gold eagle and with it the following
letter:

usually like good looking women. The

The Romans. among whom agricul-

were an inventive race, especially in
the matter Of labor saving machines.
Recognizing the drudgery Of hand
mills, they invented those whose mo-

their victorious armies. There is no

Bad Roads The Cause.

In the mountain counties of
Kentucky 1t is a common experience
TO find old men who have lived all
their uneventful lives without having
caught a glimpse of a locomotive
Is it any wonder that such a con-
dition Of affairs breeds illiteracy? q
We hang our heads in shame when
we find Kentucky classed as forty
second in illiteracy, when the white
population alone is considered. This
Is very largely the result OF the bad
loads of the State, which make
school-going in the gparsely set
tied districts practically impossible.
Where good roads exist MS In the
Bluegrass counties the illiteracy
problem is practically eliminated.
Culture and refinement follow, as
the social bent of the community is
encouraged. The coming together
of the youths of the mountains in
long terms for study will follow
Immediately with the building Of
good roads, and no other condition
will make this possible.
1t is idle to talk about doing n,
way with the prevailing conditions 0
things until we have gotten at the
real difficulty, which is the source
of 1t all. Fill the school houses
for eight or nine months in the
years with the receptive mountain
boys and girls, and keep repeating
this operation for few years ant

criticise their elders will soon disap

She told the writer not many
days before her death that when

line passes within a very short dis

is probably the greatest enterprise
OF the kind ever attempted. II will
require an enormous quantity of gas

Charleston, w. va.-open hostility
TO the Department of Mines by some
Of the coal operators OF the Norfolk
and Western section OF the State
aud the power OF these coal barons
TO circumvent prosecutions instituted
by the department have resulted in
Governor Dawson having under con-
sideration the adyisabllity of prun-
Ing the appropriation for the lie
partment out OF the appropriation
bill.
Friction exists at present in the
department and for some time It
has been almost impossible TO en-
fierce the present mining statutes.
while the Legislature which Just
closed denied consideration TO ali
mining measures, stating that the
mining bills introduced were OF no
value TO the miner, the sole intent
being TO increase the cost OF the
State Department.
One of the reasons why Governor
Dawson has the matter under consid-
Grafton at this time is the fact that
practically every serious explosion oc,
curing in the pines In the touth-
ern section OF the State has occurred
In mines operated in almost total de-
fiance OF law.
It has leaked out that Governor
Dawson has a volumlnous mass Of
testimony in his office taken by a
detective which the Executive hired
md sent TO one OF the coal fields
Of the State, The detective spent sew
eial months in the Norfolk and
Western field, working at various
mines and lumber camps to lnvesti-
gate labor conditions, and the re-
silt OF his inquiry is is said to
depict some deplorable conditions.
