The testimony of w. w. Jenkins,
chief clerk of the West Kentucky
Coal company. which operates extern
sive colleries in Union and Webster
counties, was that the contracts of
the Illinois Central railroad with the
coal companies on its lines we're for
steady coal at from go cents TO $1.1O
Ia ton. Often the railroad would con-
fiscate numerous cars of lump coal
for its own use and would only pay
the steam, or mixed coal prices.
Should the coal companies make a
claim for higher price for the lump
coad 1t would have to go through the
claim department and would prob
ably be six months or year before
the companies could get their money.
This often forced the companies to
accept the steam coal price.
Mr. jenkins said that often he
would have as many as six cars of
coal loaded sold and billed to GUS
toners and the Illinois Central rail-
road would confiscate the coal and
his customers would be disappointed.
A standing order seems to prevail
among the agents Of the Illinois Gem
trail railroad to confiscate all coal I'M
til its demand was supplied, no mat
ter what the conditions or circum-
stances are. The witness also charg-
ed that he could get no cars at MS
mines when l. n. Wheatcroft, who
owned the Togo mines near him and
who built the railroad from Black
ford to Dixon, connecting with the
Illinois Central, could get all the cars
he wanted He said he saw strings
of empty cars going to the Wheatcroft
mines when he could get nothing Nike
what he wanted He said the agents

Hilarious Mysteries.
An amusing story comes from an
exchange while it relates to come
dy and may be spurious, it's worth
repeating since now It has local sig
nificance A town character known
as Hick Henderson, subject to VIC
lent hiccoughs, especially after i'm
billing freely of beer, is a resident OF
a certain western town. A comedy
of renown known as Hooligan's
Troubles, was announced to appear
at the local theater. Two of the town
anticipating the fun of get
ting Hick slightly beered up to the
show and getting him to hiccough-
ing LOUDLY, possibly between acts,
provided themselves with three tick
cts and invited him to attend. but in
getting him in condition, they imbib-
ed in gleeful anticipation of the fun
and got an unusual load themselves.
But they got there. The fun, of
course. was fast and furious, and they
all got to laughing and finally roar
ing. when Unexpectedly at the ter
mination of the awful funny Jit-Ju
crazy dance, by Hooligan, Jones, the
friend went into ysterics-his friend
followed, hiccoughs suit, and Hick
had to get them both out into the
open air to prevent riot in the gall
lery. The Hooligan troubles COM
pany in Hooligan's Troubles, appear
at The Kentucky tonight. It is to be
hoped there will be no Hics or Hicks
in the audience.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 29.-The COM

dent of the Hillside Coal company,
against the Illinois Central Railroad
charging discrimination in
the distribution of coal cars, the par
tiaa hearing of which was held at
Greenville ten days ago and which

to be far reaching in its scope. In
fact, what seemed at first an insig-

brushed aside in a day or two, will
likely be an important link in a gem
eral investigation CT the methods of
the coal combine of the United

present investigation and there is no
telling how soon it will take a hand

Hanford's OpportunIty.

me production OF 'JulluS Caesar
by Chas. b. Hanford Wednesday at
Kentucky, must Inevitably awaken
memories which are cherished with
reverent interest by every student on
the American stage. When Booth
and Barrett formed their famous part
|nership and produced "Julius Caesar
on scale Of magnificence which
actonished both the theatrical pro-
fession and the public, there was some
curiosity as to who would play the
part of Mare Antony" 1t was i'm
mediately decided that Mr. Booth
would play "Brutus" and that Mr.
Barrett would play "Cassius.' These
two distinguished players were
prompt in fixing on Charles B. Han
ford. for the other prominent. role
1t was brilliant part for the young
actor and he embraced it with be-
fitting artistic enthusiasm. 1t is a
somewhat remarkable fact that Il
was a performance in broad farce
that paved the way for Mr.. Hanford's
appearance as a tragedian. When
Robson and Crane were playing the
|"Comedy Of Errors" Hanford was en-
gagged in the supporting company with
the part Of "Aegeon." Despite Its
merry surrounding there is a strain Of
pathos and dignity In this character
which Mr. Hanford brought out in a
manner that attracted the notice of
Lawrence Barrett and led to the sub
sequent distinguished association
which paved the way for the career
Hanford has since enjoyed. Mr..

1t developed Saturday in the hear
ing before the railroad commission
through the testimony Of ]. II. Rudi-
sell, manager of the Memphis Coal
company, which deals in coal at Mem
phis, that during the past few months
he could secure adj the coal he want
ed from the Madison Coal corporation
which operates about twenty-five coal
mines in Southern Illinois, but he
could get very little from Kentucky
The headquarters of this company is
in st. Louis, Mo. Mr.. Rudisell said
that he received telegram after tele-
gram from the company urging him
to buy their COAL He said that he
could get twenty to forty carloads at
a time and could get the coal the next
day after it was ordered.

Very Few for Kentucky Product.

While he could get all he wanted
from the Illinois, mines on the Illinois
Central he said he was able to secure
but little of the Kentucky coal, also
on the Illinois Central, which he pre-
ferred to handle and which his Gus
toners wanted. His testimony was
that he could have sold ten times as
much Kentucky coal as he could get.
He had a contract with the Hillside
Coal company. but the company was
unable to I'LL the contract because
the Illinois Central railroad would
not furnish the cars. The witness
filed the kilograms from the Madison
Coal corporation begging him to buy
its coal, as 1t could furnish him all
he could sell.

