The Drought Causes Considerable Dam
age To The Agricultural And CON-
mercial Interests OF The County.

A blow at the agricultural interests
of a community IS the most severe
blow that could be struck at the COM
mercial interests of the community,
for the agriculture is the backbone of
the worlds commerce; especially is
this blow vital in a community like
this where farming is the principal re-
source, the main stay and dependence
of the greater portion of it's citizens.
Probably no more severe blow was
ever struck at the farming industry
than the one which has just fallen, the
severe drought, and the damage
wrought is summed up as follow:-corn
crop damaged probably so per cent,
tobacco from 25 to so per cent accord
ing to localities, gardens & etc. almost
a complete failure, grass and pastures
materially damaged and as a result
innumerable flock put on the market
that otherwise could have been carried
longer at a great profit, meadows,
especially timothy, damaged at least
so per cent, and last but not least a
severe scarcity of both stock and
drinking water. Some parts of the
county are worse off for rain than others
the popularity of the rainfall, as mea-
ger as it has been, was remark able,
no later than last Sunday rain fell
near Hackley in such quantities as to
start Back Greek to running, while a
mile east of that point and in full
sight of it, there was not sufficient
downpour to lay the dust.
In the face of this calamity the peo-
pie of the county are as a rule very
cheerful and look at the matter in a
philosophic light; for the past few
years we have been blessed with
abundant crops, and even this year
our wheat crop was better than in
years, and while the drought may
work hardship in many instances,
there are few who will not be able to
weather it out in some manner, be
thankful that it is no worse, and hope
for better conditions next year.

success of the institution, and which if
withheld will deterioate considerably
from its success; school to become a
success in the fullest sense of the word
must have the hearty cooperation of
the patrons. We have good building,
an able and well meaning board of
trustees, a good principal and a good
corps of teachers, now let the patrons
get right behind all of this and add
their quota to the success of an insti-
tuition of which we may all feel proud.
Remember that teachers path, even
under the most favorable circumstan-
ces, is not an easy one, their lot is
trying one, they have much with which
to contend, do not therefore add to
their burden by Withholding your moral
support. Visit the school, not once
but often, encourage your child to pre-
pare its lessons at home, keep them at
home and see that they do this, and if
they chance to be corrected, be sure
they deserved it, teachers do not cor
rect pupils unnecessarily and without
cause, and no child is the worse for
being corrected. By observing these
few suggestions you may not only
make the lives of the teachers little
more endurable, but you will also add
materially to the success of the school.
Try it.

Noel.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Noel of Buckeye
have the sincere sympathy of their
many friends in the death of their bright
little son Marshal Hendren aged 4 years
which occurred at their home on last
Friday, September 5th. and all that was
mortal of the dear little child was plac-
ed at rest on the following Saturday
afternoon in the Lancaster cemetery.
The little fellow had been suffering
with childish ailment which necessita-
ted the calling of the family physician,
but his condition was pronounced very
much improved, and when the last
summons came he was standing beside
the bed in his mothers room indulging
in childish prattle with his brothers and
sisters. All at once the little form
crumpled, the little form was stilled,
and almost in the twinkling of an eye
the breath had departed from his body
and the little soul had returned to Him
who gave it.
Little Marshal was the youngest of a
family of seven children, he was the
light and joy of the household, and the
grief OF the entire family at his sudden
taking was heart rending in the eX-
IRENE.

An Oversight Which May Prove Costly.

The law requires that a cons titutionaI
amendment to be voted uron by the
people of the state must be advertised
at least 80 days preceding the election.
There are two constitutional amend
ments which are to be voted upon at
the coming November election. one Is
to allow the Legislature to classify
property for taxation, the other to per
NIT the working Of convicts outside the
penitentiary walls upon public highways
and other public work. Through an
oversight in the office of Secretary OF
State Crecelius these amendments We're
not advertised within the specified time.
as soon as Mr.. Crecelius discovered tie
oversight he ordered the amendments
advertised at once. and they will be- Of
fered to the vote of the people at the
coming election. However, shouldthev
pass and some person should see proper
to attact their constitutionahty. it
would in ali probability cause consider
able trouble, and there is a possibility
that the amendments would have to be
voted upon again, which could not be
done until 1915, as the law only permits
these amendments going to vote at
the same election at which repre- senta-
lives are elected, which would be two
years from the coming November
election.

Bad Telephone Manners.

