LANCASTER-GOSHEN
HIGHWAY

Representing the Lancaster Com
mercial Club DR.. J. b. Kinnaird, J. NJ.
Farra. Pool Perkins and J. Z. Stormes,
a self appointed body visited the Goshen
countryside last Monday afternoon and
started new highway to be called
The Lancaster-G Goshen Highway.
This new proposed Higeway will be-
gin near the entrance to the farm OF
MIR. w. G. Gooch and run east to the
Crab Orchard pike about one and one
half miles coming out at or near the
Gilberts Creek bridge, thus opening up
territory of much commercial value
to the business interests of Lancaster.
Standing on high hull over which
this proposed Highway will run, Lam
caster stands alluringly near, just
three miles away across country, but
to get to it comfortably over passable
road one must need travel thirteen
miles and consume one and one half
hours of time.
ny NiiS ucW way Tue EtsiutnNs VI the
Goshen country may come to Lancaster
in twenty-five minutes and do their
trading and engage in socialintercourse
on Saturday afternoon or a county
court day.
Some of the best farms surrounding
Lancaster lie in this section and GER
tainly some of the best and most sub
stantial farmers live on them. IL is
their desire to do their trading and sell
their crops in Lancaster.
A meeting is called to assemble on
the lawn of Mrs. Josh Daniel two
miles out on the Crab Orchard pike
Friday June 18th at p. m. to perfect
final plans in starting the construction
of this new way.
1t is hoped that those composing the
active business life of Lancaster may
not be too busy" to lay aside the tools
Of shop and trade and give an hour or
two to this highly important ''good
roads meet"

ESTEEMED CONFEDERATE

Captain Isaac Myers. residing about
two miles out on the Buckeye turnpike,
suffered a cerebral hage a few
days since, and at first appearance il

one Of wealthiest and most prominent
citizens of the Bryantsville section Of
lower Garrard in an earlier time. The
Methodist stronghold in the Bryants-

frequent conferences and other Metho-

Myers family entertained these del

manner. Among these visitors was
the late John ID. Hearne. the well-known
Cincinnati banker, who fell very much
in love with Capt. Myers sister. Miss
Emma Myers. the most beautiful Young
woman of this entire, section, and a
marriage was the result. Before Mr..
Hearne's death he purchased desirable

The United States to-day is facing
one of the greatest crises in its history
and the country is thankful that Wood
row Wilson is at the White House.
Two delicate situations has arisen,
either Of which might result in war.
The country is not at all satisfied
with Germany's reply to the note on
the Lusitania disaster.
President Wilson Wednesday en-
phasized in an informal talk with Count
Won Bernstorff, the German Ambas-
sador. the intense feeling of the Ameri-
can people over the sinking of the
Lusitsnia and other violations of the
American rights on the high seas. and
impressed upon him that the United
States must insist on an adherence by
Germany to the accepted principles of
international law as they effect neutrals.
All factions in Mexico were publicly
called upon by President Wilson in the
name Of the United States Government
Ito accommodate their differences"
and set up government that can be
accorded recognition.
Failure to unite in movement to
bring peace to Mexico within very
short time" it was announced in
statement telegraphed to Generals
Carranza, Villa. Zapata and Others,
would constrain the United States ito
decide what means should be employed"
in order to save the people of the
southern republic from further devasta-
tons of internal warfare.
Everywhere in official and diplomatic
quarters and among Mexicans of varied
learnings, the statement was interpret
ed as meaning that the United States
would bring pressure to bear first to
unite the factions In the choice Of pro-
visional president and, failing to bring
all elements together, would give its
active support to those elements which
did agree.

EDITOR WALTON
AWAITS some ANSWERS.

