one Of the mechanical and Industrial
wonders of the age is Edison's New Ter
sey plant for extracting iron from low
grade ores. He has been able to produce
apparatus for mining at profit iron ores
of a grade so low that they could not be
worked by the old processes. In the new
process machinery and electricity take
the places of large numbers of laborers
The work is nearly all automatically per
formed. No hand touches the ore from
first to last, and nearly all of the oper-
atives employed are machinists ana re-
pairers.
Mr.. Edison himself is authority for the
statement that he has turned his attep-
ton to new process for mining low
grade gold ores, and that within the
course of two years, he expects to have
a plant in operation. He will come south
for his gold ores. setting up his first plant
In Georgia, South Carolina or Alabama.
There is gold belt in the south fully
seventy-five miles wide, lying chiefly in
Georgia, Alabama and the Carolinas, and

II Made Him Weep.

Delaney Wallingford hesitated with his
hand upon the knob of the door to the pri-
vate Office He was about to ask Henry
Faversham for the hand of his beautiful
daughter says the Cleveland Leader. For
a moment the young man was inclined to
procrastinate, but he drew himself Co
gether at last, and walked in.
The rich man received him kindly, and
asked him to sit down. Before Walling
ford had begun upon the subject that was
nearest his heart, however, the voice
of Mrs. Faversham was heard in the
outer office, and her husband requested
his visitor to step into an adjoining room
until the lady had got through with him.
Look here" said the mother of the
only girl that Delaney Wallingford had
ever loved, as she rushed into her hus-
bands presence, Il want You to give an
account of yourself! You didn't get home
until long after the hour I set for you
last night, and you have a guilty look.
Who's that young woman out there in
the front office-that brazen thing with
clothes that are too rich for any working
girl to wear? Where do you intend 10
take your lunch to-day? I'm going to go
along with you! Here, I need $3.50 for
Christmas presents. Indorse this check.
Let me see those letters in that pigeon
hole! You're up to something, Henry
Faversham, and I'm going to find out
what it is. Discharge that girl out there
to-day, and get a homely one! I'll be
down here again tomorrow to see wheth-
er you have obeyed my orders or not
When you get home to-night-and see
that you're on time-Pn have some more
to say to you. Remember, 1 expect you
TO come to Murkle's for your lunch.
haven't time to talk TO you this morning
Give me those letters you have in your
pocketr
One of her lady friends was waiting for
her outside, in the carriage, so she had
to leave him long before she had finished
her remarks.
When Mr.. Faversham was alone again
Delaney Wallingford returned and sat
down in front of the benevolent looking
old gentleman, who asked him to proceed
with the business in hand.
Your daughter Gladys" the young
man said-"we love each other. I have
come to ask you for her.
There was deep pity in the look that
Henry Faversham bestowed upon his Wis
itor, and after long silence he said:
I've always had a sort of liking for
you. I've thought you were a pretty SEN
sible sort of chap You heard what was
said in here few moments ago, didn't
your"
Delaney confessed that he had heard
it all.
We'll, all right, then. My conscience is
clear. Take her, and may the Lord have
mercy on your soul! Her mother was
sweet and timid oncew
When they shook hands Delaney Wal
lingford saw tears in the old mans eyes.

PascO's Joke ON Bate.

Senator Pasco, of Florida, has a joke on
Senator Bate, of Tennessee, which the lat
ter does not relish, although he is taking it
with as much good nature as possible. saws
the Washington Post For some four or
five years the Tennessee senator has intro
duced bills providing for the payment of a
large war claim in favor of the book con-
Germ of the Methodist Church, South. The
claim amounts to many thousands of dol
lars, and Senator Bate has urged il with
unusual zeal. He has labored with sena-
tors, personally pressing them to vote for
the bill in committee and in the Senate
He enlisted the aid of the late Senator
Harris, and subsequently of Senator Tur-
ley, his present colleague. Not long ago
he succeeded in securing a favorable report
from the Senate committee on war claims
ana the bill was, in due order, placed on
The House calendar Senator Pasco, who
Us the first minority member of the com
mittee, was designated to make the for
nal report in the Senate. Senator Pasco
had considered the measure in committee
but' so far as is known, had never shown
any especial zeal for it,
The joke on Senator Bate came a few
days ago when a conference of Methodist
churches down in Florida passed resolu-
tons commenting the earnestness of a
certain senator in bringing the bill. in
winch the church is so much interested. to
the attention of the Senate The name Of
Senator Bate was not mentioned, but Sem
ator Pasco was remembered with lavish
praise.

