Another Ocean Horrow.

On last Thursday the Volturno bound
from Rotterdam to New York and hav-
ing on board p first class passengers,
53S steerage and crew of 50 was re-
ported by wireless to he on fire in
mid ocean. Every vessel within call
rushed to the rescue but upon reaching
the scene were prevented from render
ing immediate assistance because of
the prevalence of high wind which
rendered it impossible to get close
enough to the flame wrapped ship to be
of any avail. At daybreak on Friday
morning the wind subsidized and life
boats were enabled to take off the
survivors. AS was the case in the ill.,
stance of the i'll fated Titanic, details
were meager for days and days after
the catastrophe, but thus far the
deaths are placed at 1876 and the num-
Der rescued at 521. The rescued are
on board of fleet of steamers attract
ed by the Volturno's frantic call for
help, and these steamers are bound for
different parts of the country, and until
they all reach port it will be impos-
sible to get a detailed list of those
saved and of those who persisted.

The Mexican situation is growing
more deeply entangled. Pres't Huerta
has had number of the members of
the Chamber of Deputies. which cor
responds to our National Congress,
thrown into prison, because they OPP
posed his will and has issued edicts to
the Powers proclaiming himself in
charge of the various departments of
the Government. In fact this high
minded gentleman seems to consider
himself the ''whole thing" in this
country of many rebellions. However,
he has doubtless involved himself and
his already deeply troubled Republic in
no end of fresh trouble, and his high
handed methods will be frowned upon
by the Powers. The United States
was quick to voice her displeasure at
his actions and in terse note inform
ed him that it was not our desire that
any harm should befall the imprisoned
men. Huerta was quick to assure this
country that they would meet with nc
ill treatment, but would be tried for
sedition.
President Wilson is about to despair
of there being held fair elections in
Mexico, and it begins to look very
much as if the friendly relations be-
tween that country and this would be
speedily severed.

1t is hard to believe that any one

Our Consolidated Schools.

The following from the editorial col
umns of the Courier Journal is of such
interest to our Garrard county friends
it gives US great pleasure to reprint.
"Garrard county's second consolidat-
ed school has just been opened at
Buena Vista. The honor of starting
the first institution of the kind in the
county is enjoyed by the town of Paint
Lick, which some time ago consolidated
two district schools and erected COM
modulus building.
The people of the Buena Vista COM
munity have taken step in advance
of Paint Lick by providing for the
transportation of pupils to and from
their new school. In the beginning
they voted a tax for this purpose, but
after they had purchased four wagons
they found that the remaining funds
would not be sufficient to defray the
expenses for more than half the term.
Another election was called and the
voters by handsome majority elected
| to tax themselves an additional twen-
ty-fve cents on every 500. worth of
property in order that the transporta-
ton programme might be carried out
in accordance with the original inten-
ton.
! The citizens of these two communi-
ties in Garrard county are handling
the educational problem in the right
way. The consolidated schools will
give them better teaching, larger at
tendance and increased efficiency all
around. 1t costs little more to do
these things, but the consolidated
school is worth the money. When the
results to the community are summed
up the good school is cheaper than the
poor one. The old-fashioned "deestrict
skule" with its one teacher and it's
lamentalle lack of all things calculated
to inspire the student has outlived it's
usefulness and is no longer equal to
the needs of prosperous and progress
sive constituency.
Garrard county, there is no doubt,
will have other consolidated schools in
the future as an outcome of the school
improvement at Buena Vista and Paint
Lick. Consolidation is not feasible
everywhere, but it should be striven
for in every county when conditions
warrant it..

The Worst Has Come. Continued
Drought Forces Partial Closing
Down OF Lancaster Water
Works Plant.

The supply of water in the local water
works lake has held out nobly, but there
is limit to all things and the time has
come when Mayor Logan and the City
Council deemed it advisable to at least
cIrtail the amount of water taken from
the lake daily, and to conserve as much
as possible the meager supply remain
ing. With this end in view they have
discontinued supplying water to the Ice
Factory, the two mills and the Light
Plant. The proprietors of the Light
Plant have pool which contains limit
ed amount of water, on their pre-
misses, and with this they will continue
to operate the plant until 10 O'Clock P.
NJ. until this supply is rexhausted, or
until the coming of rain in sufficient
quantities to rep.enish the supply at tie

Why Do Delegate" Never Come To
Lancaster?

Lancaster sends away as many "del-
egates" in the course of year, in pro-
portion to her size, as any city in the
United States. Scarcely week pass
es but we chronicle the going of some
Lancastrian as a delegate to some kind
of gathering. She sends them to
everything from the colored folks u.
B. F. Lodge to the Natioral Conven-
ton of the various political parties, to
all the meetings of the various societies
which the ladies have, to all the meet
ing of the various lodges, both white
and colored, and in fact there is not a
gathering of any consequence anywhere
in the country unless Lancaster is rep
resented by one or more delegates"
And yet the delegates are always
going from and not coming to Lancas-
ter. Why is this, can some one tell
US? Surely some of these gatherings
are desirable, both from a social and
financial point of view. Are we not
prepared to accommodate such gather
ings, or would it overtax our ability to
accommodate even a district Convention
of some infantile society.
We are of the opinion that-we do not
get these gatherings because we dc
not make an effort to get them, do not
Ego cut after them. In our opinion
we are amply able to take care of a
great many gatherings which We could
get were we to make an effort.
We have an opera house, court house,
and commodious school auditorium
which could be utilized for religious
and fraternal purposes, and surely we
are better off for hotels and boarding
houses than 9th er cities which cater to
these gatherings. Then why not get
them? Let the Slogan of the very
next delegate you send away from
home be "Come to Lancaster for your
next meeting, and we will guarantee
that you will eventually land some thing.
These gatherings of themselves may
not be of any material benefit to us
Immediately, but they will serve to ex-
plot our town and county, will serve
to let the world know that we are ION
the map" ard eventually we will be
many times repaid for the hospitality
we extend to the strangers who come
within our gates.
At any rate let US try it once.

they would:donate per cent of their
sales on those days to the road fund.
All of this shows a commendable
spirit and one worthy of emulation
throughout the Commonwealth. In
the absence of a sufficient amount of
money available from the county fund
to properly work the county roads,
and the urgent necessity staring US in
the face that these roads should be
worked, we consider the plan a good
one, provided our people will take
kindly to it. and about the only chance
in sight for the proper working of the
dirt roads of the county this year. A
turning out of all the available help
along the various county roads for two
days of intelligent labor on these roads
would surely work wonders, and We
doubt if anyone who took part in the
labor would even be sorry for the time
and trouble expended.
We hope that in the course of time
some means will be devised for provid
ing for the working of the county
roads without the Governor having tt
issue proclamation or the people liv'
ing along the roads being asked tt
turn out en- masse to place them in {
passable condition. However, in the
meantime the problem is grimly star
ing US in the face and it is up to the
people whether or not they will assis
in the work.
