POOR OUTLOOK.
The Tobacco Growers in the Grasp
of a Merciless Combine.
As a Result of Low Prices For Crops, Value
of Land Has Been Ureatly de
duced. 1 see from the papers that the Continental To
bacco Company has bought two more largo man
ufactories. 1 most say that don't sound very
Rood for the tobacco growers. I write you to
find oullf the pressof thocountry could not help
get the farmers of the country together In some
way, that wo may better our condition. We
might petition our I'res dent, Congressman,
Governor, Legislature, or some other way any
way, oh Lord, to better our condition anything
that will bring the trust to a sense of justice,
that we may enjoy some of the prosperity that is
claimed in our country, of which the tobacco
growers havo never tasted. Our last three crops
haven't been large; still the price stays at. 5 and
6 cents. The history of tobacco for thirty odd
years before wc had the trust, was occasionally,
when a panic was in our land, tobacco would
sell as low as 5 cents, but just as soon as the
country got in good shapo the price would go
back to 8, 10 and 15 cents.
The tobacco lands ol the Slate havo decreased
in value from 25 to 50 per cent. I know they
have iu our section since wo have had prosperity
and trusts. Mr. J A. Walton sold a tract of land,
tbrco miles from tiermantown, on Brldgevlllc
pike, for 829 25-100 per acre, that cost him $50 an
ncrc ten years ago. Five hundred acres of S. E,
Mastln's land sold at court house door for less
than $20 per acre ; ten years ago it would have
brought SV) an acre. Lands In my neighborhood
ten years ago sold readily at $100 per acre: to-nay
you can buy all you want at 875 per acre. Tako
the country over and you sec it is a loss of many
millions of dollars.
Wc will havo to lay thl3 loss at the door of M&
Klnloy prosperity and trusts. Tlio farmers are
discouraged, can't see any future for tobacco,
can't compete with tho west raising corn and
wheat ; taxes blgh : what wo buy is at a higher
price; occasionally a drouth, and many other
things to contend with. In a few days we will
have a man to ride up and look at our tobacco,
He will soon tell you he has orders from the boss
to not pay over C cents ; you can take it if you
wish. We arc compelled to accept his price or
sell to' a speculator that has to sell to tho same
boss in the markets. At C cents tho landlord
makes, nothing for his lay out, the tenant don't
actually get over 25 cents a day and boards htm
Hclf. By their wives selling chickens, turkeys,
eggs and butter they make out to live. Our
school system enables them to give their chll
dren some education ; there Is no doubt about it,
be is receiving less pay for bis work than any
laborer In this yast country. Wo could bear this
burden with more case, if the consumer got the
benefit of a larger plug of tobacco for the same
money, but alas, the big dividends go to pay big
per cent, on watered stocks.
It is not only the duty of every tobacco grower
as well as business man in the. tobacco section to
rise up in their might against the monster, but
it la the duty of our State to say to Congress you
by taxing our main staple since the days of the
Civil war have kept out small competition, and
left the manufacturing in the hands of a few,
and by so doing has enabled them to form a
trust. Said trust has in the last few years re
dnced the price of our main staple so low that
onr farms havo gonodown from 25 to 50 per cent,
Our growers are the poorest paid laborers In the
United States. Wc demand of you to take the
tax off tobacco. We have known you to pay
bounty to somo states on sugar.
Free ourstaple from the unjust taxation. You
Bay it is a luxury; we say it is not, to tho man
that raises it. It is as much a staple as sugar,
corn or wheat. Undoubtedly the tux caused the
trust. Remove the cause and good results will
follow. It is time to act. J. F. Walion,

TUB TELEPH0NK BUSINESS.
An Advocate of the Proposed Mutual Sys
tem Sets Forth Its Advantages A
Ulimpso Into the Future.
Editor Biilktln: A few weeks ago an article
appeared in your paper outlining a plan for
organizing and operating n county telephone
system on a mutual basis, tho expense of which
shall bo restricted to tho bare cost of construc
tion and maintenance. At a meeting of citizens
held at tho ouice of the County Judge last Mon
day, committees wero appointed on the main
turnpikes of tho county, (Ml. Curmel excepted,
by reason of no representation), to got an ex
pression from tho people and report to the Fiscal
(Jourt'next Monday, Deo. 23rd, whether they
prefer citizen ownership of telephone franchises
oyer the roads or corporation ownership.
Tho yast expense and aupoyances incurred in
rescuing tho turnpikes of the county from corpo
rate ownership should bo too recent and too
fresh in the minds of our citizenship to, by,ln
difference to consequence, assent to tho sale oj
their properties to corporations to build upon
and acquire profits from a public necessity, so

