| Ashby. "A good day for ducks" The
general was not witty, but had a
slender vein of humor, which found
expression in brief phrases.
1t may not be amiss to say that
Gen. Lees popularity with the young
ladies of Lexington excited no little
envy among the students. The girls
had an ambition 10 have it to say
tnat Gen. Lee had kissed them. As
the general was gallant enough to
avail himself of this weakness. there
were instances that were narrowing
enough to the feelings OF students who
happened to be in love with some of
LeXington's pretty girls. The dears
not only did not conceal their par
TALLY to the general, but boosted of
it to lovers to whom they denied like
favors. l recall an instance of this
dignified OSCILLATION on the highway in
the suburbs where boarded hasten
to say that l was not acquainted with
the young lady. She was awfuly
pretty, and the students agreed that
in this case they would have done the
same had they enjoyed the generals
opportunity. The incident seems,
however, to prove that however stern
he might be with men, the general
could. on occasion, concede some
thing to the ladies.
The respect in which the students
held Gen. Lee is illustrated by his
success in quelling revolt at Christ
mas. 1861, when the faculty had re-
fused to grant a weeks holiday. a
paper was signed by the boys pledg-
ing the signers not to attend lectures
during the week between Christmas
and New Years. The feeling was
shown in rhyme, circulated among
the students at this time, describing
alleged incidents OF the faculty meet
ing.
Affairs looked threatening in the
college world for time, but Gen. Lee
ended the trouble as soon as he heard
of it by announcing that all who sign
ed the paper about cutting all lectures
for a week should be at once dis
missed. IF all sign it," he said,
I'll lock up the college and put the
keys in my pocket" Signatures were
erased, and the rebellion at once col
lapsed.. Such was the feeling Gen.
Lee inspired that opposition to his
expressed wishes was not to be
thought of for an instant.

mission, Justice Fitzgerald read writ
ten memorandum which he had pre-
pared from the minutes of the court.
He based his decision on the conflict
of afidavits as presented by the op-
posing sides, saying they were too di-
ametrically at odds to permit of a de-
cision other than in favor of an i'm
partial inquiry.
Messrs. Hartridge and OReilly went
| with Mrs. Evelyn Thaw to the Tombs,
and there in the hospital ward they
met the prisoner. This ward had been
placed at their disposal because of
the crowd in the usual consultation
room. The brothers of the defendant
did not go to the Tombs but hurried
up town with the news Of the commits
sion to their mother and sisters who
were waiting in their apartments. /
Thaw had OWNED the result of the |
conference with Justice Fitzgerald |

PLANT BEDS NOT
BURNED PROPERLY
One Cause of Grass and Weeds
Coming up Says PRECEDENT
Berry of A. S. of E.

Henry Berry, president of the Da-
viess county union of the American
Society of Equity, does not believe
that there is a man in Daviess coun-
ty mean enough to SOW grass seed in
his neighbours plant bed. Mr. Ber-
ry said in speaking of the reported
destruction of plant beds in the east
ern portion of the county, that there
had never been any lawlessness or
vandalism in Daviess county by the
farmers and that he did not believe
any would exist. Mr.. Berry says that
he does not believe that the plant bed
which were ruined by grass seed were
burned properly.
There is a scarcity of wood and
brush over the county" said Nh Ber-
ry, land the farmers are not burning
their plant beds as properly as they
once did. | have had grass seed to
come up in my plant beds and ! am
sure that no one scattered the seed
over the beds. Then, too, the past two
years have been fine years for weed
crops. The seeds from weeds have
been blown to places where weeds were
never seen before. If grass seeds were
seen on top of the plant beds of course
that is pretty good evidence that they
were scattered there by some person,
but / do not know that to be fact.
Il feel confident that we have as
law abiding set of farmers in Daviess
county as any county in Kentucky and
cannot believe that any member of
the American Society of Equity would
be guilty of destroying his neighbours
property. "-Omensboro Messenger.

Southern Cotton Manufacture
and Protection.

