WHISKY DESTROYED.

day gives the following account of
how consignment of liquor was
seized and smashed by the w. Q.
L. U.ladies, led by the wife of the
mayor, and citizens of, the town:
"This place has gust undergone
an exciting and significant expert
enee that wellillustrates the sent
iment of this community on the
liquor question. A body of repre-
sentative men and women yester-
dey swooped down upon a consign-
ment OF wet goods slowed away in
"a box car for local distribution
and smashed upaand destroyed the
entire outfitto the amount of $500.
"On Friday it was learned THAT
"a large shipment of whisky had
been made on the local freight by
w. ii. Lancaster, one of the closed
outsaloonkeepers Of Jackson. The
matter was widely discussed, and
resulted in a large numberyof the
ladies of the local w. C. Il. u.
coming together Saturday morn
.ing. their numbers being augment
ed by others not members of the
organization.
Nv. III. Lancaster lives here and
in response to a telephone call
granted the ladies conference in
the house of the Stewart Drug Co.
Mr.. Lancaster stated that. he had
about twenty 'or thirty gallons Of
liquor; that it was his property;
that the ladies were meddling with
affairs which did not concern hem;
that there we're men here tovattend
to business. etc.
"Mrs. j. w. Harvey, an active
worker in the w. G. Il. sU., was
spokesman for her side of the
question, andnot only touchingly
appealed to Mr.. Lancaster, bat
told him some plain truths, be-
sides having the others present
join her in prayer that they
might be rightly directed.
"Whereupon the ladies, Mr..
Lancas ter, Revs. j. nj. Pickens
and e. A. Cole and others repaired
to the depot, where the car stood
on the track. 1T is stated that up
on direct offer to buy the liquor,
Mr.. Lancaster refused to sell, on
the plea that it was unlawful to
sell whisky in Lexington and it
would get him into trouble. How
ever, the car was entered, the bot
ties of liquor handed out and de-
liberately smashed. Mrs. Harvey
made e talk and taking the first
bottle, handed it to Mrs. G. G.
Gathing1 wife of the mayor) to be
broken.
"The inventory kept by Town
Recorder John w. Steward show
ed: Twenty-one gallons of whis-
ky and brandy in jugs, 120 quart
bottles of whisky and brandy, 2l9
pints of liquor and LAG half pints,
estimated to be worth about $500
at retail.
"The movement Of the ladies has
the endorsement of the better peo-
pie Of the town, who have suffered
long and rather patiently the un-
lawful sale of whisky in the town.
Recorder Stewart has agreed
to pay Mr.. Lancaster for the de-
stroyed liquors, and if Lancaster
accepts the money there may be
interesting developments whent the
grand Jury conveues in June"

HONEST BUSINESS" MEN.

The examination of Morse, the ma
nipulator of the ice stock scandal,
shows that he gave out sugarplums
to Schwab, Guggenheim. Gates and
lot # other magnates, and the COM
mon herd rushed in, thinking that
whatever these eminent business men
endorsed must be a good thing. The
common herd found themselves neat
ly trimmed, sheared to finish,
while the magnates had not risked
a dollar-had merely accepted the
sugar. They allowed their great
names to be used as a bait for large
school of rank suckers.
And yet these men are typical Ct
tho5e business leaders whom ii was
the rage couple or three years ago
to proclaim as the only men fit to be
entrusted with the guidance of the
country. Had the Morse dodge been
played by scoundrels Of the ordinary
grade there would have been men in
the penitentiary long ago. as is proved
by numerous examples. The big
financial magnates of the country are
on par with the men who give away
things to farmers, taking receipts
that afterwards turn out to be prom
issory notes. The Morse matter was
of a piece with many other deals
that have not exploded and been de-
tected and exposed. And yet there
are men and papers which think, CT
profess to believe, that this is the only
class of men to be trusted with the
control of the country and the in
terests Of the people. The proposed
election of Taft and Wall street is an
other chapter of the same perfidious
kind.

THE DRIFT GOES ON.

= There is one singular feature about
the straw votes on the presidency
which are being taken. or alleged to
be taken, and scattered over the
country. Without exception, so far
as we have noticed. those periodicals
which are at the same time printing
highly paid pages of republican ad-
vertising matter make a showing that
is a least favorable TO Taft. The
newspapers which are honestly en-
deavoring to get at and print the
truth make showings almost equally
favorable to Bryan. Take the class
Ct periodicals which are supporting
Taft, and their eireulatlons are chiefly
among the classes Of people who are
republican in politics. Add to this the
temptation to earn the money paid
them ostensibly for advertising, and
you readily account for the trend OF
their predictions and shcwings.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, whose
proprietor has always been bitterly
hostile to Bryan. is fair, and its re-
searches in Ohio make it almost sure
that Bryan win carry that state. And
it makes no account whatever of any
change in the negro vote of Ohio,
which will materialize to degree not
now nor heretofore expected by either
party. The most noticeable feature
of all personally conducted canvasses
the country over is the very small
proportion of shift of votes from
Bryan to Taft, from democracy 10 re-
or any of the side par
ties. This is especially true among
the laboring men of the country. In
many large shops there has not been
found single Taft convert, while
many working men who have been
voting the republican ticket announce
their intention Of voting for Bryan.
And, by the way, we do not recall
seeing any canva. among the mil
lion and a half OF unemployed men
in the country who had work during
the campaign OF four years ago. 1t
looks like a landslide too powerful to
be arrested by the most frantic re-
publican endeavor.
