Fire Deportment Increase.

We have recommended an appTo-
priation of $2O,5SO for this department,
an increase of $3.50 over last year 1t
is with great pleasure we call your
attention to the administration Of this
department As you well remember
during last winter we were threat
ened with an epidemic of spinal men
nights. and yet this department has
lived within its appropriation, showing
good judgment and economy under
great public excitement and pressure,
when they could easily have spent
$4,000 during the period of what
might have been a panic. This de-
partment is the most efficient in the
state and is growing yearly more i'm
portant, and to meet the demands
must increase its expenses
We at least owe the members of the
board of health a vote of thanks for
the manner in which they met this
crisis in the health of the city, and the
way they worked with the city Off

last year of about $4,000. We think
with this liberal appropriation. the
school board using the same with care
and economy as last year, will be able
to place our schools on a cash basis.

A New Enterprise.

Mr.. James 1. Hamilton is preparing
to launch new enterprise. He owns
several hundred acres of land in the
southeastern part of the county, (which
is billy and covered with scrub timber
and heavy underground. The cost of
clearing this land would more than ex-
coed its present value, so Mr.. Hamilton
has hit upon novel plan for clearing
it. He proposes to purchase a thous-
and goats and place them upon the land
the goats will devour the underground
and will scale the bark from the larger
timber and cause the trees to die,
thereby making it a very easy matter
to get rid of them. This is not an or
iginal idea with the gentleman, but is
one very much in vogue with the
jewellers on rough uncleared land in
many parts of the county. Mr.. Hamil-
ton also wishes to announce that within
year he will be ready to furnish goats
to the various lodges throughout the
country, who wish to make use of them
in the exempifcation of their degree
work.

never before have the Democrats been
more harmonious in this county. All
the good democrats want to see the
best man put up. Of course many of
them differ as to who is the strongest
and best man, some preferring the
Speaker and some thinking that Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson is the man to
lead US to victory and others express
ing themselves for the other IPresiden-
tial aspirants, We therefore urge all
good democrats to be on hand prompt
ly at one O'Clock on May 25th. and ex-
press yourselves as to what is the best
thing for Garrard county to do.

Both To Be Congratulated.

Hon. Ollie M. James is to be con-
graduated upon his good judgment in
the selection of a secretary, having de-
cided upon Mr.. w. Vernon Richardson
of the Danville Advocate for that posi-
ton, the appointment to take effect on
March 4, 1918, upon which date Mr..
James takes his seat in the United
States Senate. Mr.. Richardson is not
only eminently qualified for the posi-
ton, but he deserves it, he has for
years been an earnest worker for his
party in his home county of Boyle, and
he richly deserves recognition at their
hands. Erich" is a Chesterfield in
manners and will make an ideal secre-
tary. With Cecil Williams, Shelton
Saufey and Vernon Richardson desert
ing the newspaper ranks for the polite

most assuredly being dealt a severe
blow, and while we sincerely congratu-
late them on their new positions, we
cannot stife sigh of regret at their
loss from the Central Kentucky Hpress

Excurssionists DELAYED.

The people down on the lower end of
the K. C. Division who patronized the
excursion to Cincinnati on last Sunday
did not reach their homes until the
regular train on Monday afternoon.
On the return trip from Cincinnati
Sunday night, on reaching Ford they
found wreck just ahead of them
which was calculated to delay the ex-
cursion several hours. AS the train
which they were on, together with the
engine and crew composed the regular
Maysville & Stanford train, and there
was no chance for it to get to Stanford
in time to make its regular run, it was
run on to Maysville, the Excursion
train was annuled from Ford to Stan
ford and the passengers brought to
Richmond where they were placed on
board the regular train which reaches
here at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Sixty Seven Years Of Age, Takes First
Ride On Train.

