FARMERS NOT BEING
x FAVORED
e. F. TUCKER,

There are plenty of people in this
and eiother communities who believe
that the farmer has snap and that
in the advancing prices of all prod
ucts, he has reaped a rich harvest.
In some instances the farmer has
Jared well, but the drop in hogs hit
him heavy, many feeders loosing their
original investment and a portion of
the value of the corn fed. An in
stance of this fact is shown in the
record of the bunch of hogs recently
marketed by D. G. Haworth, of near
Lucas. Mr.. Haworth is better equip
ped to feed successfully than most
farmers and he takes good care of his
stock, too. A bunch of shoats put
and marketed December "a brought a
total of $646.70 and during the period
in which they were fed they con-
sumed $40 bushels of corn. This corn
marketed at prevailing prices would
have brought Mr. Haworth $3.50 per
bushel, or $765. Thus it will be seen
that this feeder would have been bet
ter off had he killed or given away
his bunch of hogs in September and
sold the grain at the market price.
Other farmers report considerable
losses on hogs, though the price looks
pretty fair to the average man who
doesn't know the business.-Chariton

BABY IS LEFT
ON HIGHWAY

Wrapped in swaddling clothes
bright blue eyed girl baby was founo
in a basket on the Augusta highway
about seven miles west of Lexington
late Yesterday afternoon by MIR. Hamp-
ton Laird who happened to be passing
in his automobile. The basket with the
innocent babe was in the middle OF
the highway, and Mr.. Laird saw it IN
time to stop his car before passing
over the object. ...-
Gently picking the basket up Mr..
Laird was surprised and dumbfounded
when he realized that he had found a
baby. He brought the package to Lex
ington and delivered it to Sheriff Mil
ler at the county jail. Upon examlna-
ton it was found that the basket did
not even contain a change Of clothing
for the child. Besides one tiny dress,
a pair OF socks and the outing eloth
with which the infant was wrapped,
there was nothing. No milk bottle, no
pacifier nor anything to aid the COM
fort of the abandoned child. No note
or anything was left that would give
any information throwing light on the
perpetrators of the heartless crime.
The tracks of a man and the tracks
of a woman were found near the bas-
ket.
Sheriff and Mrs Miller took the lit
tie one in and ministered to its needs,
and each of the hundreds of persons
who called at the county Jail last
night were of the opinion that the
child could not have fallen into better
hands.
Sheriff Miller stated that he would
make an effort to locate the guilty
parties. It is the consensus Of opin-
ion that the child was left in the road
by travellers, it being inconceivable
that anyone in the neighborhood would
be guilty of such cruel and heartiess
act as to place a four weeks old infant
cut in the cold on highway where
hundreds of automobiles pass daily
and at such a late hour in the even
ling.

CHIEF KELSO ARRIVED
IN LEXINGTON FRIDAY

Declaring that he felt ten years
Younger than he did when ne 1lrsI
nlaced his foot on Lexington soil some
ten wears ago. and looking as hale and
as hearty as a sixteen year old boy
Cant Chas. H. Kelso, the big chief
from Cleveland, Ohio, arrived in Lex
ington Friday to spend the remainder
of the winter and part of the early
summer at his winter home here. AS
soon as the big-hearted, whole-souled
chief alighted from an automobile,
the the people began to greet him
with a. hearty welcome. Both old and
Iyoung have learned to love him, and
every one holds him in affectionate
regard.
Soon after arriving here Mr.. Kelso
hoisted his big American flag at his
home on College Hill, and those who
had not heard of his arrival knew that
the big man from Cleveland had ar
rived. Chief Kelso is an American
citizen. He loves this country with all
the arder of his being, and every time
he comes to town he raises the stars
and stripes over his bungalos.
Chief Kelso first came to Lexington
about ten years ago, having been
brought here by Hon. Frank w.
Shealy. Mr.. Shealy happened to be in
Florida, and Chief Kelso was spend
ing the winter there. By chance the
two men met and they at once became
chums. The friendship grew between
them until they soon became bosom
friends. When Mr.. Shealy returned
| to Lexington he was soon followed by
Mr.. Kelso. After remaining here for
some days as the guest of Mr.. Shealy;
Mr. Kelso became attached to the
people Of Lexington, as well as to the
climate, and it: was not long before he
had made up his mind to spend the
winters, during the remainder of his
life, in this splendid little village. He
waited for an opportunity to buy real
estate. A few years ago he purchas-
ed the old Palmetto Collegiate Insti-
tute building on College HILL, He
converted con-, this into two Of the prettiest
residences of the bungalo type to be
found anywhere, and now he has be-
come real Lexingtonian.
Mr.. Kelso, or Chief Kelso, as he is
affectionately called by all Of his
friends, is one Of the most prominent
men of Cleveland. For years he has
held the position Of Chief detective for
Ia large syndicate of electric railways,
one Of the biggest in the United Stat
es. He is also deputy sheriff Of his
county besides. being connected with
numbers of other enterprises. Ee is a
Democrat from. the top Of his head to
the sole of his feet. He had charge of
; William Jennings Bryan's special
train during the two times the great
iCommoner made the race for the presi-
dency, and he and Mr. Bryan are
strong personal friends. ..s..
Chief Kelso will go to Florida to
spend af ew days about the last of
February, but will return to his home
here about the middle Of March.

that it is composed entirely of local
boys, many of whom are trying out on
the stage for the first time. This may
be hard to conceive when the snap and
precision and thoroughness of the per-
forma1lce is seen, and when it is re-
Elected that they have worked up this
show only for your amusement and to
help in raising funds to furnish their
club rooms in the Corley building, but
to think of it as professional pro-
