EARNEST APPEAL
 OF WAGE WORKERS.
CHAIRMAN OF THE CAMPAIGN
 COMMITTEE ISSUES HIS FINAL ADDRESS TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY

The chairman of the wage earners' campaign committee has issued the fol- lowing address:
 While you are in church Sunday en- toying the blessings of a free and happy people, think of the little children in the mill, factory and mine prisons of Alabama, many of whom are working for the pittance of 10 cents per day, in a. civilized country at that.
 If you would remove the shackles from their tender little feet and place them in school see that your friends fathers and sons vote for James Liddell. E. A. Veitch J. II. Leath and W. c. Cunning ham, who will introduce and vote for bills for the abolition of child labor and a higher standard of education.
 Think before you cast your ballot on Monday, ye fathers of the rising gen. erations of the thousands of little chil- dren who are chained to the spinning looms in this state for twelve long hours out of the twenty-four, where they are kept constantly at work until oftimes they fall to the floor exhausted, all for what? in order that dividends may be piled up for their masters. Vote for no man who does not favor the abolition of child labor. We say without fear of a successful contradiction that If there beA one scintilla of truth in Holy Writ, and
  heaven, the angels of God bow their heads in pity and shed tears of sympathy for these unfortunate, little ones when the whistle has sounded to dismiss them for the night
 Speak out, llberty-1oving people of Jef- ferson county at this time by casting your vote for men favorable to this meas- ure; 1t Is of far more importance than q railroad commission elected by the peo- fe t,f%o of our children and rears them in ig- norance and degenerates the Caucasian race.
 Let the prayers of our people go up Sunday that when the ballots are count ed, the death knell to child labor will have beer sounded.
 Let us say. Most Holy Master. direct our people alright at thls time; put it into their hearts to love our children and guard their future welfare; show them the evil influences surrounding these little slaves and inspire the voters tb elect men to go to Montgomery who will sec to it that the iniquitous system of child labor Is abolished.
 Some of these interruptions task masters will say that these infant indus tries arc grand and glorious institutions, and from the standpoint of dividends we think they arc right: but from hu- mane point ofview we know that 1t must and will be remedied, as it is a ques- tion that is at this hour kindling into a flame of resentment from the people of this great state who are going to see to 1t that our babies are protected Tn the future. If our mills cannot run under conditions that govern other industries. let them change their system. Let us not pile up dividends on The bones and wrecked lives of our little children. vots the wage-earners ticket and the boys will do the rest.
 Yours truly,

New YORK, Jan. %. 1902.

There has been just enough inquiry in
domestic leaf circles this week to save
dealers from an attack of mental depres-
sion. Houses that handle various kinds
of tobaccos have managed to keep their
volume of sales up to satisfactory
standard, but dealers who handle Seed
leaf only found it rather quiet so far as
actual sales were concerned. Consider
able 'looking' has been going on, how
ever, and as the inquiries seem to be of
sincere nature, merchants are hopeful
that the month as whole will produce
very satisfactory returns. Connecticut
and Pennsylvania Broad leaf are receiv-
ing the most attention.
Sumatr fair business is about the
best that can be said of this branch of
the market. Nearly all houses have their
statesmen out, and many samples are be-
ing held by manufacturers for considera-
ton, but large sales are unheard of, and
even fair sized deals are by no means
common.
Havana.-The past week was some
what disappointing to the Havana trade
as whole. A number of good sized
transactions which ought to have been
closed are still hanging fire, and while
there seems to be disposition to buy on
the part of manufacturers and dealers,
they are little slow in coming to terms.
The largest sale reported this week is
one of 125 bales of 1900 Remedies. 1st
I'd capaduras, which brought 50 cents in
bond.-Leaf.

New York.
NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 1902.

The natural hesitation among manu-
facturers, caused by the tariff agitation,
prevents them from buying, except for
immediate consumption, and as this
practice has been prevalent for consider
able time, the sales of leaf this week
about represent the actual needs of the
manufacturer. The week, indeed, open
ed rather stagnantly but toward the end
inquiry increased considerably and sales
were made, not in very large lots, but in
the aggregate sufficient to make re
spectacle showing. A large part of the
demand was for Connecticut Havana
seed and broad leaf, at stiff prices, with
other domestic goods following closely
Sumatra, which at the beginning of the
week looked very dull, frightened up
somewhat and transactions were far
from unsatisfactory. In Havana not
much actual business was completed
but several important negotiations are
in progress which are liable to be closed
before the week ends. AS whole, while
no very startling transactions have taken
place, trade has been far from unsatis-
factory. The prospects are still better,
for the tables of last years production
reveal the fact that to make cigars alone
required 2117,292 pounds of leaf every
week. AS the consumption is increas-
ing, leaf men need have little fear that
their goods will not be needed. journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET,

EDGERToN, WIS.,, JAN. 81, 1901.
The business of moving the 1901 crop
in the southern growing sections is pret-
ty we'll tied up at the present writing
Some riding is being done in many local
tiles but the amount of trading effected
is decreasing. The growers are not dis
posed as yet to grant much concession
in price, while on the other hand the
buyers are unwilling to pay the figures
demanded. So long as these conditions
remain there is little hope of any general
movement. A few sales only at about
former quotations have come to notice.
The market for old leaf is uneventful
few transactions among local dealers
have taken place, but the bulk of busi-
ness is confined to small lots to manu-
facturers. j. Friedman & Co. of Chica-
go, have added to their already large
holding of 1900 by the recent purchase
of 30Ocs from Mcintosh Bros. E. G.
Hopkins sold 1O0cs lot of '99 to Phil
adelphia firm this week.
An enthusiastic meeting of the tobac-
co growers and dealers of the state was
held at Madison on Friday, when reso-
lutions were adopted placing the indus
try squarely upon record as opposed to
any tariff changes and the protest for
warded to Washington. A permanent
state association was also effected put
ting Wisconsin in line with the other
cigar leaf growing states.
The shipments out of storage in this
market reach total of | | car loads, 525
cases from this station to all points for
the week past. 600cs of cigar leaf were
exported from New York since last re-
port.

