Day Letter Service.

With a view of increasing the use
fulness of our service and affording
patrons of the Western Union Tele-
graph Co., an opportunity to send by
telegraph at rates in plain language of
more or less urgency for which our
Night Letter service is too slow, it has
been decided, to establish new class
of service known as DAY Letters"
commencing March LIST, between all
Western Union Offices IN the United
States.
AS soon as the consent of the Ca
madam authorities can be secured the
service will probably be extended to
Great Northwestern and Western
Union offices in Canada and the Mari
time province.
Messages for transmission as Day
Letters will be accepted at any hour
for delivery upon receipt at destina-
ton, but they will be secondary to
regular day messages in the order of
their transmission and delivery. The
rates will be 1-2 times the Night
initial charges for each 10 words in
Letter rates for so words, plus Is tn
excess of so. Code languages will not
be accepted at these rates.
Day Letters may be filed by tele-
phone or will be collected on call in the
usual way and will be handled the same
as ordinary day messages in all re-
spects, except that as stated they will
at all times be subordinateed to the let
ter in the order of transmission and
delivery, They must be written in plain
English. Code language is not per-
missible. The rates adopted for this
service are made possible only by the
utilization of what would otherwise be
surplus facilities between intermittent
points of more urgent traffic and by
less specialized handling.

make money right here at home, ready
to your hand, all that is lacking is the
investment of little capital, and con-
siderable confidence in the paying quail
tiles of home industries.
These opportunities will not be open
to US always, our chances are rapidly
slipping from us. While we are sitting
bemoaning our fate, neighboring towns
are erecting the very industries which
we should and could have, and thus
bringing closer to us market, and
thereby reaping the harvest which we
should reap. Everytime a factory
goes up in Richmond, Danville or any
of the nearby towns, it curtails our
chances just that much.
Shall we continue to be simply a
feeder for other more prosperous COM
munities, or shall we reap the reward
of our own labors?
Wake up Garrard County Develop
ment Association, you started out
with great promises for the Land of
Now. Up to the present, none of
them have been fulfilled. Are you go
ing to do any better in the future, or
must we look to some other source for
the development of Garrard county
resources?

Senator Bailey Resigns.

Just at the closing of the 61st Cong
ress Senator Bailey of Texas approach
ed Vice President Sherman and notified
him of his intention of resigning his
seat in the Senate, and requested Mr..
Sherman to notify the Senate. "Sun-
ny Jim" refused to have any thing to
do with the matter and urged Mr.. Bail
ey to reconsider his action, whereupon
Mr.. Bailey wired his resignation to
Gov. Colquitt of Texas. The Cover
nor promptly wired his refusal to ac-
cept the resignation, asking for pat
iculars, and urging Senator Bailey to
reconsider.
Senator Bailey became miffed at some
of his Democratic colleagues because,
as he claimed, their action in voting for
the endorsement of the Arizona con-
stitution which contained the Initia-
tive, Referendum and Recall clauses,
which clauses the Senator denominated
as ''Populistic Heresies'', was a re-
Election on, and rebuke to him. Upon
their assurance that such was not in
tended, but that they simply endorsed
the measure because it met with their
approval, and that nothing personal
was intended, he wired his withdrawal
of his resignation to Gov. Colquitt and
the incident was closed.
Senator Baily is a very able man, and
at one time was very useful man in
the ranks of the Democratic party, but
of late years he has drifted further and
further from the democratic principles,
until now he has reached the place
where he cannot tolerate the differing
with his views even if those views be
undemocratic.
We wonder if the gentleman from
Texas took into consideration that had
he been taken at his word and his re-
signation accepted, that his place could
have easily been filled, if not by a
more able man, then at least by bet
ter democratic.
Or. does Mr.. Bailey think he is in
dispensable to the Democratic ranks
in the United States Senate?

l & N Is Interested.

