NEGRO BURGLAR KILLED.
Rev. Harralson Shoots a ProwIer
at His Back Door-Another
Runs Away.

Madisonville, Ky., Oct. 21.-At
an early hour this morning the
Rev. Eugene Harralson, pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, at this place, shot and
killed a negro named Jim Lewis.
Several times during the night
the Rev. Harralson had been dis
turbed by someone trying to
break into his house and had
gone down stairs to see what the
disturbance was. ALI had gotten
quiet, and he returned to bed,
only to be awakened some time
later by a vigorous attempt to
force through the door into
room occupied by Mrs. Holloman,
a very old woman.
Mr.. Harralson again took the
lamp and his pistol and went
down stairs. Failing to get into
Mrs. Holloman's room, the
would-be burglar tried the kitch-
en- door. Mr.. Harralson turned
the light down low, opened the
door quickly and fired In the
night.
1t was afterward learned that
the shot pierced the negro's
heart. He staggered few feet
away and fell dead. 1t was day
light this morning when it was
discovered that the negro had
been killed. He had taken off
his shoes before trying to enter
the house.
1t is believed that Lewis had a
confederate, as a man was heard
by the women in the front room
running down the pavement inn
medfataly after the shot was
fired.
The Rev. Harralson has only
been citizen of Madisonville
about three weeks, having been
sent here by the Methodist Con-
ference that recently met in
Bowling Green, and during his
stay he has impressed the people
of all denominations by his sim
cerity and straightforwardness.
He is already popular as a man,
and though the affair is to be re-
gretted, the citizens are as unit
in assuring the Rev. Harralson
that he did his duty as citizen
in protecting his family, and say
they are all ready to stand by
him.
Some time ago Lewis left Mad
isonville and went to Princeton.
He returned yesterday on the
train.
The verdict of the Coroner's
jury is "justifable homicide, "
and the public indorse the ver-
dict.
Attempts during the night
were also made to break into the
residence of the Hon. Polk Laf-
foon and others in the neighbor-
hood.

After Eleven Months intimidation,
Coercion and 0uiIaWry the Non
Union Mines Continue TO
Run With Full
Forces.
OF MANY ouTRAots
In Peaceful, Prosperous Hopkins. Which
Have Been Recorded Before
the World.

The principal happenings of
the movement to coerce the Hop
kins county miners to join the
United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, beginning with the "per-
mission to strike,n November IL,
1000 and the opening of union
headquarters at Madisonville are
here recorded in concise form
and chronological order.
The attempts to intimidate and
alarm, to kill and destroy, have
been so numerous and have been
extended over such a length of
time that the list, though care
fully compiled from local records
and daily dispatches, must be
incomplete. But this is enough,
and it should satisfy any law
abiding citizen Of Hopkins coun-
ty-as to quantity.
1900.
Nov. 17.-John Mitchell, President
United Mine Workers of America,
addresses letter to Hopkins County
mine owners asking them to meet
his representatives at Madisonville
on Nov. ~
Nov. 19.-Labor agitators, including
District President Wood, arrive at
Madisonville, open headquarters,
claim "a majority of the men are
ready to close work when ordered to
do so,v and threaten to-call a strike.
Nov. 22.-Operators ignore Mitchelrs
conference" saying their men are
non-union, are satisfied and have no
grievances. Wood threatens to or
der strike TO take effect Nov. 20.
Nov. 23.-"Indianapolis, Nov. 3D.
President Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers of America, to-day
granted two thousand miners Of
Hopkins County, KY, permission to
strike tomorrow. They claimed to
be thoroughly organized and will de-
mand higher wages"
Nov. 24.-President John Mitchell an
nounces he will order strike in Hop
kins County Monday, Nov. 26. Wood
says so too. Sheriff Honkins issues
proclamation against intimidation Of
or interference with miners by peo-
pie of other counties and states, and
commands 'such evil disposed per-
sons" not to "congregate in public
places in the county, or march
through the county in squads or
crowds in a threatening manner"
Nov. 25.-"Sheritf Hankins has sworn
in number Of extra deputies and
Madisonville police force increased"
Nov. 26.-The day Of the strike order
''union expected the men to come out
at noon to-day but none did So"
Strike order a complete failure"
More men worked and more coal was
produced than on any day in the his
tory OF coal mining in Hopkins Coun-
ty. Not a single miner obeyed the
''strike order"
Nov. 27.-"The highest authority
known TO the union mine laborers
has ordered the men at work in
Hopkins County to strike, and out of
total of 1000 operatives not one
has laid down his tools in obedience
to John Mitchell's manifesto. That
no dissatisfaction exists, and that
the miners of Hopkins County are
satisfied with the present conditions
and wish no change, the facts that
have developed amply prove" All
mines operated full capacity.

Let Us Raise More Chickens.

While we point with pride to
the fact that the United States
now leads the nations of the
world in the amount of wealth
and in import and export trade,
and, while all the world knows
of our wonderful wheat and corn
crops and of our output in coal
and iron, and of the enormous
value of our manufactures, very
few know or realize, even among
us at home, that the figures given
by the statistics of the census
year 1900 show that the poultry
and egg business of the United
States reached the enormous to-
tai of nearly $3OO,OOO,OOO, al
though the business is still in its
infancy and is capable of unlim-
tied profitable development.
What we do realize, most of
us who have families with. ~
thy appetites, w.
sntsraav tz ghe malA
basket and a dicker with the
poultry man costs about eighty
cents pair of rather skinny
"broilers" and fifty cents each
for medium-sized grown fowls.
This is higher than the cost of
any other kind of good fresh
meat, reckoning by the pound,
and suggests a source of revenue
for many people who cannot raise
sheep or cattle, but who have
facilities for raising chickens so
convenient to market that the
profit of the huckster or middle
man, an item of Importance to
the farmer or country breeder of
fowls, is saved. But, whether
the business is conducted as
means of livelihood, or simply as
side issue, the raising of fowls
can be made a genuine source of
profit. Having ones own fresh
eggs, with chickens for the table,
is something every one with lot
room for a small chicken run can
have at an outlay too trifling to
be considered.
The value of the egg and
chicken production for the last
year, as given above, was greater
than the combined values of the
gold, silver and iron ore produced
in the country, and yet the great
majority of our people can not
afford to buy chickens for the
table, or even have all the fresh
eggs they want, except for few
weeks, when the hen is most in
dustrious and eggs are cheap.
The business of chicken raising
is so simple and easy that thou
sands of people who now have to
deny themselves the luxury of
chickens and eggs might enjoy
them at their pleasure, with a
fair profit to the producer Gin
