First Shipment
OF Coal Made from the New
Coal Mines at Jenkins.

The first shipment lakeward
from the new coal fields at Jen-
kins, KY, where more than
$40, 000,00 is being.spent IN de
velopments, has been made,
and from this time forward
that promises to be one of the
most important mining cper-
atoms in the South. The Con.
solidation Coal Corporations
has been busy in that field for
more than n year and has spent
multiplied thousands of dollars
in the building of n model min
ing w n, with churches,
schools, theatres, hotels, etc.
The initial shipment in the
direction of the lakes was head
ed last Saturday over the Ches-
apeake and Ohio railroad and
the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
way Company's new line. 1t
is estimated that during the re-
mainder of the present year
100000 tons of coal will be
shipped northward from the
Jenkins mines.
The Louisville and Nashville
railroad is now building ia

this extension is done the coal
will be routed from the Jenkins
mines via Winchester, KY. The
new extension was undertaken

agreement with the coal opera.

Reasons for not Being a Can
didate.

In letter to Mr.. Waller s.
Poage of Wytheville, Hon. C.
b. Slemp sets forth his reasons
Tor not being a candidate for
Congress on t h e republican
ticket this fall.
The letter follows:
My dear Sir;
write this to lot you know
1t will be impossible for me to
become a candidate for Con.
gress this fall,
have thought the matter
over very seriously and am sure
1T is the wisest decision for me
to take from every standpoint.
write you this as a personal
friend, so that no action will be
taken in my favor at the COM
ing county convention. rath.
er believe it would be a good
idea to have the delegates un.
instructed, 80 that when they
come to Bristol, they will select
n man on whom the entire
party can unite.
Circumstances in my family
are such that | shall have to be
away from the district until
about the middle of October.
thus making it impossible for
me to conducta campaign of a
serious nature, In addition to
that my business obligations
aud opportunities are such that
it is the best for me TO give
more attention TO them in the
future than have i'll the past.
| wish to say thnt this action is
not taken as some may say,
from fear of any results in q
contest in the district between
myself as the republican nomi-
nee on the one side and the
democrtic nominee on the other
side, but purely from the req.
sons above. can also cay and
it may be important for you to
know, that the polf-tax situa-
ton was worked up more care
fully this spring than it has
been in recent years and that
t h republican majority is
shown on the books at no less
than three thousand. 1t only
means that we all should act
reasonably, intelligently and
ur.itedly TO elect a republican
this fall from our Grand Old
District.
1t is with many regrets that
| feel impelled to take this
course, but hope to be of use
to the nominee of party, though
| cannot be in a position to be
as active as | would like to be.
With kindest regards and
wishing for you personally, the
best of everything.
| remain,
Very truly,
G. b. Slemp.

Council Meet
ing.

An adjourned meeting of the
Town Council was held in the
Town Hall last Saturday eve
ming at A O'Clock, for the pur-
pose of taking some action on
the typhoid situation in the
town, and to receive bids for
putting the stone on the road
from the Public School House
to Kennedy's store, a distance
of nearly two miles.
Several ladies representing
the Civic League were present,
and advocated the employment
of Miss Gertrude Elliott, u grad
uate nurse, to assist the author.
titles of the town in the enforce
ment of sanitary regulations in
the neighborhood of the fever
cases. The Mayor was directed
by the Council TO take all neces-
sary steps to counterfeit the
spread of the disease.
The Council then passed the
ordinance submitted at the pre-
vious meeting, providing for
the monthly inspection of dry
closets, and directing the Mayor
to appoint all additional Assist
ant Sergeant, to be known as
the Town Health Inspector, to
inspect promises aud report the
result of each inspection to the
Council.
Mr.. Jno. w. Chalkley then
addressed the Council on the
question of the rights of the
Town to condemn private prop
erty that constituted menace
to the health of the town, and
stated that in his opinion the
rights of the town were almost
unlimited in this respect.
The bids of Robert j.. Peters
and the Clark County CONSTITUTE
ton Company for macedonia
ing the road to Kennedy's store,
were opened, and both rejected
as too high. The Council dis
cussed the advisability of the
road being built by the town
with its own machinery, but
deferred their decision until the
next meeting to ascertain if q
suitable quarry could begot;en.
The suggestion being made
by the ladies of he Civic
League that the present Board
of Health was not acting, the
Council directed the Recorder
to apply to the State Board of
Health at Richmond for the APP
pointment of local Board of
Health, recommending t h {
Mayor, DR.. j. A. Gilmer and
Mrs. Il. e. Goodloe for mem.
bers.
The Recorder was directed to
notify the Clark County Con.
struction Company that the
town would need it's road build
ing machinery in its place, by
September LIST. Il he CLARK
County Construction Company
has been using the town ma.
chinery under n lease, which
provided for their supplying
the town with similar machin
cry when needed.
The Council then adjourned
to the next regular meeting in
September.

