DON'T WANT TO SAVE LABOR.
China Has No Use for Labor-Saving De-

Labor>saving devices are not wanted
in China. This is clearly shown by
Consul General GoodGow in a report to
the state department at Washington

association in New York.

barrow used here has one large wheel in
the middle and a seat on either side,
where passengers are carried.
''Once in a great while dirt is carried
in baskets in such barrow, but ordinarily
it is carried by coolie in two baskets
hung on the end of bamboo rod, bal.
anced on his shoulders. These baskets
are about the size and shape of a grain
scoop. LabOr-saving devices are not in
demand in China; the cheapest thing
here is a man. There is more labor
than can find employment. A coolie
carrying dirt will receive from TO 10
cents in gold per day. He must work
from sunrise to sunset-nOt very steadi-
ly or intensely, but putting in a great

WAS 1T A LICK AT CLAY?
GOBER TOUCHES UP THINGS INA
CHARGE TO GRAND JURY.
The Senator'S Friends Take Exception to
What the j udge Said About Appro.
priatiOns and Taxes.

A special from Marietta SAYS Judge
dooer's charge TO the Cobb county grand
jury, which is now in session, has caused
something of sensation.
Judge Gober read the statute prescrb.
ing the duties of grand juries in going
over the tax lists, and said that the bur
dens CT government should be b )rne
equally in proportion to wealth.
From this as starting poin. he dis
cussed federal taxation, the war tax and
the cost ofthe proposed federal prison
at Atlanta.
lie SAID that congress had voted $780,
100000 for war purposes and had in
creased it to $2OO,O00,OO0. He stated
that as the population of the country
was 70 100000 and that of Cobb county
was $4,000 Cobb's prorata part of the
sou, 10000 war appropriation was $16,>
oOO, and her part of the 5000, 100000 was
$4,000.
The judge asked where this was going
to end.
They are even talking about federal
prison down there at Atlanta - said he.
"What have we to do with that? Yet
Cobb county must bear its share of that
expense"
Judge Gober said that this govern
ment had started on the course of the
older governments of Europe, whose tax
burdens became 81 onerous that the peo-
pie finally revolted against excessive
taxation. He declared that if the tax
burden went on increasing ia this coun>
try it would cause the same results it
has caused IN the old world, and there
would be revolt here.
The charge Vas The subject of much
comment, and is considered as an attack
on Senator Clay for his advocacy of the
federal prison.
Senator Clay's friends resent this, and
it is said are red hot about the charge.

The Disease Is stiIl Prevalent in albany.
Several Deaths fromIt.
The Atlanta Journal prints the fol-
lowing special from Albany:
Two deaths occurred in Albany this
morning from meningitis, and the dis
ease seems to be dangerous one for this
city.
VIM. E. Hilsman, prominent drug
gist, died of the disease this morning at
o'clock.
His son, James Hilsmau, ten years
old, is lying dangerously i'll With the
same disease, and he is not expected to
live.
Guy Hilsman, the youngest son of DIR.
and Mrs. P. L. Hilsman, died today of
meningitis.
All of the local physicians and United
States surgeons pronounce the disease
which seems 20 be epidemic here as men
nights.
Two weeks ago meningitis was cpl
demic in the negro section of the CITY
and about one dozen negroes died of it.
Every effort was made to stamp out the
disease, and it was thought the work in
that direction had been successful. but
the death of two persons today would
seem to indicate that the situation is
somewhat dangerous.

MORE ROMANCE
Attaches to the Baldwin-Ray NuptiaIs at
Convict Camp.

Stories brought in from Dolive last
night heighten the romantic tinge sur
rounding the Baldwin Ray nuptials.
Colonel S. Z. Trap, E. w. Booker and
Dr.. w. H., Blake, convict inspection
board, made trip to Dolive yesterday
to look into the marriage.
1t seems that the foreman in charge of
Inc convicts' stOcNade there had antics
pated an effort to have wedding and
intercepted the messenger who secured
the marriage license for the couple.
But Justice of the Peace Burns, who
favored the love affair, interposed be-
tween the couples wishes and the inter
ference OF tie foreman, and the cere-
mony was performed anyhow. The story
is told that the justice of the peace
practically employed force in order to
expedite the marriage.
But Dr.. Baldwin was torn from his
girl wite's arms almost before the cere-
mony was concluded. Those in charge
of the stOckade' are religiously enforcing
the rule which stipulates that a convict
shall not enjoy the society of his family
during his term of imprisonment Mont.

was held OF those opposed to his candidacy and
a request that he resign was formulated. This
was presented to him by a committee. but
Lieut., Thompson gave no positive answer.
As the time for an election approached his
supporters grew moro active. and then
it was that his opponents offered tho
place to Capt. Hough. formerly OF the
First Regiment Engineers. United States

nights ago at tho company meeting. only
six votes were recorded in favor OF Lieut..
Thompson. the rest going to Capt Hough.

bear on the lieutenant to withdraw in the In
terest OF harmony. At first he declined. He
said that as he had faced the bullets on Fan
Juan hill he could not retire under fire now.

brought to bear. and last night Lieut.. Thomp-
