Governor Colquitt said he again
invoked the principal Of local sell

Under our local option system
those counties and communities
where a majority favors the propo-
sition they can now have local option
and can enforce it because the pub
lie viii of the county or community
wants it, but the people Of one eoun-
" who want it can not sit on juries
nor elect the officers of another
county where the people do not want
il II is even better from the stand
point of a prohibitionist to hold on
to local option and control yourselves
locally than to force it upon those
who do not want it by the adoption
of the state wide prohibition amend
ment. What the people need is to be
taught self reliance, self dependence
and self respect which will forbid
the over consumption OF liquor. -

IN. NEW TUNNEL
FIVE YEARS WORK CONCLUDED
st COST OF $500, 600
ESTIMATES GRADE.
Tunnel 4,600 Feet Through Solid
Rock-Will Enable Engines TO
Handle SO Per Cent
More Freight.

Evansville, Aug. 21--The l.. & N.
operating force between Evansville
and Nashville Is now becoming fami-
liar with the rebuilt line between
Slaughter and Amqui. This work,
done at an expense Of $500, 600,
has just been completed. Included
in the new part Of the line in the
Baker Hin tunnel, drilled for 1900
feet through solid rock and elimi-
mating a grade OF 212 feet in one
mile. The work has taken four years
to complete. 1t required exactly three
years to blast out the Baker tunnel
which lies 10 miles north of Nash
Vile. The Cedar Hill bridge is over
100 feet high and u mile long. y
AS result of rebuilding the line
for distance og 10 miles, the l..
& n is able to handle 33 1-3 per
cent more tonnage with, no increase
in locomotive power. Yards were
built at jacksonville and Mortons.
Around the Darlington and Madison
Vile yards loop was built for fast
freights This saves putting these
heavy fast trains through the yards
and gains 10 minutes in time be-
tween Evansville and Nashville.
According to Superintendent John
Logsdon, the new line makes it pos
sible for one engine to handle 1900
tons of fast freight where SIS tons
were previously handled while a slow
freight locomotive hauls 500 tons
where 975 used to be the maximum
tonnage.
The new grad Of the line is six
tenths of one per cent.
The opening up of the coal fields
along the L. & N. is attracting more
attendtion than ever. During the
past few months five new mines have
been put in operation. One at Mad
isonville has capacity OF 1000 tons
day.
Pennsylvania and Alabama people
who have been buying Kentucky
coal lands have not yet begun to de-
velope the properties, They con-
troll nearly 100000 acres. So far,
local capital has been opening the
mines. When the Eastern fields be-
come limited in their output and
when demand is made for Kentucky
coal, the Eastern and Southern in
vestors will deluge the market with
Kentucky coal. Coal land rights
have doubled in value within ten
years.
To free the double track from Ev-
ansville to Howell of local traffic, a
third track is being laid from the
Howell yard to the Ingle coal mine
at the foot of coal mine hill. Work
on making the filling for this new
track was begun last week A steam
shovel is at work. The purpose Of
this track is to allow switch engines
to go from the yards to coal mine
without impeding either Of the doub-
lie tracks which are now used by the
Illinois Central, the L. & NJ, the Big
Four and the L., H. & st. l.. trains.

Roadway throughout Ontario, the
great industrial province of Canada,

On all sides it is now recognized
that reciprocity is the issue. Even
Mr.. Borden has declined to make his
campaign an attack on the fifteen
years record of the government. In
stead of undertaking he will win or
lose on the reciprocity issue alone.
More than one hundred conven-

nearly every constituency. William
Patterson, minister of customs, one
of the commissioners who negotiated
the reciprocity agreement with
