FARMERS.
I The Buckwalter plant was still
tied up on account of the strike,
but as we returned on Friday af-
ternoon work had resumed. The
plant had been idle most of time
for month. Since our last visit
III. f. Martin has resumed his mer-
camille business.
1t was our pleasure again to go to
OLIVE HILL.
We had desired to see the rock
crusher at work Soon after reach

the Chesapeake Stone Co. This is

much of it being spread between
Cincinnati, o., and Hinton, W.
Va. AT present about go men are
at work, but the force will soon be
largely increased. Now the daily
output is % to 30 cars crushed
stone. The work has been estab-
lished two years in July. Mr.. T.
j. Davis, Sr., is General Manager,
and T. j. Davis, Jr., is Superin-
tendent. We found them agreea-
BILE gentlemen.
Our observation was interesting
We saw how it was done. The
drilling is done by compressed air,
but the drill was not in use during
our stay of an hour. The work
men are principally Italians. We
spoke English that day. The only
store here is kept by j. p. Whit d
Son, who are also erecting mod
ern business house in Olive Hill.
FIRE CLAY INDUSTRY.
While here July we wrote of
the work being done by the Harbi-
son u Walker Co. The plant is
rapidly coming to completion. 1t
is destined to be one Of the great
manufacturing enterprises of Ken
lucky.
The main building is now under
roof. Its dimensions are l25 by
275 feet or about II If of an acre.
Outside of this the engine house
and other buildings. The motive
power consists of two engines, one
of 300 horse power, another of S5.
In the shop is one of 10 horse
power. There are 10 kilns with a
daily capacity of 30, 200 bricks.
When the plant is in full opera
tion the working force will be 250
men in all departments. This is
the 10th plant operated by this
firm.
Ii is expected that the first
grinding of clay will be about Sep
tember 10, but by October |
everything will be in .first-class
order and then new era of com.
mercial prosperity will he inaugu-
rated in Carter county.
The machinery, building, kilns,
etc, will be frst-class, up-to-date
in quality and for convenient and
economical arrangement.
We are informed that in laying
off the ground, arrangement was
made for duplicate of the pres
ent plant nearing completion and
that work would begin on it very
soon. We saw John Clark, who is

In other letters we have given

We presume the business men will
be surprised to see these lines. a
froo-will offering for the good of
the town.
Our subscription list in Olive
Hill does not justify even these
facts, but we return good for evil.
One man did propose to take our
paper on condition that in every
issue we "have something to saw
about" or "give it to" the men
who will not pay their debts. We
assured him that failure to paw
debts was a serious defect in men.
but that we could not make the
promise. The conversation then
turned to the exemptions from debt
under the present law and its in
centives to dishonesty. We would
venture the remark that if many
men would make as much effort TO
pay their obligations as they do to
defraud their n'eighbors, the moral
status of many communities would
be considerably elevated. We have
read in an ancient volume: cove
no man anything save to love one
another. ~ The admonition is a
good one. Who will heed it?

Yacht club and of the New York Yacht
club was held yesterday at the club
house, and Sir Thomas Lipton's prOpo-
sition was submitted by Vice Commo-
dore Sherman Crawford. He said his

of gift providing that no vessel that
has been defeated in a match for this
cup can be again selected by any club
as its representative until after the

gives no power to the club holding
the cup to accept a challenge which
the instrument itself prohibits absO-
lutely. The committee did not think
it was intended that, after a boat had
had a trial for the cup and been de
feated that she should be allowed to

fed had elapsed, and SO declined to ac-

PEARL PADGETT FOUND
GUILTY AT SALT LAKE.

Pearl Padgett, the June bride, who
tells a highly romantic story of her eX'
periences in the Philippines. her mar
riage to a sergeant at Fort Russell,
Wyo., and several other lurid tales,
says the Salt Lake Tribune of Wednes-
day, was a%rraigned yesteday on the
charge of stealing a watch from Jim
Chin, a Chinaman and found guilty.
Her defense was that she was given
the watch to pawn, and that was all
she knew about the matter. Her sen
tence was suspended, pending a trial
today on a charge of stealing a skirt
from a Second South street rooming
house. She seems to be utterly care
less as to whether she gets five days
or five months, but will probably
change her mind ere she has been
under Uncle Soils supervision for a
short time. One of the witnesses whom
she wanted summoned in her behalf
said he did not know the woman, and
had never heard of her.

Kaiser Nav Challenge for Cup.

New York, Oct. 1O.-Much interest
has been excited in Berlin by the ru
NOR that it is the emperor's intention
to challenge for the Americas cup
but nothing definite is known on the
subject. For two years the emperor
has beeIi ambitious to challenge fol
the cup. but his advisers have dis
suaded him from trying until some
~tinality was attained regarding the
build of the yacht necessary. The
kaiser is persuaded that with a yacht
of the Meteor class he can accomplish
nothing. German builders are closely
studying the questions involved and
the kaiser is kept constantly posted
but nothing is yet known.
