AS To Subscriptions
As used in this offer, a subscription means the
nrice of The Herald one year, applied either on
an old subscription or a new subscription A new
subscriber means a person not now on our list.
Changing the address of the paper from one mem
Der to another member of the same home does not
come within the meaning of a new subscription.
Contestants are at liberty to get either new or
old subscriptions from their own family or from
others. 1t will not be hard to persuade a person
not taking The Herald to subscribe and if they are
already getting it, you can persuade them to help
you win a bigger prize by paying up for a year
or two. The main thing is to hustle, then hustle
some more and keep it up.
Commissions Paid
In order that those who make an honest effort to
compile a winning list and who send in one or more
subscriptions, but who fail to win a prize, shall
receive something for their effort, we make this
offer: On all new subscriptions, and on that part
of old subscriptions paid in advance, we will pay
the contestants sending them in a commission of
10 per cent. All subscriptions must, of course. be
RENTED to us in full, but we will pay the commits
sions due non-prizewinners after the contest is
closed.

CORNER OF w. C. McHANEY
BUILDING GOES UP IN FLAMES

Wednesday night at about 11:10
o'clock, Mr.. A. G. Warren, who was
on duty as night watchman, heard an
explosion and going to the place from
which the sound came found the inter-
ior Of the Middleton grocery and the
Shackelford & Ross Barber Shop, in
the two story part of the w. c. Nc
Haney Block, of the West corner of
the Public Square, in flames. What
the explosion was, nobody can figure
out, as the pressing shop Of Roy
Holmes, in the adjoining one-story
part of the block carried no gasoline.
The fire alarm was turned in and
soon Howard Pearson, Lyman Arnold
Hall Frazier, and others were on the
scene and connection made with the
water plugs. Valiant work was done
and almost by a miracle the home of
Miss Mamie McHaney, fronting ON
old Purday street, which leads out
from the square, was saved. There
was fire wall between the Holmes
Pressing shop and the office of the
Lexington Republican, which fact per-
haps saved that office, as well as the
office of the Lexington Progress.
The main building destroyed was
built by the late w. c. McHaney in
1882, and in 1889 the balance of the
block was constructed by Mr. McHan-
ey.
Losses and Insurance are not def
finitely known. Miss Mamie McHaa,
ey who holds a life interest in the
property, carried $4,000 insurance on
the block, but her loss will exceed
that sum.
Shackelford & Ross barber shop
had $500 insurance with loss Of
about 81 800. -
Roy Holmes, who owned and oper-
ated the pressing business, carried but
$4,000 insurance on an outfit which
cost him $1,S00.
| Claude Middleton, whose grocery
occupied the corner building, had
100000 insurance, but as Mr.. Mid
dleton is reported sick at home, when
we go to press, we can get no estimate
of the value Of his stock-in, fact,
Mr.. Middleton was not present during
/ the progress of the fire.
| At least three young ladies had the,
bad luck in the burning Of the Holmes
pressing business-Misses Georgia,
Mccall, Eunice Melton and Eva Ross
having valuable dresses in the shop.
When the room was almost unbear--
| ably hot. Roy and Herman Holmes
entered the pressing room and car
lried out several suits ofjclothes which
were ready for delivery. Several suits
were lost.
Heroic work was done by those who,
fought the fire, but the need of organ
ization to fight fires is evident and
Mayor Holland says ne is going to or
ganize for that purpose.
Miss Mamie McHaney's chief advis-
or is her brother, DR.. H. A. McHaney,
of Kennett, Mo-, but she has an idea
that the corner building will be re-
placed for certain purpose which she,
has in view. There is no better busi-
ness stand in Lexington.

BELTON ROBERTSON
RECEIVES PARDON,

b Belton Robertson, henderson Co.,
whose sentence Of one to five years
for Involuntary manslaughter was af-
firmed by the Supreme Quart early
Saturday afternoon, was given a par
don by Governor Taylor late Saturday
afternoon after he had completed
reading the record in the case. Rob
ertson was convicted of killing Neal
sScates, neighbor, following a dis
ppte snd fight over the amount Of
corn to be received as a result of al
legged damages to field by Robert
sons hogs. The case of former ap-
peal to the Supreme Court was re-
versed and remanded, but upon ap-
peal after the second trial the court
affirmed the judgment of the lower
court Saturday.
Attorneys for Robertson sought to
have him released under bond for
twenty days in order that Governor
Taylor might consider the qeustion of
a pardon, but after a conference in
the governors office it was decided to
send Robertson to prison and permit
him to sit in the wings until Governor
Taylor could have time to go over the
record. The pardon was issued short
ly after the governor had completed
his study of the record in the case,
Robertson being in prison only few
hours and never having donned pris-
on garb.-Nashville Banner, May 20,

LExINoroN rHNSHssEH, FRIDAY,
RATE REDUCTION TO SAVE
PEOPLE BILLION ANNUALLY.

