The great mltehmenta of Senator tal for his State and nation w ig hU years at WaBhing 't so well known' to the preciatcd that it is not neces sary for him to be here in or der to get the votes in the pri mary. His opponent, Mr. W. P. Kiiribcll, of Lexington, en deavors to explain his candid ncy but not satisfactorily. Democrats of Kentucky should express their feeling nnd ap prcciation of Senator James by being at the polls and casting their votes for him. Of course Kimbcll has no chance for the nomination over Senator James but- the nomination should be made unanimous and the democrats of Kentucky should enthusiastically rally to the polls on August 3 nnd give Senator James the largest voto that any democrat ever recciv ed in a State primary in Ken tucky.

Both were knocked un conscious and fell to the floor. Mr. Stearns was unconscious for nearly an hour, while Mrs. Stearns recover ed in a few moments. Both were badly burned down their sides, be side suffering with blistered feet, but are happy to escape so miraculously. CRAB ORCHARD PLEASES EDITORS.

Mrs. Wilson has receivd the fol lowing letter from the nurse who is attending her son, Gilbert, vho was recently . injured by accident n France: France, June 18th, 1918. My Dear'Mrs Wilson: Your boy, Gilbert, has asked me to write you a letter telling about his accident and Just how he is getting along. On June Sth, while he was at his Camp a grenade burst quite near him and unfortunately cut his throat very bad under his chin. In order to make his breathing possible the Drs. at the hospital Inserted a silver tube In his trachea, making his breathing very easy for him and also giving his wound a chance to heal without oter exertion by using his mouth and throat in any way. By the next day they made an opening through his abdomen into his stomach by which we feed him many nourishing foods in liquid form, such as- milk, gruels, creamed Boups, eggnog, etc. Gilbert isn't able to speak or use his voice, due to tho trachea tube in his throat, but we all manage to get on well by his writing to us, also an alphabet form we use so we may count out tho letters and figures he wants to use. Two nurses have been on special duty with him ever since he was ad mitted, so you may rest assured he has never been alone at any time. We are all American nurses at this Hospital and take care of our Soldier Boys. With a few exceptions now and then, the Doctors are the finest in our country (back home) coming from Yale Medical schools in New Haven, Conneticut. Things are pretty lively up here in general, the. boys come down regular from the field hospjtnl and stay a few days and then they are sent back to the Base hospitals until they are completely well. Gilberts Chaplin from his own company said "he would write 'you and also his brother over here." Mm Wilson don't worry about your boy. We are glvkur' himMhebeit carea lie could get' any where in this little world. It. Utttt to me for 'I have travcletfaH'ovcr the State and, am jow enjoying my "VorW lrf Franco-aYl'dld back home In Ihe U. S.Army. 'Hospitals. lloplng some day when the War Is over, "to see and speak with you in person, for I have some friends In Louisville, Ky. whom I am going to visit. I may be able then to explain things a little more clearly than I have on paper, just now. Hoping this eases your mind a lit tle In regard to your boy, I am very' sincerely, Margaret G. Cluncy.
