CONDITIONS AT
UNIONTOWN, KY.,
ARE TERRIBLE
PEOPLE FLEE THE FLOODS
And Huddle Together in
Stables
Evansville, Ind., April 4. —Extreme
conditions of suffering resulting from
the Ohio flood were reported yester
day from Uniontown, Kv., where the
fourteen hundred inhabitants of the
town and six hundred refugees from
the surrounding country districts are
huddled in the fair grounds on the
only dry spot in an area of ten miles.
The people are without food and
have no housing except the cow stalls
of the fair grounds. Ten thousand
rations were prepared and will be
dispatched on the steamer Lowry
this afternoon and tents sufficient to
house the flood victims will be sent
at the same time. Captain Nayler ask
ed for aid from Louisville and ad
ditional rations will be dispatched
from there by rail.
The river Is rapidly creeping over
the only railroad connection into the
city and unless the Louisville, sup
ply train arrives by tonight the relief
train will be cut off from the town. •
The river at Uniontown is reported
to be two fe«t e’er the 1884 stage.
Hickman in Better Condition.
Hickman, Kv., April 3. Steady
work throughout the night on the
west Hickman levee where several
weak spots developed yesterday, to
day had placed that embankment in
a condition which local experts be
lieve will withstand what flood water
now is in sight. Rain and wind today
served to complicate the situation, hut
the new method of holding the sand
bagging in place with planking, it is
believed, will prevent any break.
Reports from along the line of the
Reelfoot levee this morning state that
the levee is, holding throughout its en
tire length. Captain Logan in charge
of a train load of men and materials
is busily engaged in distributing the
men and supplies wherever they are
needed.
The refugee camp on the hills oil
Hickman has been pronounced in
good shape. There is said to be
planty of food and shelter for all who
have arrived and arrangements have
been made for enlarging the camp as
it becomes necessary. Sanitary con
| ditions are reported to be better than
those of last year.
-4 YEARS OLD AND
FOUGHT IN HIM;
Washington, Pa., April 4.—A ring
bout in which Isaac McGirr and An
drew Horn, both eighty-four years oi.i
and citizens of this place, were the
principals, was pulled off at an auc
tion sale in West Pike Run township
\ late yesterday afternoon.
The stake was a saddle which the
auctioneer had knocked down to Horn,
although McGirr claimed that his hi I
was the highest. In the argument thar
followed, challenges flew thick an 1
fast.
To settle tlie affair, a ring was pitch
ed with a rope and stakes, seconds
and a referee appointed, and the old
hoys told to settle it, the winner to
take the saddle.
At the call of time, butli the “conn -
hacks” waded in and gore began to
flow before a minute of the rounds was
up. The flighting was fast with both
men uppercutting and swinging as fast
las they could work their arms.
When the bell rang for the end of
the round neither of the battlers hesi
tated for a second but kept smashing
end slugging one another around the
r.ng.
The referee and seconds tried to sep
arate the “old timers,” but it was sev
eral minutes before they succeeded ’n
lulling them apart. Both were co/-
rred with blood but still had plenty of
fight left in them. The saddle was
finally put up again and sold to the
third bidder.

tiently waiting for him. The negro
is one of a number of fugitives from

The negro boy, Homer Bennet, es

AMERICAN WOMAN
SERIOUSLY ILL IN
A LONDON POISON
MAT REQUEST HER RELEASE
Miss Emerson is Quite 111
There Now
London, April 4.—A letter from Mrs.
Emerson of Detroit, Mich., was hand
ed by Josiah Wedgwood, a liberal
member of .parliament to Reginald
McKanna, the Britisli home secretary
today.
It demanded permission for Mrs.
Emerson’s own physician to examine
her daughter, Miss Zelie Emerson, the
militant suffragete who.is said to be
J suffering from the forcible feeding
| employed by the officials since sh-r
| started her "hunger strike” in Hollo
| way jail.
The United States embassy, accord
ing to Mrs. Emerson has promised, in
the event of the failure of Secretary
McKanna to comply with her request,
to place the matter before the British
foreign office.
A letter from a prisoner confined
ir. the next cell to Miss Emerson says
that the release of the American wo
man within a few days is necessary
h. order to save her reason and pei
baps her life.
This letter also asserts that Miss
Emerson by giving her neighbor a
portion of her food, started her “hun
ger strike” fourteen days before the
prison doctors discovered the ruse.
FARM DEMONSTRATORS
PLANNING TEAR’S WORK
To Be 2,000 Boys and Girls
in 1913 Clubs
mm ~——■ •
Atlanta, April 4.—Farm demonstra
tion and corn club agents are holding
meetings here to discuss plans and set
under way the work for 1913.
Thosa here meeting with J. Phil
Campbell, director of the work for
this state, are Dr. William Bradfoid,
of Atlanta; W. O. Cornelius, of Cedar
town; L?. W. Cown, of Union City; J.
W. Hendricks, of Savannah; G. V.
Cunningham, of Tifton, and J. G
Oliver, of Macon.
Discussion yesterday was confine!
to the boys’ corn clubs and the girls'
canning clubs. This year there w.'l
be fully 20,000 boys and girls in th"
state actively at work in the two clubs,
and all of the agents agreed that tho
enthusiasm was constantly on the in
crease. It was also determined that I
the state corn show would be held in |
the capitol here in the first week of I
next December. The success of tho |
plan of holding it in the capitol was
demonstrated last year and it will be
done again, under the auspices of the
.Atlanta chamber of commerce.
Today the agents disbussed the
work among the adults. Stimulated
by the example and the marvelous
success of the boys, the lads are now
j taking hold and trying to put two
M.'shels of corn where one use! to
grow.
What is being done is illustrated in
just one county, Carroll. When tho
farm demonstration began in Carroll
seme four or five years ago, there were
I exactly 35 farmers interested enough
to try it out. Now there are some
1.500. Four years ago, 1,000 farm
wagons carrying supplies to the farm
were counted passing one point out -f
Carrollton within a period of six hours.
Four years later the number had
dwindled to four wagons.
God gives the raw product—it rests
with us whether or not it is turned in
to the finished piece of art.
Every act that is worth performing
at all is worth putting one's whole
soul and brain into—in that way only
is success achieved.
Speaking of padded cells, some wo
men are padded "sells.”
How can you be happy if
\ >our shoes are not right? The
\ best cost no more than what you
\ are wearing, so why not try our
shoes?
A poorly fitting shoe is as
out of place as a Madero in Mex
ico. Here we insist on perfect
fit. Our shoes cling to the feet
j: like a lawyer to his fee.
