This matter should be taken up and acted
upon at once.

upon the erection of other plants Of equal
size. Proven a success, two additional
thousand-ton plants win themselves
within a year.
Colonel A. NJ Shook who has watched
over the growth of this steel mill from the
day the first spade of dirt was dug. like
a mother over her child, will be here Mon
day to watch over the finishing touches of
the last few weeks OF its growth. Colonel
Shook mas a broken leg. the result of

Speaking of Ensiey, l was surprised TO
learn tie other day that The new cement
plant is already partially in operation and
has turned out several experimental oar
rels OF cement. The test of this cement,
which is. by the way, made from Stag,
shows its strength to be fully equal, if not
greater than the finest imported Portland
cement Indeed, it is said that no better
cement has been made in the world Inc
capacity of the mill when complete will be
someuaing like a thousand barrels per day.
This cement plant has gone up without
any noise being mace over it. 1t was CON-
structed by people who did not ask for any
local aid or donation. 1t is strictly bust
ness concern, and will probably make
large return upon the investment.
There are other large plants of other
kinds which will soon rear their heads
above substantial founda lions within this
district There is one great aggregation of
capital figuring ON a manufacturing plant
which will mean an outlay of perhaps five
million dollars. Indeed, engineers are at
work all about Birmingham, and 1t is be-
tae great manufacturing center of the land.

dwelling places of sin that is without hope.
There is not upon the earth any man OF
woman worthy of love who does not hearken
to that call! Some of you my beloved
many of you in Gods goodness-haVe klssed
dimpled arms, dimpled faces of innocence
of your own begetting, and all the dimpied
Innocence has been but the echo OF that
bidding of the villagers spoken two thous-
and years ago. There is another cry calling
through all the spaces of the earth and the
years, one glad, sweet proud, human song,
and that is the divine benedietion-"Neith
do | condemn thee" These emotions are
come of the calls of the Most High. Deny
them, and you deny all that is worth the
living out of the life appointed to each of
us in the plan of the worlds salvation.
In the other Sunday there was given a
cry for mercy, as mercy is known to such
of us as dwell in this valley. The answer
to that cry is full, it is complete. 1t comes
from true men and strong, and in its full
ness it is the fullness of that which is good
and which makes for the redemption. 1t
was and is response to the call of Saint
James. 1t was and is pure religion and
undefiled." If men did but know how many
wounded souls had found refuge in the
Mercy Home they would linger longer and
more lovingly in the giving of aims through
constituted authorities. The good women
who planned and builded the Mercy Home
planned and builded in the name and the
cause of the broadest human mercy and
divine charity. There is none that viii hes
itate to pay them the tribute of profound
thanlzfulness. And there is none who suf-
fers or has suffered who will not be CRATE

needs of the Mercy Home, one of the places
named for such as are bruised of heart and
sore stricken of sorrow.
Some friend of the person who murmurs
of the world, having read something here
printed with regard to The laughter Of chill
dren, sends, with affectionate commenda-
ton, words of Ingerson, who sought vainy
to know things he now knows, or knows
nothing. The catholicism of him who
writes does not permit of choosing in this
place as to Ingersoll or any man. Ingersoll
said upon one occasion: Strike with
fire, o, weird musician, thy harp strung
with Apollo's golden hair. Fill the vast
dim, deft touches of the organ keys! Blow
bugler blow, until thy silver notes do
touch and kiss the moonlit waves and
charm the lovers wandering mid the vine
clad hills; but know thy sweetest strains
are discord all compared with childhocds
happy laugh. The laugh that fills the eyes
with light and every heart with joy, oh,
ripping river of laughter, thou art blessed
boundary line between the beast and man,
and every wave of time doth drown some
fretful fierd of care! Oh laughter, rose
Tipped laughter. of joy, there are dimples
enough in thy cheeks to catch and hold
and slorify all The tears of grief
It comes TO this my beloved. There is in
the promises of God nothing if thore be
not hope, joy, charity, beauty and virtue
in the laughter OF children

We know that Governor Johnston tried
to defeat the bill for increased appropria-
lions through his friends to relieve himself
of the necessity of vetoing it. We know
that the bill carrying special tax rate was
passed over his private opposition, and that
he only signed it because it would have
been unpopular to refuse to do so. We
know these things from source as reliable
as that from which the Journal speaks.

suitors and gave them Ulysses bow to

picture of the faithful and devoted
wife.
Madam Dreyfus is the modern Pen
elope who for years faced the abuse Of
the press of Paris and unnumbered OBJ
stacles, fought an entire nation and
won just cause. 1t was she whom
the despicable du Patty de Clam ap-
preached, suggesting the intidelity of
her husband in the hope that she
would turn against him. 1t was she
who stayed in Paris and faced the
shafts which could not reach her hus-
band on desolate DEVILS island.
1t was the heroic wife who besought
sovereigns and chancellors and diplo
mats. 1t was she who moved the Ger
man government to say that Dreyfus
was innocent. 1t was she who worked
day and night until the court of casa
ton gave its verdict. M.
