Governor Woodrow Wilson in the
conduct of his campaign for the presi
dency did not secure from corporations
every possible dollar that they were
willing to g've, then ask for more and
when it was not forthcoming, for the
sake of the effect it would have on the
people, blazon to the world the edict
that no money was to be received from
doubtful sources, as some other candi
dates we could mention have done in
previous races, he did not make a great
grand stand howl about "tainted
money"; he just simply from the out
set issued the firm statement that no
money would be accepted "with- a
string to it", that is money would not
be accepted from corporations, indivi
duals or any other source where some
thing was expected in return more
than party success, and deeming the
best source from which to secure such
funds, he announced that the most ac
ceptable contributions would be from
the people themselves, from every
democrat who felt willing and inclined
to contribute.
Kentucky desires to add $50,000. to
the national campaign fund by October
1st. . This may easily be done, and
done without injury to anyone, without
anyone feeling the monetary loss and
without placing our Chief Executive-to
-be under any obligations for the con
tributions. Every city and town in the
state has some one soliciting contribu
tions to this fund, there is a subscrip
tion being taken in Lancaster for the
people of the town and county, Mr. J.
R. Mount is regularly authorized to,
and will accept contributions. The
cause is a noble one, the need is ur
gent, come in and help out, give one
dollar and as many more as you feel
willing, able and inclined to give, but
give something and give it quickly and
let your name help to swell the list of
those who will aid in the raising of
this fund by the allotted time, October
1st
President-to-be Woodrow Wilson is
attracting as large crowds on his speak
ing tours as do some of the has--beens
who are engaged in seeking to succeed
themselves. His manner of conducting
his campaign is in striking contrast to
that of some of the other candidates.
While they, are riding over the country
indulging in vituperation against those
who oppose them and against any and
every thing which does not favor their
candidacy, Gov. Wilson is engaged in
the task of decorously expounding the
doctrine of old fashioned democracy,
and ever and anon assuring the people
that a democratic regime does not mean
the ruining of prosperity and a calamity
to the country as his opponents would
have them believe. His calm demeanor
and logical reasoning is attracting the
attention of the people, .many of whom
have heretofore been unable to decide
as to which horn of the dilemma they
would take, Teddy or Taft, but have
since hearing him decided to compromise
on Wilson.

Another Sale.
Mr. E. C. McWhorter, the popular
farmer and trader of Paint Lick, Ky.
was in town court day. He tells a
Central Record man that he will have
a big sale some time in October, selling
all his personal property including a
big lot of live stock. Mr. McWhorter's
wife has been in poor health for some
time and She and Mr. McWhorter left
this week for Louisville where she will
undergo an operation. Her many friends
hope that she may soon be well and
able to come home.
A Man Of Men.
Measured in every way and judged
by every standard, Governor Wilson
completely fills the bill of a man who
should occupy the high office of Presi
dent of the greatest nation on earth.
Capable, scholarly, courageous, safe
and patriotic, he will make an ideal
President whose single aim will be to
obey the constitution and do the
greatest good for the greatest number.
His majority should be so large that it
will serve lasting notice to the interests
that this is the government to the
people, by tho people, and not of the
people by the trusts.
Senator Bradley fires Opening Gun In The
Republican Campaign In Lexing
ton And Flays "Ball Moose"
Alive.
Nearly two thousand people heard
Senator William O Bradley sound the
keynote of the republican campaign in
a masterly speech of two hours duration
at the Opera house in Lexington on
last Saturday night. He ably defended
the administration of President Taft
and characterized the republican party
as the only progressive party and as
serted that it had been such for the
past fifty years. He was strong in his
denunciation of what he termed "Bull
Moose" hypocricy and anarchy. He in
the delivery of this splendid oration
performed what many of his hearers
termed a sacred duty to his home peo
ple and in such a manner as only the
gifted Senator can. Former Congressr

