WARNINGS POSTED
AT STONE QUARRY
Public VIII Be Prohibited From
Using 1t As Highway During
Blasting

Conspicuous danger signs and
warnings to pedestrians informing
them they trespass at their own risk
were posted in various places about
the county stone quarries at an early
hour Monday morning as a result of
the danger reported from the blasts
which have been attracting the atten-
ton of nearby residents for some
time.
The report that a number of houses
had been damaged and that life was
jeopardized at times by the terrific
explosions was made at the last meet
ing of the city council, and an inves-
t;CatI: II made by the members oe ihe
L:ni,ton q Burl1s contracting comIa-
ny. w!l,ci' has the quarry lease1, way
the cause of the action. Chaiies
Thompson, handler Of the dynamite,
and who is in charge of the work, is
recognized as an expert in this line.
He stated that at times his charges
oil dynamite were held up by the per-
sistency of small boys, whom he
would have to virtually drive from
the place, and get them to place OF
safety before he could let the charge
go, and that the damage to the build
ings was small, if any, actual dam
age had been wrought at all. He
stated he stood ready and willing at
all times to pay for any property loss
accIuing from the discharges, and
persisted in believing that the re-
ports were exaggerated. He stated
school children, as well as many
workmen used the quarry in cutting
to their destinations, and that while
he had been experiencing considerable
difficulty at times in clearing the way,
he was not aware of any damage
done to buildings until informed of
the report at the meeting of the city
council. Mr.. Thompson said the near
est house, with one exception, was al
most a thousand feet from the quarry
and that he used the house nearby
from which to touch off the charges,
and this building, he explained, with
the exception of slightly torn screen
which he replaced with new one,
had not been damaged by any falling
stone. He obtained the permission
from the owner and occupant of this
building to fire his charges, and there
has not been any damage there. Since
the blasting will continue for several
weeks, and the City schools will be-
gin in the near future, it was thought
best to take the action, and pedes-
strianslewill be prohibited from max
ing use of the property henceforth.

CORN and WHEAT
SLOGAN OF FARMERS
Uncertainty of the Tobacco Crop
Causes Impetus In Early Fall
Farm Work

The first blowing for corn and
wheat is being started by farmers of
Madison county and there will be ex-
sensive work along this line, since the
uncertainty of big tobacco crop
still confronts producers of the weed
and they are taking time by the fore
lock, and, it is claimed by many,
twice the wheat acreage of the coun-
~ will be recorded another year
Flowing for wheat and corn, it is
stated, will occupy the attention of
the farmers until cold weather, and
there are prospects of the biggest
acreage to wheat and corn next year
III a decade. This matter has been
settled upon and the work will be
rushed from the start, which is now
being made.
The decision of many to do away
with the tobacco trop next year also
adds to the interest of other products
which will be more in evidence dur
ing the year 1921. The average farm
Ell will not stake his all on tobacco,
as in years past, and especially the
past few years. There have been
wonderful crops produced and much
money realized. However, the condi-
ton has changed, say many land
owners, who are changing their plans
for the future. They also state that
tobacco which has been given over to
tobacco steadily for years will be ben
Gifted by the change.
The last of the threshing is being
done in this county and the summer
crops have been we'll taken care of.
No grain, it is claimed, has been
spoiled owing to the rain, although
the cold weather inte1ferred some
what with the finished crops in some
localities, farmers relate, but not .ex-
tensively. There promises to be an
abundance of corn also, tanners re-
late, since thousands of acres are to
be devoted to this. The present price
of corn has stimulated the work, and
there will be retention of farm work
horses for some time, owing to this
| fact, it is claimed. Many report there
will not be the usual big horse and
mule sales in Richmond and other
centers, owing to the fact that the
| teams will be steadily engaged, break
ling as underground as possible be
lore the arrival of cold weather.

LOYALTY OF FIREMgIEN

The early morning fire Sunday
morning, as well as thai of Sunday
night, both during dfenching rain,
tested the loyalty of the fremen of
the city, but a canvass of the per-
sonnet found most of them complete
at both CONGREGATIONS, (which We're
kept from doing much damage, owing
to the vigilance of the firemen Many
have autos in which they respond to
the fire alarms, the same as the city
fire truck, and most of those who
have no vehicles of their own have an
amazing record for towering the
ground somehow" one old resident
stated, who prides himself upon hay
ing some speed of his own, when it
comes to going TO fires. He stated
that whenever he got to the scene of
the fire, no matter what good start
he may have had," he is greeted by
the fremen of the city, already on the
job. The efficiency of the fire de-
partment, personally and collectively,
has been demonstrated at the last
two fires, either of which might have
been disastrous had it not been for
the promptness and persistency with
which the men were at their duty.

teachers CAUTIONED

There seems to have been a de-
cided diversion when agriculture
was the subject at the examina-
lions of the various teachers of
the state, since this matter has
been brought before the attention
of the superintendent of county
schools, with the suggestion that
teachers be especially instructed
to pay particular attention to this
theme. The averages of many
are said to have been cut down as
a result of their lack of interest
in the technical questions of this
subject AS a result there are
agricultural examina tons being
made IN various counties with the
result that the averages are much
better since special study has been
INDUCED in. This is said to be
one Of the most important sub
Jects connected with the examina-
tions in this state and it is desired
that all instructors be "well read
when it is concerned in any man
ner, since this instruction is i'm
peratiye at this period.

TRUCK MEN VISIT HOMES

There was a contract with the
truck men with the asphalt company
that they be allowed to go home ev-
cry two weeks, when they were en-
ployed on the Richmond job, and they
deprted Saturday afternoon on their
semi-monthly visit. Messrs. Claxton,
Cummings, Graham and Hill, all re-
siding in Louisville, will return Mon
day morning. Their work has been
efficient here, and their employers are
quoted as saying the drivers are the
most alert, yet the most rapid, work
ers to be found when it comes to OPP
Grating trucks.
