Necessarily the bulletin deals chiefly
with the deposits in the western end of
the State. The bulletin says the de-
posts of fluorspar Central Kentucky
have received less attention from pros
pectors than they may derive. In fact.
it seems not improbable that systema-

below the limestone will develop fuor-
spar deposits of Importance. 1t is
also intended to work further study
of the barytes deposits of that part Of

IS GIVEN A KNOCKOUT,

Nashville, Tenn, April3 3. The Cum
berland Presbyterian Church in Tenn
essee this afternoon won the noted
church case with which the Tennessee
Supreme Court has been wrestling for
two years. The Supreme Court. in an
opinion Of ninety -one pages, delivered
by Justice M. M. Nell, holds that the
steps sought to be taken by a PORTION
of the Cumberland Presbyterian church
in uniting with the Presbyterian church
U. 5. A. were not effective.
1t was held that the Cumberland
church still exists, and that its MEM
bers still retain it's creed, doctrines.
etc. 1t was held that unionists had al
lied themselves with another different
church and doctrines.
The Cumberlands are given the
church property, and the unionists are
adjudged not to have a right or title to
it. Their bill. in which they sued to
recover church property in Fayetteville
Tennessee, is dismissed with cost.

Kentucky have been A. s. of E. pools.
1t was the A. s. of E. that taught us
how TO pool. 1t was the A. S. Of E.
that organized the several tobacco asso-
Citations and put them in working con-
dition. 1t rs the plan Of the A. S. of E.
that each type, or rather the growers
Of each type, should manage their own
affairs; that is, the details.
The A. S. of f. was big enough and
broad enough to consent that those not
members of the A. S. of f. might
become members of the tobacco asso-
Citations by pooling. But it was con-
templated that the several tobacco as
sociations would meet together at least
annually around the A. s. of f. hearth
stone. and there take counsel, the one
with the other. for mutual interest and
th9 general welfare. Ii was also, con-
templated that those pooling would as
suredly como up like men and join the
A. s. Of f. after being made benefic-
iaries of its effective and practicability.
Much can be said, pro and con, as to
the foresight Of those who shaped that
policy. Personally, think it was the
best that could have been done at the
time. and has hastened the time of
demonstrating the efficiency of the A.
5. of f. and brought blessings to thous-
ands who could have received them
through no other source. The tobacco
associations, however. have been tempt
ing fields for those who have a greater
regard for self-interest than public
veal; consequently, organization has
not been fostered and pushed as il
should have been. There has been too
much Of the glamor of hero worship,
and not sufficient regard or apprecia-
tion Of the real power that was hold
ing the trust at arms length, viz; the
number pooling and their cohesiveness.
Growers, think, are realizing that
more and more, and are locking to the
A. s. Of f. as the proper fold,
and are getting in at rate
that will include all the tobacco grow
ers in the state before the 1909 crop is
housed. Wherefore think there is lit
tie doubt of the 1909 pool being an A. |
s. Of +. pool in its broadest sense.
It's my opinion that the opponents !

worth Burns But Inmates
are Saved.

Leavenworth, Kan. April 8. The
military prison at Leavenworth was
destroyed by fire late tonight. The
prisoners were removed from the cell
houses under guard of United States
troops and confined in stockade. None
of the prisoners escaped. so far as a
hasty resume Of the situation after
midnight showed, but this may not he
definitely known until daylight.
Owing to thd low water pressure the
fire department at the fort was almost
useless. The fire was fought by the
soldiers who were ordered out of their
quarters, and those who were on leave
in the city were at once called back to
the post.
Two soldiers were injured while fight
ing the flames. but none of the prison
ers were hurt in any way.
Much excitement attended the re-
moval of the prisoners, many of whom
are desperate characters. 1t was feared
they would make an organized break
for saftey.
The Rte broke out about 10 O'Clock
in the tailor shop and it was soon seen
that the building was doomed. Agreat
outcry at once broke out in the prison,
the convicts fearing they would be
burned, to death. They battered on
the doors of their cells as the light of
the fire streamed through the windows.
Many screamed in terror, as the au-
thories for moment refused to remove
them. All the soldiers that could be
spared from the ranks of the fire fight
ers were detailed as guards and then
the delivery of prisoners began.

clusion of Ollie James sp eech on the
Payne bill in the House today, which
created greater uproar of applause
among the Democrats than any tariff
speech delivered this session. Mr..
James spoke about fifty minutes.
From the start he attacked the in
consistencies and injustices of the
pending bill and his confusion was a
climax of denunciation which fairly
swept the minority members from their
feet. He ridiculed the agriculture
schedules and roasted. the protection
given the sugar and tobacco trust.
He received storm of applause when
he concluded and the business of the
House was practically suspended for
some minutes, while many members.
including several Republicans. crowded
about him to congratulated him upon his
efforts.
What probably will be the last week
of general debate on the Payne tariff
