not to warn part of the men at all be-
cause some of them were working for

if he did this who is responsible for

They are making so many useful
substances from the smoke and gases
which formerly were allowed to escape
from coke ovens, that companies which
are so far behind as to use the old-fash-
toned bee hive ovens will have to quit
fighting unions and use the money thus
save in building ovens of q more up
to-date pattern to be in the CONNER
cial swim The bee hive oven has
outlived its usefulness, and the by
products of coal, which formerly were
allowed to escape in the air, are now
taking important places n the CONNER
cial arena. Southern coke burners will
have to abandon their antediluvian
methods in few years to avoid con-
stantly increasing loss. Their business
depends not so much ON their ability
to down organized labor as ability to
grasp existing conditions and make
money out of them.

that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to

a constitutional disease, requires a con-

upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF

present them, for since he has been in
Office he seems to have gone against
the interests of his district in every
way. Just now we would like tC
know what has been gained by having
the rates at Kelly's Ferry cutY II
keeps money from being brought into
our county, which would circulate
among the people and help in the gen.

any reason for this action, on account
of the good that it does, we would like
him to bring it forward.
