COUNTLESS CANDIDATES
Come To County Court and Call On
Constituency

One Of the largest crowds seen in
Lancas ter for many months attended
our County Court last Monday. While
the February court usually brings to-
gether a good attendance. yet with the
ban on the cattle trade, a much larger
crowd attended than was expected.
The quarantine on the cattle pens was
enforced to the letter, yet about one
hundred changed hands just outside
the city limits. The public square was
crowded with mules, but buyers were
scarce and only few changed hands.
Candidates for Circuit Judge and Com
monwealth Attorney, were here in
force and all were kept busy the entire
day shaking hands with the voters that
seemed to be here from every point in
the district.
While Judge Hardin was few hours
late, owing TO an accident to his car
while enroute, vet he claims to have
made up for the lost time by the en-
enlargement he received from his
friends. Hon. c. c. Fox was ON the
ground early and made vigorous cam
paign during the entire day.
Hon. Emmett Puryear. Rodman w.
Keenon and Judge John Sam Owsley,
all candidates for Commonwealth At
torney, never let any grass grow under
their feet and were on the ground I'M
til the last man left for his home.
Each told a representative of the
Record that he was perfectly satisfied
with the days work and predicted a
good following in this county.
The following sales were reported
during the day. }. M. Roberts sold Is
head of cattle to Bottom ana White
house. of BOYLE, for $500. w. b. Bur-
ton sold nice pair of black mare null
es to Center Bros, Of Paint Lick, for

In speaking Of the candidacy of Hon.
A. o. Stanley. for the democratic
nomination for Governor. the Dover
News has this to say:
"The man out of the numerous can
didates already announced who beats
him out will know he has been running
some before he reaches the goal. In
Congress Stanley has been powerful
champion of the people against trusts.
and the trusts will defeat him at the
primary II they can. They will not do
it in an open fight. but by supporting
some Of his opponents that they will be
able to control. The tobacco growers
Of Kentucky will not soon forget how
Mr.. Stanley came to their rescue dur
ing their wrestle with the Tobacco
Trust when they won out by organiza-
tion, and that he freely gave his ser
vices when others were being paid for
similar service.
The big combinations hate him, and
that is pretty good reason for the
people Of Kentucky TO stick 10 him.
He will stump the state after Congress

Why is it that the "hewers of wood
and haulers of water" for the politicians
the newspaper men, are so frequently
disappointed when they ask for office?
Asks the Shelby Record. There is not II
more enthusiastic or forceful Demo-
cratic paper in Western Kentucky than
the Mayfeld Messenger. j. r. Lemon,
its editor. is big-hearted. big-bodied,
thoroughly competent man for post
master at Mayfield. and he wanted the
job. But he didn't get it. And another
man. who conducts an influential news
paper in Jessamine county. Jim Stears,
wants to be postmaster at Nicholasville,
and he is qualified to fill the place
satisfactorily. Will he get it? Who
knows? Lemon is President Of the
Kentucky Press Accociation and Stear:
is its Vice President. Newspapers are
expected to pull the chestnuts out OF
the fire for the politicians, that's all.
There is a seeming disposition on the
part of the politicians to pat the news
paper men on the back for publishing
complimentary stuff" free, but il
there is to be distribution of pie they
are expected to be content with little
bit of the crust. We can tell the story
just like it is. for we don't want a
postoffice any other political job.

Following an illness of only a week,
Mr.. Gabriel Greenleaf died of uraemic
poison at the home Of his sister. Mrs.

not considered critical until Thursday
when he lapsed into state of uncon-

Oldest resident of our town who was
born here. Mr.. Greenleaf was never
married, but had always made his home

fixed convictions and possessed the
courage to proclaim them in times Of

Mrs. Jessie Sebastian, of near Nc
Creary, died at her home about 8 clock
Friday evening of consumption. Ollie's
death was a great surprise to many
people. but still, she had been in bad
health for year or more, but We new
er thought of her being called away so
soon. Mrs. Sebastian was "a years of
age and she was member of the
Christian church. having joined it in her
early life and was always a devoted
member. She was well known and
much loved girl turnout the county.

