KICK REGISTERED
By Breathitt County People Who Oppose
New Judicial District.

A special from Jackson, KY,
says: ga big mass meeting of
the people of this place and of
the country was held here this
week, its object being to protest
against the formation of the new
judicial district. Several strong
speeches were made and series
of red hot resolutions adopted,
together with a petition to the
legislature to kill the bill estab-
fishing the district.
1t was charged that the object
of the bill was wholly selfish and
that it was put on foot by Judge
Hargis in order that they might
be able to retain control of af-
fairs in this county and to enable
them to reinstate the conditions
that have led to the killing of
thirty-eight people in this county
i'll the past two years, without
the punishment of a single one
of the assassins. 1t was declared
to get Judge Riddle out of the
district, knowing that he would
enforce the law. A copy of all
the proceedings will be sent to
the legislature by special mes
senger and a strong effort will be
made to have the bill killed.

GAIN IN OUTPUT.
Hopkins County Coal Mines Make Fine Showing

l3Ol HOPKINS county Output l,o7o'Vio

The gain shown in these fig
ures of 1908 over 1902 is 157, 900
tons, which will be increased
when the final figures are in.
This increase amounts TO about
the total output for the year of
the largest single mine in any
other county in the State.
The st. Bernard Mining Com
pany has passed, for the first
time in its his ;ory, the one mil
lion ton mark for its Hopkins
county mines, producing a total
of 1,0O5, OLA tons coal during
1908. This does not include the
Shamrock mine at Providence.
That mine has been operated by
the st. Bernard Company since
June 1st, and the addition of its
tonnage for the seven months
runs the st. Bernard total to
more than 100000 tons.
The Reinecke Coal Mining
Company stills holds the belt for
the largest single producing
mine, with a tonnage of 291,71S
for year.
In the class of large single pro-
ducing mines the st. Bernard
company has second, third and
fourth places with two others in
same class. The Victoria Coal
Company occupies fifth place in
the State record. In 1902 this
mine was eighth in tonnage in

This statement is "prelimi-
nary" only in that it is the Gus
tom of some companies not to
report the coal used for steam
and heat at the mines and that
sold locally, in their monthly
reports. 1t is necessary, on this
account, for the. Inspector to get
out special report blanks at the
end of the year and send them
for request of additional data.
These supplementary ep ort s,
which are not yet in the hands
of Mr.. Norwood, will add to the
total Of output for the year.
The showing made is very
gratifying in every way, eyidenc-
ing a handsome gain over the
record breaking figures of 1902.
A comparison of tonnage of ont
put for the three years past ia
interesting in the steady gain
made. The figures for 1901 and
1908 are from the "preliminary
