STORY OF CHURCH NAME
THE ORIGIN FORGOTTEN
kennedy's Chapel at Olive Hill This
County Derived the Title From
John Kennedy who Gave the Ground
and Who Helped in Building.

Editor alladium:-Quite often
notice in the Palladium some referen-
&C to the "Olive Hill church" at Olive
Hill, this county. | wonder what has
become of the rightful name of that
church, "Kennedy's Chapel?" At a
time when there was no church in
that neighborhood, the Methodists
were holding their services in a log
school house. John Kennedy gave
an acre of ground for church edifice,
assisted to erect the structure and in
addition gave an acre of ground for
a cemetery. The church was given
the name of Kennedys Chapel, in hon
or of the donor Of the ground. The
ground was decided to the church or
ganization and is recorded in the
county as Kenedy's Chapel. Olive
Hill derived it's name from Oliver
Sharon one of the first postmaster S
of that settlement, who was also a
store keeper, but the church there has
never rightfully been called Olive Hill
church and to the writer it seems that
the good people of that community
should see to it that the name Ken
nedy's Chapel is preserved.
A former Olive Hill Resident.

century ago Anthony Trollope, who

century ago Anthony Trollope, who
adulated all the women of his fiction,
and who showed himself capable of
approaching equally the daring initia-
tive OF the American girl and the shy
passiveness of the British maiden,
published his novel, The. Dukes
Children" of which one of the motives
was the jealousy of the English lady
for the American. The hero in that
novel was Marquis by courtesy, be-
ing the son of living Duke. Consider
ing the extent to which the conquest
of the British Peerage has since been
effected by the American girl, English
women would be more than human, at
least more than feminine, If they did
not resent it and view the invaders
with suspicion bordering on hostil-
ity. So there is some magnanimity
as well as much perspicacity in the
admission of so authentical an organ
of British society as The London
Times concerning Lady Curzon, that
she was d typically American girl,
but also one of the highest examples
of that ever brilliant and infinitely
variable type"

SUNDAY, JULY %, 1906.
LADY CURZCN.

Americans ought to be particularly
pleased says the New York Times
with the sympathetic comments of the
London press upon the death of Lady
Curzon. The tone of those comments
Is not so easily attained as an Ameri-
can might suppose. This fact makes
the ungrudging character of the tri-
butes all the more significant, and all
the more welcome.
The fact is that there has been, and
could not help being, a jealousy on the
part of the British maiden against the
American girl who so frequently has
been coming in and carrying off the
matrimonial prizes of the island. This
Is no new thing. A quarter of a

a considerable part of which was in
silver mining. besides s50,0oO, 900 in
enterprises dependent upon the silver
mining industry. With an unstable
currency our railroad investment was
a losing one. and many of the other
enterprises in which we were interest
ed depended for their success upon
the prosperity of the railroads. The
railroads in turn depended upon the
silver industry for a large part of
their revenue. 1t was not an easy
knot to unite. 1t meant changing the
laws on taxation and mining in order
TO compensate the silver-mining indus
try to some extent for the losses it
would suffer, which meant changing
many other laws, rearrangipg the rev.
enues of the country, and adequately
protecting other business interests.
In spite of great pressure which
was brought to bear upon President
Diaz for two years before the change
was made, he waited until the time
was just ripe. When it was made, so
carefully had everything been planned
that not modification in the new
laws which then went into effect has
been necessary. 1t is that the rise in
the price of silver bullion soon after
the change was made has been greatly
in Mexico's favor. but it was not re-
sponsible for the success of the re-
form.
Like some Eastern countries. Mex
leo adopted a gold standard only nom
inally. At first there was no gold in
the treasury or in circulation. But
there is no longer lack of concrete
evidence that the gold standard is
real. Within a few months from the
date of the monetary change, without
any artificial means having been en-
ployed, there was more gold coin In
circulation in the larger cities of Mex
leo than in most of the cities of the
United States. The monetary anti
was declared to be a peso consisting
| of seventy-five centigrams Of pure
gold. The silver peso, containing
| 24.43SS grams of pure silver and
enough copper alloy to bring the total
weight up to 27.073 grams, is the legal
equivalent of the gold peso, thus fixing
the ratio between gold and silver at
silver peso equivalent in value to fifty
cents, American currency. The free
coinage of silver was stopped" 5

AN INTERESTING ARTICLE
THE CURRENT NUMBER OF APP
PLEToN'S MAGAZINE CARRIES
THE CONTRIBUTION - SOME
SURPRISING FACTS ARE SHOWN

Edward NJ. Conley, of Richmond,
who is now here for brief sojourn,
contributes an article to Appleton S
Magazine for August. which gives an
excellent resume of Mexico's first
year on a gold financial basis. Mr..
Conley, as generally is known among
his Richmond friends, served several
years as vice and deputy consul gen
eral of the United States at the City
of Mexico, hence his intimate know
ledge OF governmental affairs of that
country. Mr.. Conley's contribution to
the current issue Of Appleton's is of
unusual interest and it furnishes some
information that to the average stu
dent Of finance will be surprising, des-
pite the close proximity of Mexico,
and the apparent easy opportunity
for investigation.
In part Mr.. Conley says:
"Mexico's first year on gold basis,
which was completed on May 1, has
been the most prosperous in the his
tory of the country. Fear that the
change might cause a temporary I'M
settling of business and a period of
stagnation while a REIMBURSEMENT was
taking place proved groundless. 1t
caused no appreciate shock. Invest
ments of foreign capital, which had
practically stopped for two years prior
to the change in anticipation OF it,
were at once resumed on a larger
scale than before, and native capital
which had also been holding back to
some extent, was quickly released.
The success of the monetary
change was another triumph for Mexi.
cos great president and his able finan,
ce minister, Jose Yves Limantour
1t was we'll lrkown for several years
that it would have to be made sooner
or later, but the difficulty of making
it without disturbing the financial
equilibrium of the country is not easily
appre ciated~ by one not familiar with
business conditions in Mexico. Her
silver mines were. and always have
been, her chief source of wealth. Fol
her to demonetiZe silver meant to risk
seriously injuring the silver-minine
industry, important enough in itself
but more than that almost every line
of business in the republic, through
