Every now and then Kentucky
comes to the front with killing at
a religious gathering, the latest of
these tragedies being staged in a re-
mote mountain section. Often the
mountaineer carries his troubles to
church and generally is the first to
bite the dust.
Settling scores with the preacher
when he is conducting services usu-
ally has been fatal to the aggressors,
and in this respect such tragedies
appear to run true to form. The
mountain preacher seems well able
to take care of himself, particularly
when he is accosted in the line Of
his calling as the spiritual leader of
his flock. In nearly every instance
in the long list of such tragedies he
has got his man and sometimes sew
eral of them who essayed to break
up the meeting and take the preach
er to task for some real or fancied
grievance.
Not long ago in a mountain coun-
ty a preacher who could shoot as
well as PROFOUND the gospel drop
ped three assailants who had taken
offense at something he said and &C
costed him while he was in the pull
pit. Instances are few where the
mountain preacher under such cir
cumstances has quailed or shown the
white feather, but, on the contrary,
he nearly always has had the nerve
to stand his ground fearlessly and
maintain his rights.
Seeking vengeance at church long
has been a mountain failing.

THE IDEAL NEIGHBOR
(Life)


He is just old enough to suit the
husbands and young enough to suit
the wives. He has money enough
to do everything the neighbors want
to do, but not enough to make any
of them envious.
He is busy enough to be an exam
pie to the lazy husbands and leis-
urely enough to make good COM
panfon for them. He can mend any
kind of automobile or garden tool
can play chess, checkers, bridge,
pinochle, poker, golf, swim and ride
he likes to fish and knows just
where to go for bait, canned or bot
tied. He can change a tire and start
an unstartable car:
He admires everybody's children
and everybody's house, lawn, pict-
ures, books, cars, doks and putters.
He is the ideal nighbor. There is
only one disagreeable thing about
him. Nobody likes him.

BANNING PISTOLS

The American Bar Association at
its meeting in San Francisco recon-
mends that the manufacture of pis-
tolls and pistol ammunition, except
for official use, be prohibited.
The Committee on Law Enforce
ment declares that 80 per cent of
the homicides in the United States
are committed with pistols, and the
number reported is around eight
thousand year.
The average law-abiding, peaca-
BILE citizen has no use whatever for
a "gun" except as protection
against housebreakers who may be
equipped with pistols and prepared
to shoot on slightest provocation.
If the manufacture of weapon,
which is, in reality, military and
police arm, could be effectively pre-
vented by law it would be almost
desirable.
The pistol, easily concealed, in
stantly available, and deadly at
short range is the handy tool Of the
burglar and the highwayman, and
without it the bandit would be al
most as helpless as a street car
without a trolly.
If all the pistols now in circula-
ton could be gathered up, and the
factories placed under strict gov
eminent supervision, some of the
eight thousand victims of homicidal
fury who are sacrificed every year
would no doubt escape violent
death.

MEXICAN ONYX FOUND IN HART
-F'aare1 COUNTY z~

Several deposits of true Mexican
onyx have been discovered near
Horse Cave in Hart county and Cave
City in Barren county by DIR. Charles
H. Richardson, head of the-depart-
ment of mineralogy, Syracuse Uni
versity, Syracuse, N. Y.
The Mexican onyx in those coun-
ties, DR.. Richardson said, is suscept-
ible to high polish, is beautifully
banded, delicate in colors, of a fine
grain and highly translucent. Mex
lean onyx is one of the most highly
priced interior decorative marbles.
Plans are under way in those
counties now, the geologist said, for
quarrying the onyx and putting it
on the market.
DR.. Richardson also proved for the
first time that many of the stalac-
titles and stalamites in Mammoth
Cave and other caves in that vicini-.
ty are Mexican onyx, as are numer-
Gus pillars and columns in the cav
ems.
Another discovery made by the
scientist on his recent trip to that
section of the State is that there is
evidence in the Mammoth Onyx Cave
in Hart, county, which was just
opened to the public June 80, 1922,
that it was discovered before Nam
moth Cave. Mammoth Onyx Cave,
however, has been little known to
the public until recently.
The evidence is the name of Mar
tina A. Woodson and the date 1900,
which are carved on a wall of the
cave 1t has been established that
such person lived near there about
that time. The reported discovery
of Mammoth Cave was in 1902.
The entire cave region in which |
Mammoth Cave is located, DR.. Rich
ardson stated, is honeycombed with :
caves and he said it is reasonable to
suppose that all caves about the |
level of the Green River contain
deposits of Mexican onyx.
