costly wreck that ever occurred in this
state, and happened on the same spot
where two previous wrecks occurred,
both resulting in the loss of life.

ASLEEP.

When FIRST we heard in early spring
The tender, plaintive bluebird sing,
She fell asleep while listening.
A slumber dreamless, calm and deep,
Ger all her senses seemed 10 creep
Day after day she holds her sleep.
We laid her, for her restful hours,
Within the fairest Of her bowers
Where brightest grew her chosen flowers
The green grass DER her threw his cloak,
Above her bed the crOcus woke,
A hundred buds in blossom broke.
The little birds she loved so well
Sing softer for peaceful spell
That round her pillow seems 10 dwell
Soft summer breezes murmur nigh,
THE crickets chirp there drowsily,
All Nature sings her lullaby.
Her slumber 10 too sweet to break,
she cannot know lifes wrong and ache,
And veto would that she could wakei

AFFECTS HARBOR WORK.

Under Its Operation the Money Ap-
propriatsd by Congress May Not Be
Sufficient to Finish the Work of I'm
proving the Savannah River and
Hsroor-Whst Capt Carter Says
About It.
Last Monday the S-hour bill, which was
introduced in congress by Representative
J. O'Neill OF Missouri, the recognized
champion of labor inSthe House of Repre-
sentativeS. became law by the Presidents
signature. This bill is the outcome of labor
agitation and was. in fact. prepared by la
Dor unions 1t prohibits all employees Of the
government from working more than eight
hours daily, and restricts contractors on
any and all government works TO eight
hours per day for all grades of employees.
There is no distinction made between en-
gineers and mechanics, masters and deck
hands, aud forsmen or superintendent and
unskiled laborers.
In view of the fact that work on the river
and harbor may SOON begin, and that the
passage Of this labor bill might retard its
progress and increase its cost, repor Ter
saw Capt. o. NJ. Carter at his office yester-
day and asked him what effect the passage
of this bill would have upon the work of
improving the harbor.
Capt. Carter said: ''If the reports In { he
NEWS are correct, and such a bill as you
describe has been passed, it win have a
very serious effect upon the work not only
at this point, but all along the coast For
merly contractors could work their en-
ployes any number of hours. aud could thus
do work more cheaply than could the
United States. Operations in this harbor and
elsewhere along the coast, even under these
advantages, have been carried on with a
very small margin of profit to the con-
! tractors; and should they, in addition to
the risks they take, be required to conform
to the hours now governing employees of
the United States aud work their men not
moro Than eight hours per day, the Savan>
nah harbor work would cost q great deal
more than it has cost in the past, and the
result of this would be that the work of i'm
provemsnt might cost considerably more
| than my estimate
II hope, however, that the matter has
! been incorrectly reported. Tor it is as i'm
| portaDt to the laboring man as it is to the
| capitalist that the Improvement Of this
harbor should not only be carried forward
| TO completion at the earliest practicable
date, but that 1t should be done at the mini
muta possible cost. do not wish to be I'M
