STA had united and was heavily sub
sidizing Bulgaria and Servia against
Turkey. and had intoxicated both
with wild dreams Of enlarged bound
aries and empire At the expense OF
the Turk, and. ultimately, with Rus
sia's backing. at the expense OF Aus
tria herself. Numerous non-commis-
stoned officers were coming quietly
into Belgrade and Soma, and were
ready to take the field with the
armies Of the allies, which could count
on support from Montenegro. through
its hereditary hatred Of the Austrian,
and on Greece through its hatred Of
the Turk and desire to settle old
scores with that nation. Most Of the
leading Officers and men Of anairs OF
servia and Bulgaria were in Russian
pay. In fact, Systematic Russtaniza-
tion of Servia and Bulgaria was in
progress. Their armies were being
equipped with new kind OF French
gun; the troops were being paid with
Russian and French gold. And they
were all ready to move forward on

1t is with much regret that we
hear it minated that Judge
l.. F. Mann and his excellent
cOnsort are contemplating resign
ing the pastorate of the NJ. E.
Church, South. Their removal
would be felt as a double loss
to the Times; their nearness to
us; the example of thrift and
neatness of garden, yard and

the helpfulness and uplift they

ity is of inestimable worth.
Judge Mann, who has lofty ideals
counts as assets things other than
meager salary; and we should
emulate his example, and dis
courage their removal, If it is en-

1t is somewhat diverting to one
who is a neutral" to the ques-
ton now up for solution by the
voters of our lively neighbor,

progress. The wall of lamenta.
ton; the depression-high taxes,
vacant houses; loss of trade to
follow in the "dry" wake, etc.
Winchester "wet" now boasts
of an increase of $70,O00.00 in
assessed value of taxable proper
ty over that of one year before,
while her neighbor, Mt. Ster.
ling "wet" also, points with
pride to an increase of 800, 200.
These same arguments were
used against the Richmond
"drys" in that heated campaign I;
that a "drv" town meant that
the money would pour into "wet"
Nicholasville, "wet" Winches-
ter, "wet" Lexington where mer-
chants would undersell Richmond
merchants TO ALLEVIATE trade and
divert home customers, etc.
But what of the sequel? Rich
mond does not enjoy the trans
portation advantages of Win
chester and is otherwise less for
tunate, and yet strange as it may
appear, Richmond with her loss
of large number of high. licens-
ed saloons gains in taxable prop
erty over 5000. 900, 00--more than,
both of her "wet" neighbors; and
her idleness has been reduced to
IA minimum her misdemeanors
etiaced and her felonies disap-
pearing from her criminal
dockets.

A Benton Stronghold.

The latest has it that Judge
Shackleferd, # Richmond, will
enter the tace'for Circuit Judge
against Judge Benton, and will
soon make ) canvass of the dis
trict. When Judge Shackleford
comes to Powell county he viii
find it "a Benton stronghold.
There was a sentiment here in
favor of Grant Lilly for Judge
when he spoke of making the
race, and bad he run he would
have carried the county,
we believe because Mr.. Lilly and
his family are so we'll known here
where they have always been so
popular. His father was former
ly Circuit Judge here when Pow
ell was in another district.
The Times confidently believes
there is not another man in the
district and outside OF Powell
that can carry the county against
Judge Benton.
