HOSPITAL NURSES
STRIKE IN AUGUSTA
LEAVING 50 PATIENTS ENTIRE
CORPS WALKS OUT IN ANGER
AT MATRoN, BUT RETURN.

AUGUSTA, Ca, July l2.-What must
rank as one of the most novel OF strikes
has Just been settled by the city hospital
authorities. Though the strike was inau-
gurated Wednesday night, the story only
got out yesterday afternoon
On Wednesday night Irwin Alexanoers
chairman Of the council hospital board,
was startled by a telephone message from
the matron, Miss Whitehead, at the city
hospital, that all the nurses, interns ana
employees were in q state Of rebellion. To-
gether with the mayor and DR.. ]. B. Nor
gan, he hurried down to the hospital 70

They found that all the nurses, Drs-
Byrd Turnbull and Adams and the negro
porters had walked out in a body. re-
fusing to return unless the matron was
dismissed.
They alleged that she was so overbeaF-
ing In her conduct towards them that
they had determined TO endure II no long,

Miss Whitehead remained.
There had been friction at the hospitai
for some time, and the trouble cuimi-
mated on Wednesday by the arbitrary cls-
missal Of one Of the nurses, Miss Bait
by the matron.
There were 50 patients in the hospital
at the time, some Of them in need Of con-
slant attention, and as II was impossiple

Cooper's was Of an originative mind
He made one of the earliest locomotives
in the world; he gained fortune by
such dissimilar methods as making
glue and forging iron and steel. He
was not great millionaire like the
Vanderbilt of his time, but he founded
Cooper Union, to which his heirs have
just given an additional endowment of
100000 and Andrew Carnegie a like
sum. This institution, the model OF
every great technical school since
founded, is thus placed beyond want or
accident of narrowing means. And
thereby hangs tale not widely enough
known.
Peter Cooper built the union, lived to
see it filled with students unable to
pay for education along the usual lines
many of them compelled to work by
day and able only to enter the night
classes; but he did not endow it sufi-
GENTLY. Even when he had shrunk to
thistledown of man sheltered from
the wind it did not occur to him that he
might die.
Die he did, and his work was in dam
ger of being crippled. Without self-ad-
vertisement-their action not suspect
ed until long afterward-his family
made up the deficiency from year to
year. AS the work grew it was neces-
sary to rent part of the building for
commercial uses to provide funds. AS
late as 1897 the endowment was only
100000; the yearly expenses are $780,
600. Mr.. Carnegie has givenin all $780,
600 to the union; besides keepingit go
ing 15years Edward Cooper and Abram
S. Hewitt have given as much more. 1t
is one of the most solidly endowed as
well as one of the Oldest technical
schools in the world.

USING CONVICT LABOR.
1t Might Be Employed Advantage
ously in the Construction of
Permanent Roads.

The coming of the Southern rail-
ways good roads train has, we believe,
done more to arouse interest in the
subject of better highways than any
thing that has ever been attempted
along this line. 1t has not only afford
ed valuable object lesson in the prac-
teal work of road building, but it has
put the people to thinking on the
problem of how to secure better roads.
This thought has naturally turned to
that class of labor which the state al
ready owns and controls-its convicts.
And the opinion seems to be forming
that some rational, practical plan for
utilizing this labor to this end is the
one to be first considered.
The Journal frankly admits that it
has not as yet given the matter suffi-
Gent thought to be able to advance a
definite idea as to what is best along
this line, but it has been impressed
with the suggestion that to use the
convicts to build modern system of
public highways is to be carefully con-
sldered, providing such system can
be made practically self-supporting
and at the same time be free from the
Objectionable features which are, OBJ
viously, involved in this public display
OF criminals in stripes.
The first and foremost benefits to be
derived, it seems to us, is in removing
the convicts from competition with
honest, free labor-a condition which,
while clearly objectiona bic, is no easy
one to solve.
Other states have tried to solve this
problem in various ways, but so far
with Indifferent success. If, as claimed,
to turn the whole system over to the
work of building modern roadways is
the solution of it, we take it that
every one will welcome such an ar,
rangement.
The proposition to make the system
self-supporting by conducting cloth
ing, shoe and tool factory and farm
in connection with the system, where
all long term, decrepit men and women
convicts may be employed in produc-
ing supplies for the entire system, and
Tor this purpose alone, seems, on the
face of it, to be one way of removing
the convicts, as nearly as would ever
be possible, from competition with
free labor, and at the same time of
making the system practically self
supporting.
At any rate, the matter is one that is
going to occupy the attention of our
people from now on, and it may even
be made an issue in future Legislative
elections, so that we may reasonably
expect to see the solution reached be-
fore very long.-Atlanta (Ga.) Journal.

