THE DISTANCE CANNON CAN BE
HEARD. During the late battle at
Gettysburg it is remarkable fact
that the cannonading was heard at
CiSOhoou' St ouuSy lFdulh, ulSJduCe
on an air line of one hundred and twen-
ty-fve miles. On Friday, the third
inst, two gentlemen OF Gre eensburg
drove out few miles southeast from
there, and calling at farm house the
owner inquired what the news was
from the battle. The farmer said that
there was great battle going on, rs
he mad hear,i the cannon the evening
before and that morning. Driving a
mile or two further they stopped at
another farm house where they stayed
for dinner, and here learned that the
firing had been heard all the early
part of the night before and all that
morning of the third. When listening,
these gentlemen could then distinctly
hear it, the sounds being sharp, and at
times so frequent that it was i'm possible
to count the discharges. On lying
down on the ground they could dis
tinctly feel the jarring.

Judge John Y. Leavell County Judge OF
Reeves County Texas, Dies Al His
Home In Pecos.

Judge John Y. Leavell, county Judge
of Reeves county Tex, died at his
home in Pecos Tex on last Friday
night after an illness Of several months
duration. Mr.. Leavel has been a long
suif from complication Of dis
eases, but the immediate cause of his
death was heart disease. His remains
were inferred at Pecos on last Sunday.
Mr.. Leavel was born in Garrard
county Ky. on January 10, 1853. and
lacked but a few days Of being 60
years Of age at the time Of his death.
He was a son Of the late John Y.
Leavell, and was prominently connect
ed throughout this portion of Kentucky.
He is survived by his wife to whom he
was married on October q. 1897, and
who before her marriage was Mrs.
Alice Williams of Graham Tex, and by
two brothers, Messrs A. ID. and Wal
ker Leavell Of this county. and four
sisters. Mrs. X. o. Armstrong of
Frankfort KY. Mrs. Jasper Bogie Of
Edinburg Ind. and Mrs. j. W. Francis
and Miss Belle Leavell of this place.
John Y. Leavell is one of the many
sons of old Garrard who has success
fully wooed and won fortune in the far
west, and The extent of his success il
attested to by the high esteem in
which he was held in his adopted home.
He left this county for Texas in 1880,
and but once since that time has he
visited his native heath, in 1906 during
the homecoming" he came here on a
visit, and 80 long had he been away
that the old home and home people
were almost as strangers to him.
Mr.. Leavell's popularity in Reeves
county was almost unbounded, so great
that for the asking he might have any
office within their gift. lie had served
eight terms as sheriff of the county
and but recently had entered upon his
second term as county judge. To all
who remember him during the days of
his early manhood spent here in his old
home, the news of his death will come
as sad intelligence; and to his relatives
here the heart of the entire communi. |
ty. In which the Record joins. goes out
In coincidence for their loss. But with
the sad Intelligence of his Death is
mingled the county pride which we all
feel that one of our sons has left be-
hind him the splendid heritage of an
honorable career, and we point with
bride TO the fact that the good county
Il Garrard gave him birth.

No Decision From The Senatorial Com
mi.tee Casey Couniys Member Ab-
sent, And The Commute Ad-
jOurned To Meet Again
Today.

When the friends and attorneys Of
the announced candidates for senator
from this district assembled at the
court house in Stanford last Saturday
To meet the district committee. Hon.
Chas Montgomery Of Casey was not
present and II was soon learned that
he would not be able To attend the
meeting Under the agreement. Mr..
j. !. Hamilton was permitted to have
some one To act in his stead. he being
member of the district committee.
and he has asked Mr.. W. II. Brown TO
act as chairman Of the Garrard County
committee. Representatives Of Mr..
Hamilton urged Chairman Penny TO
call the meeting and have the three
county committeeman present to hear
the facts and decide under the CON
tract that had been signed by Mr.
Hamilton and Mr.. c. X. Anderson of
Boyle, whether it was Garrard or
Boyle County's time TO furnish the
nominee for the party. Mr.. Anderson
and his friends objected and contended
mat the contract called for a full meet
ing OF the committee. Chairman Pen.
ny held that as was the first meeting
10 consider the contract that he thought
best tn give Mr.. Montgomery another
opportunity to be present and continu-
ed the matter until Friday, January
nth. Mr., Hamilton had the affidavit
OF Senator George Fsrris stating that
IN 1901 the Democratic Committee of
Casey county being in session with
candidate from Boyle present declined
to put candidate in the field for the
nomination and made him, Farris.

