the question. Obtaining recogni-

A HINT TO THE WISE.

From all outward appearances it looks as If Morgan
county is on the eve of business boom such she has
not had for two decades But there is cloud still
hanging omnousy the business horizon and that is
the wildcat titles which the Continental Coal Land and
Timber Co., of New York. still hold to about Is per cent
of the land in this county, These socalled capitalists and
wouid-be pioneers of development in Eastern Kentucky
sought to obtain their holdings from those who had not
shadow of legal title They claim that they were decev
ed and make the plea that they the ones who have
been wronged but up to this good hour they have utterly
failed to make good their promises to quiet these titles
and begin business in Morgan county in legitimate and
business-like way.
There are said to be some honest connected with
these crooked deals but the few honest don't seem to
be making much progress toward eavening the loaf 10
casual observer the whole bunch presents the appearance
of set of buccaneers and landprates who intend to
cling to their illegal holdings with the tenacty of bull
dog and never let go until the people of this and adon
ING counties rise in their might and beat them off with
whatsoever weapons that may be the most convenient
One of the methods used by this gang to come with
Aattering promises of business development and then
when their plans fail to materaze to some of their
own associates of being crooked and say that he must be
gotten rid of before development go on There is
externally loose cog in the whee-ther machinery utter
ly fails to work. The truth Of the whole matter is that
this bunch of shysers have intention of doing egiti-
mate business in this county, If they did they would
nuish their wildcat titles and purchase the land and
timber from the real owners Their purpose is to budoze
and browbea the people in the hope of preventing de-
LAYING development until the landowners become disgust
ed and disheartened and sell them their lands for next
nothing
Don't be hoodwinked. They will continue to come
with hattering promises Don't be beguied like Eve was
by the serpent in the garden You sign your own death
warrant when you deal with who would disposses'
YOU of your home on the strength of the AmYX or the
Reynolds patents These shysers know very well how
get the confidence and the cooperation of the peo
pie of Morgan county, but they seemingly have no inen
ton of doing it. If there be honest among them j
is high time they breaking loose from the old gang
and beginning to do business egitmately.
The COURIER has repeatedly offered them space t.
explain their position but satisfactory explanation has
ever been made That offer still holds good but it is
safe bet that it will not be accepted.
But, gentlemen don't fatter yourselves that you arr
call in clover" There are few people in Morgan coun
ty who not asleep The COURIER still has your gan@
under surveillance You will hear from us from time tt

years ago he built what might be
termed an iron-clad corn crib on

that it could be classed rat-proof.

WHY GREAT ALEXANDER WEPT
Sat Down and Cried After Conquest of
India Because He Didn't Know
Way Back, Said Tommy.

The teacher was telling his class
about the conQuests of Alexander the
Great He made the tale a stirring
one, and at last reached the conquest
Of India. Wishing to impress the chill
dren, he said, When Alexander had
conquered India, what do you think
he did? Do you think he gave a great
feast to celebrate his triumph? No;
he sat down and wept!"
The children seemed to be a little
disappointed at this childish exhibit
ton on the part of the hero; so the
teacher continued. Now, why do
you think Alexander wept?" he asked.
Up went a little hand; but when
its owner saw it was the only one in
view, he hurriedly withdrew it.
Come on now, Tommy" said the
teacher in his most persuasive voice,
why do you think Alexander wept?"
Please, sir" said Tommy hesitat-
ingly, perhaps he didn't know the
way ck!"-Youth's Companion.

SUPPLIES ALWAYS ON HAND
British Claim to Have Made Transport
System to the Front as Perfect as
Is Possible.

When it is mentioned that 1000 tons
Of goods-food and other necessities-
are sent every day from the base de-
pots to the firing line Of the British
army, some idea of the gigantic task
Of the army service viii be gathered
This enormous weight of goods, says
Harold Begbie, comes almost entirely
from England, for we are not buying
in France even so perishable a neces-
sity as milk Vast stores are brought
from England and loaded into sheds
at the base depcts-
All day by motor dory and railway
truck supplies for the troops are sent
out from these base depots to stores
as near as possible to the firing lines.
And Just as reserves are accumulated
in the docks, so reserves are accumu-
lated near the front, since an accident
to the railways might cut on the night
ing soldiers supplies
On one occasion there was a delay
on the railways Of Sc hours, but not
only did the soldier at tbs front get
all his food and ammunition, but he
did not even have to draw on the re-
serves I have mentioned; regimental
stores were sufficient for his need.
Everything goes by clOckwork- There
is no room for an accident.-London
