great deal of interest is taken in these

become too common (?). The candi-

New Superintendent fer Rock
Quarry.

Mr.. Don Kimban, Of Chicago, who
is practical business man and who
has had many years experience in
running crusher plants, has arrived
here and taken charge of the quarry
of Dalton & Marsh Evidently new
blood has been put into the enterprise.
Already several minor changes have
been made by him, and as soon as
few others.are made the plant will be
to the standard. Mr.. B. 81. Libbey,
who has been in charge of the plant
isince the first Of April, has resigned
and left for his home at Hophnsville,
KY, the first Of last week.
The headquarters of the company,
which las been at Hopkinsville, Ky.,
will, in the very near future, be moved
here, making this a local concern
instead of a foreign corporation. The
pay roll now amounts to between
81 200 and 81 500 per month, and as
most of the labor employed is from this
county, fully three-fourths Of this
amount will be spent with the mer-
chants Of our city, which we hope
they will appreciate.
When Mr.. Kimball took charge Of
the plant he informed the men that
he would pay off twice a month, in
stead Of monthly, as heretofore,
thereby doing.away with giving orders
and saving the men a neat little
amount each month. With the ex-
ception of about eight or ten sledgers
they have full force of men at work.

Wednesday. August !, 1906.

It now begins to look as if the cam
paign might be interesting, as probably
all phases of the whiskey question
may be represented. The fact is,
under existing circumstances this
question is forced upon the masses
and seems to be the only principal
issue.
We recognize the great evil of whis-
key ard the necessary yrestrictions that
should be placed over it's traffic,
with the strongest laws possible, re-
ducing its sale as beverage, yet it
should not overshadow and absorb
every other interest in State govern
ment: The Dispatch, it will be re-
membered, advocated a separate bal
lot box "For Liquor or No Liquor"
dominating the question from candi-
dates and allowing them to act in ac-
cordanee with the viii Of the people,.
who would have felt. untrammeled
and free to exercise that right after
they had spoken. AS it is, it will not
be fair result, for many candidates
VIII secure votes from individual
friends, ayerse to their views on the
Whiskey question, but upon merits of.
I the candidate only.
Taxation should be the paramount
issue, since it reaches the rich and
the poor and seems to be increasing
and should have due consideration at
the hands of our legislators.
Our institutions and population are
growing, and possibly require more,
but are not valuations in real estate
increasing too, and necessarily should
reduce the levy and make our taxes
less.
It is Acknowledged we all want good
roads, best educational facilities, etc.,
g but while we discuss these measures
let US do so as men and neighbors,
void of any feeling, but looking to the
best interest of our county and State.

Machinery Not Arrived.

The Good Roads demonstra-
ton has been delayed on account
of the nOnarrival of the machin-
cry. As soon as it reaches here
the work will begin, and it is
hoped that that will not be long
off.
Owing to the failure to raise
the amount first decided on, the
quantity of permanent road has
had to be reduced about one
half. While of course, a longer
stretch of permanent road,
which will be made of shells in
this case, would have been much
preferable for demonstration
work, yet the amount that can
be built with the funds available
is considered sufficiently large
to give a good object lesson in
that kind of road construction.