Henry Jackson, Robert Evans and
Chenault Huguely of Danyille as rep
resentatives of Mr.. Anderson. IL is
now rumored that Mr.. Montgomery of
Casey refuses to meet with the other
three committeeman to pass upon this
contract, taking the position that since
the enactment of the primary election
law that the committee has no jurisdic-
lion to pass upon the question and that
who shs be the nominse should be
eft to the voters of the district. IL is
further rumored that Casey will have
candidate for the nomination and
hat this is the reason that Casey's
Committeeman refuses TO take any
part in settling the rights of Garrard
md Boyle under the contract. Ia
Gems to be generally conceded that
hould the committee meet, that under
he terms of the contract the Com
nittee would necessarily decide in
avor of Garrard county. and in such
went. Mr.. Hamilton would be the
ominee.

At the head of our editorial column
you will see the names of many an
nounced candidates for county offices

accustomed to strenuous campaigns for
nominations in this county and the
pending campaign will likely be no ex-
ception, this being the first primary for
county Offices since the enactment of
the present law.
A few suggestions TO the candidates
before any excitement may prove
beneficial. While we see every indlca-
ton that those who are announced for
nominations are in earnest and intend
20 urge their claims with the usual per-
sistence. we are satisfied that the con.
test will be upon higher plain than
heretofore had in such figl Is. We can
give assurance to every candidate that
the primary will be fair in every par

We are unable at this time to venture
any sort of safe prophecy who the
democrats Of Kentucky will select as
their nominee for U. S. Senator at the
August primary. In fact, we believe
only small percent Of the voters have
any fixed determination at present tc
whom of the announced or mentioned
candidates for the nomination they will
give their support. However. we fee
justified in saying that we can not see
any thing upon which the Hon. Dave
Smith or his friends could base the
faintest hope for his success.
But between Congressman Stanley
and Ex-Gov. Beckham there is going
to be a fight, battle royal. We know
them both pretty well. We have en-
joyed friendly acquaintance with
Governor Beckham since he first enter
ed political life and have had a high
personal regard for him, and it has
been our pleasure to give hearty sup
port and approval to many of his posi-!
tons upon public matters.
There has existed between US and
Congressman Stanley the wsrmest per-
sonal friendship for several years be-
fore the approval of the public eye fell
upon him and during all these years
we have found him charming COM
panion and true friend and knowing so
we'll of his brilliant attainments We
were not surprised at the enviable
success he so rapidly made as lawyer.
We have rejoiced with his many
friends in every new honor accorded
him at Washington in the service of
the people. He is a capable and an
incompatible statesman, worthy of the
confidence of the people.
We have readers who are supporting
Gov. Beckham and others Mr.. Stanley.
We shall content ourselves, for the
present at least in giving the news
about the campaign with such ed
itorial comments as suggested during
the progress of the contest, subject to
the parties welfare and the public good.

| Now that the Panama canal is near
! ing completion, many questions arise
as to it's use. That is, will American
vessels be allowed free passage through
this canal. Undoubtedly, if American
vessels were given free passage, our
Merchant Marine, at one time the envy
OF the world, but now disgrace TO any
nation, would regain its former pres
tige. The last congress lodged the
question after months of squabling and
it looks as if the decision will be left to
The Hague Tribunal. President Taft
in his recent speech at the luncheon of
the directors of the international Peace
/ Forum in New York said that he fav-
ored the impartial arbitration of the
issue taken by Great Britain in regard
to the canal. In this speech President
Taft expressed the hope that settle
mert of the issue could be reached be-
fore the present administration had
ended.
The matter undoubtedly should be
left to arbitration. but it seems unfair
TO the United States to arbitrate the
matter at The Hague Tribunal. A
SPECIAL board of arbitration composed
of an equal number of citizens of the
United States and of Great Britain is
much to be preferred. If the question
is arbitrated at The Hague all Europe
would be against this nation. and the
pressure brought to bear upon the men,
bers of the tribunal would be enormous
because all Europe is interested in Pan
anna tolls as much as England. In
court in which only England and the
United States are represented there
would be much greater chance of
fair decision. Many Democratic as
well as Republican Senators have ex-
pressed the opinion that special court
Of arbitration should be created to set
tie the matter.

that when you pay five cents for a
cigar. you buy YOUR tobacco back at
the rate Of IS. 20 a pound and if you
smoke ten cent cigar your tobacco is
costing you $50 pound. He didn't

five cents cigars as no one but editors

The widespread demand for better
roads is shown by the fact that fifty
road bills were introduced in the Sixty
second congress by Senators and Rep
resentatives from every section of the
country and it can be presumed they
were acting in Difference to the senti-
ments of their constituencies This
demand for better roads necessarily
is resulting in the improvement of local

devotes much Of his spare time TO the
