Nortonville Coal Co., will soon
leave that company, to accept
position elsewhere. He holds a
first-class certificate as mine
foreman in both Tennessee and
Georgia. John has concluded to
enter the oil business and will
operate oil depots at Nortonville
and perhaps other points in this
section, for a Louisville concern.
The effort of the st. Bernard
Mining Co., to run even a half
day last Saturday proved futile
in the face of the fact that there
was circus at jacksonville.
On any other occasion the mi
ners generally answer the call to
bduty, bat they had for weeks
been looking forward to this big
event, and work they would not.
Much praise is given Messrs. F.
ID. Rash and Singleton Klmmell
for the successful training of the
school of mine foremen, who
lately passed a rigid examination
at Madisonville and now hold
certificates from the State au-
thorities as men well qualified as
mine fOremen, and it is pleasing
to say that already several of
them who now work for the st.
Bernard Mining Co., have re-
celved offers of positions else
where. 1t speaks we'll for the
local coal operators that they
80 train their employees that they
can supply good me when want
ed.
As a result Of the big show on
the Henderson division the past
week the movement of coal was
rather slow, and last Saturday
night found a large amount in
darlington yard with no crews
or engines to move it.
All the mines, since businss
has resumed its normal condition,
report scarcity of labor, and it
seems a fixed fact that during
the summer months about half
time suits a large number of
the miners.
The young boy, who a few
days ago was seriously hurt at
Heola through recklessly at
tempting to jump on and off
moving mine cars, is fast recov-
ering, and will soon be able to
be out on crutches. He was
thrown on the track and several
Of the small cars ran over his
foot and ley. A few years ago a
young boy by the name of Vim
cent, lost one of his legs while
enjoying this same sprot, and it
is considered a miracle how this
boy escaped. 1t is certainly a
warning to the boys to stay off
the cars.
Reports from his New Jersey
home are TO the effect that Mr..
j. b. Atkinson, President of the
ST. Bernard Mining Co., is fast
recuperating and enjoying him
self at his country home.
Coal operators of the East, who
we're effected by the law under

The officers are W. X. Coyle,

r>MTH THE MINES AND MINERS. -

tional, and therefore void. The
problem is a tough one to solve
justly. If the railroads are al
lowed to own mines and produce
coal aud deliver the same on the
market, can they not at their
own free will, so lower the rates
as to completely shut out all
competition in the coal markets2
And on the other hand it looks
like piece of injustice to say
they can not own mines and pro-
duce coal, if they wish to make
an investment.
AS much coal is being shipped
to points in Alabama yet, it
would seem the settlement made
there between the coal operators
and the United Mine Workers
was of no special benefit to eth
er side so far as an increase in
Che product of coal 10 concerned.
Secretary George O. Atkinson
was called away last week on
business, leaving Cashier d. M.
Evans as shipping clerk, and it
is needless to say that the work
was well done, as his many 9TH
er duties.
Over in Illinois they boast of
three mines that each produce
on an averave of 5000 tons of
coal daily.
By the death of John d. An
derson, of Nashville, Tenn the
Empire Coal Co., of Christian
county has lost a valuable presi-
dent and manager. Under his
management the company be-
came prosperous one. Friends
claim that his charitable dispo-
sition had much to do with his
succes.
Coal operators of the Brazil
Indiana coal fields, say that pros
poets are no better than they
have been for ten years past. A
number Of mines that have been
closed for months will soon be
open up and worked at full ca
paclty.
Candidates for Office have be-
come so numerous that the mi
ners are quite naturally in a
quan,lry as to who to support.
In fact it makes little difference
to the laboring man, outside of
his political performance, which
one of the candidates secures the
plum.
Last year the United Kin gdom
produced 267, 1928, 600 tons of coal.
The largest single coal field is
that of Yorkshire whose output
was So, 600, 900 tons. followed by
the Northern fields with $4,000
600 tons, compared with $4,000
600 tons in the South Wales field
and 10000, 900 tons in the Scot
ish field.
One of the most interesting
individually districts of the world
is the Connellsville coke region
of southwestern Pennsylvania.
There are in that territory 36, 900
coke ovens with several hundred
in process of construction. The
output exceeds 20,000,000 tons
of coke a year, Sixty per cent.
OF the total coke product of the
United States is derived from this
district and ninety per cent. of
the coke produced in Penns Viva

ENGLAND'S RICH MEN.

