(From the Corin0ton, KY, PostJ
The Hon. john N. Rice, of Louisa, Law.
renee County, Kentucky, has for the past
two years retired from active life as Criminal
and Circuit Judge of the sixteenth Judicial
District of Kentucky.
He has for many years served his native
county and state in the legislature at Frank

dicial circles. The Judge is well-known
throughout the state and possesses the best
qualities which 60 to make Kentucky
gentleman honored wherever he is known.
A few days ago a Kentucky Post reporter
called upon Judge Rice, who in the follow
ing words related the history of the causes
that led to his retirement. at is just about
six years since l had an attack of rheuma-
tism slight at first, but soon developing into
Sciatic rheumatism, which began first with
acute shooting pains in the hips, gradually

Trunk LabelR.

Il wish you would have a porter
come up and wash the labels off my
trunks" remarked a well dressed man
as he signed his name to the book at the
Continental last night. The guest as he
spoke pointed to three big trunks that
stood III the baggage room. The trunks
were covered VIII. the yarious -libels
that indicated that they had made a
long continental journey. In days gone
by these labels were the proper thing,
and the man just home from Europe
considered those glaring tags as almost
sacred. But fashion has changed this

showbills indicative of travel are nc

MINING OF PHosPHA1Es.
Where Deposits Are Found and How
They Are Prepared.

The Florida phosphate deposits are Of
great Importance, yet theirs existence
was discovered SO recently and their
extent is still so uncertain that few per-
sons not engaged in the sale of fertiliz-
ing materials have much knowledge of
the large industry which has sprung up
in the Peninsular State. 1t has practical

center with modern improvements,
banking facilities and ample railway
and transportation facilities Engineer
ing, the leading engineering journal Of
the world, makes the following state
ments concerning the region, which are
of considerable interest as coming from
an unbiased source: "There is no phos.
phate region in the world known today
| that possesses SO many advantages for
successful mining as the Florida depos-
its. The grade of material is the highest
average that is being worked anywhere.
The facilities for moving the products
| to points for distribution are good The
average distance from mines to ports
| for shipments is about $50 miles.
1.-The distributing stations for the hard
rock district are Port Tampa, Fernan-
dina, Brunswick and Savannah, the
| largest tonnage being moved from Fer
nandina, where storage bins are located
and loading facilities are good. Port
Tampa, the terminus of the Plant sys-
tenn of railroads, is constantly adding
facilities for prompt handling of cargoes
of phosphate and at present very nearly
equals Fernandina in the amount of its
| shipments. Railroad are numerous and
cheaply constructed when necessary to
extend them into new sections. The
machinery needed to mine and prepare
the material is simple and inexpensive
compared with that generally used III
other mining operations, and the cost
of plant with sufficient land to work
upon is within the reach of small in.

are about $50 during the year. The eli.
