Expert Examination

These bankers believe that it Is inexped-
lent for a national banker now to at
tack either the bill as a whole or any par
ticular feature of it. 1t will be far better
to obtain competent information from inn
partial sources OF recognized expert au-
thority respecting the bill as a whole and
also respecting the more important feat
ures of it.
In fact, there is already under way a
sort of informal, expert and highly au-
thoritatve study of this bill. 1t is not to
be made in a critical spirit 1t is to be
made after the manner of the referee ap-
pointed by a court to take testimony and
then to report to the court simple state
ment of facts.
These experts are expected to dig down
to the very roots of the pending bill. They
are expected to analyze it, throwing upon
it the light which expert knowledge,
wholly impartial. can give, so that at

just about sums up the real
Christmas sentiment existing
among people connected with the the
atricul business No. that doesn't
mean that the actor. the manager and
the advance agent do not appreciate
the giving and receiving OF presents
from their friends But II does mean
that people connected with the stage
have come to look upon the Christmas
time as a season Of short pay and hard
work
II isn't generally known. but It Is
mono the less true. that most actors
have clause In theis contracts which
calls for half pay the week before
Christmas This clause was inserted
IN tho days when the week before
Christmas really was though" one I'm
the theatrical business. But nowadays
there are many productions which
pack the theaters to the doors the week
before Christmas as well as any other
week In the year. Nevertheless some
OF the managers live up to that con-
tract and deduct the half weeks pay.
That IS one reason why actors aren't
particularly merry at Christmas.
There are other managers who
make a practice OF laying off their
companies the week before Christmas
and some OF them ten days or two
weeks before. In that case there is
no SALARY at all forthcoming. That.
probably. is another reason why the
average actor cannot understand why

A FINE REVIEW
OF THE HISTORY
Of Muhlenberg County BY
Judge Lucius p. Little
FOR THE HERALO'S COLUMNS
Early ViciSsitudes That Beset
Our NeighbOr Graphically
Described.
SOME HISTORY IN THIS, ALSO
(By Judge Lucius p. Little.)


While we are waiting for that
history of Kentucky, long hoped for
but which is yet to be written, we
must be content with such accounts
of it's cities, towns and counties and
such sketches of its illustrious sons
as those welding the pen of a ready
writer may furnish us. Many of
these accounts and sketches are
pleasant reading, but Muhlenberg
county is especially fortunate in hav-
ing Mr.. Otto A. Rothert, of Louis
vile, for it's historian. A few others
may have written as we'll, but take
his history all In all, none, to our
thinking, has surpassed him. The
printer and the illustrator have
faithfully done their part of the
work.
Mr.. Rothert happily availed him
self of his opportunity to begin his
book with brief sketch of the lib
erty-loving preacher, Gen. Mullen
berg. Giving the county his name
was a lasting testimonial to his val
or end patriotism, and in thus do
ing him honor, assurance was also
given that those who bestowed it adj
mired and emulated his virtues.
Among the first corners to the
Muhlenberg region-some years be-
fore the county was established
was Henry Rhoads, a native OF
southeastern Pennsylvania. He was
an intelligent man and possessed of
all the homely virtues so needful in
a new country. He was member
of the Legislature when, in 1898,
the county was established, and he
was one who did not forget his old
commander when it was named.
At very early day came numer-
Gus families. or the stock from
which families sprang, whose names
have been household words in the
county for a century. Charles F.
Wing, at the beginning, was SOL
der who became clerk of the courts,
and so continued for more than fifty
years. Edward Rumsey was schol-
ar and statesman. Alney Mclean
was a soldier when his country was
in war, and a jurist when peace re-
turned. James Weir, the elder, re-
sided at Greenville, but was a lead
ing merchant in a dozen counties
from Tennessee to Illinois, and en-
gagged in traffic with New Orleans,
and was a man of affairs who accu-
mulated a very great fortune for
that day. A younger James Weir
won wide repute as an author of fic-
ton over sixty years ago.
The chapter entitled THE Story
of the Stack" is an interesting ac-
count of the establishment of an
iron furnace in 1887 for the manu-
facture of pig iron from ore found
in the county. The projectors of
this enterprise were Col. Aylette
Buckner Gather of Governor Buck
ner) and Cadwalader Churchill,
men of intelligence and ample for
tune. A company was formed by
whom the furnace was operated un-
til 1912 when, ceasing to be profita-
BILE, II was abandoned.
The great and insuperable obstacle
