PTiGhaTd and Vaughan are
Sincere Advocates.
The Lines are Drawn in the Legisla-
tive Races on the Wet and Dry
Issue.

Jerome T. Prichard, for State
Senator, is an avowed temperance
man and it is the solemn duty of
every voter who is honestly and sin
cerely against liquor to vote for
him. The liquor men are fighting
for every inch of ground possible
in the Legislature of Kentucky. A
vote for Prichard and Vaughan is
practically direct vote for the
County Unit bill.
Last week we asked some very
pointed questions of Giles Wright,
the opponent of Mr.. Prichard. He
has not answered the questions and
he dare not do so. This is not an
electioneering scheme. Mr.. Wright
knows what it means.
We ask him if he did not sign a
private agreement with the liquor
men to vote their way in the Leg
islature. Then, later, when it SEEM
ed necessary to assume an opposite
position before the temperance peo-
pie, did he not, under private
agreement with the liquor men,
issue vote-catching statement
claiming that he would support tenn
perance issues? Also, did he not
chastise his son for taking part in
the temperance parade in Ashland
on the morning of the local option
election few months ago?
Can any sincere temperance ad-
vocate allow himself to be caught
in a trap set by the liquor men?
Look what they did to Brig Har,
ris, of Boyd county, the only can.
didate for the Republican nomina,

man. When the convention met II

DROPPED DEAD.
Henry c. Evans Has a Sudden Call
Into Eternity.

This community was startled on
Monday morning last by the news
that Henry Evans, an elderly man
who resided not far from James
Wilson'S, had dropped dead in
.Compton's blacksmith shop, in the
same neighborhood.
Mr.. Evans had gone to the shop
to procure a couple of bolts. He
got them and took them home. He
returned shortly afterward, and
saying they were not the right size
he asked for others. He stood near
the front door waiting for Compton
to make the exchange, and Just as
they were about TO be given to him
he sank to the floor. He never
spoke, but died in a very few min
utes. Medical aid was summoned
as quickly as possible but Mr.. Evans
was dead when DR.. Burgess arrived.
He probably died of heart failure.
No inquest was held. The body was
Immediately carried to the residence
of the dead man, and on the follow
ing day it was taken to his former
home for interment.
Mr.. Evans came to Louisa from
the Laurel fork of Blaine, about
five miles from the mouth OF Hood.
He had been married twice, his Sec
ond wife being a Mrs. Clevinger.
Mr.. Evans left several children, all
grown. Mrs. Chris. Nicewander and
Chilt Evans, of Louisa, are his
children. He was over 70 years OF
age. .....

Ing Mr.. Hinkle from childhood can
say to the voters OF Lawrence coun-

that In the person OF Mr.. Hinkle
you have before you man Of ster-

son of Mr. Hinkle be inducted into
