 CONCERNING CONSOLIDATED COP

 MATCHMAKERe.
 Consolidated Copper at no. The day after his talk with Uncle Peter, Perciyal through three different bro kers gave orders to buy 10000 shares.
 T tried te give Relpin an order for 5000 shares over the telephone" he said to Uncle Peter. but they used to those fifty and a hundred th. and dellar pikers down in tha. He oor- hood. He seemed to think Iw~ h. ing him. When tn'.' hi-r ! .,=. and was ready to take practically all he could buy for the next few weeks or so, I think he fell oyer in tho booth and had to be helped out"
 Orders for 10000 more shares in 1000 share lots during the next three weeks sent the stock to 115. Yet wise men in the street seemed to fear the stock. They were waiting cautiously for more definite leadings. The plung- ing of Zines made rather sensation, and when 1t became known that his holdings were large and growing al- most daily larger, the waning confi- dence of a speculator here and there would be revived. s
 At 115 the stock rested again, with few sales recorded. A certain few of the elect regarded this calm as omin- ous. It was half believed by others that the manipulations of the inner ring would presently advance the stock to sensational figure, and that the reckless young man from Montana might be acting upon information of as definite character. But among the veteran spectators the feeling was conservative. Before buying they pre- ferred to await some sign that the ad- vance had actually begun. The, con- sArvatives were mostly the bald old fellows Among the illusions that rarely survive a mans hair in Wall street is the one that sure things" gre necessarily sure.
 Percival watched Consolidated Cop per go back to no, and bought again 10000 shares. The price went up two points the day after his orders

In spite of repeated denials
contained in press dispatches
from Washington, The Herald
has information from what is
believed to be an authoritative
source that Senator j. C. S.
Blackburn will be the anti-ad-
ministration candidate for Gov
ernor. It is learned that several
members of the Kentucky del
egation lns Congress held a con-
ference in Washington Wednes-
day, and agreed to lend their
support and influence to Senator
Blackburn in the event that he
becomes a candidate.
While Senator Blackburn has

A WARNING NOTE.

The question with the Democ-
racy Of Eleventh district is not
"Who can beat Edwards for Con-
gress," or " Who will serve best
to further split the Republican
party in the district" The game
Of splitting and demoralizing par
ties is attended with danger to
the "splitters."
For a period Of many years il
has devolved upon the Democrats
Of the Kentucky mountains to
save their party from defeat in
State elections. They have stood
together like a wall of adamant,
putting away all temptations and

resisting all Establishments and
bribes, holding in their hands at
all times the fate of their party
in the midst of all it's great bat
ties of the past.
Conditions have not changed.
Although the Republican party of
the mountain district is in sore
straits, split into factions over
the one question of Federal ap-
pointment, NOT ONE VOTE WILL
BE MISSING AT THE NEXT STATE
ELECTION.
Let no Democart of the Elev-
enth district be deceived in par
ticipation in the coming Republi-
can struggle for nomination for
Congress.
The aligned mountain Democ-
racy is the reserve force of Ken
lucky Democracy. It has never
treated with the enemy. It has
counted noses in many a memor-
able and decisive battle for the
principles of Democracy in State
government and every mother
son of them was found at his
post of duty. Now, of all times
and seasons, is it important that
Democrats of the highlands keep
out of the enemy's camp.
Bats are being thrown out to
Democrats here and there; debts
of an unknown quantity and of
doubtful value are now and then
contracted by Democrats; some
of them are around the camp fires
of the enemy in fancied securi-
ty. Get you to your tents, Dem
ocrats, and build We your
own camp fires, for a real
battle not a sham fight, is not
far hence. Somerset Journal.

PUT IT DOWN.

For years there has existed,
for some unaccountable reason,
an undercurrent of "hard feel
ingS" among a certain class of
citizens in the country districts
towards the county seat and her
business interests. Just why
this unfortunate state of feeling
should exist is hard to explain,
but it crops out every now and
them: Whenever there is an op-
portunity to knock" against the
town, there can always be found
a few misguided citizens from
the rural districts who are ever
ready to seize it. This is all
wrong and should not be encour-
aged. Between Springfield and
the country districts of the coun-
ty nothing but the kindliest of
feelings should prevail. The
town is dependent on the country
and to a great extent the coun-
try is dependent on the town.
That which is of benefit to the
one, is Of like benefit to the 9th
er. Each has it's particular office
to fill, and there is no occasion
for any jealousy between the
country interests and the town
interests. Springfield Leader.
The Adair County news., 1906-06-06

