Barnett Killing Unjustifiable.

Barnett Killing Unjustiiable. l Reports of the killing of 6 blacksmith at Shelbyville by Henry Johnson indicate that the killing was wholly unjustif- able.
 It seems that Barnett, who for merly lived at Pfeiffer, was a renter of Johnson's and there a. rose dispute about the disposi- tion of some manure on the place. It is said that Johnson rode to the home of Barnett armed with a shotgun, and af- ter shooting Barnett down rode away and told a neighbor he had better go and look after him. Barnett leaves a wife and six children in destitute circum- stances.
 A citizen of Batesville who knows Johnson, says he is a bad man, with one other killing to his credit. The report was re- ceived here today that Johnson was taken to the jail at Even ing Shade to prevent mob vio- fence from citizens in the neigh borhood of the killing.
 Johnson's preliminary trial which was set for today, has been postponed at the request of Johnson, who is reported to be charlottesville Guard.

GOOD MAN

1t is a matter Of sincere con-
graduation that there is a firm
hand at the helm of state, and
that during these troubled times
when the whole of Europe
seems ready to fly at each
others throats, this country is
in a position to hold hands of
from the controversy and at the
same time to protect our own
interests, fnan cial and other
wise, says the Bowling Green
Messenger. The leading stock
exchanges of the country have
closed down for an indefinite
period, and yet no financial in
stitution of consequence has
been made to suffer, and the US
ual run of business matters is
going on as if nothing out of the
ordinary was taking place. The
Secretary of the Treasury author
lied the statement that the treas
ury would stand behind the busi-
ness of the country to the extent
of the governments currency
and credits. This has had the
effect to make a feeling of Sc
curity, and no panic will ensue.
The difference between the pres
ent scare and those in previous
times is that the people realize
now that they are the masters
and not the servants of the mon
led interests and that the govern
ment is back of the people and
not the trusts. Whatever may
be the shade of our political
opinion, we ought all to be
thankful that we have such a
man as Woodrow Wilson at the
head of affairs at this time.

WHY M'CREARY RAN. =

Aaspy of Gov. McCreary's best
friends among which we were
one, earnestly advised him, a
year ago not to make the race
for u. S. Senator. The returns
seem to indicate who were his
real friends, for those who were
most insistent that he get into
the race seem to have thrown
him down." if the vote in their
counties is any criterion. Just
why he listened to their siren
voices seems to me explained in
the Richmond Register OF the
current issue, which is publish
ed in McCreary's home town and
heartily supported him. Editor
Pickles says: A great many of
our people to whom the Govern
ors defeat has been apparent for
some time, have been wondering
why man of his political
sagacity should allow himself to
be drawn into a hopeless conflict.
We questioned the Governor
along this line last week and he
told us his reason for entering
the primary was that he had the
absolute promise of Mr.. Stanley
to withdraw from the race, leav-

TOBACCO SHORTAGE

Reports by the Burley Tobac-
co Company officials at Lexing-
ton from all parts of the Burley
district indicate that the crop OF
white. hurley tobacco this year
will fall short of that of last year
From the most reliable estimates
at hand this years crop will be
about IS per cent. of that of 1913,
Government statistics, according
to the statement of the Burley
officials, show that last years
crop aggregated 2I5,ooo,ooo lbs.
A shrinkage of IS per cent. will
mean that the crop will be short
approximately 100000 lbs,
and this shortage will, it is be-
Iieved materially boost the price
at the beginning of the buying
season which is expected to open
in November. The shortage of
the crop is said to be due to a
bad stand" followed by the
effects of the protracted drouth
which retarded the growth of the

WAR EFFECTS TRADE

Financial disturbances Incl
dental to the European rumpus
has to some extent demoralized
live stock trade, while grain and
provision markets have Jared
little better. Naturally hogs and
provisions have suffered most.
The situation has been aggravat-
ed by the closing, temporarily at
least. of all European outlets
That market is clamorous for
grain and meats, but means OF
transportation are lacking. The
upheaval in financial circles
across the Atlantic has merely
added to the pandemonium.
Obviously this condition can not
be permanent. America must
feed Europe, or that continent
will starve. Martial history
demonstrates that war means in

II has been estimated that the
amount of coal which will be
dug out of the ground in the
United States during the pres
ent year will be greater by far
than the total excavation for the
Panama Canal.
Experts for the United States
geological survey have estimated
that originally there was enough
coal in this country to make a
solid block 10 miles long, 10
miles wide and 10 miles high.
A block of this size would
weigh more than 3,5oo,ooo,ooo,-
900 tons, and up to the present
time the coal that has been re-
moved amounts only to some
thing like I5,ooo,ooo,ooo tons.
The coal mined during 1914 will
amount to about 6oo,ooo,ooo
tons, con ntaining about oo,ooo,- :
900 cubic yards. The total ex-
cavation for the Panama Canal
from start to finish is computed
at some 262, ,ooo, 900 cubic yards.
The comparison indicates in
striking way the extent of the
coal mining industry in the
United States. The output of
coal is enormous, but it is in
creasing year by year. The
amount of coal so far taken out
is but a fraction of what remains,
according to the estimates of the
geologists. The people of this
country, however, are using
more coal every year, and with
the exhaustion of some of the
European coal fields already in
sight the demand for American
coal will increase enormously.
The history of coal mining IN
the United States covers only a
period of about a century.
There was some mining of an
thractie in Penn sylvania as far
back as 1890, but the records of
the anthracite coal trade usually
begin with the year 1920. The
first actual mining is belleved to
have been in Virginia, though
the records of production in that
State date from 1922. The pres
ence of coal in Ohio was found
as far back as 1755, but the re-
cord of output begins with 1887.
The history of coal mining in
Kentucky begins IN 1927, but IN
184o the production had reached
23,527 tons.
Kentucky's coal industry suf-
fered greatly during the Civil
War. In 1860 the production
had reached 285,76o tons, but in
1864 it was under 1000 tons, and
in 1870 it was only I5o,582 tons.
Since that time progress has
been continuous until last year a
maximum output of about co.
100000 tons was reached
