turned at once, and we will

Bootleggers Galore.

The bootleggers must have thought
that during the excitement incident to
the Fair that the police would relax
their vigilance and they could ply their
nefarious calling, but such was not to
be. Charles Baughman and kid"
Lee, two notorious negroes, who we
understand are refugees from the Of
ficers at Stanford, alighted from the
train here Wednesday night with a
large basket, and hied them chuteward,
Chief Heron spied them and made a
bee line in their direction, so close did
he get on their trail that they abandon
ed the basket and took to their heels
and succeeded in making their escape.
The basket contained in the neighbor-
hood of fifty pints of long distance"
booze, with which they intended re
calling the Fair crowd, at so much per.
They will probably not return for their
baggage.

Rev. o. P. Bush, the ceremony was
quickly performed by him, after which
the happy pair repaired to the home of
the brides mother on Richmond Avenue
The bride is the daughter of Mrs
Pattie Anderson and is an accomplished
and charming young lady formerly one

The groom is son of Mr.. and Mrs

Something New In Blind Tigers.

The gentrys who are accustomed to
follow "bootlegging' for livelihood
are certainly in a class to themselves,
and when it comes to ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain," the
Heather Chinee is not in it with them.
A scheme resorted to according to our
information during the recent Fair
bordered upon the novel. AS our in
formant tells US, an enterprising gen.
tleman went to field near the fair
grounds four nights before the opening
of the meeting and choosing a suitable
place under the wide spreading limbs
of giant white oak tree, dug a hole
sufficiently deep to accommodate a ten
gallon key of whiskey, which he placed
therein, leaving the top a considerable
distance under ground and box lead
ing up to the furface; he then, neatly
sodded over the aperture. When he
desired to wait on customer he would
first ascertain that the ground way
free from intrudres, then carefully
raise neatly cut square of sod, in
sert chief, which is conical tin
instrument used about distilleries, and
withdraw what liquor he desired, fill
the customers bottle, replace the sod
and cheerfully seat himself, light his
pipe and wait for the next customer.
So careful was he as to how he con-
Quoted his transactions, and so well
did he choose his customers, that he
had exhausted his stock and left for
parts unknown before it was discover
ed that he had been dispensing drinks.

Steve" Carriers "Hat In The Ring

In this issue of the Record will be
found the announcement of Mr.. w. S
Carrier for the nomination for the Off
ce of Sheriff, subject to the action of
the Democratic party.
Mr. Carrier is not unknown to the
people of Garrard county, having serv-
ed them twice as Assessor, and has
made faithful and efficient officer
He is a splendid citizen, a clever and
upright gentleman and since his resi-
dence in the county has been an indie
fatigable worker in the democratic
ranks, and should the people see prop
er to honor him with the nomination he
seeks, we have not the least doubt but
he would be victorious in the final cleo
ton and would make a faithful, fear
less and efficient officer.

Judge Harris Pours Out Booze.

On the first day of the Fair Chief
Heron captured Louis Jackson a one
armed Lexington negro with a goodly
supply of booze and withoat a reason
able excuse for its possession. On
Friday he was taken before Judge
Harris and fined 500. and costs, the
bulk of which was suspended upon the
understanding that he leave town at
once, and that darby did not allow any
grass to grow under his feet after he
was released. Judge Harris confiscat-
ed the wet goods and breaking off the
necks, poured the contents on the
ground. much to the discontinue of a
crowd of onlookers.

Fat" For Tine Editors.

The newspapers published in the
Eighth district are reaping rich h ar
vest publishing as advertising matter
the mean things being said about the
rival candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Congress, Judge ]. A.
Sullivan, of Richmond, and Congress
man Harvey Helm, of Stanford. While
nearly all of the papers are taking
sides between the two, the editors are
playing no favorites and are publish
ing in columns side by side the ''boosts"
and knocks" for each candidate with
the result that the papers contain
practically nothing else but red-hot
campaign stuff-Danville Advocate.

BACKED BY DISTILLER.
Mr.. Sullivan's Principal Anderson Coun
ty Worker Is A Leading Liquor
Man.
(Danville Messenger

Supporters and boosters of Judge
Sullivan having kicked up such hula
baloo about Harvey Helms position on
the temperance question, let's take a
peep into the record of our friend,
Judge Sullivan, and see where he
stands. So far as can be learned, he
voted for local option, but if he ever
raised his hand or voice in the whiskey
fight in Richmond, the fact cannot be
ascertained, and his newspaper articles
are exceedingly quiet on the subject.
But let's 60 little deeper. In his
signed statement, Mrs ]. w. Mahan,
an elder in the Lawrenceburg Presby-
terrain church, (the church has no pas
tor at presently uses these words:
"Sullivan's leader in the county is Hon.
William Bowling, Senator from this
district, and himself distiller, the son
of distiller, and one of the constant
opponents of the county unit bill".
What do you think of that, Mr..
Temperance voter? Does that fact in
dictate that Mr.. Sullivan, if elected,
would go to Washington and work
against the whiskey dealers? Draw
your own conclusions.
Mr.. Mahan adds: "Do not under
stand me to be one of Mr.. Helms rank
partisans. l am merely writing you
the truth as l know it. Our temper.
ance people seem thoroughly satisfied
with Helm. 1t appears to US that il
he is to be beaten it should be on some
other ground than anything we have
heard or know in this connection. He
appears right on the bill pending in
Congress on the liquor traffic"

Judge Hardin AT Lebanon.

Judge Charles A. Hardin was in Leb-
anon last week, having been sent there
by Lieutenant Gov. McDermott to pre-
side in several cases in which Judge
Thurman was disqualified from serving.
That he acquitted himself in a credita-
BILE manner goes without saying. Judge
Hardin was compelled by the summons
to curtail a very pleasant outing at
Grab Orchard Springs.

Be Sure To
Vote SATURDAY..

Those looking after the
interests of Hon. Harvey
Helm, in the Congressional
race, ask that all his
friends 90 to the polls and
vote Saturday, Bird. While
they claim a large majority,
they realize the fact that
too much confidence has
often kept voters at home,
which results in defeat.
