MANUFACTURERS
EDITION OF THE
EVENING sun
Is Accusing Great Interest
Among Progressive Loyal
Citizens.
Will be An Epitome Of the VAR
iOus Resources.
GROWING DAILY IN VOLUME

Much interest is being evidenced
In the forthcoming Progressive Padu-
cah edition of The Paducala sun
which will be published in the near
future and will be an epitome of the
various resources OF the city and its
environments. The work will cover
the industrial, financial, commercial
and professional fields.
All general articles will be author
itative and written by trained journ-
falists of metropolitan experience. and
therefore we'll adapted to handle the
subjects. Views of public buildings,
parks, boulevards, manufactures and
commercial scenes will be interspers-
ed throughout, and also photos of the
men who have been most prominent
in the upbuilding of the city.
The past and present local achieve
ments of city will be expatiated on
and an endeavor made to substantiate
a bright and prosperous promise for
the future of
Paducah as a Manufacturing Center.
Its splendid location, network OF
railroads, superb waterways and con-
sequent shipping facilities. cheap fuel
and available sites for factories will
be presented as plausible and sub
stantial invitations for the invest
ment of capital and the location OF
additional industries. Paducah is, in
every sense OF the term, manufact-
uring and jobbing center and these
interests must be fostered and in
creased to insure her ultimate pre-
eminence IN the central west. A pri-
mary factor in Padneah's advance
ment Is her.
Superb Banking interests
which stand ready to aid In all legiti-
mate enterprises. The banks of Pa
ducah have passed unecathed through
the various panics which have beset
the country and sapped the founda-
ton of banks Of far greater financial
capitalization. To illustrate, banks in
Louisville, Nashville and CHATTANOOGA
were forced to the wall during the
panic of 1898, while every bank In
Paducah sustained it's credit and con-
tinued its operations. This illustrates
the sound and conservative methods
employed by Paducah bankers, who
are willing to make loans in any
amount covered by good security to
legitimate business interests directed
by responsible parties. The few in
dustries which have removed from
Paducah after a brief occupancy in
no way detract from this city's de-
STABILITY as a manufacturing site.
None of these have been of a charac-
ter to make their operations success
full and the many big concerns. many
of which are Of national reputation,
which will be reviewed in the Pro-
gressive Paducah edition, will be ac-
cepted as the true criterion of Padu-
cabs greatness and prosperity. Every
man, firm or corporation, willing 10
do their utmost TO advance Paducah
and Paducah property and interests.
should reserve space in this valuable
publication.

Washington. ID. c., March 16.-
Following Is the message President

session to enable II to give immediate
consideration to the revision OF the
DiDgley tariff act. Conditions affect
ing production. manufacture and
business have so changed IN the last
twelve years as TO require a read

change In import duties always
causes a halt IN business because Of
uncertainty as TO what changes will
be made and their effect. Therefore
u Is OF the highest importance that
the new bill be passed with as much
speed as consistent with thorough
consideration. For these reasons

MAY DISTRIBUTE
SEYENTH-EIGHTH
GRADE OF SCHOOL
School Trustees Think of Re-
lieving Congestion Of Wash
iDgt0n Building.
Will Do Away With Depart
ment Work.
THE PRINCIPALS WILL REMAIN

No changes in the principals OF the
public schools are anticipated by the
members OF the committee on teach
ers. and II Is practically certain that
all OF the principals WIN be reelected
to their positions The committee
on teachers will act in cooperation
with Superintendent J. A. Carnagey
before a report will be made to the
school board at the regular meeting
in April, when the principals will be
|elected. The teachers will be elected
at the regular meeting in May.
Prof. VI. E. Lyon. principal Of the
Franklin school, has passed an exam
nation in the civil service for posi-
ton as principal in the Philippine is
land at an advanced salary, but II is
thought that he will remain in Padu-
cab as the schol trustees have no in
chnation to give him up. Mr.. A. NJ.
Ragsdale, principal Of the Longfellow
building. has been considering enter
ing seminary for further study. but
Il Is probable that he will teach an
other year. The other principals who
are scheduled for reelection are: w
H. Sugg. principal OF the High school
J. NJ. Calvin. principal of the Lee
school; II. l.. Donovan. of the Whit
tier building; J. T. Ross, OF the JEFF
ferson school, and Miss Emma Nor
gan. of the Mckinley building. All
OF the principals are considered APP
pllcants unless notice is given other
wise.
May Scatter Grades.
II Is also probable that the plan OF
scattering the seventh grade over the
city may be adopted again. and posi-
bly, the eighth grade. President Hills
and Trustees Ferguson and Kelly
have been visiting the school build
ings with a view OF ascertaining Just
what is needed. At each OF the outer
school buildings there is vacant.
room. while the High school is crowd
ed to overlooking, because of the CEN
trallzlng of the seventh and eighth
grade pupils.
One obstacle to the plan is the
weak financial condition of the board
To scatter the seventh and eighth
grades would mean the employment
of several additional teachers, and the
board has its hands full to tide over
the schools with the least possible
expense. The trustees recognize that
IL is difficult for the children from
Merchandising and Rowlandtown to
attend the Washington school in or
der to attend the seventh and eighth
grades. and If possible intend to elm
mate the crowded condition at the
High school building.
Distributing the seventh and eighth
grades will do away with the depart
mental system. At present pupils
In these two grades are taught by
special teachers for each study, as in
the High school. Once before this
change was contemplated but men,
bers OF the alumni and patrons found
children enjoyed the departmental
work so much that they protested
and averted the change.
The distributing of the grades
would mean a raise In salary of abou.
IS to each principal. in addition to
the expense OF the employment OF
several additional teachers.