Mrs. j. R. Mount while returning
from visit to relatives in Stanford on
last Monday, met on the train an old
time acquaintance in the person of Mr..
R. L. Porter, and from him elected the
following remarkable piece of informa-
tion:-That he was 81 years of age and
the present trip was the first time in
his life he had ever ridden on a train.
Mr.. Porter is one of Lincoln county's
most respected citizens, in good cir
cumstances, a breeder of good horses,
has good buggies and carriages, and
prefers this manner of locomotion to
the more modern manner of travelling
on the railroad. Mr.. Porter resides on
the Stanford pike, about midway be-
tween this place and Stanford, and
within sight of the L & N R. R. and
only about one and one half miles
from the Gilberts Creek station. He
boarded the train at Rowland and rode
up to Gilberts Creek station and his
first ride on a train proved quite a
novelty to him. .

Rally To Him.
(AndersOn News

We want to send an appeal to every
gallant old Confederate soldier in the
18th judicial district to vote for that
splendid young democrat w. S. Burch,
for Commonwealth Attorney of that
district in the primary Aug. l, 1912.
Cripple as he is, physically, no night
has been too dark or day too rainy for
him to go out in the interest of the
democratic party of his county. He
is democrat from the crown of his
head to the soles of his feet. Big
heart; ever loyal to friend; courageous
as Julius Caesar; his life is open and
you can unfold the leaves of the book
that it is written upon and not a line,
syllable, or u comma, but what would
read democratic he never hides behind
the door or causes the curtain of public
opinion to disclose any act of his from
public criticism, but always in the open
and as brave son of as true and gal
liant a Confederate soldier as ever don
ned the gray and trod the soil of the
land of the free and home of the brave.
Stand behind him solidly is the earnest
wish of the editor of the News to every
Confederate soldier in that district as
we'll as every son of a Confederate
soldier and every nephew.
Remember how this gallant young
man battled for Judge M. c.. Saufey,
an old Confederate, for circuit jddge ir
1903, when he was ''up against" q
combination in his district that defeated
him by means unfair. but this hobbling
crippled, untiring friend stood every
test as true as the needle to the pole
If you love a true democrat, one who
is competent by training and expert
ence, fair to friend and foe, rich and
poor, vote for w. S. Burch. We hold
his opponent, Judge E. V. Puryear. OF
Danville, in the highest esteem. He
is good lawyer, a gentleman to the
manner born and would make a cap.
able official for the district, but the
editor of the News would be ungratefu
if he did not lend a helping word tc
one that he calls a true friend and one
that for nearly Is years he fought side
by side with in the democratic ranks OF
old Lincoln county.
He has his political enemies, and sc
have We, and we love him because he
has them and we are truly proud OF
ours. Just as certain. as death and
taxes come will Burch sweep every
/, thing before him for Commonwealth
Attorney.

Mr.. j. Bruce Ismay. a managing
director of the White Star Steamship
Line, and who was a passenger upon
the i'll fated Titanic, and who was
among the number who escaped with
their lives. is coming in for a great
amount of condemnation, and is being
called some pretty hard names. Es-
pecially severe in some cases is his
condemnation by the clergy, the very
people from whom we should most ex-
pect charitable consideration. A great
deal of this censure was uttered be-
fore Mr.. Ismay's side of the story was
heard. We are of the opinion that
this censure, to say the least of it,
is extremely uncharitable, is watering
the milk of human kindness, narrow
ing the mantle of charity, so to speak.
Mr.. Ismay in his statement made be-
fore the Senate Investigating Com
mittee says that he assisted in the
loading of ten life boats with women
anu CIlllUrcH, IIdI WHCH Soh was
made for more women and none re-
sponded, and he was invited to enter a
boat, he did so. Self preservation is
the first law of nature, and Mr.. Ismay
availed himself of that law, a little
precipitately perhaps, but the danger
was there and the avenue of escape
was opened to him and he availed him
self of the opportunity. A splendid
way to measure the matter is to put
yourself in his place, what would you
do were you placed in the same posi-
ton? We are not all made of the same
material as Archie Butt, and there are
many of us who prefer being alive
scapegrace to a dead hero. 1t seems tc
US that it is not within the province OF
any of us who have not faced just such
trying ordeal, and been tried by the
same fire as was Ismay, to judge harsh
ly of his action on the occasion, to con.
denim him for saving his life in the
face of great danger and means Of
escape was offered.
