Democratic victory in kentucky

Carlisle. KY; Sept. 1.-THE formal
opening here today of the campaign
of Kentuckys Democratic nominees,
developed into what Governor Thorn
as RI Marshall of Indiana, orator ofo.

thing he ever saw in the way of a POI
litical gathering.
The assembled guests of Nicholas
county's Democrats estimated at from
10000 t o 10000 over-1ower a twenty
acre field, heard Governor Marshall,
James B. McCreary, candidate for
Governor. Congressman Ollie James,
nominee for United States Senator,
and other nominees of the party dis
cuss State and national issues.
Governor Marshall followed Mr.. Nc
Creary urging Kentucky Democrats
to return their State to the Demo
cratic column. Democracy never was
SC united he declared. He predicted
a certain Democratic victory nation
wide next year. Last year he said
ten States sent Democrats instead of
Republicans to congress. He pre-
dicted an even greater revolution
that would net only elect a Demo-
cratic President but also make both
houses of Congress democratic.

why Bailey Failed.

Bailey is a big mana very big
man. In fact, a majority Of the peo-
pie probably regard him as having
the greatest intellect Of any man in
the United States Senate. And yet
he has failed-failed ~derlorably, as
even his friends must admit. 1t is
interesting to inquire the reason. We
don't know that anybody has put his
finger more accurately on the spot
than the editor of Life in an article
publiched just before Bailey's an
~nouncement:
s'The trouble seems to be that he
has no driving Inspiration inside OF
him. He has been no vision. 1t
seems to be with Bailey as William
Archer says it was with Diax: He
had all the makings OF a great man
except greatness. Bailey is not
great. but he might be if only a sufh-
GENTLY penetrating breeze of consecra
ton should blow through him. He
has in him much of the machinery OF
a great man, but it is clogged by too
much Bailey"
This we believe, is the true explain
With all his giant intellect
and his gifts OF oratory, Bailey had
eansecrated to no great that
him out ofhimself and lifted him
beyond all purely personal ambitions.
Where there is novision, the peo-
bic perish" said the Wise Man OF
sid and where there is nc vision the
perishes also. The definition OF
2hillins Brooks furnishes a test OF
by which all men may be
safely judged:
mo man has come to true greatness
vhoahas not felt in some degree that
lis life belongs tc his race, and that
what God gives him. He gives him
or mankind"

7O-Year-OId Woman Again Cuts
Teeth.

Gaffney, Sept. 15.-It has been
said they the day of miracles is past,
but it would seem that something
near to a miracle has actually come
to pass in Gaffney This statement
may seem to be rather remarkable,
but the following is a remarkable
condition of affairs.
The bare fact. plainly stated, is
that Mrs. L. G. McGuinn, who lives
in the zoos on Limestone street, 20
a and some months old, without
teeth for IA years, is now growing
a full set of good teeth.
A reporter yesterday went tic. the
home of Mrs. McGuinn and asked
concerning the teeth. Granny" as
the old lady is known, stand most
emphatically, when questioned by the
reporter, that she was indeed grow
ing new teeth. and when some doubt
was expressed by the n~ews-reporter
Granny very willingly opened her
mouth and showed eight fully devel-
oped teeth. The swollen condition
of the gums seemed to indicate that
still more were on the way and all
indications are that she will shortly
have a full set.

Standard Oil Company Paps $4,000
600 in Dividends.

New York. Sept. 10. -Stockhold-
ers of the old Standard Oil Company
TODAY received checks representing
the last dividends that will be dis
bursed by the great corporation.
Under the recent decision OF the
Supreme Court of the United States
orderingi the dissolution of the COM
pany the old organizations must be
broken up before the end OF the rear.
Consequently the final dividends for.
the year will not be paid by the OLE
company. In. the dissolution OF the
parent concern the stockholders are
tc receive stock in the subsidiary
companies equivalent to their hold
ings in the old corporation. 1t is
not considered likely that the stock
holders will suffer any loss Of income
with the change in organization.
Since the organization of the Stand
ard Oil Company in 1882 down 10 the
final dividend paid today the stock
holders have received dividends
amounting to the enormous sum OF
SOP, 900, 900. For the past eight
years the company has paid to the
holders of its 500, 900, 900 of stock an
average of $4O,O 100000 per annum.
IN 1900 and 1901 it paid $4,000, oUO,
md in the year following $45,0O0,Oo -
The dividends, however were mLcl
less than the total earnings. The
original value of the property has
been increased greatly by the rein
vestment of a large share of tac
earnings for the extension of its
business and the acquisition of secur-
tiles.
Although the Standard Oil Com
pany never issued an annual report,
r made other returns regarding its
ability to pay dividends, and the high
ate maintained made the company's
stock sell at from four to six times it's
ar value. The highest price ever
cached was in 1901, when it was pay
ing 48 per cent. per anum. The stock
