portion of Kentucky, is Col. w. G..
WEIGH, who was born in Crab Orchard
ON the 4th day of April, 1S41. He is
descended from one of those old Vir-

Editor Record:-There is a growing
opposition to conventions to settle the
Claims Of candidates for office. Much
diScOrd and evil effects are produced
by such methods, whsre party inter-
estS and the general welfare are tram
pied under foot by those who hold
themselves above the party. The cor
rupt proceedings in conventions, and
their bad effects on party OrganiZa-
ton are too well-knOwn to require
mention. With proper rulings to gov
ern primaries. and good men to en-
force them these bad effects can, very
largely be avoided. The people hold
the power The question is asked
who should be the electors t? Mani
testify the party for which the election
is held.
If it be democratic primary, those
who have generally, affiliated with
the democratic party, together with
any honest, truthful man, who de-
clareS his intention to support the
nominee, should alone be permitted
to vote. FlOaterS, or those who cast
their votes for reward, should not
be permitted to vote. The reason for
this is apparent. The flOater has no
politics, and he will not support the
nominee at the final election, unless
he is paid to do so, and but few men
are able to buy two elections, and some
prefer not to indulge in such corrupt
methods.
Again, the fioater holds the balance
of power in some sections, the will of
the majority of the party holding the
election, may be thwarted, and dis
cord will certainly be the result. Such
voters cannot be barred at a general
election, but they can be denied
vote at primary without giving the
reason. If they become offended it
matters not, for they must be bought
in the final race anyway. Let us have
a clean vote and we can then march,
in solid column without any diScOrd
against the enemy.
/ have never scratched democratic |
ticket, and l have always labOred to
advance the interests of the party, |
but assert, and no one who has the
good of the party at heart will deny
the truth of the assertion, that it
would be a burning shame to allow
flOaterS to come into family fight
and settle the contention over the
members of the family. OF course,
the color line should be drawn and
strictly observed. DEMOCRAT. |

strumentality of Judge Alex Humph-

now OF Louisville, that we were given
the preference. Judge Humphrey has
been untiring in his efforts to secure
the extension to our city. His efforts
are crowned with success and it re-

tract by raising the required sum. If
the people could only realize what a

ted in a short time. The next meet
ing of the town committee will be

scriptiOnS as they are received, which
if it is done will show how much at
heart each and every one has the well

Kentucky an oil tield2"


Says:
us Kentucky an oil tield:'
That depends upon the stand point
OF the one who is to make response to
the enquiry. Kentucky is certainly
producing Oil. There are nearly or
quite one hundred rigs at work in the
State every day and all day industri-
ously pounding the drill through the
earth where oil is supposed to be in
hiding. More of these drills are at
work today than at any other period
since the first discovery of oil in the
Wayne county field. We know by the
observations of one year that lot of
excited leaSe-grabberS, land-grafters,
stock promoters and spectators, gush-
er-hunterS and Self-eSteemed experts
camping around prOmiScuOuSly does
not constitute an oil field. The NUT
terings of disappointed investors i'm

ought not to influence the Judgment
of conservative people whose money is
at work with the drill. The DAYS of
reports which the Specula-
tive element has Sneaked into the
public prints, have passed and along
with them have passed out of the way
"a lot of fools with money to spend"
reckleSSly and indiScriminately in

highly entertained last Tuesday by
the arrival on the Square of Miss Ada

Pulaski county, with her banjo. She
appears to be IA or ID years of age and
possesses an attractive face and has ex-
preSsive blue eyes. She performs We
ry Skillfully with her toes on her in
strument and accompanies the strains
of the banjo with the sweet music of a
tender pathetic voice. The banjo lies
on the floor before her and she brings
forth the music by the we'll trained

very legibly and quickly and told with
pencil her name and post Office. She
is entirely dependent upon the gener-

Pork Roast and Its Origin.

On Steve Bailey'S farm last week s
large hogs and few ShOats were pref
ty thoroughly roasted, says the Har-
rOdSburg Democrat. Steve furnished
the meat and fuel and nature lighted
the fire by stroke of lightning that
consumed large straw stack and the
swine that had taken shelter under it.
How many school children know that
cooked pork as food had its origin in
the accidental burning of straw
stack and of sow and pigs years and
years ago. The story goes that some
Chinese children were shooting their
popping crackers about stack of rice
straw, when it caught fire and burned.
In stirring about in the hot ashes the
kids found the burnt pigs, the OdOr of
which was so tempting to their olfac
tories and appetiteS, they tasted it;
liked it and took some of the cooked
pigs to their parents and they in turn
to their neighbOrs. The news spread
crowds of Chinese, men, women and
children gathered around the pile of
ashes and tiShed out the remainder of
the pigs and the burnt body of the old
mother pig and Toasted. For years
the Chinese followed a custom of as
sembling at fixed periods around rice
straw stack, each family bringing a
pig or hog SO secured that it could not
get away, piled them on the straw
and fired it, after which they indulg-
ed in a gOrmandiZing feast of roast
pork. This fashion prevailed for ma
ny years before any one thought of
the idea of killing and dressing the
hogs, and afterward cooking the meat
IN civilized fashion.
