trates Boyd and Mccormick
Compose Trial Court.

The Contest Board, composed of
County Judge w. o. Chenault and
Magistrates f. p. Boyd and o. w.
Mccormick met Monday in the
County Court room and proceeded
to hear the contest fled by Mess. ID.
N. Young and others contesting the
recent Local Option election held in
Montgomery county. The hearing
did not begin until in the afternoon,
owing to the ABSENCE of Judge Ed.
c. O'Rear, of Frankfort, chief coun-
sci for the "dry" forces and the
afternoon was consumed by Mr..
Jno. G. Winn and Judge O'Rear in
the presentation of their side Of the
case and an adjournment was had
until the afternoon of today WED
nesday) when Judge Lewis Appcr-
son, attorney for the "wets" will be
heard.
AS we go to press the result is not
known, yet it is the concensus of
opinion that the "drys" will win.
The case will then be appealed to
the Circuit Court and then to the
Court of Appeals. 1t is also assert
ed on good authority that, an attempt
will be made to get the U. S. Courts
to take jurisdiction on the constitu-
tional question raised that the pres
ent Local Option law deprives those
in the liquor business of their prop
erty without due process of law.
1t is also rumored that an at
tempt will be made by mandamus to
compel the Mayor and City Council
to grant licenses for 1915 on the
ground that the result of the cleo
ton is not in force until the con
test is finally determined by the
highest court to which it can be APP
pealed.

er, Mrs. C. o. Moberly, and two
sisters, Miss Minnie Moberly and

TO BEAUTIFY EYESORE

Mrs. James A. Leech, Chairman Of
the Kentucky Federation of Wom-
ans Clubs last week sent about 100
hardy flower plants to a member of
the club here who had them placed
on the vacant lot opposite the c. (
o. depot. The lot has always looked
very badly and we are sure the
planting of the flowers will be APP
preciated by the entire travelling
public.

IN dear old Montgomery. When one
considers the fact that the leaders
Of those who entertain different tenn
perance views have been actively
working against him ever since the
primary, one is forced to conclude
that he has made Il race of which
he ought to be proud.
Although honestly nominated and
entitled to the support of all those
who participated in the primary, he
was slaughtered in the city of Mt.
Sterling and but for the brave Dem
ocrats of the country precincts,
would have lost the county.
The result bespeaks brighter and
better day politically, due to a quick
ened public conscience and demon
strates that an honest, capable man,
with convictions and courage enough
to express them, can without money,
get majority Of the votes in old
Kentucky for the highest office
within the gift of the people of the
State.

Roads to Ask Higher
Rates on Fresh Meats

WASHINGTON, Oct. s1.-Increases in
freight rates. ranging from 10 to 10 per
cent on dressed meats. live stock and
packing house products. are being pre-
pared by the eastern railways for sub
mission to the Interstate Commerce COM
mission. The prospect today was that
the proposed new rates would be sus-
pended when filed. pending an investi-
cation.
The present rate ON dressed beef be-
tween Chicago and New York is Is cents
a hundred pounds on a minimum car load
weight OF 1000 pounds, II IL proposed
by the roads 70 advance the rate to 50
cents q hundred and increase the
minimum carload weight TO q 900 pounds
These factors would increase the trans
portation charge per car from so to
Sos. or about l6 per cent.
Similar increases are proposed on live
stock and general packing house prod
ucts. Live cattle would be advanced
from 80 to 3S cents a hundred pounds be-
tween Chicago and New York: hogs and
sheep IN double decks from q to 80 cents
hogs and calves in single deck cars, from
80 to s. cents; sheep and goats in single
deck cars from 30 to IL cents, and packing
house products generally from 30 to 50
cents.
The new tariffs are expected to be
filed by or before the end Of November
In that event they would become effeo-
tive, unless suspended by the commission,
