ing Well Struck Here A
Century Ago.
LINCOLN'S EARLY PRODUCER.

Eight miles from Stanford, in Lin
coin county salt well which was
drilled in 1889, struck an unexpected
vein of oil which gushed out and took
| fire, burning for several weeks. Fur
Their development of this tract was
not conducted until 1876 when three
more wells were drilled further up
the creek, one of which came in
buster, the other two showing traces
of oil. Indications of the presence
of oil in great quantities on the sur
face of the ground gave substance
for the belief that oil would be found
over an extensive area. Basing the
belief on these indications company
was organized and well was bored
on a tract of land three miles south
of the first location. A production
Of dark, illfavored oil was obtained
which was sent to Glasgow and Louis
vile to the refinery.
A location, twelve miles southwest
of this well, on Green River and four
shallow wells were drilled, one of
which flowed for brief period at the
IA tie of 400 barrels a day. Later
another well was sunk 200 feet on a
tract OF land near Bowling Green,
from winch few gallons OF oil was
obtained. Interest decreased in this
section until 1918, when twenty or
more companies were organized and
more than 10000 acres of land was
leased, preparations being made for
the drilling OF ten wells at one time.
The entire section was aroused to ae-
ton and the frame of the new pool
soon spread to other oil fields, Great
ing such an interest that number Of
larger companies sent scouts to this
section to ascertain the possibilities
OF obtaining leases.
This county lies in the area that Is
along the belt of the crest of the
CINCINNATI Anticline, along which the
ONO black shale rests, which is con-
the most productive oil hori-
zon IN the state. In this situation
the oil is generally accredited to the

JUDGE HARDIN
Makes Statement And
Gives Some Reasons
For His Recent
Defeat.

A statement by Judge Charles A.
Hardin of the cause that he believes
led to his defeat for congress, has
been made. The stay at home vote
was the principal cause. but there
were "a multiplicity of causes" Hold
ing the special election on the day of
the primary and confusing it with the
primary lost him many votes as there
was much Indifference in the con-
tests. Opposition to the income tax,
the new state tax law, Swope's ex-
travagant promises to the soldiers
and plea that they stood together re-
gardless Of politics, the high cost of
living and the unique situation of
both candidates for governor reflect
ing on the Stanley administration and
charging Stanley machine politics,
were other causes. The unsettled
state of the public mind, with the Re-
publican management doing its best
to dissatisfy and confuse, a splendid
opposition organization and tireless
effort all combined to his defeat and
made him feel like Gen. Logan when
defeated for president, that is like
the boy who stumped his toe. 1t
hurt like hell, but he was too big to
cry.
Judge Hardin calls attention to the
significant fact that he received i'm
each of the counties more vote
the combined vote of the three can
didates for governor, which shows
that there was no personal opposition
to him. Recognition of the valuable
services Of the Democratic press of
the district, together with the aid of
the Courier-Journal and Times, is
made the heartiest thanks returned,
the statement closing eloquently as
follows:
ut is comforting for me to be-
lieve that my race has been of great
importance of both State and nation
in revealing the state of mind exist
ing in this district and Kentucky to-
day. IL we accept the warning, | am
persuaded that all that is necessary
for our candidate for Governor and
his acket to win. is an efficient organ
ization. a thorough and aggressive
campaign of education to reduce the
confusion of the public mind to
and induce maximum of
clear thinking on the questions that
seem to cause the confu-
sion. know that we have the argu-
ment and every nducement for pa
triotic effort. and that our people will
gladly respond to the call of right and |
justice.

together with its aims to make work |
