LETCHER COUNTY
AND WHITESBURG.
What is Happening in this
Rich Coal Territory
of kentucky.

WHITESBURG, KY, sept l4.-State
Forester j. h. Barton was here the
past week comforting with Letcher Of
ticials on matters looking to the pro-
lection of the forests of the county.
Forester Barton insists that some Of
the most disastrous forest fires of the
past have been solely through the ne
elect of moonshiners, who. in some in
stances have been known to put out
fire in, order to confuse revenue men,
or to mslead them from knowing the
location OF their still by smoke from
the camp. Forester Barton is determ-
med that the ruthless waste of the val
liable timber of the molntain country
through forest fires and other causes
is thing of the past; that those gull
ty of such will be dealt with To the eN-
treme penalty. The Eastern kentucky
Virginia Forest Protective Association
recently organized at jenkins in this
county will do much good in forest
protection, and will look closely to the
offenders.

Farmers coming here from most all
sections of the county tell of poor corn
crops. the poorest in years, through
out the country.
1t seems that the heavy washouts
early in the season and the continued
late rains resulted disastrously for the
staple crop.
Farmers generally this year made a
great effort to produce more corn than
ever before, consequently one of the
largest areas in years was put out.
The mountain fruit crop is the near
est failure, also, in many years owing
to the disaster wrought by the pear
and apple blight which swept the
state from east to west 1t especially
resulted disastrously over Eastern
Kentucky

A large exodus of farmers Of Letch-
er county are moving away 10 more
favorable locations in the farming
sections OF the country, many to the
Blue Grass and other sections of the
State.
A number of farmers from the
Blackey section have sold their farms
during the past few weeks and are
moving to Pulaski and Lincoln coun-
ties this state, while the same condi-
tons exist in all parts of the county.
In some instances the farmers are SELL
ing their lands. coal and timber prop
critics, at big prices, to the develop
ment concerns over this section. 1t is
with much reluctance that the native
farmers are leaving their nativity and
going to other countries, but the coun-
try is not adapted to farming and those
desiring to engage in that pursuit had
better seek more favorable location.

STUNNED BY THE MEXICANS
Caves Supposed to Be Possessed by
the Devil" Into Which None
Willingly Enter.

Ancient caves in different parts Of
Mexico often contain the skulls and
bones Of former inhabitants. whether
prehistoric or Of later times, some
times containing fine fashioned flint
implements.
"The natives, as a rule, fear to go
into these places. DO not enter, Sc
nor, they will say, as, with Anglo
Saxon lack of superstition, you deter
mine to explore them; some evil be-
falls those who NEEDLE with the re-
mains of the dead
"And if they are prevailed upon to
assist they cross themselves devoutly
before descending or entering. Weird
tales they unfold afterward Of men
who have gone into such places and
found their exit barred by some evil
spirit, they themselves having been
encountered dead and cold upon the
cavern floor when discovered by their
relatives, who had searched for the
missing one!
According to the poems, the scenes
of murder or wickedness which may
have taken place in such situations are
enacted again to the terrified vision
of the unhappy witness who had the
temerity to venture ito these places
possessed Of the devil, for the king
Of darkness is an ever-present and
active element of the poor Mexican's
superstitious world"
