BRIGHTER OUTLOOK
IN COAL FIELDS.
State Convention Will Gather
In Richmond In Annual
Session In April.

Bluefield. w. Va. Mar. "a
From nearly all quarters of the
coal field brighter reports are
coming in and production has
commenced again, but not with
such rush as to flood the
market and demoralize condi-
tons for longer period. From
Gary comes the news that the
United States Coal Il Coke Co.
will increase it's tonnage
monthly by about 900 tons
until capacity 10 reached il the
demand continues 60 Increase
as it is now doing. The com.
pany, it is said, will no longer
make coke but ship it's coal by
the product ovens. This in
crease in tonnage should enable
the Pocahontas district to make
new high record marks for
tonnage.
The Solvay Galleries Co.
shipped more coal during
February than during any other
month III its history, and il is
NOT expected by the operators
that this new high record will
stand long, as the company has
considerable demand for it's
output. The J b. b. Coal Co.
recently taken by the New
England Coal & Coke Co., has
also been doing some heavy
shipping, while other mines
have bettered their previous
records for February. Unfor
tunately outside of the Tug
River and Clinch Valley fields
the same proportionnte Increase
did not hold good in February
and the late start which the
companies got in March does
not bespeak II record breaking
month, although it is believed
that enough coal may be ship
ped TO pass the million ton mark
which has not been missed any
month since 1907.

CAME BACK HOME"
TO BEGIN AGAIN.

Last fall Mr.. Jacob Robinson,
who owned u fine farm near
Florendo, in this county. and
who says he was doing well.
sold his farm, stock. household
goods, etc, and emigrated to
state of Washington, to get
rich quick in those widely
advertised and much boosted
farming lands il that section.
He located at Bellingham. on
the west side of the State.
bought some upland, with
timber on it, because it was
cheaper than the valley land,
and proceeded TO make a home.
II cost him $3.50 an acre to clear
the land. Shortly after his
arrival he saw that he was i'm
for it and began his prepare
lions to leave The residents
there told him lie was going too
soon; TO stay and unload on
some easterner, who would, in
time, come and buy. Mr.. Rob
inson knew of number who
had been waiting for a long
time to catch a sucker and were
impoverished by the wait. con
cluded that he would get out
while he had some money left.
So last week they arrived
here, and Mr.. Robinson is look
ing for farm. He says that he
knew when he had enough. He
says that it is first rate coun-
try to 20 for ones health, but
to go there and live as farmer
it would be sheer folly. Fruit
grows in abundance, but it is
specked with the seal and unfit
for market. He further says it
does not pay to grow timothy
hay That brings $l2 q ton on
1900 an acre land. The price of
egge there is high, but the hens
don't lay.
Mr.. Robinson's experience
cost, he says, about $3 900, and
he is back in old Rutherford to
make back what he lost TO the
land sharks of the glorious State
of Washington.
This experience is true ono
and should give an impetus to
the Back Home" movement
now working in tho South.
Those who left their homes in
the Southern States should come
back to see how the country has
improved and how easy it is to
make a living on the farms that
were once red clay, worn out
washed hills.
Come on back. boys; come
"back home. "-Murfreesboro

Civic League, held March 25th,
the following resolution was
adopted, and a copy of same
sent to the Town Council.
Resolved That the Woman
Civic League approves the ac-
ton OF the City Council in it's
ordinance of March 10. 1911,
requu ing the covering or re.
moval of stable manure for the
purpose of fighting the house
fly, and we pledge ourselves
Individually and az an Associn
ton to help as far as lies in our
power to carry out the ordinance
and make it effective.
Fighting Flies.
1t is none TOO early for the
housekeeper to resolve that she
win tolerate no flies in her
house this summer. The flies
which have lain dormant all
winter are beginning, one by
one, to become active, or, as we
say, "To come TO life. Re.
member that each fly which il
allowed to buzz about now
means one hundred and twenty
llies before the season is over.
The old agage, "a stitch in
time saves nine" is multiplied
several times.
The fly, which was hitherto
considered a harmless crea.
ture, is becoming generally
known as "a filthy pest, and as a
carrier of disease and germs.
Now that housekeepers are be.
coming aware of the real facts
of the case, MIR. Fly is going to
have "a hard time collecting the
filth OF the barnyard on his
hairy feet, and then flying into
the house and wiping his feet
on the sugar or on the milk pan.
Mrs. Fly, too, will find il Diff
cult TO tiud enough garbage or
filth about the back door to law
her eggs in, aud rear her
buzzing family OF children and.
grandchildren An thatisneces
sary is for the housekeeper To
know that flies a5e not only
annoying, but really harmful.
and she viii protect both her.
self and her household from
them.
The Life History Of the Fly.
Like the mosquito. the ny
begins life ms an egg, aud passes
through the laryal stage, where
lac is known ms maggot; then
through a pupal stage, emerg-
ing full grown as tho we'll
known winged pest. Unlike the
mosquito, the fly never matches
m water. The eggs are laid in
some organic matter on which
the larvae, or maggots. NAV
feed after hatching. Horse
manure is the favorite breeding
place for the fly, and according
TO experiments made in Wash
ington. the ily viii breed more
rapidly in horse manure than in
any other substance.
The IDEAL method of getting
rid OF flies is, of course, to pre-.
vent their breeding. In the
country under present condi-
t ons it is not possible to com
pietely prevent the breeding of
flies Much can be done, how
ever, by attention to the barns
and stables. If the manure and
garbage are removed once tt
week, the principal breeding
places are destroyed. The keep.
ing Of the house and stables
absolutely free from filth and
rubbish of all kinds offers the
final solution.
Consumption and typhoid are
probably the diseases most often
carried by flies, but there may
be others not now recognized.

