was approached for a loan of a sum
of money. As precautionary
measure he made an inspection. He
stated that he found the ground so

clined to make the investment.
Mr. o. L. Bass, president of the
Marion Mineral Company, and a

formerly lived in Hopkinsville and
together with his neighbor, Mr.. r.

made some heavy investments In the
mining business. This was about
the year 1902. Since that time Mr..
Bass has removed to Florida, the
land Of sunshine, alligators and j.

first money in the pine woods Of the
Carolinas. Immense fortunes have
been accumulated in the last fifteen
years in pine tar. The making Of
pine tar and dyemaking from coal
tar are the healthiest trades in the

Dan Riley is back. We did not
hardly expect him. He is anxious
to get away 90 Texas again with his
family, but the present epidemic of
measles has a firm hold on his family.
1t is very interesting to hear the
news from Texas hot of the bat.
Dan Riley is not the only one who
came back from Texas. There are
others. From what we can learn
Hereford and Portales are fine towns.
Everybody and everybody's brother
in that country is a land agent.
Farms, quartersections, sections and
whole townships change hands at
the twinkle of an eye. The pur-
chaser of today is the seller of to-
morrow and the poor recorded OF
deeds is the most overworked midi
vidual in the whole state. The real
estate agents of those pan handle
towns are certainly up to-date. They
no more and live more in one day
thar the ordinary Kentucky man
does in five days. They own their
own horses and rigs and automobiles
aud their trades and sales are made
with breezy slap dash that quite
takes your breath. A good story is
told of Kentucky tenderfoot. No
doubt the same thing has happened
frequently to other tenderfooted
strangers. Mr.. Tendeifeet alighted
from the train with pocket full of
the long green. He was hungering
and thirstlng after land. He wanted
section about six miles from town.
All was hustle and fuss. He was
carefully slowed away in sixty
horse power automobile, the driver
mounted the front seat and threw
OPEN the throttle. With a honk-i-ty
honk the huge machine tore across
the level country leaving behind a
cloud of dust permeated by a bad
smell. a wordy description of God S
country fell from the agents lips in
continuous stream. In few min
utes they were there. The particu-
lar section suited. The return trip
was made in like manner. With
lightning like rapidity the deal was
closed. The particular section be-
longed to a party in Michigan or
Maine and ii she only knew how

HE rs A GAY OLD BOY.
Evidence Against Robertson Alias
Dixon Is Accommodating.

Half a dozen letters were awaiting
Sheriff Wilkerson when he returned
last night, concerning Robertson,
alias Dixon, the old man held at the
county Jail under a charge of using
the mails to defraud. 1t appears from
these letters that the man is a gay
one and a willing worker of all whom
he meets. One letter is from the
manager of a hotel at Lakin, Kansas,
where Dixon represented himself as a
surveyor and paid his hotel bill by
promise to ''go up town and cash
check" The hotel man thinks 1t
rather significant that while Dixon
forgot to come back and pay the bill,
a small sum of money was missing
from the room of another guest.
Another letter is fro4.l the pro-
prietor of the Baltimore hotel, at
Manhattan where the gayDolds blade
cashed a bogus draft on Dodge CITY
bank and then jumped his board Dill.

General Superintendent.
Letter Is Called Error.
Secretary Russell referred sarcastical-
~ to the letter which Superintendent
Capen of the Postal company sent to
each one of the former employees.
Mr. Capen's letter." he said, was a
mistake. 1t was an appeal to towards,
and there are no towards in our ranks.
This is a life and death struggle, and
the strike can never be broken unless
1t is broken by ourselves. We must win
whether il takes US a week or year.
Among those who is encouraging the
strikers in Chicago is William D. Hay
wood, secretary of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners. On his arrival at the
Union depot he was driven past the
buildings of the telegraph companies.
Haywood and his escorts cheered the
pickets on guard and the latter sent
a note to the Briggs hotel which read:
William D. Haywood: Pickets on
duty at Western Union and Postal COM
panies send congratulations. Hurrah
for Haywood"
On receipt of the note Haywood write
the following message:
"Pickets, Photographers on Strike;
Your note at hand. Stand shoulder to
shoulder. You can't lose. Fraternally.

Organized Labor to Aid
The moral and financial support of all

the strikers at a mass meeting by Pres
ident John Fitzpatrick. In his address
Fitzpatrick took a slap at the national
executive board of the telegraphers'
union and said the men in Chicago could
handle their own affairs without the aid
of outsiders.
1--WE don't care" said Fitzpatrick,
what they do in New York or else
where. Chicago is the hub of the wheel.
This union is the kingpin, and when it
is pulled out the wagon breaks down.
You have pulled 1t out. The only way
the companies can break this strike is
to hoodwink you and cause a stampede.
They hope to get a few to return to work
and in this way create dissatisfaction in
your ranks. 1t may be that the COM
panies will offer to arbitrate. You don't
want to arbitrate.''
Cries of NO" NO" came; from an

What have you got to arbitrator"

have always been opposed to making
contracts with employers. A contract
means that the worker signs away his
rights to strike to assist fellow work
er. Put your conditions up to your en-
ployers and if they don't want to sign
them stay away from them until they
do. When the time comes that you may
need the assistance, morally or finan-
cially of the labor unions of Chicago
you may rest assured that you shall
have that assistance
