SCHOOL NOTES.
sY y. c. WILSON.

Mrs, Allen is still on the sick
list and Mrs. Williams is filling
her place in the primary depart
ment very acceptably. In fact
the work in all the departments
is progressing very satisfactorily.
Review work is in progress now
all along the line, preparatory to
final examinations which will
take place in about a month.
The next months work is the
most important one of the whole
year, and for that reason re-
quest that the parents see to it
that their children. do as much
home study as possible, especially
those in the higher grades, and
that they do not allow them to be
absent from school a single day
unless it is absolutely necessary.
In fact they cannot afford to miss
a single recitation from now on
: till the close of school.
: We have about perfected our
plans for commencement work,
and we are expecting it to excel
both in pleasure and profit any
that we have ever had, and / am
sure that we can bring it to pass
it we will all put forth our very
best efforts to the accomplishment
, of that end. We will publish the
commencement work calendar

Facts About the Race
For Commemorative Attorney
Grassy Greek, Ky. 4-l9-'i5.

Grassy Greek, KY 4-l9-'l5. .
Your scribe, being a democrat
and interested in the outcome OF
the race for Commemorative
Attorney, was over at Louisa
last week attending CircuitCourt
and concluded to see what the
condition was in Lawrence, so |
began to make inquiries from as
many men as | could from all
over the county, and, being a
stranger, had no trouble to get |
ready answers, and / give the
conclusions l formed from all |
heard. The race in Lawrence
county is strictly between Castle
and Waugh, with Castle far in
the lead, and give you the rea-
son the assign: That Waugh
started in the race for Circuit
Judge and run about four months
and then by some secret agree
ment quit and announced for
Commonwealth Attorney after
he had pledged that he would
not make the race again for that
Office, and after he had stated
that two terms were all that any
man should hold the same office.
The people are almost a unit
against third terms, " especially
such long and lucrative ones as
this office is, and they say that
he is not entitled to consideration
when he could so fippantly
change from one position to an
other, without regard to the
Whgs he had said and done in
the very recent past.
The question naturally came
up as to the effect of Sullivan's
candidacy upon the race, and
found that each man talked t
had substantially the same opin
ion as to how many votes Sulli
van would get in Lawrence, an(
it ranged from fifty to one hun
dred, and striking an average

So taking these things all to

standpoint, it looks like Castle i,

Many children az an early age

serious consequences result. Not

dition, chili's bowels should be
constantly watched, and gentle

Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets are

Some time ago We began using DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets and find that
we like them very much. Their action
Is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them We have had good results In
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased"
The form and favor of any medi-
cine is very important, no matter
who is TO take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
the average child medicine" even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using Dr. Miles Lag
alive Tablets, however, this diff.
Guilty is overcome. The shape OF
the tablets, their appearance. and
candy-lke taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate favor and
absence OF other taste, make DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.

taken if he has conceived the idea
that Fairplay is opposed to good
roads or any thing else that is to
the betterment of our country. |
We all want good roads but the
system by which they are to be
built is a mooted question. Fair
play stated in his previous article
that he was in favor of any sys-
tenn that would produce good
roads without bankrupting the
county. Don't that cover all the
ground, Mr.. Gumption? Good
roads are the life of a country,
and they are indispsable, but
think about building a turnpike
running from the county seat to
the county line in every direction,
where the adjoining counties con-
meet. Has Gumption figured the
cost?
Christ said when he was on
earth: Which of you intending
to build a tower stitch not down
first and counteth the cost,
whether he have sufficient to fin
ish it," We should be governed
by the same rule, and not 60 in.

We expended over $4,000 on
our court house and got a part

everybody ought to be ashamed,

a new court house will be indis-
pensable in the near future. |

would be wasted in like manner.
Fairplay may have been a little
off in the number of miles of road
that 5000, 900 would build, as he
just guessed it off, but ask Mr..
Gumption to show in figures what
the proposed turnpike roads point
ing every direction would cost the
county in actual cash. Yes

enough to see that the late sys-

chronic kickeris concerned every
body ought to become a chronic
opposer of wrong doing when
wrong doing becomes chronic.

we should be cautious in our con-
domination. And that we are all
too prone to lose faith in our fel-
lowmen. We have lost a great

that few men will do to trust.
There are good men in Morgan

Fairplay condolences everybody

next Friday of one of the most inspir-

ever held in this county. Thousands
OF school children are expected to par
tcipate in the parade of the first coun~
ty commencement ever held in this

The educational leaders have work
ed hard to make this event great
success since the Democrat advocated
such an occasion several months ago
AS a result of their efforts valuable
prizes have been offered for different
phases Of the commencement work
and educational activity has already
been stimulated.
The workers for a broader educa-
ticn and higher efficiency in the. edu-
cational work of Henderson county are
to be congratulated upon their en-

great educational event, and it is hoped
that school committeeman, school pa

cooperate in making the day all that

STRAINED RELATIONS CROPPING
UP BETWEEN CHINA AND JAPAN,

Toxic, May 6.-The Official Gazette
today publishes an imperial ordinance

law on the KWang-Tung peninsula
and the south Manchusia railroad
Deliberations over the situation be-
tween Japan}an China continue.
A big fleet of warships is taking on
supplies at Sasebo; Japanese in the
province of Shantung are concentrat-
ing at Tsing-Tao and those in Man
churia are preparing to take refuge
III the railway zone.
The Kokumin TODAY says it learns
from an authoritative source that the
United States is endeavoring to medl-
ate between Japan and CHINA and that
this is one reason why the cabinet de,
liberations have been protracted.
To Remove Japanese.
Picking, May ga Jap anese cruiser

east of Picking, evidently for the pur-
pose of removing from China the

Unofficial data collected by the navy
department indicates the loss of forty
three British warships since the begin
ming of hostilities last fall, while the
German losses in this respect is re
ported to be fifty-seven. This does
not include converted merchant ves-
sells. nor an estimate of the number
of men lost on either side. The Ger
nan cruisers are credited with more
daring adventures on the high seas,
while her air craft has been a con-
slant menace to the powers. She is
seeking to subdue. There has been
no decisive engagement between the
navies of these warning nations and
the world awaits such contingency
with bated breath. Germany's pre-
paredness for war upon land and see
is seen in her ability to combat the OPP
position at every point. It is GreeI
against Greek.
