DEMOCRATIC.

The Temperance laws as they ap-
pear on the statute books to-day
are creations Of the Democratic
party. The County Unit Bill had
its origin with Democratic ~ena-
tor. j. W. Cammack. in the Sen
ate and was supported by a Demo
cratic majority Of that branch of
the Legislature. In the House the
County Unit Bill found a most
earnest supporter in Judge NJ. NJ.
Redwine. an enthusiastic Democrat
from the county of Elliott, who
labored continuously and passed
the bill by large mojority. In
each branch Of the legislature this
bill found its passage by way OF
the Democratic party; the present
administration, now Democratic
nominees. pushed it along, and
when passed, became law by the
signature of Democratic Cover

liberal estimate. but one-half the

4 Modern PIdnt--fine Service.
The Best Water.

The Mt. Sterling Water. Light
and Ice plant is comparatively new.
is modernized and no other city in
Kentucky or out of it can lay
claims to better one.
The power house has been en-
larged and engines. boilers. cleo
trio motors. ETC.. of modern makes
with the newest inventions have
been added. The new wing to the
east will have two engines. one
with 500 and the other with $50
horse power and the generator is
of sufficient capacity to accommo-
date an electric car line between
here and Paris and here and Clay
City, and this enterprising COM
pany stands ready to join any com
pany who would construct and
equip an electric line by utilizing
their power. 1t would be COM
parative easy matter now to
make of Mt. Sterling a hub city.
An effort will be made to interest
enough business men who want
electric day power to Justify the
company in providing a day cur
rent.
This plant has on their pay roll
about 30 men, through whom is
distributed not less than $500 per
week.
The present management Is ac-
ceptable to the people. The SER
vice is as near perfect as can be
made and company and people will
doubtless labor to the mutual in
terest of each other.
The water plant is fine one.
Water is in abundance and wholse-
some. With these plants, facto-
ries and various paying industries
could be added.

LET JUSTICE PREVAIL.

The man who would without
cause take the life of another IS a
murderer and for this outrage the

man who by the vile seductive
ness of his brute force destroys
virtue has committed deed far
worse than taking life. He is a
murderer OF character and for such
an outrage there is only an unwrit-
ten law commensurate with the
crime. Justice to the guilty

where the chips may fall. Purge

Shakespeare way down in the
past was wise when he said words

BRIGHTER DAY.

Great social reforms DO not come
hastily. Years of agitation, en-
treaty, and patient suffering are
sometimes necessary. People must
be educated. 1t is said that in the
last 30 local option contests in Ken

ried only 6. The advance step has
been remarkable, yet brighter
day is dawning. Love will tri-

FREE DELIVERY OF NAIL

y
test of perhaps half dozen citl-
zens the City Council declined TO
aid in arranging for the free deliv-
cry Of mail in Mt. Sterling. to
which under the rules of the Post
Office Department we are now en-
titled. And some people wonder
why Mt. Sterling does not pro-
gre>,.
/ The business men who made this
protest DO not by any manner OF
means represent the sentiment OF
the people of Mt. Sterling. The
statement made by one or two of
them that if we had free mail de-
/ livery the people would not come
/ down town a. often as they do
now. and would not buy as much.
| is 50 absolutely ridiculous that we
/ do not see how sensible people
could entertain it for moment.
Free mail delivery does not furnish
food and raiment and other house
hold necessities. \ man who
would make that sort of an obiec
ton ought to be bored for the sim
piles.
80 far as our knowledge goes, no
town in the United States, ever
declined free mail delivery when it
was entitled to it.
1t will furnish employment to at
least four carriers at an annual
salary of $500 each. In plain
English. the surplus which this of
flee now sends to Washington will
be paid to home people and spent
at home. This aside from the con-
venience to the many people who
do not reside and do business in a
square of the Postoffice. We I'M
derstand that the latter are the
people who are doing the object

but the whole people. They were
not elected TO see how CHEAP they
could run the town, but how WELL
they could run it. and at the same
time stay within the income.
When they talk about brick
streets and sewers and then decline
to make a small expenditure in
order to give more people work to
do and add to the comfort and CON
venience of the people, it is enough
to make us the laughing stock of

We hope the City Council will
look at this matter a little more

Council that the citizens of Mt,
Sterling have other friends and
supporters among journalists in
addition to the ADVOCATE, who
spoke her sentiments weeks ago.
Time in going to and from the post
office counts for something. The
saving annually in box rents is
worth much to the citizens of av-

GRAY LOSES CASE
 AGAINST L. & N.
The Supreme Court Decides That the Road Has Legal Right To op-
 crate the North and South.

