to give more in dollars for labor ex-
pended. The practical is what the
farmer needs, something that will make
his products yield an income commen-
urate with his hours of careful toll, his
frugality and thrift, for what class ex-
ercises the close economy of the agri-
cultural? and yet no class is so poorly
paid and so heavily taxed. The only
hope for bettermcnt is in cooperation
and combination. Union is strength.
This is verified by other industries
which have grown rich and powerful
through the application Of this princi
pie. What causes many failures or par
tial failures is lack of concentration of
purpose. Concentration of force upon
a single object or for specified pur-
pose is as essential to success as is the
com bination Of force. No matter how
great the power applied unless exerted
for specific purpose it is wasted power.
Why may there not be State organiza
ton with its members located at the
centers of trade, with county organiza-
tions which shall fix the price of its
staples by consulting the State organi-
zation.
Let those able to hold and handle the
same take the products of any who may
be compelled to sell, so that nothing be
sold at sacrifice, thereby lowering the
price. Let this be purely and strictly
business operation conducted upon
business principles and it will surely
win. H. BEEBE.

A Tip on Manufactures.

"How Southern Towns May Secure
Manufactures" is the subject of an inter
esting and timely article by B. M.
Davenport of Cedartown, Ca, in the
last number Of Manufacturers Record.
He says that the first thing for a town
to do towards securing manufactures is
to organize business mems association,
in which Individual ambition and self
interest shall be laid aside. A town
should also deal literally, he says, with
manufacturers seeking locations. He
recommends that taxes be RENTED to
such concerns for three or FIVE years
that the city furnish them with water
and light free, If possible ;that individuals
donate the land for factory sites or that
the money for the purchase OF sites be
raised by subscription or appropriation
by the town, and that the necessary
buildings should be donated also, if
practicable. And he adds:
For many small, though profitable
industries, the building and power are
the largest part of the cost. An indi-
vidual or company could put up @
cheap industrial building to encourage
and foster these small industries by
renting to them both room and power.
Such a building need not be over one
story high, from thirty to fifty feet
wide, and from 100 to 800 feet in length.
At one end place boiler and engine,
and run line of shafting through the
entire length of the building. Divide
the structure into rooms of convenient
size by partitions crossing it from
twenty-five to forty feet apart; then
lease these rooms to manufacturers
with the necessary power to run their
machinery. This enables them to start
with but little outlay and establish their
business. III few months or years
they outgrow this building and build
for themselves and move out, giving
room for other beginners to move in
aud commence as they did and build up
their trade. The owner of the indus
trial building rents out space and fur
nishes power for good interest on his
investment and is establishing in the
town numerous valuable industries that
could never get start otherwise,
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-09-20

other industry and branch of business it
is useless for the agriculturiSt to try to
cope singly with these well organized
forces. AS we'll might a leadcrless mob
march against we'll disciplined and
differed foe. AS we'll oppose the cannon
of the last century to batteries of Rupk,
Armstrong or Hotchkiss' guns of to-day.
When cooperation is deemed necessary
not only TO the independence, but to the
very existence of the agricultural GLASS;
as freehOlders and not tenants OF an ar
istocracv of land owners, and an organi-
zation effected upon business principles,
then will the farmer be in a position to
demand and maintain his rights. Then
will he cease to be the pack horse upon
which all other industries lay their bur
dens and the quaint stecd upon which
others ride to opulence. But says one
what right is denied the farmer"' Ire
ply, ''the right accorded to every other
laborer; the right to fix the price Of the
nroducts of his labor. When his prod
ucts are taken to the dealer does not the
question SO often asked, How much
are you paying for potatoes, eggs or
fowls or whatever be the product offered,
indicate his helplessness and acquiescence
in his degredation?" Can he fix the
price of goods taken in exchange? All
Hx1+ Il Of
ual outputs to which the farmers must
accede. Cloth, shoes, farm implements,
groceries have all valuation fixed by
producers and dealers, and the farmer
alone asks, "What will you give?'
Manufacturers of various kinds combine,
merchants combine, money lenders com
bine, lawyers combine, workmen combine,
yea even the butchers effect'a combina-
ton on the farmers beef and amid the
forces so strongly entrenched in the for
tificatiOns of cooperation wander the
farmers not only crying, "What will you
give?' but too often cheapening each the
others products by competition. Breth-
rem these things ought not so to be.
What right has the man behind the
counter, who knows nothing of the
money time and labor invested in a
product to fix it's valuation? That right
belongs to the producer and to him
alone In all our great commercial and
business systems, the right TO fix the
value of the products of his labor are
only denied the farmer. But, says one,
GLOW can this be helped?' Just as
every other industry, business and pro
fession helps such conditions, namely,
by cooperation. What one class has &C
complished, another class may accom-
plish by the same methods. 1t is said
that the great industry Of agriculture is
composed Of so many individuals with
such varied interests that cooperation is
impossible. When working men COM
bine and fix the price Of labor from
Maine to Oregon and a few men fix the
prices of wheat, pork and other products
UP or down over the whole country with
the same ease that musician runs up
and down the scales, surely those en-
gagged in agriculture can devise way to
assert their rights and by combination
place themselves and the great industry
they represent on a plane with other pro-

No Wonder She's Sick.

