ceived 81 votes and Campbell 3. Moody

case, has a suit for SANDER on his hands.
his step mother charging him with spread
ing report that she had on several
occasions committed the crime of adultery.
Bail for his appearance was fixed by Judge
Bennett of the jefferson county circuit
court at 10000, but this has been reduced
to $4,000. Thus far young Cody finds no
oondsmen and he is still IN the
county Jail. Daniel Hall, the
receiver of the $4,000 worth

DR.. Cody, to William F. Voss. re-

attorneys on both sides OF the case are pre-

Iron Industry in the South.

Owing to the low selling price of iron, and
the necessity of producing at less cost than
hitherto, the attention of capitalists has been
forced for some time to look for locations
where that object can be most readily and
successfully obtained, and the red fosiiferous
ore of Alabama, over 90 feot in thickness and
practically of unlimited extent, together with
the coklng coal of the southern extension of
the great Appalachian coal field in its imme-
date vicinity, as well as the abundance Of
limestone and the other materials necessary
in the making Of iron seems to place, beyond
cavil, Alabama the centre of the Great
Future of that industry.
There are at present nine furnaces in blast
near Birmingham-all built within the last
dozen years, or so-whilst extensions, even
in these adverse times are always in progress;
and still greater and more rapid strides are
in contemplation in the near future. Among
the Eureka Company, at Oxmoor, at present
running two furnaces, have arranged to erect
two more, to develope, on a more extensive
scale, their coal-fields and to add greatly to
the extent of their business generally. They
own fifty thousand acres of ore and coal
lands, and have thus ample elbow room for
doing SO. We learn that they have secured
the services of Mr.. Simpson. of Maple Grove,
Arcadia, as their general superintendent,
with control of all their affairs in that State.
He proceeded there on Monday last, to take
hold. Mr.. Simpsons family, at least for the
present, will remain in the Valley.

The aold Reliablc,, Missouri Repubfcan

The t'Old Reliable" Missouri Republican
Newspaper will come to US another year;
and we would not be without il for any con-
sideration. The leading Democratic paper
of the great West, it deservedly occupies that
position. Devoted to the material prosperi-
ty and progress of the Mississippi Valley,
and of Missouri, especially, it has. been, here
tofore, mighty factor IN the unparalleled
development Of the territory along the
''Father of Waters" The ability of its staff
is such that its utterances are not only
couched In the chaste and elegant language
of scholarship, but they are such as should
proceed only from paper which so greatly
assists in forming the public sentiment in
such vast territory In its political course
1t is no respector of persons where the pub
lie good demands criticism; and at the same
time is, as heretofore, an adherent and ex-
FOUNDER of sound Democratic principles. A
commendable feature is that it does not deal
in the filthy and sensational news to which
modern metropolitan journalism is so much
given. 1t is paper which fathers and moth
ers may put in the hands of tender youth
with no fear of communicating the immature
mind. Long may old 1908 prosper! To our
country brethren of the press who have been
stricken from the Republican exchange list,
we extend our condolences.

RAILWAY POSTAL CLERKS.

1t will provoke no invidious dis
tinction to say that of the several
branches of the civil service no class
incur so much risk nor endure more
real labor and fatigue than railway
postal clerks. In almost every branch
of the service the employe has at least
limited control over his hours of la
Dor. The postal clerk has none.
When the accountant, weary with his
task, stops to rest, while billions play
hide and seek with millions, and COL
umns of figures go marching through
his aching brain, he is not startled
by the sound of the whistle for the
next station. The clerk in the ap-
pointment office briefs recommended
lions until he becomes satisfied that
there are fifty millions of people in
the United States that are entitled to
be president, but then his work be-
gins at nine and ends at four. A
very high order of business qualifica-
tons has to be exercised in the dis
charge of the duties of postal clerks.
The plans or "schemes," as they are
called, for distributing the mails on
postal cars, require the exercise of a
very high degree of care and precis-
ion; and hundreds and thousands
who daily receive, and promptly re-
ceive, almost lllegibly addressed let
tiers are too apt to forget that these
messages are accurately distributed
and forwarded by men who have
stood from eight to ten hours assort-
ing the mail.
The physical hardships of this
branch of the service are in excess OF
those pertaining to any other. The
wear and tear of the nervous forces
consequent on having to brace ones
self for several consecutive hours ii
moving train, constitute a most Sc
rious objection to the service. Ado
| to this the casualties incident to thu
service (and the postal clerk "take
his life in his hand' every trip, ant
we have an average mortality far il
excess of that pertaining to any class
save, perhaps, that of an army en-
| gagged in actual war. No class o
men deserve so much of their coun
trymen as these self-made overwork
ed and poorly paid postal clerks.
