Benefit Concert
A real treat for the music lovers
of Richmond will be .eiven on
Aug. 5th at the Normal Chapel,
when Mr. and Mrs. Joe Panther
will give a concert of the highest
order for the benefit of the P. A.
C. Infirmary. Mrs. Panther, who
before her marriage was Miss Ed

to need an introduction to a Rich
mond audience. She graduated
at the College of Music in Cincin

Springer Gold Medal. Mrs. Pan

possessing a tenor voice of un

Political . Prognostications, i
Having been out of the state
and county for several days, we
have lost touch with the political
situation in' its critical stages.
Glancing over the field in a gene
ral way, we summarize as follows
but the last days may change
this entirely:
The vote between Shackelford
and Rice will be close; probably
one hundred votes will divide the
chasm. Whoever is elected will
have a debt of gratitude for his
friends for nobly coming out to
vote this hot weather.
Clay will receive a larger vote
than was first counted for him.
He or White will be the second
man. Miller, if he keeps up his
lead, will pull" through with a
reasonably safe majority.
. Deatherage is the favorite in
the sheriffs race but they must all
watch Collins. No man can
safely go to sleep when Jones is
his opponent Little Van has not
lost anything in position though
he may not be nearer the front
than before. This race can be
won or lost in the eleventh hour
and all eyes will be kept skinned.
i ne jailers race is livening up
with Wagers "A raring up a-hind
and kicking up afore." He is
equal to a Ducking Droncno, a
whole circus of Buffalo Bills and
says that Taylor nor any other
candidate can't ride his back.
Whitlock and Noland are doing
some fine stunts in fancy racing
and both have outstretched hands
for the woodchuck.
ine county Attorneys race
has lost its snap, vim and vigor.
Not even the Five Thousand
Dollars which Madame Rumor
says one of the candidates will
sacrifice on the alter of his ambi
tion, will revivify it It will limp
along in the rear, eclipsed by the
Sheriffs' race and will finally be
determined by the law of combi
nations.
Card writing did you say?. Why
Brock and Edwards have become
experts. Each One has cards what
are cards, in the papers. Brock
is assailing Edwards for having a
certificate from Estill county like
that was a dishonor to him and
Edwards is defending himself.
What matters it where he was
examined if the state board ac
cepted his examination? They
were the final arbiters and they
accepted the certificate. Mr. Ed
wards is qualified and his certifi
cate was not obtained by fraudu
lent conduct Mr.' Brock will
lose by his assault on Mr. Ed
wards. And .now this last race. The
county court clerks, what of them?
Mr. Terrill is sure working some.
Mr. Walker had better get him a
wireless and get in touch with
the out-lying districts. Better
also get a good aeroplane and get
there for he has no time to stick
to the ordinary roads. If he beats
Bobbie TJerrill, he will accomplish
something that no ordinary ,- man
neecl try. 'His, friends say that
Jim is no ordinary man and that
his election is . assured.
This is the last of our prognos
tications. The" cold facts will be
givenjn our next issue. Then
we will either order flowers for a
funeral or powder for a jollifica
tion. But why not do like John
and Sallie did with the baby?
They had two names selected so
that one or the other would fit
the case. Why not order sorrie
flowers and some powder and be
ready?

Prof. James G. White Passes
Away
Prof. James Garrard White vice-
president of the Kentucky State
Universitv. and one of the most
prominent educators in Kentucky, ;
died at his home, 129 East Max
well street, Friday morning at;
6:45 o'clock, after an ijlness of
several months, due to aggravated
stomach trouble. He was sixty
years of age.
About a year and a half ago,.
following the death of his little
grandson and namesake, James
White Blessing, to whom he was
greatly attached, it was noticed by
his family that his health began
to decline, and it is believed that
grief over the little fellow's death
first started the indisposition,
which, aggravated later by over
work, underminded his health,
Which was never robust.
It was not until about six weeks
ago that he was taken seriously
ill. the attending physician pro
nouncing his ailment pneuritis.
Later this; developed into acute
stomach trouble.
All that medical skill and the
loving administrations of family
and friends could do was done for
the patient who, however, contin
ued to grow weaker until he sank
peacefully to sleep.
Besides his wife, Prof. White is
survived by two daughters, Miss
Clara W. White, who resides at
home with her parents, and Mrs
Martha Ripperdam Blessing, wife
of Dr. George F. Blessing, of
Swarthmore College, Pa.
He also leaves one brother Dr.
W. G. White, formerly of Louis
ville, but now of Richmond, Ky.,
wnere ne was until recently one
of the owners of the 'Richmond
Climax. His youngest brother,
Mr. Henry White of Chicago, died
only tour weeks ago, but owing
to' the serious illness of Prof.
White the news of his death was
not told and he passed away with
out knowing that his brother had
preceded him to the grave.
The funeral arrangements have
not been completed, pending the
arrival of Mr. Blessing, son-in-law
of the deceased. The interment,
however will be in the family lot
in the Lexington cemetery, beside
the grave of his little grandson,
who was the idol of his heart
Lexington Leader.

Shall The People Rule?
The campaign for County
offices is now being hotly contest
ed, and the questiou naturally
arises, "Shall the people rule?" or
will the people squander and
sacrifice their rights and privile
ges upon the altar . of Mammon,
by placing those in authority who
have bribed and corrupted the
voters of the county by and
through the use of MONEY and
WHISKY? This is the question
that the law-abiding citizens of
this County must solveon Aug
ust 2. As a candidate for the
office of County (Jlerk, I have
not used one penny or a drop of
Whisky to influence a single vot
er to support me, and I pledge
myself to the people of Madison
County not to use any Money or
Whisky in my race. If I cannot
secure the office by fair and
honorable means, I don't want it
I will never be guilty of the crime
of corrupting . the ballot and de
bauching men for the sake of
office. I will greatly, appreciate
any support accorded me in my
race, but above all, I want an
untrammeled ballot, an honest
election, and a fair count. That
is Democracy. That means a
goverment of the people, by the
people, and for the people. And
again I ask: : "Shall The People
Rule?" or will they turn the offices
over to those who corrupt the
ballot-box by the use of MONEY
and WHISKY? Let the people
answer. . .
