Peace News Fails to Impress and
Does Not Become Factor.


New York. Sept 1.-TWO distinct
currents ran through the stock mar
ket today. The industrials were dis
tinctly weak. The rails were steady
to strong. Peace news did not figure
as much Of a factor because the ma
jority Of men in the street believe that
the German and Austrian replies to
the Pope will not interfere with the
purpose OF America and the European
allies.
The steel and copper groups yielded
from IL to 21-2 points with only
fractional recovery Mexican Petrol
cum lost 21-2 Bethlehem Steel b
sold down points.
On the other hand st. Paul, Balti-
more and Ohio. leaders among the
rails. at all times displayed a Arm
undertone.
The days weakness was attributed
largely to the operations of bear spec
ulators. The strength in the rails was
due, it was generally held, to tho
scattered buying Of investment seek
ers.
The average OF twenty-five repre-
sentative issues including fifteen rail-
roads and ten industrials at today's
close was S7.ss compared with $500
yesterday.
Bonds today were quiet and steady.

is not until now that we have been
authorized to announce Mr.. Arch X.
Walker as candidate for the office of
sheriff of Garrard county, subject to
the action of the Democratic primary

nounces that Mr.. V. A. Lear will be his
deputy in case he is nominated and
elected and they both promise to give
prompt. careful and courteous attention
to the duties of the office and to use
their best efforts in maintaining the
highest standard of efficiency. Mr..
Walker has long been identified with
the Democracy Of Garrard county and
is always found working for the party $
interest. Mr.. Lear is too well known
to need and introduction to Garrard
county constituency. having -been born
and reared in the county and one of ou-
most popular stock dealers.
Both of the Sc gentleman are popular,
deserving and capable and that they
will make a strong race goes without
saying. We therefore bespeak for

ton to which they are Justly entitled.

WEBB--KENYON ACT
Supreme Court Holds Valid, Law Barring
Liquor FrOm Dry States.

The Webb Kenyon law. designed to
prevent the shipment of liquor from
wet To dry territory, was Monday
declared valid by the Supreme Court of
the United States by vote of to 2.
This is another blow at red liquor
another victory for the 'drys".
The purpose of the act, rs pointed
out by the Chief Justice in announcing
the decision of the court, was to cut
out by the roots the practice of per
hitting violation of state liquor laws.
Congress, the court said, mad complete
power to prevent the paraly zing OF
state authorities.
The far-reaching consequence of this
decision is quite apparent. No Longer
can wet state, under cover of the
commerce clause of the federal constl
tuition. ship liquor into dry state il
violation of the laws of the latter. Tn,
law even goes further. Ii says that nc
liquor shall be shipped from a wet to d
dry territory. This means that M
state, other than Kentucky, can shii
liquor into Garrard county In violation
OF the laws of this county. 1t means
that il Kentucky goes dr., the imbiber'
of this state shall be unable to ship Ii
auor from foreign territory withou,

numbers of mules have been imported
from America for use at the front. but
their habit of braying at announcement
