 Montgomery, July 19-(Special) -- Governor Kilby wired President Harding today in answer to the Pres ieent's telegram Tuesday. that Ala be ma has no coal strike, that the general walkout last April in othe r states did not apply to Alabama and that there is no need for the use of special agencies in the coal district of this state at this time,
 The governor didn't say so In his telegram, but the reason Alabama miners are not involved now Is that the strike was held in 1920 and 1921 when national guardsmen were gent into the coal district and maintained 1 for many months at cost to the state of almost half million dollars.
 Governor Kilbys reply to Pres ident Harding follows: The coal strike order does not embrace oper- ations in Alabama. All Alabama mines are being operated at full ca pacity except as limited by shortage of cars, resulting from strike of railroad shopmen. Nevertheless I appreciate your tender of assistance In case of It's need. Your proposal for the resumption of coal produce tlon and your plan of arbitration are eminently fair, just and wise and offers means of relief to the country. The challenge the common sense. honesty of purpose and patriotism of every coal operator in the affected districts. The country is to be con graduated upon the firm and vigor- ous stand you are\ taking for the maintenance of law and order and the security of men who are willing 10 work in this emergency and for the progress of industry"

ESTIMATE OF BONUS

Washington, D. C.-The soldiers
bonus would cost the federal govern.
ment approximately $780, 100000 on
the basis of estimates prepared for the
house ways and means committee by
fiscal officers of the army, navy and
marine corps.
President Harding informed a group
of republican leaders OF the senate
and house that the soldiers bonus bill
must include provision for the rails
ing of necessary revenue and that 1t
must not impose too heavy burden
upon the public.
The conference was attended by
many republican members of the SEN
ate finance committee and the house
ways and means committee.
The president indicated his inten-
ton to offer no objections to bonus
legislation, provided revenue pro-
vision is coupled with the compensa-
tion features. He did not attempt to
dictate the manner in which the
money should be raised, but said he
would leave that to the members OF
the two committees.

ANCIENT TAVERN A LANDMARK
Constructed In 1918, 1t Stands as .
Monument of Good Work Done
by Its Builders.

One of the Oldest and most historic
places In Painesville is Riders tavern,
located one mile west Of the town hall
on Mentor avenue, says the Paines-
vile (Ohio) Telegram. The old land
mark was built In 1918 by Joseph
Rider, who Is thought to be the third
lnhabitant of Painesyille. The tav-
ern is located on the old Cleveland
Buffalo road, and was stopping place
for the stage coaches in the old days.
The building, as one can imagine,
was built to stand the wear and tear
of the weather. The old place is
made of hand-hewed beams whose per
fection and durability show the art
IF the man who made them, both In
ability as an axman and as a woods
man.
The tavern was noted for Its hos
pitality, dance hall, cooking and bar
Many a joyful event took place within
the walls. There were other taverns
in and about the locality and Mr..

built road which is now Walnut
street, and which brought the weary
travellers directly to the door of the
building where they were sure of be-
ing shown to good bed.
The building, as 1t stands now, al
though In good shape for the time
that 1t has been built, is beginning to
show the effect of age.
The tavern has been an heirloom. as
1t were, of the family since 1t was
built, four generations having lived
within the protection Of its sturdy
wills.