WORK CONTINUES.
(From Saturdays Daiiy)

Major A. J. PickreIl, in charge of the Commercial Mining company op- erations in Copper Basin, while in the city yesterday, stated that cross cutting from the 800 foot level of the main working shaft, continues actively, and he is satisfied with the showing. In speaking of the recent visit of c. H. Dodge of Phelps, Dodge & Co.,, to the works, the lat ter was highly pleased with the pos sibility of establishing another big copper producer, and authorized the work to be continued indefinitely The reviving of this proposition took place about one year ago and in that time the results in exploitation have been satisfactory.

FIERY SPEEDS ID BE REPLACED
 BY MOTORS

NEW YORK, March 9.-New York now proposes to abolish fire engines that is, the horse-drawn kind. Five years from now, it is predicted, the stirring spectacle of an engine drawn by three galloping steeds will no longer be a feature of city life. In stead, Father Kniekerboeker's fire apparatus will be driven by unro- mantle motors.
 Already thirty-two of the motor driven vehicles have been ordered. and by 1916 it is expected the last of the 1850 horses now in use in this department will have vanished.
 While there may be regret, for sen timental reasons, over the passing of the fire horse, Commissioner Waldo explains that business management necessitates the change. According to his figures, while it now costs $660 a year to feed three horses, which is the team required to pull a fire engine, it will cost only $6O a year to feed one fire automobile.
 In view of the fact that the city now has 25S fire companies, 510 pieces of fire apparatus, and 1850 horses, the saving will be an impor- tant item. Another important factor in the adoption of the motor-driven apparatus, according to the cOmmis- sioner, is the greater speed which will be possible in reaching fires.

THE FRONTIER LAWYER.
(By Tom Fiteh.)

A frontier lawyer is compelled to know more law, and more different kinds of law than a practitioner in great center of population. In the city a law practice runs to speeialties. In a frontier town a lawyer may be required to try an ejectment ease on Monday, an equity case on Tuesday, a divorce case on Wednesday, a trespass or a damage case on Thursday, and then finish the week with the defense of some gen tleman whose ideas on the subject of personal or property rights differ from those entertained by a majority of his fellow citizens. frontier lawyer is necessarily a man of var jed accomplishments. I call to mind a professional card that appeared many years ago in a Prescott, Ariz., newspaper. It read as follows: |" Stephen G. Maroon, attorney-at-law. Will Practice in Justices and Probate Court; draws contracts; translate from French into English; acts as veter- mary surgeon; cures sick dogs; white washes fences; repairs boots and cleans vaults. Office at residence on Goose Flat. Give me a call. ''-Los Angeles Times.

DISTRICT COURT HEARS GENUNG
 CASE
(From Saturdays Daily.)

In the District Court, yesterday the personal injury case of c. B. Genung against the s. F., P. & P, Railway company, occupied an all day and part of the night session The plaintiff sues for $1O,00O, on the grounds that he was forcibly ejected from a train on the A. 6 c. railroad, near A. & c. Junction, on December IS, 1909, while he had in his possession a ticket, and was compelled to walk several miles, to the nearest station, while convalese- ing from pneumonia, sustaining a re lapse from the exposure. MT. Genung is one of the best known pioneers of Arizona, and from his prominence as a citizen, the case is attracting considerable attention. At a late hour the jury was still delib- erating on a verdict.
