COMPLIMENTARY TO THE NEWS

We, wish to thank the Huntington
Advertiser for the following editorial
which appeared on Monday of this
week:
I "The Advertiser is pleased to learn
that the Big Sandy News, published
in Louisa, KY, once more has been
judged the best country newspaper in
the Blue Grass state in contest held
by the Kentucky Press Association.
Since the News is published so near
home and in a section where SO many
of our most substantial citizens orig
mated. the honor that has come to the
Lawrence county paper is a matter of
local pride.
Winning first prize in the Kentucky
Press Associations contest has be-
come a habit with the News. It has
carried off first honors each year since
the contest was inaugurated in 1912
Anybody, who is accustomed to read
ing the News and has the opportunity
to compare it with other weeklies, will
readily see why the judges selected 1t
from the scores of Kentucky newspa-
pers as the best. 1t would be judged
highly in a nationwide contest. From
both a journalistic and mechanical
standpoint 1t will bear comparison
with any. 1t is repository of much
valuable information, both of national
and local significance. We congratu-
late Messrs. NJ. F. Conley and E. K.
Spencer, its publishers, upon the hon
or that has come to them and hope
that their wholesome and well-edited
publication will continue to hold the
tremendous prestige 1t enjoys today
throughout the Big Sandy Valley"

The prize winning essay follows:
ITO make the highways more safe

and anything out OF the road that will
cause any Kind OF carriage to wreck.
You must drive slowly along the road
on the right hand side II It is possible
to do so.
DO not stand in the road or on the
railroad when you see the train or any
kind of carriage coming. You must
stop and let the train go by for the
train will not stop for you and you can
walt for the train and It win not hurt
anything. You must always stop, look
and listen, before you try to cross the
track. II there is any loose plank on
the railroad or on any kind of a bridge
you should nail II down for It will
cause trouble IL you do not.
"a mother should not let her chill
dren play on the road or on the rail-
road track for they might get hurt.
II they play in the road any. a wild

to jump on a wagon when II was GO
ing down hill and her foot slipped just
as she started to jump on and she
went under the wheel and her brains
were scattered out on the street. Any
body on horse, walking or In light
carriages must take the rough side OF
the road and let the machines have the
good part. Persons In machines or car
riages on narrow roads or In rough
places seeing machines or other car
riages coming should stop in wide
place in the road until others have
passed. On going around a corner IL
in machine slow down ard blow the
horn. II in other carriages, slow down.
You should go slow up and down hill.
You must go slow when going onto

body and would run into them and
that will cause trouble. II you are out
after night, you must drive slowly be-
cause you cannot see good after night.

Helps Aunt Mary"
Recover Copper "Kittle'

Major Tom B. Davis, in charge OF
the enforcement of Governor Morgan's
martial law proclamation in Mingc
county, and Captain j. r. Brockus
commander OF company B, West yir.
ginia state police, stationed at Will
hanson, have not lost the human
touch in their efforts to make the law
less toe the mark in the former in
dustrial torn area in the lower part OF
the state, says the Huntington Adver-
tiser.
The manner in which they assisted
Aunt Mary Taylor, an octegenarian, a
native and lifelong resident OF the
Pigeon creek country in NIingo, to re-
cover a prize copper "kittle" in which
she has billed" her apple butter an
nually since the time when the mem
ory of few men ruuneth to the con-
trary, and Aunt Mary's gratitude to-
ward them is told in the following
story in the Williamson Daily News:
Moses Davis Tiller. Pigeon creek,
pioneer accompanied Mrs. Mary Tay-
lor, generally and very popularity
known as Aunt Mary Taylor, to Will
hanson, when Aunt Mary came to in
quire of Major Thomas B. Davis, chief
officer in the enforcement OF martial
law regarding a perfectly good apple
butter kettle which she had reason to
believe was in his possession.
Mrs. Taylor missed her big copper
kettle some time ago, and Immediate
ly came to the conclusion that there
was something rotten in Denmark.
Copper receptacles were known to be
in rather general use in the Pigeon
creek section of the county at that
time, where officers of the law often
found them employed in making moon
shine liquor.
Aunt Mary's suspicious were well
founded, for it developed that Min
go moonshiner had surreptitiously lift
ed and toted" away her big "'kittle''
and put it to service in turning out
mountain dew. The state police had
captured the outfit soon thereafter,
and the receptacle was found in the
hands of the officers at the courthouse.
The kettle will be restored to its own
er, who prizes 1t highly, not merely
because of its utility, but because It
has been in the family for many wears.

OPPORTUNITY.

IT'S part of native human
To be always frettin; fumin;
An to want to wander hither, yon
and thence;
And most every youthful feller
Like COW is prone to beller
For the grass that grows on tother
side the fence"
1t Is decidedly true that man often
thinks of opportunity in some far-off
land, or in some distant city.
We find man in Columbus casting
his eyes longingly toward New York,
or to the East coast and exclaiming
IF / were only there / know l would
find opportunity"
The man in the small town knows
that his opportunity lies in the big
city.
The boy on the farm feels certain
that his fortune awaits him in Chica-
go, Detroit, or New York. The man in
the city looks hopefully toward the
wonderful opportunities Of farm life
And SO still closer home we find
right in our own shops, offices, and
stores scores Of men and women who
have their eyes on the false light OF
some imaginary opportunity In the
distance.
That is because they do not know
that'all they have to do Is to put their
thought and effort to the task on hand
and they need find opportunity stand
ing by their side.-Exchange

1880. GOO WORKERS IDLE.

Washington, July 7.-More than L.
100000 workers are idle in the United
States because OF strikes, officials OF
the department OF labor estimated.
Four strikes of major Importance
was in progress. They are: Coal min
ers, 400 900, bituminous and 100000
anthracite.
Railroad shopmen, 100000.
Textile workers, New England, SO,-
900.
Garment workers, New York City
from 10000 to 10000.
Officials said 1t was impossible to
calculate the amount Of money lost to
workers and to industry because OF
the strike.
The Big Sandy news., 1922-07-14

1t is the public that suffers most
from railroad strikes. The public pays
the bills, stands the knocks, and takes
care of the idle men in the crises.
Freight and passenger rates are kept
high enough to pay the wages, losses,
repairs damages, abuses, and returns
on the investment. The public pays
all this. Yet the public interests are
the last to be considered. There is
entirely too much of "the public be
damned" spirit existing amongst GER
tain classes today in the United States
