A New City.

Mr.. j. A. Helm, representing some
Eastern capitalists, who are construct
ing the Cumberland & Northern Rail-
road from Barbourville to Manchester.
was in this city last week in consulta-
tion with Mr.. ID. B. Shackelford, looking
to the purchase of a town site located
near Manchester in Clay county. The
deal was consummated and we expect
in the near future for the town to spring
up like some of the other magic cities
of Eastern Kentucky. 1t will be situated
Just across the river from the present
town of Manchester.
This road has been long in contem
plation, and with immense Eastern cap
iLal behind it. it will be pushed to a
speedy completion. The road will ira
verse large boundary of land owned
by Mr. Shackelford and will greatly en-
nance it in value.
Clay county has given the right-of-
way and in addition to this the sum of
s55, 600 by private subscription. The
right-of-way has been donated with a
few exceptions through Knox county.
In addition to the main line between
Barbourville and Manchester, there will
be several spur lines constructedNas feed
ers to the main line.
We congratulate Mr.. Shackelford or
his good luck.

DUST AND OTHER THINGS

Our recent editorial on the dust ques-
ton met with general appreciation. We
believe it to be as feasible plan as can
equitable principles and nothing is better
than equity.
The dust on the main thoroughfares
of the city is simply intolerable. The
soft limestone which the City Council
is putting on the highways is practically
worthless. The first rain or freeze fol-
lowed by sunshine, converts the streets
into a lime pit, and then when the
slightest gust of wind comes, it is blown
into the buildings and into the residences.
1t is thousand times worse than mud.
If the city authorities allowed the streets
to become unreasonably muddy, the
grand jury would have the right to in
dict the Council for failure to keep the
streets in repair and for suffering a
nuisance. There is no difference in
principle in reference.to dust.
Dust is a nuisance of the gravest
character. 1t carries with it the germs
of disease. 1t destroys the delicate
structure of the eye, nose. throat and
lungs. 1t aggravates t-catarrah, bron-
chitis, and consumption. 1t is a menace
to the health generally and certainly de
stroys all home comforts.
The people are bitterly complaining
OF the neglect of the Mayor and Coun-
Gil in this regard. If an ounce of pre-
ventive is worth pound of cure, why
should not the Council buy the preVen-
tive?
Suffering the dust to remain on the
streets is a nuisance of the most culpa-
BILE character. The Council is liable to
indictment for the failure to protect the
people from nuisance effecting the
health and comfort of its citizens. We
are not urging criminal procedure
against the very worthy gentlemen com
posing the Council nor against the May
or, but something must be done. Rich
mond is confronted with condition and
not theory. Certainly there is enough
money taken from the pocket of the tax
payers to meet the conditions, and the
people demand that it be done.
