The Gospel Train" which
started from this place to heaven
last winter, with such a noted
engineer as Bro. A. @. Blake has
been run very successfully SO
far. There has not been the
slightest accident or an inclina-
ton on the part of any passenger
to get off. Angus 9Th was his
farewell at this place for the
present conference year. The
services we're well attended. The
engineer from the 10th chapter
of Luke gave one of his best
scripture lessons.in which he was
not afraid to tell the people the
truth if it did strike hard, which
Is one of his most striking char
acterlstics, almost making him
a second Sam Jones. Being so
different from the ministry in
general it causes one TO think
of the time when Christ taught
in the ancient synagogue. After
the lesson a general class meet.

sermons, subject. Tanning the

showed all to be wild by nature

the close of these services the
congregation retired to the

beautiful ordinance of baptism,
which was made more beautiful
by the manner in which it was
performed. being so gentle that
it reminded one of a mother put

Since the senate Tariff Bill Passed Wooden
GonGa Lave DnciInad

Knoxville, Tenn, September 9a-CSpeciall
The claim set mp by the republicans that
the new tariff law Will destroy the wooden
goods industry Of this country is proven
false right here in Knoxville.
In this city Is located the largest wooden
goods factory in the south. and one OF the
largest in this soun;ry. The Knoxville
wooden mill is capitalized at S500C00 X
has twenty sets or cards. SEQ looms. and
employs 6uI operatives, with = payroll Of
$500 month. The mill turns out u 500
yards OF cloth a day, and the annual pro-
duct amounts 10 between $4,000 and
Sl,Ooo.0Co.
The mill has been in operation ten years
and has paid wei. II IS paying Wen today
Its product consists solely OF WOODEN goods
Jeans ana cassin-r-s. Its csssimeres are
all wool and equal the imported goods of
the same class. M9ny OF the patterns are
very neat stripes for gentlcmen's panta-
looms.
Mr.. J. A. McEeldin. brother Of Jim Nc
Eei3is, Of Atlanta, the secretary and treas
urer Of the company. showed me through
the mills and talked freely about the value
OF materials at present and before the new
tariff law went into effect.

Wool a. about - per cent cheaper than il

his letter to Chairman Wilson and il ap-

no tariff law passed on account of the dis
agreement between the two houses, both
woo! and wooden goods jumped up some-
what in price. Then, when the bill passed,
they declined again, but have never gone
back quite 90 low they were"

asked.
Certainly net. There is no good reason
that l can see why the new tariff Law should
cause any mill to reduce wages, unless IL
be-, JUST row, for political reasons. L have
heard Of such things being resorted 10 in
some northern mills. though l know per-
sCnslly OF no instance. AS / said before
as the raw material is reduced in proper
tiCn 10 the manufactured product. the neyY
wooden schedule Of the tariff law should
not interfere with the profits OF any Of the
mills in the country"
Are the farmers from whom you buy
your wool dissatisfied with having it put

''In what proportion has wool been re-
duced by the new law?'
..Well, before the tariff bill was prepared
by the ways and means committee in W1sn-
iuston tub-washed wool sold for from % TO
80 cents pound and unwashed WOOL LOT
about % cents. Now tub-washed wool
brings from 81 to 22la cents and unwashed
wool about IL cents.

tinued Mr.. McKeldn. 1--WE make gooos
that we have no difficulty in disposing OF.
We make a fair profit upon them and our

And so it gees. The people are buying
goods for their clothing cheaper, and the
mills are buying their material cheaper.
The profits of the mills are not interieFed
with, the wages of labor are not aHecleu'
but ali the people are being benefited IN
that they buy what they wear one-fourth
or more less than they did before the new
democratic tariff law went into effect.
There are al sorts of manufactures mere.
In none of them, not even in the coal
mines of the surrounding country, nave
the wages of labor been reduced. Indeed