Queer JumbIes in Congress
we have had samples of the confusion
already We already have a very queerly
assorted senate of the United States.
Ihere are some Democrats, some Repub-
Means and some eX-Republicans. and it
has been gamblers chance whether they
would get together on anything or not.
1t has been difficult to guess after a bill
passed the house of representatives ex-
actly what was going to happen to it
when it got into the senate. and the roll
call In the several votes has seldom
showed the same list of names.
Now, suppose You had a house of rep
resentatives mixed like the present sem
ate? | think we could all go fishing for
the next two years! And if at the same
time you had leader insistent upon GER
tain policies. | think the air would be
fun of clamorous voices. but the statute

OF defeating, instead of reversing and
remedying The evil things that have been
done under the mistaken leadership of the
regular Republican leaders, it proposes
that the results of their mistakes shall be
legalized and made regular by being taken

may be the philanthropic purpose of GER

result of that particular proposal will be
to confirm by law the partnership be-
tween great trusts and the Federal gov

the leaders of the new party expect or

happen, what must happen under such

try show business as side line for
nine years. He is known all over the
South as an expert, and the shows that
have been given under his management
have all been successful.
Secretary Harwell attended the re-
cent meeting of the American Poultry
associa ton. in Nashville and solicited
entries there from breeders of fine birds
all over America He met witt. graft
flying success and expects to have here
during the week of October 81 Novem-
Der some of the finest show birds in
all America. He has been promised
entries from the South and from other
sections as we'll and will be able to
give a show that will be virtually ma
tional in scope
Will Be the Quality Show"
No effort ever has been made or ever
will be made by this organization to
attract entries of mediocre birds. 1t
realizes only too we'll that quality is
what counts in a poultry show. Last
year, in the face of competition, the
Georgia Poultry association went out
after the highest class of birds only.
Every man who entered a bird was re-
'quireo- to pay the regular entry fee.
No special inducements were offered.
1t was desired to make a show that was
representative. and the effort was a
success,
So vas the show a success 1t was
hurt by bad weather and by the late
ness of the dates. But it was a cork
ing good exhibition of Southern poultry.
There were no clap-trap side lines, no
phony features, nothing bat a good.
straight poultry show, with birds of
class on exhibition in every coop.
On this same basis, that of giving a
real poultry show, the coming exhibit
ton will be run.
The Judges Are Experts.
Three judges, known to poultrymen
of all America, have been secured They
are F. j. Marshall, w. c. Pierce and F.
H. Shellabarger They are men of the
highest standing and of the broadcast
experience. 1t would have been posi-
Bile to sacrifice quality judging" for
quantity judging" and to have secured
more men But three good judges are
enough to handle any show which was
over given in the South, especially
when they are accorded the expert as
sistance that is given to every man who
passes on the fowls at G. P. A. show.
The prizes this year will be particu-
larly numerous and valuable In addi-
ton to the regular cash prizes, there
will be a multitude of special cash
prizes and a big showing of cups and
other valuable trophies.

Georgia Poultry Association Sets Its Dates
EARUIER SHOW THIS YEAR

The poultry show situation in Allan

Out of an unnecessary and Illogical
situation last year there came tive
poultry shoWs-Rore than Atlanta
needed and more than was for the
good of the poultry industry in the
city and in the state. .-...-..... d.
Half-hearted efforts are being made
now to smooth out this situation. If
they are sincere, they may be success
full. But come what may. the Georgia
Poultry association will hold it's show
October q to November ., in the At
lanta Auditorium Armory.
Here is what has been done already
toward giving this show:
Officers of the association have been
elected.
Dates have been set.
The Auditorium has been definitely
contracted for.
Judges have been engs ged.
coops for 5000 birds are owned by
the association.
Printed notices have been issued and
sent broadcast over the country.
The show has been virtually under
written.
Nothing can head ii now. And on Oo-
tober % to November , the Georgia
Poultry association the original show
organization of Atlanta. will give its
ninth annual show.
The G. p. A. Means Business.
The Georgia Poultry association is no
