HALY FOR GOVERNORS
Of Percy Haly will be interested in
the statement from Washington that
while there he indicated that he was
more than a receptive candidate for
the Democratic nomination for COVER
nor. Wouldn't It be fine?
CHARGE AGAINST POWERS: -
The first direct charge we have seen
in the general abuse which is being
hurled around in the Edwards-Powers
race, comes from the Paintsville Her
aid, which alleges that Powers charg-
ed $500 for making a speech under
the auspices of the Republican COM
lnittee CT johnson County last fall
So far we have not seen denial Of
the charge. nor an explanation why
a man may not take pay for making
a speech.
BOYS WILD TALE:-A boy named
John T. Self. about sixteen years old,
bothered the Lexington police last
week with a troubled tale that in
July OF 1905 two men were murdered
and robbed on a circus train coming
from Morehead 10 Lexington. No con-
firmation could be found OF the story.
WILLIAMSBURG BURGLARY: -
Safe blowers, who are supposed 10
have been professionals cracked the
safe at the Williamsburg post office
last Thursday night and secured near
ly a thousand dollars worth of booty.
There were $4,000 two cent stamps,
$500 cash. and S345 other stamps.
EXPLOSION AT STEARNS:-
men were killed last week by an ex-
plosion in the Barthell mine, No.
at Stearns, KY, the scene of the
riots last Christmas. All the men
were Kentuckians Five left wives.
and four left children.
O'REAR CANDIDATE:-Jud o.
Rear, who is likely 10 be the next
Republican candidate for governor
especially since the fight will have
to be made largely along the line OF
temperance legislation, has announ-
ced that he would accept the nomina-
ton. Some time since he said he
would not work for the honor, and
he also repeats that statement.
PLAN MANY POOLS:-The farmers
of the Blue Grass, who have made
some money out of the tobacco pools,
are greatly smitten with the pooling
idea, and are now planning to work
pools on as many crops as possible.
Wool, hemp. corn, cattle, and other
things are mentioned as likely 10
come under the plans. While we hate
to discourage any one, we want 10

bacco pool was successful was because
the entire Burley crop was gathered
in and that there Is no other crop in
which this state has even very
large share A pool on other crops.
to succeed, would have TO include
the entire country. Also, as we show
ed last week. there is an immense
profit being made elsewhere by farm
ers who have adopted modern meth
DDS, and who would think a pool fool
ishness. II the Blue Grass farmers
would try to collect more knowledge
of how to work. they would not need
pools to make them rich. "Thar's
more in the man, than thar is in the
land"

London. october S.-NeXt week there
will be scene of great gaiety at
the beautiful little town of Arundel
in Surrey, where the Duke of Norfolk,
the premier peer Of England, reigns
supreme as feudal lord of the manor.
A tradesman of the town intends to
give a big tea party and general
treat. to all the children of the district,
and behind this apparently tame an
nouncement Is a story of almost in
credible stlnginess or thoughtlessness
which has aroused the little town to
a wild state of Indignation,
Some weeks ago the Duchess Of Nor
folk celebrated the birthday of her
.aby son, the Earl Of Arundel and
Surrey. and requested that all tho
| school children of the district be given
half-holiday. The liberated thil-
dren were then invited to spend the
afternoon at Arundel Castle Many Of
the youngsters came long distances to
attend the promised rare treat. After
the children had played on the grounds
for two or three hours the duchess
appeared and remarked. 3iS
Now you can all go home and have
! tea and then come back here and ruin
races.
The wretched children, tired, hungry
and thirsty, We're not offered even a
glass of water. OF course, many never
returned, but the few who did ran
races. The duchess, who had sent q
footman to the bank to change 10.

tributed the prizes. the first prize lje-
Ing slxpence.
The affair created such indignation
! In the town that the Mayor of Arundel,
tradesnan, invited all the same chill
dren to a party which cost him $50.
This rather deliberate hit appears to
have had no effact, hence a second tea
party is organized for next week. The
duchess was a daughter of the late
Lord Herries, and was raised in such
genteel poverty that, her friends say
she cannot even now realize she Is
