Surprise of the Steel Trust.

The Iron Age, which has made a
thorough investigation of the econo-
mics affected by the United States
Steel Corporation, often called the bill
lion-dollar trust, as regards product
ion, comes to the conclusion that in a
thoroughly organized consolidation
the reduction of manufacturing cost
is so great as to be well-nigh revOlu-
tionary. The basis of the savings is
found in uniform system of account
ing which makes comparisons posi-
BILE. One organization through
which costs are studied conistS of COM
mittees constituted of the most capa-
BILE officers i'm the different depart
ments of the corporations service,
the blast furnace, the beSsemer, the
open hearth, the rod mill, the fuel,
the transportation and other func-
tions. Representing all of these
branches are the ableSt men i'm them.
The comparison of the cost Is made,
and the most favorable is made the
the standard. When the cost of any
material made at any mill is above
the standard its workings are criti-
cally examined and the causes which
enable one plant to produce cheaper
than another are carefully studied.
Thus all profit by experience. This
system puts every mill manager on
his mettle TO do his best. The Iron
Age makes the remarkable statement
that in one department the CONSOLE
dation has lowered the cost of pro-
duction SO, 900, 600 year on the pres
ent output.
This system furnishes an explana-
ton of the policy of the steel corpor-
alton in opposing the advance in pri-
ces which the remarkable demand for
iron and steel would warrant
At present prices the steel cor
poration has shown capacity to make
satisfactc y earnings, meet fixed
charges and pay unexpected dividends
on its common stock. 1t is said that
for concerns producing less proftably
than the billion-dOllar trust the pres
emf average of prices does not afford
adequate provision for the shrinkage
of prices which must come sooner or
later. 1t is not to be assumed that
worldwide benevolence is the motive
which animateS the steel corporation
in its holding down prices, but that
its purpose is to embarass competitors,
thus offering little inducement to
capital to build new plants.
The billion-dollar steel trust has,
however, surprised the public and at
the same time COMPOUNDED it's pro-
phetic foes 1t has not advance1lthe
prices of iron and steel when the con-
ditions of the market would warrant
it. but has held them down. 1t has
set about to make remarkably large
dividends by the exercise of the ut
most economy in production. 1t has
told the world of It's business the past
six months. 1t is wonderful story,
out its triumph has been attained by
refusal to advance prices because of
great economies and immense output
1t has not attempted monopoly, but
by holding prices down 1t has discour-
aged investment in new plants.-In-
dianapolis Journal.

If all tax payers would pay as mnch
attention ITO municipal elections as
they do TO things which should con-
Germ them great deal less, all cities
would have lower taxes and bet
ter government. The best men in
both parties should always be selected
as candidates for councilmen and other
municipal positions, and the best of
these should be elected.

FIGURING Mill Wrecked.

The Touring mill of Brudi & Co.,
at TT. Wayne was wrecked Thursday
by the explosion of gas engine. j.
G.. Brudi, the manager, went to assist
Chas. Gerken, the engineer, to start
the engiue. While the men were
working on it the engine exploded
with terrific force. Pieces OF casting
were blown through the mill in all d.
rectlons. Gerken was struck in the
abdomen and the arm and leg. He
has serious internal injuries and may
die. Brudi was badly burned but es-
capped the flying pieces of iron. The
back end of the mill was blown out.

Cannot Stop Boer War.

How very inconsistent are the
ardent Boer sympathizers who insist
that Col, Roosevelt in his capacity of
President of the United States could
stop the war in South Africa if he
would. Roosevelt is a kinsman by
blood of the Transyaal fighters and no
doubt his personal sympathy for their
cause is as strong as that of anybody
in this country, but when it come to
taking official action in the case an
other question is involved.
The United States like all other ma
lions has resolved to stand neutral in
this trouble between the Beers and
England, as they did when America
was having disturbance with Spain a
few years ago. 1t would be violating
that most sacred of obligations, an
international agreement, should this
country take sides with the Beers
now. If there was any honorable way
to help the struggling Dutch of South
Africa to maintain their independence
there is little doubt but President
Roosevelt would strain every point to
do SO and give what aid and comfort
he could in battling with their enemy,
Great Britain. But how can it be
done .honorably?
Those who criticise the President
for not acting in the matter are de.
cIdedly unjust. None Of them would
dare do it were they in his place, fol
if such a step were taken compiled,
lions would arise that could not help
plunglng this country into bloody wal
with England and possibly this might
extend so as to involve all the coun-
tries of the globe. South Bend Trib.

its time schedule was carried out and
in its freedom from accident or delay
at an inclement and stormy season of

TO ORGANIZE A LYCEUM.
Mr.. Mooney of the Southern Bureau
Here for That Purpose.

Mr.. Mooney of the Southern Bureau
Here for That Purpose.
Mr.. C. H. Mooney, manager of the
Southeastern department of the South
ern Lyceum Bureau, is in Savannah to
organize a lyceum course of entertain
ments. The field is open for lyceum.
The Y. M. C. A. and Y. M. H. A.,
both of which have maintained for
several years lecture courses, and the
Savannah Lyceum, which tried it for
two seasons, are out of the way.
Mr.. Mooney proposes to organize a
lyceum to give five entertainments dur
ing the winter-the subscription price
for the full course to be
IS for two tickets. The Atlanta
course includes twelve entertainments,
Augustus eight and Macons eight.
Mr.. Mooney believes, however, that
five first-class entertainments for the
first season in Savannah is about the
right number. The list will probably
include Gen. John B. Gordon, the Chi
cago Glee Club, DR.. D. F. Fox, who
was booked for the Y NJ. H. A.
course, and two others to be selected.
Mr. Mooney will undertake the or
ganization of the lyceum at once, with
a view to giving Savannah the best
talent the bureau has at it's command.

