p The local option fight in Lincoln coun
ty Saturday resulted in victory fer
the "drys", such victory as outsiders
had not dreamed of, a majority of 1853
votes, such a decisive victory that it
would seem, and it is to be earnestly
hoped, will squelch for all time to come
any effort on the part of the whiskey
people to again vote liquor back into
Lincoln county.
1t has been mooted about by great
many people, that certain existing
conditions both in Stanford and
throughout the county were responsible
for the calling of the election, that
people had become tired of the failure
to enforce the law and preferred open
saloons to blind tigers, however, the
face of the returns refuted this charge.
Not only Garrard but all other adjoin-
ing and near by counties, watched with
great interest the battle waged in Lin
coin, for to them the result meant much
The bringing of open saloons in such
close proximity to us, to our very doors
you might say, means an added menace
to the peace of this community, means
an added expense for police protection
to prevent the bringing in of liquor
clandestinely for the purpose of sale,
as also does it mean the added tempta-

cur We're the temptation not so ready
to our hands, so we. with all the other
neighbors of Lincoln county, are not
only rejoicing with them over the pre-
valence of the right, but we are rejoic-
ing on our own account.
We do not claim to be ''holier than
thou. but we do claim to be as free
from the illicit sale of liquor, and any
sale here would be illicit, as any town
in Kentucky; and still we do not claim
that there is absolutely no violation of
the liquor laws in Lancaster, for just
o long as liquor is manufactured, Just
so long will some people in every COM
munity endeavor to traffic in it, but we
do claim and without fear of contradic-
ton, that there is positively no "blind
tigers" in Lancaster where almost any,
one may go in and procure liquor, in
fact there are none at all, if the stuff
is being sold, it is being done very
quietly and to no great extent, and
those who persist in the practise are al
timately apprehended and made to pay
the penalty. This condition did not al.

time the most notorious blind tiger

Don't Be Too Hasty.

Following every cold period experien-
ced in this country when wheat emerg-
es looking the worse for the weather,
the cry goes up that 1.-THE wheat crop
is killed" This cry is being raised
now as to the late sown wheat. Con-
sentative farmers do not act too hasti-
ly in the matter of blowing up wheat
crop that has already cost them con-
siderable money, for they argue that
the wheat which sometimes looks the
worst in the winter, often turns out
the most bushels to the acre at har-
few warm spring days will do for it
before you go to ploughing up for seed
ing in something else.

Jack Adams Announces For Reelection

In this issue of the Record will be
found the announcement of Mr.. Jack
Adams as a candidate for the nominal
ton for jailer of Garrard county, sub
ject to the action of the democratic
party. There is perhaps not a more
popular gentleman in Garrard county
than Jack Adams, and he has hereto

cal race. He is an upright and honor.
able citizen a clever gentleman and has
made an efficient officer since he has
held the office to which he now asks a
second term, and if the democracy OF
Garrard county deem it advisable to
again honor him, we have no doubt but
that he will prove equally as efficient
in the future as he has in the past.

Mrs. Wiley Lee Morgan.

In former issue, we spoke of the
death of Mrs. Wiley Lee Morgan since
that time Knoxville daily paper has
been sent us containing an account of
her death. The article is about a COL
umn and half long and we are sorry
that lack of space will not permit US to
copy the article in full. Mrs. Morgan
was popular woman and member of
a great many clubs in Knoxville and
had but recently been made President
of the woman's board of the Knoxville
General Hospital. A picture of this
smart and beautiful woman appeared in
the Knoxville paper and the following
shows how the article started;-
Fourteen years ago there came to
Knoxville radiant bride and queeniy
woman. Today in desolate home the
husband sits in the shadow of an ire
parable sorrow. Yesterday afternoon.
just before 6 o'clock, at her home, 621
Morgan street, the gentle spirit of the
wife of the managing editor of The
Sentinel took its flight into the great
beyond. Suddenly and untimely the
end came. AS the devoted husband
was just returning to her from his desk
and duties, death from heart failure
closed the mortal life of her who
through the years had been his help
and inspiration.
Born Elizabeth Burdette Elkin, Mrs.
Wiley Lee Moagan first saw the light
of day July %, 1874. in the bluegrass
region of Kentucky, at Lancaster in
Garrard county. She was the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Garrett Elkin, no long
err living. In August, 1911. the mother
passed away in Knoxville, in her
daughters home. Of that family sur
yive sister, Mrs. B. S. Mattingly, and
two brothers, lack and j. Embry Ell

they were put out of business, a few
determined citizens assisted the equally
determined officers, and the trick was
quietly and efficiently turned, and con-
slant vigilance on the part of the Off
GERS has kept the traffic under subjuga-
ton since.
Now seems most suspicious time
for general cleaning up in Stanford
and Lincoln county, now while they
have the cooperation and assistance of
the federal authorities, if the tigers
really do exist, and the local authorities
will get busy and take stringent meas
ures for their breaking up, and give
those who are connected with them to
understand that they will not be tolerat
ed in the future, the evil, if it exists,
will be per anently removed. and you
will be worried no more with the cry
that ''open saloons are better THAI op-

Helps Wilson.

The New York Independent under
the head of ''The Exit of Marse Henry"
has the following to say
Colonel Watterson has retreated in
to the wilds of Florida, and it is well he
had said enough. At last the whole
story is out which he started and on
which he should have held his peace.
After the now famous interview which
resulted in the withdrawal of Woodrow
Wilson's name from the columns of
Harper's Weekly Colonel Harvey said
nothing; Mr.. Wilson said nothing; but
Marse Henry charged the Democratic
candidate with base ingratitude, and
told part of the tale. Then others told
or guessed, more, and he told more;
and at last he declared that Mr.. Will
son had groveled and Inundated him
self before Colonel Harvey in his de-
sire to atone for his GOODNESS. Then
this correspondence had to be given to
the public We find in it simply that
Mr.. Wilson learned that he had grieved
his friend, and he made as handsome
an apology as one could make, and il
was most courteously accepted. Not 6
word was said by either of them that {
gentleman might not properly say
But the correspondence, and most o.
the story of this private interview
was such as should not have been fore
ed upon the public. 1t was all conf

of honor did not forbid him to give i
