The cornerstone of the new
high school building was laid last
Monday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock
under the auspices of the Masonic
Lodge of thus city. Despite the
fact that it was a windy day
and a “small” sand storm was
blowing, there was a large crowd
out to witness the ceremonies.
Worshipful Master, 0. T.
Youngblood, presided at the
ceremonies. W. 0. Jones, Mayor
of the city, and W. H. Aber-
nathy, secretary of the school
hoard, made interesting talks.
The junior band was there under
the direction of Mr. Lundgren
and rendered a splendid program
in a musical way.
In the words of a visitor to
our city not long ago, Paducah
is “setting pretty” so far as
schools are concerned. A $10,-
000.00 brick structure has just
been completed at North Ward.
The New High School building
at Paducah represents an ex-
penditure of about $80,000.00.
It is one of the most modern
school buildings in all this sec-
tion of the state. It has an
auditorium that will seat twelve
rr fifteen hundred people. The
heating system is one of the
best that money can buy, both
buildings being heated with steam
from one plant. It is certainly

In last week’s issue we stated
that the State Department would
take over the F. F. F. Highway
on the first of July. Stinee then
we understand that they have
already taken over this road, but
that permanent plans will not
be completed until July 1.
The State has appropriated
$4,000.00 for the purpose of
maintaining this road from now
until the first of July. At that
time another $4,000.00 will be

The regular monthly meeting
j of the Chamber of Commerce was
held last Thursday at a luncheon
at the Majestic Cafe. The at-
tendance was unusually large,
j there being about one hundred
plates and all were taken. It
was an enthusiastic meeting for
the reason that the good roads
programs were dasucssed and
much enthusiasm was created re-
garding the Lee Highway.
D. E. Jordan wais called upon
to give an account of the Lee
Highway meeting that was held
at Washington several days ago,
at which meeting he was in at-
tendance as a delegate from
this county. He is very enthu-
siastic over the outook of the
Lee Highway, and said that it
was going to be one of the
greatest highways in the United
States in a very few years. He
dwelt at length upon the thought
this road is to Ik* a memorial
to the Southern leader during
the Civil War, Robert E. Lee,
and that if it served no other
purpose the road ought to be
constructed as one of the beat
in the United States, in honor
of his memory. “But,” said
Mr. Jordan, “ it will serve
another great purpose. It will
serve thousands and thousands of
people each year. Especially will
it serve the touring traffic each
year on a coast to coast tour.

to a violent session Friday al-
most unprecedented for the ex-
change of bitter personalities and
insinuations of misconduct. As
a result, action was forced over
until tomorrow on the proposal
for an investigation of Mr.
Daugherty’s official record.
The storm, which broke about
the investigation resolution of
Senator Wheeler (Dem) of Mon-
tana. swept over all boundaries
of Senate rules and decorum.
There were charges and counter-
charges of attempts to “pack,”
there were attacks upon numer-
ous officials present, and past,
from the White House down,
and upon the personal conduct
and affiliations of presidential
candidates and Senators.
For more than five hours the
outbursts from crowded galleries
despite repeated warnings and
threats from the chair. The
Senate recessed Friday night
with the debate in full swing,
but with adoption of the inves-
tigation resolution in prospect
tomorrow after another hectic
period of discussion.
Most of Friday’s battle field
was the Attorney General’s of-
ficial records in various matters
including the oil scandal. Many
old charges were repeated and
one new accusation was made by
Senator Heflin (Dem.) of Ala-
bama, who declared the Attorney
General had written a letter
seeking to protect from prosecu-
tion an unidentified Republican
national cimmitteeman of the
West. Senator Heflin said he
had seen a letter to a Western
District Attorney saying that
any favors to the committeeman
•would be appreciated and ad-
ding that “he is our man.”
