HALE'S MISSION.

That the cabinet is seriously cOnSid-
ering what its relations shall be with
the Constituencies is n fact settled
beyond doubt. The visit Of Bayard Hale
to the C~arranZista headquarters un-
doubtedly means that the president is
investigating the EarranZa movement.
This, however, may mean much or little.
1t may be that the government has taken
no steps that in any way commits Itself
to the revOlutiOniStS. The conference III
(which Hale figured is perhaps for pur-
poses of informant n: yet it means that
Washington is looking in the direction
of the rebels to see if any solution OF the
Mexican problem lies in that direction
As The Herald recently remarked. the
idea is growing in popularity here in
the southwest. 1t appears to be growing
i'm popularity among Senators in Wash
ineton-especially growing IN favor
among senator's of the foreign relations
committee. Nevertheless the idea calls
for serious consideration on the part OF
the president and his advisers. \ good
many questions will have to be asked
and answered satisfactorily before 50 i'm
portant a step can be taken with safety.
What is the Carranza government?
Where is it? To what extent do the reb-
el factions in MeXico recognize it? What
is-the extent of Carranzas power TO
control them? What assurance can
Carranza give that if the arms embargo
is lifted the arms will he used for the
purpose of regular warfare, under ore
leadership. to one common end. rather
than for dcsultory fighting by irrespon-
sible guerrilla bands which recognize no
common leadership and no common an
thority? The lifting of the embargo on
arms NAV be the correct solution Of the
problem but the proposition is fnii Of
difficulties. Therefore the president IS
proceeding with caution.

can hardly see. For the purpose of Sc

Cincinnati Suffering From Strikes.

Cincinnati seems to be double cursed
in the way of strikes. Scarcely did
they get the strike of the street car
employees settled when the workers in
the various ice factories of the city
went on strike. This strike included
the wagon drivers and because of the
extremely hot weather. severe hardship
was worked upon the people of the city.
Demands were made upon all the cities
within a radius of several hundred
miles. but their combined efforts only
amellorated the situation to a slight
extent. The various fire engine houses
and police stationswere turned into ice
depots, and all efforts in their power was
made by Mayor Henry Hunt and the
city officials to relieve the situation as
much as possible. Danvillie and Lex
ington aided by sending what surplus
ice could be spared.

Only A Month Remains.

With the coming of next Tuesday
only one month will remain for the
various candidates to urge their claims
upon the voters of the county, and they
are taking advantage of every minute
of the time. Last Saturday saw good
crowd in town and each and every voter
was being importuned by the men who
are seeking office. In so far as we can
see the campaign seems remarkably
free from the use of undue influence,
and the outlook is that the persistent
''fioat" is surely going to have poor
picking. There seems to be trend, a
voluntary trend, toward the holding of
fair and uninfiuenced elections in the
county, and we sincerely believe that
the time is not far off when the use of
either money or whiskey in elections in
Garrard counts will be thing of the
past. and every voter will 60 to the
polls and vote his sentiments without
having to account to anyone, either be-
fore or after he casts his ballot.
Within the democratic ranks in some
of the races the rivalry is strong and
the candidates and their friends are
putting forth every effort in their power.
However, they are all good men, and
the rivalry is good natured and free
from personalities. This is as it should
be, and no matter who receives the
various nominations, the defeated
candidates should and will be satisfied.

church at five thirty Wednesday after
noon. The church had been beautiful

and white. While the throng of friends
and relatives assembled MISS Mary
Higgins played, in her usual delightful
manner, the Nocturn in E fiat by Cho-
pin, and Mrs. Bromley artistically rem
dered on the violin Serenade by Beck
er. After this Mr.. George D. Hopper,

strains of the Lohengrin wedding

ed the church. First came Mr.. John

Mr.. C. D. McCollister, then Miss
Eloise Love and Miss Mary Burch in
opposite aisles, and Miss Margaret
Warren, maid of honor, alone, these
were followed by Miss May Asbury,
the ring bearer. Then came Mrs. John

her brother, Mr.. Ashby M. Warren,
who gave her in marriage. They were
met at the alter by the groom and his
best man, Mr.. Darden Asbury together
with Rev. P. L. Bruce, who said the
ceremony in very impressive manner.
During the ceremony Miss Mary Hig-

to this is the fact that great number

this came welcome showers Sunday and

Thomas Ralston Gets An Indeterminate
Sentence OF From Two To Twenty
One Years In The Penitentiary
For Manslaughter, In The
Circrit Court.

A jury in the Garrard circuit court
on last Friday found Thomas Ralston
guilty of manslaughter, and under the
law he will be given the indeterminate
sentence of from two to twenty one
years in the penitentiary. Mr.. Rails
ton was defended by Judge Lewis L.
Walker. James |. Hamilton and H.
Clay Kaufman, while Comr onwealth's
Attorney E. V. PuryeRr and County
Attorney j. E. Robinson were assisted
in the prOsecutioE by Henry Jackson
of Danville KY.
On Saturday Jan. 6. 1912 Ralston
shot George Finley in the store of
Woods & Treadway at Paint Lick; the
wound produced partial paralysis, the
wounded man was brought to the Lam
caster Hospital on the following Mon
day and DIR. Barrow was summoned
from Lexington in consultation with
local physicians. but their efforts Were
fruitless, and the young man died on
Friday January 18th. Ralston surren-
dered, claiming self defense, and was
admitted to bond to await the action of
the grand jury. The first trial proved
Ineffective because of defect in the
indictment and second trial resulted in
hung jury. During the encounter
Mrs. Rodney Griggs. sister of Rails
ton received a bullet wound in her
thigh from Ralston's revolver; she with
Frank Ralston his son, were attempt
ing to disarm him; her wound was a
painful one at the time, but she soon
recovered from it's effects.
The convicted man is 50 years of age
and has wife and several children,
while the deceased was 26 years of age
and unmarried. Ralston was born and
reared in the Paint Lick section of the
county, while the dead man came to
this county several years ago from Jes-
samine county, but was originally from
Whitley county.

and they are not as careful in their
