Warning has been sounded in

the coal barons are pulling the
wires preparatory to another
holdup in the price of coal next
winter.
1t is not surprising.
On the contrary, it is quite to
be expected.
Oficialdom has boosted loudly
and long of dire punishments to
be inflicted upou gougers. In
fact, there has been so much of
blowing and bunk there has
been no room left for action.
Coal barons know this. They
have profted for it in the past,
and they expect to do so in the
future.
The public has been MIXED so
often and so successfully the
barons cannot conceive of the
possibility of a kick that would
upset the bucket.
A United States senator has
given public and timely warning
of the scheme.
1t is up to some one to thwart
it.

Editor News


AS my correspondence to your
columns has been for a time neg
lected, proper reason shall be
assigned. Shortly after my last
letter, my health gave way while
/ was principal of a z months
school in Wilson county of this
state. The indications were ia
vorable to appendicitis; and it
was necessary to leave an un-
finished term. The beginning
of sorrows was an epidemic of
of Flu, and both my assistants
and l were placed under tribute.
Hitherto 1 had been fortunate
enough to escape; but the region
in which l taught had many
cases of a very malignant type.
However, partially recovered,
but what I thought was appen-
dicitis turned out to be intesti-
nal Indigestion. slowly rallied
from that, and was elected prin-
cipal of a fve-teacher school in a
town of 500 inhabitants. Here |
had a serious attack of acute in
digestion; and later grip" for
a third time in my life; and had
a bad wound in the wrist which
became infected. But / lost no
time; for the ethics of teaching
requires that you draw your
breath and your salary.
While l have seen that four
of my children received high
school training and two college
equipment; and another of my
sons has arranged to attend Be-
rea College, at Berea. Kentucky;
my financial success reminds one
of a Chicago episode. Two men
were talking, when an old man
passed along. One remarked to
the other, twenty-five years
ago that old man came here, and
his stock in trade was a basket
of fruit, and now what do you
suppose he is WORTH" Zone
Million" was the response.
s'No." Two million? was the
next guess. "No," was again
the reply. "Then how much is
he WORTH" asked the other.
''Not q DID cent. and still owes
for the basket, was the answer.
But | have worked hard in the
educational vineyard, have tried
to be a good, industrious citizen;
but am not pre-eminent as a f.
nancier. But / am in good and
numerous company; for Abra-
ham Lincoln said that the Lord
loved poor folks, or he would
not have made so many of them.
Do you know that at Ga, my
mind foudly reverts to school
scenes at Tabor, when Col. Lu-
Glen, Judge Rollin, Sheriff R. M,
Matte, Cora Hurt; and Bascom,
Ella, Ada, Kate Garnett; with
Belle, Corinna, Loren and Sgd
ney Snow were my companions
and school mates? Neither have
I forgotten Mrs. M. E. Dohoney
Hurt; Mrs. Susan Miller Hurt,
Bob Connver, Philip Vols, A. R.
Ben and Billy Pile. Later, l re-
call part of the same force at
M. and F. High School, and the
forensic and oratorical contests

imagined the citizenship of my
first territory raising a wailing,

sis of The Bible" with the unc-
ton of the sweet singer of cap

waters of imperial Babylon.

and tried to make me see that
the ancient and sad-eyed crow
bait he purchased was a fierce
and speedy charger.
She was ruin; but not mon
umental. She was neither
swifter than an eagle nor strong
er than a lion. Her hind hoofs
toed in, and her front hoofs toed
out. She was not giddy, sport
i've; and could easily have proved
an alibi had she been called fast.
1 wore a pair of military spurs
and carried a cowboy quirt to
accelerate her speed. Her fast
est squirt of speed was a mile in
IL minutes; and she turned a
complete summersault at the
home stretch, and it was not a
graceful one, either.
Later, plead for something
that didn't look like a disman-
tied fortress wearing bride;
and the same jockey bought me
another Bucephalus. He had a
neck like a giraffe, one eye had
lost its pupil and was spectral
and glazing. Thunder never
disturbed his day dreams; for he
could not hear the peal that
awoke the Seven Sleepers. I
told my friend that this was not
what l called a model boss; but
he told me L was a book-worm
and no Judge. That this animal
was sired by a wild zebra, did
by the whole American public;
and that his unique proportions
would be a lure and a spell-bind-
er to all prospective customers.
1t was a case of "Fobson's
choice" and I ascended his DOR
sal fin. Sometimes he fell down
hill; and, at others, reversed the
laws of gravity and fell up hill.
