Our friend, Master Commits

us a poster containing a list of
claims allowed by the Fiscal
Court of Powell county at its Oc-
tober term, 1875, forty-one years

we read it and re-read it. We
believe every citizen of the coun-
ty will be interested in its read.
ing as we were, so we are repro.
ducing this poster in full on this

1t will be seen that Curtis Mas
tin was the County Judge at that
time. 1t will also be observed
that the tax levy for that year
was but l2a cents on the hun
dred dollars for county purposes.
The list shows that teams on
roads were then paid $100 per
day.

Wilson says he is for woman Is
suffrage by individual States
vote. Hughes in unqualified
terms says he is for national wo-
mans suffrage. The Times is for
national woman's suffrage too,
as says Hughes. But let's see.
In the fall of 1915 proposed
woman's suffrage amendments
to the constitution of New York
and New Jersey were submitted
to the voters of those states.
President Wilson made a spe-
cial trip from Washington to
Princeton to register and anoth-
er special trip to vote for woman
suffrage.
The records of the Board of
Elections of New York county
fail to disclose that Mr.. Hughes
either registered or voted on this
occasion.
Furthermore, the records show
that since 1910 Mr.. Hughes has
wholly neglected to vote on any
question or for any candidate.
This is the highest duty of a
citizen.

WRITES OF DAYS GONE BY
George n. Sims, Famous London Jour
nalist, Gives His Receoiieetions
TO the World.

Most indefatigable and tireless Of
English Journalists, George r. Sims
has now, in his sixty-ninth year, begun
the writing Of his recollections of
Bohemian London. They are APP
pearing serially in the Evening News,
and 1t is safe to say that the columns
of that half penny newspaper Aave
never contained livelier or more d.
verting personal matter, says the Bos-
ton Transcript.
A part of his childhood was passed,
however, in Worcester, for his parents
went there shortly after his birth, and
there he was christened. Bit by bit
Mr.. Sims in his first installment tells
his readers something about his an
cestry. II has been asserted that he
Is of Jewish origin, but he denies 1t
and explains how he comes to have q
strain of Spanish blood in his veins.
my great-grandfather, Robert Sims,
was sturdy, handsome and well-todo
Berkshire yeoman. To the Berkshire
town into which he rode regularly on
market days there came a Spanish
grandee, Count Jose de Montito, who
was of the family which gave us the
Empress Eugene. He had left Spain
rs a political refugee, and his daugh.
ter, the Countess Elizabeth de Month
10, had come with him. My great.
grandfather fell in love with the beau
tifuI Spanish girl and married her,
She was quite a young girl when she
became his wife, but she lived happily
ever afterward,' and died a dear old
