Witter. Supply Paper 104. The Area onco a Sea ho surface formations of this re wcro for the most part laid down in I a bay of the great prehistorio seal that onao existed in the Mississippi Valley, when a huge arm of the Gw of Mexico extended well to the noif h of the mouth of tho Ohio and when that stream and tho Mississ ippi were scparato and distinct rivers. InjTcnnc this cmhayment area thf portion of the State between Mississippi and Tennessee rivers, wiMi the exception of a narrow strip alog the west bank of the Tennos. sfldjjt In Kentucky it includes all of tho State west of Tcnncssc River, will the exception of a narrow strip along the west bank. In Illinois it inojhdos a largo part of Massac, Pu-task, and Alexander counties. In lflOS thc(iiantity of crude as mined in the United State was 34.015 slort tons. valued at $110,002, a decrcaso in quantity ol o;.uui snort tons ana m value of tISl.lir from that of 1907 According to Krncs F. Hurchard, the author of a report on the of barvtcs and strontium in 1908. published by the U. S. Geologic! Survey in its "Mineral resources" series, this curtailment of production in 1M0S was foreseen by many persons interested in the tes Industry. There was a largo overpradudtion in 1907, tho record voars and after the panic the trade in bpytc products name practicilly to a standstill. The total quantity of barytcs reported as refined by mills hi Ken. tucky. Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee, ond Virginia was 2S.415 short tons, valued at $31 S, 090. an average price per ton at the mills of $11,19, as compared with 14,59 per ton in 1907. Reports from practically all the districts producing barytcs showed a decidedly discouraging condition in 190S, especially as to mining. Krlv Production of Coal. Probably the earliest mention of coal in the United States is con taioed in the journal of Father Hen cpin, who as early as 1(579 reported a "cole" mine on Illinois Itivcr above Fort Grevccoucr, near the site of the present city of Ottawa. It is also proable that, outside of anthracite mining in Pennsylvania and the operations of the Richmond Basin in Virginia, Illinois holds the record for priority of pro-i duciion, Coal was produoco. in Jac-son County in 1810 from a point on Mig Muddy River. A flatboat was loaded with toal at this place and shipped to New Orlenns, but the quantity is not stated. Again, it was rcpo.ted thnt iir 132 -over-! boatload were ient from th same 1 vicinity to the mirket. An- t other record in loun I Utini: ' Till: H'l'HIOtllM' AdKNCY.

T h e Organization Well Interesting Time Is Expected. The Institute went into organization yesterday at at 10 30 o'clock with a full representation from all portions of tho county, and complimentary to the Institute and characteristic of "Old Kentucky" the great number of tho most beautiful type of voting womanhood was the crowning feature. Altogether the body was one of tho most intcligent it has been our pleasure to sec anywhere. Unfortunately for us this body convened on the day we go to press, precluding the possibility of giving the Institute news in this issue. But when Friday rolls around wo hope to be able to give to the public a report from one of the best and rn ost profitable Institutes ever held in the county. Io our Friday issuo we will publish a column article on "Women as Teachers." We do this in protection to the women, young and middle aged, who, in many instances arc bearing men's burdens nt a salary far below what they deserve. God bless the women of our great old State, and may they soon be given these prominent positions at an unstinted salary. Accident. Charlie Burgctt, Jr., while painting J. H.

The Tobacco Situation The Good to Come Clearly Proven during the Last Few Years Tho llccord thinks there is a ureal opportunity for tho Tobacco Tho f?ood to come has boon clearly proven tlurmi tho past few years. Of course, some mistakes havo been made, and soino who have sever beco iti real friends havo taken advantage of this fact to broak up tho Association, hut tho tobacco growers of the Mack Patch needs no further proof of the ood it has done tho produoinn masaos of this territory. There ar differences to settle, but this should bo done alonj: tho lino of tho most ;ood toOio roJtcst number, aud no man should permit prejudice or narrowness to guide his action in the matter. The dostruc Hon of tho Association at this time mean worse conditions thin existed when he Association was organized, land we know the people want no mrt o tint So if troubles arc to be settled, let them bo settled fairly for tire pood of all. No bittornoss or spirit of animosity should be in dulped in when one farmer is dealing with another farmer. This fiirht is a common fipht. What is iood for one is od fir all, and eool sober judgment should be exercised in the tctl.cmenl of wrongs that may exist. Wo know the farmers of this county want to do right and what is best for them and their neighbors, Like other people, they may lose their heads at times aud nay things that should have been left unsaid, but in tho end ill things will be righted, and what is good for all is sure to prevail in the cud. We aro sure our farmer frjeods see this clearly as any one else, and that the Association will be placed on a true business basis, and that great and lasting good will re- lull from it in the years to come. Whatever may happen, boys, by all means stand by tho organization that Kfor you and yours. ILINII TIGER DIVE KAIDEU BY KENTUCKY UFFICEKS.
