The following is taken from
the Winchester Sun of April 4th.
"A wife and five little children
were all that saved Curt Kincaid,
of Stanton, from serving term
of so days in the county Jail. He
was convicted Friday in Police
Court on charge of petit larce-
ny, but his sentence was sus-
pended on condition that he re-
turn home and care for his fami-
ly, which is dependent on him.
Kincaid, who is less than 80 years
old, was charged with stealing a
watch belonging to Mr.. M. K.
O'Mara from the Jones restau-
rant, corner Main and Washing
ton streets. After the watch dis
appeared Kincaid was suspected
and the police notified. Chief
McCord went to the depot and
watched for the man. He was
caught with the goods on him.
Kincaid had thrown away an
other watch, thinking that he
had made good his theft of Mr..
O'Mara's timepiece."
The Sunday School Convention
just held at Irvine was splen-
did one from a point of program
and attendance. There were not
so very many delegates from the
counties in the District, there not
being a single delegate from Lee
county, but the people of Irvine
turned out well. As is to he et-
pected A. 7. Stewart Of our town
made an impression on the peO-
pie of Irvine in his speech. The
people of Irvine think that they
have splendid teacher in Miss
Bette Boone. and many Ords of
commentator were heard on all
sides. She is held in very high
esteem nv the students and citi-
zens. Miss Mary LYLE likes r.
vine so well that it ia doubtful If
she will return to our little burg.
Irvine is certainly on a big boom
and building up fast. The con-
vention for next year will be held
in Stanton sometime In Nav. The
writer was reelected for the
third time as President of the
District, with Miss Rose Coldiron
of Hazel Green as Secretary, al
so in her third year.
The writer cannot possibly un-
derstand why the editor of this
paper supports Stanley in his
race for the United States SEN
ate. He has been one of the
staunchest supporters of the H.
quor traffic ever since he has heen
Senator. The whiskey men to-
day are backing him sOlidly in
his present race. The fight be
tween him and Beckham is not
one of politics for they both be-
long to the same party but it is
a fl ght over the issue between Ii
quOr and Prohibition. Stanley
voted against the Webb bill and
wrote articles for the whiskey pa
pers stating why he was opposed
to the Webb bill. He is opposed
to the National Prohibition bin
that the temperance forces are
trying to introduce for the a..
mending of the Constitution, and
has clearly demonstrated all a
long that he is against Prohibi-
ton. He is owned and controlled
by the whiskey people, and is do
ing his best to defeat any legisla-
ton against whiskey. Mr.. Stan
ley may have done one or two
good things as Senator against
the Steel Trust, but the Steel
Trust is of little consequence
when compared to the liquor traf-
fic of our country. The people
are rising up in their might aud
power and are going TO wipe out
the liquor traffic, and we need
the support of every Senator we
can get. The writer is for Beck
ham, bat should the editor not
care to vote for him then there
is Governor McCreary who is far
more preferable than Mr.. Stan
ley. The liquor traffic is the great
ert issue before the people today
and it must he settled right, and
there is only one way that As
right and TINT is destroy il.
