Among the early industries of Bour
bon county were number Of mills
and distilleries. Among the most noted
of the former was the old Seamonds
mill, still standing, near North Mid
dletown This mill was erected in
1906 by Thomas Owens, who came
from Maryland In 1920 Major Man
son Seamonds purchased the old mill
from James Wells, and attached horse
power in order 10 run in dry weather
The old mill has been in the Sea-
monds family for over sixty years. The
dam is built entirely OF locust logs
The mill was originally one-horse
power mill, the first OF the kind in
Bourbon county. Thomas Owens also
operated a small distilery in the same
vicinity about thirty years. Those

try at the expense of others, and the people would not consent to the Gov ernment giving a large bounty to any steamship line. I do think however, that the United States could afford to of mail steamers to the east coast of South America. If she will do this am assured that the Argentine Republic will come forth and pay her share, and in time the business will so grow as to make such steamship line self supporting. There is now considerably more than one hundred million dollars worth of trade between the United States and Atlantic South America. We have a big trade with Brazil and our exchanges with Argentina annually amount to about $16,000.0 900. We sell also to Uruguay and Paraguay and with the establishment of fast ships we would have chance at a great part of the commerce between these coun- tries and Europe"
 But does this commerce amount to much?"
 "Yes, and 1t is growing every year The foreign trade of the Argo 1tiae Re- public is now annually worth $360. 00o,- 900. This is far more than the foreign inha abitants. Every Argentine family is as purchases of foreign goods are con cerned.

it's people approve of the part the Uni- ted States has taken in building it. When the news of the revolution in Panama first came there was some ex- citement concerning it. A few alarm tsts talked of the Yankee peril and the danger of the United States at tempting to take possession of the South American continent. This talk died out very quickly, and when the real story of the revolution and the action of the United States were pub lished public sentiment changed. The people realized that the canal would be a great help to the continent and they are very anxious to see the work push ed rapidly as possible. :"
 Monroe Doctrine in South America.
 How do the people down there look upon the Monroe doctrine?" I asked.
 They approve of it." said John Bar rett. They realize that they have a strong friend in the United States. and that it is our intention to aid them in resisting any encroachments on their territory by European powers. think the relations between the United States and South America ute growing moro friendly every year, and that If we could have better transportation and business association we would rapidly become united along many lines of pol icy As it is now the chief business of South America is with Europe. The best steamship lines go from the east coast directly to Europe, and there are no fast passenger steamers between us and Atlantic South America. This fact

is a great h.tzrance to, American trade as well as to closer business and social relations. I was talking with General Roca. the President of the Argentine Republic about this matter not long ago. He said that if we could have as good steamers from Buenos Ayres to New York as now pass between Buenos Ayres and the European ports there would be q rapid growth in the trade It would not only better the trade. but also the political relations of the two continents. As 1t is now. the travel and business of Argentina is altogeth- CT toward Europe. The round trip to Europe can be made in fifty days, and business man can get an answer within that long after he sends his or der. It takes from seyenty-fve to eighty days to do any kind of business between Buenos Ayres and New York, and the. result is that the European firms have the bulk of the trade. If we had good steamers. instead of go- ing to Europe and back direct. many of the Argentines would go there or come home by way of the United States. They would get acquainted with our country and people, and enormous in- crease of business will follow"

 Tell me something about the Argen- tine Republic. MT. Barrett?' said I.
 T hardly know where to begin" said tho Minister Argentina is an empire of enormous possibilities. It is to South America what the United States is to North America. It is a white mans country with a white mans cli- mate. It lies at about the same dist ance from the equator that our coun- try does and 1t raises similar crops.
 Argentine has vast area of fertile lands. If you will take all the United States east of the Mississippi and the tier of States which lie directly west of that river-that is, Minnesota. Iowa, Missouri Arkansas and Louisiana-and all the country east of them, you will have a territory about as large as the Argentine Republic. That territory has fully as much fertile land and the capacity to support as many people. It is a land of great rivers, including the Rio de la Plata system. up which the largest ocean steamers can go for 400 miles, and river steamers and barees for 2000 miles and more. It is a country with a long seacoast, with many accessible ports and country which now has 11,o00 miles of rail- roads. It Is the greatest sheep region of the world, having more than 110.- 900. 900 sheep on it's pastures. It has 2S,00O, 900 cattle. and the day may come when it will be the greatest meat coun- try on earth It has vast freezing es- tablishments where 1t annually freezes sheep by the millions and beeves by the hundreds of thousands for the ta- bles of Europe. and it's wheat fields

 The Yankee Peril.
 During the past six months I have travelled quite extensively in South America and have met leading men from nearly every republic. I have been in Brazil.

Uruguay during your stay in South America. Mir. Barrett2"
 "Yes: I visited Montevideo. and met the principal Uruguayan officials. TnaE country, although comparatively small for a South American republic. Is one of the richest on the continent. IL has excellent lands, and parts of it are as fertile as the best parts of Argentina. It Is cattle country, having about thirty-seven million acres of pastur- age. It also raises @ great deal Of wheat and corn. One of its chief ex-' ports is hides. which are sent by the' ship loads to the United States. We bought in the neighborhood of two million dollars worth of hides and skins from Uruguay last year, and we sent about million and half dollars worth of American goods there.
 What kind of place is Monte-s video?"
 Tt is one of the finest cities on the South American continent. It lies right on the sea on tongue of land so shaped that the rains wash its streets clean It has fine buildings street cars and electric lights and all sanitary Improvements. They are now dredging out the harbor and improv~ ing the city in other ways.'
 How BraxfI Grows.
 What Is going on in BraziI?'
 Brazil Is in q very good condftions~ said Minister Barrett. T stopped for a time in Rio Janeiro. and saw other cities along the coast. The country ia improving. and its vast resources are being slowly developed. Brazil is an empire in extent. It Is as large as the United States without Alaska and our outlying possessions. longer from north to south than from Pittsburg to San Francisco, and wider than from New York to Salt Lake. The country has all sorts of resources. In the south there are lands of much the same character as Argentina, where ceettle can be reared; farther north are the coffee countries. which produce the most of the coffee of the world, and in the vast territories of the Amazon is gathered most of the rubber used all over the globe, Brazil has gold mines, coal mines and diamond mines Parts of the country have never been pros- pected, and there are areas now wild which will some time support a@<ast population. As 1t is now, Brazil has almost half of all the people of South America and almost half the territory. It is wonderful country, and one of enormous possibilities"
