MINERS ALWAYS READY
TO MEET OPERATORS
LeuOis Makes This Reply to
Secretary DaUis.

INDIANAPOLIS. March (Associated
ress).--John L. Lewis, president OF the
United Mine Workers of America, COM
menting on Secretary of Labor Daviss
statement. declared the miners have
been ready and now are ready to meet
with the operators at any time and
place to negotiate a new agreement that
will avert suspension of operations In
the coal industry"
Mr.. Lewis's statement was issued at
session of the International executive
board of the union after board members
had read the text of Secretary Davis's
appeal. Board members were said to
have received the Labor Departments
statement with approval.
ST. LOUIS, March 9.-Frank harrington,
president Of the Illinois United Mine
Workers of America, to-day said he was
willing to attend any conference called
by Secretary Davis, providing the oper-
ators of the central competitive field
accepted the invitation.
In the event the operators refuse, Mr..
Harrington said, and President John L..
Lewis of the Mine Workers is unable to
arrange joint conference, the Illinois
miners will go ahead with separate
negotiations with the operators of the
State in accordance with Mr. Earring
toms telegram to the international head
quarters yesterday.

circles to-day to conceal the fact that
the Davis statement was one result of
the repeaed refusal OF Pennsylvania and
other mine operators in the central COM
petitive field to enter negotiations look
ing to another national wage agreement
The statement said:
"The Secretary's action is heartily
approved by President Harding. None
Of the Government officials in touch
with the threatened GOAL situation can

in the bituminous coal industry, and
particularly in the present situation,

as those of the anthracite operators and
miners called for New York City. March
Is, give to each side an opportunity to
go into every phase of the disputed
factors. and can only result in better
understanding.
THE course suggested by Secretary
Davis Is only an expression OF the earn
est conviction OF the public, as ia evil
denced by scores of editorials In the
leading newspapers of the country. that
until such meeting is held in accord
ance with q previous understanding, the
two sides to the coal situation have
not discharged the obligations resting
upon them.
"The Government has no desire to in
terfere unduly, but having not only the
interests of the employers and en-
ployees in mind. it also has a dlYty to
safeguard the interests of the people
who will be seriously affected by the
suspension of coal mining. Secretary
Davis cannot see why. in the interest of
common sense. the two sides to the
coal controversy cannot get together
and adjust their differences, and save the
country from the costly results of a
strike"

MT. Connolly insisted that the com

and that the existence OF the fund made
IL possible for the company to have
operated without loss during the period
OF high operating costs in 1918 and
1919. and probably to pay dividends.
Justice Pitney asked whether the fund
did not represent private property be-
longing to the company which could
have been divided among the stock
holders and Justice Brandeis inquired
whether the fund was not created to
meet other contingencies than made

It was trust fund belonging to the

(From -Laurinburg Exchange, Aug

John Stevens lost his $4,000 dam
age suit against the Laurinburg q
Southern Railway company in SUI
perior court at Raeford last week.
Stevens, it will be. remembered, was
struck by Laurinburg & Southern
train at crossing between Laurin-
burg and Wagram several months
ago and more or less seriously in
iured. He claimed the accident was
due largely to the fact he could not
see the train approaching, but evi,
dhnce in rebuttal was offered to
show that one approaching this
particular crossing can see a train
for some distance away and there
is little excuse for driving onto the
track in front of a train. The jury
returned a verdict favorable to tho
defendant railroad company.

EARLY HISTORY or
MONTGOMERY COUNTY

written by H. G. Scarboro in Troy
Montgomerian.)
On the 31st of March, 1913, the
court house at Lawrenceville was
burned, and with it all the records
of the county were destroyed, save
one book, accidently left in an at.
torney's room at the McRae Hotel
This was terrible calamity to the
county. All the pending suits had
to be revived and witnesses had to
repruyA their Hckea with great con
fusion and cost. At this Tune there
was considerable agitation and ex-
element as to the location of the
new county seat nearer the center
of the county. The commissioners
first selected White Oak Springs
near B. Deberry's, then they recon-
sidered the matter and left it to a
vote of the people of the county.
! A majority voting in favor of the
location at West Old Field, where
Troy court house now stands, The
court house and Jail was complet
ed in 1916 and the records were
moved to Troy in August, 1916. The
Hon. Thomas Settle presided at the
first term of court in the new build
ing and Robert Strange was solici
tor.
The commissioners of the count!
at this time were Col. ]. L. Gains
William Coggin, Zebedee Russell
: Martin Rush, Thomas E. ScarborC
and T. L. Cotton. The new count.
seat was named Troy in memory o
the old popular state solicitor

Troy was named for John B. Troy

In fact, the clerk of the superio
/ court who served from 1871 to 1S4S
t never saw John B. Troy in Mont
gomery county.
There were two hotels in Troy
this time, one by William Lassite
and the other by Captain Duncal
