The Right Idea

Join the Saving Club of the
Third National Bank. Deposit
one dollar a week, or two dollars,
or as much as you can regularly
save. This, at compound inter-
est, will grow in ten years to a
large amount.
Only one dollar a week for ten
years, compounded, will amount
to $672.80. What amount will
you save every week?

Mr.. Scott Passes Away.

Mr.. Chas. Scott, the aflable
General Passenger Agent of the
l.. & f. Ry., died in Lexington
Saturday night after a brief Ill.
ness. Mr.. Scott had been in de-
clining health for the past year,
but was able to attend his duties
in the railroad office until the
week he died. Burial Monday
in the Lexington cemetery. His
wife and three children survive.
He has no other people in Amer
lea.
Mr.. Scott was born in Scotland,
but came to this country a mum.
Der of years ago. He came to
Clay City back in the sos. lie
had lived III Canada several years
before coming To Clay City.
Though he moved from Clay City
a number of years ago, he retain
ed a most kindly feeling for the
old town, and it wa5 through his
efforts that the beautiful little
park in this city is maintained
by the l.. d N. He was IA man
of kind heart and always had a
smile and obliging manners for
everyone he met. If all officers
of the railroads of this country
were of the heart aud disposition
of Mr.. Scott, there would be no
strikes nor need for regulation
by law, lie did justice to every
man which can hardly be siad Of
most railroad officials. Mr.. Scott
was a large stock holder and a
director in the Clay City Nation
al Bank.

Thomas -four years ago, he re-
maihed silent, thereby admitting
that he couldn't.
He produced a purely business
letter Mr.. Thomas had written
(while in the Senate, he said)
to whiskeg concern, in which it
appeared MIR. Thomas was dick
ering for some by.product for
cattle feed, and aimed to make
it appear as though Mr.. Thomas
as Senator was communicating
with the whiskey people, all Of
which was for the purpose of
misleading the voters. The truth
of it is, doubtless, the whiskey
people are not only furnishing
Mr.. Cantrill with private bust
ness letters to attempt to fool
the people, tut they are furnish
ing him with thousands of dol
lars TO buy his way back into
Congress. This is evident if it
cannot be proved.
The remainder of his argument
was a reiteration of former
speeches, all of which has been
disprOved to the satisfaction of
all but those who are of the
class convince a man against
his will and he is of the same o
piniOn still" with the exception,
however, of some other issues of
which Mr.. Thomas is also sup
porting.
Mr.. Cantrill suddenly became
very warm. and discontinued
his address before getting to an
swer the charges of the Clay City
Times as he said he was there for
the purpose of doing when he
started. a,,JsS--S
Immediately upon his conclus-
ion the editor of the Clay City
Times appealed to CantrilPs
managers to see Mr.. Cantrill and
get permission to reply to the vi
ciOus remaks made upon him.
He was very modestly denied
such privilege. He then asked
for an introduction to Mr.. Can.
trlll and this was also denied.
Why were we thus so disrespect-
fully treated? The nswercOmes,
"t0 save the humiliation of Cant
rill' and at least it was IA wise
move for his benefit.

CANTRIIL AT CLAY CITY.

