to speak. discloses the fact that. includ- ing men. women and minors. nearly 3D. O0o,0O persons are daily at work in it. less the number of those temporarily on strike. Of this grand total 15.000 900 only. considerably less than one-half are em- ployed in the industries that are sub ject to strikes and lockouts.
 Here then is the gratifying fact that 100000 workers in these United States always keep working. Included in this great standing army of industrious people who never quit their jobs are the farm CTS and their help. about 100000 strong composing nearly one-half of the adult labor of the country. have never gone on strike; the idea has never even been mooted among them.
 Besides our farmers there are over L. 000, 000 Americans classified as professional workers-actors authors, artists, clergy men. lawyers and doctors. none of whom ever strike. Then there are about 400.0 teachers in the country. two-thirds of them women. who work year in and year out in strikeless continuity. Next come onr domestic and personal and public ser wants. about 500o.000 of them, including our soldiers and sailors: they also belong to the non-striking majority.
 It is strictly to the workers in manu- featuring and mechanical industries and in trade and transportation, aggregating a grand total of l5,00O.O00 persons, that strikes and lock-outs are confined. But from this total many further deductions must be made. because it includes the 600,0oo clerks and bookkee pers. the 60000 commercial travellers, the 200,000 real eS- tate and commission agents the 800 OO0 wholesale and retail merchants. the 15OO0 stenographers and the 8 GOO bankers and brokers- all of whom are outside tho strike zone. Returns covering a long pe- riod of years show that the total num- Der of persons who go on strike or are locked out averages 314000 annually. Tn short, nearly two-thirds of all the work ing people of the country are steady, continuous workers. who saw wood and say nothing" and of the other one-third only small fraction stops working at any one time.

PLAN OF NEW BUILDING
ADDITION TO HOME OF MONT
 GoMERY PoSToFFICE.
Congressman Wiley Talks of Tenta. tive Designs Considered by
 Architect-Court Room to
 Be in Extension. ~

When the extension to the Montgomery Federal building is added, early next year, Montgomery will have one of the
 finest public buildings in the State
 Col. A. A. Wiley, Congressman from the Second District, who was instrumental in securing a $75,00O appropriation for the extension to the government building, said yesterday that while he knew only generally what the plans of the super vising architect for the new extension are still he felt safe in saving that Mont gomcry will in less than d years time have public building of which it's Citi- Zens may well be proud. Colonel Wiley said that before the adjournment of Con gress he had several talks with the su- pervising architect and secured q general idea of the work
 The cX tension to the old building will run back toward Washington Street some distance and will form right angle with the present building. Half of this eNtcn- sion will be used for postoftice purposes and will, with the present building, make an office adequate to handle the largeN increasing postal business. The other half of the lower floor of the extension will he used for court purposes. The Judge < chamber and library and the office ol the clerk of the court will occupy the front part If the second half and tn court room will occupy the part nearest Washington Street
 The second floor of tho extension will be probably occupied by the offices of the Receiver of Public Moneys, the Col lector of Internal Revenue and the United States Marshal
 Tho second and third floors of the old building will be occupied by the grand and petit iuries. the United States Cnm- missioners and the Weather Bureau. Rooms will be reserved for the Judges of the United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals in case Montgomery gets one of them
 Colonel Wiley said that these plans were not definite and were on'y the out line which the supervising architect had established as a working hasIs H added that at the next session of Congress he would make determined effort to secure

FINAL WEEK BEGINS
MONTGOMERY CAMPAIGN WILL
 CLOSE AGGRESSIVELY.
Messrs. Tanner and Kefiin Speak To- morrow Night for Jelks-Gen. Harrison Announced to Speak
 For Johnston.

The final week of the gubernatorial campaign in Montgomery County. which begins tomorrow. will be lively with both sides working hard. Both sides have an.
 nounced speakings during this week, and
 1t is probable that other speakers will
 be heard in addition to the three speak
 CTS already announced.
 For Governor Jelks, Hon II Tom
 Hei1in of Lafayette, and Hon James L.. Tanner of Birmingham, will address the voters of Montgomery Monday night at
 the Court House
 Chairman Bibb Graves. of the John ston Campaign Committee, announced yesterday that Gen. George P Harrison of Opelika. would speak Friday night at McDonald's Theatre in the interest of ex-Governor Johnston. General Harrison is at the present at Tate Spring For his health. where he has been for several days.
 To both meetings special invitations have been extended the ladies. At the Court House speaking tomorrow night for Governor Jelks a number of ladies will attend. party having been already made up for that occasion. The seating capacity of the Court House has been increased and the room will be kept cool and comfortable by electric fans.
 Messrs. Hetlin and Tanner are two of the happest speakers on the stump in Alabama. Both are entertainers of un- usual ability and it can be safely pre- dicted that there will be no dull or bor- ing periods in the two speeches. Roth gentlemen are candidates for Secretary of State and both are avOwed friends of Governor Jelks.
 The campaign headquarters of both the Jelks and the Johnston forces were quiet but busy yesterday Both committees have been industriously at work, but neither had any information to give out
 The air of confidence which has char | aCterized the Jelks Committee through | out the campaign was manifest yester- day The campaign workers saw no req l son to modify their claim of Montgom- | cry County for the Governor hv large | ma jority. It was said at the Jeks head | quarters last night that the returns on August 25 would show that the claim of 1,5O0 majority in this county was if | anything, too mild.
 The Johnston men had no statement | to make. They are, however. claiming | the county for the cx-Governor by a | small majority The Johnston Campaign | Committee has not been announced, but 1 the committee has been selected and il | has held meetings nightly. The JohH- ston men have been quiet almost to se- rretiveness but they have been active The plan of the Johnston men has been to secure a knowledge of the situation and to make a final determined effort in ! he closing week. In keeping with this plan is the announcement of the speak ng of General Harrison Friday night.

