ISSUE CARRIES BY
LARGE MAJORITY

At the election last Tuesday prop
osition authorizing the issue of $780,
900 in bonds for paving the streets of
Louisa was voted on and II carried by
an overwhelming majority. The vote
in the upper ward was A to / and in
the lower ward 7s to 8. making total
of 1873 to TO-
This is a very complimentary result,
showing the progressive spirit that has
taken hold Of Louisa citizens
The city is entirely out of debt and
has a nice sum In the treasury and due
from taxpayers and bonded ex-mar-
shall. The total of these sums amounts
to almost ten thousand dollars.
The bond proposition contemplates
paving Water Main Cross. Jefferson

Perry. Main, Madison and Franklin
streets, and Lock avenue. This covers
all the main streets in the city.
State aid will be procured for Lock

COAL STRIKE IS
UP AGAINST LAW
and PUBLIC WRATH.
Court Injunction and the Army
Brought Into Play to Save the Ma
tion from Gold and Hunger in This.
HoId-u up.

Union coal miners in four States
struck last Saturday for sixty per cent
increase in wages, six hours to con-
stitute days work, and five days to
be called week.
The United States government i'm
mediately shipped soldiers to various
points and an injunction was issued
restraining the officers of the United
Mine Workers from taking any part
whatever in the strike, or from paving
out of their treasury any money to,
strikers for their support during the
strike. This has stopped them so ef-
fectively that II the injunction is made
permanent the men will be glad to re-
turn to work very soon. The injunc-
tion proceedings will be heard in court
at indianapolis Saturday.
The U. s. Attorney General charges
that the strike is illegal.
President Wilson denounces it as
Illegal unjustified and immoral, and
he is taking every step possible to end
the outrage. Public sentiment was
never so bitter against strikes as it is
at present.
Both houses of Congress have almost
unanimously adopted resolution in
dorsing the action of the President and
other officials. Only the traitor La
Toilette opposed it in the Senate.
One Senator declared it was time to
put an end to methods that permit
100000 foreigners and traitorous ma
tives to force 109,500.000 citizens to
their knees upon threat of freezing and
starving them to death. 1t sounds en-
couraging to hear such timely words
coming from Congress, where hereto
fore the fear of the labor vote has
caused the politicians of that body to-
permit anarchy to have free rein in
the United States.
At present rates of pay coal miners
who viii work can make from five to
twelve dollars per day. The best class,
the loyal American citizens want to
work steadily, but the strikers in this
and other lines make it impossible.
Railroad strikes stop the miners. Mill
strikes stop the demand for coal. Ma
rine strikes stop the export trade. AndA
SO It goes. The laboring men cut their
own throats at a time when they couldg
be more prosperous than ever before
in their lives. The agitators and or
ganizers are the only ones who prosper
on strikes and If the government win
stop their salaries by injunction, or IL
Congress will pass laws to stop them,
these troubles will pass away
The high cost Of living would soon
disappear If every man in every line
would work nine or ten hours a day
six days in the week. Production
would catch up with the demands with
in a year and prices would get down
to the right basis. Labor would have
more to show for its work than ever
before, because wages are higher than
ever known. 1t would also eliminate
the argument that we must bring for
eigners in here to do part of our work.
Idleness and short days on the part of
the people here is what is causing high

BOOST FOR HARD
ROADSNLAWRENCE

Just few words to my friends and
relatives in dear old Lawrence county.
/ picked up the Big Sandy News last

renee had walked up and had made one
wise step toward prosperity. left my

Our county seat is 20 miles away and
lots of times have told my wife to
have breakfast ready by the time l got
back, would jump in my tin lizzie and
go to the county sent and back for my
breakfast, and then put in a fun days
work. So YOU can see what ii means
to you.
/ am further proud to say that the
people of Lawrence county have the
looks and brains, but sorry to say that
they have no roads. / would like very
much to make Lawrence county my
home, but will assure you that could
not be satisfied there on account, of
the conditions of roads. You know
yourself it is the nearest and dearest
to me of any place in the world, as /
was born and raised there and have so
many good friends in the county.
Hoping / will have the pleasure in
reading in the paper where hard roads
has carried unanimously and hoping
you all luck and prosperity, but Boost

Price Of Gas is
Raised in Louisa

In another column will be found
notice Of another increase in the price
of natural gas to Louisa consumers
effective December 1st. The United
Fuel Gas Company gives as the reason
for this the increased price OF produc-
.tion.
The new price is forty cents per
thousand cubic feet, with five cents dis
count allowed for payment within a
certain limit. The price heretofore>has
been from zoe to 25c net.
From the comments heard it is going
to be hard to convince the public that
an increase of that extent is justified.
1t is not difficult to understand that
the big jump in price is very unwel-
come and unpopular move on the part
of the gas company.

HEReERT THoMPsoN KILLED.

The following is from the Hunting
ton Herald Dispatch:
Word reached Huntington that on
Friday Rual Farley. son OF VIII Far
ley. a prohibition officer who was MUIR
dered In his home late In the summer
had shot and severely wounded Charles
Spry, but lately acquitted of his faith
er's murder, and killed on the spot
Herbert Thompson, supposed to have
been directly or indirectly concerned
in the feud
The trial of Spry one of the most
,stubbornly contested and exciting held
in Logan n-co.. in years. was but lately
concluded. and he was acquitted OF the
charge OF having been one of the men
who invaded the home OF VIII Farley.
a deputy prohibition officer when the
officer was murdered In his bed. The
murder OF Farley created big sensa-
ton not only in the immediate Harts
creek district, but throughout the
state owing to the boldness and nature
OF the crime, and the fact that an effort
wns being made to break up moon
shining In field said to be extremely
fertile.
Spry was implicated chiefly by the
fact that Rual Farley claimed at the
time to have recognized him and to
have cried out calling the names OF
some OF the men In the invading party.
Young Rual Farley assuming that
jussce had miscarried, and that the
man he believed to have been the
murderer of his father was being per-
mitted to go free took the matter into
1,ia own hands and attempted to even
the score by killing Spry.