In everyday life we meet many
people who are always ready to
find fault with the actions of
their fellow men. It is an easy
matter for almost anyone to con-
denim the doings Of others, and
one does not need an extraordi-
nary amount Of brains to do so;
yet it seems to be practically i'm
possible for those belonging to
this class of critics to do better
themselves. Criticism consists
not in finding fault, or censuring
and condemning deeds, but in
being able to discuss them fairly
and intelligently. but it will re,
lieve the Sheriffs of a good deal
Of work and worry.

said that he is not a candidate
for Governor he has never said
that he would not yield to the
wishes of his friends, and make
the race if they so desired. On
the contrary he said on one occa-
sion that he would do the bid
ding of his friends, and if they
thought that he was the logical
candidate to oppose Judge Hager
and the machine he would abide
by their decision.
It is known that Senator Black
burn and Senator McCreary were
anxious to have Congressman
Ollie James make the race against
Judge Hager, and they have not
yet given up all hope of persuad-
ing the big Congressman from
the First district to enter the
race. Senator Blackburn would
only be too glad to get out of the
way of Mr.. James, but the lat
ter seems to be content to re-
main a member of the House of
Representatives. It is in the
event that Mr.. James positively
refuses to make the race that
Senator Blackburn will consent
to become a candidate.
WANTS MACHINE DEFEATED.
Only recently Senator Black
burn told one of his warmest
supporters, who was urging him
to make the race for Governor,
that he would much prefer retir-
ing to his home in Woodford
county after his term as Senator
had expired. He said at the time
that he believed it to be the best
interests of the Democratic party
that the machine candidate be
defeated, but that he thought a
younger man could better accom-
plish the overthrow of the Ma
chine. 1t was then that he was
told that the mention of his pro-
bable candidacy had been re-
ceived with favor by Democrats
in all parts of Kentucky, and he
remarked that if he was the
choice of the opponents of the
machine and the people wanted
him to be a candidate he would
make the race for Governor.
Urey Woodson, Secretary of
the Democratic National Com
who left here ten days
ago, ostensibly to spend a month
in California, is now in Washing
ton. He is one of the anti-ad-
misistration leaders, and it is
said that the object of his visit
in Washington at this time is to
report to Senator Blackburn the
condition of political affairs in
Kentucky and urge him to run
for Governor. Mr. Woodson orig
lnal choice for Governor, like
others of the opposition leaders,
is Congressman Ollie James but
with Mr.. James out of the way
he is said to favor Senator Black
burn, who he believes could de-
feat Judge Hager for the NOM
ination. Louisville Herald.
A WARNING NOTE.
The Adair County news., 1906-06-06
The INFLUENCE OF HOME.

s'Mid pleasures and palaces,
Though we may roam;
Be it ever so humble,
There's no place like home"
Truer lines than these never
came from the pen of man, but
how many of us have the proper
conception of home. Are our
homes merely staying places or
do the individual members Of the
family cooperate in an effort to
make this earthly dwelling place
of ours foretaste of the world
beyond the grave. There are
far too many homes that are un-
happy because the occupants do
not study each others welfare
and happiness. Each think that
the other should relinquish all
privileges for them. Nothing
but misery can: come from such
erroneous ideas, and to correct
these mistakes we should prac-
tice self abnegation and cultivate
a spirit of mutual forbearance.
Parents should endeavor to make
home as attractive as possible to
the children thatNthey may not
be in haste to1depart from the
scenes of their youthful gambols
until thoroughly prepared to cope
with the activeT duties of life.
Youth is a period of character
formation and very few children
throw off the shackles of their
environment and rise from OBJ
security by their own efforts.
The pulpit, press and school are
three poten factors in awakening
the mind to a conception of high
ideals, but none of them have
such weight as is produced by
the home. If home influence is
properly exerted, it has the pow
er of awakening the most noble
aspirations to which the human
mind is subject. The downward
path which is trodden by many
of the brightest, should be a
warning to those who have i'm
maculate minds under their care.
Train up a child in the right
path and he will not depart from
it," is a trite saying, but is as
true to-day as ever. A true
Christian home where each men,
Der of the family works together
in harmony and love for the gen.
eral good, is the most beautiful
picture imaginable. Such a
home is indeed shut out from the
world of turmoil and strife and
is an earthly paradise. Many
times has the memory of such a
home brought back the wander
ing prodigal from the very brink
of the yawning chasms of eter-
nal ruin. Even though his hands
are stepped in guilt and his heart
hardened in sin, the tide of
memory will recall to his way
ward heart a recollection of for
mer happiness with great force
and such an influence as eternity
alone can measure. -Ex.
