Foolish.

THE state in the matter of
drainage has been unable to see
where it's interests lie. It has
been demonstrated beyond the
possibility Of reasonable dispute
that every dollar spent by the
STATEN draining it's swamp lands
has been returned to it two and
three and four fold and yet, while
thousands of acres of state land
lie undrained and proftless the
state refuses to grant an ade-
quate appropriation for this pur-
pose-not only refuses to do
what is urgently needed for the
betterment of the condition. of
its citizens and the advancement
OF the general prosperity Of the
state but actually refuses to.
reach out it's hand and take a
certain profit. It is true that
the legislature has appropriated
$50, 900 per year for the ensuing
two years for drainage. but the
sum is utterly inadequate and
the inability Of the legislature to
grasp the principles which un-
.derlie this matter will materially
prevent the legitimate develop
ment of the entire northern por-
ton of the state

late the British steamer Dunolly Cas-
tie, which cleared from Diego Suarez,
Madagascar, April IA for Batavia,
Java, put in here during the day and
asked for 900 tons of coal. She was
informed that she would be allowed
to take 600 tons, but when 100 tons
had been taken on board the colonial
officials stopped her from taking any
home government. The action of the
local officials was due to statements
by members of the crew to the effect
that the Juliet is carrying stores to
the Russian squadron in the China

Drop in Flour.

Last week there was a drop of
4of per hundred on Wholesale price
of -four. We clip from Lexington
Leader of July 25th:
This sudden drop in the price,
following so soon after the an
nouncement that the farmers had
decided to hold their wheat for 81,
caused the wheat growers to regard
1T as trick to force them to ,sell
their wheat at the prevailing prices,
which range from IS to 80 cents a
bushel.
A prominent local mill man said.
Eyes it is true that the whole
sale price of -four has been reduced
from SO 40 to SO hundred. The
drop is caused by the appearance
of the new crop of wheat. Up to
the present time we have been mill
ing last years wheat. which cost
us from $l.10 TO $I.15 a bushcl.
For new wheat we are paying from
So to 80 cents, and we thought il
no more than right to give our pa
irons the benefit of the margin.

A WARNING.

On Sunday evening Rev. J. R.
Hobbs, of the Baptist church, de-
livered strong sermon on Civic
Righteousness, before the union
congregation assembled at the
Methodist church. A few events
Of crime were alluded to, and the
saloon stigma with the evils COM
ing therefrom were vigorously
portrayed to church going oeo-
pie. 1t was a note of warning
and should serve to arouse our
people to a knowledge Of present
conditions and a plan to restore
Mt. Sterling, one Of the most
thriving business cities Of the
South, to correct living and a
means by which the alluring temp
tations Of the saloons and gambl-
ing dens and other places Of vice
be taken from before the present
and coming generations. There
is no better time to begin thar
now and now is the only time al
loted to men. An organization,
public sentiment, a vote and it
will be settled, in our judgment,
on the side of righteousness.
Shall the people act, or become
reticent and Indifferent to words
of warning given by the preacher
and which will be endorsed by
every God loving and God fearing
man in our city.

WHY WITH A PISTOL?

In this issue is an account of the
shooting of Prof. De Moss, Of
Fayette county. To many per-
sons will come the Question: Why
should teacher Of a public school
be carrying a. pistOl-especially
on Sunday afternoon7 We do
aoT know the facts. Probably he
had whipped or corrected a boy
and was expecting an attack by
an irate father. We see no use of
a teacher or even an editor max
ing a walking arsenal Of himself.
Carrying a pistol either indicates
a bully, a coward, or a lawless
man. The probability is that he
will not be arraigned for carrying
concealed deadly weapons:

John Fay Released on $500 Bond.

Last week, when John Fay APP
peared before the County Court on
the charge of maliciously shooting
and woundiDg Lutrelle Fascett,
with intent to kill, application for
bail was made. County Attorney
Thomas objected to bail less than
$4,000 Judge Hazelrigg placed
the amount at $1,000. Failing to
furnish bond Fay was committed
to jail. On Monday the case was
again considered by Judge Hazel
rigg and the bond was reduced to
$500 inasmuch as the condition Of
Mr.. Fascett had so much improved.
p. H. Davis, the saloon keeper,
was accepted as bondsman, he
having made an affidavit that cx-
elusive of his indebtedness he was
worth at least $4,000 Some men
in town, all the names of whom we
do not know, guarantee the pay
ment of said bail, and as pledge
that they will be protected from
loss, certain. collaterals including
diamonds have been deposited in
the Mt. Sterling National Bank.

FARM LIFE FOR ITALIANS.
Baron Planches Advises His Country
men to Leave Cities and
Take Up Plow.

Baron Edmondo Mayer Des
Planches, ambassador from Italy
to the United States, who is max
ing a tour of the southern states,
STOPPED in st. Louis few days
ago, ;sld in the course of an adj
dress advised the Italians who
come to this country to take up
farming.
"The Italian immigrant, fresh
from the shores of Italy, gets into
New York first, because nearly all
the ships enter at that port" said
Baron des Planches. Gle is uned-
ucated, usually, and has but little
money after he has paid his
passage. He begins work imme-
diately. and takes up anything his
hands find to do. Sometimes he
gets. TO blacking boots or push

small and he has little opportu.
nifty of improving his mind. His
children are brought up in the
streets. and they follow in their
fathers footsteps. Occasionally
ar Italian will have enough money
to ga to some other city.
"What | desire is to induce
these Italians in the cities to go
to the country. There laborers
are wanted, especially in the
south. There is great oppor-
tunity for Italians in truck-farm-
ing, fruit raising and general ag-
riculture in the south. Land is
cheap and may be obtained and
paid for in few years. TT i'm
