We do not believe that fraud was
practiced in the election held in this
county on last Tuesday. 1t is quite
true, however, that the returns showed
large increase in the vote over pre-
vious years; but, at the sam, time it
must be remembered that it has been
many years since we have witnessed
such campaign as we have witnessed
during the last three months. Aside
from the interest in the governors
race, there was far more interest in
the race for county offices than there
was two years ago; and every young
man who had reached the age of 81
had his name on the club roll with but
very few exceptic7s, and they all
went TO the polls aad voted. The in
terest in the race for clerk of court
.alone-and it is safe to say that this
race oYershad owed all others COM
sbinea-was sufficient to swell the vote
in this county. On the day of elec-
tion all sorts of runners were afoat to
the effect that an insufficient number
OF tickets had been sent out; and this
caused some apprehension among
some of tn, followers of the candi-
dates, but with this exception there
was not the slightest indication of If
regulsrit, or fraud. The people of
LAxingto on do not participate in fraud
when it comes to voting in the pri-
mary. They 60 to the polls and cast
their ballots like freemen, unhamp-
.ered by friend or foe, and when they
have done that they are willing to let
the majority rule. The primary sys-
tenn is here to stay, 80 far as this
10 county is concerned, and
the name Of fair Lexington will never
be beamirched by any act of her citi-
szens.

They say "Billy" Banks is still sing

There is room for mere cotton buy

q leading cotton market, the farmers
bringing their cotton here from every
section. Although the crop will fall
far short of last year, it is to be hoped
that our merchants will see to it that
Lexington gets her share of the crop.
If we are to draw the trade from 9th
er sections, which is justly ours, it is
necessary that we have sufficient
number of cotton buyers to guarantee
the farmers the highest price for their
cotton.

! New York, April 15.-The
Titanic is the greatest of modern
leviathans, being even bigger
than the monster Olympic.
She. alsois the most luxurious
lyftted and furnished vessel ever

She is 1857 feet long. with
81 foot beam. Her registered
tonnage is $1,000 tons, and her
displacement $1,000 tons. 5000
passengers could be accommidat-
ed aboard her, 900 in the, cabins.
She carried a crew of 300 men.
Her captain, E. S. Smith, is the
veteran of the White Star ser
vice.
This was the Titanic's maiden
voyage. i. 1t was not begun we'll.
When she was drawing out from
Southampton docks, the suction
she created in the harbor dis
lodged the American liner New
York from her berth, breaking
the two heavy hawsers like pack
threads. q
The New York swung toward
the Titanic, and narrowly missed
plunging into her. This was re-
garded as bad omen by the
captain and crew of the Olympic.

names in America. Mr.. and
