PEACE PROSPECTS ROSTER
Union Men Reported to Be in Large Number Opposed to Recognizing Any Strike If Ordered
 at Providence.

The strike reports regarding the so. ing out of the men on all the trolley lines of the Connecticut company have passed through the crucible of last night and the fact that there was no strike last night and that the owl cars were taken out of the barns by the regular crews indicated that the pos-- sibility of strike Is not only remote but very small. The fact that the men have not been notified to strike so as to tie up the road for Labor day the last holiday of the summer and the day when crippled facilities will mean most to the road In several months indicates very strongly that the tide has turned and that there Is not likely to be any strike at all. Con dltions remain the same, there has been no meeting here of the confer ence committee. cars continue to rnn the same as before. except for the presence of a comparatively. small number of men to be broken in aud an air of greater calm and quietude has taken the place of that of expect. ancy which prevailed for the past few days.
 Ii was stated on good authority that if there is still to be a strike the mat- ter will be again taken up with the Connecticut company before action is taken and this has not yet been done Charles W. Minnix and Thomas Dss. kin. the two members of the joint con. ference board from this city. went to sTerIden yesterday afternoon where a conference was held last night with Secretary c. M. Lane of that city, who is also a member of the board. No statement was given out after tho meeting but nothing that will affsct the strike immediately was taken up as there were but the three members of the board present. |

Hargis, Beach was given copious
draughts Of whiskey when a baby.
and when youngster in knee pants
had a pistol buckled to his hip by his
deprayed and law-defying father.
A conspicuous figure at the trial
was Granny Hargis, the mother of
Judge Hargis and the grandmother
of Beach. Mrs Hargis had four sons,
all of whom met death in an unnat-
ural manner, and her husband was
mysteriously killed one night by un-
known enemies, having been brought
home to her a corpse.
1t seems more than passing strange
that such depravity, such love for
crime, such longing to spill human
blood, should exist in civilized ma
ton. 1t seems that Judge Hargis
was the recognized boss of Breathitt
county, and ruled its inhabitants as
completely as a king rules his sub
jeets, his despotism having been as
cised by the monarchs in medieval
days. He brooked no interference,
and never pursued a conciliatory poll
icy toward those who opposed him.
If man dared question his methods
the fate of that man was sealed, for
Hargis was not only an outlaw him
self, but had scores of henchmen who
delighted in the shedding of human
blood and who were only too glad
to murder any man who dared oppose
their chieftain.
Judge Hargis met the natural fate
of feudists, fate which he richly de-
served, and if Beach Hargis is finally
acquitted and given his liberty he
will doubtless follow in the footsteps
of the deprayed specimen of human
ity whom he called father. All
through the trial he sat sullenly 81
lent, the fratricide seemingly having
called forth no remorse, no compunc-
tion of conscience His acquitta1 on
the charge of murder will undoubt-
edly mean continuance of lawless-
ness in the community over which
Judge Hargis terrorized for so many
years, and means that the county
which has been the scene of so many
crimes will continue to be known
to readers of newspapers throughout
the country as "bloody Breathitt."

SOUTH'S PRAIRIE BLACK BELT.
The Mobile & Ohio Railroad was
opened to traffic before the compile
ton of the first half of the last CEN
tury. It extends from the Ohio river
to the Gulf of Mexico, and is part
of a great transportation system that
connects Chicago and New Orleans.
The main line runs through the prai-
rie black belt of East Mississippi,
from Okolona to the Noxubee river,
a region unsurpassed for agriculture
by any other in the entire Union.
1t is the Egypt of the South, and
was "the granary of the Confeder-
acy,,' and to defend it against odds
of more than ten to one, Gen. For
rest displayed heroic prowess and
military genius rarely equaled and
never surpassed in the history of
arms, and it was not until Appomat-
tox made further resistance futile
that the Egypt" fell prey to the
federal forces.
Thirty years ago the commodity
of cotton made up rs per cent. of
the traffic out of Egypt" over the
Mobile &c Ohio Railroad. This was
due to the universal and destitute
poverty ten years of political recon
struction had dealt out to the owners
and tillers of that garden of the
South, but in 1908 the cotton traffic
out of Egypt over the Mobile &
Ohio is less than three per cent. of
the total, and the quantity carried in
1908 is greater than it was in 1878.

Alfalfa has not only restored the
pristine fertility of the soil, but it
has made Egypt" a grazing as well

A Christmas Entertainment.

The Southeast Baptist church in
Thursday night, in attendance upon
the Christmas tree for the Sunday
school children.
After devotional exercises conduct
ed by the pastor, the presents were
then taken off and presented to the
children, which continued until about
nine o'clock.
On leaving the church I found that
about two-thirds of the congregation
were going home with the pastor.
On arrival at the pastors home we
were invited into the dining room,
where a sight met our gaze that made
our hearts well up with praise to
God and thanks to our dear brethren
and sisters. The table was covered
with all kinds of good things. In
the center OF the table was a large
fat turkey ready for the oven and
all the balance of the table was COW
cred with sugar, coffee, canned goods
and in fact, almost everything you
could mention in the way of eata-
-blessv Next were were invited to the
coal bin, which we found supplied
withs coal by brother Baptist dea-
con, though not a member of the
Southeast church. This brothers S
heart'i is in the right place.
We then found our wood shed
had been replenished by another
good Baptist brother, who is not a
member of our flock here. We were
so rejoiced that we could not find
words to express our gratitude.
With bowed heads We returned
thanks unto God and then. as best
we could, tried to thank our dear
brethren and sisters, and also other
friends, for this expression of their
love. Tt is joy to US % live with
such noble Christian people, and we
pray Gods blessing upon them. May
he help me to be worthy of their
love and confidence. and may we be
the instruments of His kingdom and
the salvation of souls, is the prayer
of his servant and your pastor.

THE UNITED STATES SENATE.

THE UNITED STATES SENATE.
The Washington Post calls atten-
ton to the great change which is
going on in the United States senate.
Most of the old leaders are retiring
and each session new faces are seen
composing that heretofore dignified
body. Every election shows the pub
lie condemnation of "bossism" and
very soon it seems that Hale will be
the only survivor of the old regime.
The change is taking place on both
the Republican and Democratic side.
The Post refers to the candidacy of
Governor Vardaman as follows:
"On the Democratic side things
move in the same way. jeff Davis
of Arkansas of course is an extreme
example, but even Tennessee sends
Robert L. Taylor to the senate Car
mack, once new enough for any,
body, has fallen behind the process
sion. John Sharp Williams wins a
Pyrrhic victory in Mississippi over
Vardaman, but the smallness of his
vote is indication enough that only
Williams high fame pulled him
through, that nobody else could have
done it, and that it can't be done
again