Congressman j. &. Cantrlll
spoke in this city Saturday night
to a well.iilled house, a good
many of whom were either Ia
dies or Thomas men. He was in
troduced by II. &. Crabtree, who
made a better speech than Mr..
Cantrill. In the beginning Mr..
Cantrill paid. his respects to the
newspapers of the district, and
The Clay City Times in particu.
lar he denounced IN no uncertain
terms. He said he was here TO
refute the charges made by these
papers. This was just what the
Times had urged him to do, but
his saying that he was going to
do so was all that he did for he
never answered a single charge
nor did he attempt to do so.
Why didn't he? Because he
knew he couldn't. The Times
had told the truth and he knew
it, thus he cOntented himself by
making his set speech, inter-
spersing it occasionally with viii
itication of the Clay City Times,
which he always referred to with
out calling its name, but when
he spoke of local paper in this
town, all knew what lie meant.
He attempted to answer a few
of the things Mr.. Thomas charg-
ed him with. Mr. Thomas charg-
ed him with aiding in the cleo
ton of Bradley. To offset this
he SAID he had raised $4,000 to
help elect a Democratic Legisla-
ture. He didn't say though, that
this was whiskey money raised
for the purpose of electing whis-
key members only who were to
vote for some Democrat other
than Beckham, If possible, and if
not possible, to vote for Bradley
as they did 10. These are the
kind of Democrats Cantrill al
ways helps to elect. He didn't
deny for once aiding in the cleo
ton of Bradley after the Lesis-
lature met.
He SAID again that Mr.. Thomas
had got HIM to make IA deal with
the liquor people of Winchester
and Mt. Sterling to support
Mr.. Thomas, and that he did.
Mr.. Thomas, it will he remem-
bered, had no opposition in eth
er the primary or general cleo
tion, and in answer to our query
to him to name his opponent and
tell why he didn't expose this
deal when he was running against

John G. White, If Winchester.

The ladies' of Stanton have set n
side the 18th day Of August to the
people of Powell county as a clean
up day in the Stanton cemetery.
They ask that everybody who has
any of their loved ones buried II,
this cemetery come out this day
and give their time TO beautifyiHg
the cemetery. And if you cannot
come yourself they request that you
send a man. Let everybody bring
their dinner on this day. The writ
er has called the attention of The
people of Powell county several
times to this cemetery and what
beautiful place it could be made
with little work. We are glad
these good women have sent opt
this appeal and we t.ust that there
will be Il ready response. Do not
forget the day and please send word
out to all you know who have low
ed ones buried there.
Mr.. J. Campbell Cantrill address,
ed the voters of Stanton last Ftl-
day in the interest of his race for
Congress from the Seventh District.
His whole speech was defending
his record on the whiskey traffic. "A
man is in pretty hard place when he
has to defend his vote on the liquor
question. If he votes in its favot
why defend it? Mr.. Cantrill said
that he was better temperance
man than his opponent, Hon. Claude
Thomas, because when the DAVE
bill came up he voted in favor OF Il
andvhad-the records from Congress
to prove it. But he failed to state
to the people that this Davis bill
was an amendment to the Webb
Kenyon bill. The Judiciary Com
mittee had voted adversely to th'a
bill and all the leading members of
the House voted against it and all
the temperance people were against
the Davis amendment because l.
would have destroyed the effect Of
the Webb Kenyon bill. This was
why Mr.. Cantrill voted for the DaV-
is bill, not because it was a tenn
perance measure but because 1T was
in favor of the whiskey gang. Mr.
Cantrill opposed the Webb Kenyon
bill because he said 1.-THE states
have no right to interfere with the
government in the interstate ship
ment of liquor" And at stanton
he said "he was opposed 70 the
Hohson National Prohibition Res-
olutiun because the government
has NJ right 20 interfere with the
states. We would like for Mr.
Cantrill to harmonic these two
statements. And then he made
spectacular rush back to Washing
ton To- introduce resolution asking
for a speedy vote on National Pro
hibition because he thought there
was a temporary opportunity "a de-
feat that measure which proves his
very close touch with and his ready
response to the whiskey people,
Mr.. Cantrill tried to link up hrs
opponent with the saloon people ot
Paris. This has been disprOven by
Mr.. Thomas and by everybody who.
knows him. The great Thomas 2
Club in Bourbon county say that
Mr.. Thomas name cannot he link
ed up with the liquor gang IN any
way OF at any time. There are a

Club in Georgetown and Scott coun-
ty who are opposed to Cantrill he.

the politics of our country being
dominated by the saloons and
other special interests.
"For years without break,
we have seen Mr.. Cantrill line
up with the liquor forces, from
the selection of officials of his

in Congress.
1--WE are opposed to Mr.. Gan

years ago.
1--WE are opposed to Mr.. Can
