Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled
the silly notion that one kind OF
food is needed for the brain, another
for muscles, and still another for
bones. A correct diet will not only
nourish a particular part of the body
but it will sustain every other part.
Yet, however good your food may
be, it's nutriment is destroyed by in
digestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or pre-
vent their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower, the
favorite medicine of the healthy
millions. A few doses aids diges-
tion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes
you feel buoyant and vigorous. You

Truth and the Union.

A man giving his name as 'Mr.
Henry Lacy, of Madisonville, "
got himself interviewed by a
Henderson Journal reporter
Tuesday as TO the mining stu
alton in Hopkins county. Here
is the interview as published in
the Journal:
"Mr. Lacy says the reports of riot
ing and bloodshed gaining circula-
tion are groundless. He admitted
that the union miners are camped at
Madisonville, and are armed, but he
says they have been at all times
peaceable and orderly. He says the
reports of attacks and impending at
tacks have been started by the nom
union men themselves.
"The state of affairs, however"
said Mr.. Lacy, "may cause ultimate
trouble, but up to this time there has
been nothing unusual"
1.-THE man who was shot yesterday,
about which there has been so much
talk, was a farmer, and he was shot
by a Reinecke guard. The negro,
who was slightly wounded by a
union miner, had no connection with
the mine trouble, but the shooting
was the result of personal diff
Guilty"
Mister Lacy's relation to the
union is not known to the writer
but his relation to TRUTH is
easily discernible.

Chapel, ex-Indian fighter and
desperate, is the unions strong
card in these desperate straits
when they have concluded that
unless they may continue to use
force unmolested they cannot
control the busy miners of Hop
kins county and tie up the large
operations of our great coal in
dustry. Some day, yea, even
now, the preponderance of pub
lie opinion is weighing heavily
against the actions of men in in
duential position whose quiet
backing has supported the vic
ious union leaders to the point
where the latter have felt their
strength and have used and are
using armed force to terrorize
the county seat and threaten the
mining property of Hopkins
county. The echo of murderous
shots that have been fired and of
midnight depredations that have
been committed upon peaceful
citizens of Hopkins county, whose
chief desire has been to be let
alone in the pursuit of their vo-
cation, will ring an unwelcome
tune in the ears of these men,
whoever they be. The law abid-
ing citizens of Hopkins county
are not without memory.

Speaking Of Lies.

A Madisonville dispatch to the

This is a fair sample OF a line of
malicious misrepresentation that

Brave Citizens Traduced.

The Madisonville cores pond
ent of the Owensboro Messenger,
or fake writer in the Messenger
office, seems very prolific in false
statements with reference to
Hopkins county matters. The
Messengers version of the sum-
moning of a posse of citizens by
the sheriff on Monday morning is
in full as follows:
During the day two coach loads of
armed men from Darlington, in the
employ of the st. Bernard Coal Com
pany, came over from darlington
and rendered their services to the
sheriff to march out to the union
camp, but the sheriff forbade their
going and ordered them to disperse.
The men who went on the spec
ial train to Madisonville to join
the sheriff's posse were loyal
citizens, ready to aid the sheriff
in any movement to put down
the outlawry that has for days
been practiced by the armed un-
ion men camped in the edge of
the county seat. They were sum-
moned at the same time that
every citizen of Madisonville,
whom the sheriff could reach,
was summoned-to join posse
to suppress the lawlessness that
moved Circuit Judge Num- on
that same morning to telegraph
the Governor that troops were
needed to preserve the peace.
The ninety men who went to
Madisonville on that train from
Darlington, Mortons Gap and
Oak Hill, were mostly deputies,
who had been appointed under
the law, by the sheriff to guard
miners and mining property from
just such depredations as. they
were called to help put down at
Madisonville that morning. And
they were mostly at the time in
the employ of the county, and
not paid by the st. Bernard and
Oak Hill companies.
True, they went voluntarily
when the call came, did not wait
to be conscripted. They had
arms and did their duty as men
and upright citizens.
The sheriff sent his deputy to
darlington that morning to sum-
mon these men, and he did not
summon man anywhere until
after he had consulted with Cir
cult Judge Num-.
This statement is due these
citizens who answered the call to
duty, as many others would have
done that morning, if they could
have been armed. Sheriff Han
kins will doubtless take occasion
to correct the Messengers false
report.

have been sent out by unscrupu-
lous representatives of the union,
whose livelihood depends upon
their ability to blind the men
behind the pick who put up their
expense money from other min
ing fields. And these falsehoods
have been encouraged by certain
people of Hopkins county who
know better but who think they
see in the situation opportunity
for gain personally, CONNER
cially or politically. 1.-THE state
ment is infamously false. Ey-
cry mine in Hopkins county has
n full force of thrifty and con-
tented miners, all of whom are
non-union men. Many of these
men are lifelong citizens of Hop
kins county and many have been
continuously in the employ of
the coal companies of this coun-
ty for periods ranging from ten
to twenty and even thirty years !;
the st. Bernard Coal Company,
which is the pioneer coal opera
tor of the county, having in its
employ today men who helped to
open the first mines thirty years
ago. About fifty per cent of the
two thousand employed miners
in the county are colored and
many of these have been continu-
ously in the employ of the vari-
Gus companies for a number of
years. There, are a number of
twenty-five year colored men,
too, with the pioneer company
referred to. To say nothing of
the many cozy homes owned by
the resident white miners of
Hopkins county, there are even
very many of the colored miners
who own their own comfortable
cottages and follow their daily
avocations honestly and soberly.
Such is the case especially in the
older mining towns of Earling-
ton, Morton's Gap and st. Charles
where from the start the policy
of the operators has been to en-
courage employees to own their
homes.
The miners of Hopkins county
are not aliens, are not vicious
negroes, "ex-convicts" as some
would have us believe, 'import-
ed" for reasons dangerous to the
county. They are Industrious,
contented producers of wealth
for the county and liberal con-
sumers of the county's products.
They have been urgently solicit
ed for nearly year, through !
newspaper and circular and by
word of mouth, to fall out with
their employers and close the
busy operations of the mines.
They have been circularized,
coaxed, cajoled, threatened, set
upon by mobs and beaten; have
been waylaid, led into ambus-
cades on the way to their daily
labor for the support of them
selves and families. Their homes
have been perforated by the bull
lets of midnight assassins time
and again, to the eternal shame
of the county and state in which
they live; and these attacks have
been made upon homes of vari-
GUS station from humblest en-
ploye to that of general manager.
And still these men continue
in their determination to work
under conditions which, they have
found satisfactory and for en-
