ATTORNEY WALKER
Nsits His Client in Jcil--A Girl tvbo Hants
Some of wooffoIk's Hair.

Macon Telegraph
Lawyer Walker, Of Atlanta, was
in Macon Monday, aud called at
the jail to see his client, Tom
Voolfolk.
After a few minutes talk with
him, Jailer Birdsong invited the
attorney up stairs to Toms cell and
there showed him where the efforts
had been made to gain freedom.
Mrs Edwards, of East Macon,
Toms sister, also called during the
day and held quite lengthy con-
versation with the brother.
The application for new trial
Las not been fled yet, though the
evidence is ready. It was supposed
by many that the object of Wa
ker's visit to Macon was in connec-
ton with the fling OF the motion.
WANTS A lock OF HIS HAIR.
Yesterday " oolfolk received a
letter from Atlanta which he gave
to a Telegraph reporter after tear
ing off the signature. Here is a
copy of it;

a Society WoIlaI's advice to Young Men,
with Opinions Their Manners.
Mrs Sherwood, whose opinions as we'll

be too fine for his work-heavy shoes for walk
ing, plain Clothes for morning, and change
for dinner and evening. Fresh stockings
and neat looking feet are Indispensable, and
clean linen is tae very alphabet of good
dressing. A gentlemanS dress should always
be so quiet as not to excite attention
According TO Mrs. Sherwood, there are no
young men In the world with better manners
than the best type OF American men. Manly,
simple, unaffected, respectable and remarka-
bly, graceful, so bright that. If they turn
themselves on, you can see TO read by them"
the young American man is conceded to be

there is no remedy. The miners know
it and do not complain.
Again-the air is foul when small

the miners do complain, but it does no
good there is no penalty attached to
the violation Of the present mining
laws. Our eX and present Mine In

to put a Garrett county farmer on for

as well appoint IA miner to take charge
of our oyster fleet.
The Inspector asks the miners to re.
port to him if the air is impure. This
would be equivalent to reporting to

To the the MINING JOURNAL.
Your correspondent in last week IS
issue, writing on the complaints of bad
ventilation of our mines, certainly in
dulges in some sweeping advice to Nh.
Clark, superintendent of the American
coal company, when, "if the Recietc
declines to give the names of its in
formers, he advises him to "discharge
every man in his employ"
Now, in our estimation, this is harsh,
needless and senseless. This com
plant of bad air is of long standing,
and | cannot remember ever seeing
where Mr.. Clark, or any other agent.
mining boss, driver, or miner, ever
denied its existence. have often
heard the question asked of miner,
"why are you not at work ?" and nine
times out of ten the answer has been,
Il was out, but the air was so bad |
had to come home,n or lit was SO bad
| could not get my lamp to Burn SO |
could see to work. Sometimes this
occurs to such an extent that il whole
heading is laid idle. Now, if this is Il
fact, and it has never been denied,
why give the foolish advice to Mr..
Clark to discharge all his men to find
out what he already knows
Another method, easier and not so
harsh, would be to ask ax-Mlne In
spector Hamill to deny over his own
signature that foul air existed. The
only doubt in the latter proposition
would be the question: the eX-
Nine Inspector, after receiving three
thousand dollars from the State, know
the difference between pure and foul
air and, if not, why not?
AS for the present incumbent, 40
one looks upon him as other than IL
political sham-to draw his salary
without any expectation that he is. or
expects to be able to perform the duties
of his Office.
Your correspondent says ''any man
who is too cowardly to report To his
employer the bad condition of the
mine, but will sneak around and re.
port to ii paper, with no other purpose
than that of injury, is not honest, and.
therefore, not fit to be employed," etc.
Now, ! don't believe our miners would
lie about the mlne thay work in, or
any other,and if they all lied, in what
way could they injure it If it is cow
ardly for miner to work in bad air.

he may make IA living for himself and

told "it he doesn't like to work in it to

jority of them will compare favorably
with your last weeks correspondent.

The Balance Churn.-The JouRNl

The Balance Churn.-The JOURNAL
witnessed Wednesday at the residence
of G.. b. Wack, agent of the C. and p.
r., test of the Balance Churn,' the
sale of which is prosecuted by A. A.
Rogers, formerly of this place. The
day was cool, condition of tempera-
ture unfavorable to the most satisfac-
tory operation and result, nevertheless
Nh. Rogers succeeded most admirably
and successfully. The operation oc-
upied about 26 minutes. The chemi-
cal explanation of the process consists
in the oScillating motion of the churn,
which most etfectually breaks the
globules of the cream, thus releasing
certain gaseous substances which
otherwise go to retard the Coming" of
butter, deteriorate the quality and
diminish the quantity. Following this
operation the butter is gathered" +"
cleansed and salted by the same oper-
alton in the churn, and need not be
touched by the hand. The operation
is effected by little or no labor; the
cream yields every particle of butter it
contains, and the product is cleaner
and purer than obtained by any other
method. Mr.. Rogers has shown prac-
tical tests of the value of his churn at
number of other residences, in every
instance giving perfect satisfaction.

Poetry-One of the most striking
campaign cries this year is ''The Log
Cabin" a "reminiscences of 1910, when
the grandfather of Gen. Benjamin
Harrison, republican nominee for
President, ran for that Office and was
elected. In that elder day 1.-The Log
Cabin" was an institution of no mean
Importance, and it became the theme
of the poet as we'll as historian. The
poem with the well known title, else
where printed, is copied by the
keokuk Coastitution- Democrat from "the
versfied history of the territorial DAYS
of Iowa." by Hon. ID. +. Miller. sr., a
gentleman whom we have before had
the pleasure to quote, and who, it will
be remembered. is native of this coal
region--now one of the most venerable
and honored citizens of Iowa. "The
Log Cabin" is portrayed "as he saw
and knew it in those early days"
Romance and Reality" from Puck
of the 10Th INST, by son of Thomas
F. McCardell, former editor of the
Cumberland Times, evidences talent of
II high order. The author is quite
young, and the fact that he has Sc
cured admission to Puck assures him d
national reading. The poem referred
to is printed on the fourth page of this

owner who boasted "that the mines of
this State are the best ventilated in
the world"
2, 1t has never seen that expression
in any official document touching the
mines of this region.
The remark is one devised in So
called labor circles, and by the same
authorities put in the mouths of the
mine owners.
SO that when the Crlfic refutcs the
proposition it knocks down a man Of
straw built in its own household.
At the same time if there be a
mine owner or mine owners who own
and express the conviction "that the
mines of this State are the best ven
tilatcd in the world," he or they have
the satisfaction Of knowing that in
no single instance has refutation OF
the statement ever been accompanied
by proof to the contrary; that none
Of the gentry who deny the PROPOSE
tion have ever named Il region where
ventilation all the way through is
better, ard where greater provision
for uneXceptionable ventilation has
been more generally and expensively
made.
But it is one thing to dcHy; it is
another to suSfain dcHial By Pr00f.
1t is one thing for organs to weep
maudlin tears over the woes of So
called labor. and another to coin
their grief into actual hardship.
The point with the JOURNAL.
then, is how long will some work
ingmen be misIed by papers whose
sole Office is to cultivate their sense
of grievance ?
