Telephone Co. Wins.  Company Has Right To Raise Rates, Says Judge Bethurum. 
The injunction suit filed by the City Attorney on behalf of the city to
prevent the Gainesboro Telephone Company from collecting a 50 cent raise on
telephones in Somerset was tried before Judge Bethurum last Tuesday.  On
Wednesday morning the Judge handed down a decision in favor of the telephone
company and dismissed the injunction.  The question at issue was whether or
not the franchise allowed the company to make the increase.  The franchise
reads "When the list of Somerset subscribers reaches 1,250, the rates of all
classes of service shall be increased 50 cents per month for telephones." 
The city contended that these subscribers must be within the city limits of
Somerset and the telephone company contended that Somerset subscribers meant
any telephones connected with the Somerset exchange whether they be in the
city or in the county.  Considerable proof was submitted by both sides.  The
telephone company produced evidence to show that they had made special effort
to increase the number of phones in the county and that it took both county
and city subscribers to make up the Somerset exchange.  The increase the
company will receive will amount to about $2,500 a year and this amount will
be distributed among the employees of the company.  The company issued a
statement in October showing that under the present rate they lost over $250.

Unlawful to Kill.  The game laws of Kentucky protects some game until
November 15th, 1924, and hunters should not kill the protected game.  For the
benefit of the hunter we quote a portion of the law: "No person shall catch
or kill, or pursue with such intent, or have the same in possession after it
has been caught or killed, any wild turkey, imported pheasant or Hungarian
partridge before the 15th day of November, 1924, and on and after November
15th, 1924, no person shall kill more than two wild turkeys during the open
season  in any one year, nor more than two pheasants or Hungarian partridge
in any one day when it is lawful to kill them."

Now With Louie.  R.O. Jones has resigned his position with the Daniel Briscoe
Co., of Knoxville, Tenn., and has been elected Secretary and Treasurer of the
Oneida Milling Co., of Oneida, Tenn.  Mr. Jones succeeds W.E. Kelly of this
city who held the position for some time.  Mr. Jones sold out at Nancy last
year and moved to a farm near New Albany, Ind., but will sell his farm and
make Oneida his home.  The Oneida Milling Co. is owned principally by Mr.
Louie Lowenthal of this city.  Mr. Jones is a splendid business man and will
make a valuable addition to the force of this institution.

Burglar Proof.  The officers of the First National Bank, of Somerset, want
their customers to know of the safeguard they have thrown around the bank for
the benefit of those who have entrusted their savings and valuable with them.
 They have taken out burglar insurance on their vault and safety deposit
boxes.  In order that proper claim might be made should any burglary occur
the bank asks that each safety deposit box renter make an inventory of all
valuables in their box and to keep the number of all bonds and securities. 
The bank officials feel that a burglary would be almost impossible with their
modern vault.  They have spared no expense to make the vault as near burglar
proof as it is possible to make it.  But in order to doubly protect their
customers they have taken out the insurance against any loss.

Southern Officials Visit Somerset.  Make Tour of Inspection of the Shops and
Office.  Somerset was visited last Friday by several prominent officials of
the Southern Railway.  In the party were H.W. Miller, Vice President, W.T.
Caldwell, General Superintendent of Transportation, C.M. Mitchell, General
Superintendent, J.H. Stanfield, General Manger, and W.H. Dooley,
Superintendent of Motive Power.  These men in company with Superintendent
Clements and Master Mechanic Cassada visited the shops and division offices
and also inspected the yards.  They spent considerable time making a survey
of the land adjoining the shops.  Just a week previous the same officials
were here with the exception of Vice President Miller.

For County Clerk.  It is said that Miss Stella May, who was Deputy County
Court Clerk under the last four administrations, will seek the office of
Clerk at the primary next fall.  This news is spreading rapidly over the
county and friends of Miss Stella say that it is practically certain that she
will make the race.  She is now in Frankfort where she has a position with
the State Tax Commission.

