The increase shown in the bank
clearings this week do not Indicate
truly Just what the increase is. since
several Of the largest wholesale con-
Germs are dividing their banking ac-
counts this year on account of the
exchange charges the local banks
put into effect the first of the year.
Some of the firms are doing some of
their business at Mayfield, some at
Fulton, Princeton, and other neigh
boring towns. Counter business
nevertheless has been very active
the last week.
Wholesalers are complaining of
the bad conditions of the roads hurt
ing trade somewhat since the first
of the year. but business has started
off nicely otherwise.
Local manufacturers were never
so busy as they are at present, and
there are more employees at work in
the mills of Paducah today than
ever before. Some Of the plants are
planning new additions to be built
as soon as the weather permits, and
one. The Lack Singletree company,
already has its plans in the hands OF
architects.
AS soon as spring weather sets In,
building activity will assume pro-
portions not equaled before in the
best OF building years. Architects
are busy just now on plans of new
houses to be erected this year, and
are predicting a big year for the
building trades.
Reports OF last month from the
two railroads entering here and from
the street car company show in
creases of from 10 to 20 per cent
over a year ago.
Insurance men report the best
year last season since the panic
year, and real estate agents are plan
ming for a big year.
Coal dealers have had the best

whole trade conditions in all lines
are very promising.

REPORT ON MINES
In WEST VIRGINIA

Bluefield, w. Va, August 26.-One
hundred million tons of coal mined in
West Virginia without the loss of a
single life by dust or gas explosions
is the record made by this state in the
II months ended with June 80 last.
This statement is made by Charles Con-
nor, assistant chief state mine in
spector, who declares the record never
has been equaled in any mining COM
munity Incidentally he declares that
West Virginia now occupies second
place in the list of coal producing
states.
In the year ending last June the
mines of West Virginia thus far re-
porting produced 54,S4s,000 tons and
50 additional shafts are yet to be heard
from. When all reports are in it is
estimated that the total coal output
of the state for the year will be ap-
proximately 100000 tons This will
be an increase of 100000 tons over
the year ending 1909.
Greater vigilance on the part of the
state mine department is given the
credit for the decrease in fatalities
among those who work under ground.
Since January, 1909, practically no adj
ditional laws governing mining have
been placed on the statute books OF
the state.