there bo concert of action to avoid It. The Fiscal
Court stands ready to conform to the wishes of
its constituency and it behooves its constituency
to make known their position.
We all understand that on one sido of this pro
posed salo tho paper reads not exclusive, but
turn it over and there you have exclusive on
every lino and spaco from top to bottom. Why ?
Because there Is no restriction on tho purchaser
of these franchises as to which side of the road
ho shall occupy, and as well understood in tho
construction of telephone and telegraph lines
there is a continuous zigzag from one side of the
road to the other to economlso distance and save
labor. Allow a corporation to buy these fran
chises and then undertake your citizen move
men t and unless your lines are from five to seven
feet above the other you will bo met with a suit
of injunction on the ground that tho closeness or
promimlty of lines is an Injury to scrvlco.
Grant that the county receives M.0C0 or $3,000
for the Lexington plko and a like amount for the
Mt. Sterling pike. How does the purchaser ex
pect to get this money back? From the resi
dents on these roads and the business men of
Maysvlllc; a peoplo who have gone deep into
their pockets to buy these properties in order
that they may enjoy every benefit and every con
venience which they can offer. Sell these prop
erties to profit seekers and what will you pay for
service ? If it's a country residence you pay 810
per year. If it's a country store, a blacksmith
shop, a gristmill or a graveyard, you piy 821
per year. What do you get? You get service
over tho line extending along tho road on which
you live to the exchange, and there you stop. If
you call for a transfer to another line you pay
toll.
What will you get under clttzen ownership?
You get sixteen tmes as much service for $3 per
year as you get under corporate ownership for
SIC pur year. Under the mutual system you not
only have the right of communication over the
line on which you live, but every other line in
the county. You don't stop here 1 Fleming and
Lewis counties are now paying the Maysvillo
Telephone Company a fixed price for permission
to get into this county. These countbs and
every county adjoining us will be only too will

THE AERIAL GL0UE.
A Gigantic Amusement Concern Will Be a
Feature of the BigSt. Louis Exposi
tion A City in the Clouds.
Correspondence of Bulletin. 1
St. Louis, December lGtu, 1001.
As migh( be expected there are all sorts of
schemes and enterprises talked about heie in
connection with the St. Louis big show in 1003,
and from which their projectors expect to add
largely to their bank accounts. The must promi
nent of these, however, is tho Frlede Aerial
Globe, a city In theclonds. Tho groat Columbian
Exposition at Chicago had its Ferris Wheel,
built at a cost of 3500,000, the Paris World's Fair
its Eiffel Tower, erected at an expenditure of
1,300,000, and the Louisiana Purchase F.xposl
tion wilt have its aerial globe which is to cost
82",000,000.
The site on which this gigantic and wonderful
s'tructure is to bo built Is two hundred feet above
the city Uvel and Immediately adjoins the
world's fairgrounds. The building at iu high
est point will be seven hundred feet above the
ground, or nine hundred feet above the city
level. It will accommoda'o at one time from
twenty-five thousand to thirty thousand persons
and will contain, besido other attractions, an
illuminated dome, inclined walks, movable cafe,
circus and menagerie, observatory, ic, Ac.
The aerial coliseum will be about three hun
dred feet above the ground, one thousand feet In
circumference, and will havo a continuous
circus from morning till night. The aerial music
hall will be about four hundred feet above the
ground, one thousand feet in circumference, and
will furnish music continuously by an immense
orchestrion. The aerial movable cafe will give
a panoramic view of tho entire fair, of beautiful
Forest Park and of much of the city. It will be
about three hundred and ninety feet above tho
ground, ten feet wldo and one thousand feet in
circumference. The aerial palm garden will be
four hundred and forty-four feot above tho
ground and one thousand feet In circumference.
Tho aerial suspended roof garden, containing
theaters and restaurants, will bo ono hundred
and ten feet above the ground and ono thousand
feet in circumference. And so it will bo seen
that theJFrlede Aerial Globe will bo at once the
most interesting and the greatest structural
wonder of the ago. It Is tho purpose of its build
ers to make it a permanent thing aud after, the
big fair is over to rent It for conventions, public
mecttugs, circuses, summer garden? Ac.
The Ferris wheel had a capacity of twenty
thousand persons a day but the aerial globo will
accommodate six times that number, or one
hundred and twenty thousand per day. The
Eiffel Tower bad four elevators with a carrying
capacity of sixty people, while the aerial globe
will havo sixteen elevators which will carry
sixty people each, or with a carrying capacity of
nlnq hundred aud sixty persons.
Tho gentlemen at the bead of tho Aerial Globe
Co. aro men of aflalrn here and stand high in
business and commercial circles, but theirs is a
separate and. djstlnct organization from the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co.
So you see that although the great exposition is
about a year and a half away, things are beginning
to hum hero. Already itsinfluencoisbolng shown
and felt in many lines of business, and notably,
in tho bank clearances of the city. Last month
these nmounted to nearly SC0,OC0,0OO as against
less that 810,000,090 for the same month last year.
Aud yet, tho handling of forty millions or more
which must bo expended in -preparing for 1903
has not yet really commenced.. The busy times
aro just beginning. The entire city is to be
firlgbtened up' to rccelvo aud entertain the mil
Ions of "strangers within its gates" between
May 1st and Deo. 1st, 1903, and in doing this pot
Jess, than 10,000,000 will bo expended. The
street car lines, now about 430 miles In length,
are to be oxtended and improved at a cost of
fniljipns more. Tho steam' railroads are com
pelted to extend and. fmproye their switching
facilities to enablo them the better to handle the
greaj crowds who will be hero during tho (air,
and to, many hundreds of thousands of dollars
more must bo. spen, But this letter Is lengthen
ing. ; So more anon. Exk'y.
The undersigned wish to extend sincere
thanks to th'e'lr friends and neighbors for their
many expressions of kindness and sympathy in
the loss of their littlo daughter, Margaret. " '

