Politics Warming Up In The County And
Expected To Occupy The Limelight
From Now Until The August
Primary.

Toward the latter part of last week
the weather continued to grow warmer
and the local political situation seemed
to be in thorough sympathy with eli
matte conditions. On Saturday after
noon a great many more people were
in town than on the previous court day,
and politics was the sole topic of con-
versatlon. The various democratic
candidates, the successful of whom
will of course be the successful ones
for the second time in November, were
urging their particular fitness upon the
constituency, and every candidate for
every Office from the lowest to the
highest was putting in his best licks.
The republican committee held a meet
ing to devise ways and means for
placing ticket in the field; and we
are reliably informed that the "old
guard" will have full ticket in the
field for their adherents to vote for in
November. The Progressives we've
also in session and finally determined
upon a number of their candidates, a
full list of whom will be found in this
issue of the Record.

Paul Miller Married.

Lieutenant John Paul Miller, only son
of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. Miller of this
place arrived here on last Sunday even
ing for visit to his parents and other
friends and relatives. Paul brought
with him his bride of week, who was
Miss Grace Seagrave of New York, to
whom he was married on June 7th, and
who certainly speaks well for the
discriminating taste of this worthy
young man. After weeks visit to Lam
caster they will go to Louisville where
they will make short stay with his
sister Mrs. R. E. Hughes, after which
they will go to San Francisco, from
which point they will sail on July 5th
for Guam, which is one of the Ladrone
islands, belonging to the United States,
having been ceded to them at the close
of the Spanish-American war. Guam
is 900 miles from Manila and 1000 miles
from Honolulu, and is an important
station on the route from this country
to the Philippines. Mr.. Miller is
Lieutenant in the United States NAVY.
he was born and raised in Lancaster,
and his host of friends here are proud
of his successful career and tender him
their sincerest congratulations upon
the winning of such winsome bride.

|. & N. officials On Tour OF Inspection.

Messrs w. H. Anderson, Thomas
Walker, M. Stamlar, Morris Kelar and
Mr.. Freindburg passed through Lam
caster on last Thursday, making stop
of several hours. These gentlemen are
all officials of the local division of
the Louisville and Nashville Rail
Road and were on their annual
tour of inspection. The Park now I'M
der construction passed in review be-
fore their eyes, and several other i'm
provements which might be made to
to great advantage were brought to
their attention. Mr.. Anderson, the
Sup't is clever and accommodating
gentleman, as are those who accompan-
led, him and they may be depended up
on to do anything asked of them in the
way of improvements, provided of
course that it will rebound to the inter-
est of their company.

The Climax Takes A Crack At Us.

Ed Walton. who is about as good a
judge of news item as there is in
the state, has the following to say in
his paper, the Richmond Climax, of the
kilograms sent from here to the daily
papers:
The Lancaster Record complains of a
scarcity of salt in that city. If the
good paper wants to salt down those
fresh" items the correspondents for
city papers are sending out from the

that it gets barrel or so p. d. O..
Surely Ed. knows the Record force
too well to even dream that a member
of its staff would be guilty of such
work. By the way Ed. did you notice

there could be no more fitting memori-

his generosity. But it is equally true
that there should be somewhere. in

Stanford People Determined To Stop
Illicit Sale Of Liquor And Taking
Heroic Measures With That
End In View.

The good people of Stanford who have
been so long cursed with the hauor
traffic, have determined that it shall
stop, and are making heroic efforts to
enforce the local option laws and effec-
tually put to an end the illicit sale of
liquor in their city. The officers, both
city and county are lending to this effort
every assistance in their power. but
the bootleggers are persistent and adopt
every conceivable means for slipping
booze in for the purpose of sale. On
last Sunday night Sheriff Mccarthy
and deputy Embry, Jailer Dink Farmer.
and Marshal Bony Carter came to Lam
caster in an automobile for the purpose
of boarding the excursion returning
from Cincinnati and catching a number
of the most notorious bootleggers who
were known to have gone on that train
for supplies. They secured the
assistance of Chief Heron and with
him boarded the train. which arrived

morning.. each of the officers stationed
himself at one of the doors of the
coaches, the negroes they sought were
readily located and seemed to be well
heeled with refreshments. But no
sooner did the officers make their
appearance than a perfect fusilade of
bottles of beer and whisky began to
pour from the windows of the train, and
many quarts of the contraband goods
was picked up between this place and
Rowland. Notwithstanding this, Mr..
Heron informs US that he heard that
the officers succeeded in capturing a
truck load of beer and whiskey upon
the arrival of the train in Stanford.
The object of the Lincoln county officers
in coming here to board the train was
to prevent their prospective prisoners
from leaving the train at some suburban
station and walking in to town to evede
them.

Reversing a case from the Whitley
circuit court, the Kentucky court of
appeals on Monday held that liquor
might be shipped into dry territory,
provided it was for personal use and
was not for the purpose of sale. While
the case was taken up under the Webb
Kenyon act, the court did not attempt
to iconstrue this measure, satisfy
ing itself with simply constituting the
Kentucky law applying in the case at
bar, under which the case had been
placed by the Webb Kenyon bill, which
simply strips a shipment of its inter
state qualities and makes of it an in
trastate shipment.

Corn Growing Nicely.

A good many of the farmers of the
county were heard to complain that
the recent cool weather had turned
corn blades white, caused them TO have
the appearance of having been frost
bitten. However, since the advent of
warmer weather the corn has assumed
its normal condition, shows no bad re-
suits from the cool snap, is growing
nicely and is well up to it's average
condition at this time of year, with
promise OF splendid crop should con-
ditions prove favorable from now un-
til its maturing time.
