Enthusiastic Meeting Of Citizens Held At The Court House Last Friday Night. An enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of Somerset was held at the Courthouse last Friday night at which time several important matters of interest to our people were discussed. The meeting was called for the County Court room but on account of the large crowd present it was necessary to adjourn to the Circuit Court room. Hon R.B. Waddle, director from Pulaski County in the Cincinnati Lookout Mountain Airline Division of the Dixie Highway Association, addressed the gathering and made a report of his trip to Cincinnati to attend the meeting of the Dixie Highway Association. Mr. Waddle in a very thorough and convincing manner told of the great opportunity we have to secure a national highway which will lead from Cincinnati to Chattanooga through Somerset. While at this time the Association would not officially designate the route from Cincinnati to Chattanooga as a part of the Dixie Highway, they told Mr. Waddle to go home and get busy with an organization, perfect plans and be ready to make a report at the next meeting of the Association. The counties along the proposed route held a meeting and decided to get busy at once and organize each community. It was decided to assess each county $500.00 to provide a fund for organization work and to continue the fight for an Airline road from the north to the south. The representatives of each county present guaranteed their assessment would be issued. Following Mr. Waddle's talk it was decided to organize the Pulaski County Dixie Highway Association. R.E. Hill was elected President, Norman I. Taylor, Vice President, and Cecil Williams, Secretary and Treasurer. The following directors were elected: O.G. Petersen, R.G. Richardson, M.E. Tate, T.L. McLaughlin, Marion Warren and T.L. Gamblin. Fifty members were enrolled following the organization. It was decided to make the dues $5.00 a year. A finance committee composed of R.G. Williams, Chairman, O.L. Conyers, H.K. Fulkerson, Ed Moore, and W.H. Ramsey, was appointed to secure additional members. It is desired to secure at last 200 members in order to have sufficient funds to carry on the work of organization. An enthusiastic meeting was held at Burnside Monday night. It was presided over by Norman I. Taylor, vice president, who is an enthusiastic advocate of the proposed highway. Messrs R.E. Hill, Ed Moore, W.H. Ramsey, R.J., McDaniels, T.E. Horrell, R.B. Waddle, R.G. Richardson and Cecil Williams made the trip. MR. Waddle briefly outlined the plans of the organization and told what the purpose of the meeting was. Supt. R.E. Hill also made a talk. Following the talks, Mr. Taylor asked if there were any present who desired to join the association. Fifteen subscribed for memberships. A committee was appointed to continue the campaign in Burnside. The members of the committee from Somerset were entertained at the Seven Gables Hotel by the citizens of Burnside. President Hendrick, of the Inter-State Association, says this road is going to be built and that he hopes to see actual construction start by next year. He is a live wire and we believe he will put the project over. Pulaski wants to do her part. If you have not joined the association see any member of the finance committee and give them your name. After the good roads matter had been disposed of a letter was read from the railroad men of Danville in which they asked what inducements the people of Somerset had to offer to have the railroad terminal moved from Danville to Somerset. A committee was appointed to draw up resolutions, and present to the meeting for approval. After some deliberation, the committee reported and the resolutions with a few changes, were adopted. The gathering pledge to the railroad men that rents, food, clothing, and other commodities would not be raised should the terminal move here and invited a comparison of prices now. They also pledge to cooperate in every way with the men in security desirable homes and to assist in every way possible to make them contented. Owing to the late hour the hotel proposition was not discussed, but several subscribed for stock. John Bash Shot In The Arm When Attempting To Arrest Tom Hargis at Danville, Kentucky. The many friends of Mr. John Bash will be glad to know that the gunshot would he received while attempting to arrest Tom Hargis at Danville, Friday, is not serious and that he is getting along nicely. The following is an account of the shooting from the Danville Messenger: Deputy United States Marshall J.E. Bash was shot yesterday afternoon by Thomas Hargis on Dillebay St. The officers were called to the Hargis home. It was claimed that he was raising a disturbance. Marshal Bash asked him to surrender, and Hargis answered with a shot which struck Bash in the left breast. He was not very dangerously injured. Officers Critchfield Coffey, Alford and Wallin were also present and a fusillade of shots were fired into the house and Hargis came out with hands up and surrendered. He was lodged in jail. At his examining trial this morning he was held to await the action of the grand jury under a five thousand dollar bond. Mr. Bash had a narrow escape from death and showed great gameness in staying in the fight until the man was captured. He