Pattie A. Clay Infirmary.

This noble charity has been strug-
Cling for a number of years and is bare
ly able to make both ends meet. 1t is
true That the county has been giving
$1,000 year and the city about $500 "a
year towards the support of the institu-
ton, but this is not really a gift. The
county and city have merely been pay
ing for the patients which they send to
that institution, and get value received
The noble band of women who have
kept it alive have worked faithfully day
and night, and by their untiring energy
have succeeded in paying off deficit
amounting to something over 800 the
past year. They did this by soliciting
voluntary subscriptions and by giving
court day dinners and other things
which call for much individu al effort on
their part.
The people should rally to the sup
port of this institution. II is very much
needed in our midst. and if it should be
suspended the property will be lost. be-
cause there is reversinary clause in
the deed of gift.
The impression that this institution
is being run for individual profit is en-
tirely erroneous. and the good christian
women who are in charge of it receive
nothing for their time and efforts. 1t is
purely a work Of charity on their part.

Public Speaking.

Judge w. r. Shackelford, of Rich
mond. opened the Democratic campaign
here Monday with a clean cut, fair and
forceful speech. He'spoke of the achieve
mentS of President Wilson, and his sound
judgment in keeping the country from
war and trouble, and said that to the
President is due the fact that the United
States is to day at peace with other
countries, while all Europe is in the
grip of bitter war. He pointed out in
detail the great amount of constructive
legislation carried out both in Frank
fort and in Washington as promised in
the Democratic platforms, and defended
both administrations from the attacks
made by partisan press and speakers.
He impressed upon the aldiance the inn
portance of every voter going 10 the
pools on election day and endorse the
work of our president, senators and
congressman. Beckham, Camden and
Harvey Helm are entitled 10 the support
of every Democrat in JeSsamine county.
and from present indications they will
not be disappointed. Judge Shackel-
fords remarks were we'll received.
Judge w. B. Smith, the old Demo-
cratic war-horse of Madison, followed
Judge Shackelford. and made rousing
good speech. The Judge is 81 years of
age and is almost as good campaigner
as he was twenty years ago. Few Dem
ocrats in Kentucky have done more or
beJter work for the party than Judge
Smith. In 1896 Judge Smith was the
only Democratic elector from Kentucky.
He has great many warm friends in
Jessa mine who are always glad to see
and hear him.-JesSamine Journal.

One Thousand Men.

The Christian church at Winchester
was a scene of an unusual event on last
Sunday, when 200 men, representing
all avocations and professions in life.
met in one vast Sunday-School class. In
vitations had been issued to the sur
rounding Sunday-schools and were &C
copied very generously. Richmond sent
class of $50, which was headed by our
veteran and the oldest Sunday school
scholar in the State, Hon. w. b. Smith.
Classes from NicholaSville, Lexington.
Mt. Sterling and other surrounding
schools also attended.
Supt. Prewitt, of the Winchester Sun
day-school, presided. Many speeches
were made, which were limited TO not
less than two nor exceeding five min
utes, and our orator. Hon. w. B. Smith,
was one of them. The speech of Mr.
Bush, of Winchester, which was spon-
taneous effort on his part, touched a
sympathetic chord in the hearts of the
great audience. He said that while a
man was entitled TO one days rest in
the week, he should take that rest on
his own time and not on the Lords day,
and that he should devote himself as
siduorsly TO the work of the Lord on
Sunday.
The ladies of the church had prepar-
ed great feast and after Sunday school
was concluded, the guests of the day
were invited to the dining-room, where
they were seated and graciously served
with a most elegant dinner.

BECKHAM CHARMS
A Large And Apprec iative
Audience.

SATURDAY. afternoon Gov. Beckham adj
dressed a large and cultivated audience
at the Court House on the political is
sues of the day. He was introduced To
the people by Judge Shackelford with a
few well chosen and pleasing remarks.
The speaker commenced his remarks in
a very calm way and the whole address,
lasting for more than an hour and half,
was dignified and argumentative He
reviewed the political history Of the
Democratic party for the last 20 years
and showed that the policies of Bryan.
which at one time were called fanatical
by the Republican party. had been incor-
porated in the organic laws o. the coun-
try by both Republicans and Democrats
alike. He spoke of the great peace that
this country is enjoying and that that
peace had been brought about by the
wisdom of the President. He launche d
into the financial question and showed
had placed that on the books.
He predicted sweeping victory fol-
the Democrats all over the country. He
asked all Democrats to come out and
give their support to the President by
electing a majority in the Congress who
were in sympathy with his policies.
His address was listened to by the
people attentively aud at times they
cheered him TO the echo. The speech
made a good impression, and old Demo
Gratis who are we'll posted on the politics
of the county, predict a sweeping victo-
ry for the ticket next month.

