Pennsylvania Mining.

his mother and wife, have been in

and ease with which the coal is

teachers has been increased since
1905 from AZ. II per month to 52'. %
per month; and the average salary
of white feamle teachers has increas-
ed since 1905 from 20. .33 per month
to 1912 per month. 1 doubt if anv
state in the Union, with similar
conditions has made better record
than this.
This is sufficient answer to the
statement that teachers salaries have
not been materially raised in this
State under the recent administra-
tion.
In answer TO Captain Kent's
question, whether the teacrheIs are
getting twice the pay now that they
did twenty-five years ago, 1 have
only to say that in 1888 the sum of
999, 366. OOwas paid to the teachers of
Virginia In 1908 the sum of 2, 800
$780, SO was paid to them. This is
more than twice as much as was
paid twenty five years ago.
1T should be remembered that in
1883 the state had 5,974 teachers,
while in 1908 there were 9, S2S. More

HAS DONE WELL IN WEST.

Mr.. William Payton, of Cherokee.
Okla, has been the guest i'm the
county for several weeks of relatives
and friends. He left Tazewell coun-
ty about eighteen years ago, going to
the territory of Oklahoma. Mr.PaV-
ton has gotten his share of the for
tunes that have been made in farm
lands and real estate in his adopted
state within the past few years, and
advises every young man TO go west,
as the opportunities for thrift and
energy are as numerous now as they
ever were. The town in which he
lives he witnessed a wonderful
building boom in the past few years.
One of the greatest obstacles to over
come in building in Oklahoma is
the fact that all stone, ETC., for foun-
dations for buildings have to be
hauled hundreds of miles, the state
being bare of anything that will
make a foundation for house or
building. The outcome of this is
that the fondation of house will
cost almost as much as the house
Itself. Mr.. Payton left for his home
last Friday.

To Harness Easily.

Mr.. J. II. Puckett, of the firm of
J. A. Puckett IL Co., Thompson
Valley, was exhibiting here few
days ago new invention, which
excited good deal of attention, and
was pronounced n good thing. 1t is a
device to be used on single harness,
doing away entirely with traces and
also with tug straps and straps over
the shafts. 1t is a spring attachment
and connected by leather cord COM
ing back over the dash board. The
devise can be loosened In second
in case OF accident, and the horse
freed from the buggy. The automat-
ic harness appliance Is sold here by
j. A. Puckett Co, and the company
claims great many advantages for
the device. 1t looks an works well
and seems to be all that is claimed
for 1t by the manufactures. Any
child, or lady can hitch up In q
minuteand unhitch as quickly. The
appliance is along the line OF pro-
gless. 1t seems strange that so little
improvement has been made In bug
gy harness, and devices which ena-
bles the somewhat tedious job OF
hitching and unhitching to be done
easier and quicker. Mr.. Puckett says
that this invention solves the prob
lem