PROSPERITY,

Ordinarily 1t would take a very WV
Id Imagination on the part Of a resi-
dent Of this section to, at this season,
find any considerable warrant for en-
thusiasm either over existing condi-
tions or future prospects. But now
the situation is very different.
A few weeks ago the crop outlook
was rather doubtful. Cotton especial
ly, was late, and 1t did not show up
a great deal of promise. Since then,
however, corn has been making good
according to the promise that was be-
ing evidenced at the time, and cotton
has come out so much as to furnish
ground for controversy over the ques-
ton as to whether or not the pros
poets are as good as they have ever
been at this time.
In discussing the situation with the
writer last Saturday, a prominent bus
mess man of Rock Hill made this OBJ
seryation: Last year there was much
complaint as to the scarcity Of farm
labor and the complaint held up all
through the year. The situation con-
tinued to look blue at the beginning
of this year. I am not able to see
that the scarcity was supplied by any
noticeable increase in the number Of
laborers. I venture, however, that
the acreage Of both corn and cotton
is larger this year than last year and
I cannot see that there has been much
loss for lack Of labor. Just where the
difference has come in do not like to
say positively; but l think the ex-
planation is. to be found In the fact
that labor has been used to better ad-
vantage: there has been less time
wasted and the seasons have been
more favorable for work. Anyhow. l
have never seen better prospects for
abundant crops"
The situation in other lines OF in
dustry and business Is not very differ
ent from that to be noted on the
farms. People who have desired to be
busy have been having no trouble
finding employment. They have had
rather more trouble in keeping up
with their work, and a problem that
has been coming to the fore with un-
usual persistence Of late Is like this:
IF the usual slack season Is to be cut
out this summer, everybody being so
rushed with work that 1t Is almost i'm
ing to be next fall and winter when
the present pace will probably be
doubled? How are we to keep up
with such a situation?"
The normal situation in this coun-
ty for a good many years past has
been plenty Of everything except
money. Now the banks are bulging
with deposits as they have never bulg-
ed before and 1t seems that Of all the
elements that enter into hustle, prog
ress and prosperity, money Is probably
the most plentiful.

This ought to give some idea Of the
interest the people are taking in the
matter of qualifying themselves to
vote. The board of supervisors OF
registration are on duty whole days
without issuing a single certificate.
Besides the eight citizens who quail
flied themselves to vote, as many more
called in to compare their certificates
with the book and see that they are
all right,
This matter Of yerifcation is a wise
precaution. 1t has frequently hap
pened when citizens who believed
themselves fully qualified to vote, pre-
sented themselves at the polls to do
so, they would find that the numbers
on their certificates did not correspond
with the numbers opposite their names
on the books AS the result they were
not allowed to vote.
One man who had moved from
Bethany to Glover, applied yesterday
for a transfer; but was unable to get
it for the reason that he did not have
his old certificate along. This was in
accordance with law, and others who
may seek transfers will do well to
bring their old certificates.
Where a voter who has previously
been registered has lost his certificate,
he must apply to the clerk of the
court for certfication of his previous
registration. There can be no charge
for such certification.

York county to attend the meeting In

Mr.. Watson carefully. That there
should be a branch of the Union In
York county goes without saying and
that there will be should be taken as
a matter of course; but as to whether
1t will be Of real benefit to the farmers
OF the county or Of the Union as
whole will depend upon the kind of men
by whom it is organized.
We are told that the Farmers Union
is to eschew politics-that is that its
members are not to be allowed to make
use of the organization to advance
their political ambition. Although a
correct and vital principle this is diff
ficult one to enforce. 1t is the rock on
which the Farmers Alliance founder

We believe that the farmers can or

The only advice we have to offer in con-

in this county is that care should be
taken that no self-seeking politicians
be taken into the administrative man.

THE Anderson Daily Mail and THE
ENQUIRER are in pretty close agree
ment as to what should be done with
Clemson college: but The Mail has
our somewhat figurative
remark about the practicability OF
raising the money with which to ac-
quire ownership by putting the college
on half rations a year. Our friend
seems to think that the suggestion
was meant to be taken literally and in
Inmates that the boys have not been
getting enough to eat as 1t has been.
But we have been misunderstood. AS
we understand it, Clemson college has
more money than its management has
been able to spend intelligently and
economically, and our idea is that 1t
could do on about half for year or
been effected No, we would not think
of starving the boys any more. The
consideration they have been receiving
has been slim enough all along. But
we would certainly like to see disso-
luton of the partnership between the
beneficiaries of the Clemson will and
the state. We think this Is rather too
much Of one-sided affair. The state
really has very little showing. 1t Is
quite natural that the crowd repre-
senting the will should become stick
together body. disposed to do as 1t
pleaSes. and that the representatives
of the state count for nothing much
except with the help Of the lever by
which they may curtail or shut off
appropriations. We think that the
state has the small end of the bargain.
That it will kick out some day, we are
quite sure, and it is our op!;.ion :hat
the sooner it kicks out the better 1t
will be for the welfare of the college.
