 r SEPTEMBER WAS DRY-There was very little rain during the month of Sep tember, and the weather was generally very pleasant and free from any of the objectionable features usually attending 1t in this section of the country. The temperature was mild and at no time ex- treme, although about the fifteenth the mercury dropped to 45 degrees and a few were seen with overcoats.
 CAMP HARDEE MEETS-Camp liar dee. U. c. ", will hold its regular meet ing this afternoon at 2 o'clock in the rooms in the Tomlinson building. This is the first meeting since Commander John W. Johnston left the city for Vir- ginia. Lieutenant Commander J. B. Francis will be in the chair. The com mittee on the Camp Hardee cottage will probably have further report to make. COTTON RECEIPTS-The movement of cotton this season started several weeks ahead of last yes N The Septem- Der receipts at the congresses in Bir- mingham totaled 6555 bales as compared with 23o6 bales in September of 1901 Bir- mingham handled 112000 bales last sea- son and the receipts will probably reach | 120, 600 for this cotton year. All but about ten or fifteen thousand bales come to this market by rail from points within a radius of 100 or 125 miles. The nearby cotton comes in wagons.

could praise any medicine higher than Mrs. Edna Scott-Bowen recom- mends Wine of Cardui. This Wine cured her of terrible fsmale suffering which was becoming more and more unDearable as doctor after doctor failed to bring relief. Her life seemed hardly worth the living but she finally tried Wine of Cardui and se- cured relief. Ovez 1000, 900 suffer ing women now cured can bear this same testimony. Wine of Cardui will cure you just as it cured Mrs. Edna Scott Bowen. Go to your druggist today and buy sl % bot tie. Take it in the privacy of your room and the relief it always brings will be yours. This is the same offer we made to Mrs. Scott Bowen months ago. We make it to you now.

Suggests the Debs Case.

Continuing, Mir Wilcox said:
 erhe true course for the national gov ernment is, therefore. to proceed In &C., cordance with the precedent in the Debs case. These considerations were called 10 the attention of the President ana tne attorney general last June
 ssThe anthracite coal companies are making every effort to mine coal as rap- idly as possible. They are obstructtd by the failure of the state authorities to fully protect those who desire to work for them, and by the failure of the national government to enforce the statue under which the mine workers association has already been held to be illegal. As soon as action of that sort Is effectively taken | there can be no doubt that the supply of | coal will be ample. The question ut pres ent is merely whether an unlawful asso- 1 ciation shall be permitted in this country, by means of which persons are to decide whc saall work, what shall be his hours of work, and what he shall be paid This is the contrary to the spiTt and the let- ter of our laws. If they are enforced such an effort will cease at once"
 The United Mine Workers, he de,lered, are trying to prevent the production of coal, but in spite of that fact the com par,ies arc producing about 15 per cert of the normal output. with the amount steadily increasing.
  would have increrased more rapidly but for the failure of the state and national governments to protect the life and prop erty of those desiring to work for the operators and to protect the operators | from the onslaught of this illegal com bination to monopolize the entire fuel supply of the country. If the functions of | government in this regard were efficiently | discharged production would be rapid | enough to supply all necessities. Grave | as are the matters mentioned in the Pres l ident's memorandum the questions fun l damentally involved are even more seri- | ous. They are whether freedom of life l and property are to continue in this | country or are to exist merely in acord- | ance with the will of combinations and l conspiracies which are prohibited by the 1 constitution and the statutes and the | common law. and whether this company s | faithful employees are to be delivered to | the destruction which surely awaits them | in case of the triumph of the mine work | ers association. This company respect | fully and earnestly urges upon the Pres | ident the use of his lawful powers in the
 premises which was made in the Debs case by one of his predecessors and l which was sustained by all the courts. | If the national government would now | enforce the law with equal promptness | the strike would end next week.

CRITICISM woR 45 AMERICA"

In The Trades and Labor Gazette,
the organ of the London trades union
lists, Mr.. James Mcdonald, it's editor,
who is also secretary Of the London
trades council, has the following re-
marks to make about his fellow work.
ers in the United States:
1.-THE American workman, it appears
to us, may grumble less and more read
lily respond to the invitation of his cap
italist taskmaster because he is bet
ter broken animal.
"He recognizes capital as king and
fully understands that the capitalist
owns him body and soul and that he
must lay at the feet of his king, CAPT.
tai, all his physical and intellectual en-
ergies and fight his battles.
HE is entirely the creature of CAPT.
tai and has no more real independence
than the machine he works. He claims
to be the most independent worker on
earth, but that independence is, never
theless, entirely subject to a money
value, and up to the present he has
sold it to the highest bidder.
Enthusiastically and politically the Am
erican worker in the political sense is
the most degraded of creatures-most
degraded because his opportunities are
greatest. American workmen only obey
animal instincts"

GOOD PAY AND RIGHTS.
Money Is Not All Powerful With
American WOrkingmen.

