MAY DAY IX KENTUCKY.
l'n It r Ciislcin in (lie Khie (JiHse Slatc-
liny ut tun ami (iuod t'hecr.
It was, 'and may bo yet, an
J1. .g.iah cULiioui to celebrate the
lii -t day of M.iy every year. Tht
oiMum was handed down from
N;;-'' to sun and from dame to
d.ui'. liter until it eventually
readied the JNew World, and in
tunc Kentucky, where, as far as
I kii w, this anniversary is still
cel..-1 rated. The first of May is
looii'id upon as a day of holiday
and joy went. The ceremonies
api as follows:
Ti e you men of a town go a
si. or; distance in the country and
disMiae themselves and repre
s'jiit well known characters. Af
ter t'.ie dUguise is complete and
aeli is assigaed a character to
i!i 3sent they mount fancily
ducked horscsand ride into town
coannan Jed by a captain, who,
like the rest, is disguised. When
the company reaches the mo6t
public place they are halted and
ilrav. n up into line. The captain
t'.ieu calls the name of a well
known citizen and one of the
disguised , men representing the
sa;n.i rides to the front so all can
k.-o. The captain then asks him
pointed humorous questions and
the disguised representative re
plies in a like humorous strain.
The same performance is con
tinned until a dozen or more
:itizi;us are represented. Permit
me to give one illustration. Take
yourself for instance, Mi. Bar
rier. You are known to be an
editor. Your name would be
called and your representative
wot id ride to the front dressed,
say in cotton cloth of the Na-tion-tl
colors red, white and
biue with an immense quill be
hind his ear, ink on his hands
i.ud clothes, and what not. Ap
iropriate questions and answers
would be given local matters,
etc., which are most amusing
uiid appropriate, and all given
and taken just as intended for
fun. After this performance was
concluded all would adjourn to a
n-nrby Kentucky blue grass
w ooiland pasture where a crowd
of young ladios awaited. One of
the e young ladies would be
crowned "Queen of May," with
approprite speeches. After this
ceremony the young men and
rnii'dens would adjourn to an
other part, of the ground where
the May Pole had been planted.
At :he top of this pole, before it
v,;:s put into the ground, was
fu4oned by tacks, many ribbons
ll of different color. Each of
the youug men aud maideLS
wnijd lake an end of the ribbon
in lieir hand, aud to the sound
ot sweet music dance around this
pole, giug in and out, in and
out. ami in this -way would wind
the ribbons around the May Pole,
wl'ou ut the conclusion of the
dutve it would be a "thing of
bounty" to look at.
How well I remember the May
Days of my own happy youth,
wiui no care ou my minnd, no
thought of the future, but only
of too days when

criminal intent, but in the pur

it was an evil that it was desired

THE LIBERTY BELL.
Sketch uf tho ll'stm ic itelie - Tolled
La! fur Chief Justice JIurliiill.
Tho thing of most inteu.se his
toric '.nicest at the Charleston
Exposition is the old Liberty
Bell. It is silent and wilt ever
remain so as to its address to the
oar but its power to call together
about it those who take due
pride in the nation's history aud
are ambitious to perpetuate thai
iu man on which a free republic
rests, will ever be undiminished,
will grow stronger and its tore
will ever ring clear aud telling
to the American heart.
It was in tho year 1731 that
the boll was ordered from the
agent of the Province in London.
American independence was
hardly thought of at that earjy
period yet the following inscrip
tion was cast upon it:
"By order of tho Assembly of
the Province of Pennsylvania
for the State House in Philadel
phia, 1752," and underneath this
"Proclaim liberty throughout all
the land unto all the inhabitants
thereof." Lev.25-v 10.
The boll arrived iu Philadel
phia in August but in September
it cracked by a stroke of the
clapper and had to be recast.
This was done in Philadelphia.
Tho job was not satisfactory and
the firm gave it a second re
casting. This was done in May,
1753.
The boll was raised to its po
sition :n the State II ou so or Inde
pendence Hall during June,
1733, and has been taken down
and removed five times, namely
in 1777 to prevent it from fall
ing into the hands of the British,
in 1885 to the exposition at New
Orleans, in 18U3 to tho Chicago
Exposition, in 1895 to tho expo
sition at Atlanta, and now to the
exposition at Char.eston.
But every one who ever stops
to look even at a picture of the
bell sees the crack, which is now
an essential part of the relic.
An error has crept iuto the
minds of somo that tho bell got
its fatal stroke at the joyful ring
ing that announced the adoption
of the declaration of independ
ence. The last clear hound that
it gave out was a toll as the dead
body of the great John Marshall,
Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United Stales, was
being borno away for burial in
Virginia.
The bell had been rung to call
together tho General Assembly,
announce the anniversary of in-
depence, tho visits of celebrated
characters and in honor of the
noble dead. On July 4, 1827.it
rang to announce the 50th anni
versary aud in connection with
this semi centennial occasion it
tolled the deaths of Thomas Jef
ferson and John Adams.
It rang for the visit of Lafay
ette in 1824 and for his death
in 1834. ;