was then rushed to the local hospital and given surgical attention. It was found that the bullet had struck his badge and this coupled with the fact that he had slightly dodged, in all probability saved his life. The bullet was slightly deflected and entered his left shoulder lodging in his arm. The bullet was cut in two pieces and a piece of badge was driven into the flesh of his arm. An x-ray examination of the wound was taken this morning and showed the two pieces of the bullet in his arm. Tom Hargis is said to be a nephew of Judge James Hargis, who was widely known in the feud days in Breathitt County and came to Danville from Jackson some time ago. Bethurum Slated For Legal Position In The Law Enforcement Of The State. Judge B.J. Bethurum returned last Friday from a trip west on business and made no statement as to whether or not he would accept the position rendered him as legal advisor to the State Prohibition Enforcement Officer. He is now in Wayne County holding court. It is known that Judge Bethurum has several flattering offers to form as partnerships and it is likely he will take his time about making up his mind as to where he will locate. The Lexington Leader carried the following story Sunday: "Judge B.J. Bethurum, who was defeated for re-nomination for circuit judge of the 28th Judicial District by Judge H.C. Kennedy, has been offered the appointment of legal advisor to John Collins, State Prohibition Director, according to a report current in Lexington, Saturday. Director Collins was in Louisville on business and no statement could be obtained from him regarding the report. Judge Bethurum is credited with having the offer under consideration. If appointed, he will maintain headquarters in Louisville. He is now on a trip to Ponca City, Okla., where he also has under advisement the formation of a law partnership. He will be in Oklahoma for several more days and pending his return it is not known whether he will accept the appointment. Judge Bethurum after emerging from the recent campaign, expressed himself as averse to taking any further activities in politics, it is said, and it is believed if he finds the prospective law alignment to measure up to his desires, he will decline the appointment and locate in the west, when his time expires in January." Buried At Lexington. The Lexington Leader had the following about George Washington Jr., son of Mr. George Washington, of this city: The body of George Washington, Jr., left New York Thursday morning at 10:15 o'clock and will arrive here Friday or Saturday. Notice of the time of arrival and place of funeral will be made known later. Washington was 21 years old and was killed in the battle of Champlain, Argonne Forest. He enlisted at Dayton, Ohio, at the age of 18, in June, 1915. He went from Dayton to Port Royal, S.C., where he was made sharp shooter of his company; from Port Royal he went to Philadelphia where he was promoted to corporal. From Philadelphia he went to Indian Head, Md., as a bayonet instructor and left there in August, 1918 for France, arrived at Brest Sept. 3. He is survived by his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. George T. Washington, formerly of Lexington, four brothers, Robert C., Harold M., Forest L., and Charles M. Washington, two sisters, Misses Martha and Adelia Washington, all of Somerset. Waddle Elected. Attorney Ben L. Waddle has bee selected as Republican Campaign Chairman to conduct the campaign in Pulaski County this fall. Mr. Gladstone Wesley was chosen Secretary. Mr. Waddle is chairman of the County Executive Committee and was given his seat by the Republican State Committee after a fight which was very bitter. He is a brother-in-law to Governor Morrow. He was very active in the recent Republican primary between Judge Kennedy and Judge Bethurum, being a supporter of Judge Kennedy. Capture Still. Sheriff Weddle and Policeman West captured a still on a farm between the Stanford and Crab Orchard Road last Saturday afternoon. The outfit consisted of zinc tubs and a large copper worm and was in operation when the officers arrived. Two men were seen leaving the place and the officers fired at them but they made their escape. Card of Thanks. We wish to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks to our relatives, friends and neighbors for the kindness and sympathy extended to us in the great loss of our darling baby. We wish also to thank Fr. Fallon, the Somerset Undertaking Co., and the donors of the beautiful floral offerings. Mr. and Mrs. King Grinstead, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lindle, Mrs. Carrie Grinstead. For Councilman. Mr. Frank Y. Pumphrey, a member of the Council from the Second Ward, has announced his intentions of making the race for re-election. He is opposed by John fish and W.W. Converse. Mr. Pumphrey did not decide to get into the race until urged to do so by many citizens living in the Second Ward. He has made a splendid record and his constituents seem to want him to serve them again. Parson To Run. Mr. A.M. Parsons will make the race for Police Judge of Somerset. His petition is being circulated this week. Mr. Parsons has served as a member of the City Council and as Magistrate. He is a splendid citizen and should he be elected would make a good Judge.

