The Upton Case

Maud Upton, charged with the
murder of Reuben Todd, and who
is in the Estill County Jail, may
not be tried at this term of the
Court. The docket is crowded
with old cases and all the balance
of the term will probably be taken
up with the trial of these cases.
Judge w. H. Lilly, who was Op.
pointed to defend Miss Upton,
has requested the Court to relieve
him of this duty on account OF
his health and other attorneys
will be selected by the court for
this purpose.
ChOate Henry who testified be-
fore the grand jury in this case,
has been indicted for false swear
ing and will undoubtedly be sent
up for a term. His trial is sci
for the present term of Court. II
may not be reached.

The following rules were laid
down as a guide for young men
in a certain town in -, where
the usaees of polite society were
disregarded:
First: If you are invited to a
party or dance at the home of
Mrs. Blank, ascertain the names
of the young ladies who are ex.
pected, and ask the pleasure of
accompanying one of them, or
else stay at home yourself.
Second: Having been enter
tanned, return and pay your party
call.
Third: If there are young la
dies visiting in your town and
you have been asked to call, dc
so, and further extend any cOur'
tesy in your power to make their
stay a pleasant one.
Fourth: When walking or driv
ing with young lady leave your
cigar or pipe at home, and GER
tainly when you take her-into an
ice cream parlOr.
Fifth: Don't speak of having
a date with any lady. Dates
are for fairs, horse shows, selling
lots, etc.
Last, and worst of all, to you
young ladies. stop the vulgar Gus
tom of having yOuy names laiC
around on counters and SHOW
cases, while the young men make
bids" on your company to thu
dance, for while you allow sucf
familiarity you lessen the dignit,
of womanhOOd, and forfeit you
right to the reverence which !.
due you from the opposite sex.

Serious Accident Narrowly
Averted

On last Tuesday morning as
Master Grant Lilly was out in
front of his home in the pony
cart he stepped over the dash
board and walked out on the
shaft to put up the check rein; In
so doing his foot slipped and
went between the shaft and pony,
catching in the harness. The
pony became frightened and tore
down Lancaster avenue, kicking,
the child holding to part of the
harness and shaft.
AS the pony passed Mrs. VIM.
Irvine's gate, Mr.. Dick Altman
jumped from a wagon he was
driving and tried to stop it but
was unable to do SO. Just then
Messrs. Frank and Curt Cornelius
ran across the pike in front OF
the frightened animal and caught
the reins. By their courage and
presence of mind these youne
gentlemen probably saved the
child's life.
He was carried in an uncOn
sciOus condition into the home O
Mr.. Cornelius by Mr.. Altman anC
here everything was done for hi
comfort. DR.. SmOOt was sum
mOned and after an examination
found he was badly bruised Blu
no bones broken. He is nov
able to be out and getting alOn!
nicely.

The 62ND CONGRESS;
WHAT IT HAS DONE

Washington, March with the
adjournment of Congress Tuesda,
noon, the end will be written to two
years of epoch-making struggle with
in party ranks; and to three sessions
of effort, only partially successful,
to adjust the differences between a
Democratic House, a Senate under
Democratic Progressive control, and
a Republican President.
Many important pieces of legisla-
ton have been enacted within that
time; Investigations of a peculiar sig
nificance to the public have been con-
Quoted; and many subjects of general
interest have been laid aside without
action. The tariff, attacked alike
from Democratic and Republican
sources twice during that period, has
been the subject of attempted revis-
ion, but none of the proposed changes
became effective.
The 62nd Congress opened in 1911
with special session called by Pres
ident Taft to consider Canadian re-
ciprocity; it ends with an extra ses-
sion of the 63rd Congress only a few
weeks away, to be called by President
Wilson for a general revision of the
Payne-Aldrich. tariff law. National
conventions, the birth of a new party,
a general election, and a complete
change of administration have inter
vened between its beginning and its
end. Activities of the short session
now closing have been limited almost
entirely to a routine work, because
of the determination to leave to the
new administration all of the i'm
portant subjects of a general char
acter.
Perhaps the most important devel-
opments of the entire Congress are
the following:
New Federal bureau of labor Gre
ated with Cabinet officer at it's head.
Physical valuation of the proper
ty of railroads and other common
carriers in order to form basis for
rate making.
CANADIAN reciprocity law passed,
but rejected by Canada.
Wool, cotton, metal and free list
tariff bills passed, but vetoed by
President Taft.
Constitutional amendment for pop
ular election of Senators submitted
to the States.
Shipment of liquor into prohibition
States forbidden by law.
Arbitration treaties with Great
Britain and France negotiated, but
failed of ratification because Of
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1913-03-07

Wireless communications brought
under careful regulation, the law re-
quires the wireless on all ocean ves-
sells to be adequately manned.
/ Government transports required to
carry an ample number of life boats.
Red Cross recognized officially as
branch of Government service in
time of war.
Federal relief given to 1912 flood
sufferers in lower Mississippi Valley.
Commerce Court and tariff board
virtually legislated out of existence.
Industrial commission authorized to
study relations between capital and
labor.
This Congress has witnessed the
ratification of many important treat
les with foreign nations. The arbi-
tration treaties with France and
Great Britain, negotiated by Presi-
dent Taft, however were not ratified,
because the President considered they
did not carry out the understand
ings made with the two Powers.
In the two years, however the fol-
lowing important agreements have
been perfected:
Pecuniary claims treaty with Great
Britain.
North Atlantic coast fisheries
agreement with Great Britain.
Fur seal treaty with Great Britain,
Russia and Japan.
International wireless treaty with
leading foreign nations.
international war prize agreement.