Scholarships in the Georgia School
 of TechnnlopY

There have been established at the Georgia School of Technology three schol- arships by the late Aaron French of Pittsburg. Pa, which amounts to loan to the students enjoying them and yet gives the student the benefit of linn ited amount of money during his four years course in the institution. The con- ditions are IS follows
 1. The applicant must be at least 16 years of age.
 ?. No one Is eligible whose family pays taxes on more than $3,0O0 worth of prop erty.
 3. Scholarships are to be awarded by competitive examinations in the follow ing subjects:
 Algebra, through quadratics and radi- calls.
 Geometry. through Plane.
 English including grammatical con- struction of sentences. composition or let ter showing proficiency in spelling, pune tuation and division into paragraphs and parsing.
 4. The winner of the scholarship is to be paid the sum of sl25 per annum for four years. giving his notes for small amounts. payable after graduation with out interest.
 It will be seen that this plan enables the scholarship to be self-perpetuating, and 1t will not lapse at any time unless the beneficiary or his family should be- come unable to meet the obligations. As the successful applicant Is chosen by competition his successful accomplish ment of the course of study may be con- sidered an assured fact.
 The first scholarship was won in the fall of 1898. and the beneficiary, MT. F.. w. Klein. of Atlanta, has just gradu- ated with credit to himself and the in stitution. His notes for money drawn cut in 1898 are beginning to mature, and their payment will offer another young man the scholarship this fall. new scholarship will also be contested for Sep tember A under the same conditions The competition is limited to no State or section of the country, and deserving young men who have become rather pro ficient in the elementary subjects named are given two opportunities, which may result in securing high grade technical education in the leading technical school of the Southern States. adv.

Taylor was dragged short distance. face downward. while holding to the reins.
 Tn describing the accident, MT. Taylor said last night:
 "I stopped al the railroad track as I saw switch engine approaching. When it had passed l started across the track As I reached the top of the track the car struck the wagon. It came upon me witho ut the least warning. The motor man did not ring his bell and I was not warned of the approaching car. When II TUCK Ine wagon IilS GIT was SOlnS fully six miles an hour.
 ''The impact of the car did not turn the wagon over, but it threw 1t violently of the track, breaking three spokes in one of the wheels and badly "dishing" another wheel I was thrown heavily to the ground, but partly saved myself from the effect of the fall by catching at the horse as I fell forward from the wagon"
 The name of the motorman and conduc- ,at I. ascertained The office of the street rail way company was closed and transfer men at Court Square said they had not heard of the accident.

an additional appropriation of S50000 for the building. In case this is secured the architect contemplates changing the heat ing apparatus the windows, making them highly ornamental and putting a new roof on the building. which will add greatly to the appearance of the structure.
 In reference to the time when the work on the building would commence, Colonel Wiley said the drawings would be for warded to q committe of the Cabinet for formal approval and not until then would bids be advertised for.
 This will probably consume two. or three months and the work will hardly begin hefore Christmas.

S ,ires and Steep

Spires and steeples give character In q
one who approaches oxford Tor the first
time the countless array OF beautiful
towers and domes Is eloquent OF the his
tory, the life and aims Of the fair city
on the Thames. Poets have sung OF the
sweet city with her dreaming spires.
and the least poetical of mankind could
hardly remain insensible TO her charms.
But the spires and steeples OF no inland
town can be seen to such effect as those
of city which is reached by water. No
traveller who has approached Venice from
the Adriatic, or Stockholm by the beauti-
ful broad waterway which leads from
the Baltic to Lake Malar. can ever forget
the magical effect of dome and cam
panile. steeple and sky-pointing spire,
first dimly seen on the waterline far
ahead, then slowly rising on the horizon
till the entire irregular skyline is revealed
and finally appearing as the crown of the
whole clustered city as 1t emerges from
the waters.
Another example of "a characteristic
skyline, though OF differelt sort from
that of oxford, or of Venice, or of Stock
holm, Is intimately connected with a his
toric moment I'm Napoleon's dramatic ca
reer. Ii was on the afternoon of Sep
tember IL, 1912. that the invader of Russia
approached the goal of his efforts, the
city of Moscow. From slight eminence
the emperor ana the advanced guard or
his army looked upon the distant city
which "smouldered and glittered i'm the
plain" Towers and domes of design un-
familiar to western eyes. adorned with
golden balls and rooted with FURNISHED
copper, reflected the light of the sun.
Moscow with the golden cupolas." as
the Russians call IL, lay at the conquer
or's feet. There. at last, Is the famous
city," he said, as he gaZed upon the
scene, and added, as he thought of the
long and arduous campaign, with its
many bloody struggles. which had at last
brought him there. crossed his mind
1T was high time" Every schoolboy
knows how soon the fair picture was
ruined and devastated, how spires and
gilded cupoas were involved in one COM
mon ruin.
Spires and steeples have played no un-
important part in the long drama of his
tory. both political and social. 1t was
from the steeples of the Paris of little
more than century ago that the tocsin
so often gave the signal for deeds OF blood
and shame. The 'steepes with their
metal storm voice" as Carlyle phrases IL,
heralded and doomed out the signal for
every move in the great game of the Rev
olutfon. Globe.