City Races Come Up Next Year.  J.R. Cook To Run For City Judge It Is Said. 
In addition to a county and judicial election next year we will have a city
election in Somerset.  Already many names have been mentioned in connection
with the various offices.  It is said that J.R. Cook will be a candidate for
Police Judge to succeed W.B. Morrow.  Friends of Mr. Cook have been urging
him to make the race for some time.  Judge Paul's name has also been
mentioned for this place.  There will be several candidates for Chief of
Police, Bill Fitzpatrick will run for re-election and he will be opposed by
John Bash, and probably others.  Mayor Cruse will not seek re-election as
Mayor.  It is said that Harvey Jenkins will make the race for this place. 
There will of course, be others.  There is some talk of a citizens ticket
composed of men for the various offices from Mayor down to Councilmen.

Circuit Court.  The December term of Circuit Court will come to a close
Saturday.  The Grand Jury was discharged last Saturday after returning 124
indictments.  The case of the Commonwealth against Stella Cato, charged with
killing Dessie Ross, was continued until the next term of court.  A verdict
in favor of the defendant was returned Tuesday in the case of Reuben E Todd's
Administrator against the Southern Railway.

Get Degrees.  Thos. Prather and Chris Tartar returned this week from
Louisville where they were made 32nd Degree Masons.  Both of these prominent
Masons have now received every degree in Masonry except the 33rd, which
degree only a few receive.

Denton Elected.  Judge James Denton was elected president of the board that
has charge of the Children's Odd Fellows Home.  At the state meeting last
week, Judge Denton was defeated by a small margin for Grand Warden.

Auto Licenses From The County Clerk.  Change In Law Also Makes A Big Increase
In Rates, Langdon Has Blanks.  Under an act passed by the last General
Assembly, all automobile licenses will be issued by the County Clerks of the
120 Counties in the State, instead of by the State Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles at Frankfort.  County Clerk Langdon has received blanks and
instructions for issuing these licenses, which will begin about December 1
for 1921.  The license tags for the county have been shipped to the County
Clerk, and auto owners must communicate with his office, instead of
Frankfort, to obtain licenses.  The Clerk is allowed 30 cents to issue each
license, and it is estimated that there are a thousand automobiles in the
county.  The new license rate is 60 cents per horse power.  Under this rate,
fixed by the Republican Legislature, the license for a Ford car will be
$13.20.  The old rate has been $6.00.

Paul Hymens, of Belgium, was elected first President of the League of
Nations, with representatives of 44 nations present.

A Tip For Somerset Pastors.  Washington, D.C. - Wives in Washington are
watching their husbands as never before and the husbands are watching
themselves more closely as the result of a revival here.  At the closing
meting of the revival services, the revivalist leaned over the pulpit and
said he had an important announcement to make.  "It has come to my knowledge
that there is a certain man in Washington who has not been true to his family
or his religion and who has not been leading an upright life.  This man is in
the congregation tonight.  If he will deposit a $10 bill in the collection
plate, it will be taken as token of his repentance and nothing further will
be said.  If he fails to do this, I warn him, that I will announce his name."
 The collection showed eight-five $10 bills and a note promising to pay the
$10 in the morning.

In Memory of Mother.  Mrs. Eveline S. Price, aged 65 years, 3 months and 7
days, wife of J.R. Price, died at her home at Ocala, Ky., October 12, 1920. 
Funeral services were conducted at the family burying ground by Rev. gentry
on October 13, in the presence of many friends and relatives.  Her demise was
due to a complication of diseases which had preyed upon her body for several
years.  Besides a heart broken husband, she leaves four sons and five
daughters, a host of friends and relatives to mourn for her.  She had been a
member of the Christian church for many years and we feel that her soul has
taken its flight to a land of peace and rest.  There was an angel band in
heaven, Which was not quite complete.  So the angles called dear mother, To
fill a vacant seat.  We have lost our precious mother, She has bid us all
adieu; She has gone to be with Jesus, And to us is lost from view.  We loved
our mother, yes, we loved her.  But the Savior loved her more; So the angels
sweetly called her, To that peaceful shining shore.  'Tis hard to hear our
grief and sorrow, Yet our Father's Will be done; We hope to meet with mother
in Heaven, Without the loss of one.  Mother is gone, but not forgotten, Never
will her memory fade; Sweetest thoughts will even linger, 'Round the gave
where she is laid.  Written by Mrs. Anna Price.