The "Belle of New York" Company

That perennial success, "The Belle OF
New York. which comes to GAINESVILLE
Tuesday, Feb IL, needs no introduction
to local theater goers. Those who have
already seen this gorgeous gayety will
welcome its coming and will be delighted
to have another opportunity of hearing
such tuneful numbers as "Follow On"
"When We We're Married" "In Far
Cohoes, wine, Women and Song" and
the other popular musical numbers, all
of which were hummed and sung here
long after the Belle" had departed last
season. Another important feature of
the announcement is the fact that all
the old favorites will be seen in their re-
spective parts. Mr.. e. j. Connolly will
again play the elder Bronson who comes
to New York at the head of his Anti
Cigarette Society Mr.. Connolly has
never had an equal in this part and his
refined humor is well remembered.

MIAM1sBURG, O., Jan. %, 1902.

Light deliveries of 1900 thinner and
seedleaf are still in evidence az prices
previously quoted, and frequent ship
ments of finished goods from local ware
houses are noticed.
Contracting for the new (l9O1l crop of
thinner at 10c through by several con
Germs is still earnestly persisted in. One
buyer is reported to have cracked the
Sabbath in his eagerness.
When a neighboring young packer
several weeks ago started twenty buyers
to contracting the new Simmer, many
older and more conservative members of
the trade intimated that the venture
would probably prove another wild
goose chase but as time passes, and the
buyers do not seem to have encountered
any serious obstacles while booking crops
right and left, the aforesaid conserva-
tives are reported to be scratching their
heads and wondering where they are at,

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

There are a few sales of tobacco oc-
curing in some Of our towns and at
ridiculously low prices. It seems as
though the small growers were demented
to sell their crops as they have done. 1t
looks AS though the packers were band
ed together to cut Gown the figures for
which they bargained for the crops in
the field last fall. They ignore to large
extent their previous bargains. The re-
suit is that general discomfort per-
vades the whole tobacco-growing com
munity, and many men who have been
growing tobacco quite extensively are
now intending to turn their attention to
growing onions, and already land has
been bought for the erection of cold
storage facilities near the stations on the
railways. 1t may be good policy for the
packers to pursue the course they have,
but we fail to see it.
Very many of our best growers are as
sorting their crops and will pack them.
Others who have no facilities for doing
the work properly are having it done.

LANCASTER NEW ERA, Jan. 81, 1902.

The home market is agitated at this
present writing, but it is not about sales
and prices, for wonder, but over the
tariff on imported tobacco and cigars. A
committee consisting of Capt. J. r.
Bricker, Morris Rosenthal and James D.
Law was appointed to go to Washington.
The sales of new tobacco continue.
The good weather and roads have no
doubt had something to do with this.
While it cannot be said that there is or
has been a general buying movement,
the fact remains that good deal of to-
bacco has been purchased, and some To-
calities announce the crop with them is
pretty we'll sold out. In other places,
however, but little has been sold Mean
while, prices remain pretty steady at
from 7 to cents.

The Path Followed by ocean Gables

From Lippinc0tts Magazine.
There seems to be no logical reason why
cables cannot be laid across any section of
the oceans of the world, no matter how great
the depth. Some portions of the Atlantic
cables are over three miles below the surface,
and this is not necessarily the extreme depth,
for the cable may, and probably does, pass
from the top of one submarine hill to another
without dropping materially into the deep
valleys between. The greatest known depth
of the sea is 40, 236 feet, or seven and three
fifths miles, found in the South Atlantic about
midway between the Island of Tristan d. Acun-
ha aad the mouth of the Rio de la Plata.
Soundings have been made to the depth OF
27 4S0 feet in the North Atlantic, south OF
Newfoundland, and about 81, 600 feet, or near
ly six and half miles, is reported south OF
the Bermudas. Even such enormous depths
as these need not hinder cable laying, so far
as the theory is concerned, but in practice, for
reasons of economy in maintenance and 9TH
erwise. it is found best to take advantage OF
favoring conditions in the oceans bed. To
illustrate, all of the cables between the United
States and Europe run mp along our coast
until they reach the neighborhood of New
foundland before starting across to their des-
stinations in Ireland or France. The reason
for this is found in the range of submarine
table lands, forming an ideal cable bed, which
lies between the three latter counties. In past
years immense portions of this submerged ter
ritory have been plotted out and mapped by
various governmental and private expedi-
tons and this knowledge is constantly being
added to. 1t becomes particularly valuable in
economic cable laying. Except in extreme
cases, the electrical conductor is not dropped
overheard hap hazard. On the contrary, the
submarine mountains, valleys and plains over
| which it is to take its sinuous course are ac
curateIy selected beforehand, and their gen.
eral confguration, soil covering, il any, and
other pec1liarities properly taken into consid
Grafton. Special varieties of cable are manu-
| tactured to meet certain conditions known to
exist where they are to go. Like men in all
trades. the cable layers must adhere closely 4
the specifications given them in starting il
| order to perform the right kind of work.
The steamship, therefore, while golnt
ahead and paying out the cable over the sterr
pulley, is under the guidance of skilled hands
following certain path, which has been point
ed out to her by sages on the mainland as be
ing the best adapted for the comfort and eas'
| of the electrical conductor she is depositing.