Washington, May 25th.--The ma
tons cost of living bill probably will
be reduced billion dollars as year as
the result of the 10 per cent reduction
in freight rates, ordered by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, govern
ment statistics experts said to-day.
This means a saving of $40 year
for every person in the country.
The reduction will cut the nations
freight bill from $500, 100000 to $400,-
100000 year, according to official
figures, and the government experts
who have been following the trend of
the cost of living estimates decrease
or an increase in freight charges is
more than tripled when it is finally
passed on to the consumer.
The Department of Justice, it was
learned today, has orders from Pres
ident Harding to see that the rate cut
is "passed down" to the consumer just
as rate increases during the war were
quickly "passed up"
The rate reduction to become effec-
tive on or before July /, and admins
trative officials look or its reflection
in cost of living figures shortly there
after.
Administration leaders look for the
rate cut order to have an immediate
stimulating effect on business, As
they pointed out, many business oper-
ations have been held back due to the
belief that rate reduction was near.
Meanwhile members of commission
are watching for the railroad execu-
tives to answer to the cut. Some be-
lieve the reduction may be fought in
courts on the grounds that the COM
mission has cut the earnings Of the
roads below the average Congress de-
sired they should receive.
/ One move on the part of the execu-
tives is certain. An appeal will be
made to the Labor Board in the near
future for the reduction of the wages
of all railroad workers, because of the
rate cut.
The decision Of freight rates clearly
indicated a strong sentiment among
some of the commissioners for pas
senger fare reduction, but the major
ity apparently still is against such
cut. The number of railroad pas
sengers decreased from $4,000, 900 in
June 1920, to 81 81,278,000 in January,
1922, and it was admitted that the
high passenger fares were partly re-
sponsible.
The commission pounted out that
the charge of so per cent on Pullman
accommodation have not caused q
proportionately greater decrease in
Pullman travel than was recorded in
all travel.

BIG SLASH ORDERED
BY LABOR BOARD

Chicago, May Maintenance of
may employees of the nations rail-
ways today faced $4S,000,00 wage
reduction, effective July l. The rail-
road labor board last night promul-
gated the order which affects 400,-
600 men. This order, the $400, ,000,-
600 slash of last July and orders af-
fecting other classes, if they carry the
same ratio of reductions, would place
railroad labor where it was before
the $600000,000 increase of May,
1920.
Impending decisions governing the
wage Of 100000 railway shopmen,
100000 clerks, telegraphers, station
employees and other classes, were ex-
pected to follow closely upon last
nights order, which cut the pay of
maintenance of way workers from one
to five cents an hour
With their settlement over morking
rules still pending, the "big four
brotherhoods and the swtchmen are
not yet involved in any wage dispute
before the board. These classes re-
ceived IL per cent reduction last July.
Eject Rejection.
Immediate consideration of last
nights order by the executive coun-
Gil Of the United Brotherhood of
Maintenance of Way Employees was
in prospect today, with the prediction
by B. M. Jewell, head Of the railway
department of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, that the decision will
be rejected when submitted to vote
of the men.
Brotherhood officials characterized
the cut as "indefensible," asserting
that the case they presented to the
board did not warrant the reduction.
Labor Members Talk.
The three labor members of the
board returned a dissenting opinion
to the order. The wage cut decision
was signed by the three members rep
resenting the public and three rail
road members.
Money saved by the wage reduction
will be expended in much needed
maintenance work, according to re-
ports of the roads to the board
Starting of this neglected work will
offer employment to 100000 addition
al men, it is said.
Wages of maintenance of way en-
ployes, now ranging from 28 to 40
cents an hour, will, after July l.
range from 23 to 35 cents. Common
labor suffered the biggest cut. This
class numbers about $4,000 employees
who face a reduction of five cents an
hour along with 1000 men who work
at shops, roundhouses and yards.
Foremen's Wages Cut.
Section, track and maintenance
foremen will take three-cent reduc.
tion, while mehcanics not under the
shop crafts agreement were cut -four
cents and mechanics helpers one cent
In its order the board expressed the
belief that after the reductions are
made common labor on the railroads
will still be receiving higher wage:
than similar labor in most other in
dustries.