1t will double interest and surprise
the majority of even well informed
people to learn that South Carolina
ranks second among the cotton manu-
featuring States and North Carolina
third. Had John c. Calhoon been
told that this would be the case in
the earliest part of the twentieth
century he would havesaid "Impos-
sible;" and yet in few years the
South will far outrank the North in
the production of cotton goods, and
it should outrank the world. The lat
ter, however, is possible only under
one condition-continued Protection.

Not yet can the South manufacture

hire and Massachusetts, but in time
it will be able to, five have con-
tinued Protection.
The present rates are too low, as
is shown by annual importations ex-
ceeding $50,OO0,00O in value. We have
free raw material in this one indus
try. We have every advantage OF
proximity in coal for power as well
as material, and yet we send our cot
ton abroad to be made into cloth,
more than $50,00O,000 worth of which
we buy back. 1t is the most signifi-
cant lesson in any American indus
try.
Twenty-Five years ago the value OF
the product of South Carolina cotton
mills was $30,OOO,OOO. To-day it is
nearly $60,OOO,OO0. Twenty-Five years
ago the value of the product in the
mills of North Carolina was less than
million and half. To-day 1t is
over $5O,O0O,0OO. In Georgia the value
of the product to-day is nearly $4O,-
100000. The increase in capital in
vested, in number Of employees and
in wages corresponds with the in
crease in value of product.
The increase will continue if-Pro-
lection continues. Revision of the
Tariff means blow to Southern in
dustry. If revision comes it will
not be confined to single schedule;
it will reach all schedules. 1t will be
well for the voters of the South to
understand this and join the party
that safeguards American industries
and American labor.

Rest is the great restorer. We tire
our muscles by exercise and then rest
to restore them; yet a great many Of
us do not stop to think how little
rest we give to our stomachs. AS a
usual thing no part of our bodies is
so generally Overworked as our di-
gestiye organs. A tired and over
worked stomach will give signs Of
distress to which we pay no heed un-
til at last Dyspepsia takes hold. In
digestion is just a warning,of further
consequences. Kodol is a most thor
ough stomach relief. 1t digests what
yon eat and gives the stomach the
needed rest and greatly assists in re-
storing it to its normal activity and
usefulness. Kodol is sold on a guar
antee relief plan. 1t is sold here by
all druggists. m

COAL ORIGINATED
FROM VEGETATION
Which Was Brought Under Wa
ter and Changed by Heat
and Pressure.

Coal Is believed to be made up of
the remains of trees and plants,
which grew on the earth in dense for
est before man or any other animal
had appeared. Changed by pressure,
dampness and heat, this mass of veg
etable matter became kind of car
bon mixed with bitumen. 1t is sup
posed that for thousands of years
greater forest of plants grew up and
died, and were followed by other
plants until the swamps and lowlands
became filled up, thick, closely pack
ed beds of vegetable matter. These
were in some way brought under wat
er, and then the vegetable matter rot
ted and became packed so closely as
to be turned into peat. This was in
time changed by heat and pressure
into brown coal called Ignite, which
by a third change became coal. Coal
is divided into three kinds according
to the amount of bitumen mixed with
the carbon. They are anthracite,
which is a hard or stone coal, and
has the least bitumen; bitumious
coal, which contains more bitumen
than anthracite, and camel coal
which has the most bitumen. Coal
was used in Britain by the Romans
for smelling iron, and, perhaps, for
warming.
About the end of the thirtieth cen
fury it was sent to London from New
castle for use by smiths and trades
people, because wood had become
scarce, but people thought it poisoned
the air and in 1906 its use was order
ed stopped by the King, under penal
ty of death. The prejudice against
coal continued in England down to
the seventeenth century and in France
to the nineteeth. 1t was not until
1872 that the way to burn anthracite
coal in furnaces was found out. In
1917 Joseph White and Erkine Haz-
ard, who had a factory for making
wire at the falls of the Schuylkill in
Pennsylvania, got a lease of coal land
in the Lehigh Valley for an ear of
corn year, so little did people know
of it's value. In 1920 they sent 365
tons to market. In 1927 a railroad
was built from their mines to Mauch
Chung. 1t was a gravity road
The cars ran down by their own
weight and were hauled back by
mules. Since then coal mining has
become one of the greatest industries,
and coal has become one of the most
necessary and most useful articles in
the world.
