1886 Revised List Shows To Be Correct
Number OF Persons Who Found A
Watery Grave When Titanic
Went Down.

The Carpathia has landed in New
York with the survivors of the illfated
steamer Titanic which was rent asunder
and sunk by an iceberg while on her
maiden trip across the Atlantic from
Southampton to New York. The
survivors tell narrowing tales of that
awful night of terror, and but for the
bravery of the officers of the ship and
few of the passengers, the. fatalities
would have been greater even than
they were. Such men as Archibald
Butt, John Jacob Aston, Captain Smith
and his assistant chief officers, rose to
the situation and managed by their
firmness and intrepidity to see that the
women were loaded into the life boats
and removed a safe distance from the
sinking ship. Captain Smith went
down with his ship, as did Maj. Butt
and Col. Astor. United States Con-
gress is making rigid investigation
into the sinking of the vessel, with a
view not only to place the blame, but
to avoid such catastrophies in future,
and while they have no jurisdiction in
the matter, their findings will be re-
ported to the British authorities with
recommendations that they act in the
matter.

A Record In Produce.

The local produce dealer, Mr.. H. B.
Northcott, tells US that the last week
has been one unprecedented in the
handling of produce in this county.
During the week he tells us he bought
and shipped 1850 cases, 10000 dozen
eggs, for which he paid on an average
of 16 cents per dozen, bringing into the
county in round numbers $4,000. He
also shipped 100 pounds of poultry for
which he paid $780,, making a grand
fatal of $4,000. realized during the
week for produce in Garrard county.
Coming too at time when there is
but little on the farm to be sold, it is
quite a windfall.
The time was when the chickens and
eggs grown upon the farm were sup
posed TO supply the housewives with
pin money, but these figures lead us
to believe that of late the good ladies
are either Overstocked with pin money,
or else the proceeds are finding their
way into other channels. Anyway, we
are inclined to the belief that it would
be profitable to the farmers to give a
little more of their attention to the
poultry industry.

Col. CHM In Town.

Col Jack Chinn was in town Monday
in the interest of his candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for Congress
from this district, and was a pleasant
caller at the Record office. Col. Chinn
tells us that he is especially strong in
the recently admitted counties of Adair
and Casey, that he was in Frankfort
when the matter of their admittance
was before the legislature, and in a
speech before the committee having
the matter in charge, strongly urged
that they be admitted to the eighth
district. Col. Chinn will at once be-
gill an active and aggressive campaign
throughout the district, and hopes to
speak in every precinct. The gentle
man has many friends of long stRnding
in both this county and Madison and is
making new ones every day and feels
considerably encouraged with the out
look. Col. Chinn is the father of Mess
RS Morgan and George Chinn, who are
two of the most prominent young
Democratic politicians in Central Ken
lucky, the former having served as
Clerk of the Court of Appeals and is
now practising law in Frankfort.
The central record. (Lancaster, Ky.) 18??-current, 1912-04-26

A new chapter has been written in
the annals of heroism. Search history,
fiction, tales of heroism on land and sea
and all sink into insignificance, and the
name of Major Archibald Butt rises
prominently above them all. Standing
upon the deck of sinking ship, by the
might of the manhood which was in
him by inherent right, he readily show
ed that he was a man among men, nat
urally assuming control in the hour of
peril and great danger, strong, brave,
chivalrous, smiling in the face of sure
leath. he went to his death chcerfully,
striving to save the life of those around
him. In the crucial hour when all
was chaos and confusion, when the first
law of human nature, self preservation
was predominant. and men were turned
into raging beasts, he held to his self
appointed post, and by both will power
and main strength, saw to it that the
weaker, the women and children We're
safe in life boats and himself going
willingly to watery grave, he is the
most striking illustration of heroism
the world has ever known.

Spring Lambs.

1t will not be great while before
the annual shipment of Spring lambs
will begin, and Garrard county will
furnish her quota to the markets. One
buyer tells US that he has already en-
gagged one thousand lambs at 81 cents,
and this seems to be the prevailing price.
Owing to the extremely severe winter
which we experienced. the lamb crop
will be below the average in both
quantity and quality, many of them
freezing to death and others being
stunted. However, the sheep industry
in this county is on the increase, and
with anything like a reasonably open
winter, Garrard will compare favor
ably with any county in the Blue grass
in the number and quality of lambs
marketed.

The Picture Show.

The local Picture Show certainly de-
serves the liberal patronage of the
people of Lancaster and Garrard coun-
ty. Mr.. Romans has kept the house
open through the dull season, during
all kinds of weather, in spite of the
fact that the patronage oftentimes did
not justify performance, and is al
ways careful to provide the very best
attraction possible. The line of films
which he is running are new and up-to-
date, and are wonderfully interesting,
attractive and instructive. The prices
are reasonable and one may attend
every night in the week for what it
takes to attend one night performances
some places, where the attraction is of
much less benefit He has recently in
stalled an orchestra, and the music
alone is worth the worth the price of
admission. The house is comfortable,
good opera chairs, plenty of room, and
with the advent of good weather it is
hoped that the attendance will be ma
terially increased.

Ball SEASON Opens.

The home boys opened the season on
the local grounds on last Friday after
noon with splendid game with the c.
U. Props from Danville. The contest
was a hot one and very interesting,
the result being victory for the home
boys by score of A to 2. The batter
les were Lancaster, Doty and Tribble,
C. U. Frank and Hahn, Umpire Suits.
A deplorable feature of the game was
the breaking of a leg of one of the
Danville boys; young Bruce Montgom-
cry, son of DR. Montgomery of Danville,
was playing third base, he had his leg
placed ont in a slanting position, when
Currey Robinson in attempting to slide
to third struck it with such force as to
The wounded boy was hurried to the
hospital where he was attended by Drs
Kinnaird and Acton, who set the wound
ed member. His father took him to his
home in Dai.ville in an automobile that
night.
The home team had their measure
taken on Monday by the strong T. S. S.
team Nicholasville, the score being
Z to in favor of Nicholasville. Our
boys are playing classy ball in view of
the fact that they have had very little
practice, and too, they have some very
light material on the team. "Babe"
Lawson, who from his size looks like
he should be on Hudson Frisbie's team,
is nevertheless doing fine work in left
field.

Hogs High And Scarce.

There is probably the greatest scar
city of hogs ever known in the county.
This fact is traceable to the scarcity
and high price of feed during the past
winter, and also to the ravages of
disease, many farmers carrying bunch
of shoats through the winter in the
hope of realizing good price for them
with the coming of spring, only to
have the bunch wiped out by cholera.
However, it will not be many years be-
fore the existence of cholera will be
practically unknown in this locality, as
ever year the farmers increase their
precautions to guard against it, some
of them having their herds innoculated
in the fall of the year to guard against
the disease, and the time is coming
when all who would raise hogs will be
compelle! to resort to this method.
