No Prospect of . Settlement.

There seems to be little prospect Of
an early settlement of the coal miners
strike. Some of the mines are being
operated by non-union men, but none
Of them have full force. The strikers
claim that all the coal being mined is
costing the operators more than they
realize from its sale. At some points
the striking miners are preparing to
plant crops and garden truck, in order
TO be able to hold out for their de-
mands. About seven carloads of coal
is being sent out daily from Hunting
ton, which is gotten out by colored
miners. While the miners seem con-
6dent of success in the end, operators
are standing firm and refuse to yield,
and claim they will be able to secure
all the men needed within a short time.

Commissioner Hill urges the farmers
In every section of the state to organ
lie farmers institutes and to conduct
their business in systematic manner.
BY coming together and exchanging
ideas, and discussing results from diff
ferent crops, all will be benefited. In
many sections produce is shipped in
carload lots, thereby insuring reason
able freight rates and a profit to the
producer. In these communities the
farmers get together" each agreeing
to plant, say one acre in potatoes, one
acre in onions, one acre in melons, and
so on. When the various crops mature
it is no trouble to gather a carload for
shipment, each farmer receiving pay

day, Oct. 18, and carries with the as.
surance Of IN event OF annual recur.
renee to which theatre .goers always
look forward with much interest. The
American stage has fostered but few
productions of the "liveforever' kind,
and Of these lin Old Kentucky" is per.
haps the most conspicuous. The popu.
larity Of this play has been attributed
to a variety Of causes; notably, it's par
entage Of the now famous band Of di.
minutive darkies, whose music and
mirth have become the signal for i'm
measurable joy from one end Of the
country to the other. The skillfully
manipulated horse race has also been
declared the element of striking merit
in the production. The best judges Of
the drama, however, pronounce these
theories u%ntenable, because features Of
an almost identical nature have utterly
failed to bring prosperity to a half
dozen plays designed to surreptitiously
reap some Of the golden harvest Of I'm
Old Kentucky" The intense human
interest sustained throughout the
story, and it's wholesome, natural tone,
are the combined elements which appeal
so strongly to the American people.
Americans have become familiar with
phases Of life in the famous blue grass
region of Kentucky through song and
story dating back many years, and it is
the fidelity with which Kentucky life is
portrayed. and the perfect dovetailing of
the exciting incidents and thrilling fea
ures that render the play a dramatic
masterpiece. Manager Lift has pro.
vided a complete new scenic equipment
for this seasons tour and the ~favorite
original cast is retained.

During the months of July,
August and September of the
present year money was exceed
ingly scarce and business in al
most every line was dull. The
liquor business, however, does
not appear to have experienced
any material reduction in the
amount of sales. The two dispen-
saries in this county sold, during
the three months, $831O.S0 worth
of liquors. This goes to prove
what is frequently asserted, that
some people will buy whiskey if
they have to do without every
thing else.

BE MORE CAREFUL.

The Grand Jury, in their wis
dom, have seen fit to recommend
"That the Dispensers in this
county be more careful in OBJ.
serving the hours, as provided by
law, in which liquor may be sold,
and, when liquor is sold after
hours, in seeing that the prescrip-
ton presented is bona fide doc
ument."
The plain inference from this
is that the Grand Jury is in pos.
session of information showing
that there has been too much lax
ity on the part of our dispensers
in the observance Of the hours
provided by law for the sale of
liquor, and in properly scrutini-
zing prescriptions, or called
Prescriptions, when presented
after hours. 1t is an act of kind
ness on the part of the Grand
Jury to call the attention of these
officers to their failure to careful
ly observe the law in these re-
spects, and the officers should see
10 it that there shall hereafter be
no occasion for similar warning.
AT a time when considerable
rottenness is being unearthed in
connection with the State Dis
pensary, it behooves County Dis
pensaries to guard carefully the
interests entrusted to them and
to observe rigidly the law laid
down for their guidance, lest they
too shall be the subjects of inves
tigation.
The dispensers in this county
are clever fellows, and if they
have sinned in the particulars re-
ferred to by the Grand Jury, the
ENTERPRISE is disposed to at
tribute it to that fact-that they
did it, if at all, to accommodate
their friends, thinking there was
no wrong in it.