Montgomery, November 2.-(Special.)- )- According to a decision of the supreme court handed down today the Louisville and Nashville railroad is legally author ized to operate and control the South and North railroad. A decision of the city court of Montgomery denying the right of the said Louisville and Nashville to control the minor corporation, as a part of which was a judgment of custer, Is re- versed
 The case is that of Henry B. Gray and others vs. the Louisville and Nashville. Charge was made that the larger com- pany had not secured the proper per mission for such action from the state of Alabama. Judge A. D. Layre held with the plaintiff and issued an order to the Louisville and Nashville to surrender control of the South and North at once.
 The Louisville and Nashville employees continuing the operation of the road, they were cited to show cause why they should not be adjudged in contempt of court. writ of prohibition was secured from the supreme court and the whole controversy went to the docket of that court for ad- indication, which is contained in the de- cision of today.

part that Alderman Lewis had asked to be informed as to just who the Robinson Amusement company, who are now hold ing a show in this city, were. He said he thought that they had taken out a license for six shows to do business, but he thought there were several more also doing business. It appears that in noting the reply of Mayor Bush that he was msquoted. He made some remark about having had a talk with some of the peo- pie that were desrous of conducting novelty stands on the outside of the grounds. It was written sideshows in- stead of novelty stands, and 1t was also reported that MT. E. A. Little had re- ceived q certain sum of money from those people for the privilege of run ming the shows. The show is being given , under the auspices of the Eiks and Eagles of this city and Mr. Little is one of the Elk committee. He received the money from the people all right for the privi- lege, but he told them that in order to run the stands that they would have to get permission from the city authorities This he thought they had done, but 1t seems that there was misunderstanding all around. The above is written in jus tice to MT. Little, who took their money in good faith to go to the lodge fund for the annual Christmas tree, and he was under the impression that the peo- pie had made satisfactory arrangements with the city to conduct the stands.
 A good crowd attended the concert given at the Beavers hall this evening by the Clark Concert company. This is he first of lyceum courses that are to be given in the city during the winter. The con cert was very acceptable to all who at tended, and 1t is thought that they will prove to be very popular.

Personal and General.

Word was received in the city this aft ernoon announcing the death in Mobile of Mrs. Knox, who was formerly Miss Genie Collins. Before her marriage Mrs. Knox resided in this city and had a. host of friends who will regret to learn of her death. She had been i'll for some time and little hope has been entertained for her recovery for the past several months. She was the daughter of T. R. Collins of Mobile and the sis ter of John Collins of Birmingham.
 The shoot to be given by the Besse- mer Gun club on Thanksgiving Day promises to be one of the most success ful ever given by the club. Most of the arrangements have been completed, and it is expected that there will be a number of shots from other places on hand during the day.
 The many friends of Ewing Hines will regret to learn that he is quite III at the home of his brother. T. A. Hines. Jr The young man has been i'll for the past few weeks, suffering from a severe attack of fever, but his condition has grown worse within the past day or two.
 A minstrel was given at the Imperial theatre this evening and the show was a good one, all around. The talent was all local, and the work of Messrs. Bennett, Rogers and Marcus in the different stunts pulled off was particularly good.
 George Bancroft had the misfortune to lose very valuable bull dog on last Sunday. The dog is white, with liver marks on each ear and has a bobbed tall It is thought that the dog was taken away on the North Bessemer car which left Bessemer at o'clock Sunday after noon. MT. Bancroft prized the dog very highly and he will pay liberal reward to amy one that can furnish information that will lead to his recovery.
 A mine party was given at Brookwood last evening and the affair was very much enjoyed Several people from this city went down and returned to the city this morning The affair was given by Miss Martin, and upon the return delicious re- treatments were served. Those in tho party were Miss Pride of Tuscaloosa, Miss Chapman of Perry. Fla, Miss Howell, and Mr. D. c. Van Merkenstein, MT. Harley of Birmingham. Dr. Pollnitz of St. Louis and H. H. Melton of this city. The party was chaparoned by MT. and Mrs. Culverhouse.
