TREMENDOUS DAM
Over Dix River Near Kings Mill Seems
To Be An Assured Fact At An
Early Day.

The following press dispatch sent out
from Lexington would indicate that
the erection of Dam across Dix river
a short distance above where it empties
into the Kentucky, is an assured fact.
We do not as yet know just what this
means insofar as Lancaster is concern
ed, as the gentlemen who are promot-
ing the scheme have not as yet fully
made known their intentions, further
than that they propose to furnish light
and power to the towns in this section
of the state.
Lexington, KY, April 6.-At meet
ing held here last night by the promo
tiers of the Dix river Power, Company
the articles of incorporation were sign
ed and officers and directors elected.
1t is proposed by the company to build
dam 200 feet high across Dix river a
few miles above its confluence with the
Kentucky and with the water thus con-
fined to generate the equivalent of
"a, 900 horsepower per day. transmits
ion lines, intended, shall be run to
Louisville, Lexington and possibly Gin
cinnati. 1t is estimated, that the COM
pletion of the plans will not cost
above $4,000, 600. The directors elected
are Bethel Veech, Louisville; L. B.
Harrington and Harvey Chenault, Rich
mond; c. P. Kennedy, Burgin; S. Wal
ton Forgy, Elkton; j. Miller Ward,
Paris, and R. c. Mcdonald, Niagara
Falls, N. Y. The officers elected are
L. B. Harrington, president; Harvey

POSSIBLE BUT not PROBABLE
Fayette County Citizen Suggests That The
Citizens Build, Own And Operate A
Car Line Between Lancaster
And Nicholasville.

Yves. Mayf1eld, of Fayette county, in
letter to the Lexington Leader has
the following to say about the needs of
an interurban to Lancaster;
A few days ago took trip to Gar
rard county. went to Nicholasville
too late to catch the mail wagon, which
is run by "blind niger" and "crip-
pied boss, between there and Braynts-
vile. So l waited around Nicholasville
with some old friends couple of hours,
and after 'doseing" them up with
some "snake lie" which l usually carry
in my pocket for my 'rizitism," espec-
tally when l am going to dry town"
like Nicholasville, l struck out for
Hickman bridge foot.
A car line is needed badly between
Nicholasville and Lancaster. If the
people will build it and keep it, it will
be paying proposition as well as a
convenience. 1t was long time be-
fore the people knew that they could
own the turn pixies. Now, who would
be willing for the pixies to go back into
the hands of private corporations
1t would be just as easy for them to
own the interurban car lines. And
could travel for about one-half less
than we now pay. And then the peo-
pie can own the natural gas wells, the
coal mines, the water works, etc, just
as easy as they own the turnpikes, the
streets, the school houses and other
public institutions. The people support
all these institutions, whether public or
private. The producers can never get
their full products until they understand
this, tie most important question now
before them. With a little study, they
can understand it, and when once un-
derstood they will solve the problem. {"
Mr.. Mayfeld,s suggestion is a good
one, but we do not deem it plausible.
However, we are firm in our belief
that within the course of but a few
years these two towns will be connect
ed by an interurban line, built not as
he suggests, by the people, but by a
corporation, but not at the cost to the
people which he suggests.

The candidacy of Woodrow Wilson
for the Democratic nomination for the
Presidency seems to be finding favor to
more or less extent with adherants of
his party in every State. He seems to
be the only candidate to have followers
every where. We find him the con-
tending candidate in every state where
the delegates have been selected.
While there are other candidates for
the nomination who merit the conf
dence of any democrat and will make a
worthy leader for the party and fully
measure up the position of the presi-
dency, yet we see none who is so ac-
ceptible to us and the party generally
as Mr.. Wilson. His friends claim that
he has always been loyal to the party,
which we think is the first thing to be
considered. From his public utterances
we find him in full accord with the
principles of our party as pronounced
in the last four National Democratic
Platforms. He is Progressive" in
the full meaning of the word. No one
has ever questioned his broad learning
or that he possesses the ability required
for president of this nation.
His success as Governor of New
Jersey proves him to be Statesman.
The highminded and dignifed way in
which he has conducted his candidacy
shows the superior qualities of true
manhood he possesses. We would like
to see him named as the Standard
Bearer of the party at the Baltimore
convention.

the people of Lancaster are nothing if
