San Francisco. Feb. 1.-THE Barbary
Coast. for sixty years famous as san
Francisco's tenderloin, is doomed. Fri
day at midnight the scores OF divekeep-

The passing of the Barhary Coast Is
due to a recent ruling Of the police COM

entering the dance halls and other ~-
sorts.
Within another month, II is said. Pa

WINTER COVER CROPS
How to Make Poor Land Rich
NJ, G. & St. l.. Issues Publication

couraging the adoption of the methods
of restoring the lost fertility to the
soil outlined in the publication that
the backward system of farming at
present in vogue along the N, G. g.
st, L. R'y will be corrected, particu:
larly with respect to the employment
of lands in winter.
The suggestions and instructions
contained in the booklet, involving
judicious 6eep fall tuning, lining,
growing of winter cover crops and the
plowing under of green leguminous
plants for the purpose of creating hu-
mus in the soil and enriching it, are
based upon practical demonstration
and experimental results, and the N,
G. e.. st. L. Ry is moved to urge the
farmers along its lines to accept the
methods outlined by the sanction and
support of expert agricultural workers
in State and United States Govern
ment extension service, and by the
practice of them by scientific and pro-
gressive farmers everywhere.
The booklet will be received by ten
thousand farmers operating in N, G.
q st. l.. Ry territory, and it is be-
lieved that if they will give the sug-
gestions it contains earnest considera-
tion and that if the methods of restor-
ing and keeping fertility in the soil
practiced in the most successful and
up to date farming communities and
earnestly advocated therein are adopt
ed generally, many thousands of dol
lars of value and tons of fertility will
be added to the soils along that Com
pany's lines that are now practically
depleted.

The Nashville, Chattanooga & St
Louis Railway through the Industrial
Division of its Traffic Department, is
this week mailing to the farmers oper
ating along its lines in the States of
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and
Georgia, an attractive and instructive
publication entitled "The Value of
Winter Cover Crops in Soil Build
ing" The booklet, consisting of
twenty-eight pages and cover is at
tractively illuminated with appropri-
ate views of the various departments
of farm life, and has to do in particu-
lar with the Importance of cultivating
green winter crops on all grain lands
not otherwise utilized with forage
crops.
1t is unfortunately too true that vast
areas of cotton, corn and small grain
lands, not only in the territory trav-
ersed by the lines of the Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis Railway, but
in every agricultural community in
the South, have for years been allowed
to remain uncultivated and unoccu-
pied by any of the various green grow
ing crops during the winter season.
Such lands devoid of cover crops are
of course subject to the beating rains,
SHOWS and frosts of winter and much
of the surface soil is washed into ad-
iacent streams never to be recovered
These conditions, together with long
continued one crop farming, shallow
blowing and improper cultivation,
have contribut greatly to the deple-
tion of large percentage of the soils
of the South; and it is hoped by en-

INCREASE IN
STATE HIGH SCHOOLS

At last it is "from Carter to Shell
by" in the high school movement; for
Shelby has long had high schools, and
Carter added hers at the July term of
court Eight counties this year have
established tigh schools: Hawkins.
Meigs and Greene in April; Obion,
Dyer, Sumner, Carter and Granger in
July. Five of these are in East Ten
nessee, which now has more high
schools than Middle and West Tennes-
see put together. 1t has high schools
now in every county except eight, and
will in a short time be solid for high
schools. This movement is coming
sooner or later to every county. If you
want information as to the state aid
given high schools write to our new
high school inspector, W. R. Bourne,
State Capitol, Nashville, or to me.
Even those counties which already
have high schools can get increased
aid ..-

foe Vasey III Reply TO the
MCDoWeIZ NJ. V0., Recorder

Union succeeding in inducing the mi
ners to strike, thereby causing them
to live in tents and suffer untold hard
ships Hence the dire falsity of the
Mcdowell Recorders position is trans
parent, which conduct in its columns
leadsus to truthfully believe is prompt
ed by malicious intent regardless of
sincerity to it's readers.
The said paper incarnately lies when
it says that Paint Creek miners were
compelled by the officers of the Union
to lose $40. so per month, or 1926. 90 per
year in order that the organization
may be next" to the tune of 80 cents
per head per month in dues through

miners-may the Mcdowell Recorder
and the general public know-of their
own accord unanimously ratified the
terms of agreement without undue in
fiuence and without dissenting
voice, and are happy as result of
the settlement.
Neither the Paint Creek miners nor
the United Mine Workers ask any of
the assistance or counsel of such biased
columns as the newspaper herein re-
ferl ed to- The Mcdowell Recorder,
moreover, lies when it says ''The or
ganization is really interested in the
miner only as source of revenue fol
it's own Golfers.