Mr.. L. A. Dwell, Travelling Freight
Agent for the L & N railroad was here
this week investigating and gathering
data and statistics as to the amount of
tobacco grown in Garrard county. His
visit was for the purpose of advising
his Company as to the feasibi ity of
establishing a loose leaf tobacco market
here, and if his investigation proved
satisfactory, his company would inter-
est themselves in trying to secure buy
ers and establishing a market here
MIR. Dwell was very favorably impress
ed with the conditions here, and while
he did not express himself, it is more
than probably that he will make fav-
orable report. 1t is definitely known
that loose leaf market and re-drying
plant will be established south of the
Kentucky river within the next year by
the American Tobacco Co, and with our
own advantages and claims, coupled
with such a strong factor working in
our behalf as the L & N, it is pretty
sure to amount to something. Let US
hope so at least.
1t was through the efforts and rep
resentation of Mr.. J. M. Farra the
president of the Development Associa-
ton that this matter was brought to
the attention of the L & N people, and
they were shown where they were los
ing much revenue by the tobacco grown
in Garrard county finding no home
market. This of course caused them
to get busy.
We are now ready to make partial
apologies to the Development Associa-
ton for the insinuation that they were
dead, we now think they were only
sleeping, and we hope that now they
are once more aroused to action that
they will continue in their efforts for
the good of the town and county.

Dangerous Fire.

What might have proven a danger
GUS fire was prevented Friday evening
by heroic efforts of the Fire Company
ably assisted by few citizens who
have fought fires in Lancaster so often
that they have become adopts at the
business.
At $50 o'clock flames were discover
ed issuing from the cornice around the
roof of the Citizens National Bank,
the alarm was quickly given, and in
vestigation proved the fire to be in the
attic, between the ceiling of the Ma
sonic Lodge room and the roof. A
line of hose was quickly run up and in
the hands of fearless and experienced
men the blaze was soon extinguished;
not however, before considerable dam
age had been done, the roof and COR
nice was damaged, partition in the
lodge room was burned, and the carpet
and some of the furnishings were dam
aged by water. Quite lot of damage
was also done to the Record office,
which. is on the second floor of the
Bank building. Machinery and stock
was damaged by water, but not so Sc
rious as to materially interfere with
business. Some damage was also done
in the Bank by water running through.
All damage was fully covered by insur-
ance. The origin of the fire is I'm
known.

Congress Adjourns.

The 61st Congress of the United Sta
ties passed into the history Saturday.
The last moments in both houses were
marked by stirring scenes; in the
Senate by the wiring by Senator Joe
Bailey of his resignation to the Cover
nor of Texas, which was afterward,
however; recalled; in the House by a
lively tilt between the outgoing Speak
er, "Uncle Joe" Cannon and Repres-
entative Ben Johnson of Kentucky.
The Canadian Reciprocity Treaty
failed of mention in the final hours and
the question of its passage was never
even suggested. Immediately after the
closing President Taft issued a procla-
nation calling together the gid. Con-
gress in in extraordinary session at
at noon on April 4th, for the special
purpose of the consideration of the
Reciprocal treaty, which the old con-
gress failed to pass.
The legislation of any moment enact
ed by the 61st. Congress may be sum-
med up in very few words: Creating of
a commission to investigate Alaskan
conditions; appropriating $4,000, 900 for
the fortifcation of the Panama Canal;
creating two new forest reserves; max
ing Robert E. Peary of North Pole
fame, an Admirable, providing for the
building of two new battle ships, a
few others of less importance, the pass
age of the sundry appropriation bills
absolutely necessary to the running of
the Government.
A total disregard was evinced for the
wishes of the chief executive in regard
to the passage of the reciprocity treaty
in fact every effort was made, to pre-
sent it coming up for passage in the
Senate; now with Democratic House
and barely Republican majority in
the Senate, the President, will ask
them to ratify the making of the treaty
between commissions from the United
States and Canada.
Truly a peculiar state of affairs, a
Democratic Congress to do for him
what a Congress with a majority of
his own party failed to do.

Money For School.

The Trustees of the Lewis Y. Leavell
fund have just turned over to the trus-
tees of the school $314O. 70 which is the
1910 net income off of the amount in
vested by the school out of the money
left by the late Lewis Y. Leavell. The
executor of the estate has turned over
to the trustees $357OO. and the balance
due the school is invested in stocks not
yet sold. The school trustees now have
money to buy the childrena play ground
and if. they can buy one reasonable, we
think the money would be well invested
but of course they cannot afford to pay
an enormous price; better build large
gymnasium which the children ought to
have at any rate.

A Card.

