The Louisville and Nashville rail
way will pay dividend of three per
cent on its capital stock the first OF
next month. The capital being up
ward Of $l8,OOO,OOO the aggregate dis
tribution will be nearly $3.50 600. But
few people hereabouts own any stock
in this road. Three years ago when
it was down to $35 per share aud pay
ing no dividends considerable
amount was owned here, and our
county sold its interest at 100 to l4O
Since then the stock has been doubled
and it now ranges from LOG to lO8 in
value. The roads earnings from the
first of January to the Both of June
this year sums up $5,O25, 749, an in

ted here for commercial discounts,
but capital is in ample volume to meet
all requirements. Rates are quoted
stiff att to,8 per cent.

Custom has accorded to q public
officer who discharges his duty to
those who elected him and to the
people, u second term. LII COM
pliance With this custom and because
It's observance is 30 fully mcritcd In
the case OF the present incumbent
do We appeal to tho people for the
endorsement OF Mr.. Lowry ut the
ballot box next Tuesday. After
much persuasion he was induced to
make tho race two years ago and
has since changed his business te
some extent, which seems to justify
second term. Mr.. Lowry Is not an
office seeker In the ordinary sense OF
the term, and IL elected, rs We be-
lievc he will be, VIC shall expect to
see him at the close OF his term re-
turn to his farm, instead Of seeking to
pcrpctuatc himself upon the people
as o pcnsioner upon Office holding.
His official duties hive been thor
oughly and well done; his re-elcct.
lon will DO mcritcd endorsement Of
that fact as tho second election oil

Voters should see that the name Of
J. j. Lowry Is on their ticket.

The Office OF county supervisor Is
one Of Importance to the people. TO
this class OF officers are entrusted
large Gums Of money in the con-
strnction OF bridges and in prepar-
ing tho approaches to them. Upon
their Judgment, wisdom and pru-
dcnco depends largely whether the
expenses shall be made In the inter-
est OF economy with q wise foresight

and cxtravagantly expended to
make personal adheronts to tho per.

sent tho name OF p. r. Peterson, q
good and true man, and one whom
we believe should have the support
OF those who would secure the good
qualities we have mentioned In that

Tho republicans seldom mention
Mr.. Lincoln now In connection with

1t Il not the province OF legisla.
ton TO say that this individual or
that, shall loan morey to any per-
son or persons. It Is the province
Of law, however. II any person bc-
comes money lender. to say tho
percentage he may take for the use
OF his money. This is because the
possession or ownership OF money
may enable an individual owner, or
posscssor OF money to exact and
take from the borrower cxtortionate
rates OF interest. And what is true
OF money lending, is true OF other
branches Of business. The state has
no authority to say that any owner
or owners OF Touring mills shall do
custom milling.
But should any person engage In
such on enterprise, then II Is within
the province Of legislation to deter
mine the compensation or toll he may
take. And for the same reason that
the business Is monopoly In the
possession OF u few individuals who
may exact for their services such
compensation as they chooso with.
out restraint from the law. Recent
legislatures Of Iowa have attempted
to regulate this avscation by law,
but the milling interest by comLina-
ton or tactics with other threatened
moropolies haa succeeded In defeat
ing oil such legislation.
1t Is for the farmers OF the county
70 shy whether they desire to fortify
that interest at their expense, or
not, whether 1t shall be put under
such Just Legislative restrictions In
the state as will secure patrons fair
rates without aniustly impalring the
