The shouts OF men give him good cheer
When he has reached his goal:
The kissing steam, the factory roar
Are music TO his soul
The Erimy Titans Of the shop
Waits OF the wizards brain
With def and skillful hand he leads
Submissive in his train;
or with upllfted arm he rains
Such sturdy, ringing blows
As fashion forms of usefulness
And thrift and wealth bestows:
He laughs and sings from morn till night
Like the miller Of the Dee:
His treside is his sweet delight:
Rich in content is he.
He hears again the tuneful ring
That molds the hammered steel
He hears aEaiu the vIlirring din
OF swiftly-turniug wheel:
There are the hustling ranks Of men
our nations stalwa-t prop:
The fires are hit. and there above
Is the smoking chimney top.

Kissing Matches.

Progressive journalism should have its
limits but there seems to be no way to
keep it wi him bounds. A New York
daily ariaigned a kissing match between
a young man and a young woman, and
reported all the details, with portraits of
the contes ants.
Columns were devoted to descrip-
ton of the sensations of the two, and
the readers ara told how their pulses
registered and how this girl was reduced
to a state of nervous prostration after
the 156 kiss, while the young man, who
seems to be a hardened veteran in the
business, was eager for more.
This indecent repor, aggravated by its
illustra tions went into the hands of
hundreds of thousands of young persons
and was freely discussed in mixed cir
cles
Doubtless many young fools who read
this trash have already organized kiss
ing matches On heir own hook, believing
that IN amusement which received the
sanction of a great newspaper must be
the proper caper.

gloomy predictions un account of the fe-
yer visitation should cheer up or hold

Charle ston suffered in former years from
the fever, and so did Savannah, but see
how they have prospered, with no repe-

So will it be with Montgomery, Mobile,
New Orleans and other towns. Their
authorities will be more active than
ever and the application of the best san
itary measures will probably prevent
the fever from striking the gulf coast
again. Yellow Jack has been gradu-
ally crowded out. He has been driven

A Newspapers Obligations.

Lcndan had a queer newspaper law
suit few weeks ago. A lawyer sued a
daily paper for damages, on the ground
that the proprietor, editors and report
ers maliciously conspired to keep out
of the paper all accounts off cases in
which ne was engaged.
He took the position that the editor or
owners OF newspaper migh1 leave out
the reports of the proceedings in any
court, but he contended that, If they
were reported at all, she newspaper had
no right to single out one particular
lawyer and fail to mention him and his
cases.
1t is one of the most peculiar SUITS on
record, and the plaintiff lost it in the
lower court. He will now take it to a
higher court, but it is likely that the re-
suit will bn the same. Some people
seem to think that a newspaper is like
a public bridge-a free convenience for
everybody But 1t is not.

Up in the Air.

The first colony established by the So
cial democracy will be in Tennessee.
Next year the experiment will be extend
ed to Idaho and Washington.
Mr.. Richard j. Hinton, the chairman
of the committee appointed to select To-
cations for colonies. claims that he and
his associates are ready to buy suitable
tracts of land costing hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, but where they obtain
so much money is mystery.
Commenting on this project, the Bal
timore Sun says:
"It is also interesting to know that
they expect to create many industries,
the products of which will command
constant sale throughout the United
States. These are curious admissions of
dependence upon the old and hateful or
der of things to come from one of the
founders of a new and better order Of
things which will be quite independent
of such outworn things as competition
and the law of supply and demand.
1T Is further interesting to observe
that in this first experiment the great
underlying purpose to get political con-
troll of a state has been entirely ADAM
doned. Mr.. Hinton says, indeed that the
SOcldl uelnoCrdtS propose TO get COnlrOl
of the western states where their next
colonies are to be planted. But it Is to
be apprehended that the social demo-
Gratis are scattering themselves too much
to be successful in their main purpose,
which is to get complete political con-
troll of state, then of the Countrywide
only way in which they can demonstrate
the fitness of their new order to meet
the needs of mankind and make every
body happy, If not good"
Mr.. Hinton says that every colonist
will enjoy equal rights. and will receive
the just reward of his labor. There will
be no government. Every man will be
expected to do his duty and oilers win
be made to understand that they are
not wanted. 1t is believed by the re-
formers engaged In this venture that
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1897-11-03

they will soon demonstrate the fact
that the common ownership of property
is practicable, but this idea gets the fol-
lowing chilly dose Of facts and figures
from The Sun:
Including various items not reached
by our census, the total product of the
United States per day. IL divided equal
ly among the inhabitants, would give 81
cents to each per day, or $1.54 per day
to each Wage-earner. A wage-earnsr
that receives this much representing
three persons) receives more than
worker would receive were the United
States now on a soeialistic basis. The
production was in 1890 but 81 cents Per
inhabitant per day. but in 1890 it was
only 44.5 cents, and In 1850 only 80 cents.
The increased use of steam and ma
cfinery has increased the average pro-
duct and average wage. In Great Brit
ain the population between 1850 and 1889
increased 80 per cent, but the citizens
having incomes from $3.50 to 81 500 in
creased 300 psr cent, while the moder-
ately wealthy increased 200 per cent.
The annual income Of the la.boring class
lad grown from 1855 to $415 Like fig
ures apply to the United States. The
poor are richer then they formerly were,
getting larger incomes ins money, each
dollar of which buys more than 1t FOR
meily bought. Poverty is in itself de-
plorable. But what socialism proposes
is in effect to produce uniform poverty,
not the general possession of wealth.
If the colonists are moral, intelligent
and industrious people their experiment
may finally result beneficially. After
they have tried 1t for while they will
come to the conclusion that they have
selected the wrong time for their
scheme, and they will then go to work,
each man for himself, and they may
succeed in building up self-support-
ing community.
In the past there have been men of
their peculiar views who tested social
ism and communism and modified their
principles and methods to such an ex-
tent that they became very prosperous
and useful citizens. When they look
into the matter and make the discov-
cry that the total product of this COM
munity is only about so cents to each
dnhabitant per day, they will very read
lily decide that a general division would
not help them.
The encouraging feature about the So
cial democrats who propose to establish
these colonies is that they expect to
work. If they will carry out this idea
their theories will not hurt anybody. No
man can work and see the prospect of
a home of his own, and still remain a
socialist. Let these people pretend to
believe what they please, so long as
they stick to their work and pay their
way.