SI I I S t-OK II ItEAl'll OE 1'HOMISE OF
MAlMilAtiE.
Ella Hlieeler Wilcox Has Jio Sy nipalhj
or Hinpeei for the Voman Who
Aeeepls Money for Unrequited Love.
A young woman recently ob
tained several thousand dollars'
damage to htr affections from a
faithless English lord.
Another woman is suing an
American millijnaire for having
made some sort of promise he
has not kept.
Neither the English lord nor
the American millionaire in
terests me, and they do not need
my sympathy.
But I feel the degradation to
my own rex when women
descend to this sort of infamy to
obtain money.
Is'o woman possessed of an
atom of refinement, self-respect
or pride ever brought herself to
face the ordeal of a suit for
breach of promise unless she had
a fatherless child to support
through the failure of a lover to
keep a promise of marriage.
But just why so many juiie
are ready to assist the adven
turess in blackmailing a brother
man is a mystery to mo.
There is oue more despicable
human being on earth that is
the man who sues a faithless
sweetheart for breach of pro
mise. Yet nine times out of
ten such women receive the con
sideration of our courts of so
called "justice."
Perhaps it may be due to the
lurking jealousy in man's
nature he likes to punish the
other man who has received a
little more favor from the fair
than he has and to make him
pay for being a greater favorite.
Since woman is so loud in her
dec'arations of "equality," it is
time our courts regarded her
from a less sentimental stand
point. If a man has deceived her and
wasted her time holding out
promises which ho has not
fulfilled, let her right-about face
and make a new future for her
self, as hundreds of men have
done under similar conditions,
and let keep her self -respect and
pride.
Tho woman who will even
accept money from a faithless
lover (much less demand it) is
tho woman he is quite justified
in leaving before he attaches
himself for life to a mercenary
leech.
Real love the love which
endures the stress and strain of
everyday life and the vicissitudes
of advancing years never on
earth could contemplate a
monetary settlement of its
losses. The woman who takes
her heartaches into the courts
insults all good, loving worth
while women, and is not worthy
of the sympathy of good men.
However greatly she may
have been deceived, the moment
she puts a price upon her grief
she ranks herself with the
adventuress and the black
mailer.
Real love and real sorrow are
not merchandise. Ella Wheeler
Wilcox.
YOUNG WOMAN DISAPrEARS.
M Ins Chi Went, of Lenoir, Is Mining
Seenn Like a Nellie Cropsey Cane.
A Lenoir special of the first to
tho Charlotte Observer says:
'A sensation suddenly devel-
opeit Here louay which, u uui
soon solved, may rival the fa
mous Cropsey case at Elizabeth
Ci'y, and which in somo respects
is not unlike that saa auair.
Miss Cordie Childors, a woman
of perhaps 23 or 24, living at the
lome ot tier uncie, aooui one
mile out of town, on the Blow
ing Rock road, has mysteriously
disappeard. She attended a
church near her homo last night
and was accompanied home by
Will Pulwood, a young widower
and neighbor, who has paid her
some attention.
Youug Fulwood says she asked
him in the course of their con
vcrsation if he was not engaged
to another girl and he told her
he was, and thatnothingel.se un
usual took place, except when he
left her at. the door she was cry-
in";. She has not been seen
since nor has tho whole day's
search iu all directions revealed
anv suggestion as to her where
a bouts. Tho family did not be
come alarmed until this morning,
thiuking that she was spending
the nisriit with a noighbor. No
one has breu heard to connect
young Fuhvood's name with Miss
Childors' disappearance, both on
account of the excellent reputa
tion of both parties and of the
voung woman's previous melan
choly disposition and her recent
intimations that all was not hap
DV in her home life, but that it
would not continue long, etc.
The two theories aro, first,
suicide, or that she has been
helped away to other parts.
Mayor Newland says the large
pond of llio Caldwell Land &
Lumber Company, near the Chil
dors home and covering some
five or six acres, will be dragged
or drained tomorrow morning
unless there is previous nejvs of
the missing young woman.

About 4 o'clock last Wednesday
morning, Smith Price, a worth
less, drinking character who
lived near the cemetery, left
home and nothing was seen of
him until this morning about 5
o'clock, when his dead body was
found, by Wm. Renfrow, tabout
three miles from town, near the
gold mine. He had evidently
been dead some time, b"t therd
were no signs of loul play. Ho
was seen by Peter Hoko about
50 yards from where his body
was found Wednesday morning
early. He was then complain
ing of a pain in his stomach. He
had been a constant drinker for
some time and was not far from
a still house when found.
A $2 bill that had been raisee

made and the purchaser gave
him $20 inpayment and received
a suit of clothes and $12 in
change. The fraud was detected
this morning, and Mr. Mc
Allister, one of the firm, went
off on tho search. A 'phono
message from Rlacksburg about
4 o'clock stated that ho had the
