Evening Leader:
l desire to say few words through
your columns in commentator of the
DR.. j. j. McKanna three-day liquor
cure. / have been heavy drinker at
intervals for the past twenty years.
My nervous system was completely run
down from the use of whiskey and beer.
/ took the McKanna treatment and in
consequence of 1t feel like a new man.
My nerves are quiet, my head clear.
my step elastic, appetite good and l
sleep well.
The grass looks greener, the sky
bluer, the world bigger and everything
looks different. There have been some
desperate cases treated by DIR. McKanna
that came under my observation, one
man in particular, who was almost dead
and seeing things, ne commenced the
treatment one morning and the next
morning saw him sitting up taking
notice." clothed IN his right mind,
laughing and talking to his friends. In
short the McKanna treatment is not far
removed from a miracle.

Coffin, Then Killed Him.

David Moore and wife are in Jail at
Jonesville, Lee county, Va, where they
were taken on last Friday from Erwin,
Va, to escape mob violence. Moore is
charged with having murdered Harry
Lee Nutshell, his fve-year-old stepson,

ry from a sawmill the lumber out of
which his coffin was made. The bow
died about two weeks ago, and Moore
is said to have stated that he died of
fever.
No physician having attended him.

body was exhumed. Examination of
the body showed it to be terribly
bruised, and the boys mother made a
confession, in which, it is said, she

WANT MINERS NOW.
Outlook For General Resumption of Business
IN Southwest.

Prospects are bright for a general re-
sumption of operations in the South
west Virginia and Pocahontas coalfields.
Several of the larger companies have
announced their purpose to resume op-
erations in full. This is true as to both
Virginia and West Virginia, and men
are now being advertised for.
The Stonega Coke and Coal Company.
at Stonega, Wise county, Va, is now
advertising for help to operate its sew
eral mines and coke plants, and A. H.
Reeder, the manager, states that the
company will resume operations in full
as soon as the required number of men
can be had.
The United States Coal and Coke
Company, at Gary, Mcdowell county,
w. Va, which owns extensive opera
tons and does an immese coal and coke
business, is now advertising for men
with which to carry on its works. This
company is offering $1.5O to 81. 90 per
day for laborers.
The Berwind-White Coal and Coke
Company, at Berwind, Mcdowell coun-
ty, W. Va, now have largely increased
orders for the products of their several
operations, and are in need of men with
which to supply the demands made upon
them.
The Superior Pocahontas Coal Com
pany, at Huger, Mcdowell county, w.
Va, is in need of men with which to
supply the increased orders now being
received by it, and are offering top
notch wages and excellent homes in or
der to obtain them.
Many other companies, both in Vir-
GINA and West Virginia, need men. and
are employing them as rapidly as they
can be procured.
The report made by Cashier, Curran
q Bullitt, the great coal selling agency.
shows the output of the Pocahontas
held for the month of June to be the
greatest in the history of the field for a
similar period. This is cheering news
and is taken as indicating a substantial
return of prosperity. Nor is this all
The operations throughout the entire
Clinch Valley field are looking up, and
the number of cars being handled east
over the Norfolk and Western and south
over the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio.
indicates healthy increase in output of
coal and coke from this section. The
Black Mountain Corporation, with a
capital of 81, 500, 900, recently chartered
under the laws of Virginia, is now max
ing extensive prearations for the devel-
opment of its coal properties in Lee
county, Va. This property is not in
cluded in any of the several properties
now under lease in that county. C. H..
Warner, of New York, is president; C.
H. Kehnder, of the same city, is treas
urer, and N. D. Bachman, of Bristol.
Va, is secretary of this new company.
and they expect to push the develop
ment of their holdings as rapidly as it
is possible to do so.
