That the Merchants Opening Day
held in Lancaster on last Saturday
was success in so far as attaining
the object sought, exploiting the goods
and promoting the home trade, is alb
soutelv undeniable. There is not a
merchant in the town but must con-
fess that he was benefited by the
holding of this little celebration as 1t
might be called for their benefit Nor
is the reaping of the harvest yet COM
plete, many people who came in to
look around ascertained just what to
be had in Lancaster, and at what
prices, and later along when they are
ready to buy, will come in and patron
ize their home merchants.

hind in the matter of advertising
home business, and this latest exploit
fully demonstrates the fact that lad
vertising pays"
1t has been suggested, and very
wisely, that this event be made, not
an annual, but a semi-annual affair,
that such an event be held in the
spring and fall of each year, and for
the purpose of financing such scheme
and in order that it may not appear to
fall too heavily upon the shoulders of
those interested, it has been suggested
that an organization be at once formed,
something along the lines of a Com
mercial Club. with regular dues, and
these dues will in very short time,
though small of themselves, amount tC
sufficient sum to pay the expense Of
providing attractions which will bring
such crowd as was here last Satur
day to the city twice each year. a
such time as may be deemed advis
able by the merchants themselves, ant
which will be greatest to their advan
tage. This proposition is well wortl
consideration. and it would be a splen
did idea to form just such an organ
ization without delay, and by the com
ing of spring and the arrival of new
goods there will be a fund sufficien
already accumulated to give a celebra
ton equal to if not greater than tn
one just held.
This suggestion is well worth you
consideration Mr.. Merchant. and w
believe it would be wise move flo
you to get busy at once and organize

The Clark county grand jury before
its final adjournment returned eight
indictments against as many of the
citizens of the county for bribery +,
the basis of the indictments being the
traffic in votes at the recent August
primary election. These indictments
were directly the result of the fearless
stand taken by Judge James NJ. Ben
ton and his strenuous instruction to
the grand jury, which resulted in one
of the most prominent citizens of the
county being fined and incarcerated
for refusal to tell what he knew in
regard to the buying and selling of
votes or the furnishing of funds for
that purpose.
The result of the rigid probe being
made by Judge Benton will doubtless
have the effect of starting similar pro-
ceedings in other districts of the state,
and there is no telling just where the
matter will end, but it is sincerely
hoped that the ultimate result will be
the eradication from the entire state
of this nefarious practice, and that
elections in the near future will be en-
tirely free from undue influence and
will be conducted along entirely diff
ferent lines from what has been the
custom in many localities in the past.

There has been a great deal of talk
about OBTAINING or deporting Mrs.
Emmiline Pankhurst, when she arrives
in America. The immigration author
tiles, and Washington itself, seem to
be of several minds in regard to the
matter. Mrs. Pankhurst may be
classified as an undesirable citizen,
guilty of bad conduct in her own coun-
try and therefore ineligible to enter
the United States. For our part we
would like to see her come in and try
some of her brick throwing and house
burning here. One thing she will find
out in a short time, and that is the
methods by which she gained notoriety
in England are not in favor with the
women of this country and certainly
will not be countenanced by the men.
If, to use a slang expression, the
English militant suffragette leader
starts trough house" campaign, she
will be sufficiently dealt with, by city
state and national authorities, to hold
her for awhile. AS to the talk about
her corrupting American women, we

There is possibility of the admin

to the belief that there is scarcely the
probability of such a happening. His

fraught with well meaning, 1.-THE

literally interspersed with keen percep-
ton and showing an intimate acquain-
lance with the needs of the country
and the subject with which he grap-
pied. His latest achievement was the
tariff law, subject that has been a
thorn in the side of every administra-

Wilson and his associates who assisted
in the formulation of the measure
gives fIattering promises of success.

Records Contest Closed Last Saturday
Afternoon, The Prizes We're Award
ed, And We Believe The
Result Gave General
Satisfaction.

