of more than 20 years in the
Campbellsville depot, as agents
for the company. Their retire
ment is gratifying to many of
their friends in this part of the
country who have never truly
appreciated the rigid business
methods that characterized their
agency. That they havs been
faithful to every trust with their
company cannot be questioned;
that they asked no concessions,
nor gave none to the patrons of
that depot is also a fact. They
were strictly business, and that
method failed to be the popular
one with many in this part OF
the country, and received many
growls and criticisms. Now it is
up to their successor to hew to
the line and receive grumbles
and censures, or to show that
painstaking effort that attracts
and brings good will and pleas
ant dealing. Here's hoping that
Campbellsville depot will contain
more of the agreeable feat

Mr.. S. F. White, who has been
connected with the News for
more than year, and who has
been doing splendid work in
making it's local columns inter-
esting to it's many readers for
the last six months, rendered
his resignation, and accepted the
position of deputy postmaster in
the Columbia office. Mr.. White
filled his position with the News
in a most satisfactory manner,
and we do not have doubt that
he will measure up to the full re-
quirements of his new position,
giving entire satisfaction to the
many patrons of the office.
While we regret to lose his serv-
ices and interest in the welfare
OF the News, yet we heartily en-
dorse his promotion. Mr.. White
is Republican, and has always
manifested a keen interest in
the welfare Of his party and his
promotion is but a just recogni-
ton of his services, and his abil-
ity to occupy responsible and
profitable position in the service
of the Federal Government.

Again J. T. Graves, of Allan
ia, speaks out. This time he
points out Bryan and Roosevelt
as the two greatest men in the
world. He predicts that word
from either of them would make
a president out of the other. AS
Stunning this to be true, it ap-
pears to us that Roosevelt could
help his country more by speak
ing, than he has accomplished in
all the time past.

No word has come from Pittsburg as
to the result of the meeting of the twen-

matter Of putting up a hundred stamp

that the mill will be put up. and that
the site will be at Millers.
Midway is still taking out the ore
from the eight hundred level, where the
strike was made last week. n the
ledge has widened out to fifteen feet,
with some width yet to 90. The ore
Is considered to be a very high milling
grade.
Work on Golden Anchor will be re-

STRIKE
AT ROUND MT.

Another tungsten strike has been re-
ported in the Round Mountain district.
On the Blue Bird claim Of the Round
Mountain Philadelphia Mining company
a number of rich tungsten ~stringers
have been discovered. The Philadelphia
property Is adjacent to the Round Noun
tain Monster group on which the recent
wonderful tungsten strike was made
and the surface showing Is very similar
on the two properties.
The strike on the Blue Bird was made
while prospecting the ground for gold
values. There Is a vein on the property
which has been traced a distance of
about 800 feet and which gives very
good paintings of free gold. More work
will be lone on the Philadelphia with a
view to developing the tungsten string
ers and in the meantime a force of
men will be put to work on the gold
ledge.
On the Mushett & Chapman lease on
the Daisy a four-foot vein Of ore run
ming better than 500 has been struck
in a new shaft west of the old incline.
The ore body was struck at a depth of
fifteen feet and the walls are very well
defined.
An ore bin has been erected on this
lease and the Mushett G. Chapman mill
IL now working on ore already In the
dump. Present Indications are that the
Mushett & Chapman lease may even ex-
Gel the famous Munholland lease. This
latter lease is now being worked by Cap
tain Geo. W. Thatcher and Is taking out
milling ore as is also the Luther Morgan
lease on the Daisy.
The Round Mountain Mohawk Mining
company began operations this week on
its property. A force of men was put to
work sinking in the main working shaft,
which is now down a distance OF so feet.
Seventeen feet of his is already In
formation and it is the intention of the
management to sink the main shaft at
least to the 100-foot level before cross
cutting.
On the property OF the Round Noun
tain Homestake company work Is going
forward at a pleasing rate. Several new
stringers panning good values of free
gold have been encountered. The new
within has been installed and the COM
pany is now making arrangements for a
power hoist with the intention OF sink
ing to III 5OO-foot level If necessary

SCRAP RUINS OF FRISCO.
Will Be Manufactured Into New Iron and Steel by Capitalists Or-
 ganiZed For That Purpose.

