LARGE OUTPUT.
October Coal Product Above the Average in
Hopkins County Mines.

The shipments of coal during
the past week in Hopkins coun-
ty has been above the average Of
the usual October business; and
this is saying a good deal, for
October is a good month for coal
shipments.
The biggest days work for the
st. Bernard group of mines was
on the 2Sth instant when these
mines shipped 3,577 tons of coal.

DOWN IN THE MINES.

Freedom of speech, when kept
within the bounds of reason and law,
should be allowed; but when Jim
Wood or any other agitator visits a
city and attempts in the face of, and
contrary to q legal notice, to hold
what might be termed disorderly
assembly. where abuse is heaped
upon the heads of reputable citizens,
that freedom should be abolished, as
the citizens of Sebree have attempted
to do.
Nollie Umstead has been sufferer
from what at first was thought to be
a slightly injured hand, but which
later threatened to develop more Sc
riously.
Much praise is being bestowed
upon both the circuit and county
judges of Christian county, who SO
far as in their power give the En-
pire Coal Co. protection against
those U. NJ. WIS who would, if given
rope, take complete charge of the
mines. In this state, as well as
others, there is little trouble expe-
rienced in the enforcement of the
law and the preservation of order
when officers do their duty, and
Christian and Webster counties give
an illustration of that fact.
At one point in the county 200 or
more members of the of the U. M. w.
are in camp, and they well armed.
At another camp forty or more we'll
armed men can be found, and yet
they would have you believe they
are on a peaceful mission.
All mines in the county continue
to run full time, and that with full
force. 1t is rather strange that now,
when the lives of miners are threat
ened, that thousands of additional
men could be secured for service in
the mines of this county. This indi-
Gates that the reputation gained by
the coal operators for fair dealing
with their employees has spread both
far and near, and hence applicants
for work are turned away.
A ne-million-dollar stock COM
pany has been formed in North
Carolina to develop gold and copper
mines.
The Manufacturers Record has
this to say upon compulsory arbitra-
ton of labor disputes: The summary
which has been published in report
by the National Industrial commits
sion on arbitration in labor disputes
does not indicate that the report will
be very strongly in favor of compul-
sorry arbitration. 1t states that rep
resentatives of employers and OF
workingmen who have testified be-
fore the commission have almost
uniformly opposed compulsory arbI-
tration, that several state boards
of arbitration have expressed an
OpAnlOn dSuAiob OhO p SbCLA tp a SCn-
eral principle, and that one or two
such boards have specifically OPP
posed 1t in any form. Such opinions
are in agreement with a sentiment
which is rapidly growing in favor OF
voluntary arbitration. That system
is already working satisfactorily in
more than one trade and industry,
and is being cherished on practical
lines by an association national in
its scope. In the interest of capital
and labor, it is hoped that 1t may be
generally adopted. Compulsory arbl-
tration can come only through the
interference of the state, and such
interference in existing conditions is
too likely to be too much tinged with
demagogy and self-seeking agitation
to work any ultimate good for either
party to dispute.

The figures are not at hand for
the other mines but all are run
ming regularly and claim to be
producing their full quota of
coal. There is an abundance of
coal orders and no scarcity of la
Dor in any quarter. Cars are
also had in good supply on the
Louisville and Nashville line,
but are little irregular on the
Illinois Central.

The Alleged Murder.

way, her seventeen-mon old
babe in her lap. "What the
h are you crying about your
d. kids for?" asked the hus-
band. Then he is alleged to have
struck her twice in the back, and
as she arose kicked her twice in
the abdomen. With a cry of
pain Mrs. Purcell dropped her
babe upon the ground and stag
gered toward the house, where
few invited wedding guests had
assembled. Purcell picked up
the baby and carried it to the
house.
Opon reaching the rear door
way Mrs. Purcell sank to the
ground and became unconscious,
dying in a few hours. The we'd
ding feast was turned into
night of morning. 1t was stated
that Mrs. Purcell's death was
due to heart trouble.
An undertaken was called, and,
while he found an unusual
amount of blood in the abdomi-
nal cavity, he took it for granted
that her death was due to nat

On the following day, how

year-old son, made his way to
Prosecuting Attorney Padgett's
Office, and there related story
of what he saw while standing in
the doorway of a partition wall.
In his boyish way he said that
his mother was was sitting on a
doorsill crying, and that his
father approached and beat and
kicked her. When he had fin
ished his startling story he filed
an affidavit against his father
charging him with wife-murder.
When placed under arrest that
night Purcell put his right hand
to his forehead and exclaimed:
"Oh, my God" He refused to
make any statement whatever
other than general denial of
of the accusations of his son
Jesse.
