Poor Children Have Best Teeth?

A doctor in the British Medical
Journal makes the statement that the
most perfect teeth he has seen have
been in the mouths of the children of
the very poor-children who never
possessed tooth brush. This physi.
clan states that these youngsters eat
more carbohydrates and less deter
gent material; also, they eat fewer
sweets, and, possibly, which is more
to the point, there is something in
their organizations which resists both
sweets and starch.

Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1912-06-15

The following interesting sketch
of the rise Of j. c. G. Mayo is from
the Princeton Leader:
The new Democratic committee.
man from Kentucky is one Of the
most remarkable men the state has
ever produced. Twenty-Five years
ago he was a poor school teacher in
the Kentucky mountains, with no
apparent chance Of ever amassing
wealth. Today he is a millionaire
many times over. His fortune is
estimated at anywhere from S., 0O0,-
900 to $25, 900 600. 1t is constantly
growing. He made all his money in
the Kentucky mountains and he has
made it all himself. 1t is based on
the pennies and dollars he saved out
Of his scanty earnings as a school
teacher.
The story of Mayo's rise to wealth
is one Of the most interesting in the
annals Of American millionaires
While it is not spectacular it is re
markable example of what foresight
and grasping of opportunities at
hand may lead to.
Mayo was born AZ years ago in
Paintsville. Johnson county, KY,
which is in the mountains. His par
ents had nothing save a livelihood
and at an early age young Mayo be-
gan to teach school.
The Kentucky mountains we're full
of coal. but at that time the rail-
roads had not penetrated them at
all. The coal was so far from mar.
ket that it was valueless and there
was nc prospect that there would be
market for it.
Mayo realized the richness of the
coal fields. He saw that the lands
could be obtained for a little or
nothing and he believed that before
many years the world would need
the coal lands and if he lived until
the railroads came, wealth would be
his.
Mayo went to work on this plan
Mountain coal lands could be bought
for fifty cents an acre. Control
could be secured even cheaper,
through options, as the occupants of
the land would sell options on i'm
mense tracts for a few dollars.

Chicago, June 14.-Eight dele
gates for Colonel Roosevelt and 18

days gains of the two chief rivals
for the republican presidential NOM
ination, from the decision of contest

mittee. In addition the committee

work over the contested delegations
the committee has given President
Taft total of l59 delegates and
Colonel Roosevelt a total of l3.
The contests remaining involve

by the Chief of Police Of

Lexington, KY, June 14.-Wesley
Edwards, a member of the Allen
clan which raided the courthouse at
Hillsville. Va, on March Ia and as
sassinated the judge. the prosecutor
and the sheriff of the court, besides
killing and woundiDg a number of
others. was arrested this morning

ties at that place is correct.

particular, and Chief Petit Is now

Easily the Richest Man
in State of Kentucky.

Money was scarce in the mountains
and the titles 10 the land we're doubt
fol anyway. All the land in Eastern
Kentucky had been given away at
the close Of the war under what
were known as the Virginia grants.
But as the original holders and their
direct descendants had not occupied
the land, settlers gradually came in,
took possession, and in few years
were looked upon as the rightful
holders. But there was always the
possibility that heirs of the original
owners would dispute their claim.
Mayo believed that the courts
would decide for the settlers who
had improved the land. so he bought
options from them.
Mayo had made his calculations
wisely and just in time. In the early
nineties the development of the
mountains began. Capital turned
its attention to the possibilities there
and the mining of coal began. Mayo
was able to start mining on some of
his property and acquired more cap.
ital with which he bought more land
and more options.
In 1901 Mayo made his first big
strike when he organized the Consol-
idated Coal Company, with Balti-
more and Pittsburg capitalists. For
his holdings which went into the
company Mayo received $3.50, 900 and
$3.50, 900 in stock. In year he had
organized four more companies and
he had his first million.
Since that time his advance has been
rapid. Associated with the Camdens
and other coal magnates. he has
gone about the development of East
ern Kentucky, which is now in the
first stages of a great industrial era.
For several years Mayo has been
interested in Democratic state poll
tics. Last year he came to the front
as one of Gov. McCreary's chief sup
porters and he is now recognized as
one Of the most forceful Democrats
in the state.
Mayo's friends believe that the
abilities which have raised him from
a mountain school teacher to multi
millionaire will make him a power
in the Democratic national councils.

unsettled, saying:
I'VE have talked about Judge