Somerset will have the privilege of hearing this week the most distinguished negro orator and lecturer in America. Dr. Sheppard spent twenty years in the jungles of Central Africa as a Missionary of the Southern Presbyterian Church. He has had experiences that seem almost miraculous. The story of his life reads like a romance. His rise from a very humble surrounding in a little town in Virginia to become a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of England is a story you will not soon forget. He will tell you of his experiences but he very modestly leaves others to tell of his honors. I have heard this lecture at least four times before large audiences in Louisville and Nashville. You cannot afford to miss it. It will be given at the Court House next Friday at eight o'clock for the benefit of the colored school. A section of the seats will be reserved for the white people who expect to attend. C.H. Talbot. Jackson. Mr. Hamp Jackson, 45 years of age, died last Friday night at his home on Mt.

Mr. Trosper is a graduate of Berea College and knows his line of business. Bolt Strikes Griffin Home. The St. Petersburg, Fla., Independent, has the following to say that will be read with intense interest by the many friends in Somerset of the unfortunate family. "Lightening did much damage to the residence of Dr. T.R. Griffin, 13255 Tenth Ave. North during the thunderstorm yesterday afternoon and Mrs. Griffin narrowly missed death or serious injury. She was slightly shocked and badly frightened as the bolt of lightening which hit a chimney on the house passed into the ground down the chimney only a few feet from where she was standing. The bolt of lightening ripped off a part of the roof, tore out chimney stops, knocked off bricks form the chimney and broke several windows in the house." Lewis & Shadoan Polands Win At State Fair. Victor W. Lewis and Hobart Shadoan of the firm of Lewis & Shadoan, in this county, and breeders of registered Poland China hogs, have given this county quite a bit of advertising as a place where as good hogs as any place can be produced. It will be remembered that they wn in strong competition at the State Fair last year. They did even better this year. They took eleven head to the fair, came back with eleven ribbons, a silver loving cup for the best litter of pigs bred and owned by a Kentucky exhibitor and plenty of cash to bear expenses. This firm had a Junior boar pig that was first over the Junior Champion boar at the Ohio State Fair this year. This was a very choice pig out of the best breeding sow they have. The firm tried to interest one or two beginners in this county in this pig before they took him to the State Fair but they thought too much money was asked. While at the fair this pig was sold to one of the best breeders in the State. Lewis & Shadoan had a littler of pigs that stood first over every litter exhibited. In this litter was the first prize boar pig and first and second prize sow pigs. It was on this litter that they won the silver loving cup. A litter of bull brothers and sisters won last year. It is unfortunate for this section that Lewis & Shadoan are selling so many of this choice stock out of the county when it is needed here. Most of their choice stock has gone south where good hogs are taking the place of so much cotton. Lewis & Shadoan say they have the best crop of pigs on the farm now that they have ever had. They have Polands for sale at all times. They have on the place at this time the first prize aged boar at the Kentucky State Fair this year. He weighed 1003 pounds when he started to the fair this fall. They invite you to see their herd of as good Polands as can be found anywhere. They have 600 to 700 pound sows. Three of these sows a few days ago furrowed 34 pigs. Buy Dodge Cars. E.P. Hail of this city and Mrs. Phillippi, of Burnside, purchased Dodge touring cars from the Tartar-Hamm Motor Co. this week. Buys Home. Dr. B.C. Sievers has purchased from M.J. Cain the house ad lot on Columbia St. occupied by Mr. J.G. Clements. Offers Reward. The Somerset Gun Club guarantees the payment of $50 for the conviction of anyone caught seining or dynamiting in any of the streams of the county. This is