BRECNINRIDGE ELECTION
OFFICERS ARE INDICTED

Hardinsburg, KY, Feb. 24.-One
hundred and seventy-fve indict-
ments were returned by the grand
jury. Sixty were for violation of the
local option law and a large number
for gaming. ft
Indictments of the most interest
to the community were those against
Lon Robinson, s. H. Royalty, Flem-
ing Mercer, Max Quiggins and w. j.
Balmain. All of these were indict-
ed for charges Of violating the cleo
tion laws.
Robinson, Royalty, Mercer and
Quiggins were officers of Hudson
Vile precinct, and were accused in
the indictments of failing to use the
election boxes provided by the coun-
ty court clerk. Balmain, who was
the sheriff of Nook precinct in the
county, is charged with failing to
execute his duties as such officer.
A rigid investigation is being
made of the shooting into the court
house by excited persons on the
night of the election when the coun.
ty Court Clerk was guarding the
ballot boxes, but it is doubtful If
there will be any indictments as the
result of the Investigations.
The grand jury in session at the
present time has been one of the
most active empaneled here for some
line. returning indictments in a
most fearless manner

him that she showed lack of wisdom

chapter of Acts, where it is recorded
that Peter and John caused the lame
man to walk, and from the fifth
chapter of James, which declares:
"The prayer of faith shall save The
sick.' The minister and others fol-
lowed with prayers for Mr.. Nc
Cluckle's recovery.
The prayer finished, Mr.. Watson
said: LET us rise and sing Praise

In Union County's Rail-
road Bond Case.
4 COMPROMISE IS EFFECTED
Debt Grew From $4,000 To
S5OO,O0O-Kept County Long
Without Sheriff. 20
LITIGATION LASTED 45 YEARS

The Louisville Post of Wednesday
says:
A lawsuit that has been in the
courts in some form or other since
1870 was settled to-day at the mo-
ment Judge Walter Evans signed an
order of satisfaction, following upon
the payment of 100000 to the heirs
of A. ]. Preston by Caseyville and
Indie Mills precincts of Union coun-
ty, Ky. The money was actually
paid by Fred Alloway and w. w.
Slaton, who are the attorneys for the
Union county precincts, to Attorneys
Helm Bruce, John B. Baskin and T.
Kennedy Helm, who represent Mrs.
Lille II. Preston, the administrators
of the i1eston estate.
The suit arose out of the issue of
bonds in the late sixties to help
bring the Madisonville & Shawnee
town Straight Line railroad through
the precincts in question. The rail-
road took the money, dug a ditch,
and evaporated. The bonds, how
ever, did not evaporate. Some of
them had been sold to A. J. Preston,
and some to other citizens. When
they fell due the precinct declined
to pay. They had received nothing
for the money and felt disinclined to
take up the bonds. Originally the
debt represented by the bonds
amounted to $4,000; but in the
passage of years, what, with the ac-
cumulating interest, and the costs of
the lawsuits, the debt amounts now
to 100000.
Every time the suit was decided a
judgment was entered in favor of
the Preston heirs. Every time
Judgment was entered the Sheriff of
Union county resigned, for he could
not expect to assess a tax great |
enough to pay the debt. and be per-
mitted to live. The latest suit was
against Sheriff Lyman d. B. Abell |
He was all ready to resign-in fact |
had several designations written out,
lying around in various convenient |
places, ready for use as soon as the
lightning might strike. He had
learned wisdom from his many pred
ecessors. For Union county has had
a new Sheriff about as often as it
has had rain in recent years. The
Sheriff that would have to assess a
tax to raise $500, OOO-half the as
'essed value of Union county-felt
lie would become unpopular
Through the efforts of District At
orney Perry B. Miller, who repre-
'ented some of his Union county
friends during the recent unpleasant
lesses, the case has been held up for
several months while a compromise
vas effected. Last May Union coun-
y agreed to raise 100000 within
ear, if the case would be dropped.
ne offer was accepted. The money
las already been secured and Union
ounty is ready to go ahead and

MOTOR SUCCESS

Standardization is the basis of all
great success in the motor car indus
try" said Mr.. Grover, Maxwell dis
tributor, in discussing the remarkable
price reduction announced this month
by the Maxwell Motor Company.
"The manufactures today who
wants to produce the very best values,
the utmost in service and quality for
a certain price must standardize every
possible process of the work. There
must be exact precision of workman
ship, standards of quality must be
maintained to the highest degree.
in producing the Maxwell car, the
endeavor is to accomplish two things,
namely the perfection of the car, and
development of our manufacturing
process TO eliminate all waste in mate
rails, labor and money"
Every part is so made interchange
able. 1t must fit into its place with
out strain. 1t must be right. Max
well make sure of the design. the
strength of the material used for each
one of the parts, and then adhere alb
solutely to the standard which they
have set for themselves. This is
what is meant by the term standard
ization as applied to the manufacture
of Maxwell cars.
"And if you will study the most sue
cessfal concerns you will find that
every one is following this plan. Not
perhaps to such great extent as is
the case with the Maxwell Motor
Company, but they realize that it is
the right course, and are making pro-
gress in that direction"
