burning dry, well matured corncobs In

for burning charcoal Is to make q hole

shown in the drawing.
Start fire in the bottom, and to
this add cobs until the pit Is full, being

permit drawing Of the fire from the
bottom to the top Of the pit When
filed, Immediately cover over with
heavy sheet iron or other noncombusti.

allow the cobs to burn to ashes instead

The Breckenridge news., 1906-06-27

Our friend. Mr. Dodson of Fiymire'
is under a very wrong impression as
10 the standing of Ben johnson on the
whisky question. Mr.. Dodson, while
accusing Johnson of being whisky
man, may in his own light, be sincere
in his charges, but we regret to say
that Mr.. Dodson KNOWS not whereof
he speaks when he accuses Ben John
son of standing for or supporting the
interests OF whisky. 1t is true that
johnson tried to defeat the rectlhers
tax passed by the last General Assemb-
~ but he did this not because he favor
eu the whisky man, not because he de-
sired to promote the traffic in anyway
but because he saw nothing in the
rectifier's tax but loss to the state. The
question OF temperance did not come
up on either side in the consideration
or the rectltier's tax. It was purely a
matter OF revenue fcI the state. Those
who favored the tax thought, nc
doubt, that more money would fall &c
the state by levy ing a rec.iieI' s taS
tnan the old way, those who opposed
the tax believed tn g old way the bettei
scourse OF revenue. The moving Of
several large rectifers from Kentuc
Ky justifies Mr.. Johnson in his stand
Ben johnson stand for the county
Unit bill and for the bill prohibiting
the shipment of whiskey into loca
option districts is evidence of hisviewI
about the liquor business. As for him
self ne has voted for local option all o.
his life and has never taken a drinl
Of whisky. In view of these thing
it seems to us it would be better fo
Mr.. Dodson to uphold Ben johnson
rather than try to down him on pre-
tense of johnson being in league will
the whisky interests.