Gover.  In the early morning hours last Saturday the Death Angel with silent
tread entered the home of Bourne Gover and found this dear child of God ready
to answer the summons.  Without a struggle his gentle spirit started on the
Heavenward journey.  Mr. Gover (or "Uncle Bourne" as he was lovingly called
by those who knew him well) had been a resident of Pulaski County all his
life.  He was born in Bourbon neighborhood September 17, 1845, in the home of
very devoted and Christian parents.  He became a Christian at the age of ten
years, and later in life attached himself to the Methodist Episcopal Church,
being very loyal to its doctrines and teachings.  In early manhood Mr. Gover
taught school, then entered the mercantile business at Grundy, Ky., for a few
years prior to marriage in 1882 to Miss Belle Gillispie, of the same
community.  After married he was actively engaged in the mercantile business,
first at Shopville and later at Somerset, covering a period of 12 years. 
Since 1891, he has resided on Maple St., this city.  Mr. Gover was a member
of one of Pulaski's oldest and most prominent families.  He was a fine type
of Kentucky gentleman, was cultured both in mind and heart and though an
invalid for years will be greatly missed in his church, by his family and by
neighbors and friends.  Genial to a marked degree, all who entered his
commodious home found an atmosphere of genuine hospitality and welcome and
were taught a lesson in patience by his cheerful disposition.  He was always
very appreciative of every favor and attention from family or friends and
never failed to render expressions of gratitude for even the slightest
thoughts or deeds bestowed.  Mr. Gover is the last member of his father's
family.  He leaves, of his immediate family, a wife and daughter, Mrs. Victor
W. Lewis, who have ministered to him so faithfully in all the years of his
physical weakness.  A host of friends assembled at the M.E. church Sunday
afternoon to pay the last tribute of love and respect to this dear, good man.
 The services were so impressive and appropriate in every detail, being
participate in by his pastor, rev. F.W. Harrop, and every minister in the
city, whose social visits he had so much enjoyed and appreciated in life. 
There is sadness in the hearts of those who loved and cared for him, but
there is also submission to God's will in releasing the frail body from its
physical pain.  They should not grieve for we know that he had "set his house
in order," and feel sure that he could have voiced the sentiment of the
following beautiful lines:  Now, like a weary traveler, That leaneth on his
guide, Amid the shades of evening, While sinks life's lingering sand, I hail
the glory dawning, From Immanuel's land.  My Lord says "Come up hither," My
Lord says, "Welcome home"  My kingly King at His white throne, My presence
doth command, Where glory, glory dwelleth, In Immanuel's land.  I shall sleep
sound in Jesus, Filled with His likeness rise, To love and to adore Him, To
See Him with these eyes; 'Tween me and resurrection But Paradise doth stand,
Then - then for glory, dwelling In Immanuel's land (contributed).

Joshua Jones, Former Pulaskian, Will Locate in Haiti, Where He Buys 7,000
Acres.  The Danville Messenger had the following article about Mr. Joshua
Jones, a former Pulaskian:  Mr. Joshua Jones, local capitalist, who recently
returned from a prospecting trip through Cuba, Haiti and San Domingo and
other islands of the West Indies Group, has announced that he will organize a
colony of local citizens to locate in Haiti, where he purchased 7,000 acres
of land.  He believes Haiti is the most desirable field for the home builder
and settler.  He spent several months on the island and found the residents
as a rule, courteous and well behaved, although in the jungle section the
inhabitants are practically uncivilized.  Mr. Jones says the climate of Haiti
is ideal.  There is only 15 degrees difference between the summer and winter
temperatures and vegetation grows prolifically throughout the year.  He says
that the growing of sugar cane is one of the chief industries, although corn,
rice and cotton are grown in many sections.  He expects to grow almost all
crops, except wheat.  The land is very rich and the soil is deep and grows
the crops to a prolific yield.  Farms under good fence sell at $2.50 an
acres, but some of the unimproved land can be bought at 25 cents an acre. 
Mr. Jones purchased 7,000 acres of the unimproved land and fenced the
property before leaving the island.  Several local citizens have already made
application to join his colony and he expects soon to have as many families
ready to move to the island as will be required to cultivate the land.  A
number of big cane mills and sugar factories are located in the vicinity of
his property and a ready market is at hand for all the sugar cane that can be
grown.  Hon. Thomas P. Reed of this city was with Mr. Jones for some time,
but sailed home several weeks ahead.  Mr. Jones expects to spend much of his
time on his plantation, but will, of course, continue to call Danville his
home.  He moved to Danville from Lincoln County, where he was formerly
engaged in the hemp growing business on a very large scale.  For several
years he was the largest hemp grower in the Bluegrass country.

