total for August, A

The above figures show that
we win over Pineville by 100,
over London, by 10S, and over
Corbin, by 222. This certainly
looks good for Barbourville.
Now it did not happen by
chance but by earnest effort on
the part of a number of good peo-
pie, among our most enthusiastic
workers were Mr.. and Mrs. J. S.
Hignite, who used their car and
put forth every effort to bring in
the pupils, making several trips
each Sunday, ]. w. Croley, S. A.
Smith, j. H. Lawson, w. H.
Green, S. B. Hopper and others
used their cars to bring in the
boys and girls. A good deal of
talk and persuasion was given by
almost all the church.
The church and especially the
Superintendent are very grateful
to each and every one whom any
way contributed to this victory,
this shows that when we begin a
thing that we mean it. The Lord
surely blesses honest effort, and
helps those who helps them
selves.
Fraternally,

To THE Doctors, MIDwIvEs AND
PARENTS OF KNOX COUNTY:
We now have Scarlet fever in
Barbourville and on Smoky creek.
The law makes it a fine for a
Doctor to fail to report case in
his practice, of scarlet fever,
small pox, diphtheria, opthalmia

less of whom it is, that fails to
make proper reports on prevent
able diseases. Every force that
is now organized for the control
of germs or filth spreading di-

An Anomaly of
Price.Fixing.

One Of the anomalies of price
fixing as applied to the bitumin-
Gus coal trade is the discovery Of
one railroad official that the price
named for the grade of coal which
his road is using is more than
forty per cent above what he is
paying for 1t under an existing
contract, while a coal operator in
the Middle West finds that more
than half the product of his mine
is being sold at one-third less
than the President says he shall
receive. The fact is that FEEDER
al Trade Commission could not
possibly make an examination of
coal cost which would adequately
cover the field of production and
distribution. and that the data
upon which prices Were determ-
ined was 50 incomplete that their
application will result in as much
OF hardship as of benefit.

Fire 200 Shots at w. E,
Gum and Employees,
WOunding 3 Men

Mr.. w. E. Gum and a party
of 6 or s employees was fired on
this morning from ambush near
his mines. About 200 shot were
fired and as a result Mr.. ellis
Johnson is thought to be fatally
wounded. G.. Patton Cline and
Mr.. W. E. Gum the owner of the
mine also received stray shots.
The firing squad is believed to
have come over from the Mingo
side, but the scheme seems to
have been concocted and conniv-
ed at by members of the union in
the Stony Fork side as already all
the miners in the vicinity Of Log
mont mines are presenting alibis.
Mr.. Gum believes it was not
intended by the firing squad to
wound any one except ellis John
son, but that there can be nc
doubt of the murderous intent as
to him. Mr.. Johnson received the
discharge of shot gun direct in
the face and breast-at close range
and it appears the ambusher in.

work.

How To Give Good Advice

The best way to give good adj
vice is to set a good example.

or sympathizers with them in
'defying the law will possibly
bring about drastic action OH the
part of the authorities. Also it
is awaited with interest what ac-
ton the officers OF the United
Mine Workers will take as they
have always protested they were
opposed to lawlessness and would
be able to govern the members
of the union accordingly. If the
union can not discipline its mem.
bership in one respect it will be
powerless in another, and in law.
lessness of this nature, where
murder is attempted, by the most
ignoble tactics, ambushing, there
will be no other alternative ex-
cept the law of the common
wealth. The union by this attack
whether concocted by it or not
will ALLEVIATE the friendship of all
lawabiding citizens and will
prompt the very severest meas
ures in dealing with it to the ex-
tent law and order will be again
established in this community.
The present prices of coal and
labor trouble ore not an induce
ment to the operators to resume
work. The union or sympathizers
of it will not expediate the differ
ence here but will create a state
of feeling it was hoped both sides
would avoid. Pinnacle News.

was an ardent advocate of a larg-

Daniels was either silent on the

the power of the United States
on the sea. Now that Thompson
has been INDICATED, Daniels
would like to have him obscured.
Some such similar feeling may
account for the unwillingness of
the President to have either Col.
Roosevelt or General Wood as
signed to any prominent place in
the prosecution of this war. Both
of these men were shouting for
preparedness long before Presi-
dent Wilson declared with utmost
deliberation that we have not

ROW AT WILTON;
NO ONE HURT

Last Wednesday morning news
came here that the strki ng
miners and the operators were
into a fight. The Sheriff was
called, excitement ran high for
awhile, and people were afraid
that something was awfully
wrong. The Sheriff went to Will
ton taking two or three men with
him and upon his ar ! he be-
gan to get the fello together
who started the alteration. 1t
was found that some of the
miners had let go a few shots,
and that the same was returned
by the operators or their men.
There was no blood spilled, but
it might have happened had not
the men stopped to think for a
moment and then the reflection
came to them that they were all
neighbors and friends except that
one is making a demand that
they believe is right and the
other is resisting that demand be-
cause they believe it wrong.
We know the men at Wilton,
there is no where to be found a
better community than at Wilton;
the men who compose the miners
union are all good citizens, with
more than the ordinary intelli-
gence; they mean well, but like
all men they are full of vim and
vigor and might for the moment
forget themselves.
We also know the operators,
they are good men, they too are
standing up for what they be-
lieve to be their rights in these
matters; they do not intend to do
violence or to violate the law, but
they, like the men, are human;
they are full of red blood and they
might for the moment forget
themselves. We do not intend
to call names or single any one
out, but the best men to be found
anywhere will be found in the
two contending factions and we
hope that they will soon come to
an understanding as in the days
of long ago and take each other
back to the confidence that each
are entitled to from the other.
The North JellicO Coal Co, have
been operating in this county
longer than any other concern,
and they have been successful in
the way of getting along with
their men, and for break to
come now is surely apity, and is
to be regretted by all.

There must be a change. The government itself APP

can be of benefit only to the enemies OF the nation. But
the private citizen must himself come to a realization

SHORTAGE OF MEAT ANIMALS

For some time there has been a great shortage Of
good meat animals throughout the entire country, and
the prospects are that this shortage will continue. and
that 1t will become more pronounced rather that other
wise. High cattle prices. with high prices for feed,
and in some cases a shortage Of feed, has caused the
marketing Of thousands Of animals which were not fit
for market. In order to relieve themselves of the ex-
pense of feeding stock men have sent to market a large
proportion of their breeding animals. This year there
are many sections Of the northwest where there is an
actual feed famine. and more breeders will be sacrificed
for what they will bring.
Director Cooper, Of the North Dakota experiment
station sets forth the condition in a statement which
should be widely read. And, while many farmers and
stock men will find it necessary to sacrifice animals
which would otherwise be kept for breeding, that sacri-
noe should not be made where 1t can be avoided, for the
time will soon come when the progeny of these animals
will be in demand.
The conditions appear to point especially to the wis
dom OF the farmers in this section preparing themselves
for the raising Of large numbers of hogs. Cattle multi
ply slowly, and mature slowly. A COW produces one
calf. and ordinarily 1t takes the calf two years to be in
the best marketable condition. A SOW will produce
six or eight pigs at a litter. Properly managed she will
yield two litters a year. And each litter can be
marketed to advantage at from six to eight months old.
Cattle raising has its own place. and a very important
one. But for quick results the hog is a pretty good
animal to tie to.
