GOVERNORS INSPECT
". VA. COAL DISTRICT
Look Over Towns Which Were
"Shot Up" in Recent Fighting

Charleston. w. Va, Feb. rs
Governor Cornwall, accompanied by
Governor-elect Morgan who will
succeed him March yesterday visit
ed and inspected the working of the
Willis Branch Coal Co. in Fayette
county and the surrounding villa ges
where much heavy gun fighting took
place February 49,. Upon the re-
turn they said the town had been
literally shot off the face of the
map"
The trip was in response to re-
quest fof additional armed protection
but the governor-e1ect declined to
say what he would do after assuming
Office.
Governor Cornwall however, des-
cribing the village said:
Its citizens have abandoned, leav-
ing personal effects, furnitureF and
livestock be. i. With the exception
of the half furnished dogs, cats and
chickens. which wander about the
streets and a squad of state police
on duty near the station. the town
is devoid of life. The company store,
Office, post office, mine foreman's
home and 65 of the remaining 81
cottages are riddled with rifle bull
let's. The condition of other cot
tages shows they have been burned
or wrecked with dynamite"
''Shot Up Every Week"
The governor said he learned that
every week for the past year the
town has been shot up" Men who
work in the neighboring mines, he
added, are blamed by the coal
operators for these attacks.
Williams McMillen, the general
manager of the coal company said:
Miners in this whole section
struck September l, 1919. The
operators generally yielded to the
demands of the workers but this
company decided to make finish
fight Of it, and it has been a fight
over since. Poles carrying electric
current to the mine were blown up.
Two charges al dynamite wrecked
both inclines. The hoist house was
broken into and its machinery des-
troyed. The Sppfe was fired and
badly damaged. On February 10
the sub station was blown up by a
charge Of dynamite, the explosion
being heard n miles away"

CHEER UP!

Remember this:
When Abraham Lincoln was a
young man he ran for the Legislature
in Illinois, and assbadly swamped.
He next entered business. failed,
and spent seventeen years of his life
paying up the debts of worthless
partner.
Entering politics again, he ran for
congress again and was badly defeat
ed. He then tried to get an appoint
ment to the U. S. Land Office but
failed.
He became a candidate for the U.
S. senate, and was badly defeated.
In 1856 he became a candidate for
the vice-presidency and was again de-
feated.
In 1858 he was defeated by Doug
las.
One failure after another-bad
failures, great set-backs. In the
face of all this, he eventually became
one of the country's greatest men, if
not the greatest.
When you think of a series of set
backs like this, doesn't it make you
feel kind of small to become dis
couraged, just because you think you
are having a hard time of it?
Abraham Lincoln prepared him.
self in advance for the things that
might happen in the future He an
ticipated circumstances and was thus
able to meet them when they came
Are you anticipating the years
ahead of you, when the stress of time
will bear heaviest on your physical eff