In very interesting article on ''Tele-
phone Courtesy, Tin the Woman's Home
Companion, the author says in part:
mo well-bred man or woman would
drop into a mans parlor before he
starts for business in tho morning, and
engage him in long-winded discussion
Yet | have known women interested in
charities or civic movements to call up
business man at his home by telephone
during the breakfast-hour, and start
the conversation by stating that they
had chosen the hour. knowing that he
would surely be at leisure. They
have ignored the crispness if not the
bluntness of his replies, and continued
to talk while his breakfast cooled or
his affairs at the office demanded his
presence. And finally they have Won
dered why their mission failed!
''Would any woman making any pre-
tense to good breeding enter your home
at dinner-time and engage you in con-
versation, knowing that your dinner
and family awaited you in the dining
room? Yet how often have you been
greeted at the telephone with his re-
mark;
oh, were you at dianer? Then
wont keep you minute.
But the minute runs into five or
ten, the talker holding you grimly to
the topic nearest her heart, while your
dinner turns cold.
us it any wonder that business men
protect themselves by sending clerks to
answer the telephone? or that in many
households servants ask who is calling
and what is wanted before summoning
members of the family? How else can
one protect himself from telephone
bores and the abuse of telephone cour-

Miss Eliza IsOn One Of Garrard County s
Most Intelligent And Deserving
Women Receives Richly
Deserved Compliment.

''The Southern Woman's Magazine, 3"
published at Nashville Tenn. and devot-
ed exclusively to the interests of
southern women, recently offered a
prize of $500. for the most appropriate
name for the newly established publica-
ton. This contest was participated in
by women all over the southland, and
among the number was some of the
most intelligent and refined women in
all the world. Of the many names
suggested twenty two persons gave in
the name Every Woman's Magazine, 3"
and the prize was of necessity divid-
ed among this number. each of the
twenty two ladies receiving check for
$22 so as her proportion of the offered
reward. After the awarding of the
prizes the management of the paper
reached the conclusion that the publica
ton had met with such a favorable
reception and had come to be so well
known under its original name of the
Southern Woman's Magazine that
they did not deem it expedient to make
the change.
Among those to suggest the name
which received the prize was Miss
Eliza Ison of Bryantsville KY, who is
a splendid friend of the Record and who
has contributed no little to its success.
Miss Ison is the daughter of Magistrate
Logan Ison, and is one of Garrard
county's most efficient and intelligent
school teachers, and is a lady of no lit
tie literary ability, as is shown by her
aptitude in the suggesting of the sue
cessful name in this contest.
The Magazine, copy of which we
have before us, is ably edited, bright
and newsy, and we hope and expect it
to assume a place among southern
which has long been vacant.

Judge ]. NJ. Benton Proposes To Smoke
Out ViolatOrs OF (he Election Laws
In Clark County.

At the opening of the Clark county
Circuit Court in Winchester on last
Monday Judge J. NJ. Benton in his
charge to the Grand Jury placed great
stress upon the necessity of that body
making rigid inquiry into the viola
tons of the election laws at the last
August primary. In the course of his
remarks Judge Benton made the
startling statement that it was COM
mon talk that fully one third of the
voting population of Clark county was
purchasable. His instruction along
this line was both lengthy and learned
and fully covered every phase of the
case, from the candidate who purchas-
es the money, through the middleman
who uses it and to the voter who ac-
cepts it, suggesting means by which
each and everyone of them may be
ferreted out and just punishment
meted out to them. Those who know
the fearlessness of Judge Benton. both
OF ana OIL the bench, know that he
has the courage of his convictions, and
if the good people of Clark county are
anxious for housekeeping along these
lines, and will give him their moral
support, the housekeeping will surely
be forthcoming, probably to the sor-
row of many, but it will be neverthe-
less thorough.
Judge Benton is we'll known in Gar
rard county, he has occupied the bench
in our court as Pro tenn Judge, and
in his younger days taught school in
county, and there are none who know
him but that are convinced that he is
thoroughly in earnest in his latest move
for the suppression of wrong doing in
his latest move for the suppression of
wrong doing in his district.

Surprising Statistics Compiled About
Education OF Girls And BOYS.

