Slate in Georgia and Elsewhere.

The census bureau has for the first time
undertaken to get some accurate statistics
about slate mining in the United States
and the result of its investigation in this
direction will therefore prove interesting.
Slate is produced in twelve states, of W hich
Georgia is the seventh In importance of
production. Slate mining, however, is still
in its infancy. The capital invested
amounts to $1,000, 1913, and the value
of the slate produced last year was
IS, 1868. The slate used for roofing pur-
poses alone aggregated S2.775, 37l in value
Slate of other sorts was valued at 1868, 592
The number of men aud boys employed in
the mines in 1889 was $685. Most Of the
slate miners are Welsh by birth or descent.
Many of the members of the firms which
employ them are Welsh also, aud numbers
of the workmen were once employed in the
famous slate quarries of Wales.
The wages paid to che miners are fair, la
borers, millmen, skilled mechanics and fore
men in the south and in the north earning
on an average about 80 day In Pennsyl-
wanna the average is slightly less. and in
California it is considerably higher.
Pennsylvania leads all other states
in the value aud amount of
slate produced. Vermont comes next
There is almost a straight line of slate from
Maine to Georgia along the Atlantic coast,
and most of it is as yet undevelopei. The
future production is sure to increase largely.
In this state comparatively little has been
| done in slate mining, the value of the
product last year being little over SIS. 900.
In fact, it is new industry In Georgia,
but, judging from the vast deposits of the
argillaceous stone in che southeastern coun-
ties, it may yet develop into splendid pro-
| portions.

Northern Outrages.

The New York Tribune pauses long
enough in its attacks upon the south TO call
attention, IN brief paragraph, TO the White
Cap outraGes in the great republican state
of Kansas, and TO say that III this sort OF
thing continues vigilance committees will
certainly be formed and summary justice
executed without very close inquiry into
the fundamental morality Of that method
Of procedure And so the Tribune has
really found out that outrages are com
mitted in Kansas If it had taken glance
at the files Of some Of It's contemporaries IL
would have discovered that few days ago
most cowardly outrage was committed
in Maine. 1t seems, therefore,
that all the outrages are not
committed in the democratic south.
TIE republican north has its full share Of
them. 1t doesn't suit the republican organs,
however, TO say much about those which are
committed in the north, but they devote
columns to those reported from the south,
many Of which rest upon remarkably
slight foundation of truth.
The Kansas outrage, which elected the
brief paragraph from the Tribune. was the
work of number of masked rutfians. They
brutally beat and otherwise maltreated a
preacher, who is nearly IS years of age,
and who lives in lonely piece of woods
near Reno. His only offenss was that he
proposed marriage to a widow who is As
years of age He wanted some one to make
his life less lonely.
The Maine case was somewhat different in
its character A hundred masked men
went to the home of d. C. Woodman, who
lives in Orrington, with the view Of beating
him aud giving him a coat of tar and
feathers, because it was alleged, he was
guilty of some domestic offence II a
hundred masked men in Georgia or Missis-
sippi had gone to the home of colored man
for any such purpose there would have been
columns printed about 1t in the northern
republican papers. These papers. however,
consider outrages in Maine worth only
a passing notice. 1t is pity that politics
makes them blind to the truth and prevents
them from dealing with the shortcomings
of each section of the country with equal
iustice

A 'citizsn" writes 20 the MORNING News
10 the effect that there is an immense waste
of water in this city. He made an investiga-
ton in his own house, and discovered a
wastage of 500 gallons a day. He enter.
tains the opinion that if the wastage was
stopped by system of inspection and fines
the artesian wells would afford an ample
supply of water. He is firmly convinced
that the small percentage of river water in
the artesian water is not wholesome for
some people. and he believes that he is an
invalid from the effects of the mixed water.
In view of the fact that the chemist who
recently made an analysis of the mixed
water pronounced it good for drinking pur-
poses, the probability is that Citizen" is mis-
taken in attributing his illness to the mixed
water. But would it not be well for the
city council to take steps to stop the vast
ing of water9

His Pride Had a Fall.

A naughty individual, with a sachel and

desk in the Grand Pacific hotel one day early

He had too much pride to give in without a

neared the zenith he looked once more care
fully around, and approaching Clerk Bamford,
remarked, in the same naughty tone: L say,
when will Parker be back." In bis suavest
manner Mr. Bamford replied: In about two

moment the guest locked as il undetermined

The New York Tribune says that it isn't
surprising that a few thousand Vermont
republicans should have remained away
from the polls this year, in view of the fact
that they knew that the state was safe for
the republican ticket. This is a very mild
way Of putting the situation. Perhaps the
Tribune will next say that it wasn't sur
prising that so many thousand republicans
remained at home. The republican organs
are capable of saying anything that the
interests of their party seem to demand.
