HARTFORD HI TO HAVE
GOOD Il. Il. TEAM

Plans. are already being laid for the
coming basket ball season. The
champion team of last year will lose
three good men in the parsonage of
Williams, Robertson and Ellis. but
will have Lem" Grove, Junior Shuts
and Bartlett to build the new ma
chine around.
Prof. Rhoads will handle the secre-
terial end of the team. and Prof.
Shultz who has had quite a bit of
experience coaching, will handle the
coaching Of the team. All roads
point to a successful season. The
state championship might have been
won by the team of last year but the
team wants to work with the idea in
view that they will win 1t this time.
Glass teams will be organized and
a schedule arranged which will work
off the losers and at the same time
give the Hi team plenty of good
hard practice. Hard scrapping in
the practice games will turn out a
team.

MINERS WAR ENDS IN
THE w. VA. COAL FIELDS

For more than a year there has
been a state of friction bordering on
and sometimes actually breaking out
in open warfare between the coal min
ers and operations in the West Vir-
ginia coal field Following a strike
in 1920, the operators evicted the
striking miners from company
houses. The miners procured tents
and remained in the community. Lat
er in the year occurred the clash be-
tween miners and company guards
and dputy sheriffs in which eleven
persons were killed and many wound
cd.
Ten days ago the trouble broke out
afresh in Mingo county and about sew
en- thousand miners, many of them
armed, gathered from many points
in the group of coal fields and much
violence again occurred when local
authorities attempted to dispense the
crowd. The state authorities, being
unable or unwilling to straighten out
the trouble, called for federal troops.
Two thousand regulars were sent to
ths scene of the trouble the latter
part of last week. Upon the arrival
of the soldiers the mob dispersed.
For the serious trouble that occur
red press comment censures both the
operators and the miners. The OPP
orators assumed an unyielding atti-
tude. refusing to arbitrate their diff
fercnces with their employees. Then
following a resort to mob force on
the part of the miners which resulted
in the sending of regular troops to
the troubled territory. As a result of
the prolonged struggles perhaps a
half hundred or more men have been
killed and the companies have lost
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
profits and the men much more in
wages, and still the dispute appears
no nearer settlement than before. The
West Virginia mine troubles like
II use in Kansas have taxed the pa
tience of the people who are the in
nocent victims of such clashes and if
such troubles are much prolonged
the government may be forced to re-
luctantly provide compulsory
means of adjusting them, which
may not prove wholly to the liking
of either the operators or the men.

SCHOOL FUND AMENDMENT

At the approaching election two
amendments to the State constitution
are to- be voted on One of these
amendments has to do with the pub
sic school fund.
The amended school law provides
that the minimum salaries for public
school teachers. shall be SIS per
month. The per capita school fund
is determined by dividing the total
State school fund by the number Of
children OF school age in the State,
which rule gives the amount of such
fund available for each county. An
other provision of the school law al
lows each county to vote a special tax
not exceeding so cents on the 800
worth of property, but which must
equal 25 cents, to supplement the
State fund for payment of teachers.
Under these provisions one-third
of the counties in the State are un-
able, except by voting a burdeRsome

A STORY OF BAD ROADS
IN THE COUNTY OF LEE

In the season of alternating frost
and rain I havesseen some remarka-
bly, bad roads in western Kentucky,
but l have never experienced anything
to approach a condition of a road in
Lee county, according to story told
me recently by Lilburn Phelps, sec
rotary of the Republican state central
committee. 1t was a story of three
mules in team of four being drown
ed in a mudhole on road in that
county; not road in creek bed, as
high up on the mountain side.
Lee is a mountainous county and
the farms are limited to small strips
of ground on either side of the small
mountain streams, and extend as far
up the mountain side as the land is
possible Of cultivation. The mud
hole fatal to the mule team was far
up on the mountain side at a point
where a small rill had washed silt
and leaves against a slat fence. 1t
was during the development of that
rich oil field, and the heavy hauling
of oil drilling machinery had cut the
road into one continuous mud thor
oughfare. The driver whose mules
were drowned was unfamiliar with
the road and was Mortified to see his
team sinking into the soft mud at the
point mentioned. and at the serious
risk of being drawn down with the
team, succeeded in saving one of the
four mules.

MAN MEETS DEATH
IN STRANGE ACCIDENT

Denver Wilson, son of Mr.. Lutte
Wilson, a farmer living near Horse
Branch, came to his death Saturday
by one of strangest accidents ever
known in the county.
The young man was carrying an
eight gallon stone jar through the
kitchen in his fathers home,when he
stumbled over a molasses jug and
fell, breaking the jar. In falling a
sharp point of the vessel caught him
just under the throat, severing his
windpipe and inflicting wounds from
which he died about four hours later.
DR.. j. A. Duff attended the wounded
man, but the injury was too serious
for successful treatment.

Many Thousands OF Acres
Of Rich Lowlands To

Work on the largest drainage pro-

will begin this aweek, on the 6.47

prong OF Adams Fork about mile
south of Ellmitch and extending to
the mouth of the Wimsatt Run, below

for use 1t will require six months
Ior probably longer to complete the
work
In addition TO the main stem 6.4I
in length there will be about five
miles of lateral bitches extending up
the north prong of Adams Fork and
up the Smiths creek valley The to-
tai area to be drained by this project
is bout $4,000 acres and the work.
including court cost and surveys, will
cost approximately $4,000.
Notwithstanding the large cost in

without protest or lawsuit on the part
of the landowners at interest. The
ditch will drain one of the richest sec
tons OF the county and wiz add, ac-
cording to a statement of Judge John