present deed, which was executed on
Jan. 2, of the current year, adds to the
security the lines acquired by the Sea-
board since the original deed was
given.
In addition to the railway lines in
themselves, the deed covers all the
locomotives, tenders, cars and other

Al McMurray, manager of Tommy

maker of the Savannah Athletic Club,
has written a friend in this city that
Feltz is in good shape again, that his
dates in Boston for the next three
weeks have been cancelled, and that he
will sail for Savannah, June 3, and be
prepared to enter bout June 10. Feltz
viii be accompanied by McMurray and
also lack Bennett, who is slated to
meet owen Zeigler, in this city, June II.
McMurray says further that Bennett
and Sullivan recently put up one of the
fastest bouts ever seen in Boston, and
that they are matched, for another one
at little later date. Sullivan, he con-
tinues. is anxious for "go" at either
Zeigler or Bennett before a Savannah
house. If this match is arranged, and
probably it will be, it is likely to be
fast one, for McMurray says Sullivan
lis fast two-handed boy, who doesn't
drink or smoke, and is therefore in
first-class condition"
Feltz, the writer says, is the whole
thing" in Boston, and can draw a big
ger crowd than any boxer brought obt
there in recent years. Feltz has
match with Danny Dougherty to take
place in Reading on a date yet to be
liked.

FOR THE NEGRO RACE.
Rev. w. w. Lucas Tells About Negro
Young Peoples Conference.

1OunE PeOpte
A mass meeting was held at St. Phil
lips Monumental Church last night in
the interest of THE Negroes Young
Peoples Conference" to be held in At
lanta, Aug. to II. Rev. F. r. Sims
acted as chairman and in his opening
remarks stated the purpose of the
meeting. Rev. T. N. NJ. Smith of, Way
cross led in prayer. Rev. F. r. Sims
introduced Rev w. w Lucas, field sec
rotary of the movement. In his open
ing remarks Rev. Lucas said he had
spoken every night for the last thirty
five days, covering territory from IN
diana to Florida. There viii be over
10000 delegates, he said, and 400 of the
foremost speakers of the race will be
on programme. The race question now
confronts every member of the negrol
race, and the time has arrived, he SAID.
when the negro must put stop 10 I'M
moral and criminal conduct OF some of
the members of the race. The time
has come when the intelligent must
take the masses and say come and go
we must strike dividing line, and let
the white people know that all coons
don't look and act alike.
For the first time since the war, said
Rev. Lucas, all denominations Will
meet together. Bishop Gaines of the
A. NJ. e. Church, DIR. Alexander of the
Baptist, Bishop r. 5. Williams of the
c. M. e. Church, Rev. H. H. Proctor
of the Congregational, and in fact all
denominations are recognized on the
board of managers.
Rev. Lucas said that nineteen out OF
twenty of all white societies help the
white brother to live right and better
his conditions. Nineteen out of TWEEN
ty societies among the colored people
are bury me when l am dead socie-
ties"
"The colored man." said Rev. Lucas,
"dwells too much on heaven.
Let him live right and he certainly will
be alright when the death angel
comes"
Get you a home," said Rev. Lucas,
land when YOU get ready to die you
can stretch out and die like a man,
leaving a home for your wife and chill
dren. The negro eats to much. Some
families in Atlanta work hard all the
week and when Saturday night comes
buy grub for the week. Monday morn
ing comes and there is not a speck
Of lard, dust of flour or anything left
The negro race must stop it's foolish
ness. The negro conference to be held in
Atlanta will discuss all of these ques-

though unintentionally. HE helped
me wonderfully in my fight" said Mr..
Osborne, land as long as he is on the
other side and talks he will continue to
help me and to be my friend. l really
should give him a S. hat each Christ
mas for what he does for me in these
political campaigns. He went to At
lanta about week ago, did Anton, and
he was found by a newspaper reporter.
Then Anton talked and had things put
down in print. He was interviewed
and with remarkable sagacity, he an
nounced that there is no doubt of the
fact, to use his own language, that Col.
Pleasant A. Stovall is certain to be
member of the next General Assembly
from Chatham. Anton knew that so
long as week ago, and said it to a
reporter. He spoke at the Union Club
meeting last night
Mr.. Osborne had been told that one
of the prominent speakers of the night
before had a week ago been asking
every personal friend to vote against
Mr.. Mcmillan. Mr.. Osborne said that
the handwriting appeared on the wall,
and that the question of majority is
the only matter to be determined.
Col. RusseIIs Appeal.
Col. Warning Russell answered calls
from the audience and told of what
he has done during his service of
seventeen years as county treasurer
and of theS passing of $40, 900, 900 of
public money through his hands with
out the transportation of a single
cent. He declared that in his old age
he needs the office. He said that his
opponent is a good and pious citizen
and that he has nothing to say against
him. Col. Russell spoke of his faith
fulness to his party and asked those
present to vote a straight ticket, but
that if they scratched to scratch him.
Mr.. Pleasant A. Stovall followed Col.
Russell and made a happy and con-
servative address. He received an
ovation.
Mr.. Stovall said that their contest
seemed to be a struggle between men
who hold the offices and men who are
seeking them. He related instances
to show that the people looked upon
II this way. There We're no great moral
issues involved in the fight. People
were using the standard of Thomas
Jefferson and applying it to candi-
dates-"Capacity and Character"
He alluded to the reports indus
triously circulated that the Citizens
Club candidates for the legislative
were committed to the bill to place the
appointment Ol all CITY oIlcerS III lhe
hands of the mayor. No such meas
ure is thought of. The Mayor had de-
