The central record. (Lancaster, Ky.) 18??-current, 1913-07-18

Today we publish partial list of can
didates who have been nominated thus
far in the Central Records Great Prize
Subscription Campaign. The names of
scores of contestants appear. The
number certainly indicates a remark
able interest in what is destined to be
one of the most friendly struggles for
a rich reward ever launched in this vi
cinity.
In this list will be found popular and
energetic people from all over this sec
ton of the state. The names were
sent in in many cases by people who
expect their friends to get busy and
win one of the valuable prizes. 1t is
an indication of the confidence some
friend has in that candidates ability to
win. 1t is a gague of capibility and
inferentially nice little compliment.
MANY NEW NAMES MAY COME.
1t is the experience of the contest
manager that a great many nomina-
tions come in after the first list is pub
lished. 1t gives the people the oppor-
tunity to look over the list of names
and see if their friends have been en-
tered. So for that reason many new
names will appear in each district for
some time to come.
MAY ENTER ANY TINE.
Don't get the impression that by the
publication of the names the nominal
tons are closed. Candidates may, and
will enter the race for many days to
come and some of the ultimate winners
may not enter for a week or ten days
yet. Friends of prospective candidates
will have the privilege of sending in
nominations throughout the life of the
contest. If the name of your favorite
does not appear in the list published
today, send in the name and address
without delay.
There are many people living in this
section of the state who would gladly
enter such a competition if they only
knew about it in time. Although we
have sent out thousands of sample
copies the past week, it is impossible
to give the contest WIDE enough publ
city so that everyone will hear about il
the first two or three weeks. So We
will consider it favor if our subscri-
bers and friends all over this territory
will help US by nominating popular peo-
pie from their vicinity. Just pick out
several popular people from your
neighborhood whom you think woult
like to win prize and send in the
nominations. If you have not enough
nomination blanks, simply write their
names and addresses plainly on piee,

With this list of names published
today, indicating the class of popular

That West Virginia pays its coal min
ers the highest wages Of any State in
the Union is statement which was
made to the House Of Representatives
a few days ago by Congressman S. B.
Avis, of The third district Of West Vir-
GINA. It is well known that higher
wages are paid to miners in the United
than in any other country. Therefore,
if the statement of Captain Avis be
true, West Virginia must have the best
paid coal miners in the world Ii one
has doubts as to the truth Of the state
rnent of Captain Avis he might question
any one of the 10000 miners in West
Virginia, who doubtless will be glad to
know they have a champion in Congress
who thinks they receive more than any
one else for the same kind of work. It
has just cost the State half million
dollars to compel the miners in Kanawha
county, the home of Captain Avis, to
return TO work, which seems TO be a
strange proceeding if they are getting
such good pay as the Congressman
would indicate.
The result of the visit of the West
Virginia delegation to Secretary of the
Interior Lane is that the geological sur
vey work carried on. jointly by the
United States and the State of West
Virginia will proceed for another year

While the committees of the House
have not been namedyet, it is a forgone
conclusion that Congressman W. G..
Brown, of King wood, will be member
again of the committee on Banking and
Currency in which he took very active
part in the last Congress. This COM
mittee is to be one of the most active
committees in the House at this
session, for the tariff and currency
legis alton are the two subjects to
which the session is to be devoted Be
sides the Ways and Means committee,
which has had charge of the tariff bill
in the House, no other committee will
have such prominent or important work
before it at this session as the commit

Mr.. Chairman: thank the gentle
man for what he says, but the only
business in which am Interested is the
pig-iron business and the iron and steel
business in my own district. There is
not an item in it that has not been re-
duced in this bill.
go far as the Birmingham district is
concerned, its great iron supply has
beeu put upon the free list for the bene-
fit of the country generally. The coal
that it produces has gone tothe free LIST.
The greatest manufacturing plant in the
district is steel-rail mill, and rails
have goue to the free list, because that
industry is controlled by a monopoly.
The next greatest plant in the district
is wire plant, and part of their pro-
duct has gone to the free list.
do not mean to say thatI would
have advocated putting these articles
on the free list / thought that they
ought to bear tax revenue The item
il this bill sthat am more interested in
than any OTHER is pig iron, ard although
the gentlemen from New York, Mr..
Payne, cut the rate on pig iron from 81
: to $3.50 in his bill, in this bill we cut
the rate from $2.50specific to per cent
ad valorem, which at SIS pig iron would
mean$1 20 a ton, or cut of 80 per cent.

hats to. the Gentleman from Ala

manner in which he has steered

he has handled a delicate piece Of

and in such manner as to evoke