Fish - Sharp.  Mr. Oscar Sharp of Stearns, Ky., and Miss George Fish, of

where they will make their home.  Mrs. Sharp is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
John Fish and has been a valued employee of the Gainesboro Telephone Co.  Mr.
Sharp is a prominent young business man of Stearns.

Adams to Run.  Friends of Napier Adams are giving out the information that he
has decided to make the race for County judge next year against R.C. Tartar,
the present Judge, who will seek re-election.  They say that Mr. Adams has
received many delegations from all sections of the county who have urged him
to make the race.  Friends of Judge Tartar are trying to get him to run for
State Senator, but so far he has turned a deaf ear to their plea and will see
re-election to the office he now holds.  The race promises to be a most
interesting one.

W.H. Warren.  News of the death of Mr. W.H. Warren, which occurred at his
home near Somerset November 3, 1920, came as a shock to us.  Although he had
been ill for some time, his death was not expected so soon.  But the Lord
knoweth and doeth all things best.  Grandfather, as we all know, was a member
of the Clay Hill Baptist Church.  Always trying to do his Christian duty and
to point other souls heavenward.  Besides a grief-stricken wife, he leaves
eight children, as follows:  A.W., Marion, Robert, Henry, Ed Warren, and Mrs.
J.L. Meece of Pulaski County, and Mrs. M. Shadoan and Charles Warren of
Montana; three brothers, one sister and a host of friends and relatives to
mourn his departure.  Yet we weep not as those who have no hope. He has gone
from earth to glory, never to suffer nor to sigh; Ever to live with Christ
our Savior, Ever to sing His praise on High.  We will miss him, yes, we'll
miss him, But our loss is Heaven's gain; He has gone to that bright mansion,
ever with loved ones to remain.  There was an angel, band in Heaven, Which
was not quite complete, So the Savior called dear Grandpa, to fill a vacant
seat.  May we all prepare to meet him, On that bright and shining shore;
There to sing God's glorious praises, Together at home for evermore.  Anna
Price, a granddaughter, Danville, Ky.

Irregularities In Eleventh Shown.  Laborers Hauled From Voting Place To
Voting Place Is Charged.  Pineville, Ky. - Interesting disclosures have been
made here of some of the alleged fraudulent and illegal practices uncovered
by agents of the Department of Justice which helped roll up the abnormal
Republican majority in the Eleventh Congressional District.  Following
preliminary work, a request was made for a special crew of investigators and
these are expected daily.  Their work probably will consume six weeks or
more.  Various illegalities have been found in the preliminary probe.  In
scores of precincts persons were voted who never went near the polls.  Many
aliens and person under age were voted.  In one instance the wife of an
election officer was o he poll book as having voted.  She signed an affidavit
to the effect that she did not go to the polls.  A naturalization certificate
belonging to a Greek was changed in an effort to hide his identity after he
had voted.  It was revealed that a man in one of the Harlan mining camps was
paid $50 a day for trucks in which he hauled laborers from voting place to
voting place.  In one voting place, 1,114 votes were cast and the tally
sheets showed that only five of this number were valid.  Harding received 972
and Cox 142.