A distinguished American who means
we'll and believes what he says has
informed gathering of Frenchmen
that in America when men are we'll
paid they do not bother much about
their rights"
That sounds we'll from the point of
view of the man who dislikes strikes
and such troubles, but how about the
facts?
The most desperate strike we ever
had was a strike by the locomotive en-
gineers, one of the very best paid class
es of workmen.
The highest paid mechanics are those
whose unions are the strongest and
who insist most rigidly upon the exact
letter of their rights.
George Washington was a very rich
man for his day, but that did not keep
him from insisting upon his rights.
Danton, the gigantic figure in the
French revolution, was a rich French
man, about as prosperous in proportion
as Elihu Root at the present day. But
he was willing to risk and lose his head
for his rights, and so were those asso-
ciated with him-Marat, one of the
ablest and most prosperous physicians
Of his time, and a. great many others.
OF the men who in France led the
great movement for their rights almost
every one was a man financially pros
porous. Not a single poor, underpaid
workingman achieved any eminence in
that movement,
It is the man not we'll paid who cares
little about his rights.
Such a. mans vitality is low from
long hours and poor living. His pride
is low, his ambition is withered, he is
easily managed.
The Chinese cody, for instance, SIM
ply bows humbly> when he is told that
his head must come off, and any order
he receives is obeyed. He does not
even think that he has any rights, and
he gets 2 or cents a day.
The American bricklayer and mason,
the American carpenter, is far diff
ferent proposition from the Chinese
cody.
He is very we'll paid, and he cares a
great deal more for his rights than for
anything else.
Wages are going up in this country,
up.
AS men get more money, more educa-
ton, more leisure, more personal pride,
they will insist more and more firmly
on their rights as human beings, and
that blessed fact it is that will eventu-
ally give us a real republic and a real
government of the people.-New York
Evening Journal.

Richard Goff, the Famou2 Judge,
snys Things to Fashionable
Audience. So
Richard Golf made an address be-
fore the January meeting of the Nine
teenth Century club in New York
which, according to the World, made
his fashionable audience gasp. Fol-
lowing is an extract from the Worlds
report:
Recorder Golf was the last speaker.
He spoke with slow and measured
emphasis, very much as judge would
when charging jury in an important
case. He looked his fashionable audi
ence squarely in the face, and his index
finger very often punctuated his re-
marks.
II think we assume little too much
if we make the mistake to congratu-
late ourselves on the present state of
our society and our position in it. The
aristocracy and nobility Of France
took the same position before the revo-
luton in regard to what they called
their rights, but was it. not their lives
which caused their revolution? The
mobiles amused themselves In luxury
and wealth while the people starved.

period of depression when thousands
of men went without work in this city
meeting of workingmen in Tompkins
square.
All of a sudden a. squad of police
men entered the square. They dubbed
men, women and children indiscrim-

can. No attempt was made to arrest
anybody because no law had been vio-
lated. The next day the papers were
full of praise for the finest, who had

WAGES AND PRICES.
Father Ducey Takes Executions to
Statement Madasby Mr.. Carnexie.


Father Ducey, the humanitarian and
progressive priest Of New York is after
Andrew Carnegie, who said that "any
man could get all the work he wanted
in this country" Father Ducey,
speaking to his people in St. Loe's
Catholic church, said: "Andrew Car
negie knew he lied when he said it,
He advised his hearers to go about the
department stores and attempt to Sc
cure work for worthy persons, as he
has done. There is no doubt whatever
that a man in Father Ducey's position
has opportunities for knowing the con-
dition of the people to which Carnegie
is a stranger. But, aside from that
every man with eyes to see, knows that
the priest is right and that Carnegie
lied.
Again, Carnegie uttered another lie
when in his address to the Young
Mems Christian Association Of New
York he made the statement that 1T
is one of the most cheering facts of
the wages of labor tend to rise and
tend to fall.''
That there has been any actual rise
in wages is being disproven by nearly
every bulletin issued from the census
bureau. And as to the tendency Of
prices to fall every housekeeper in the
land with brain enough to keep a COM
mon account and make comparisons
knows that the claim is utterly false.
Figures carefully compiled for Dun's
Review show that there has been a
remarkable advance in the price of
the necessaries of life since July 1, 1897,
amounting to about $50 per capita.