her husband, Mr.. Jesse Sebastian and
little babe four months and half
old. also by three sisters and three
brothers. Mrs. Sim Wheeler. Misses
Mary and Annie Layton. Messrs Stevie.
Johnnie and William Layton. all from
Garrard Co. This community extends
the bereaved family much sympathy.
The remains were followed by large
eoncourse of friends and relatives to
the family burying ground near Spoon
VILE. where she was laid to rest. The
services at the grave were concluded
by songs and prayer.
Precious darling she has left US.
Left us, yes forever more,
But We hope to meet our loved one
On that bright and happy shore.
Lonely the house and sad the hours
Since our darling one has gone.
But oh. brighter home than ours,
In heaven is now her own"

COOPER TALKED
TO many FARMERS
Great European War viii Not Affect
Distribution OF Tanlac.

Lexington. Feb 25th.
Thousands Of farmers from Fayette
and adjoining counties heard l.. T.
Cooper. the great philsnthropist, in
Lexington recently. Cooper gave one
Of his famous lectures on health and
hygiene. in connection with an inter-
estlng demonstration of the merits Of
Tanlac, the remarkable medicine he
is introducing to the American people.
Several score Of these same farmers
took part in the agricultural EXPOSE
ton conducted by Cooper at his own
personal expense in Lexington. Many
of the displays excelIed the exhibits
seen at the county fairs, snd have at
tracted widespread attention through
out Kentucky.
In speaking Of TanIac and the re-
markable cures his great medicine is
fulfilling. Cooper said to the farmers:
''Tanlac, gentlemen, is, not a COM
mon patent medicine. Tanlac is a
proprietary medicine the kind of
medicine recently spoken Of by Hon.
Oscar Underwood, the Democratic
leader Of the House Of Representa-
tives in our national Congress at
Washington, ID c. You all know that
Mr.. Underwood was a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for presi-
dent. and that he is a man of great
ability and integrity. He Is a native
Kentuckian, too.
Realizing what a real hardship it
would bring to the thousands of
American people who daily use Tanlac
and similar proprietary medicines.
should these preparations be included
among the popular commodities upon
which a special war revenue tax was
placed. Congressman Underwood. with
characteristic safeguard Of the peo-
pies rights, placed himself on record
as unslterably opposed to anything
that would increase the price Of pro-
prietary medicines. or which would
tend to deprive the working man of
his best friend.
The result was that Tanlac and
similar proprietary medicines were
stricken completely off the war rev.
enue bill. Thus it is gentlemen. that
the thousands of sufferers in this
country are enabled to obtain Tanloc
now at price within reach Of the
most modest means.
Here, Cooper, holding the attention
Of the great assemblage. explained the
causes and enumerated the symptoms
Of stomach. liver and kidney troubles.
Most Of the so-called stomach. liver
and kidney troubles" said the noted
student. ARE due almost entirely to
Inflammation of those or
gans. The constant coughing up of
mucus. dull. throbbing headaches.
pains in the pit of the stomach. side
and kidney region, lost appetite. nerv-
ourness. lost ambition, depression of
spirits. and susceptibility to coughs
and colds. are common symptoms of
this miserable condition from which
SO many suffer"
Cooper then produced hundreds of
testimonials from Lexington people
rs convincing evidence of the genuine
merits of Tanlac.
Tanlac is now sold in Lancaster by
R. Z. McRoberts.

THE HONOR ROLL

Ex-Gov. David r. Francis Of Missouri
once said the following Of newspapers;
Each year the local paper gives from
$500 to $1,000 in free lines to the COM
munity in which he Is located. No
other agency can or will do this. The
editor, in proportion to his means. does
more for his town than any ten men.
and in fairness he ought to be support
ed mot because you like HIM or admire
his writings. but because the local pa
per is the best investment a community
can make. IL may not be brilliantly
edited or crowded with thought, but
financially II is Of more benefit to the
community, than the preacher or teach
er. Understand me, do not mean
mentally, and vet on moral questions
you will find most Of the papers on the
right side. Today the editor Of the
local papers do the most for the least
money of any people on earth"
Many of the following have said
something like this to us and sent us a
dollar for which we thank them.

CARDINAL MERGER PROTESTS
 HIS TREATMENT BY GERMANS
Says His Own Dignity Has Not Been
 Spared by Soldiers.

