Lot Sale a Decided Success.

The sale of lots in Burnamwood
Wednesday afternoon, conducted by
the Jessamine Realty Co., of Nicholas
vile, was a success from every stand
point. Twenty well-located lots were
sold and all were bought by good citi-
zens, most of whom will build in that
pretty part Of the city. The lots dis
posed of at auction were bought some
time ago of Mr.. T. X Hamilton, who
with Mr. Joseph Thurman is response
BILE for that addition to the city of
Richmond. The first lot put up was the
one South of Mr.. Arthur Todd's home
and it brought $40. The next brought
the same money, the next s4l5 and the
fourth s405. The 20 brought and az

Speedy Justice.

Charles Davis and Garfield Eckers,
negroes, claiming to be from the South
and on their way TO Beattyville to work
on the railroad. were brought to this
city Tuesday afternoon by Shelby and
Albert Hisle and Geo. Parks. prominent
citizens of the Red House section. The
gentlemen knowing that they had rough
customers to deal with brought along a
couple of shot guns, and as they came
through town the negroes and guns at
tracted considerable attention. The
Eckers negro was accused OF entering
Shelby Hisle's home and stealing a pis-
tol and pair of shoes and Davis with
carrying concealed weapons. Judge
Shackelford was sought and in a short
while the men were on trial. Davis was
given 80 days in Jail and fined 800 and
Eckers six months sentence in the
county Jail. There was no doubt about
their guilt and the negroes made little
or no effort TO establish their innocence.
A third negro was brought along and he
was ordered to leave the county at once,
and he lost no time in doing so. The
three were located at camp meeting
near Red House and their arrest by the
enraged citizens caused considerable
commotion.

Some time ago the w. G. T. U. of the
west end Of Lincoln county called on the
for county offices to express
themselves as to their position on the
whisky question. Since the request
was made Editor Shelton Saufiey has
been selling much of the Interior Jour

that they m light tell of all the great
things they have done for the dry
side. Only one candidate, so far as we
have seen, has had the temerity to ad-
nit that he was against the county unit
law. In days gone by it was not so pop
ular to be a local optionist, but times
seem to change all things and it or
something else has opened the eyes of
many in that favored county, especially

AS matter Of fact, the new tariff bill

Democratic votes. 1t should appeal to
the Progressives. at least, and some Of
the Republicans whoare not bound hand

can say that they are tired of extortion-
ate tariffs and opposed to giving monop-
oily new lease on life. However, we
fear they have not the courage to rise TO
the importance of the occasion or the
duty of the hour. II the new tariff bill
becomes law it will have to be accom-

what should be done should be done
quickly. The prolonged agony in the
consideration Of the bill is doing the
business of the country more damage
than its passage could possibly do.

The Governments Partner
ship In Crime.

While the illicit distillery is almost a
thing of the past in Kentucky, the In
ternal Revenue Bureau shows that it is
still very active industry in North Car
DINA. According to that authority, dur
ing the last year the official report shows
that 4S6 illicit distilleries were raided
and 1873 prosecutions for the effense were
instituted in the United States Court
OF course, the real number of stills"
largely exceeded this, as it is not sup
possible that the officers found nearly
all of them.
North Carolina is Prohibition State,
yet GIT liquor dealers paid the special
government tax, in addition to 202 who
paid the tax for vending malt liquors.
The government received S20,3l0.39 for
licensing business that the people had
decided should not be carried on in the
State Local self-government was ac-
cordingly thwarted and a business which
had been put under ban, partially pro-
tected by the government and allowed
to run. The law permitting such a
monstrous state OF affairs should be re-
pealed. The National government should
not be permitted to legalize traffic that
State has outlawed. There is hardly
local option town in Kentucky which
has not one, and in many instances a
number of liquor dealers so licensed. In
a certain town where local option has
prevailed for many years the records of
the Collectors office show that in one
year 25 or 30 such licenses we're granted.
This ought not so to be, and it would
not be so were not the liquor power so
powerful in Congress.
Very many men who want to sell liq-
uors that have been prohibited by the
vote of the people are willing to run the
risk of local prosecution, because they
feel that the courts and the juries may
be more lenient with them, but they are
fearful of going up against the National
government and, therefore, secure the

this license is an outrage on the people
who do not wish liquor sold in their To-
calities, and Congress could do no bet