Editor Record:-I am thankful to the
press and many friends, for kind men,
ton of my name in connection with the
legislative race, but since my friends
are not as insistent as the friends of
some of the aspirants, and have kindly
consented to let me do as please about
the matter, and for the futher reason
that two gentlemen have already an
nounced, either of whom can do good
part in enacting much needed legisla-
ton, hereby decline to enter the race,
This conclusion will remove all fear of
defeat, which would have constantly
been uppermost in my mind if 1 had
made the race. A friend suggested
that my name had been mentioned often
enough, in connection with the race, to
disgrace me anyway, and l had as well
run but we differ about that.
The election of a United States Sen
ator makes the office referred to very
desirable one. Respectfully,
M. d. Hughes.

was instigated by charges preferred
against him by Clifford Pinchot, at that
time Chief Forester. Pinchot charged
that Ballinger aided the Guggenheim-
Morgan syndicate in land grab in
Alaska. The Investigating Committee
exonerated Ballinger, but there was a
great deal of talk of the exoneration
being a ''whitewash'' and it is thought
that this had great deal to do with
the Secretary's resignation.

SERIOUS RIOT BY
 GREEK MINERS

Salt Lake, Utah, February 6.-An armed uprising of Greek coal miners at Wentworth. Carbon county Utah, was' suppressed today after four men had been killed one fatally wounded flying bullets.
 Tonight rioters, nearly 200 in number, are retreating through the hills in scat tered bands with Helper Station, on the Rio 'Grande railway, as their ob- jective. Posses numbering about 300 men altogether are chasing the Greeks to prevent their escape.
 As the latter are armed further fighting is expected.
 The trouble began last Friday when the Greek miners complained that dis crimination was shown in the weigh ing of coal Tin. favor of Amerit ans. App peal from the mine superintendent that they appoint their own weighers failed to give satisfaction.
 This morning the Creeks took to the foothills and began desultory fire on the Americans, who were going to work In attempting to dislodge the sharp shooters, Deputy Sheriff Thomas Jackson was killed and another deputy was fatally wounded. When two of the Greeks had been killed. one mortally wounded and five others captured, the rest took to flight.
 The Greeks were finally dislodged tnls afternoon when Sheriff Keller made an assault with 30 picked men.
 In the meantime the sheriff increased his force by arming American residents. He also sent appeals for aid to the sher- if and chief of police of Salt Lake G ty..
 Thirty officers left today on special tyain. arriving at Wentworth at o'clock tonight.
 As only part of the rioters had guns and as they are outnumbered by officers, it is thought the Creeks will try to get out of the district and fight only to avoio arrest
 Advices received late tonight reduce the death list to one with another mortally wounded Jaclkson is dead, and the oyins man is a Greek striker. Several otner t,reeks are slightly wounded
 1 A part of the Greek colony is said to be not in sympathy with the strike ana have asked the sheriff for protecuon f, on their riotous countrymen

New York. February 6.-Miss Helen yiyien Gould and Col John Grahame Hope de la Poer Horsley Beresford, Baron Deces, she in short sklrt' ne m a sack suit, walked through a rehearsal today of their marriage at St, Barthoio- news church at o'clock tomorrow art ernoon. Ten minutes before Miss Gould arrived at the church an iron awning frame over the doorway fell, strlKi woman on the head. She was not scrl- ously hurt and the accident was withheld from the bride-to-be.
 None but the bridal party, the six bridesmaids, the two pages, the ushers' the best man, the bride and groom them selves and their intimate relatives, were admitted, but a crowd of idle, inqulsltiVe reporters, photographers and cranks jostled about the church railings Police precautions against the usual scrimmage at New York fashionable wedding Will be more thorough tomorrow.
 The greenery was placed in this after- noon, but the color scheme of the floral decorations is being kept a secret.
 People will just have to guess,' said Miss Vivien, her face sparkling with fun. None of the bridesmaids yet has seen the wedding dress, that, too, is being kept a secret. 'Its from New York, and it's from Paris and it's white and that's really all there is to it, you know said Kingdom GoIf1d after the rehearsal.
 There will be no public display of the wedding gifts, but one estimate has it that they number 300 and represent value of S10O,0O0. The cost of trousseau and the bridesmaids gowns is placed at sSO, 600 and the cost of the church decorations at $20,000.
 Miss Gould Is IS and Lord Decies A. She is the second daughter of George J. Gould and a granddaughter of Jay Gould. Lord Decies is a member of the Irish peerage has been g years in the British army and Is devoted horseman.