London. Jan. 19. 5.45 p. m.-The Amsterdam correspondent of Reuters Telegram company telegraphs that Cardinal Mercier has made a formal protest against his treatment at the hands of the German authorities in Belgium. The cardinal has published his protest in the form of a letter dated Jan. 10, and has sent copies to all priests in his diocese. The letter fol- lows:
 Without doubt. you have seen the communication from the German gov ernment Of Brussels. as published in the daily papers. and in which it is de- clared that Cardinal Mercier, arch bishop of Malines, is in no wise hin dered in the exercise of his episcopal work The facts show how far this report is from the truth.
 ''On the evening of the 1st of Janu- ary, and on the next day, soldiers forced their entry into the vicarage, seizing my pastoral letter and, con- trary to my episcopal order, they pro- hihited reading of the letter before congregations, threatening the severest punishment, which would have been inflicted on vicars or parishes. My own dignity they did not spare"

AS CORPORATIONS ENLARGED
 INDIVIDUALS WEAKENED
Testimony Of Chairman Lewis oi
 House Lebor Committee.

New York. Jan. Representative David J Lewis, chairman of the house committee cn labor, testifying today before the investigation being conducted by the federal commission on industrial relations into the great philanthropic foundations and causes of industrial unrest, declared that he believed the conditions of the individ ual worker had been greatly weakened since the formation of the large Amer ican corporations. Ida NJ Tarbell, author and investigator, and Basil Nj. MGnley, secretary of the commission, were the other witnesses called today
 Miss Tarbell said she believed that large corporations were constantly in teresting themselves more in the wei fare of their employees and she cited as an example the United States Steel corporation. Miss TaI'oell advocated the installation of scientific manage nent iu shops and the establishment of an eight hour day as remedies for labor troubles and a, social unrest and . means Of betteripg the living condi- tions of workers. As for the steel cor poration. she said that she believed about twenty five per cent. of the en- ployes were now working twelve hours a day.
 MT. Mauley quoted figures designed to show that fifty per cent. of the cor porations' employees were working F hours a day.

FOUR MASTER AGROUND
 SIGHTED OFF oUoGUE, N. Y.
No Sign of Life Aboard-Life Savers
 Unable to Reach Her.

Quogue, N. r, Jan. 19.-Fog off shore lifting at times today disclosed the plight of four masted schooner aground on bar q half mile out. Her sails were furled. she was low in the water apparently because of q heavy cargo and combers swept over her There was no sign of life aboard and it was believed the crew was below working the pumps.
 Life savers made fruitIess eorts to throw lines across the schooner and to launch boats, but the vessel Iay too far out to be reached and heavy seas made it impossible for small boats to be sent out The schooner before daylight had flashed distress signals but later in the day signals sent from shore in the international code remained unanswered. Earlier signals from her asked that a revenue cutter be dispatched from New Lon don, Conn. She did not tell those ashore her name or her destination.
 Tonight anchors and cables pre- vented her from drifting but q south west wind and continued surf appar- ently threatened to pile her up on the beach unless aid reached her soon.

 Great Excitement in Town.
 Great excitement prevailed in the town, and special constables, the po- lice and the military were called out to calm the people, who streamed out of their homes when the explosions took place.
 Town in Darkness.
 The electric supply was immediately cut off and the town was plunged in darkness
 The whirring of the propeIlers of the aircraft first attracted attention to it.. Shortly came the explosions and the sound O. breaking glass. The bomb dropped mead the recruiting ground and others near the drill hall. In all five bombs were thrown by the aviator.
 After the attack the aircraft sailed in a southwesterly direction.
 The Casualties,
 One man was found outside his home been crushed. He was identified as Samuel Smith. 9, shoemaker.
 A woman who has not yet been identified also was found dead, while q soldier was discovered In Norfolk square with wound in his chest.
 So far as can be ascertained thus far, these are the only casualties in Yarmouth. but owing 10 the complete darkness that prevails as a result of the cuttinff of the electric light ser vice, this statement cannot be accepted as definite.
 The grea test damage done by any of the bombs resulted from one that fell i'll St. Peters Plain. near St. Peter s church, which damaged a whole TOW of houses, breaking all the windows in them and itteringr the streets with slate from the roofs and bricks.
