FIREWORKS
DISPLAY
Fourth of July Attracts
Immense Crowd to
Our City
Sane Fourth Observed aa d
thoroughly Enjoyed by All

The fireworks display at the
Fair Grounds under the manage
ment of the Montgomery County
Fair Association, was witnessed
by a large crowd, in fact we be-
lieve the largest crowd ever on the
grounds for an affair of this kind.
Splendid horse, automobile and
motor cycle races we're enjoyed in
the afternoon.
Mr.. r. ID. Barnes and j. G.
Graves were in charge of the cele-
bration for the Fair Company and
we are glad to report it was a
financial success. The committee
succeeded in raising about $4,000
among the merchants and the gate
receipts raised this to a total of
about $4,000 the expenses were
about $780, 90 to $4,000, leaving
a nice profit to the Fair Company
which would have-stood the loss in
case of rain. While the fireworks
this year was frst-class it was
hardly as good as last year.

Women to I0te in Hancock.

The County Clerk of Hancock
county announced that he will pro-
vide separate ballets for the wo-
men at the coming August pri-
mary in order that they may vote
for the office of County School
Superintendent. So far women
will exercise their vote for this
Office in Fayette, Henderson and
Hancock counties. In most of
the counties however, it is be-
lieyed that the county clerks will
decline to make the necessary pro-
visions for the women voters, and
in this way a test case is expected
to be made and carried to the
Court of Appeals for a final adj

Report Of Candidates Signing the
PledQe For a Clean Election.

The following candidates signed
and returned the pledge sent them:
Rufus MADDEN, j. Will Clay. NJ.
j. Goodwin, John f. Richardson,
J. II. Blount, DR.. B. NJ. Manning,
Joe. w. Langston, j. T. Barnes,
O. w. Mccormick. This shows
only nine out of twenty, and
therefore is not sufficient to make
the pledge binding upon those
who have signed.
This leaves the matter up to the
people of the county, and steps
ought to be taken at once to de-
tect and punish every vote buyer
in the county. The buyer is worse
than the seller and should be pros
ecuted first. Respectfully,

NEW Plan
ENDORSED
AT Enthusiastic Meet
inc of the Business
Mems Club
Held Monday Night Good Roads
the Slogan.

The monthly meeting of the Mt.
Sterling Business Mems Club held
Monday night, was one of the
most enthusiastic and at the same
time one of the best attended
meetings the club has ever had. A
number of important matters were
considered, including the propo-
sitions to improve the Paris and
Maysville turnpikes. After a
general discussion in which many
prominent members took part, the
Advocates pet plan to conduct the
county's fiscal affairs by conmiSs-
ion, was endorsed by a unanimous
vote. Every taxpayer in t h e
county should study the commiss-
ion plan. 1t is the new, up-to-
date method and should take the
place of the old obsolete Fiscal
Court, composed of Magistrates.
Watch the Advocate for facts and
figures, which will appear in each
issue between now and the Novem-
Der election. The fight is ON and
the people must win.

GOVERNMENT
REPORT
On Proposed Road From
Mt. Sterling to Mays
vile.
Government Willing to Bear One
Third of Cost.

The Government expert sent
here some weeks ago to view the
turnpike from Mt. Sterling to
Maysville, proposed to be improv-
cd with government aid, has filed
his report. Our citizens have also
been informed that if the whole
route cannot be improved, the
government will aid in improving
the pike from Mt. Sterling to
Sharpsburg and it is believed the
citizens living along the proposed
route will subscribe enough to
make the plan success. The
counties of Montgomery and Bath
will contribute all they are able
out of the funds available for that
purpose. 1t must be borne in
mind, however, that the Fiscal
Courts cannot go beyond the cur
rent year and anticipate future
levies.

all efforts to arbitrate their griev-
ances and the leaders of the interna-
tional hotel workers union making a
widespread attempt to call out all
the cooks and walters in the city, the
police were facing real work today.
The strike Of the garment workers
was augmented today by the walk-out
Of $4,000 white goods makers.
In addition the sporadic efforts OF
the striking walters to call out all
their fellows, who remained at thei-
posts in the big hotels caused the po-
lice to put heavy guards around all
the principal points of attack to pre-
vent repetition of last nights scenes
of violence. The Hotel Astor has a
double guard, owing to the activity
last night Of party Of strikers who
attempted to storm the hotel. Nine
teen strikers were arrested The
trouble was brought on by two union
leaders who dined at the Astor and
then tried to call out the walters by
blowing their whistles and shouting
strike" They were seized by hotel
detectives and hustled to the cellar.
They accused the detectives of man
handling them and the officers were
arrested Today the detectives were
freed and the two union leaders held
on a disorderly conduct charge.
