 A. The plant is doubtless the ever green shrub known as ardisia. It is dwarf in character with dark shiny leaves and produces a quantity of bright rcd berries that remain a whole year This Is really a sub tropical plant and would likely need some protection in Birmingham, tho same AS cape Jasmine. It makes q fine house plant and if located or the south side of a residence. pro tected from north and northwest winds, it would be safe. It is worth growing

Prosecuting Attorney Gets
in Touch With Governor
and Prevents Action.

Anticipating trouble when oper-
atoms were resumed at the Betty
Mine, three miles south Of the city.
on an open shop basis, the Stone
and Scott Coal Co. today petihoned
Governor E. F. Morgan for State
Police protection and notified Pros
ecuting Attorney Frank r. Amos OF
this city that they were opening
their mine and would notify him
Immediately if aid was needed.
In their wire to Governor Nor
gan, the owners of the coal com
pany stated that a miner employed
at nearby plant was badly beaten
by a band of miners who marched
! Monday and that they feared ZOE
the safety of their employees.
Governor Morgan referred their
request to the State Department OF
Public Safety, but so far no word
has been heard from Colonel jack
son v. Arnold. who is in charge OF
the department. Mr.. Scott said to-
day, however, that the governor
had assured them protection

the action taken by the owners OF

time as it would only tend to ere
ate trouble as the county officers
were keeping better order in the
country than in any other section
of the strike, zone. So far there

not expecting any trouble.

know the real situation in Marion

county officers were able to look
after the situation without any out
side help at the present time. If
the State Police are needed to main
tain order, the county officers will
notify the proper uthorities imme-
diately, it was said.
The strike situation IN Marion
County has been closely watched
by the county officers and the

Bradley in part said: west Vir,
girians resent the slurs that have
been cast on the state of West Vir-
ginia because West Virginia is pro-
ducing one third of the coal thai
is keeping the country going to-
day. There is propaganda at work
which is directly pointed at your
industry. There is partnership
between the employer and the en-
ploye. The operators take the, risk
to obtain profit.lThe employe gets
the benefit of his skill and the
benefit of the market price OF
wages The spropaganda at work IS
iinSidious. If thiS#ls true in west
Virginia today. it may be true III
some other state tomorrow.
THAT state which allows mob
ora group to prevent the indlv1du
al making a livelihood is weak and
as Sreprehensible as that state
which, allows a man to be carried
to a. telegraph pole and lynched.
West5cFlrginia is not that kind of
a state 1t deserves credit for be-
ing aSsstate where law and order
must be respected. 1t opposes
those who instigate an armed in
surrection. Ii there is an explana-
ton to be made it should be made
on the part of the so-called Chris
tian bodies and agencies who have
listened to lies about a self gov
erned hard-worklng, progressive
state.
"The National Coal Association
has nothing to do with the settle
ment of a strike or the making o.
a district contracts or establishing
relations between employers and
employees. but the time is at hand
when coal operators face predi-
tory aggression and monopoly OF
coal mine labor. In West Virginia
coal is being produced for the wo-
men and children while many
mines are closed or shut down.
The time is at hand when pro
test must be made against immun-
ity for: the man who wields brick
bat and the man who throws a.
bomb whether he is affiliated with
the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica or any other labor organization
