Washington. d. c. May H.
During a speech on the farmers
free list bill" Representative
Focht OF Pennsylvania, disclosed
an item of news which should be
of great interest to every Amer
lean Manufacturer who is desir-
Gus of securing foreign trade.
According to Mr.. Focht's in
formation the State Department
has endorsed a project for plac-
ing on file in Every American
Consulate in The five continents
of the world a complete card in
dex catalogue of American made
goods. Any manufacturer can
have his catalogue briefed and
translated into the language of
the country in which the consul
ate is located. The pan is, pract-
ically, to place a directory OF
American products where il will
always be available to the foreign
buyer, and to make that direct
DRY complete and always up to
date and easily accessible to any
one interested.
This is in line with the work of
the Bureau of Manufactures of
the departmental Commerce and
Labor which has for several years
kept a record of all enquiries for
American goods received by the
Corsuls of the U. S. But there
hasbeen universal complaint
from those officials of the lack of
cataloges and sales lists in Ian
guage understood by the enquir-
ers.
Mr.. FOcht declared it is as his
firm belief that a plan of this
character, designed to bring the
state department into closer rela-
tons with the business interests
of the country, will result in an
immediate increase in our foreign
Commerce which will eventually
add untold millions to the bal
ance Of trade in favor of the L.
nited States.

Love, amid the other gra-
ces in this world, is like cathe-
dral tower, which begins on the
earth, and at first is surrounded
by the other parts Of the struct-
ure. But at length, rising above
buttressed walls, and arch, and
parapet, and pinpacle, it shoots
spirelike many a foot right into
the air SO high that the huge
cross on its summit CLOVIS ike a
spark in the morning light, and
shines like a star in the ening
sky, when the rest of the pile is
enveloped in darkness. So love,
here. is surrounded by the other
graces, and divides the honors
with them; but they will have
felt the wrap of night and of
darkness, where it will shine
luminous against the sky OF
eternity. Henry Ward Beecher.

Our sentiments are well eX'

from the Benton paper.
Pad roads cheaper land; they

stock; they encourage the use of
rickety old vehicles; they keep
down local pride, county pride
and individual pride. They en-

TOBACCO TIDINGS.

BY r. F. v hEELER

In all consciousness of rectitude

dence of my power to instruct,
| | venture to night in the utmost
seriousness to, in pleasant terms,
address those Of my farmer
friends who have hitherto refus-

Self-confidence, and not self

That article was written by an
Englishman, published in an Eng
lish Journal for the benefit and
edification of Englishmen.
Wherefore it is safe to assume
the article referred to is in the
nature Of a confidential commun-
ication from one business part
ner to anothe', and therefore
characterized by the slncerest
veraeity.
And the significant importance
of the article to the tobacco
growers of Kentucky arises from
the fact that, in a commercial
sense, these English partners a e
the implacible enemies of the
farmers Of Kentucky,
These same English partners,
by shrewd and INSCRIPTIONS

and millions of dollars.
The present generation of Ken

cause of the merciless exactions

non-poolers to the article in ques-
ton, which reproduce for the
especial benefit of non-pooling
farmers.
Let the reader note what the
writer says about the powerful
assoc alton in the States.
English manufactures" the
writer says in effect, need not
hope to buy American tobacco
cheaper so long as the associations
hold together" Thereby point
ing out that tobacco will go low
er if the association lay down.
Here is the article:
THE LEAF MARKET.
There has been an exceedingly
quiet time experienced on our
markets since last spring. All
the business that was negotiated
was in most modest quantities.
AS the present is the most
critical time, one can not blame
users for operating with all the
caution possible. they were al
ways timorous and always look
ing ahead in the home of down.
ward movement. Of course when
any thing did occur to lower the
range OF values ruling, present
purchases would look dear, and
there would be much sorrow.
But | am convinced that there is
absolutely no foundation upon
which it is possible to base a hope
for the reduction. Every thing
on the othe. side indicates that
prices at least maintained, even
if an improvement has not been
recorded. We are hoping that
the signatures to the petition to
the chancellor may be successful
in convincing him that the addit-
ional impost for which he is re-
sponsible has had a most DANA
ging effect upon the trade of the
Independent manu- factories. Such
a heavy tax must have proved a
serious matter a few years ago
when leaf was at ordinary prices
but to increase it to such an ex-
tent with leaf at the abnormally
high price it is, must have been
done in absolute Ignorance of ex-
listing conditions.
Surely if il were proved to the
chancellor tina. the e were pow
erful associations in the states
formed for the purpose of con-
trolling the supply of leaf, and
only selling at any price they
cared to ask, he would realize |
what very unfavorable conditions |,
the independent manufacturers
were working under. and as ne is
powerless to do anything towards
easing the situation on the other
side, he could adjust the duty
here, which could be made to an
swer just as usual. London To-
bacco. Banks in Cleaner.

BRILLIANT DISPLAY.
Fireworks Night of the Fair Is One
of the Greatest Ever Seen
Here

Brilliant, beautiful and magnificent.
These words hardly do justice to the
grand display of fire works at the
Maury County Fair on Wednesday
night. No city has ever seen more
imposing spectacle than that furnish
ed by the management for the enter
tainment of the hundreds who focked
to the grounds. 1t was an inspiring
and an artistic presentation of the
works of man in imitation of many OF
the works of nature. 1t was also an
exceptionally good imitation of the
batteries of artillery used for destruc-
tive purposes.
The attendance at night was good,
the grand stands and boxes being al
most filled.
The band concert was immensely
enjoyed. The musical aggregation
from the capital city is immensely
pleasing to the public and the music
is one of the fine features Of the fair
