DOWN IN THE MINES.

Secretary Geo. c. Atkinson is call
ing upon the mine foremen for more
coal The orders are so numerous
that even the st. Bernard Company
cannot fill them as promptly as they
would like to. This indicates to us
that the unlawful and uncalled for
attacks made on this company by
the U. M. w. has proved to their
advantage among those who are low
ers of Justice. The business men
and the heavy consumers of coal are
reading men and keep well posted
upon current events, and being op-
posed to oppression and dishonor-
able attacks on business enterprises
naturally rally to the support of
those thus attacked. One who has
visited the camp of the u. NJ. w. in
the southern part of the county
says their condition is il deed a de-
plorable one; winter fast approach
ing and no shoes or clothing of suf-
.dciept quantity or quality to protect
them against the wintry blasts, is
indeed distressing. This in the face
Of the fact that the chief agitators
sport jewelry and wear fine clothes,
visit houses of doubtful reputation,
patronize saloons and in many ways
use up the per cent sent here by the
honest toilers in other states.
One James Wood, the chief among
!. trouble makers, found out to his sor-
row that free speech, when mixed
with anarchy, delivered in violation
of town ordinance, is punishable
offense. Wood has an exalted opin-
ion of himself and thinks because
the people of Darlington are so for
bearing, other cities can put up with
his TRADE of abuse heaped on busi-
ness men.
Oak Hill mines showed up on cleo
tion day on the right side. Their ex-
perience with the U. NJ. w. when
one of their number almost suffered
assassination, has taught them that
any side favoring the agitators must
be wrong and to vote against them
is the right thing.
So feeble is foreman Toombs that
he thinks it will be-neoessary for
him to take a trip to Tennessee TO
recuperate his fast falling health.
A sad mission indeed was that
which called the president of the ST.
Bernard Company east last week.
The serious sickness of his only sis
ter was the first report, from which
her death resulted before he could
reach her.
Generally speaking the mines were
all idle on election day. Great in
terest being taken by both operators
and miners in the outcome which
proved sad disappointment to
to many.
Secretary Kennedy, of the U. M.
w. of Indiana, in late article to a
labor paper says that secretary
Campbell located in Hopkins coun-
ty, reports favorable progress being
made in that county and hopes for
complete surrender of those fighting
the union in the near future. Here
is another bid for more money; even
blind man could almost see that SO
faras progress is concerned as regards
capture of the Hopkins county mines
by the u. M. w. there has been
none, and in line with statements
made by other agitators, Campbell
wants funds for his support. Justsuch
tales as this is what is deceiving the
honest miners in other states from
whom Kennedy is collecting money.
At point out in Pennsylvania the
miners themselves went into the
store business and labor paper |
lately in mentioning the fact, said |
they made divlnend of $1,000.

ing about 125 men in the mines,
Probably fifty of these have joined |
the union but more than half of this
fifty were farmers who only worked |
in the mines in the winter and the !
farmer boys who worked about the
same way. So really only twenty
five regular workmen joined and left
our service. The places made va
cant were promptly filed by men
who were anxious to work and we
now have 100 men on our pay rolls.
These are, however, prevented and
deferred from regular work by ac-
tual violence.
What Union Demands.
Now Iwant to say few words
about the demands of these people,
as have not seen it in the articles
from your special correspondent.
The men who have left our employ
have expressed themselves as bav-
ing been perfectly satisfied with the
wages received and with their treat
ment at the hands of the company.
The only demand ever made was
that we reorganize the union and
agree to conduct our business upon
rules and regulations that COM
mittee of the organized union should
dictate to US, Members Of the
unioL have stated th vt the wa: os we
paid were even larger than the scale
of the union"
Result Of Union Labor.
Mr.. Anderson then cited two or
three cases to show the effect OF
miners union. He said that at the
Crescent mines on the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad a union was organized
and the proprietor invited a COM
mittee to meet him to adjust
little differences that hal come up.
They did so. A week later the same
thing happened. There was no re-
sponse to o third invitation and on
inquiry it was learned from one of
the committee that the miners
thought it best for the union COM
mittee not to become too familiar
with the over.
Mr.. Anderson gave the organiza-
tion of a union at Oak Hill as an
other instance. He said n union
was organized there two wears ago.
About a month afterwards miner
knocked one of the mine mules
down with a billet of wood. The
mule was hit on the head and one of
its eyeballs literally knOcke out,
The man was discharged. The
union ordered his reinstatement.
On a refusal strike was ordered
and it lasted for six months. The
mine was finally manned with nom
union employees and has been a
non-union mine since.
Another case was the Fields Coal
Company. The union men ordered
Mr.. Fields 10 discharge his store
keeper because they did not like
him. Mr.. Fields said he did like
his storekeeper and refused the de-
mand. He saw strike was immi-
nent and finally discharged the
man. Mr.. Anderson said that other
numerous demands of these miners
finally threw Mr.. Fields into an as
signment.

