was expected to return on the 4
o'clock car Saturday afternoon and
her nephew. Gre. e Hypshire, was
there to meet her. She did not
come on that car, however, and it
was thought that she had stayed
with relatives in the city. She
came. however, on the D O'Clock
car. leaving it at the intersection
of the road to her home one and
one a'f miles from car line. Her
nephew supposed she would spend
the night in Lexington and re-
turned home. As no one was at
the station to meet her she with
her bundles of presents started to
walk home. The night was cold
and she evidently became numb
and stopped. Her dead body was
found Sunday morning by hen
nephew who again went to meet
her.

Lucy Darby was born in the
Lexington asylum, her mother
having been a patient of the insti-

until she was transferred to Hop

case was IA strong demonstration of
the influence of the law of heredity

IS our COUNTRY SAFf2
No Republic Can Long Survive
Unjust and Corrupt Elections |,

II Is not surprising that Secre-
tary Taft should serve on Cuba 20
emphatic a warning AS he did in
his special report TO Congress o.
the Cuban affair. If the insur-
tectionaly habit persists is the
MN he puts it. IF again the Gu
ljaDs divide into armed forces, the
strong hand of our Government
will have to be imposed at what
ever cost to life and property and
permanent peace should then en-
sue because It would be of our
keeping"
The meaning is clear that, in the
view of Secretary Taft. one more
insuirection down in Cuba means
that the United States Govern
ment will intervene, not for tempo
rary but for permanent occupa-
ton.
And what is the lesson of Cuba's
troublesl And what will insure
|. Cuba's peace and integrity in flu
sturel
Fhe lesson is that no republic
can long survive unjust and cor
rupt elections. which furnish the
vitality and machinery of Govern
ment. To insure Cuba's peace and
integrity in future Cuba must have
fair and free elections. There
must be proper laws for municipal
Governments, for elections and
for the independence of the ju-
dietary and they must be enforced
The lapse from rel ublican ideals
and the ascendancy of corruption
wrought the havoc Of last year
and they will destroy again.
Let us be wise and do our littl,
part ~ seeing that in our city and
county We practice fairness anc
honesty in elections. Corruption
will dishonor the entire State
when each county tolerates frauds