San Francisco, Jan. 11.-Ar- engagements were completed by cap italists here today for the con- struction of large plant which will be operated for several years with iron and steel scrap from the ruins of the city. The entire equip ment for the plant has been pur- chased in Pittsburg. The plant will be known as the Great Vest ern rolling mills and will be To- cated at Rodeo, on the ocean front, where the company has secured one hundred acres of land. It is be- lieved that the scrap secured from the ruins of the city will run the muck mill for ten years, but ar engagements are being made to take over the scrap supply of the many railroads having terminals in the city in order to secure an unlim- ited supply of raw material.

ADVICE IS VERY CHEAP.

The Arkansas Democrat very truly declares that advice is the cheapest thing that can be given in this world and often the least welcome.
 Most people are always very willing to unload themselves of great quanu- ties of advice, but they have most independent way of scorning the ad- vice offered by others.
 In this matter it is considered by them to be far more blessed to give than to receive, and they really ob- serve this good old maxim, whereas It is preached but not practiced where more valuable commodities are con- cerned.
 Any one can give advice, from the bootblack who shines Rockefeller's shoes and is glad to get dime, down to Rockefeller himself, who can give twenty millions to university and not miss meal.
 There is enough gratuitous advice published daily in the American press to transform the politics, sociology, statecraft and private life of the world, in a day-if it were needed. The pulpit is paid salary to give l advice, and while the pew recognizes the soundness of the advice and the 1 wisdom of the advisers, it seldom makes any change in it's course and forgets the advice as soon as the church doors are closed-that is, many of the pew-holders do.
 The same is often true of the advice given by vthe press in matters politi- cal, social, moral and otherwise. These are stern facts, rude facts, in- deed, not pessimistic, but facts prov en by the very continuance of the wholesale giving of advice. And mores the pity.
 It is not so much the fault of those who give the advice as of those who should profit by it, although in some instances those who give advice most freely come under suspicion of insin- cerity.
 The drunkard who advises his friends to "abhor the flowing bowl" and then lands in the gutter, carries no weight with his advice, although his example may be effective.
 In the same way the advice of the rich to the improvident, or the unfor tunate, showing the ease with which fortunes may be accumulated, has suspicion of patronizing superiority that carries little weight.
 The advice is good, excellent A wiser man then he once said that "A soft answer turneth away wrath" and an employe knows that to overlook or gently chide an error produces better results than abuse and harshness.
 But people look more to the adviser than the advice, as a rule.

MORALS IN PITTSBURG.

Some of "Carnegie's boys who have cut high jinks in Pittsburs and elsewhere with the money that has flowed into their pockets through the hoppers of the steel trust. are now reaping the whlrl- wind of their own sowing. Of all those young men who prospered through the friendship of the patron saint of Pittsburg, William Ellis Corey was the most success ful and paradoXically, the most un- happy. With all his bulging bank account MT. Corey never made the social impression either in Pitts burg or New York that had been the dream of his youth. Of his domestic misfortunes enough has been said. That he has done as much as any other Pittsburger to bring that city into worldwide ridicule and contempt sums up his private record to date.
 The announcement is made, ac- cording to the Kansas City Journal that Corey is disgusted because of the newspaper notoriety which his conduct has brought upon him. It is reported that his disposition has changed and that now instead of be- ing a "prince of good fellows he is sour and morose. Not even his approaching marriage with Mabelle Gilman, the actress, has stirred him to a decent demeanor toward his former friends and associates. He seems to be tired of his notoriety, his job, and the world generally. 1t is even reported that he con- templates removing to Europe to live where he will not be bounded by the press of his native land. At any rate he will probably go on prolonged cruise, after his marriage in the hope that when he returns to America he will have been for gotten
 The Corey scandal is only one of many that have blackened Pittsburg in the eyes of the world, and it is said that the decent element" of the Smoky city is taking steps to eliminate some of these trouble makers. 4e Pittsburg chamber of commerce, as a beginning in the cam paign for rejuvenating municipal reputation, has started to muzzlo the local press. It may or may not be an easier task to stop the chronicling of the antics of the city's millionaires than to stop the antics themselves. An edict of the chamber esays that "respectabl Pittsburgers, when in New York. are almost ashamed to acknowledge that they live in Pittsburg, just be- cause of the scandals, the divorces. the breach of promise suits and what not that savor of the sensa- tional." Truly some of these things have "savored of the sensational" to the outrage of all sense of de- cency. But, while the Pittsbnrs chamber bears down on the "sea- rational" element, possibly tho real secret of this sudden regeneration of attitude appears in the follow
