Embargo Is Lifted on Coal from
Hazard Fields to Louisville
and Cincinnati

The l.. & n. railroad would not re-
ceive coal from local companies
owing to the embargo on shipments
to Louisville and Cincinnati.
The restriction was lifted at
o'clock the 18th, and all the CON-
panies in this district are working
hard TO I'LL accumulated orders.
All shipments TO Louisville and TO
Cincinnati or beyond Cincinnati
over the c., II. & D., Big Four or

by the company. The yards at these
points became so congested that the
embargo was necessary.

Facts About the Eastern Kentucky Division Of
the Dixie Highway
By ]. w. Herndon

Spring is coming, and with the
approach OF good weather, work on
the Dixie Highway will-be resumed
The road from Richmond TO Berea
lacks about one mile OF being com.
pleted. The bed rock is on the mile
and stone already quarried 10 finish
IL; but must be reduced and spread
This will perhaps take two weeks
A few fills and approaches to
bridges will have 10 be widened and
retaining walls built; but this will
soon be done.
The road through Berea is q
model OF beauty, passing in front
OF Talcott and Kentucky Halls.
The road from Berea TO the Rock
castle line, q distance Of about five
miles. will be begun in early spring.
Judge Baxter will put on one OF the
county crews 10 complete this link.
II is one OF the most difficult pieces
OF road 10 construct, owing TO the
fact that IL must cross Scaffold
Cane mountain. Our efficient Road
Engineer, J. s. Boggs, has already
run several initial lines over the
mountain and tells us that he will
be able 10 reach Rockcastle County
on a 8 per cent grade.
Rockcastle County is a little "out
OF tune" Her people are not salts
fed with the location OF the road
through Laurel County. They claim
that Laurel County should meet
them at Livingston. while Laurel
has located her road 10 meet Rock
castle at the mouth OF Parkers
Greek, some five miles up Rockcastle
River from Livingston. This COM
pels Rockcastle 10 build about five
miles more road than she would
have 10 build IL Laurel County would
meet her at Livingston. Laurel
County claims that the road could
not be built 10 Livingston from
London over Wild Cat mountain ex-
cept at a tremendous cost and that
the bridge at Livingston would
much more expensive.
The Fiscal Court OF Rockcastle
County has agreed TO meet Laurel
at the mouth OF Parkers Creek and
ordered that survey be made from
Livingston up the river TO the mouth
OF Parkers Creek.
This action does not meet the ap-
proval Of the citizens living in the
western part OF Rockcastle who are
clamoring for western outlet TO

Ships are daily coming into ports
of the U. s., after passing through
the danger zones around England
and France. A fleet Of a dozen or
more vessels have just sailed from
New York laden with food supplies
and munitions Of war for the allies.
They will have TO go through the
danger zones before they reach the
ports to which they are consigned.
Thus trade goes on in spite Of new

ing her from North 10 South and
with the train OF automobiles and
trucks that will pass through her
every day, will put her in the mar
ket with everything that she can
raise. Her scenic beauty will attract
capitalists from the cities who will
build summer homes along the road
and in less than one year after this
Dixie Highway is completed, your
land will double in value. Then
build your cross country pixies, ono

Greek: another from Brindle Ridge
continuing the Boone Way TO Crab
Orchard and let Rockcastle take the
place she deserves among her sis
ter counties.
Friends OF the road are doing
everything in their power TO secure
Federal aid for you people. C. C.
Thomas OF Richmond, Secretary OF
the Chamber OF Commerce Is lead
ing the fight, backed by score OF
lieutenants who are not leaving q
stone unturned TO secure some aid
for you. The other counties along
the road are not asking Federal aid
for themselves but want IL given TO
Rockcastle and Laurel. Now let's
quit fussing and growing and put
our shoulders TO the wheel and pull
together for the Dixie Highway.
God hates kicker and a gutter.
or course there are always some
soreheads in every community;
these we never hope TO convert. Let
us teach them 10 sing 81 Want TO be
an Angel" and pray God to take
them il He can use them, as they are
no good on earth.
The bond issue may not be sufIlci-
ent TO complete this road but II
every farmer will give a few days
work with his teams TO spread stone
that has been quarried and reduced
by the county, this road can be
completed and dedicated by the COM
ing fall.
