man plead partial deafness; Judge
Long told him to sit near the
witness stand and hold on. !
Another that he ran a store and
was short of help; the Judge
told him to check up on his
clerks at night and if the amount
of business had fallen off, to re-
port to him and he would do a
bit of buying himself. The
Judge inquired particularly of
Mr.. Bruton about his grist mill,
and remarked that the electric
ally driven mills of the present
day could never touch the meal
ground by the old water method.
He went on to say that it used to
be water power, then steam and
now electrical; and it will not be
long until it is wireless.
1t seemed Monday morning
that the traffic around the court
house was especially noisy; and
about noon when a heavy truck
came honking, and grinding up
the steep Rham depot hill, he
told the sheriff to bring the driver
before him. The driver proved
to be a polite young colored
man, hauling brick and material
in a heavy truck from the Rham
depot to the construction work
at the new courthouse. The
Judge admonished him to keep
out of sight of the courthouse
while Court is in session, and to
make his trips by some other
streets.
Judge Long is stopping while
here at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
R. R. Simmons He is regarded
highly among our Richmond
county people. 1t will be re.
membered that he ran for Assoc,
late Justice of the Supreme Court
in the Democratic primary June
5, 1920; there were five candi-
dates, from which number two
Justices had to selected. The
vote stood Adams 1859, Hoke
S99, Stacy SIP, Long 2l7 and
Gulley SO. Hoke won out in the
first primary, leaving Stacy and
Long as the next two highest
and so these two entered a sec
ond primary July 3rd; in this
second primary the vote in Rich,
mond county was Long 933
Stacy 807, Long carrying the
county by 1876 majority, How
ever, Stacy carried the State by
around 10000 and became the
nominee.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 30.--
CA. P.)--Great coal strikes, such as
the country is now facing, have been
few although for seventy-five years
the coal industry has been marked by
almost numberless statewide and To-
Called strikes, often involving sew
eral thousands of workers. All of the
big strikes have continued more than
month, the longest having been that
of 1902 in the anthracite industry
which continued 23 weeks.
The big strikes--five in number
are summarized as follows:
1S94-First general strike in the
soft coal industry, called by the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America, the pur-
pose being to restore wage scales that
had been decreased during the panic
of SO; 100000 to 100000 men engag-
| ed and militia called out in four
states: first attempt at a compromise
! failed but second conference OF min
ers and operators ended with adoption

wages and improved working condi-

Elements have favored them. The ope-

reductions, denial of increased wages,
changed working conditions, and the
crushing Of two unions--the first ma

of strikes at the close Of the civil war

Many Pay Taxes.

Many Pay Taxes.
The office of the tax collection de-
partment of the county sheriff is the
busiest place in the courthouse right
now. The rush of first payments of
taxes is on in earnest. Ordinarily,
the first half of taxes becomes de-
linquent April 8, but this year 1t has
been impossible to get some notices
sent out, Mrs. Mona McFaul, deputy
sheriff, says. For those taxpayers
who have received their notices on
time, the time will be April 5, as
usual, she declares, but in the case
of those individuals and firms to
whom the office has found it impos-
sible to send notices on time, the
date will be extended. The delay in
the sheriffs office is caused by the
delay in the sending up of the rolls
from the assessors office, and the
delay there was caused by confus-
ion in orders from the state tax com
mission. Mrs. McFaul expects to have
tax collections all made by the mid
die of April.

Middle States Oil
Purchases Railroad
ll5-Niilc Line Said To BE the
Sole Outlet of Haynesville
and Homer Fields

Interests connected with the Middle
States Oil Corporation. of which C. n
Haskell is chairman, have purchased d
the Louisiana & Northwest Railroad
said to be the sole outlet Of the
Haynesvillc and Homer oil fields. Re-
ports of the sale were confirmed here
yesterday but it was stated that de-
tails concerning the transaction would
not be made public until later.
The Louisiana & Northwest is line
115 miles in length running from Mag
nolia, Ark. to Natchitoches, La. 1t has
been in receivership since 1913. Tha
road was advertised for sale on June
10, 1919, with an upset price Of $500
600, but there were no bidders.
On July 1, 1919, the receiver peti-
toned the United States Court at
Shreveport to abandon that part Of the
line from Gibsland to Natchitoches.
Owing, however, to increased traffic on
that portion of the line north of Gibs-
land following the Homer oil develop
ment, the earnings reached point at
which the road became self supporting.
In the face Of this situation the petit
tion for abandonment of the section
south of Gibsland was withdrawn.
The road is capitalized at $3,00O,000,
Of which $2,300,000 is outstanding. The
outstanding funded debt amounts to
S2,254,376. The general Office is at
Homer La
