Gold Ore Discovery
Reported Near Harmed
Editor News

Editor News
Harmed, KY, May 20. -
1t has just been reported that a
few days ago some persons were
going through Buffalo Hollow, near
here, and when they we're crossing the
stream, noticed some shining particles
in the water. Making further investi-
cations they found that the sand for
quite a distance around contained a
quantity of the substance. The ground
was then examined and two pieces of
hard substance were found which con-
tanned metal corresponding to that
found in the sand. It has been examined
by several persons who say it is gold.
The persons who found the metal say
it is not far from vein of coal which
has been known to exist for a number
Oh Years, but the exact place is not
know. except by the persons that made
the discovery. All who have examined
the pieces believe it to be the genuine
metal.
A further Investigation is going to be
made as soon az possible by some one
that can tell VIII ,ther or not the gold
exists in paying quantities.
Some years ago s1me metal of SINH
lar kind was found Lear the coal VEIN
but little was thought of 1t. The present
discovery has led many to believe that
gold exists some where nesr there.
At the present writing there is much
talk about the matter. but the parties
will not make their secret known until
they can find out the value of their die
eovery.

DOLLAR WHEAT.

Is the farmer coming into his own?
The Jump in the price Of wheat on the
Chicago Board of Trade and the reports
from throughout the United States and
foreign countries to the effect that a
shortage in this years crop is inevta-
BILE, tend to the belief that the producer
will share in the high prices derived
from this particular cereal, to say the
least. The belief that dollar wheat has
come to stay, and that the sharp advance
quoted in the pit was not merely the
manipulations Of gamblers, is founded
on reliable reports from all the wheat
consuming countries to the effect that
home consumption will exceed the sup
ply, and the fact that countries that
Shave heretofore exported the grain are
now purchasing it to supply home
demand. From Germany, Hungary,
Rumania Bulgargia and Russia reports
Of shortage in the crops are coming to
the United States. That these countries
will be in the market for wheat is prac-
tically assured, which virtually leaves
to the United States the dctatorial
power in the price of the cereal. While
it is possible that some of these countries
may be able to supply the home demand
the only competition to the United States
in the wheat markets of the world will
be Argentina, Canada and British India
And it may develop that the United
States will be unable to export any of
her crop. Certain it is that what is left
over and above that which is needed for
home consumption will be very limited.
Throughout the great wheat belts untold
injury has been done by tie backward
season and the deadly bug.
That the farmer with a healthy wheat
patch is "in the swim is very evident
And while it is claimed by some author
tiles that he will realize as high as
SIPS, and possibly $3.50, per bushel
for his crop, it is safe to say that if he
realizes a dollar, and margin over for
good measure, he will be satisfied.
And present indications are that ne
will be satisfied

II. S. OLE. US. POLITICS.

The nomination of DR.. P. w. Foote for
representative by the Democrats in con-
vention at Hardinsburg Saturday is an
attempt to drag the American Society Of
Equity of Breckenridge county into poll
tics. That this is the program outlined
by the men who dominated the conven-
ton Saturday is plainly evident.
The News does not desire to dictate to
any man or party, nor does it attempt to
say to the American Society Of Equity
or the recognized leader of that organi-
cation in this county that they are not
capable Of managing their own affairs,
but having at heart the welfare Of this
society of tobacco growers, it does wish
to offer few suggestions.
DR.. Foote is a strong farmers man
and has taken an active interest in the
American Society Of Equity to the ex-
tent that he is recognized as leader in
that organization. In view of this fact
should he become the candidate Of any
political partyP Would not his very
prominence in the tobacco growers or
ganization react to their hurt the mo
ment he becomes the standard bearer Of
any political party?
A house divided against itself will
surely tumble down, and likewise any
organization that is dragged into politics
must eventually come to an inglorious
end. The American Society Of Equity
was organized independent of politics;
it has progressed thus far without
aligning itself with any party, Good
men Of all parties are leaders in the or
ganization. Thus, it can plainly be
seen what the outcome will be when the
leaders are persuaded by political par
ty to become its standard bearers merely
for the prestige the party would get 1t
would mean that in the heat Of polti-
cal campaign utterances would be made
upon which men working to the same enc
in the tobacco organization but Of oppo-
site political faith would disagree, the
leader would be denounced by one ele-
ment. while another element would take
issue with their brethren in the same
cause, strife and dissension would be-
come rank within the party and the inev'
table result would be a collapse Of the
organization.
The News believes that DR.. Foote
could best serve the interests Of the A.
! S. of E. organization, for whose welfare
he has so diligently labored, by declining
the nomination rendered him Saturday.
No man can serve two masters accepta-
bly,. and should the doctor become a can
didate he must of necessity slight the
work so badly needed in the farmers
organization and for which he is so well
fitted.
