Mayor John F. Hall and bis
opponent, Mr.. Cooper Sweat,
met in the court room Tuesday
night in a little discussion, 10
which Mayor Hall lead and hence
had the rejoinder. Mayor Hall
defende | himself against certain
charges and made a showing of
the cost of the water and light
plants of the town. Mr.. Sweat
made charges of extravaganza in
the erection Of these plants,
which were contracted under
Mayor O. G.. Gathlngs, and com.
pared the cost of our plants with
that of Murray, Ky. No specific
charge was made against Mayor
Hall, but on account Of certain
statements involving them
selves, Messrs. l.. 7. Fielder, O..
G.. Gathings and Fl. e. Graper
issued a pretty warm paper on
Wednesday evening. The cleo.
tion for Mayor and Aldermen is
in progress as we go to press
Thursday and the result cannot
be published until our next issue.

Swain Audience Kept
Dry by "kant Leek. ,

Kant Leek" is a chemical
creation sought for many years
by canvas users and chemists
alike. In discovering Kant
Leek," Mr.. Swain became pos.
sessed of a solution of unequaled
commercial value for waterproof.
ing and preserving canvas.
Every positive has its negative,
and for years those interested in
waterproof and rotproof canvas
have striven to produce q mega
tive for water that does not con-
tain oil, and in compounding
Kant Leek." Mr.. Swain not only
succeeded in discovering an en-.
tirely new negative Cor opposite)
to water, but also found an af-
fnity for cotton. When applied,
Kant Leek" is Immediately all
sorbed into the innermost core Of
every fibre, and repeated tests
have shown that this preparation
is retained by each individual
fibre during the entire life Of the
canvas. In accordance with the
we'll known scientific that no two
bodies can occupy the same space
at the same time, water cannot
gain access to the fibre while
Kant Leek" is thus retained.
The tents of the w. I. Swain
Show Co., which will the attrac-
ton extraordinary in Lexington

Monday, Septem Der %, are all
treated with Kant Leek," thus
rendering patrons immune from

Many other bills have been introduced representing a wide variety of ideas
 "One of the chief drawbacks to leg islation extending federal aid to the states in highway improvement is the diversity Of opinion as to what form this aid should take, said Mir. Shack elford. "lt was demonstrated in the last congress that there is a1 over. helning sentiment in the house in favor of good roads legislation If anything this sentiment is even stronger in the present congress. But many different propositions have been submitted to the committee in the form of bills introduced by members and from otheF sources.
 Under Mir. Shaekelford's plan of extending aid to the states federal control would be subordinate to that of the state authorities. In this con nection he said;
 Primarily roads are local con cerns and are within the jurisdiction of the states. It IS a fundamental obligation Of every state to provide its inhabitants with easy and convenient ways Of travel and transportation. 1t is, however, a function Of the federal government to carry and deliver the mails It is its duty to provide itself with the facilities necessary to a prop CT performance of this function. There is no more reason why the states should furnish the government with post roads than they should furnish it with postoflfces.
