He says that there is wrong impression as to the number of head of cattle left in Southern Arizona. Be- cause of the heavy shipments and the losses during the drouth great many people have come to the conclusion that there are few heads of cattle left. But MT. King says they are always to be found when man goes after them. Inspector Scholeheld recently stated to the Post that there was 60,0OO head of cattle in Pima county, and Mir. King will not likely depend upon this county alone for the stock he will ship.-Tuc- son Post.

 At the urgent solicitation of the Phoenix board of trade, Gov. Murphy has issued the following call:
 Executive Department of Arizona. Office of the Governor, Phoenix.-To the People of the Territory: believe that the time is most pr0pitiOus for the admiss of Arizona into the Union as State. And in my judgment if our citizens act with unanimily and ear nestness, the Fifty-seventh Congress can be induced to pass an enabling act for the purpose during the coming win ter.
 The great benefit of such promo tion can scarcely be estimated. The principal questions involved have been thoroughly studied and are well under stood, and believe the people of Ari. zona are practically unanimous for ad- mission. Now is the time for action. The great boon we have hoped for so long is within our reach. The press and the various commercial associa- tiOns are aroused to the importance of enthusiastic and persistent work, with out which we cannot hope for success. Individual interests and personal am. btiOns should not be considered. State- hood is not political question. We should all work together Us one man, democrats and republicans alike, far mers, graziers, miners, corporations, large and small, and all territorial in. terests of whatsoever nature should be united on this most important measure for the public good. Political differ ences can be decided at the polls after statehood Is attained.
 At the request of the Phoenix board of trade, and in response to recOmmen. dations of prominent cl.izens all over the territory, 1 hereby call for public conference, to be held in the city of Phoenix, Saturday. the 26th day of Oc- tober, for the purpose of devising the OCSJ ouu iuCuIS to SCCutC NOoIC- hood, and to prepare plan of proce ed ings therefor. And in order that full representation be had from all the counties of the territory, recommend that the executive committees of the county central committees, Democratic and Republican, of each county, meet and appoint delegates to said confer ence, not more than ten nor less than five from any county; that the mayors of each incorporated city appoint four delegates to represent the municipal ity, and the president of each board of trade or commercial association ap- point four delegates to represent said board of trade or commercial assOcia- tion; and I earnestly advise that the best and most influential citizens be selected as delegates. regardless of their political faith or business calling.

Mr.. NORWOOD INTERVIEWED.
Tells Of Hopkins County Mining Condi-
tions to,Frankfort Correspondent.

Special Correspondence Of Louis
vile Evening Post.
Frankfort, KY, May 13.-Ex-
Mine Inspector Charles J. Nor
wood, Of darlington, KY, is in
Frankfort today. When inter
viewed concerning the reports of
strikes among the operators
among the coal mines in Hopkins
county, Mr.. Norwood said:
''There have been no strikes
and no good reason for believing
that there will be. The men are
non-union miners and are salts
fed with their wage scale. There
has been an effort among union
labor leaders to organize the
miners in Hopkins, Christian
and Webster counties the only
counties in the western field now
unorganized. The labor leaders
have ordered strikes with a view
to getting the miners into line,
but no strike has occurred.
"The miners have been told
that, their condition would be
better by amalgamation with the
union, but SO far all efforts to or
ganize them have proved fruit
less"
In speaking of the conditions
in Hopkins county, Mr.. Norwood
said:
"The output of the mines has
been greater during the past
year than in any previous year,
and everything is moving along
smoothly. No trouble is antici-
pated."

Oldest Preacher.

Members of the Christian
church will be interested to know
that the oldest preacher in Ken
lucky is member of that organ
ization and resides in Lewis
county. The preacher referred
to is Rev. Henry Miller, who was
born Sept. 10, 1910. His father
was a pioneer who preached in
Kentucky in the religious move
ment which eliminated in the
formation of the Christian church.
John Miller came from Shelby
county where Rev. Henry Miller
was born. He began preaching
in Indiana at the age of 20. In
1854 he was employed by the
Kentucky Board of Missions to
preach in Lewis, Carter, Green
up, Bath, Rowen, Boyd and
johnson counties. He organized
almost all the Christian churches
in the county, and in that time
baptized 5000 people.-Dixon

S. II. Jones, Railroad Secretary of

A mems meeting will be held at

at the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South. The coming of Mr.. Jones,
occupying as he does, an important
place in the railroad work of the as
sociation in Kentucky, is an import
ant event in Y. NJ. c. A. work in
Darlington. There is a hope cher
ished by Y, NJ. G. A. workers here
and throughout the State that at the
proper time something definite may
be done here in the way of a special
railroad work. For this reason es-
pecially the Sunday meetings are of
lively interest to Darlington peo-
pie. A cordial invitation is extended
to all who are interested. 1t is likely
good delegation may come from
Madisonville, and it is hoped, from
other quarters of the county as we'll.

Striking Against the Court.

The miners employed by the
Taylor Coal Company came out
on strike Monday morning be-
cause that company obeyed the
temporary Injunction granted in
the Hopkins Circuit Court re-
straining coal operators from
collecting dues from their en-
ployes to contribute to the fund
to keep up the work of trying to
organize the miners of Hopkins
county and close these non-union
mines. Two hundred men is the
number reported to have walked
out and it is claimed in the dis
patches that there are nearly one
thousand miners in Ohio county,
all of whom may join this strike.
There all kinds of strikes on
record and must ever be where
the actions OF workmen are con-
trolled by the Intelligent" sal
aried agitator, but this strike
against the enforcement Of
court order is one of the most
unique in the whole category of
strikes. The Ohio county strik-
ers, to be consistent must con-
tinue their idleness until May
29th at the least, as that is the
date set for hearing the motions
in the injunction cases and moth
ing can possibly be done before
that day.
