NEWTON WELLS SHOT
Shot BY William Blackwell Saturday
At SmithIand.

Saturday at Smithland, William
Blackwell shot and probably fatal
ly wounded Newton Wells. Ac-
cording to the report that we have
Of the affair, Blackwell and Henry
Harmon were going up the street
together, when they came up to
Wells, who was sitting on a bench
near the side walk; there had been
some trouble between Harmon and
Wells some time ago, and as Han
non came up, he put his hand in
his pocket as if in the act of draw
ing a pistol, Wells caught his hand,
and in the ssafle that ensued
Harmon, called on Blackwell for
help and the latter drew his pistol
and shot Wells, the ball entering
just beneath the eye. 1t is claim
ed that as Blackwell had a grudge
against T. d. Presnell, and Han
non against Wells, they had start
ed together to attack them. Just
before coming up to Wells, they
had raised a row with negro, and
shot at him.
Harmon and Blackwell are both
in Jail, and it is reported that they
undertook to hang a negro who
was in Jail when they were incar-
cerated, and would have succeeded
had the jailer not appeared just in
the nick of time.

JAMES D. BLACK.
A Candidate For the Democratic Nom.
lnation For Governor.

Hon. James ID. Black, of Bar
bourville, last week announced his
candidacy for Governor as follows:
Il am a candidate for the office
of Governor of Kentucky, Novem-
Der election, 1900, subject to the
action of the Democratic party.
In making this announcement l
am actuated by desire to see the
best interests of my State subser-
we'd, tAnds. : shall be nominated
and elected, the best energies of
my life shall be dedicated to that
end. In this spirit, / now submit
my candidacy to the decision of
my party, and, in advance of any
nomination which may be made, l
pledge a hearty acquiescence in
whatever decision may be made in
the convention to be held July 10,
1900, and my earnest support of
the nominee of that convention"
The home of James d. Black is
at Barbourville, in Knox county.
He was born and reared in that
county. His farther was a farmer,
and the son grew up on the farm.
He read law and was admitted to
the bar in 1874. Since that time
he has been actively engaged in
the practice of law in Knox and
adjoining counties. Some years
ago he represented Knox and
Whitley counties in the lower
house of the Legislature, having
defeated the nominee of the Re-
publican party. In 1890 he was
Grand Master of the Masons in
Kentucky. In 1898 he was one of
the five commissioners from Ken
lucky to the Worlds Fair under
appointment by the Governor. In
1896 he was the nominee of the
Democratic party for Congress in
the Eleventh congressional district
and made a thorough canvass of
the district in the interest of the
party. 1t was known, of course,
from the beginning that no Dem
ocrat could be elected from that
district, and Mr.. Black was defeat
ed. He was an earnest supporter
of the Hon. William j. Bryan and
the principals of the Chicago plat
form.

Six Wealthy Companies Now Operating

SALEM, Ky, May 30, 1900.
EDITOR PRESS:
If you will give me space in
your paper, l will give your read
ers some facts, for their serious
eensideraticn, and l hope every
man, who reads your paper, if he
is not already satisfactorily loca-
ted, will read this, because every
day in the year someone is leaving
Kentucky for the West, the East
or the South, for the purpose OF
making more money than they are
making in this State. Now listen,
in Kentucky, in the county Of
Livingston, and in the town of
Salem, is the greatest mining
place in the United States. That
sounds unreasonable to us, who
have been in the back-woods SO
long, yet my readers, it is a fact,
yes, a stubborn, truthful, honest
fact.
The Eagle Fluor Spar Company
Of West Virginia, is operating a
mine within three miles of Salem,
and has lately put machinery in
their mines, different from any
machinery yet used in the United
States. This machinery costs
many thousand dollars, and sepal-
ates the spar from the zinc; fifty
seven per cent of the output from
this mine is zinc. This company
is very wealthy. and is doing a
great business, giving employment
to a great number of men.
The Great Western Tube Works,
of Keewawnwee, Ill, is also oper-
ating a fine zinc mine in five miles
Of Salem.
A company from Canton, Ohio,
is mining within two miles of Sa-
lem for spar and zinc.
A company from Cleveland, o.,
are at work at different places near
Salem, for oil, spar and zinc.
A company from Tifin, Ohio,
are at work within one mile of Sa-
lem for spar and zinc.
A company from Louisville. KY,
are running several mines close to
Salem, none of them over five mi
les from town.
All of these companies are rich,
and are making money out of their
mines here, and employ great
many men. There is many men
here now representing rich COM
panies from different parts of the
United States and Europe, taking
mineral leases from our farmers in
this county. They all say that
Salem is the center of attraction,
and that Salem is the hub in the
wheel of the mining property in
this county.
These companies above mention
ed, are putting SO much money in
circulation in and around Salem,
that Salem is fast becoming eye
Topic in wealth. Negotiations are
going on for the building of fine
hotel, a Touring mill, some bust
ness houses, etc. 1t is now GER
tain fact that we will have a rail
road to Salem within IL months.
On every Saturday afternoon,
when the miners come in town,
the place looks like a net work of
business, and money changes
hands at a rapid rate. Our mer-
chantsare all getting rich. This is
the place to invest your money in
town lots, in farms or in business
