MIR, HOPKINS TO
SAIL JUNE 20
RETIRING PRESIDENT OF SLOSS-
SHEFFIELD COMPANY is GOING
ABRoAD-HIs SUCCESSOR, MR..
MABEN, Is EXPECTED APRIL is.

Mr. E. O. Hopkins, who retires from the
presidency Of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and
Iron Company on May l. will sail with
his family for Europe on the Oceanic
June 25.
Col. J. C. Maben, who succeeds Mr. Hop
kins, will be due in Birmingham about
April Is. He is a native Of Richmond, Va,
but has lived In New York since early in
the seventies. He is many times mil
lionaire. He will bring his family to Biz
mingham and will make this city his fu-
member of the executive committee of the
Sloss-Sheffield Company for many years,
and as he has been a frequent visitor to
Birmingham, he is well known here.
1t is believed that shortly after his ar
rival Colonel Maben will announce his
selections to fill vacancies caused by res
ignations already published Prominent
among those who have resigned are Mr..
Gentry Hillman, superintendent of the
company's city furnaces Mr.. ]. ]. Gray,
Jr., superintendent of the Sheffield fur
naces, and Auditor Charles H. Scholar.
Mr.. Gray has purchased from the Union
Trust Company of Philadelphia the Rock
dale furnace in Mawry County, Tenn, and
expects TO have it in blast by June l. The
| Nashville News says:
Mr.. Gray's resignation from the Sloss-
i Sheffield Company becomes effective on
| May l, when he will go Immediately to
take personal charge of his furnace. By
| personal application to the work he ex-
| poets not only to make a success of the
| business. but by example to build up the
region, which abounds in opportunities for
money making. He thinks that quite a
town will be formed at Rockdale, and in
/ tends to forward the movement in con-
nection with his furnace. Some idea of the
extent of this business can be gained from
the fact that Mr.. Gray estimates his
freights on raw materiaI VIII amount to
| over $4,000 a month, and that his pig iron
| shipments will go much higher"

ROOSEVELT ENDS
VISIT To SOUTH
Expressed Great Pleasure at the
Treatment Received

Summerville, S. c., April l0.-The visit
of President Re osevelt and party to the
South terminated here today. No special
programme had been arranged for the
day.
When the President came downstairs he
held an informal reception in the hotel
parlors and shortly afterward, accompa-
MED by most of his party, was taken for
drive to Dorchester, the site Of the old
Spanish fort under the escort of Capt
E. w. Wagner and J. C. Hemphill.
The tea farm of Dr. Sheppard, not far
from the Inn was next visite ed and the
President alighted from his carriage
number of diminutive negro tea pickers
were lined UP in front of DIR. Sheppard's
house and sang the Star Spangled Ban
ner" America" and other patriotic
airs.
The President gratefully thanked them.
The arrival at the tea farm was later
than had been planned and the stay was
very brief, but the President saw enough
OF the industry to cause him to congratu-
late DR.. Sheppard in the work he is do
ing and to wish him every success. The
party was then driven direct to the
gouthern Railroad depot where the special
train was in waiting. A company of ma
rines who had acted as his guard while
ut Charleston and here under Capt. Hy
Leonard, were lined up on the depot plat
form. The President thanked them fol
their services and expressed his regret
that they did not participate in tn,
Prince Henry ceremonies, because, ht
said he was sure they would have made

for Washington amid the cheers ano
hurrahs of an immense crowd, which hat

sCHwAB's RETIR GMENT.

1t may be true that MIR. Schwab re-
tires from the presidency of the Billion
Dollar Steel Trust because his health
has failed, but the chances are that
there is another and a better reason
for his retirement. 1t does not seem
reasonable that his health should fail
SO suddenly. Until a couple of weeks
ago he was a strong and healthy man,
as far as the public knows. Then it
was given out that he was i'll at At
lantic City, but it turned out, if the
dispa tches are to be ..redite1, that
there was nothing serious the matter
with him. He was confined to his
house, under the care of his physician,
for a few days. and then he returned
to his office in New York City.
Now it is stated that he is to retire
to go to a quiet place where he can
obtain absolute rest. No doubt the
great majority of those who take an
interest in the Billion Dollar Steel
Trusts affairs and who have followed
Mr.. Schwab's career wonder whether
his health has failed or whether he
has failed to give satisfaction to the
men who really control the great steel
trust. The probability is that the
trouble is not with Mr. Schwab's
health, but grows out of a disagree
ment between Mr.. Schwab and the di-
rectors of the trust.
Mr.. Schwab probably favors one pol
f1x- t.
trust and the directors, or a majority
of them, favor another. lie finds HIM
self out of touch with those who are
more powerful in the trust than he is.
That probably is the true reason for
his retirement. If it is would it not
be the better plan to say so?
1t will be recalled that on a number
of occasions Mr.. Schwab has said that
the trust in the last year could have
made millions of dollars more than it
did. 1t could have put UP prices Con-
sumers were ready to pay more than
they did But, according to Mr..
Schwab, it was the desire of the trust
not to place itself in the position where
1t could be charged with grinding out
of the people all it was possible to get
out OF them. 1t was its policy TO be
satisfied with fair profits In that way
1t hoped to gain and retain the good
will of the public and to overcome the
sentiment against trusts.
May it not be that this was Mr..
Sehwab's policy, and that because he
adheres to it he is being forced out of
his position? May there not be grasp
Ing men in the corporal ton who insist
that the trust shall make every dollar
1t is possible for it to make. These
questions may have no foundation
Whatever but in hunting for the real
cause of Mr.. Schwab's resignation it
might be well TO give them some con-
sideration.