Editor Walton of the Lexingtonian
says Democracy is awaiting some
answer. Here is his editorial:
Several weeks have passed since
DR.. Board made the charge that he en-
gineered in the interest OF Gov. Beck
ham for United States Senator. a deal
either at his instigation or connivance,
by which the liquor men Of louisville
supported him tor the office, many of
them. including Jim Whallen, contri-
buting largely to his campaign fund.
The result was that the Falls City gave
Beckham substantial majority, which
SO delighted him that he made a per-
sonal call on Mr.. Whallen at his Buck
inghsm Tbeater and overwhelmed him
with thanks. The alleged deal was to
the effect that the Senator and his fol.
lowers would make no further war on
the liquor interests. To this good hour
Senator Beckham has made no denial
of the charges and people are taking
them as confessed.
Ii has also been charged that another
deal was made with the saloon men in
Frankfort that for their support no
agitation for local option election
would be advocated by the Beckham
interests. The fact that none was held
then although elections were held in
Lexington. Greensboro and other cities,
seems to prove that there are grounds
for the charge.
In his speech at Frankfort, right
under the noses of the Beckham folk,
0wsley Stanley charged that vote on
Statewide prohibition was beaten in
the last Legislature only by one vote,
the result of which could easily have
been changed had Senator Beckham
and his henchmen turned their hands to
to the effort, which they did not. Mr..
Stanley dare not make charges that he
can not prove, and the fact that no at
tempt has been made to disprove this
charge seems to indicate that the truth
of 1t is granted.
| So much for charges concerning Sem
ator Beckham. Denials of few against
II. V. McChesney are likewise in order
If he can truthfully do so. He is char
ged with saying that he had rather see
q dry" Republican in the United
States Senate than ''wet" Democrat,
that every Democratic paper which
does not advocate Statewide prohibition
should be boycotted and that he declar.
W opttNh ~ l1hl
was not there to speak for Democracy,
but higher and holier cause" IL he
has said any Of these things he is not
deserving Of Democratic nomination.
IL he did not, he owes it to the party tC
disayow them. Prohibition is not q
cardinal principal of Democracy, and
IL is not a sin against Democracy tc
oppose further agitation of the liquor
lquestion. We can readily believe that
Mr.. McChesney made the remark about
newspapers when We recall his efforts
against the passage Of a more liberia
law in regard TO libel, which all the
newspapers advocated, and which was
finally passed.
Both Senator Beckham and Candidate
McChesney owe il 10 the people to deny
these serious charges il they can. Other
wise they will be taken for confessed
and they will be proceeded against be-
fore the great bar Of public opinion for
contempt Of the great Democratic par
~ and ITS principles.

The Editor Of the Record believes in
the principles Of municipal ownership OF
its public utilities whenever it can be
done. The Committee Of excellent
business men appointed by Mayor Dav-
idson to investigate the desirability of
changing the lighting franchise at this
time after carefully considering the
question, with the assistance Of the
Mayor makes a report that should be
interesting TO the citizens and tax pay
ers Of the city. Assuming that the
facts upon which the Committee makes
the report are correct it is very evident
that the city could save It's citizens a
good sum Of money each year by own
ing and operating its own plant.
While the report does not domonstrate
the way that the city may finance the
construction of a lighting plant we
feel certain that by the next meeting
Of the council this Committee will have

NICH0LASVILLE.

Population $500; municipal, single
phase, a. C. plant selling current at "a
cents per killowstt-hour for lighting
and cents for power. Original cost
of plant IL years ago was $l2, 600 90
provided by bonds. all of which have
been paid. An additional of about
81, 900. 90 has been put into the plant
out Of current funds. This plant has
had 2 per cent tax levy amounting to
about $4,000 per year, and about
$1,000 TO $1,000 from the general fund;
in return for which the !. y has been
lighted with IS arc lights. The serious
mistake made at this place was in using
single phase instead Of three phase.
Satisfied with municipal ownership.
1t is the opinion Of your committee
that il would be unwise for the city of
Lancaster to sell any kind Of lighting
franchise that does not provide for
municipal ownership. From the infor-
nation at hand, 1t appears that NUM-
cipal plants can and do operate at much
less expense to the city and consumer
than do those privately owned. Further
we believe that the City of Lancaster
can operate its water WORKS system at
much less expense in connection with
an electric light plant.
The committee respectfully asks for
further time in which to collect data
covering the legal. financial and
mechanical phases of the proposition,
as well as to study the economical and
and other desirable and undesirable
features, II any there be.
Respectfully submitted this 7th day
Of June, 1915.

ELECTRIC LIGHT
Committees REPORT
Favors City Ownership Of The Lighting
Plant.

At the regular meeting of the City
Council Monday night after the usual
business was disposed Of. the Council
considered several new matters. By
vote the Council declined to enact an
ordinance closing the new establish
ment of J. Haselden located on Lexing-
ton street on Sunday. The council con-
cluded that it had no authority to enact
such an ordinance under the law. The
Council also declined to grant William
Rainey permit to erect a veranda
over the pavement on Stanford street
in front of the property recently pur-
chased from Judge Prather.
The committee appointed by the May
or to investigate and advise the Coun-
Gil relative to the cancellation of the
lighting franchise now owned by Mr..
Alex Walker and granting twenty
year franchise in lieu of the same, af-
ter careful investigation reported in
writing against the proposition and in
stead Of csncelling the contract advised
the Council to take steps favoring the
ownership and operation of the plant
by the City.
The following is copy of the writ.