There is a little fourteen-year-oId
girl very sick at her home in this city.
A visitor to her house the other day
found the following list of books
which she studies at school:
United States History.
Rays Practical Arithmetic.
Harvey's English Grammar.
Principles of Civil Government.
Eclectic Physiology.
Rays Elementary Algebra
Geography.
Stoddard's Mental Arithmetic.
Latin.
Spelling, lesson to be written.
She wrestles with this list of ten
studies for six hours in the school
room every day, and from four o'clock
in the evening until bed time. Is it
any wonder that she is sick Isn't il
more remarkable that she has not de-
lirium tremens? 1t is not surprising
that we see so many paid faces and
spectacles among the little children
these days.-Danville Advocate.

The two negroes George and John
Stoner, charged with killing Miss
Trimble last week are a sleek pair of
ducks. OF course their statement
makes them innocent beyond even the
slightest suspicion. They are very
careful how they talk-"Dont know
nuffin," to degree that they can not
not fail to make the impression that
they do know something. rhe fact
is there are too many murders in this
country, some hanging must be done,
Anarchists, cranks and Junatics are
decidedly too numerous. A man may
shoot another down in broad daylight
without the slightest provocation and
go free or go to and fro through the
courts until the case is worn out and
the murderer is set at liberty to wait
an opportunity when he can even up
with a witness or some other one OF
his enemies.

after his prisoner Robert Huff charged
with forging two checks, one on Nor

county, for SIS, and one on w. w.
Thompson for Sc. The prisoner claims
he was trading in checks at the time
and had given pistol for the $6
check and watch and Sc IN money
for the other. He said he did not
know the parties he got the checks
from and didn't know where to find
them. His wasa flimsy story when
connected with the fact that since he
has been here he has been recognized
as the party who had forged Other

MT. STERLING. KENTUCKY, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 81,

sponded the Mayor. Noticing spot
Of blood on the Mayors waistcoat Mr.
Chalmers said. IL guess not"
.I'm shot in the heart and / am a
dead man." was the only reply that
the dying man made. A moment
later he said with voice that was
rapidly losing staength: "Unbutton
my, vest, Chalmers, there's where the
trouble is !"
BY this time the stricken man had
been borne to couch in an adjoining
room, and as quickly as he spoke, Mr..
Chalmers gently opened his waistcoat.
The front of his shirt was soaked in
blood, which welled rapidly from two
holes, one just above the heart and
the other in the abdomen.
"It's through the heart" said the
Mayor again, his voice now scarcely
above a whisper. A moment later he
sank into Inconsistencies, and TWEEN
minutes after receiving the wounds,
Carter Harrison was dead.
The murderer, pursued by the
coachman, ran to Desplaines street
station, which he entered and without
resistance surrendered. He was taken
by the police to the Central station and
surrounded by guard of officers to
keep the assembled mob from wreck
ing summary vengeance on the foul
assassin.

Editor Gratz, of Lexington, says
"Carter Harrison was born in this
(Fayette) county, near Russell Cave,
on the farm now owned by VIM.
Kenney, adjoining the famous Elmen-
dorf Stud Farm. / think he was
born about 1926, as he is about year
younger than myself. His father
died when he Carter was quite
young. His mother, after becoming
quite advanced in life, married Rev.
Thos. P. Dudley, the noted Baptist
minister. There had been an attach

but Mrs. Dudley being in the Insane

After graduating he attended Tran

being Judges Marshall, Wooley and
Chief Justice Robertson. Carter was
bright young man of corretc habits,
studious and highly respected by both
professors aud classmates. He was
very much attached to Lexington and
this county, and after leaving here
made frequent visits, especially dur
ing the life of his mother.
"He was very fond of his old asso-

me word that he felt hurt at my not
calling to see him while was in Chi

after graduating from the law school,

went there, invested it judiciously

WATER WORKS (!
Contract Closed With stroh, Con-

Through Their Representative,
Mr.. s. r. Conrad.
Bond for $4,000 Taken and

On the 18th day of this month the
Mt. Sterling Water Works Company
made proposition TO Stroh, Conrad,
Reed & Co., Pennsylvania parties,
through their agent, Mr.. j. M. Pick
rell, of this city, and they were given
until the 25th inst, to accept same and
make bond. Mr.. Conrad arrived here
on the 25th inst,, and in the afternoon
the contract was accepted and bond
given. In the evening the Water
Works Company presented the bond
to the Coupcil, and after few hours
of discussion. the bond was unani-
mously approved.
So it seems after these years of
work we are at last to have water
works. 1t will cost the city $500
per year for hydrant rental, and while
this may appear to be an enormous
amount, besides the fire protec-
ton, the advantages and comforts, it
is estimated that there will be an an
nual saving to the taxpayers on in
surance to an amount not less than
$4,000.
The bond requires the Construc-
ton Company to begin the work in
good faith by December %, 1898, and
to complete the plant according to the
plans and specifications of the Water
Company's contract with the city and
have in successful operation in twelve
months.
1t has not as yet been decided from
what point water will be brought. II
may be from Slate creek, or from
Hinkston creek above the crossing of
the Levee pike. The question of ex-
pense. quality and quantity of water
will be considered in the question of
deciding this matter. The people of
this city are exceedingly anxious
about water works, knowing that no
city amounts to much without a sup
ply of water. With united move
from this time, every man using his
