ed feud leaders during the Hargis re-
gime. was id Lexington Wednesday
enroute to Cincinnati on business.
While in Lexington he made the
fact kno Un that he is rapidly dispos-
ing of his holdings in Breathitt county
with the view Cf leaving that section
and seeking a more peaceful location,
where he will not always be in dread
of the assassin's bullet.
Recently he sold his large general
merchandise store at Crockettsville to
his son-in-law. Clifton Crosse. and has
also recently disposed of two of his
farms in that vicinity. He says ne
still owns five hundred acre tract Of
valuable coal land. which is in the
wake of the new extension of the l..

ton. and it is understood that he is
trying to sell this property. :

Asphalt Found in Carter County.

A rich bed of asphalt rock has been
discovered near Soldier. Carter county,
according to James H. Gardner, of the
United States Geological Survey. who
has just returned from making an ex-
animation of the deposit. The new
field comprises 600 acres. on the line
of the G.. & D. railroad.
Mr.. Gardner says it is of such quail
~ and in such abundance that cities of
Kentucky can secure asphaltum for
streets and roofing without having to
import It. Eastern capitalists have
begun negotiations. he says. with the
owners for the immediate development
of the property.

LAS has been thoroughly demon

no place on the habitable globe where
finer and bette mules can be raised

The race for the Republican pomina-

waxing hot and the convention to be

From the present outlook the race
