More About Jasper.

The Marion Co. Democrat in it's
last issue published something full of
mistatements intended as erlogy Of
Jasper. We offer some additional
facts.
Jasper is not located under the
brow of the highest point in the
Cumberland range and is actually ii
feet lower than South Pittsburg.
"The coal in the Cumberland range
is inexhaustible." This we object to.
We have heard it SO often, but 1t is
only used to sell land. As soon as
the sale is made the coal is inl some
other mans land who has it to sell.
Jasper wants first of all a car load
of lime to liven up the rottinp build
ings and fences.
Jasper had population of 9O2 in
1890, about 800 white and 100 col
ored. The white folks are cared for
by seven church orgahi cations, while
the negroes have two. Seven chur-
ches of ia or l15 members will take
care OF the whites; two churches Of
90 each corral all the colored sinners.
Jasper was once the residence Of n
cheValier d'industrie named Alvin
D. Garrett, a leading politician, soci-
ETY. pet and Sunday school attendant.
he cut big swath. He was notary
public, but too'tired to give the nee
essary bond on his appointment az
such, he went ahead taking acknowl-
edgem4nts and collecting his fees al
ways. Now the denoument is made
that the deeds acknowledged before
him are worthless. So nice!
Jasper has the Blue Spring which
is used as a baptistery for the nine
different religious organizations when
they have any washing which is re-
CURED to be done.
Jasper is the County seat. 1t sat
down IN 1920 and has done but little
else since. Jasper is capable of do
ing more sitting to the square inch
and not getting tired than any place
on the known earth.
Jasper was the birth place of Peter
Turney and Sheriff Hyde, Of Ham
ilton Co., but we don't think the nat
ural advantages have suffered in con-
sequence.

Dear Aunt Dolly:
| have question to ask you.
What was Alfred the Greats, of En-
gland, invention for keeping time.
Your friend,
Halle Haynes.
Ny dear Hallie:-As there were
no clocks Or watches in use at that
time in England, Alfred contlived to
measure time burning candles. These
candles were painted with rings of
different breadths and colors-so
many colors as he had things to at
tend to, and thus he knew by the
burning of these candles when he
had been employed long enough a
bout one thing. But he found that
when the wind blew upon these can
dies they burnt quicker, and so, to
remedy The inconvenience, he lnven-
ted lanterns to put them in.

A Question oil Southern Wages.

the Manufacturers Record in
regard to the organization of labor
unions in Southern cotton mills,
the Sequachee, (Tenn.) } News NAL es
it a personal matter and says:
Would Mr.. Edmonds, or any
Of the privileged classes he
writes for, like to come here
and work for forty or fifty cents
a day? A man cannot live on
pure air and water. Neither
can his wife and children. ***
We never have nor ever shall
believe there is any advantage
to any section in cheap labor.
There Is certainly no merit i'm
it to us, and with what has
been told us lately about the
pauper labor of Europe. are we
not irving to make pauper
of American labor? When
mechanics can not organize for
their mutual benefit without
being charged with making
discomfort and being curse,
is it not time to call halt.
If the Manufacturers Record
represents any privileged class" it
has not been aware of that fact. 1t
has supposed that its work covered
everything that tended to the, up
building of the South and to the
creation of employment for labor.
1t believes in high priced labor as
the cheapest labor, measured by
production, and because the higher
the wages the greater the comforts
and blessings that can be enjoyed
by the labOrer and his family.
Well paid labor isIone of the best
blessings that any section can enjoy
But the Manufacturers Record has
no faith in in the work Of the
walking delegate" Dor in the pro
fessional labor agitator. such as Mr..
Howard, who sought to organize
the textile laborers of the South.
Mr.. Howard, paid official of the
New England labor unions, might
well desire TO foment discord
among Southern operatives hoping
thereby 10 retard the progress of
cotton manufactures, In
order that the New England mills
might have less competition. But
while there are thousands of people
in the Suuth eager for employment
that they may earn a living, and
while the building of new cotton
mills is the only possible chance
for them to secure work, the Manu-
facturers' Record will oppose every
calculated to retard the
growth of this industry without
regard to whether it has to critlcise
the acts of the mill owners or the
mill operatives.
Higher wages in the South cannot
be secured by trade organizations
30 long as there are two idle hands
anxious to take the place of every
hand now employed at present wa
ges. What is needed is an increase
Of employment, a diversifcation
and extension OF manufactures and
skill Of the laborer, and
with these will come a gradual al d
healthy advance in wages. "It is
a condition, and not a. - sry."

