SUPERVISOR BOGIE RESIGNS.
Accepts Position With Culven Company.

Mr.. John Bogie who has been the
Road Supervisor for Garrard county for
the past two years resigned this office
last week and has accepted a position
with the Newport Culvert Company, of
Newport, KY, and assumed his duties
last Monday morning, This is a very
lucrative job, paying $1,000 year and
his expenses. Mr.. Bogie is admirably
fitted for the position and his friends
are proud of his promotion. His family
will remain in this city. as Mr.. Bogie
will be on the road all of his time, but
hopes to run IN home every week.
The resignation Of Mr.. Bogie will
cause the appointment of his successor
and there is much speculation AS to who
the lucky man will be. The position Of
Road Supervisor is one Of the most i'm
portant in the county, requiring thought
and experience. beside which a rigid
examination must be passed to obtain it,
County Judge c. A. Arnold makes
the appointment. which must be ratified
by the Fiscal Court. There are many
applicants for the place and we trust a
good man will be chosen.

FIRST GOVERNOR TO DO IT

Kentucky is one hundred and twenty
three years old. and has had forty diff
ferent Governors, Owsley Stanley,
whose enemies said he was a drunkard,
q whiskeyette. and was elected by the
whlskey ring. was the first of the
States Governors who ever said there
should be no liquor furnished at any
dinner at the Mansion and that he
would touch no intoxicants during his
term of office. He was elected despite
what was said o: him, and those who
said the mean things are still "agin"
him. - Shelby Rec ord
Concerning Governor Stanley it can
be truly said that opportunity has be-
gotten caution and caution has bred
wisdom. He is mskinga great and adj
mirable Chief Executive-despi the
snarls of the benchlegs and the snap
ping of the ours. -Georgetown Times.

LANCASTER ROBBER CAUGHT

The identification of u. w. Grant"
as j. w. Rice. resident of Lexington.
was accomplished by the detectives of
Lexington late Friday afternoon.
After lons cross examination.
Grant confessed. according to Chief
Brown, that he was j. W. Rice, and
that he lived with his wife in Forest
Hill at $40 Whitney avenue. He said
ne came there from Chattanooga two
years ago.
The detectives say they believe that
they have established his connection
with the robbery of the safe in the
Louisville & Nashville railroad station
and the burglary of McRoberts' drug
store here at Lancaster last Wednesday
night, and the dynamiting of the safe
in the l.. l.. Roberts Furniture Com
pany of Lexington. last summer.
The ticket agent, Mr.. Kirk, at Lam
caster, and the conductor on Louis
vile a Nashville train were at police
station Friday afternoon and accompan-
led the detectives to the county jail of
Lexington where Rice is confined. Mr..
Kirk, agent. stated to Chief Brown
that Rice was the man who bought a
ticket for Lexington from him Thurs
Jay. The conductor stated that Rice
came to Lexington on his train that
morning from Lancaster. A sample of
soap used in cracking the depot safe
was declared to be identical with the
large lump in the Kit.
The syringe and dope" pellets found
in the KIT in possession of Rice when
arrested were identified by the detec-
tives as stolen from McRoberts' drug
store in Lancaster. Chief Brown stated
that Rice has never denied completely
in the robberles mentioned. but when
pressed with the accusation stated.
well, chief, YOU caught me with the
goods on in this Refining Company af-
fair. 80 why worry about any others?"
Mrs. Rice visited her husband Satur-
day morning in jail. He said to Lead
er reporter Saturday that he felt very
badly. Physicians have visited him
since his confinement.

A Wise MEASURE.

A bill has been introduced in the
Kentucky Legislature to reduce the
number of pre-emptory challenges in
felony cases. This measure has had
the endorsement of the County Attor-
neys' Association and also of the Com
monwealth's Attorneys. 1t is a meas
ure which The News has always favor
ed. The large number of challenges
now granted the accused without cause
are not used to secure fair and i'm
partial trial. as the best men summoned
for jury service are the ones excused,
in bad cases. They are used generally
to get the worst jury possible in hopes
that by this means, if an acquittal is
impossible, that one or two men can be
found to hang the jury. If the number
of challenges are reduced the number
of guilty men who escape will be re-
duced. but no person on trial for a
crime will have any of his just rights
taken from him, nor will the probability
of his conviction, if he is innocent. be
endangered. The change in the law
has always been defeated in the Leg
islature by a number of criminal LAWYERS
in the Legislature who made their
money by defending criminals and
whose success is marked by number
of guilty men they are able to acquit.

EX-GARRARDITE
Celebrates Sevent-Six Anniversary.

A few of the older citizens of this
city will remember with pleasure Mr..
James W. Ramsey. formerly of this
county, but now long a resident of
Washington, Ind. He was an intimate
friend of Mr. ]. W. Pumpnrey and was
his best man" at the latters wedding
nearly fifty years ago. Mr. Ramsey
now ranks as one of the leading citi-
zens of Washing ton and the following
from the Washington, Ind. Herald, ate
tests his popularity:
THE beautiful home of james w.
Ramsey, city councilman and revered
civil war veteran, was the scene of an
enjoyable gathering Saturday night
when his charming wife. to celebrate
her husbands seventy-sixth birthday
anniversary, entertained the city coun-
Gil. Mayor McCarty. and few invited
friends.
An impromptu program of tossts tol.
lowed the serving of an elaborate sup
per, Mayor McCarty. in his usual pleas
ing manner. presiding as master of cers
monies. The responses, brief but to
the point, were. profuse in congratula-
tons to the honor guest, whose resi-
dence in Washington since 1872 has
made him one of the city's most honor
ed and prominent citizens. As a climax
for the evening, Mayor McCartv pre-
scented Mr.. Ramsey with a gold-headed
umbrella. the gift of his colleagues in
council. Mr. Ramsey's response, de-
livered with an emotion that indicated
deep feeling, was most appropriate.

The Law With
The BARK ON IT.

Many of our subscribers ask us each
dsy why we do not publish list of the
prizes that have been drawn at the two
contests recently held in our town.
Such matter has been declared unmaiI.
able by the authorities at Washington
and Postmaster Brown has had his in.
structions in very plain language from
these powers that be.
Section 574 Of the Postal Laws of
1918 says:
Newspapers and other publica-
tons in transit which contain lot
terry advertisements or lists of
prizes drawn az lottery, shall be
held and report made to the As
slstant Attorney General for the
Post Office Depar tlnent for instruc-
tons.
Now this is the law with the bark on

published in detail list of the drawings.