NO DRoNEs FOR THIS CHURCH.

The Chestnut Street Baptist Church
ia Gainesville, this state, has adopt
ed a resolution to the effect that If any
male MEMBER of that church fails to
attend the church conferences three
times in succession, such member shall
be excluded without trial from the fell
lewship of the church and his name
stricken from the roll. This, we learn
from the Gainesville News, is an in
novation in church discipline and has
teen the subject of considerable dis
cUssion. The pastor of the congrega-
ton, explaining the resolution, Is
quoted as saying: I'VE don't mean
to force or practice coercion in the
least. The resolution is by way of re-
hinder to the members, and we believe
they will come. If one of the church
members shows that he takes no in
terest in his church and its welfare,
he is no Christian, and If he is no
Christian he has no business being in
the church"
The preacher is logical. II one ism
a Christian, one has no business being
in a church as one of its members.
Still. it is to be admitted that the nom
Christian church member is sometimes
found very useful. especially in such
matters as clearing off the church debt.
making up the pastors salary, and
chipping into the fund for the heath
en-. In some communities non-attend-
ance or irregular attendance at church
services is often condoned when there
is a readiness to loose the purse
strings; besides, SO long as a member
re tains his membership. the church has
a string tied to him which may at last
be the means in his salvation, whereas
If he were cut wholly adrift he might
be lost.
Still we are inclined to agree with
the Gainesville pastor that there ought
to be no 1rones in the church organi-
cation. All ought to attend the SER
vices and work. But there is a wide
difference between desirability and
achievement. Even as we have the
poor always with us, so have we the
strikers and nom workers. How to deal
with these classes is a great problem.
1t will be observed that the edict of
the Gainesville church is directed
against the men only. We are in doubt
whether ti,is is because the women 90
rot need to be urged to go to church
and to work for the institution, or
whether they are good enough without
doing either.

He Left Them.

On the afternoon of Winslow's de-
parture for Denver he was paying his
bill, when he called Willie, hanging
fascinatingly near, says the Kansas
City Journal.

into the boys eyes, Ito go up stairs

two minutes to spare. Just as he

Winslow gazed at his empty-handed
emissary. His lips moved, but no
words came forth. Then, with an in
articulate snarl. he stepped into the

The Orange. Va, Observer breaks
out with the following sentimental
song: There is the man behind the
counter and the man behind gun, the
man behind the buzz saw and the man
behind his son; the man behind the
times and the one behind his rents.
the man behind the ploughshares and
the man behind the fence; and the man
behind the whistle and the man behind
the bars, and the man behind kodak
and the man behinds the cars: the
man behind his whiskers and the man
behind his fist. and everything behind
thing is entered on the list. But
they have skipped another fellow of
whom nothing has been said-the fell
low who is even or just a little ways
ahead; who always pays for what he
gets and whose bill is always signed
he's a blamed sight more important
than the man who is behind. All we
newspaper people and merchants and
the whole commercial clan are indebt-
ed for existence to this, honest, noble
man. He keeps us all in business and
his town is never dead-and so you
all take your hat off to the man who
is ahead"

The conversation turned to summer
reading the other day at a little porch
party of stay-at-homes, says the Balti-
more Sun.
THAT reminds me-" the girl in the
hammock said. "of a conversation l
overheard on the York Road car one
afternoon last week. I was sitting just
behind two broad shouldered young
men. who, judging by their CONVERSE
ton, were chums and classmates either
at the City College or the Johns Hop
kins. They had been separated for
some weeks, evidently, and they were
so glad to be together again that they
forgot that they were in a public con-
veyance. and discussed their affairs
loud enough for everybody in the car to
hear them.
From talking over vacation expert
ences they passed on to what they had
been reading. They talked a lot of
shop about their college work their
readings in the Latin classes, and then
one of them said that he had been do
ing lot of other old stuff. Among
other books he said he had read Don
Quixote.'
"'"Don Quixote"?' his chum asked.
What's that?'
"'Oh, it's the story of a man who
was straight on every other subject but
chivalry, and he was plum daffy on
that. The style of the book is rather
heavy, but l have been doing so much
of that sort of stuff this summer that
/ didn't mind that. The story tells how
the old fellow hunted up a lot of old
armor, and got another fellow to act
as his squire and the two sailed forth
in search of adventures. The Don saw
some windmills in the distance, and
declared thew eyia started
off to fight them"

true?'

Quixote repeated, of course not. It's

ArLANrA,s MAYoRALrY CONTEST

1t is evident that the mayoralty con-
test in Atlanta is going to be an in
teresting one. In fact it is already in
teresting. The chairmen of the cam
paign committees of the candidates are
discussing phases of the campaign with
an earnestness and directness that
promises to become quite personal be-
fore the day for holding the primary
is reached.
There is doubt as to the eligibility of
two of the candidates and the council
does not seem disposed to assist in the
work of removing the doubt. 1t is pro-
posed that it shall ask the Legislature
TO amend the law, but it appears to
be inclined to be disobliging.
1t is not certain of course that the
candidates are ineligible. Some of
the lawyers say one thing and some
another. The candidates in question,
however, no doubt feel it would be bet
ter for them to have the shadow on
their eligibility removed. If the Leg
is1ature shouldn't act in the matter
many of the friends of these candidates
might hesitate to vote for them on the
ground that they would be throwing
away their votes.
Judging from the tone of the COM
munications that have appeared thus
far from managers of campaigns of
candidates Atlanta papers will likely
contain much lively campaign litera-
ture before the choice of the next May
or of that city is made.