A Black Franklin.

df the negroes of the south lad more
leaders like Booker T. Washington they
would make more satisfactory progress
In every way. Last week Washington
attended the fair at Thomasville, Ca,
and delivered a speech which delighted
both races.
Among other things, he said the ne
gro problem in the south is passing from
a question of sentiment to one of buA-
ness-to one of commercial and indus
trial values" Here are a few of his
striking utteranceS:
1--WE cannot hold our own in the in
dustrial and mechanical world unless
we do two things; first, we nave got 10
put brains and skill into the common oc-
equations that are about our doors; and
in the second place, we have got to Dig
nifty and ennobbe common labor.
1.-The two races will be as ONE In all
their civil and commercial relations,
just in proportion as the negno. by rea-
son of skill and educated brains, pro-
duces something THAT the white man
wants or respects, and when you pur-
sue the question a little further, one
white man cares little for another White
man except as the one has something
honors the negro that lives in a two
story brick house whether he wants to
or mot In all history can you ind a
race that possessed property, industry,
Intelligence and character in a hlgh de-
gree that has long been denied all Its
rights? I would say, with all
the earnestness of my soul, that the
State of Georgia is not able to let the
800 900 negroes within her borders grow
up in ignorance. 1t will cost Georgia
more not to educate them than to edu-
cate them Does Ignorance produce
more taxable property than intelligence?
Are jails and courts and chaingangS
less costly than school houses? Is an
ignorant VOTER more acceptable to the
state than an intelligent voter?"
Througllout his address he Intoxicated
the ideas of morality, education skilled
industry and thrift. Washington firmly
believes when the negroes acquire Gull
ture and property, and live in their own
comfortable homes, they will be happy
and contented and will not be bothered
by any race problem. He does not say
anything about social equality. He is
too sensible to- dream of such ain i'm
possibility. His idea is that in the
course of time the blacks will have their
own circles of society based upon char
acter, education, congenial tastes and a
community of interest.
He has been called the black Franklin,
and it must be admitted that he-is the
wisest philosopher and teacher of his
race in America.

STRAWBOARD TRUST FORMED.

Anderson Ind, Nov. IA strawboard
trust, controlling every plant in the
United States, was effected the past
week. For three years efforts have been
made to bring every strawboard plant
into combination, and by those efforts
the American StrawIboard company, con-

and established offices in New York City,

Twelve companies, however, remained
out. They were an brought into lime

calamity which should have made

The Industrial Outlook.

The Chattanooga Tradesman is a very
conservative periodical and it's predic-
lions are made with care and dls1fb-
GRAFTON. 1t is very gratifying, therefore.
Ito find the following editorial in its cur
rent issue1
The lumber mills all over the country
are crowded with work; many are run
ming two shifts and are still behind their
orders. Building is reviviEg everywhere
and this will increase for a couple of
years, in many city that have suddenly
found themselves short of sufficient
housing, 10 meet the demand for stores
dwelling and small industries.
The textile trades are prospecting as
rule. As for prices, they are high
enough to give a fair profit to agricul-
turists and the factory men. Foreign
trade in iron and steel grows apace, and
would grow faster but for resentment
OF Europeans and Asiatics, bred by our
new tariff. That feeling will cease from
aHeeting trade very soon, and the inev-
liable rule of 'buy where you can buy
cheapest will carry the day.
There Is going to be an enormous ex-
pansion in this countrys exports of iron
ana steel in the next few years. The
business has already got strong start,
and may be depended on to go ahead
OF its own momentum
Business will proba bly, boom during
THE next two years, with occasional
sharp, but short reactions, then we will
possibly have another squeeze. The next
one might be postponed for many years,
IT congress would wisely and firmly
strengthen the weak points in the ma
tion's money medium; but it locks as if
we need more educating in the school of
adversely before we will elicit a congress
capable of doing that work as it ought to
be done.
L.
this fashion people have good reason to
hope for increased activity and prosper
ity in certain lines eff industry. Even in
a brief period of better times-two years,
as the Tradesman suggests-the rising
industries of the south, especially around
Birmingham, will make wonderful prog
ress, and will be able to hold their own
during the next depression.
The darkest cloud on the southern hori-
zon DIS in the shape elf low-priced cotton,
and it is the duty of the newspaper to
speak out frankly upon the subject.
Year after year the southern farmers
have produced big crops of their favorlte
staple, hoping that some change in the
SipudliOl Moupu duN dHce IT'S price, DuL
they have been disappointed. The lesson
of experience SEEMS to point to the neces-
sity of curtaiMng cotton production. II
the farmers will not do this, let them
at least adept the safe policy of produc-
ing their own food crops for man and
beast. Df they will do this. and pay as
they go. the low price of cotton may be
a disappointment. but it will not BE- ruin
Gus.
Tt is time to conduct agriculture on
business principles. Every farmer should
take a good newspaper and study the
markets, just as merchants and manu-
facturers do, and shape their course ac-
cordingly.
