THE C. O. p. IN FAYETTE

In the language of the poet, Fay
cite republicans are in an ell of a
fix. They held a meeting long and du-
ly advertised one night last week to
try to nominate candidates for coun-
ty Offices. The night came but with
it no crowd and no response to the
appeal for men to come over and help
pull z. o. D., out of a hole, by volun-
teering sacrifice on the altar of Of
fee. Knowing that they are up
against it and that the record of the
Democratic administration, headed
by Judge Frank A. Bullock, is with
out reproach and that it is worse
than useless to oppose him and the
ticket that will be nominated, there
has yet been found no Republican
fool hardy enough to want to be i'm
molated for his rashness, so a "per-
suasion committee" was appointed
to try to induce Republicans to run
for some of the offices at least. Per-
haps the committee may find some
who are longing for a little cheap
notoriety to accept nominations, but
they will be of class that will
neither command votes nor respect.
Meantime the Leader, fearing the
prestige that will be lost if the cleo
ton is allowed to go by default, is
rending it's neither garment and see-
ing that the volunteer plan is total
failure is urging a selective draft.
Unfortunately for it however, there
is no penalty that can be enforced
against slackers in this case and
Brer Giovannoli is becoming discon-
solate. The fusion trick of few
years ago can not be worked again
and it looks very much now like
there will be no opposition to the
Democrats ticket.

RURAL CREDITS sWINDLE

One of the bOldest Swlndles that
have been worked in Lexington since
the days of the get-rich investment
companies, which caught suckers by
the thousand on a promise to pay
tribe the money invested and finally
paid nothing. leaving the so-called
investors the bag to hold, is develop
ed in the Rural Credit Association
in the testimony taken by the ref
cree in bankruptcy. 1t seems that
one Vallandingham, who held con-
tract signed by Former Appellate
Judge John M. Lassing as the COM
pany's representative, got 25 per
cent. of all subscriptions, which was
practically all the money that was
collected. The strange part of the
story is that Gov. McCreary, who was
induced by an offer of $4,000 salary
to become president and lend his
honorable name to give endorsement
to the swindling scheme, was not
cognizant of this contract, neither
was j. L. Watkins, treasurer, nor j.
c.. Van Meter, the secretary. 1t is
claimed that it was not made mat
ter of record, a very conclusive evil
dence of fraudulent intent, for
which somebody or bodies ought to
be made to do time. A number of
our citizens are losers in the swim
die and they would be very glad to
hear that the Fayette grand jury had
indicted the rascals and that the
whole matter will be aired in Grim
inal court.

The transfer of the Office of col
lector of internal revenue in the sew.
enth district was made Saturday with
neither the outgoing nor the incom.
ing collector present. Ben Marshall
it is said made it convenient not to
be in the custom house at the time
and Percy Haly did not go near, pre-
| ferring to take the oath of Office at
the Phoenix Hotel. The two have
long been enemies and not having
spoken for 20 years, both apparently
feared what might happen should
they be thrown face to face. Hays
first act was to continue in Office all
those not protected by the civil SER
vice and for the present at least the
Office will be run by the same force.
The revenue agent found Marshall's
accounts all right and every cent of
the 83,22948 collected by him
accounted for. He has made a fine
collector but that cut no figure in
Senator Beckham's intention to have
him removed as soon as possible
man he says is personally obnoxious
to him. There is no rumor of further
internal revenue changes and it is
hoped that Collector Hughes and the
others that have made good will be
retained for another four years.
Editor Urey Woodson, of Owens
boro Messenger, is DISPOSED to be
facetious with the "little Toolev
Streeter" of the Lexington Herald,
but if he can appreciate when he is
we'll off he will desist. Should the ],
t. S. train his guns on him, he will
wish that he had never been born or
that a weight was tied about his
neck and that he was cast into the
beautiful Ohio which sweeps ma
iestically by this little village. Yer
bum sat sap, as we French say.

he should be elected, he would make

The Louisville Times is again tip
ping Ralp Gilbert. of Shelbyville, for
Congress i'm this district. 1t says that
there is an understanding between
Gilbert and George l.. Pickett that
they will not oppose each other in
the race. That's clever of the gentle
men. A nice little arrangement that
it is very probable that Congressman
Harvey Helm will materially inter-
fere with.

Laskey drama Sacrifice" Miss Hing

daughter of Stephen Stephani. high in
the inner councils OF the mythical
principality, Nordhof. Against it the
neighboring kingdom Of Zandria de-
clares war and plans a secret attack.

Count Wenezl to secure the secret plan
of attack against her country, with
which she escapes into her native land
by exchanging passports with herself,
travelling incognito at the border Re-
turning again to the enemy country
she reveals herself as Vesta Boris, to
save her dual personality, which de-
velops to be her sister. and as Yesta

The film is well staged and has
elaborate settings. Miss Ellington has a
dramatic part which she interprets well
but the action Of the play is tedious in
places and the relative parts Of the
dual personalities Miss Ellington takes
are not always entirely clear.
The second. installment Of the serial
'The Great Secret was shown and a
