ROAD PLANS IMPROVEMENTS.
L. & N. Will Do Extensive Work in
Eastern Coal Fields of Kentucky.

Barbourville, Ky.-The Louisville &
Nashville Railroad Co. is planning ex-
tensive improvements in its service in
the Eastern Kentucky coal fields, in
order to handle properly the big traffic
which is resulting from new extern
sions into the coal fields. Plans are
under way for double tracking the
Cumberland Valley division from Pine
vile to Corbin, distance of thirty
miles. The Wasioto & Black Noun.
tain railroad, the new line, which gives
entrance to the Harlan county district,
leaves the Cumberland Valley division
at Pineville. Some of the largest coal
and coking plants in the state are in
operation along that branch, and with
other feeding lines bringing down an
immense tonnage to the main line, the
single track system is not sufficient
for the traffic. 1t is stated that the
double tracking of the division will
begin early in the spring. During the
past year the nucleus of double track
system has been provided by an ex.
tensive sidings at frequent intervals
between Corbin and Pineville, and old
bridges have been replaced by heavier
structures.

Frankfort.-While the court of ap.
peals is wrestling with the question of
the auditors and treasurer's right to
exercise discretion in issuing and
stamping as Understanding warrants
Ger appropriations made by the gen.
sral assembly in the face of a deficit
Of more than 100000, State Auditor
Fl. NJ. Bosworth has raised another
question, involving the constitutional
ity of the confederate pension act of
1912, which seems destined also TO be
carried before that tribunal for settle
ment.
In communication addressed to
the attorney general, Auditor Bos-
worth inquiries as to the validity OF
the act, explaining that his bondsmen
have raised the question with him,
and to protect himself and them from
the consequences Of issuing warrants
on the, treasury for claims, the legality
of which might be questioned in future
ny SOlue Taxpayer, he uSSlISS 10 NC dS'
sured of his ground before he acts.
Atty. Gen. Garrett said this is the
first time the question has been sub
mitted TO him, and he has nothing to
say at present regarding it.
The act has been questioned under
the provision Of the bill of rights that
mo grant of exclusive separate public
emoluments or privileges shall be
made to any man or set of men except
in consideration of public service.
No such question has ever before
been raised in Kentucky, the issue
bearing directly on the proposition
whether under the constitution OF Ken
lucky service In the confederate army
may be considered such public serv
ice' as to take this act out of the con
stitutional prohibition. While no in
timation is given out as to the atti
tude the attorney general will assume
toward the question it is the consensus
that the situation will terminate in q
test case in circuit court and be car
ried to the court Of appeals for fina
determination.

KY. WOMAN IN MEXICO
Missionary From Durango Returns to
Her Home at Paris-TeiIs Of
Trouble.

Paris. Ky.-Miss Sue Ford, a Mex
lean missionary, who has been sta
toned at Durango, Mexico, has return
ed to her home in this city. Miss Ford
quit her post after having been noti-
fed by the American consul that the
safety of Americans in Mexico could
not be guaranteed. She gives graphic
account of the situation in Mexico and
the chaotic conditions following the
overthrow of the Madero admiDistra-
ton and the ascendancy of Huerta and
Diaz to the head of the provisional
government.
THE prospects for peace, from my
observation" says Miss Ford, ARE any
thing but promising. The lives OF
Americans are held very cheaply, and
those who can do so are fleeing from
the country"
According to Miss Ford, the troops
from the town where she was sta
toned, were removed to Mexico City
at the outbreak of hostilities in the
Mexican capital, and the populace of
Durango was afforded no protection
from the bands of brigands permitted
to go over the country pillaging and
numbering. No effort is made to check
them. Numbering bands of Mexicans
infest the country surrounding the
town where she was located, and, Wis.
iting every city not afforded military
protection, exact tribute from foreign
residents, as well as the natives. Not
only has the Mexican government fail
ed to protect the lives and property OF
have been denied the privilege of pro-
tecting themselves, and all American
men have been relieved of their arms.
AS consequence, they are leaving
the country as rapidly as possible.

A lively little controversy is going
its rounds of newspaper discussion rel
alive to the right age at which a man
should take the matrimonial plunge A
professor in the Boston university
precipitated the controversy by scot
fing at the assertion that young man
at twenty was prepared for the re
sponsibilities OF marriage, declaring
with much truth that matrimony al
that tender age was generally ghast.
ly and expensive joke on the father-in,
law. Marriage at the best, is an ex.
pertinent that should never be rashly
undertaken. Love at first sight is
the surest road to the divorce court
Its victims need the immediate service
of physician much more than that
of a parson The right time to marry
is when the right young man meets
the right young girl. but up to date
the wisdom OF humanity has devised
no accurate test for that happy con
junction.