ceived fair treatment as free men and

wholesale and retail merchants of the
State of West Virginia although COM
ing from the miners of all the other
mining States. and the organization
has no regret pertaining to the Paint
Creek Settlement, and has 10 apology
to make for its efforts.
The Mcdowell Recorder, we pre-
sumo, is somewhat sore at seeing the
complete destruction of the gun and
billy institution which it's columns has
apparently helped build and retain,
but which it now sees finally passing
away, to-wit, the private army sys-

The United Mine Workers of Ameii-

compared with the interests represent
ed by and defended through the col

The Mcdowell Recorder (the pre-
tended would be friend of the miuer)
in its entire existence has never begun
to do anything for the miner as COM
pared with the successful endeavors of
the United Mine Workers of America
who have reduced their hours of work,
increased their pay, improved their
working conditions, placed check

Editor Sequachee Valley News:
Our attention has Just been drawn
to an article appearing in the issue Of
July 18th of the Mcdowell Recorder,
published in Welct, Va, in which
they define, or seek to interpret the
recent Paint Creek settlement, and
comment thereon, and among other
things says: ''As pick miner aver
ages $50 tons a month this means that
men, after sixteen months of idleness
and turmoil have been compelled by
the officers of the Union to lose ten
dollars a month, or one hundred and
twenty dollars year in wages, in or
der that the organization may be next
~ the tune of fifty cents per head per
month in dues through the check off,
or to put the same thing in other
words, the officers of the Union have
shown by their action today that the
is really interested in the
miner only as source of revenue for
its own Golfers Adding the six dol
lars year in dues to the wages lost
makes an average of $t26, 90 a year in
wages that the miners will lose thru
their long strike"
We bad supposed that newspapers
were intended to convey truthful news
to their readers and not comfort the
truth to objectionable falseness to sat
isfy the whims of subsidized and sord-
i'd interests, thus offending the intelli-
gence of their own readers We have
previously said, and now repeat that
the columns of the Mcdowell Recorder
have been freely used against the best
interests of the miners and in favor of
the Coal Companies, and for continu-
ance of Baldwin-Feltz (thuggery ma
chine) agency system, who have well
piled their work in and around Welch
(of which the Recorder is familiar) by
beating up and almost killing num-
ber of Organizers who were peaceably
and quietly pursuing their legiti mate
avocation. The Mcdowell Recorder
has seemingly taken much delight in
publishing untrue and misleading
statements that would tend to discred-
it the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca such as the statement of 80 per
cent of the miners not being in the
Union and 1 per cent. being in the I'm
ion, the fo1mer being respectable law
abiding citizens, the latter being the
la awless destructive ones; and recently
in publishing an infamous letter pur-
porting to come from an international
Organizer of the United Mine Work
ers, the authenticity of which we
challenged from its first appearance,
and yet challenge and brand it a
frame up and fake. The Mcdowell
Recorder, like the Labor Argus, made
light of the New River settlement and
now does likewise (even to the extent
Of side tracking the truth, by misrep
resenting the Paint Creek settlement.
If the statement of the Mcdowell Re-
corjer be true (Which we not only
challenge but positively deny) that
PICK miners average about $50 tons per
which would mean per the Re-
corder's own argument that the pick
miners were averaging prior to the
strike, $127.50, plu- $1,000 Suffered
by Recorders claimed reduction) plus
$500 dues, which equals $13 per
month, hence under such monthly
earnings of the miners we cannot con-
ceive any agitators tsuch as the Re
corder seemingly delights to score)

This knob is fiuted or scalloped in reg.
