College at West Liberty.

The Presbyterian College is a
sure thing for West Liberty, as the
required amount has been paid up
and the site has been bought. The
church asked for $4,750 and the
site, which has been secured.
Work will begin about May /. 1t
will be a large, modern brick
building.

What the Housewife wants to
Know.

NOld stockings cut down the
seam make excellent cloths for
polishing furniture and floors, as
we'll as soft iron-holders.
Gasoline put on stains on awhite
silk waist, followed by as much
lump magnesia as the gasoline will
take up, well rubbed in, will gener-
ally remove the stains.
When grease is spilled on the
kitchen table or floor, pour cold
water on it at once to prevent its
soaking into the wood. 1t will
quickly harden and can be lifted
! wiz ssEnife.
To remove SCOT from a carpet,
sprinkle plenty of fine salt over it
and sweep along the grain of the
carpet. Repeat until every trace
of the SCOT is removed.
In making down pillows go over
the wrong side of the case with an
iron rubbed we'll with beeswax
each time it is applied to the cloth,
to prevent the down working
through the cloth.
Flat irons should be washed
every week and always kept in a
clean, dry place. Few housekeep-
ers use sufficient wax in ironing.
Do not allow your irons to become
red hot, as they will never again
retain the heat.
1t is almost literally true that no
book undertaken merely as task
work ever helped the reader to
knowledge of material or perma-
hent value. If you do not read a
work with keen enjoyment you are
not likely to gain anything from
the time you give to it.
1t would not be bad rule for
those who can read but little to
read no book until it has been pub
lished at least year or two. A
fever for the newest books, which
are frequently of an ephemeral
character, is not wholesome con-
dition OF mind.
Lay down the rule, and adhere
TO it, to read none but the best
books, and you will soon lose all
relish for the worthless ones. Few
and far between are the good works
Of the world. The reader who be-
Ncomes familiar with the writings
Of great author learns &c know
all that was best in one of the
worlds famous men.

WHY NOT
SEND j. CALHOUN MAYO
To Congress In 1906?
Whitesbmrg, Ky, Apr. 20, 'o4.
TAULBEE,

Editor Mt. Sterling Advocate
Many years ago "a greater num-
Der OF years than my wife sus-
poets when l was boy, my chief
delight was TO write for the news
papers. | seldom undertook to
write on topics weightier than
neighborhood gossip; but once
during those halcyon days, when 1
lived at West Liberty, wrote a
communication to the Mt Sterling
Sentinel advocating William Pres
ton Taulbee, then an illy-clad and
poorly fed young Methodist preach
err, for Congress.
The late Col. John Tom Hazel
rigg, then editor of the Licking
Valley Scorcher, published from
West Liberty, replied to my arti-
Gle, through his paper, and, wheth-
err a prospective candidate him
self and prompted by selfish motives
las. he was seldom, if ever, prompt
ed know not; anyhow, he ridi-
culed the idea, but ridicule nor
anything else could stop the Taul-
bee boom thus inaugurated. 1t
rolled over the Tenth District with
irresistible force and the silver
tongue of that brainey, brilliant
young Kentucky orator and states
man was soon heard In the coun-
ellis of the nation. Mr.. Taulbee
has often told me that he owed his
start in public life to that little
article / wrote for the Sentinel.

MAYO.

Now, not as a boy, but as a man
of varied experiences l beg ad
mission to the columns of the AID
vocATE, / trust not prematurely. to
propose to the Democrats of the
Tenth Congressional District the
name of that young Napoleon" of
the mountains, John G.. G. Mayo,
of Paintsville, johnson county, for
the nomination for Congress in
1906. 1 do not know that Mr..
Mayo has the slightest inclination
to go to Congress Mr.. Taulbee as
sured me that he had never thought
of the like until l proposed his
name), but if this article shall in
spire him with desire to serve his
country in the capacity of Con-
gresham, and cause Mayo boom,
equal to the Taulbee boom, to
sweep the district it's mission shall
have been accomplished.
Mr.. Mayo is not a politician but
a thorough business man, "true
blue' Democrat and in him are the
elements of able craftsmanship
He is not wornout office seeker.
He is broad gagged and brainey,
kind hearted and generous, and
makes friends of all with whom he
comes in contact.
A few years ago, he was PEN
niless young man, but by dint of
prodigious effort he has arisen to
business ability and prominence
equalled by few men in Kentucky,
and his wealth is estimated at
more than a million dollars. Did
he get it honestly? He did 1t by
legitimate speculation in mountain
land and mineral rights. He has
nothing to do with wildcat"
claims, but has dealt directly with
the resident owners, paying them
more than twice as much per acre
as they could have gotten from any
other source. He is the chief
promoter and leading spirit of the
great Northern Coal ana Coke
Company, which has come with it's
millions to develope Southeastern
Kentucky. Through the efforts of
Mr.. Mayo, more money has flowed
into this section of the State with
in the last five years, than within
twenty-five years before. He has
been honest, truthful and prompt

REPEOPLEIZING THE
COUNTRY'S INDUSTRIES
Judge 6rosscup Says Is the Next Great Step in
American Politics.

every fault-finder and rival may lay
hands upon it, as to make them rea-
sonably safe edifices in which those
who have the will may entrust their
investments. Corporate organization
has come to be the embodiment of our
entire industrial proprietorship. The
great aim should be to make this a
proprietorship widely diversified
among the people"
Judge Grosscup said: Corpora
tions are here to stay. Big
corporations are here to stay. Labor
unions that abide the laws are here
to stay. To deal with them, as one
would deal with mad dogs, is to ask
public opinion itself to go mad. But
these interests, corporate and personal,
one and all, must be brought under the
full dominion of law. They must be
allowed to trample no mans rights on
the ground. They must be allowed to
successfully shelter no man bent on
robbing his fellow men. They must,
and then can, be made the open door
to opportunity; the door through
which every American, great and
small may with reasonable security,
carry his ambition to share in his
country's prosperity, and in the free
dom of his countryS laws"

FIRE ON THE MANHATTAN.
Steamship in the Port of Charleston
to Have Cargo Removed.


Charleston, S. c., Jan. 27.-The
British steamer Manhattan, bound
from New Orleans to Bremen, came
INTO this port with cargo afire at 2
clock this morning. She has a cargo
OF 10000 square bales, 1000 round bales,
many hundred tons of cotton seed meal
and large quantity of cypress logs.
she draws twenty-seven feet and pass
ca through the jetties with ease. A
BOARD OF survey was held under di-
rectlon of Lloyds' agent, but it will be
several days before the extent of the
IRE, and loss can be ascertained.
When the fire was discovered on
me vessel yesterday a number of bales
OF cotton on the top deck were jet
usoned, but the removal of the cotton
cargo will not be begun to-day be-
cause of the necessity of first get
ing out the big logs which are on top
OF the cotton. 1t is thought that the
1re is confined to the shelter cargo
deck but this will not be known posi-
lively until the fire has been fully in
yestigated.