a good chance for someone to pick up some easy money. To Voters of Somerset. After having thoroughly weighed the matter and advised with friends, I have decided to make the race for Police Judge of the City of Somerset. My decision was in a measure determined by many of the good women of the town who assured me of their support and influence. The office of Police Judge is one of the most important within the gift of the people and I promise if elected to preside with impartiality and see that justice is meted out to those brought before the bar. Heretofore there has been too much laxity in the department of justice and the position looked upon with too little concern. The morals of the community in a measure, depend upon the conduct of your Police Court. I especially appeal to the good women of the city to help me in this election for I know they are interested in seeing Somerset made a better town and I propose if elected to do all within my power to make it such. A.M. Parsons. Soap Track. Youngsters living in Ferguson, who should be severely punished, soaped the street car track last week and caused the company considerable trouble and quite a delay in the operation of the cars. These young men should be brought before the court and convicted as a lesson to others. It is a heavy fine to interfere in any way with the operation of a common carrier and the penalty should be enforcement. Mt. Shotwell says one of the cars was derailed this week by someone placing a spike on the track. Such pranks as these are dangerous and every effort should be made to catch those guilty. The police force should be put on the track of these youngsters who persist in violating the law. Galvin Indicted. Frankfort, Ky., Sept. 13 - Maurice Galvin, Republican State Committeeman, was indicted by the Franklin County Grand Jury here today on the common law charge of conspiracy with Frank Blair, convict, whose pardon was granted by Governor Morrow at Galvin's solicitation. Blair was indicted with Galvin. It is charged that they conspired together to obtain a pardon for said Blair and remove him from the boundaries of this State and thereby prevent his arrest by W.C. Dytie, post office inspector, by falsely representing to E.P. Morrow, Governor, that said Blair had never been in trouble before and that said Blair had a clear prison record. Higgins - Carter. Mr. Alonzo Carter of this city and Miss Willie Marie Higgins of El Centre, California, were married at the home of the bride on Saturday, September 17th. Announcements of the wedding have just been received in Somerset. Mrs. Carter is the attractive daughter of Mrs. Judith Higgins and was raised in Somerset. She moved to California about a year ago. She is a graduate of the Somerset High School. Mr. Carter is a hustling young business man of this city, being manager of the R.J. Smith Company. Mr. and Mrs. Carter will arrive in Somerset this week to make their home. Rat Killing Week Sept. 26 to Oct. 1. The town and community in infested with rats and we should take steps to reduce these pests. A number of our citizens have tried the following plan and it has worked and no doubt will be helpful if it is generally sued. Set out the rinds of a watermelon the first night without putting any poison on them, the rats will eat these and the next night put poison on them and they will rid your place of rates. Everybody help in this. G.C. Cruse. Big Reunion To Be Held On Perryville Battleground on October 8th, This Year. Mr. R.B.

Several speakers of prominence have been invited to be present and deliver addresses among them Gov. Morrow, Senator Beckham, Hon. H.S. McElroy and others. The Danville Messenger, referring to the coming reunion, says: "It is proposed to make Saturday, October 8th, a great day at the Perryville battlefield. It is to be a veritable love feast. Time is fast thinning the ranks of the boys who wore the Blue and the Gray. There are few left who took part in that bloody battle at Perryville on October 8, 1862. Notices of the approaching gathering will be published in the leading papers of the country and speakers are to be invited and are expected to be present who have a reputation as orators throughout many states.