The school session opened. It did
not take long for the quarters to fill up
though I thought everything
L mathematically ready, but certain
grades fill more rapidly than others.
The enrollment was 273 and at least
two dozen were turned away until a
more convenient season. We have
provided for these and will be ready for
them Monday. We have had many
accessions from the country and would
welcome more. The people have been
very kind in our present ill-arranged
condition and I assure them that it is
appreciated. J. L. Riley.
October 24th Date Of Ed Gaines Corn Show
Mark Well The Date And Bring Your
Exhibits.
Ed C. Gaines will hold his annual corn
show on County Court day in October,
which is October 24th and not on
October 4th as was inadvertently stated
in a hand bill which was distributed on
last Monday, so mark well this correctiou
and bring in an exhibit. The annual
corn shows of Mr. Gaines have attracted
considerable attention in the past,
liberal premiums have been offered and
the competition has been lively, and
tne one neiu tnis year will be no
exception to the rule.
Pay No Heed To Them
Allie Jones of North Middleton has
been disbarred from exhibiting stock at
Paris fairs until he retracts some strong
language he is alleged to have used
when he failed to get a premium he
thought he should have been given, and
Harry Weissingerhas been barred from
the State Fair on the same grounds,
If we were to apply such dicipline to
every kicker in this neck of the woods,
we would be able to hold only one day
fairs, we would be out of exhibitor, all
would be disbarred. Every exhibitor
in every ring down this way is ready to
assert that he should most assuredly
have had the "blue". No attention is
paid to their wails and they always
show up again in the very next ring in
which they are eligible.
Another Farm Sold

accumulated his wealth in the Buckeye
neighborhood, his heart yearns for the

return to that locality. The host of
friends of cleyer "Tommie" Robinson
are rejoiced to know he will not leave
Garrard. He is one of our most pro
gressive farmers, an extensive trader
and breeder and fancier of high class
saddle horses, as well as a wheel horse
in politics, many times having been
mainly instrumental in pulling hard
pressed democratic candidates out of a
bad rut.

"A No. I" self styled King of
Hoboes and o philosophical tramp was
killed last week by falling from the
rods of a fast .moving train in Houston
Tex. He was a unique character,
claiming that his aim in life was to
reclaim and turn from their downward
path young men and boys who were
starting life as tramps. He has
travelled all over the world and aiways
left his peculiar mark of "A No. I"
and an arrow indicating the direction
he has taken in each town he visited.
These peculiar hieroglyphics are to be
seen in Lancaster as witenesses of his
last visit here.

closed promptly at 4 o'clock on Monday
afternoon and so heavy was the voting
during the last few days that it was not

their friends exerting every effort n
their power to secure votes for thair
respective candidates. Notwithstand
ing the extreme heat of the campaign,
the rivalry was at all times a friendly
one, and all hands maintained their
good humor. The young ladies demon

County Court.
. -
Monday was county court day and
because qf the rain Sunday rendering
it impossible to perform any kind of
farm labor, the largest crowd seen hern
in years came to town. Business in all
lines was brisk, the people all wearing
smiling faces and a general good feeling
pervaded the erifire crowd, due doubtless
to Jhe abundant crops with which we
are blessed.
There was about 230 cattle at the
qtock pens, good, bad and indifferent
and pretty much the entire lot changed
hande at prices ranging from 4 to 5J
cents per pound. There was between
250 and 300 mule colts on the market,
but buyers were scarce and comparitive '
few were sold, the prices not being
sufficiently large to induce the farmers
to part company with them. Prices
ranged from $50. for the small scrnhhv
little fellows to as high as $150.- for the
high grades.

School Opens.
The Lancaster schools opened Mon
day, in spots, under circumstances
which ordinarily would be almost un
endurable, but in view of the near ap

new school building, will cheerfully be
made the most of until better quarters
arc ready. The pupils are scattered
around over town in several different
buihdngs, which makes it exceedingly
hard on the teachers as well as th
pupils. But everyone, pupils, and
patrons are asked to lend their coon-