The Records Big Contest closed on
last Saturday afternoon and the prizes
We're awarded to the successful con-
testants, and from the various express
ions of opinion which we have heard,
we are constrained to the belief that
the result gave general satisfaction.
Our one aim during the conduct OF
this affair has been that it should be
absolutely fair, that it could and should
not be said that any one candidate
should have any unfair advantage over
another one. To this end We have been
studious in our efforts to have all con-
nected with the Record office to know
just as little as possible about the con-
test, leaving the entire management of
the contest in the hands of Messrs Potts
and Chaffin, both of whom We're wholly
disinterested and whom we knew to be
absolutely fair and honest. How well
our efforts We're prolific of fruit is to
be seen by the general satisfaction ex-
pressed at the outcome. When the
closing time came and the count was
to be made, we chose three men whom
we felt had the esteem and confidence
of the entire community, and left III
their hands the stupendous work of
counting the ballots. Messrs w. F.
Champ, r. Z. Embry and j. w. Gilmore
spent several hours over this arduous
task, and when their duties were per-
formed, there was nothing left to be
done except to announce the result and
distribute the prizes.
While the Contest, from a financial
point of view, was not great success
to the Record, vet We are well pleased
with the result, We have succeeded in
adding very materially to our subscrip-
ton list, bringing the list well up with
the lists of other newspapers in it's class
in Central Kentucky, and this of course
means something to US, even more than
the satisfaction of knowing of the
increase.
To those who names who have been
added to our lists as new subscribers
as we'll as to our old friends who have
long been with us, we desire to say
that we shall exert our every effort to
give you readable paper, we shall
endeavor to chronicle just as carefully
as possible the news of the town and
county, and the world at large in con-
densed form, in fact we expect to give
to our readers everything in the news
line which we think would interest you,
and to improve upon our service con-
tinually in every manner possible.
We wish to thank sincerely everyone
who in any manner contributed to the
success of the contest, and to our
personal thanks we wish to add the
thanks of the little contestants whose
hearts, thanks to your kindness and
assistance were made glad by the dis
tribution of the handsome prizes.

DEPL0RABiE ACCIDENT.
Little Gilbert East's Life Crushed Out
Beneath The Wheels OF A Wagon
On Last Saturday.

Gilbert, the little six wear old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter East Of Buckeye.
had his little life crushed out beneath
the wheels o. two horse wagon on
last Saturday. The little fellow had
come to town with his uncle, Barnett.
the fifteen year Old son of Mr.. Owen
East of Buckeye, on a two horse wagon.
they came for some cement and seed
rye and after making their purchases
started for home. When near the
farm Of DR.. ]. B. Kinnaird on the
Buckeye pike, near the foot of the
town hill", Barnett decended from
the wagon and went across the fence
at the side of the road for some pur-
pose, leaving little Gilbert on the seat
holding the lines. The restiveness Of
the mules in jerking their heads prob
ably jerked the little fellow from the
seat and the mules moved forward the
front wheel OF the wagon passing
across the chest of the helpless little
boy, and before his horror stricken
uncle could reach him the little body
was so crushed as to place him beyond
recovery. A young man passing
gathered him in his arms and hurried
to town with him in his buggy, taking
him to the home of Mr.. J. ID. Guiley,
where medical aid was summoned and
everything possible was done, but so
seriously was the little body crushed
that there was absolutely no hope and
he died within an hour after being
taken into the house. The parents
were at once summoned, and the grief
of the heart broken mother at the sud
/ den death of her little son was dis
tressing. For while she could not be
comforted. and it was some time be-
fore the kindly ladies' who surrounded
her in their efforts to be Of assistance.
could persuade her to leave the little
body to be prepared for burial.
| The remains We're taken to the pa
rental home near Buckeye on Saturday
afternoon and on Sunday afternoon at
8 o'clock all that was mortal, the lit
tie bruised and broken body was laid
to rest ir the cemetery at Buckeye.
The accident was an unusually pathetic
one and the hearts of all who know OF
it goes out to the grief stricken mother
| and father in their sudden and severe
/ loss.

Have Brains Enough TO be a Fool.

Robert Louis stevenson: It is Bet
ter to emit a scream in the shape of a
theory than to be entirely insensible
to the jars and in~congruities of life
and take everything as it in a
forlorn stupidity. Some people swal-
low the universe like a pill; they
travel on through the world, like smil-
ing images pushed from behind. For
Gods sake give me the young man
who has brains enough to make a
fool of himself! AS for the others,
the irony of facts shall take it out Of
their hands and make fools of them in
downright earnest, ere the farce be
over. There shall be such a mopping
and a moving at the last day, and
such blushing and confusion of coun-
tenance for all those who have been
wise In their own esteem, and have
learnt the rough lessons that youth
hands on to age. If we are, indeed,
here to perfect and complete our W
natures, and grow larger, stronger and
more sympathetic against some nobler
career in the future, we had all best
bestir ourselves to the utmost while
we have the time. To equip a dull.
respectable person with wings would
be but to make a parody of an angel.
