No eT,irt was made lo secure money through him. The story Is prououne.al Incredit able by many, though the ease Is at ti.uting wide attention tliroughout Kentuckv. No theory has been ad vanced to account for his disappear ance. Several weeks ago all search for him was given up nnd he was thought by all to he dead The hoi iinii ins lamny lived m Asheville for several years and ate known to many people here.

Mr. I.ocke t'l-nig was called upon irat by the tousimaster, and re- spomlcil to the toast " I he Lawyer. ' Mr. i ralg made a splendid address, speaking ot the legal profession a tlie greatest OH earth; of tha high Ideals and high mindednesa of ' the members of the bur. Mr. g alao said, humorously, that it is easy to fcralve the man that falls. You can nonade him while he lives and ran nonlze him when he ilies. Mr. Craig. In speaking of tin- supremacy of the legal profession, bronglit to notice that all 'governors elected In Nortli Carolina httva .bcen lawyers except one: all congressmen from North Car olina except two are lawyers, bothj senators are lawyers and nil pregM dents but threa have been lnwyers. Dr. George T. Winston, who deliv ered one of the flne"st addresses ever heard here, , dlsctlssod , "Law and Life." Dr. Winston spoke of funda mental and -Natural laws that control tho universe and defined tho relation of human life to the universe, that the law 6f morality is eternal and, to more clearly define his point, re minded his ttearers that the savages and barbarianf, np Jonge,,rontrol the WrtH.' rti!r 'ferocious beasts infest it. but are superceded by the kindly Anglo-Saxon and the gentle lamb. Dr. Winston', address was a masterly one and commanded the individual attention of the banqueters for half an hour. Mr. William J. Cocke was next called upon. His subject was "An other Mile Post," and his address was a splendid effort. Mr. Cocke in a Kiaphlc manner outlined the pausing of the yi-urs. He spoke f tho oppor tunities of the pant and the rich promise of the future, for tho unite and nation. The failures of the past, be Kuld, mude stronger the resolutions i f the future. Mr. Cocke was listened to with great interest and attention. Mr. Kingalauil Van Winkle apolo gized: for hM arguments that Shakes peare wus not a lawyer and in liis writings had often used legal words and phram-M Inttorreetly. His toast was humorous and was received jivlth much enthiisia.mii. Judge JPritchard, who was to re spond to thu toast "The isolation of the-Judiciary to the Legal profes sion," was unable to attend on ac count of illness. . However, his paper wK read by Mr. J. J. Hritt. ll iVuk u good treaties on the stiblei ;, and among other points emphu.siy.cd the idea of how much bencllt the lawyer were to the Judges, and cited a num ber of great opinions that were de livered after masterly arguments. A number of others were called up on. Including Judge Adamsv Judge Murphy, Judge Khiiford, Mr. Kope Klias, Judge T. A. Jones and -Judge If. 11. Stevens.
