Passing OF An Old Landmark.

Anent the sensational case of Mrs.
Mary Terrell, who is being held to
answer to an indictment before the
grand jury at Williamson, there is
one interesting feature, which has
thus far escaped the attention of the
newspapers, and which calls to mind
the origin of the McCoy-Hatfield
feud which resulted in the death of
more than fifty men before it sub
sided
The residence which it is alleged
that Mrs. Terrell burned is said to
be the one which was occupied by
Harrison Hatfield, the first man to
lose his life in the famous vendetta.
The residence occupied the high
ground at the lower end of the little
town of Matewan, and was surround
ed by an old apple orchard, planted
by Hatfield 1t will be remembered
that Hatfield was shot by a member
of the Mccoy faction while attending
a law suit, as witness, where a
hog was the property at issue. He
was mortally wounded, but was con-
veyed to his home, some two miles
] further up the Tug river, where he
fingered for a day and a night be-
fore he died. In the meantime three
of the McCoys we're arrested and
held in an old building on the op'
posite side of the river In Kentucky
but in plain view Of the Hatfield
residence, awaiting the results o.
Hatfield's wounds. When Hatfield
died 1t was only a few hours unit
a great crowd of his friends col
lected and crossing the river tool
the McCoys from the officers ant
taking them a short distance up thu
river, opposite the upper end of tn,
present town of Matewan, they con
fined the prisoners by tying then
to dogwood bush when their bod
les we're all riddled with bullets.
The burning Of the Terrell resi-
dence is the passing Of an old land
mark which has been pointed gu
possibly thousand times, as tn
home of the original victim of thu
great feud which at one time almos
threatened to engage two states IL
civil war.

Our citizens are to have another

is hoped that the boisterous scenes
enacted at the last will not be re-

election will be held, giving all legal
voters, and those only, a vote in the
matter and the will Of the majority
respected. The citizens in favor OF
Incorporating say they will never
stop holding such elections until
such is done, so the gang might as

Much Interest In Ferrell case.
Much interest has been taken in
the charge filed against Mrs. Mary
Terrell wife of F. A. ], Terrell,
of Matewan who is charged by Fire
Marshal Ellison with having burned
the old Terrell home in that town,
as told in a former issue of this
paper. Mrs. Terrell was arrested by
Constable John B. Maynard on a
warrant issued by Squire Hoskins
and placed in the jail here. She
and her attorneys charge that she
could not get prompt hearing and
on Wednesday evening last her law
yer, Messrs. Jones and Green, of
this city, filed papers with Judge
Doolittle for a hearing ON writ
of habeas corpus. This writ was
granted and the sheriff ordered to
take her to Huntington to appear
before Judge Doolittle's court.
Meanwhile, on Saturday prelimi-
nary hearing was held before Squire
Chaffin. Mr.. Green, attorney for
Mrs. Terrell, argued that this was
now improper, as the habeas corpus
proceedings were pending. Upon
being overruled, he waived hearing.
On Monday Mrs. Terrell was taken
to Huntington to Judge Doolittle's
court, where she was given her lib
erty. But meanwhile the grand jury
had found a true bill against her,
and she was re-arrested, She there
upon promptly gave bond, and the
case will be fought out. Mrs. Fer
rell proclaims her innocence, and in
sists that she has not received fair
treatment from her accusers. She
can at least furnish very satisfactory
explanations for some of the cir
cumstnaces that appear to be against
her. For the sake of her family
connections, who are among the best
people in this or any other section,
1t is to be hoped that she will sue
coed in establishing her innocence

lars, more than enough to pay the
cost of the plant, by publishing its
own documents and reports.
When the state printing plant
was established, it was not intend
ed for the publication of school
books. But Kansas has felt her
citizens were gouged deeply on
text books, and the state printer
has just completed an exhaustive
investigation. He has figured in
the cost of the books, the interest
on the funds needed to enlarge
the state printing plant, allowed
15 per cent for royalties or copy
right, depreciation of the plant,
additional heat and power and the
cost of distribution. After figur-
ing in every cost of publication
and distribution, the state printer
finds the state could have saved
in one year $224,1S9.65, or nearly
SO per cent. Here Is what he says
after his investigations:
II unhesitatingly say that there
is not a book furnished by any
publishing house today to the state
of Kansas that could not be sold
at less than the price fixed by
statute, and still furnish a fine
margin of profit"
