The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1911-10-04

Although every Democratic
speaker, and every Democratic
newspaper has asked Judge
O'Rear to express himself as to
whether or not he approved the
92, 100000 dollar increase on the
taxable value of farm lands asses
sed by the present Republican Ad-
ministration, in two years, he is as
silent as the tomb on the subject.
The platform which he and Caleb
Powers wrote endorses Wilson's
Administration, and this was one
OF the conspicuous acts of that
Administration. 1t is fixed pol
icy of the Republican party to
take from the poor and give to the
rich, and when Governor Wilson's
Board of Equalization decreased
the taxes on the banks and in
creased them on the farm lands,
they were only following the prac-
tees of their party,

this city was in attendance each
day. The base ball game Friday

GREAT FOUR MILE RACE
To be Held at Louisville Next
Saturday---the First in
Many Years.

The great four-mile Endurance
race will be held at Louisville
next Saturday and promises to be
one of the greatest contests seen
on the turf for many years. 1t
was first thought that ten starters
would face the barrier, but the
entries have been withdrawn I'M
til only about five or six will start
in the great race. The race will
be worth over 100000 to the
winner, besides a 81, 100000 gold
cup, which has been donated by
the Racing Commission. 1t is
thought that a record breaking
crowd will be present.
At this early date it is thought
that Nadzu, owned by BedwelI,
the California owner, will be the
favorite, although tirman and one
or two others will receive a good
play,

Cured about one-half mile east of
Winchester on the q. & o. last
Friday evening between trains No.
SO and extra No. 664, Peter NJ.
Eggleston, of Lexington, conduct
or of train No. 80, was killed in
stantly and Alfred Grubbs, of
Ashland, was so seriously injured
that he was taken to the Good
Samaritan Hospital, Lexington,
Saturday morning. The failure
of the crew of train No. 80 to have
out a f1agman, or the failure of
the engineer of the extra train to
see the signal lamps was said to be
the cause of the accident. The
track was badly torn up and much
damage was done to the engine
and cars. All trains on the g.. &
o. were forced to run over the L.
& E. track Friday night and Sat-
urday morning. thereby causing
them to be several hours late.

Rear Admiral Winfield Scott
Schley, retired, fell dead on the
streets of New York Monday aft.

death is attributed to cerebral
hemorrhage, which attacked him

Admiral Schley was the hero OF
the battle off Santiago, in which
the Spanish fleet, under Cervera
was annihilated on July 4, 1898,

FISCAL COURT
Goes On Record As Opposed to
Paying for Brick Streets
Around Court House.

At meeting of the Fiscal
Court, held yesterday, on motion
of 7. G. Quisenberry, seconded by
j. Mart Wells, the court directed
the County Clerk to notify the
City Council that the Fiscal Court
did not consider MONTGOMERY
county legally bound for any part
of the assessment published for
brick streets recently constructed
in Mt. Sterling and that it would
resist the collection of same. All
of the Magistrates and the County
Judge voted in favor of said mo-
ton except G. g. Thompson, who
voted no.
The amount OF the assessment
against the county is S3254.0S and
the city or brick street contractor
will no doubt bring suit at the
proper time and seek to enforce
payment.
We are informed that many
counties have paid similar assess
ments and that the direct ques-
ton has never been passed Oh by
the Court Of Appeals of this State.
Guthrie has not left town. Find

Buy d "MOuitOn Wireless" I'm
breIia,

We are showing a very attract
i've assortment of these popular
umbrellas this week.
The "Moulton Wireless is al
together different from the ordi-
nary umbrella in that it does
away with the wire usually used
for attaching the ribs to the rod.
The Moulton method of fasteniI y
positively prevents the ribs from
breaking and poking holes in the
cover. 1t is impossible for the
umbrella to turn wrong side out.
The Mouton detachable and in
Interchangeable handle enables you
to have both an everyday" UNI
brella and Sunday" one by
merely placing a more elaborate
handle on the same base when
used on special occasions. These
umbrellas will give you greater
service than any other kind. They
make excellent gifts. All styles
and prices.
