BLUE GRASS

Some local gentlemen have
sold $4,000 bushels of blue grass
seed to Mr.. c. S. Brent, of Paris,
KY, at the price of 80 cents per
bushel. The parties are Messrs.
H. B. Hanger, w. c.. Bennett and
T. D. Chenault.
Why not establish headquarters
for this blue grass industry insthe
City of Richmond? Such able
fnanciers as Messrs. Hanger,
Bennett and Chenault can handle
a business of that kind, because
they have ample capital and fine
business qualifications. All they
want is for the farmers. of the
county to stick to them, and they
can and no doubt will establish d
great market here. In saying
this we don't overlook the fact
that there are other local CAPT
talists who have contributed
much to the success of the blue
grass seed industry. The com
bined influence and capital of al
the local buyers would make thi:
a great market.

Talks By Our Ministers
Contributed
Success of BILLY" Sunday

We are all accustomed to hide
our ignorance of the forces which
contribute to the success of great
men under familiar words that
really conceal our thought. This
famous evangelist defies analysis,
and his friends sum up all his
greatness in the phrases that HE
is man of God" Of course this
is true, but there are hundreds of
men to whom such language
might be as fifty applied who will
live and die in obscurity, and even
in poverty. Billy Sunday will do
neither. The distinguishing APP
pellative does not distinguish.
We ought to take it for granted
that God is with all good men
who faithfully seek to do his will,
and seek for the reasons else
where which made such a man
conspicuous in his day.
Billy Sunday knows how to adj
vertise. 1t is said that advertiS-
ing experts can learn from him.
He is master of organization.
He is an autocrat, and loves to
command. Politicians sit up and
take notice when they see what a
master-organizer he is. His fnan-
cial methods are made a study by
financiers and business men. He
knows how to move audiences.
His slang is acceptable to the
masses, and with these he has to
deal. But he appreciates the val
ue of cultured diction and knows
how to use that. He is a born
psychologist, and knows how to
take advantage of critical mo-
ments. He knows just the hour
to urge men and women to strike
the sawdust trail" His irrever-
ence and undue familiarity with
sacred things, give him an I'M
popular reputation among those
who never heard him, but as was
the case with Sam Jones, his
breaks sound better than they
read. He is a public target for
all manner of criticisms, but he
can win whole communities to
himself, turning them from en-
emies to friends, and has no lack
of thousands to sing his praises,
and fight for him, if necessary.
All great evangelists are eng
mas to most of us. We keep
asking, "How do they accomplish
so much ?" In Billy Sundays
case the success is thoroughly hu-
man. He leaves no stone unturn-
ed to secure the results he seeks.
He plans. his work and works the
plans, if ever a man did. Moth
ing is left to the inspiration of the
moment, nothing is left to acct
dent, chance, or the conditions OF
the weather. All his work looks
to one end, and arrangements are
made accordingly. The man him.
self is a real force; he has a great
message for his age, and the age
is willing to hear it,
Why can't one-thousand men
do what he is doing? His meth.
DDS are open for observation. He
covets publicity, and any are wei
come to follow his plans. We may
ask, Why all editors are not Da
mas or Greeleys? Why all ply
sicians are not Mayos? Why al
business men are not Carnegies
Somehow the man is the mair
factor in the problem. The mar
makes the methods and not the
methods the man. At any rate ;
man must be extraordinary, nj
matter how objectional he ma,
appear in some particulars, wht
can hold a city like Pittsburg il
the hollow of his hand for fiv,
weeks. But like all great mel
his greatness will not be lappre
ciated until after he is dead.

JULY 4 NAvY'S BIG DAY.
Officials and Officers Cooperate to
Give Sailors o Fine Holiday.


Give Sailors o Fine Holiday.
Uncle Sam makes the Fourth of July
a greater day among his sailors than
even Christmas. Indeed, It is the
greatest day of relaxation and pleasure
for Jackie in the whole year. The
early secretaries OF the navy establish.
ed the custom. and II has been nj.
most religlously maintained inviolate
through the long line of officials who
have succeeded the pioneers Of our sea
forces.
Independence day belongs to the blue.
Jacket. His superiors recognize that
his life Is In some respects hard one.
To him are denied the ties of family, the
friendships and all the other interests
and diversions Of life that make up
the landsman's existence. For this
reason Uncle Sam believes that his
sailors should have as many holidays
AS possible.
To make Independence day the big.
gest Of them oil Is to give the day
special significance which cannot but,
TO some degree ut least. carry Its les.
son OF patriotic duty 10 those who
serve the republic on the seas.
Hence admirals and captains always
plan 10 remain In port on July 4. Then.
after dressing ship, firing the national
salute and brief patriotic services. the
day is given to the men to enjoy as
they see Ht.
The sports that attend the sailors
Fourth OF July are OF n varied charac.
ter Our naval service has, OF course.
become affected TO u considerable ex.
tent by the great outdoor movement
that has converted Independence day
into one OF the greatest sporting car.
nivals OF the year.
The navy department has wisely en-.
couraged this tendency, and wherever
an open field Is available the piece de
resistance Is n baseball game some
times between rival mines picked from
members OF the same ship. oftener be-
tween teams representing different
ships aud In some extreme cases be-
tween mines from separate squadrons
that happen 10 be In rendezvous near
each other.
Then there are track and field events
The fleet footed wearers OF the blue
show how fast they can sprint Now.
Just what good this does them In their
development as lighters Is not clear.
for even IL they had the instinct 10 Zee
and could get over ground faster than
a Duffey II would do them no good at
the moment when the prov OF the ship
was heading for a moist trip to Davy
Jones' locker. However, they run and
throw weights and hammers, jump and
pole vault.
IL no athletic field Is available then
the rivalry must be confined TO aquatic
events-swimming and rowing races.
In the rare Instances where II Is not
possible to get ashore or the water
conditions preclude rowing or swim
ming the bluejackets test their PROV
ess at boxing. wrestling. fencing.
dancing and singing.
Then the ships larder Is drawn on
for such extra delicacies as transform
the regular meal into banquet, and
Mr.. Sailor crawls into his hammock
with the comfortable feeling that the
Fourth of July is a pretty big day.
after all, and that he Is glad TO be able