There Are Twenty-One Persons with
 More than 2 oO,OOO n Year.
 Although Great Britain Is doubtless behind America In the number of mil lionaIres residing on her shores, there are twenty-one lucky individuals In England who manage to subsist on in- comes of upward of f5O,00O a year." Such Is the interesting information conveyed in the f1ftieth report of the inland revenue commission, Issued as a blue book, says the London Mail.
 Scotland and Ireland, although by no means devoid of men of money, have no representatives among the exceed Ing f50,0OO" division. IR Scotland, how ever, reside nine persons who possess annual incomes of from f10,0OO to f50,- GOO, while statistics show that ten peo- pie in Ireland have the comfortable sums of anything from f5,OOO to f1O,- GOO a year coming In.

Killed, 5000; injured, 76.cs6. That Is the record Of the American railroads for the year ending June 30 last as compiled by the interstate commerce commission. The figures do not include the persons killed or injured at railroad crossings, DOT those trespassing on equipment or right of way. 1t Is the record of casualties solely for passen- Iers and for trainmen actually on duty sn CT about trains. The increase in the number of killed over tho preceding rear was 715. or more than IS per cent. fhs Increase In the number of injured was 9,577, or over II per cent It Is a Slow and painful process to secure the adoption of devices for the protection sf the lives of passengers and trainmen. because the railroads resist-progress in this direction at every point. It costs money to save lives, and they prefer to avoid the expense. The interstate com nerce commission brings the case against the railroads home in a couple of sentences. It compares the small increase in casualties due to coupling and uncoupling cars and to accidents to men on the tops of freight cars with he heavy increase of accidents to pas sengers due to collisions and derail mentA In the latter case the large total of 1905 was exceeded for the year ander consideration by r per cent. The comparative protection to railroad men ,a the lines noted Is. the commission says, undoubtedly due in large meas are to improvement in the maintenance md care of automatic couplers," an im- provement due only to strenuous efforts on the part of the government. The moral s clear. If the government will take up q broader scale the problem sf forcing the roads to protect their 5assengers from unnecessary accidents results may be secured, but probably ID 10 other way.

BEST PRESCRIPTION
CAN BE EASILY MIXED AT HOME
 AND CURES RHEUMATISM.
Full Directions to Make and Take This Simple Home-Made Mixture Makes Kidneys Filter
 Out Acids.

When an eminent authority an nounced in the Scranton, Pa, Times that he had found a new way to treat that dread American disease, Rheuma- tism, with just common, everyday drugs found in any drug store, the phy- sicians were slow indeed to attach much importance to his claims. This was only few months ago. Today nearly every newspaper in the coun- try, even the metropolitan dailies, are announcing it and the splendid results achieved. It is so simple that any one can prepare it at home at small cost. It is made up as follows: Get from any good druggist Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking in bottle and take in tea spoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. These are all simple in- gradients, making an absolutely harm less home remedy at little cost.
 Rheumatism, as every one knows, Is a symptom of deranged kidneys. It is a condition produced by the failure of the kidneys to properly filter or strain from the blood the uric acid and other matter which, if not eradicated, either in the urine or through the skin pores, remains in the blood, decomposes and forms about the joints and muscles, causing the untold suffering and de formity of rheumatism.
 This prescription is said to be a splendid healing, cleansing and invig- orating tonic to the kidneys, and gives almost immediate relief in all forms of bladder and urinary troubles and back ache. He also warns people in a lead ing New York paper against the dis criminate use of many patent medi- cines.

CAR FOR ROYAL CHILDREN.
The Princess of Wales Has Designed
 Picnic Automobile.

The Princess of Wales Has Designed a Picnic Automobile. The Princess of Wales has her own
 ideas about how an automobile should
 be built. A car embodying some of her own pet features has just been com pleted for her by a prominent firm of English builders Like the king. she
 has shown her preference for the Brit
 ish-bullt article, says the Kansas City Star.
 An attempt has been made to make the new car a picnic vehicle. It Is de signed for the youngsters and folding
 table Is a feature This can be put in position in a few moments for the serv- ing of tea and light refreshments. Tn designing the car her loyal high
 ness stipulated that the two diminutlve seats intended for the children should
 be placed as far as possible from the door, so as to obviate the possibility of
 injury in case of accident. In addition
 to the two seats for children there Is room for three people in the compart- ment.
 The car Is of medium power, 2S-36 horsepower. Its color Is an unusual shade of green and her royal highness' hand Is in evidence there also. She is said to have hit upon the peculiar shade in unique manner. While stroll ling In the grounds of York College,
 Sandrlngham. the princess was struck by an unusual mingling of greens on
 fir tree A bunch of the leaves was obtained to match 1t. The princess is said to be delighted with the result. The young princes and princess are oyerjoyed with the idea of having a big car which can be said to be theirs alone. An unusually large window in
 the back of the car enables them to look out at the rear, a further delight, especially In fast travelling.
