EDITOR GRAPHIC
have just read with much inter-
est the article on the first page of
your last issue, and entitled Cheap
er Fuel in the Future"
am glad to see agitation along
this line and If you will recall when
/ first looked over your Valley in
company with yourself, Mr.. Ely
and Mr.. Laughren and learning
that your farmers were paying IL
cents for naptha, | stated that the
most important thing for your farm
ers to do to encourage pumping
and place this method Of irrigation
on a thoroughly practical basis was
to secure cheaper fuel oil.
The heavier grades of distillates,
known as Solar Oil, Kanotex, Oil.
etc.. 37-39 degrees Baume are equal
ly as satisfactory as gasoline and
naptha in engines that are specially
constructed to use this heavier
grade of fuel. With this fuel de-
livered to your farmers at, say g
cents per ga)lcn, you can reduce
your fuel cost for pumping just
one-half.
When | first asked our Company
to consider some real estate loans in
your community and finding the
actual lift Of your water and the
price you are paying for fuel, !
was advised that unless You demon
strated that you could raise profita-
bic crops in your Valley. your cost
for pumping would be more than
your crops would permit.
Now that you are about to secure
a much cheaper fuel oil and having
demonstrated that you can grow
crops very proftably even with -
cent fuel oil, believe you will soon
be able to convince the most care
full investor that your farm values
are stable and above question.
] am therefore hoping that in the
near future ! will be able to induce
our company to loan considera-
bic money on your farms,
Assuring you that am interest
ed In the developments in your
community. ! am very truly yours.

Mayo, Noun
tain Teacher
Has Made the Largest For
tune Ever Made by a
Kentuckian.

The largest fortune that has
ever been made in Kentucky by
n Kentuckian is that Of John G..
Calhoun Mayo, of Paintsville,
johnson county, who is regard
ed as the Midas of the Kentucky
Mountains.
Mayo is one of the wealthiest
men in the country today. His
fortune is estimated at from
SIS, 900 900 to 900, 900, 900 What
ever it is today it is certain that
it will vastly increase in the
next decade or two, as much OF
it is in Kentucky lands rich in
coal and minerals, the develop.
ment of which is Just beginning
Mayo started his career as Il
school teacher in the Kentucky
mountains, and it was with
money saved from his earnings
as a school teacher that he laid
the foundation of his fortune.
He is 46 years old. He was
born in johnson county near
the Pike county line. His
father was n poor farmer. Mayo
recalled what education the
country schools afforded and
fitted himself to be school
teacher.
For many years he taught the
mountain children, going from
log school house TO log school
house. In these travels through
the mountains he saw that the
region was rich in coal. He also
saw a chance to get control Of
these rich lands which would
be a fortune when tho railroad
came and tho coal would be
taken TO market. This chance
came through the purchase of
options.
In 1901 he made his first big
strike when he organized the
Consolidated Coal Co at Balh-
more, and received $3.50. 900
and "A fourth interest for tho
land he bought i'm. Immediate
by after he organized other
companies and made his first
million. With this capital he
CLOSED options on much land
and started more coal mines
which brought AN incessant
stream Di wealth
Mayo makes his home at
Paintsville in mansion that
cost S2oo,oO0 He is loyal to the
mountain country that has
given him such great wealth.
Mayo has recently taken an
active interest in Democratic
politics in Kentucky. and ia
mentioned as a possible United
States Senator. though his
friends deny that he is "A can
didate. When Bradley and
Beckham made their race be
fore the kentucky Legislature.
in 1908, many Democrats who
would not vote for Rcckham
voted for Mayo, and his friends
say that If Beckham had with
drawn in his favor Mayo would
have been elected. Pikeville