A remarkable display Of animal sagaclty

the animal Serves his master we'll. Last
week while out with load OF coal Harry
was taken sick and leaving his six-year-o.d
grandson on the wagon, he went into a
friends house to rest. Now, Hector evidently
got tired of waiting, for when Harry, VINO
had become very sick, came out with his
friend to be driven home, the team was gone
Late that afternoon the grandson came home
with an empty wagon and explained that
Hector had gone over the regular route and
that the people who had been waiting for
their coal, came out and took what they
wanted, and paid for it. Harry became very
i'll. and was confined to bed for over week,
but the supply of coal never stopped. as
Harry's oldest son would load the wagon pc

fight
When President Potter was in Indianapolis
three weeks ago he said that the only draw
backs to Indianapolis were the facts that
that city had no frst-class wheelmen's or
ganization, and that Indiana, particularly In
dianapolis, had such a small membership in
the L. A. w. But since President Potter 8
visit, over 100 members have been added to
the league and applications are being received
at the rate of 80 a week.
Indianapolis now has L. A. W. bicycle
club. The organization was completed this
week and has 200 members. Every applicant
must be a member Of the league and 1t is
thought that there will be 500 names on the
membership rolls by Jan. 1. An option on a
centrally located club house has been Sc
cured and by the middle Of December the
new club will be housed In the event Of
indianapolis securing the meet, the members
of the big committees will be drawn from the
l.. A. w. club and the club house will be
the league headquarters.
The selection of D. NJ. Perry as chairman
and Evans Woollen as secretary of the execu-
tive committee of the '9S club meet is a

GOOD ROADS CAMPAIGN.
Minnesota L. A. w. Proposes to Push
It vigorously.

If the plans of their newly elected officers
are followed out with any degree of faith
fulness the members OF Minnesota division,
l.. A. W., will take steps the coming season
which will put this state in the line with
some of the older and more eastern sister
states in the matter of generally improved
highways. These officers met yesterday
afternoon. They are Albert B. Ovitt and f.
L.. Hoxsie of st. Paul. chief consul and vice
consul, respectively, and Charles E. Bond.
of Minneapolis, secretary and treasurer. 1t
was an annual meeting. and the subject of
improved roadways through and over the
state the most discussed.
1t was conceded that If the farmers and
others in the rural parts of the state could be
made to realize the advantage Of good, sci
entifcally built thoroughfares. constructed
with the aid of intelligent surveyors, they.
as well as the army of bicyclists, would be
the gamers, and the road building not be
any more costly than at present. II was
decided soon to name a press committee or
five to study up the needs OF the people OF
the state the methods OF improved road
making, and to generally agitate the mat
ter in the columns of the state papers, both
city and country. In this way, 1t is thought,
wonders can be accomplished in the lettering
Of country roads which may be used alike by
the farmer and the enthusiastic "biker."
To cooperate with such committee leg
islative committee of either five or nine
members will also be named, whose duty 1t
shall be to post themselves on the needs or
the different sections of the state, and apply
some of the information to the lawmaklng
power. With the backing Of the L.. A. w.
it is believed that the solons can be per-
suaded that the interests of the agriculturist
and wheelman are not so unlike as some of
the legislators seemed to think last winter.
The plan was preached and will be exc
cuted of collecting data for map, to be
published at the beginning of the wheeling
season. which will show the paths and roads
between the principal cities and towns in
Minnesota with notes and useful information
for wheelmen and wheelwomen. These will
be placed in the hands Of the members of
the league.
Secretary Bond reported an increase of
something like sixty in the membership, as
against last year. President Oyitt an
nounced that A. B. Choate of Minneapolis,
had been selected as a representative of this
state at the annual assembly of the L. A.
w, which will be held at st. Louis. in Feb
ruary Mr. Choate has also been named
one of the government committee to look
into and report on the subject OF the best
material for the permanent Improvement Of
