They are small hamlets, the population
of which is in the hundreds.
The Pocahontas coal mines at Poca-
hontas are among the most celebrated
producers of fast steaming Goals in
the world. They share with the Welsh
mines the favor of steamship owners,

shipbuilders generally use hand-picked
Pocahontas coal for the speed trials of
the warships built by them.

death. angina pectoris." he said. ''is a
hardening OF the arteries located near the
heart and that supply blood TO the heart.
1t is a disease that develops with extreme
slowness but usually eliminates with death

signs do not always accompany the disease
and having observed these other symptoms.
1 feared he might be afflicted with the dis
ease. Sometimes people will go on for
years with angina pectoris and betray no
physical signs by which one can detect the
trouble they have. The fact that Judge
Woods felt badly at o'clock might have
furnished hint of the end If a physician
had been present, but the unskilled observer
would scarcely be disturbed"

r.. O. HAwKINs's TRIBUTE.
He Had Known Judge Woods for a
Number of Years.

Roscoe o. Hawkins said Of Judge Woods:
MY first acquaintance with him was when
he came from his home in Goshen to In
dianapolis as a candidate for judge of the
Supreme Court OF Indiana. He became the
Republican nominee. and was afterwards
elected. During his career on the Supreme
Bench he proved himself to be one of the
strongest judges the Supreme Court of In
diana has ever had. Ee was ap
pointed United States district judge
for the district of Indiana by Pres
ident Harrison, and during Cleve-
lands term, when Judge Gresham was
appointed secretary OF state. Judge Woods
was chosen United States circuit judge to
fill the vacancy thus created. Ever since
Judge Woods has resided in Indianapolis
L have known him veIV Vwell and can tes-
tify to his high ability as a lawyer and
his great strength as jurist
'One Of his most noticeable traits was his
eminent fairness on the bench. He al
ways listened closely TO arguments and de-
cided a case after hearing ii without the
slightest prejudice or previous judgment
in the matter. He was one of those men
who would change his mind IL he became
convinced that he was wrong, which is a
characteristic that is unfortunately lacking
al times in the judiciary"

POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE
Ex-SECRETARY HERBERT's PLEA TO
ALABAMA DEMOCRATS.
Purity of the Ballot and Greater Free
dom from Party Trammels a Ne
cessity-Present Conditions.

MONTGOMERY. Ala, June 2S-Ex-sec-
retary of the Navy II. A. Herbert to-day
addressed the Alabama Bar Association on
the subject OF the Duties and Response
bilities of the American Lawyer I'm the
Twentieth Century" The constitutional
convention adjourned in honor of his ad-
dress and the address was delivered to
both bodies in the State Capitol. He de-
clared that the country had entered upon
the most critical period Of its existence.
New complexities" he said, "are aris-
ing. Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and Alaska
and the Philippines demand solution. Shall
we return them or abandon them? Shall
we govern them or let them govern us?
Two perils assailed us prior to 1850 in the
days of our infancy. The Hartford con-
vention threatened disruption and South
Carolina attempted notification. Since 1850
four crises have been passed-the civil war.
reconstruction, the attempted Impeachment
of Andrew Johnson, the Hayes-Tilden con-
test. Reconstruction gave the ballot 20 the
negro and this led to ballot-box frauds in
the South where the ballot had always
been sacred. Fraud stalks through the
land like a pestilence in the line. The line
is imaginary between counting out the ne
gro because his vote is cast for the wrong
candidate and counting out the white man
because his vote is obnoxious. Honest
elections are the only salvation of the coun-
try. Let all educated men proclaim aloud
that except upon the basis of honest cleo
tions the natural outcome OF republican
government is discomfort, unrest, instabil-
ity, and, finally, revolution"
The speaker turned to the remedy and de-
clared it to be greater independence Of
thought and action. less slavish adherence
to parties. The ''yellow-dog' theory OF
politics he said, will not do. Worthy men
must not surrender their power In party
and state to tricksters. Every citizen must
be sovereign TO act. The power Of the
independent press of the North and South
was dwelt upon at length and its influence
for good to the South in the past twenty
five years was described.
After declaring that the Expansion Re-
publcans" had taken the position, in re-
gard to inferior races. held by the old De-
mocracy. the speaker discussed the Su-
preme Court decision in the Porto Rican
cases and said the main declaration was
correct He regretted IL was not unan-
imous. He discussed the great industrial
growth of the country and said that the
conditions were changed that we must
seek the markets OF the world. An eco
nomic revolution is upon US. All Europe
is upset by our growth and power and is
STUDYING our methods. There may be
great industrial war In the future, he said.
Tariff reform is a crying need, as the rem
edy for most of the evils of the corpora
tions and trusts.