An Irishman was hauling water in bar
rels from small river to supply the in
habtants of the village, which was not
provided with water works, says Tit Bits.
AS he halted at the top of the bank to give
blow before proceeding to peddle tbe
water, a gentleman of the inquisitive TYNE
rode up, and after passing the time of dav.
asked:
How long have you been hauling water
for the village, my good mann"
Tin years or more, sor," was the re-
ply.

said the gentleman, laughing. How much
water have you hauled altogether?"
The Irshman jerked his thumb in the
direction of the river. at the same time

piled:

some OF the gubernatoriaI candidates in
his state are attracting as much atten-
ion as their most enthusiastic supporters
could desire. They are urging their agents
TO get the little court house cliaues ready
for the great battle for delegates which,
by the way. is stin long way off, and
they are taking care to get the right things
said about them in the newspapers.
1t would be a blessing to this state if
there were less state politics. AS things are
now the politicians hardly give the far
mers time to plant and harvest their crops
or business men an opportunity TO attend
to their business affairs. They are either
after an office themselves or are helping
those who, if fortunate, will give them
places. or who Will help them when their
turn comes to try for the Office of COVER
nor or senator or some other desirable
position.

tainty who will be the Democratic nominee
for governor. All of those who are expect
ed to be candidates have not yet taken the
people into their confidence Each of those
who have made an announcement of their
intention TO be candidates, talks as con-
tidently of success as if the nomination
had already been offered to him. Each has
assurances that a majority of the counties
will elect delegates favorable to him and
friends he would reward If he should sue
coed in getting the office.
What a pity it is that the politicians and
newspapers cannot let the governorship
question alone until the time for electine
delegates to the state convention is with
in reasonable distancei The peo-
pie then would have a little free
dom from politics and could give then
whole attention to their private business
affairs. That, however, is not the way a
campaign for an office is conducted in this
state. No sooner is a governor or senator
chosen than efforts TO succeed him are be-
gun. The consequence is that the officials
being always on the lookout for oppor.
tunities to increase their popularity, have
very little time to give to their official du
ties. The peoples interests are neglected
while the interests of the aspiring polite
ian are carefully looked after. 1t is honor

The Trouble With the Shoe Trade.
From the Memphis Commercial Dem).

The cause of the changed conditions in
the shoe trade is the duty imposed by
the Dingley act on raw hides. There is
absolutely no sense in such duty, for if
this country can't produce hides as well
as any other country in the world, it
ought to go out of the business. IL is
said that the shoe manufacturers earnest
~ protested against this duty, but the duh
Dingley was ineXorable. As result of his
folly, the business in New England is in
such condition that a general reduction
OF wages in the shoe factories seems In
evitable.

Commissioner Evans continues to talk
interestingly about the pension business.
He mentioned the other day several cases
of dependent" pensioners who were
clearly not in the least dependent upon
their pensions. He recalled that a few
years ago 1t was discovered that a West
ern senator worth several millions of dol
lars was drawing a pension. Representa-
tive Henderson of Iowa and Representa-
tive Grosvenor of Ohio draw pensions as
Judge Long of Michigan draws a pension
of $500 a month from the United States
and a salary of $500 from the state of
Michigan.

would have advanced rapidly. Let the
American producers reduce their crop and

The New York Sun has begun the pub
LEGATION Of the pension lists. It's issue of
Friday contained fifteen columns of
names of pensioners receiving annually
from $40 to 5000. The lnstalment publish
ed contained 1868 names, or a little more
than one-third of per cent. of the num-
Der of names on the rolls. The annual ex-
penditure represented by the fragment of
the list published by the Sun is $780, Co.,
or about one-forty seventh of the total
expenditure for pensions. If the full list
of $4,000 names were printed in the size
of type used by the Sun, it would fill
about ga pages, and if one page of names
were printed each week day, it would take
until October, 1899, to conclude the publ
cation. The Sun has presented very
striking object lesson to the country illus
trating the magnitude of the pension bus
mess thirty-two years after the end of the
civil war. The government should now
take up and carry to a conclusion the work
of giving newspaper publicity to the lists.

where Credit Is Due.

thank for what measure of prosperity has
been restored
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-01-09

people who have large interests, which
depend for prosperity upon being let alone,
regard the meeting Of the legislature with
alarm.
A session Of the legislature in this state
costs very large amount-an amount
which, if applied to other state expenses
would permit of a very considerable re-
duction' in taxation. The people want
lower taxes. not more laws. There are
already far more laws than they need
and many more than they have any knowl-
edge of. Most of the states now have
only one session every two years, and the
sooner Georgia joins the majority in this
matter the better it will be for her. With
less frequent sessions of the legislature
there would be less politics. The whole
state wouldn't be kept from one years end
to another in a condition of political ex-
element. The people would give more
attention to business, to the industries and
to the farms. The scheming and plot
ting of men who seek the Office of COVER
nor or senator, or who want to go to the
legislature, would interest them far less
than they do now.
