JOHN =. BLACK
Is Being Boosted For Presidential
EIeCtOr

The name of Hon. John A.
Black, of this city, few days
ago appeared in the Louisville
dailies as a special from Middles-
boro that he was candidate for
Presidential ElectOr from this
district. When seen by our cor
respondent Mr.. Black stated
that some of his friends were
urging him to run fer this office
and that he was in a receptive
mood. While personally Mr..
Black believes in the nomination
of Mr.. Taft, yet he feels that re-
gardless of choice for a Presiden-
tial nomination, all Republicans
will vote for the Republican elec-
tor in November.
For these reasons he is just as
anxious to cast vote in the
Electoral College for a Republi-
can candidate for President as
he was when casting his first
vote for A braham Lincoln.
Mr.. Black is one of the most
successful business this part of
Kentucky ever produced. A self
made man in the truest sense.
By hard and constant work, by
an indomnitablc amount of ener.
gy and perseverance, by honest
dealings and fair taeatmenl to
all alike, Mr.. Black has attained
well deserved position in the
commercial and financial world,
which is undoubtedly a source Of
great pleasure to his friends and
inward pride tn himself.
Mr.. Black is President of the
National Bank of John A. Black,
one of the leading banking insti
buttons in Southeastern Ken.

AWAY DOWN
ON THE FARM

The farmers have been very busy
getting in their corn crop this week.
There are a great many of them who
are not through yet. and will not get
through before the end of this month.
Some few who planted fields ten days
ago are finding that the seed was not
as good as ii should be and they are
replanting. This has been a year in
which 1t was difficult to secure good
seed. No feature of farming is more
important than the selection of seed
The planting of corn is so late that
the season of cultivation Is sure to be
short The oats are looking fine and
the farmers say that they never saw a
larger acreage of oats sown than was
sown this year. Unless damaged later
by storm the crop promises to be a
bumper one. Reports Indicate that the
clover sown this spring is coming along
nicely. 1t is said to be the best stand
of clover secured for several years The
wheat crop will be very light.

cording to the Iron Trade Review fig-
ures. The daily average was SLOTS

sixty days. This has been made Inn
perative by the advance on plates and
shapes. specifications are heavy. Con-
tracts for the week in the Chicago

ment, the total tonnage being 6,1S9
tons.
The United States Steel corporation,
according to the Iron Age. has bought
several lots of bessemer iron in the

ket for more. Pig iron markets are
generally firmer. but there are irregu-
larities and concessions are heard of
in a number of quarters Birmingham
producers more generally have s11.50

In the rail market the feature is
the buying by smaller roads. In the
past week the Alabama mill booked
$4,000 tons in small orders, while Chi
cago mills took 10000 tons, of which
the largest lot was 5000 tons for the
