One incident which caused amusement
among the Presidents party was the
presence on the drill field Of a small, black
shiny dog which attached himself to the
brigade and went through all maneuvers
This speck of dog flesh dashed through
all the charges and divided honors as a
funmaker with stout photographer, who
chased out on the field to get action
pictures and came out dusty and shaken
after hiding under tree to keep from
being run down in charge of the cav

Garrard County Negro Plans Daring
Escape OF Convicts From Frankfort
Penetentiary. Discovered By
Warden Wells.

The discovery of plot to effect
wholesale escape of cOnvicts from the
Frankfort penetentiary was made by
Warden Wells last week and the two
ringleaders. Allen Hall a lifer from
Pulaski county. leading the white
prisoners and Clarence Fry, sent from
this county for life for murder, leading
the blacks, were transferred to the
prison at Eddyville. The escape has
been planned for several months and
was to be put into effect on June 9th,
on what is known as flower day., a
day when the good ladies enter the
prison and try to make life a little less
dreary for those confined within its walls
by the distribution of flowers, an annual
custom, and which the prisoners
look forward to as the one bright spot
in there otherwise monotonous lives.
The plan of the prisoners was to await
the tolling of the bell at noon time on
that day, when they were to overpower
the guards, Selling thy women who
We're distributing flowers and using
them as a shield in case of resistance
or attact from the guards on the out
side. then scale the walls or leave by
the gates and effect their escape. The
plot was bold one and would no doubt
have proven successful had not their
plans been made known to the Warden
and means taken by him to prevent its
being put into execution.
Clarence Frye who was to lead the
colored convicts in their dash for
liberty, was sent to the penetentiary for
life from this county in December 1909
for the killing of another negro named
Mullins near Bryantsville. Frye before
committing the crime which earned for
him life sentence, was considered a
good negro and had never before been
in trouble.

Mr.. Burton To Judge At Lexington.

Mr.. w. B. Burton the local horseman
has been asked by Mr.. John w. Balm,
Secretary of the Blue Grass Fair
Association, to judge the Fine Harness
Horses and Roadster classes at the COM
ing August meeting of the Fair in Lex
ington. The invitation was expended
Mr.. Burton at the instance of the
Committee having these matters in
charge. They certainly displayed good
judgment, for no better judge of these
classes of horses could be found either
in or out of the state of Kentucky. Mr..
Burton has signified his attention of
accepting the invitation.

". B. BurtOn's Horse Wins Prize In Dan
vile Carnival Parade.

The May Carnival which is an an
nual affair in Danville, and which is
Danville and Boyle county institution,
participated in by the elite of our
neighboring county, came to close on
last Saturday. In the big parade
which was participated in by nearly
hundred rigs, floats etc, the prize for
the best turnout among the older
students was awarded to the rig driven
by Miss Adeline Wiseman and Mr..
Charlie Mcdowell; the prize was a
handsome silver loving cup. The horse
driven by Miss Wiseman and Mr.. Nc
Dowell was the property of Mr.. w. B.
Burton of this place, and she certainly
demonstrated the fact that she was
amply able to acquit herself in the
proper manner in good company. She
is high stepping, mettlesome black
mare and at the very first sound of
music throws up her head and begins
to show just about such actions as a
young lady who is fond of dancing
does on ball room floor.

ed. The situation has been grave, We
are free to admit; but that it has i'm
proved we are equally sure. The bust
ness of the community has been injur-
ed, we think unnecessarily, and we are
in hopes that our people will profit by
the experience, and will adopt a method
of sanitation in the care for their live
stock equal to that adopted for the
preservation of their own health, and
which will result in the ultimate
stamping out of disease among the
stock of the county.
Some people are under the impression
that it is dangerous to come to town.
This is an error. you are in no danger
of having your horse exposed to the
disease by coming to town to attend to
what ever business may bring you.
Don't hitch your stock to public hitch
ing posts, don't allow them to drink
stagnant water or from public troughs,
simply exercise the proper amount of
caution ard you are in no more danger
in making a trip to town than you are
from driving along the roads of the
county.

C. Basquet, lad of twelve years, re-
sorted to not only unfair means, but
means which were calculated to injure
the cause of the fly swatters consider
cradle more than they would aid it;
he manufactured a ely farm, by
gathering together all the refuse, dead
fish and like filth, and placed it on a
manure heap and then made a screen
over the entire filthy mass in order
that he might gather the coming brood,
which he succeeded in doing to the ex-
tent of three and one half bushels,
thereby winning the contest.
The article says "swatting is use
less and more or less thankless task,
a waste of energy, no matter how well
directed. Don't swat the fly, he is an
efficient sanitary barometer, depend
able danger signal, remove the sur
roundings which make his presence
possible.
A successful campaign against the
fly can be waged by striking at the
root of the evil, remove the cause, and
the effect will of necessity fail to put
in an appearance; remove the manure
heaps, keep the stable in a sanitary
condition, use strong disinfectants
freely. thoroughly disinfect each and
every breeding place, both about the
house, and the outhouses, one fly elm
mated by the ''swatting process" has
perhaps left in breeding place upon
your premises eggs that will leave
several million of his kind to posterity,
one breeding place destroyed is equiv
alent to the swatting of millions of
f1ys.
Mr.. Winans in his article advocates
drastic measures in order to keep a
community free from the breeding
places of the fly, he goes so far as to
advocate laws and penalties for their
violation, even to the placing of the
violators on the ''chain gang, how
ever, IN an enlightened community,
one where the public health is matter
of public veal, such measures are un.
necessary, a campaign of education
will enlighten the people who will
gladly conform to the rules laid dowr
for them, and will lend every assis
lance in their power to the elimination
of the fly by means of destroying his
breeding places.
Let the slogan then be from now or
"starve the fly" instead of "swat the
fly, and we will soon find that oul
labors will be much more prolific of re-
suits.