they are swindling their brother
miners as they claim is the case
with company stores? If so the
company store is not so bad after
all as the U. M. w. would paint it,
since they have entered into the
business for profit making.
Superintendent Harris was much
elated over the way the miners stood
by him as was shown by their vote
in the late election, which indicated
an endorsement of the hard fight
put up against the U. M. w. at that
place.
One of the agitators, rumors say,
went over to Evansville last week
and taste of high life soon left him
broke, and friends at Madisonville
were appealed to for aid to buy
ticket home.
Friends of Dick Salmon of the
Crabtree mine sympathized with
him when he sat witf-downcast face
and saw the majority almost reach
the vanishing point.
Another invasion from Indiana
and Illinois is now promised. This
time they say they are coming with
cannon. AS they seem to be long
range men, and always keep out of
danger, the decision to bring along
some artillery is wise one and may
possibly induce the gang to go as
close as two or three miles from the
mines.
One fellow suggests that If the U.
M. w. sends any more men to Ken
lucky to try to capture mines, they
had better select all Christians, who
are prepared for death at any mo-
ment after they begin the attack.
The Nashville American in last
Saturdays issue contained this in
terview with President Anderson of
the Empire Coal Co:
John ID. Anderson, of this city,
President of the Empire Coal Com
pany, was seen last night and talked
very Interestingly concerning the
effect of the troubles both here and
at the Kentucky mines and freely
expressed his opinion concern
ing the part the union is play
ing. He said he had read the spec
ial correspondence from the scene of
the troubles with great interest and
thought they were fine accounts of
what has occurred.
"The strike has had no material
effect here yet" he said, "and it
may not have. We do not get as
much coal as we need, but it has not
increased prices and so far the peo-
pie have been fairly well supplied.
What SSould be Done. II
The Sheriff of Christian County,
where our mines are located, has
done all believe he could do to re-
lieve the situation. He has, by
proclamation, prohibited the assem-
bling of men or the use of arms to
intimidate those who desire to work
and he has sufficient posse in SER
vice to enforce the proclamation.
I'm Hopkins and Webster coun-
ties the same thing ought to be done
but has not. With any sign of
disposition on the part of the off,
cials of these counties to stop the
trouble feel very sure that there
would be but little further trouble
with the opposing forces and vio-
lators of the law.
1--WE are not having as much trou-
BILE at our mines as in these counties,
but at large expense in keeping
down the trouble after 1t is down.
Our men are more or less intimi-
dated and have fear of being shot
at or shot every time they go to and
from their work. At the time the
trouble commenced we were work !

LADIES GO FROG HUNTING.
IL II n FavOrite Amusement of French
Women at COnstan-
tinople.

One of the favorite amusements of
French ladies at Constantinople is
frog hunting, says the London Tele-
graph. A large party is organized, the
ladies all appear in dainty Partisan tot
lettes, with very high heels to their
boots, and each carries long bamboo
rod. The gentlemen are got up in prop
er costume for "la chasse" and bear
sticks. Then they all adjourn to some
marshy spot where frogs abound and
begin fishing. The bait is a piece of
raw meat tied to a string at the end
of the bamboo.
The ladies do the fishing, and as soon
as one sees that frog has swallowed
the bait she gives violent jerk to the
rod, which brings the frog out onto
the land. The attendant spOrtsmen
then fall upon the ferocious animal
and slay it with their sticks. The la
dies sometimes also join in the last ia
tai act, but the men always try to dis
suade them, as in their excitement
they frequently mistake a mans head
or foot for the frog and the sport be-
comes too dangerous.

HAS MOTHER-IN-LAW STORY.
Rockefeller. Jr., Thus Early in His
Married Career. Gets on a Pop
uIar WitticIsm.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was the
principal speaker at the annual din
ner of the Young Mems Bible Class,
Mr.. Rockefeller, who has only been
married a few weeks, made so bold as
to talk of women and mothers-in-law.
He was the last speaker, but he was
loudly applauded. Mr.. Rockefeller
told this mOther-in-law story:
"a young man and his wife had
lived for years, and not always pleas
antly, with the wife's mother. At
last the old lady died-or, at least,
they thought she had died. The pail
bearers carried her coffin down the
front steps and one of them slipped.
The coffin struck tree, the lid came
off, and then it was found that the
mother-in-law had not died at all, but
was only in a trance.
''Well, she lived for some years aft
er that, and then she died again-this
time permanently. And as the pail
bearers approached that same tree at
the foot of the steps the young man
stopped weeping, turned to the man
who had slipped, and whispered: BE
careful, Sam; don't slip this time"

THE NEW PRINCE OF WALES.
Hall Speech Calls Forth Favor
able Comment

The evolution of the prince of
Wales from sailor into an orator
causes more comment and satisfac-
ton than any event of the week. His
Guild Hall speech was perfectly free
from that platitddinous element
usually noticeable in royal utterances
in England. His declaration that the
old country must wake up if it want
ed to hold its own almost took his
hearers breath away, but it has pro-
duced in all sections of the press
praise quite untainted by servility
1t is probable that the prince was
not entirely responsible for the con-
struction of the speech, as he used
copious notes. Yet his delivery, earn
estness and willingness to commit
himself to such sentiments have
raised him higher in the estimation
Of the people than any previous ac-
ton. Indeed, several of the papers
declared that the elocution of Lord
Salisbury, Lord Rosebery and Mr..
Chamberlain fell quite fat after the
prince of Wales effort. "Unquestion-
ably the best speech delivered at the
breakfast" is the Spectators COM
ment.
He used his opportunity by say
ing things of distinct political i'm
port, constitutional propriety being
none the less punctiliously saved"
