Sure Lancaster Wants To Get In.

There is movement on foot in Dan
vile to organize league of ball teams
among the towns in this part of the
state, and Lancaster is mentioned as
one of the towns likely to want a place.
We are sure that we voice the senti-
ment of innumerable fans in this com
munity when we say 1--WE sure do
want to enter, and we hope that some
of our boys who have not passed the
playing age, will take the matter up
ane make arrangements for good
team IN Lancaster during the coming
season. If there is anything in the
world that will make Lancaster people
loosen up their purse strings it is a
winning ''home team, they will go the
limit, both as to physical and financial
support. Why last year in lieu of any
thing else in the way of a ball game,
the Lancaster fans gave their unquali-
fled support and patronage to the local
colored team, and by the way, it was a
good one

Folk Lore.

We have been accused of being su-
peIstltious because we professed a
belief in the predictions of the ground
hog, and circumstances have fully JUS
titled our belief, and the sagacious
animal has been proven of better char
acter "for truth and veracity" than
some people we know. Stimulated by
this justification in our faith we are
constrained to call the attention of our
readers to the fact that tomorrow,
Friday, again falls upon the 18th day
of the month. Now traditions handed
down to US warns US to be exceedingly
caution upon this particular day, to be
exceedingly careful of our undertakings.
Of course we do not expect every one
to believe as strongly in such matters
as we do, or to go to the limit of car
rying the left hind leg of a grave yard
rabbit in their pocket, but We do ad-
wise them to exercise a reasonable
amount of caution. February 18th fell
upon Friday, and everyone knows what
miserable weather conditions accompa-
MED it, and that many people suffered
accidents from falls on the slippery
streets and sidewalks, and now coming
in the next month following, we advise
extra caution. The same thing occurs
in November, three times during the
year, very unusual, and we shall offer
sigh of relief when we have safely
passed all of the Friday, the 13ths'
in the year.

Are We To Have A Fair This Year.

Our readers can best answer the
above question. 1t would be the easiest
matter possible to organize Fair As
sociation in Garrard county. All that
is needed is someone to take the initia-
tive. Those who have done this here
tofore find their time so taken up by
other matters that they have no time
to devote to this especial business. In
the meantime, the time is waning,
other towns around US are claiming
dates and making preparations to give
an exhibition, why not Lancaster? In
days not long past we bore the reputa-
tion for giving one of the best exhibit
tions in the state. That reputation is
not gone beyond recall. it would be an
easy matter to reestablish it. Let
some good man take the matterup, and
he will find it an easy matter to enlist
the assistance of ample means and men
to push the enterprise to a successful
finish. Who will try it?

Soon To Be A Serious Proposition.

Farmers are already in many instances
compelled to haul materiel long dis
tance to burn tobacco beds, nor is che
hauling the most serious part of the
job, securing the material is where the
rub comes in. So scarce is wood be-
coming in this country, that in order to
secure material for this work, farmers
in many instances are compelled to
clear thickets, oft times for their
neighbors. Every year this problem
grows more and more serious, the
material harder to obtain, the distance
to go for it grows longer, and unless in
the near future the science of this pro-
gressive age furnishes some solution
for the problem, the burning of tobacco
beds will have become thing of the
past. And this is more serious than
the mere statement would imply; there
are many farmers who would discon-
tinue the growing of tobacco altogether
unless their seed beds were properly
burned; nor do we know but they
would be justified in such step. We
have never heard of seed bed being
sown without having been previously
burned, but without expert advice on
the subject, are inclined to the theory
that it would be a failure, and the
plants would be literally taken by the
weeks. 8Fs .sSsss.t

Governor Signs Insurance Measure.

Almost Immediately after it was SUBJ
mitted to him, last Saturday afternoon,
Gov. McCreary signed the famous
Glenn Green Insurance bill. This ac-
tion was taken within an hour after it
had been signed by the officers of the
two houses. Immediately following
this action four of the leading insurance
companies notified the Insurance Com
missioner that they would suspend bus
mess in this state, they did not signify
their intention of Withdrawing from
the state, or make any kind of threats,
but simply signified their intention of
suspending. Whether or not other
companies will do likewise, and Just
what effect the passing of the measure
will have upon the insuring public, re-
mains to be seen.
One of the most important facts for
the general public to understand in
connection with this bill, it that it can
in no way affect insurance policies.
The provisions of the bill. to every
owner of insurable property.
The bill in brief, extends the powers
of the State Rating Board to supervise
the APPLICATION of the schedules of fire
insurance rates fixed by the board, and
which schedules are now being applied
by the companies according to rates
made by their own acturial bureau. to
| which all the companies subscribe.
The bill levies a tax of one per cent
on all premiums for the support of the
board and to defray the expense of the
broadened powers of supervision. This
tax will bring into the board approx.
mately $4,000. The board may EN-.
ploy as many experts and clerks as i,
sees fit. within the amount raised b,
' the tax. ~ 7ss -,

Children Under II Years Not To Be Ad-
mitted To Reform School.

The State Prison Commission has
made a ruling that children II years of
age and under sent to that institution
will be returned to the county from
which they were received. The
children ranging in ages from 9 to II
years of age. some twenty five in num-
ber, now in the institution, will be re-
turned as rapidly as possible to the