Now, at this back-to-school season,
it is interesting to note that
There are 254, 1913 public school
buildings In the United States.
This school property is valued at
81, POI. sos. 73O.
There are 1888, sos teachers.
The cost of maintaining the public
schools for one year is SAG, 726, 929.
There are 9,OS1, PA boys and $685.
902 girls in these schools.
1t is estimated by the United States
bureau of education that 2,259. Oh new
pupils will enter the schools for the
first time this September.
The above statistics are given in the
September issue of Boys Life, the boy
scouts magazine which made these in
teresting computations.
If the school children in the United
States stood in line with hands on
shoulders they would reach from the
very northern tip of Alaska to the very
southern tip of South America.
If the school buildings of the United
States were arranged close together
in single line they woule reach from
the North Pole to the capitol in Wash
ington.
The school teachers in the United
States would fill two cities the size of
New Orleans.
When the Aquitania is launched in
April 1914, it will be the largest steam
ship ahoat, carrying $3.50 passengers.
1t the school children of the United
States We're loaded on to ships the size
of the AIuitania, and a mile allowed
between every two ships, the string

The cause of education within the
past decade has become matter of
great pride in Lancaster and Garrard
county, and during that time there
has been vast improvement, however,
nothing was ever so good that it could
not be improved upon. Our school
started out on last Monday under the
most auspicIous circumstances of its
history. A new modern equipped
building, from which nothing in the
way of comfort is lacking, was ready
for the school; new principal who
comes to US with the highest recon-
mendations as an educator and a gen.

strengthened and in fact there is alb
solutely nothing lacking which goes to
the making of a splendid school. And

The Democratic party took the first
great step toward the redemption of
party pledges on last Tuesday when
the Tariff Bill passed the Senate
The measure was passed by vote of
A to 81, LaFollette Republican and
PoindeXter, Progressive voting with
the Democrats for its passage, and
two Democrats, Thornton and Rams
dell, both of Louisiana, voting against
it, because of the fact that it means
free sugar. The measure Is calculat-
ed to make a reduction of duties on
imports of % per cent. A committee
was at once appointed to confer with
the House on the matter, and the
measure is expected to go to Pres.
Wilson in two weeks for his signature
The new Tariff Bill is the result of
much labor and thought upon the part
of some of the most intellectual men
in the country, and is the very best
measure that could possibly be framed
as the issues contained therein are for
the most part purely local to one or
another part of the country, which of
course necessitated equallizing, and
every section Of the bill was fought
step by step, and only adopted into it
after the most trying and painstaking
efforts upon the part of those who
were engaged in framing it.
President Wilson expressed the
greatest satisfaction at the outcome of
the measure in the Senate, and it is
his belief that upon the whole it will
prove acceptable and beneficial to the
great majority of the American people.

Thomas B. Robinson Of Ganard County
Receiving Favorable Mention As
The Successor OF Collector
WiSeman.

Just who is to be the Revenue Col
lector for this district to succeed w.
W. Wiseman has not yet been settled,
nor does there seem any likelihood of
it being settled at any very early date.
We do not have an idea who will be the
successful aspirant, they are all good
men and true democrats. and we shall
be satisfied with the selection, whoever
it may be. We predicted some time
since that whoever knocked this plum
would have Col. T. B. Robinson of
Garrard county as a contending factor,
and our prediction is proving true. for
within the past week Mr.. Robinson's
name has been so frequently and
favorably mentioned as to indicate that
he is strongly in the running. The
game of politics is susceptible to many
changes, circumstances arise which
without moments notice place an
entirely different aspect upon matters,
sometimes placing men who seemed to
OliNl uDOil SC1 ldlIl DldC6
completely out of the lists, and at the
same time elevates dark horse to the
front rank. MIR. Robinson has never
blazoned his aspirations to the world,
but the willy old politician has never
tagged in his efforts, he has had the
assistance and advice of friends who
were not only past masters of the art
of diplomacy, but were also in close
touch with 1.-The powers that be-, and
when this juicy plum falls. we should
not be at all surprised 20 see it drop
into the basket of our own clever
Tommy Robinson. One thing is
certain, it could not go to a more
deserving man. Bob Hunter of
Jessamine, John Gibson Of Madison
Shelton Saufey of Stanford, DIR. Dish
man of Knox, Ben Smith of Pulaski,
Judge John Hughes of Mercer, and all
of the other candidates tor this office,
including several from Boyle, are all
good democrats, and each and everyone
of them has doubtless yielded yeoman
service to his party in days gone by,
but investigate as you may, put the
acid test If you choose, and you will
not find one of them who has done
more, harder or more effectual work
for the cause of democracy than Mr..
Robinson, and innumerable friends,
not alone in this his own county, but all
over the district, would be delighted to
see him receive his just measure of
reward in the shape of the Internal
Revenue Collectorship for the Eighth
District of Kentucky.
