ATTEMpT TO ROB TWO STORES.

There was bold attempt to rob the
wv w. Sweat dry-goods store and
Boiler grocery last Friday morning
which must have been done at very
close to kdaylight--in fact, Night
WAtchmsh Jim Davis, who was on 'du-
~, says that he was. on that spot as
Tate as 4:a0 o'clock.
One asfger hole attempted, cracked
the heavy plate glass in the Sweat
front door but the principal effort to
enter the house was BY means of the
1h4ck door where hole was made
.lafge enough for mans hand--b but
a12B for the robbers, a steel hasp fas-
tenga with good paddock had been
put thereon and could not be removed
|Wi6hout much noise---hence the rob
ben were foiled. A circle of auger
h5leS were bored around the lock on
|lhe hack door of the Butler grocery
|bur seviuentfy the coming 0f day light
or some other cause frightened away
the thieves.
The thieves who are outwitting the
officers of the law in and about Lex
ington, will doubtless see this notice
and laugh at the impotency of honest
men and the law.
The part of the glass that was
broken last Friday morning was re-
moved from the front door of the
Sweat store Monday night as if the
thieves had again attempted to enter
the Sweat store. Nothing was miss
ed from the large stock of goods.

SWAIN SHOW COMPANY
PlsAYING TO TENT FULLS.

L Lexington's first love in the tented
show line, the w. |. Swain Company,
began playing here for the week last
Monday night, on the Boswell lot op-
posite the Hotel Lexington, as here
toforey end Major Swain was especial
ly pleased that his Monday night
crowd under the enlarged tent was
the biggest he had ever had here.
The plays are all good, some lik-
ing comedy while others prefer the
Reproduced stories of more serious
vein-but on the whole Swain does
so well that he gets crowds under cir
cumstances and condition that others
fail.
Several Of the players are known
here--and we feel especially glad
that we have with US, Messrs. Bert
Hedden and Sam Hunter, whom we
have known since 1916, or earlier
and their goo dwives are with them.
Some think money spent on show
is lost--but we do not. We have seen
many of them in our time and wish
we could have seen more. Normal
human beings crave amusement, for
life without it would be rather drab
than is pleasing to the eye Of a lover
Of bright coloring. Swain's Show will
be with us until Saturday night, in
elusive, with Saturday afternoon mat
|inee, so go and shave good time
while you have many,

HUSTON BOOM FOR
SENATE HITS SNAG.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept 29.-The
boom for C. H. Huston sent out from
Washington for the Republican nomi-
nation for the United States Senate
has hit double snag and run into a
split switch or two in Tennessee, ac-
cording to a well-known Sanders
Hooper-Taylor Republican who reach
ed Chattanooga Wednesday from
a trip over Tennessee. First, the at
titude of Governor Alf A. Taylor on
the senatorial race is yet undetermin-
ed, as he may run for the senate, and
again he may stand for reelection,
and until his position is known his
friends insist that the race for the
senate should, in Difference to him,
the titular leader of the party, be left
open. Second, the following of for
mer Senator Newell Sanders, ex-Gov.
B. w. Hooper, Congressman j. Will
Taylor, National Committeeman John
w. Overall and other leaders of the
faction In control in the state profess
to see in the Huston candidacy an eff
fort and adroit move on the part of
former Congressman Sam Sells and
other anti-Sanders men to get control
OF the party organization and later
put either Jesse Ltitleton Mr.. Sells
on the national committee, succeeding
John w. Overall. The factional fight
between Sells and Huston and Overall
is very bitter, as Overall beat Little
ton for the Republican nomination for
governor in 1916 and later succeeded
him on the national committee, but
while Littleton was committeeman
from Tennessee he had Huston made
the Tennessee member of the national
finance committee. The strongest OBJ
lection to Huston is his short resi-
dence in Tennessee. Littleton also
made John c. Houk chairman of the
campaign committee in Tennessee last
year, but he was later succeeded by
Sam Sells. But politics make strange
bedfellows, and Littleton, Huston,
Hoak, Sam Sells, A. G.. Matthews,
Hon. H. Clements, former state chair
man, Emerson Luther and Senator
Press Monroe and Harry Anderson are
now lined up, it is said, together in an
effort to wrest control from the dom
inant faction. The dominant faction
is led by former Senator Newell San
ders, Gov. Hooper, Overall, Congress
man Reese, Congressman j. Will Tay-
lor, James A. Fowler and other lead
ers. The Sanders Republicans claim
they want a man for the senate who
can unite the party. They say Gov.
Taylor is first choice, or a man like
James Fowler, Z. T. Sanford, Asbury
Wright or Chancellor Hal Haynes
Banner.
