens, age 86, the first president and organizer of the Gainesboro Telephone Co., died at this home at Gainesboro, Tenn., on June 4th. He had been president for 25 yeas. Captain Stephens constructed the first telephone line in his section by running a wire from his residence to Gainesboro. All Gainesboro offices ceased operation for five minutes on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the time Captain Stephens was buried. Dedication. Quite a large crowd attended the dedication at the Bethlehem Baptist Church, near Naomi, on last Sunday afternoon. Sufficient money was raised to lift the entire debt from the church. The following ministers were present: Rubin Roberts, Mill Springs; Pastor C.F. Breeding, C.C. Trimble, Frank Beasley, J.M.P. Floy, F.G. Merich, and J.E. Hudson. Rev. Beasley was in charge of the ceremonies. Other speakers were Chas. F. Breeding, Frank Beasley and J.M. Hudson. A sumptuous dinner was served on the grounds. There was splendid order and everyone present thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. Many people from Somerset attended. Four Days Debate. We are informed that a four days debate between J.L. Davis and H. Boyce Taylor will take place in Somerset beginning June 28th. Location will be announced later but it is likely the Opera House will be obtained. We know of no good that can come from such a debate but doubtless through curiosity many will attend. Good Team. Several Democrats have been in The Journal office this week and say that there is a demand in their section for Mose Singleton and Jack Edwards to run for Jailer and Sheriff. These are two mighty good men and we believe could win. It is likely they will run. To Europe. News has been received here that Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Scholes, who have been in Bloomington, Ill., the past year, will leave in August for Constantinople where Mr. Scholes will have a chair in the Roberts College. Not Deputy. Sheriff John M. Weddle states that we were in error last week when we stated that Tom Pitman was a deputy sheriff. Mr. Weddle says that he does not belong to his force. Mr. Pitman has been rather active in helping the officers break up stills in the county. Buys Ford. Mr. Hardin Sweeney was down from Science Hill this week after his new Ford touring, which he purchased from A.J. Crawford, the Ford agent. He had all accessories put on it including starter and demountable rims. Ches Davis Show. Ches Davis and his troup have been holding forth this week under tent on the corner of Mt. Vernon and Central Ave. The people here always patronize Ches' show because he gives them their money's worth. Ches is good for the blues himself and does a black face act that always pleases. On Thursday night he will introduce a home boy to the audience in a minstrel part and Ches says if he makes good he is going to take him on the road. Everyone knows "Wooden" Sears, and of course, will want to see him. On Friday night the feature production of the week will be given. This will be the revised version of Mrs. Jiggs. Saturday night will close the week's entertainment. If you haven't been - go. You will have a good time. Miss Kennis late of New York, has just joined the show as leading lady and received quite an ovation. She is real clever and a most pleasing actress. A Converted Jew. Rev. Joseph Cohn, a converted Jew, will preach at the First Methodist Church on next Sunday morning. Everybody invited. Mr. Cohn was being educated in one of the leading Jewish universities of America to be a Jewish Rabbi, but having accepted Christ he is now preparing himself in Columbia Univ. to preach the Gospel of Jesus. He is a brilliant speaker. Do not fail to hear him. He will also address the Young Men's Bible Class of this church at 9:45. All young men of Somerset should hear this consecrated young Jew. Dies In West. Dr. H.S. Doolin received a telegram Monday telling of the sudden death of his sister, Mrs. Belle A. Bobbitt, of Hastings, Mont. Mrs. Bobbitt was born in this county and moved to the west when she was a young girl. This is the first death of any of the brothers and sisters of Dr. Doolin and is quite a shock to him. Mrs. Bobbitt will be buried in Hastings. She was about 65 years of age. Candidates And How They Stand On Whiskey Question. Woman Writes Letter. Somerset Journal: If I can see my thoughts in print, I will know lots of other people will find out what is on my mind. I think surely I am the happiest woman in the county because the revenue officers are bringing in so many moonshiners and breaking up stills. I hope they will get every one, from the youngest to the oldest. Let our county be a heavenly place to live in. The worst enemy the whiskey drinker has on earth is the man who sells him or gives him a drink. The one who makes whiskey and the one who sells it is the worst enemy to civilization. People tell me it is dangerous to go to the stores in West Somerset. Nearly every day here, it is no secret, candidates and officers pass through, some live here, and know of these tings, but they say it is not their place to stop the selling and drinking here in this neighborhood. I am not saying this to one or a few, but to everyone, if I could find a candidate that would come out manfully and bold and say that they will fight his business and will punish the guilty to the limit of the law and not only that but practice what they preach, I will do all I can to have him elected. Some have told me that we have no officers but I know we have for they still draw their salaries. It is said some of them want to drink it all themselves and then I hear that they are afraid to do anything until after the 6th of August. I say if they are scared to stop the whiskey selling and drinking now, I hope they will get scared so bad that they will run clear out of the race. They are taking a big risk in letting this traffic go on for some of their friends might get killed and then they would fall short some votes. I talked to one candidate and he told me he was against whiskey. I asked him if he would do all he could to have it out and he has never answered me yet. Wine is a mocker. How it stands aright and shows the color of the rose that surely grows on the drunkard's nose. We need men with a pure heart and clean hands, who will stand apart from political rank. I want to give a rose if anybody knows the person that has tried to stop the booze and gambling shop. Martha J. Rainwater. Lost Chickens. Many people are reporting the loss of chickens by rats. Mr. King, who lives on College St., lost 75 last week and he says that he has been unable to find a poison that will destroy the pesky things. Other people have also reported heavy losses. Rats destroy thousands of dollars worth of property every year and do considerable other damage. Kammer Here. Max Kammer, who for several years conducted a shoe store in Somerset, has returned to the city and will open up a first class Ladies and Gents Shoe Store about July 15th. Mr. Kammer has rented the store room formerly occupied by E.H. Kahn. Strayed. Bay mare. If found return to Jewel Simpson and receive reward. Phone 214. Kentucky Observing Birth Statue. The State Is Rapidly Learning Why It Was Passed. Louisville, June 4 - "The physician who at first was indifferent to the law requiring births to be registered in Kentucky long since has learned that it is a public advertisement of gross carelessness to fail to report a birth and now every doctor knows that he has not rendered the full service to mother and babe until he has provided a proper and complete birth certificate." The statement was made by J.F. Hackerby (?), State Registrar of Vital Statistics, in a report to Dr. A.T. McCormack, State Health Officer, on the work that is being done by the State Board of Health Bureau of Vital Statistics. Upon the enactment of this law ten years ago, citizens of Kentucky, the report also declares, "registered the births of their babies because they feared the penalty for failure to do so. Today they do this not only because they appreciate the advantages of such registration, but also because it shows a lack of pride and is a discredit in a parent not to do so. Perhaps nothing has demonstrated the value of birth registration so conclusively as the late war. Every returned soldier who was a father and had a compensation farm has been required to furnish a birth certificate for proof to the Government of dependents. The requests for certified copies of certificates have more than doubled in the last two years." Hospital Notes. Willie Lester returned to his home at Science Hill Saturday. Mrs. E.C.
