Legality of Ballots

'"Ilhere has been some apprehension about the legality of t'ne ballots in our county, which were stated by the papers to have been voted for W. T. Taylor instead of w. s. Taylor, the republican nominee for governor. The error was made by the clerk of the county in tnving the tickets printed, and they read William IT, making it far more probable that they were in tended for and should be counted for Fay Tor, and the democratic judge so decided. But the use of the transparent ballots in Knox county was purely Illegal and de- feated clearly the purpose of the law in having secret ballot. l saw half dozen of the ballots used and you can stand six feet off and tell how the vote was cast, this means being used to frlghten employees Of the Railroads and corporations into vot- ing the republican ticket.
 Talks of organ
 By the way" continued tae governor "I note that you are having something of a contest in this state and that Senator Morgan is being opposed by Governor Johnston.
 ''I do not know the latter, but have been thrown frequently with Senator Morgan in public life. At the time I was chairman of the committee on foreign affairs of the house he was chairman of the foreign relations comm1ttee of the senate, and We were necessarily often in consultation. Again when l went as delegate to the monetary conference in Brussels, Senator Morgan went to Paris in the Behrlng sea matter. So you see I am in position ito speak of him knowingly and say without hesitation that he has not peer among the democrats in the senate, to say noth- ing of the republicans. He is an able man in every sense of the word, and the nation needs such men as he is at this time more so perhaps than ever in our history. But. or course, there is no need to tell Alabam- dans, and especially those of his home, of the greatness of Morgan"

NEXT MEETING

 Labor Adjourn. PASS STRONG RESOLUTIONS Denounce President Mckinley as the Bitter Enemy of Labor and Urge Working Men to Assist in
 Defeating Him.
PASS STRONG RESOLUTIONS

Boston, November 23.-The general assem- bly, of the Knights of Labor today selected Birmingham, Ala, as the next meeting place and spent the day considering nation- al questions. Resolutions were adopted protesting against what was styled "an at- tempt to smother an honest investigation by the industrial commission; condemning combinations and trusts and the attitude of the government toward labor in Cuba and Wardner, Idaho, and characterizing President Mckinley as the "bitter enemy of labor" urging laboring men to vote against him and his associates.
 The resolution concerning the investiga- tion by the industrial commission was passed with amendment referring the matter to the executive board with instruc- tions to formulate the protest in strong language as possible and forward it to President Mckinley.
 A protest from district assembly No 220 of Brooklyn against the alleged unjust treatment by the governor general of Cuba of labor organizations in their attempt to introduce an eight hour system, and against the same treatment in affairs at Wardner, Idaho brought on the adoption of a rather startling resolution It was as follows: tnrt.ing ResoIuiio
 Resolved, That the general assembly has ample evidence that President Mckinley, aware of the conditions that exist In these places Cuba and Wardner), and has, to say the least, made no effort to redress the wrongs or to correct them, although urged to do so by prominent labor leaders, con- gressmen and United tSates senators, and we therefore must recognize William Me- Kinley as the bitter enemy of labor, and ask labor to use its votes against him and his assoca tes."
 The resolution was passed and the gen. eral officers were asked to give 1t wide pub licity.
 On the subject of international bank bills the recommendations of the general secre- tary and treasurer were concurred in. The subject of the recommendation was that if the bill be again presented to congress the members are urged to oppose it. On the trust question. the resolution adopted, said:
 Resolved, That the order of the Knights of Labor is a mortal enemy of the system that is rapidly getting the great industries of the nation under ownership or control of large combinations of capital, popularly known as trusts, and we call on the order and working people everywhere to take ground as unit against any political leg isative effort to foist such institutions uDon us"

OUAIL'S FLIGHT
One Mile is About the Limit of its En-

One Mile is About the Limit of its En-
durance.
A number of sDortsmen have been
discussing the question of how far a
quail can fly. There are a good many
contingencies to be considered in ar
irving at a definite conclusion of the
question. If there is a stiff wind blow
ing and the birds course is with the
wind full-grown quail could certainly
go more than a mile with ease, and
doubtless much greater distance
Those who have noticed quail trying to
fly across the Missouri river, where the
distance is about a mile, recall that not
all the birds make the trip safely They
usually pick spot where they can
make halt on sandbar in midstream
and thus cross the river in two flights.
BYt sometimes they make the distance
at a single flight and this seems to be
their full limit under normal condi-
tions, for when they alight they are
completely exhausted. 1t is generally
believed that on an average a mile is
about the limit of the flight of a quail.
where it is neither favored nor retarded
by the wind. 1t happens very often
that in crossing the Missouri river at
a Jingle flight quail drop exhausted into

tralian emu. Such must very often be
the case, especially as the real African
ostrich becomes more and more rare 1t
is true there are two flourishing ostrich
farms in the United States. but neither
of these produces the fine ostrich
plumes, as the ostrich invariably degen-
crates under alien skies.
The emu whose feathers are beginning
to be largely used as a substitute for
ostrich plumes is still plentiful in many
parts of Australia, although the hunting
down of this beautiful animal has been
one of the highly civilized white mans
gentle sports. This first cousin of the
African ostrich is an affectionately dis
posed animal, for he always roamS over
his native plains with his lady-love along
with him.
They nest during the Australian winter.
in May and June. They have more ad
vanced ideas on the subject of nesting
than has the ostrich, who is content TO
lay her eggs in meer scraping in the
SAND. The more fastidious emu chooses
a place near a tree or stump, where it
makes a collection of leaves, grass or
bark Unlike most nests, 1t is not round,
but oblong. and in this odd nest the fe-
male lays as many as eighteen eggs.