He Took the First Train.
"I was In tho newspaper business once my
self," laughed tho portly party. "When I left
college, 1 decided that nothing but Journalism
would cater to the strenuous life that I proposed
to lead. In looking over the situation I realized
that the eastern field was too cramped for my
swelling ambition, so I decided upon the (reo
and boundless West as the only spot where my
budding genius could properly expand unham
pered by the conventionalities of the effete East.
Well I found a small town In the West whero
there was no paper and proceeded at once to till
a long felt want. Soon after I had established
my great moldcr of opinion a lynching took
place and I felt that the situation called for a
few burning words upon the subject. Tho re
sult was a two column leader, wherein I handled
the outrage without gloves. I cannot now recall
what I said except Jtho cud, which read some
thing ltko this: 'Gentlemen, think twice be
fore you again drag the namo of our beautiful
aud future great city through the mud.'
"The editorial containing my Inspired and
burning words was hardly issued when I had a
call from a delegation of my fellow citizens.
" 'What can I do for yon, gentlemen V I asked
realizing I was Incog a condition, not a theory.
"We've kirn ycrc,' said the spokesman, 'to In
form you that wo don't take no shine to that
thar article of yourn 'bout lynchln'. Our first
impression was to bring a rope along with us,
but wc remembered what you said 'bout think
in' twice, so we've jes called to let you know
that we've had our first think. We'll bo yero
again tomorrow.'

Accordingly, upon his ii.rst visit to Chi

extract tooth. He was told to separate
the ligaments around the tooth, to take
a linn grip aud then to pull.
Equipped with an old pair of den

Teapots and coffeepots do not go
hack very far, since tea and coffee
were not introduced Into Europe until
the seventeenth century, and no silver
tea pot or kettle Is known of earlier
than 1 701). Festoons and medallion
nre characteristic ornaments of tea
pots of the time of the early Georges.
Not until the middle of the eighteenth
century, however, do we find sliver

a son, from whom descends a family,

Files multiply at a prodigious rate.
Given a toinperntuio sulllclently high
to hatch eggs, their numbers are only
limited by the amount of food avail
able for them. Llnmcus Is credited
with saying that three ment files, by
reason of their rapid multlpllcatlr ,
would consume a dead horse quicker
than would n lion, and the fact that
certain dlpiera having some outward
semblance to the honeybee lay their
eggs In the dead carcasses of animals
probnbly led Samson and Virgil to
make erroneous statements with re
gard to the genesis of honey nnd the
manufacture of bees. Tho breeding of
"gentles" for ground halt Is nri Indus

ably give much Information as to the
nicety of choice exercised by files In
selecting material for feeding and egg
laying. According to Packard, the
house fly makes selection of horse dung
by preference for ovipositing, and as
each female lays about 120 eggs and
the cycle of changes from egg to fly Is
completed In less than three weeks it
seems probable that a female fly might
have some 23.000,000 descendants iu
the course of :i hot summer. Other va
rieties of flies multiply, 1 believe, still
more rapidly.
As flies multiply upon and In organic
refuse of every kind. It Is obvious that
the sooner such refuse Is placed whe-v .

, MISTAKES TO AVOID.
An English paper gives what It terms
"thirteen mistakes of life:"
It Is n great mistake to set up our
own standard of right and wroug and
judge people accordingly.
To measure the enjoyment of others
by our own.
To expect uniformity of opinion In
this world.
To look for judgment nnd experience
In youth.
To endeavor to meld all dispositions
alike.
To look for perfection In our own ac
tions. To worry ourselves and others with
what cannot be remedied.
Not to yield In Immaterial matters.
Not to nllevlnte all that needs allevia
tion as far as lies In our power.
Not to make allowances for tho Infir
mities of others.
To consider everything Impossible
that we cannot perform.
To believe only what our finite mind 3
can grasp.
To expect to be able to understand
everything.

that "the mental faculties of a man's