their money away, for the reason that
they can buy everything on the local
market just as cheap as they can from
the mail order houses.
This illustrates the value of advertiS
ing. Sears Roebuck & Co were the
most extensive advertisers in the world.
They kept their goods and their names
constantly before the public. II the
home merchants employed the same
tactics and used more printers ink and
kept their names constantly before the
households of this county, better results
would be obtained; practically no money
would be sent from the county and their
trade would be greatly built up.
We were told few weeks ago by
gentleman who is in a position to know,
but whose name we withhold, that IL
would astonish the people TO know OF
the great amount of money that is be-
ing sent away from this county to the
mail order houses.
You have only to use your eyes to see
what is going on, because the rural car
riers and the city carriers give every
evidence that the people are actively
dealing with the city mail order houses
1t is not our purpose to undertake TO
interfere with what the people believe
is to their best interest, but we cannot
refrain from remarking that these mail
order houses contribute nothing TO the
commercial interests of this county and
pay not a cent of tax towards defraying
its expenses, yet they are reaping har-
vest from the people amounting TO ma
ny thousands of dollars annually.
The first moral of it is that the people
should trade at home, and the second is
that the merchants should advertise and
tell the people what they have TO sell
Thus will better understanding exist
between the business men and the peo-
pie.
We are being literally patronized by
the merchants of this city, and we have
no complaint to offer, and are duly
thankful for their patronage. Their ad-
vertisements have a value TO the people
and we invite them TO read and profit ~

SOMETHING WRONG.

Some weeks ago the papers were hlled
with sensational story OF the indlct-
ment of DIR. Crecelius, the Secretary oil
State. On the charges preferred by the
indictment, DIR. Crecelius was put on
trial before jury of his peers. After
hearing the evidence and receiving the
instructions of the court, the Common
weaIth's Attorney for that district, Vic
tor Bradley, of Georgetown, moved the
court 10 dismiss the case for the reason
that he did not deem the evidence SUI
ficent 10 convict. The two remaining
indictments against DR.. Crecelius, on
motion of the Commonwealth Attor-
ney, were flied away on statement
from him that he did not believe that
the evidence was sufficient to convict.
This is a pretty mix-up. First, the
grand jury OF the county, which must
necessarily work under the guidance OF
the Commonwealth Attorney, filed a
report generating Mr.. Byars for alleged
irregularities at the desk called the au-
tomobile desk in the Secretary Of State 5
office, and incidentally cast little bou-
quet 10 that gentleman. At the same
time 1t INDUCED in a sensational fusil-
ade at the Secretary of State, charging
irregularities against him, returning in
dicJments and recommending that the
Attorney General proceed 10 take action
declaring the Office vacant. PreSum-
lively the Commonwealth Attorney was
F..TE Of oil 1
was the duty of this gentleman TO pre-
pare the indictments against DIR. Greece
Illus. Now this distinguished lawyer
comes forward and moves the court TO
dismiss the indictments against DIR.
Crecelius for the reason that there is
not EuiiicIent testimony to convict him.
Before taking such grave steps against
4 State officer, and before allowing such
ugly charges 10 De returned by the grand
Jury against hin, the Com monwealJi.' )
Attorney should nave known what the
evidence was and should have carefully
considered and determined its weight.
He should have known in advance
whether or not il was sufficient TO sUs
tain an indictment.
There mas been some criminal negli-
geuce somewhere. The fact remains,
which IS not disputed, that there are ir-
regularities and shortages in the Auto
mobile Department. Yet the grand
jury. under the guidance and direction
of this Commemorative Attorney, is un-
able 10 locate or to point out the guilty
parties. And in their failure TO do so
they confess their bungling incompe-
tence.
This court made a grand-stand play
out of the indictment and yet the court
by its nOn-action confesses lis inability
10 ferret out the wrongful conduct.
The eyes of the people are on Frank
fort, and unless the officers of the law
do something and bring the guilty par
ties TO the bar of justice, they will stand
in a ridiculous attitude before the pub
lie. II the soft pedal has been applied,
the question naturally arises-who is
playing the instrument? Who is being
shielded? And what is the matter with
abe court that possesses unlimited pow
er 70 discover and punish crime that il
cannot do so in this instance?