Simpson.

Mrs. Mollie Simpson, wife of Mr..
John w. Simpson, died at the family
residence in this county, near Marks
bury, on last Saturday night. Mrs.
Simpson has been in feeble health for
several years, aid for the last few
weeks life has only held by a mere
thread. the severance of which was
momentarily expected.
The deceased was in her Gath year
and was the daughter of the late Louis
Philips, who many years ago was one
of the leading business men and mer-
chants of Lancaster. She is survived
by two sisters, Mrs. Sim Cook of Lex
ington and Mrs. Charles Grimes of this
county, and one brother, Lewis v.
Philips of California, and her own
immediate family, consisting of her
husband and two daughters, Misses
Elizabeth and Loula Simpson.
She was a lifelong and consistent
member of the Christian church, and
her pastor Ed. F. M. finder, assisted
by Rev. Mahan of the Fork church,
held funeral services at the family
home on Monday morning, after which
her remains were laid at rest in the
Lancaster cemetery.
To the community IN which she
dwelt Mrs. Simpsons death will come
as a severe blow, as she was loved and
respected by all for her many noble
traits of character, a noble christian
womrn. who delighted in and was con-
stantly seeking Ito do some good for
others.
Many friends in Lancaster, and
throughout this and adjoining counties
will join with the friends and neigh
bois in deepest sympathy to the be-
reaved husband and the two young
ladies in the loss of the dear wife and
mother.

We were pleased when Kentucky was
given the state wide primary law. The
whole purpose of it is to enable the
majority of the voters in each political
party to select the candidate for such
party in primary election. 1t came in
answer to the call from the people for
honest nominating election. Such can
not be had if candidates for nomination
use money or liquor to influence voters.
A non-partisan movement has been
inaugurated by some of the most con-
scientious people of the County to elm
mate such corruption from the August
primary. The pastors of the various
churches of the County are the princi-
pie leaders.
To corrupt and debauch the elector-
ate by the use of money or whiskey is
violation of the law on the part of
both those who give and those who
take. 1t is not only violation of the
law but it is recognized by all right
biiihhAilS pCOplC do OllC VI Jul SIdNSSl
moral wrongs. Still some will have
the temerity to oppose the movement.
A correct principle has little influence
upon some if it does not serve to carry
out their selfish purposes. However,
We are of the opinion that the cause
will be hindered less by those who are
out-spoken against it than those self
seeking and designing persons who de-
sire to get under the wing of popular
movement and be carried by it to the
pay counter of some office.
We believe that those who are be-
hind the good cause are too wise to
suffer such amateur politicians or poll
tical organizations to side tract them
by undertaking to absorb the move
ment. Those candidates and office
seekers who sincerely favor the reform
will find modesty an asset in dealing
with it.

Ice Plant Now Finished And In Operation
A Credit To The Community.

1t has many times been projected by
different persons to construct an ice
plant in Lancaster, and as many time
was the idea discarded as not being
feasible; it remained for Mr.. Henley
V. Basin to exhibit sufficient temerity
to install this plant, which involved the
expenditure of no small sum of money,
and visit to the establishment will
convince the most skeptical that his
efforts will undoubtedly prove success
The plant is model one, with the lat
est and most highly improved machin-
cry, which Mr.. Bastin, who is natur-
ally of mechanical turn of mind, has
already mastered to the minutest detail.
Foreseeing the necessity of outstanding
his water supply, he has erected de-
vice for cooling and reusing his water,
and many other practical labor and
money saving devices ara to be seen,
which bear evidence of the careful
thought given the plant before its con-
struction by Mr.. Basin. He is using
the city water, consuming about 10. 900
gallons per day, and he has made ar
rangements in the event of the city
water supply falling short, which is ex-
tremely improbable, to at once utilize
the water from a never failing spring
on the premises, which is thought am
ply sufficient to keep the plant going to
its capacity, which is tons per day.
The storeroom in conjunction with
the ice plant is already filled with clear
pure ice, sufficient for weeks supply
for the town and county, and it is hop
ed to keep it full, and such a thing as a
scarcity of ice IN the very hottest of
weather. will never be known here
again.
Mr. Basin will also operate his cream
cry, ice cream plant and a bottling
works for bottling aerated waters, in
conjunction with the ice plant, and
everyone in Lancaster is congratulate
ing him upon his achievement in the
construction of this model plant and
wishing him all kinds of success in his
new venture.

Last weeks issue of the Indepenent
magazine contained splendid article
from the pen of Richard M. Winans,
entitled "Starve the fly, and which
advances some new and interesting
theories as to the ultimate destruction

says that the ational slogan of last
year was swat the fly, and it was a
good one in that it served to bring the
fly into the limelight, but that there
should be substituted for it the slogan
'tStarve the fly, and the many con-

this change in the slogan are so in