EARLY Cultivation Counts.

Many farmers fail to realize how
much easier and cheaper it would be
to do more of the required cultivation
before the crop is planted. Begin
your preparations early enough SO
that when you have your land ready to
plant you can leave it alone for a
week or more, and then harrow and
cultivate the surface over again. One
crop of weeds will thus be destroye
at light expense and the surface will
be brought into finer filth and bet
ter prepared to receive the seed. On
lands liable to suffer from drought
this process may be profitably ex-
tended for weeks or months before
planting the crop.-Midland Farmer.

Cottonsecd OIL Industrv

According to the latest census re-
ports, there are 357 establishments in
the United States for the manufac-
ture of cottonseed oil, using 2,499, 1856
tons of cottonseed, costing $2s, 632,-
GIG, an average cost of $11.55 per ton.
The total value of the products from
this amount of seed used was $42, 411,-
S35. The quantity crushed was SO per
cent. of that produced. The figures
given arc for 1900. 1t is likely that
owing to the high price of cottonseed
and nasal, the figures for this seasons
work will amcs.nt to an increase of
about rs per cent.

STORE-BOX FARMERS.
They Are the Fellows Who object
Against the Introduction of
Rural Mail Delivery,
rnn and He

The chairman of the committee on
post offices in congress declares, in an
interview, that free delivery of rural
mail is not favored everywhere and
cites as proof that some country peo-
pie somewhere are objecting because
they are denied the privilege of their
store visits to get the mail and also
that some are not on the route and are
objecting. He concludes by saying he
will go to the bottom of the affair and
intimates that further appropriation
is not desirable. If the above is not
"cheap store" talk never heard of it.
If the chairman had read the several
letters of the assistant postmaster
general he would have found all of
these objections stated and at the
same time have seen them completely
removed. Free delivery does not
throw any barrier in the way of the
"store meeting" it only disarms the
boys and men of the Email excuse.'
From the above interview we would be
led to believe that the social and ed
vocational training of the rural peo-
pie depended upon these "store meet
ings." Who attend? The leaders of
society and the most successful? Nay,
verify. Here we invariably find the
Jack-knife farmer and those of his
class. The knowledge to be gained by
such association is minus quantity
and the language used is not accord
ing to our best grammarians, while
the stories told are not worth the
time, and destroy the mind for better
things. If the "store meeting" is so
classical why not take our daughters
and wives along? But, alas, we cannot.
From this we rebel, for it is free deliv-
cry of another kind that makes it OBJ
noXious to our ladies. You all know
what I mean by this latter delivery
it usually consists of box two feet
square, filled with ashes or sawdust
These "store meetings instead of do
ing good actually result in great
many wrongs. The wife is left at home
to carry the wood and water, the stock
oftentimes goes without feed, the girls
are obliged to go without the paper OF
magazine till the store meeting is over
and so it continues.

patience with my fellow farmers Sc
much as to see them idling their time

much better if this time were spent in

Rural Free Mail Delivery,

The post office department is going
to try new experiment in rural free
delivery. The local plan has proved
such great success that the system
will be made universal in counties
where conditions are favorable. The
government has tried it in one county
in Pennsylvania, and will make the ex-
pertinent in Peoria and Vermillion
counties, Ill. The reason why these
counties were selected was because the
population was more evenly distribut.
ed and because the roads were general
ly good. Farmers who want the bene-
fits of free rural mail delivery should
see to it that their roads are kept up
in shape, SO that they would be pass
able at all seasons of the year.
