OYER At THE MINES.
Harry Henry Writes from Six
Mile Run,

AS it has been sometime since
l saw many of my friends in Old
Fulton, l will give my best wishes
to all by a short sketch of my
life here.
1t is little more than two
years since ] left Fulton and came
to Six Mile Run, Pa, which is a
small borough of about 1000 in
habitants and very busy little
town. There are Z large stores,
and several small ones, 8 large
halls, 2 churches, 2 meat markets
3 hotels, restaurants, barber shops
and everything up-to-date. House
rent is from s. to $40 per month,
and it is almost impossible to get
one at any price. There have
been at least 30 houses built this
fall-some of which are double;
also, there were 9 school houses
one 6-rooms and the other A.
room--which cost, $4,000. These
houses are brick cased.
Teachers are paid from $40 to
$50 a month and trouble getting
them at that price.
This is mining town. Two
years ago, there were only 9
mines in operation; now there are
90. Coal is scarce and high in
price. The banks are worked
night and day and are shipping
daily fifty and sixty 60,000-lb., r.
r. cars, the coal worth at least So
ton.
Men who want to work will
find no trouble in securing it
here; and, in regard to wages, a
man who has a go I'd room can easl-
ly make "a to So in eight hours.
Day work runs from $l.76 to 81.
rs.
Fulton county people are well
represented here, there being
many from Clear Ridge, Water
fall and other places. especially
in the north end of the county.
We have Hon. David Black as
Mine Superintendent. He don't
forget a Fulton county boy, when
employment is sought.
He and | are about the only
Democrats here, so we have lots
of work TO do to keep our side
moving.
Farmers who have produce for
sale can find good market here.
Eggs are worth 25 cents; butter
%; pork Sc; corn 75c a .bushel
hay, $17 to $40; potatoes, 60; ap
pies, 65 to 75; rough umber, $16;
siding and flooring, $22-these
are merchants cash prices.
This town is located on branch
of the Fl. & B. II. h. r., two miles
east of Riddlesburg. Defiance is
between this and Riddlesburg,
and it is another lively town with
two hotels and two stores.
Broadtop is in prosperous
condition and l hope may con
tinue so to be. Town lots are
selling from $50 to $3.50 apiece
and are we'll elevated.
The above is only a few brie1
items, and my time is limited, 81
| cannot say any more this time
but wish you all a Merry Christ
mas and a Happy New Year.

Now having reached the be-
gin ling of new year cwish to
give hearty greeting to the pa

continue to support the principles
of the party of the people and

active sympathy of it's readers in
the course which it has mapped
out. We gve hearty thanks to
all those who have stood by the
BANNER so.loyally for the year
] z, o ID for the year 1908 we be-
speak a continuation Of the kindly
patronage received in the past and
nope to form many acquaintances
through the columns of the BAN
NER by largely increasing its
presen: circulation and to make
better record for volume of busi-
ness than the office has ever made
before. We wish for every reader
of the BANNER year of great
prosperity and happiness.

Tie st. Mary Building Association
of Patterson.

We have received during the
past week many inquiries from
members as to what changes are
under contemplation by the pres
ent Board of Directors. Some
have heard that we propose to
change it into a bank and other
rumors. None of these have hit
the mark.
The change we are primarily
considering is the acquisition Of a
permanent home. We are no
longer in our infant robes and like
every full grown adult we want a
home of our own. Our safe is not
burglar proof. This is a minor
consideration however as we de-
posit our money as fast as We get
it in bank and will continue to do
SO. Our safe however is too small
for our books and papers and is
not fire proof. This is a very Sc
rious matter. Ii a fire should oc-
cur, we would be in a hopeless
tangle, and the duplication of our
books would be very hard mat
ter and for the most part guess
work. We need large fire proof
vault.
A permanent location is as ne
cessary to a corporation as it is to
an Individual. We preach to
others that that they should build
their homes and pay rent to them
selves. 1t is about time for us to
follow our own advice, and we are
going to do it.
AS to doing a banking business,
such thought has never occurred
to us. We are a Building Asso-
citation and propose to remain one.
A building association does busi-.
ness with only its own members
and gives preference to those
who want to build homes
or to remove mortgages from
homes. Its plan c"Itemplates a
loan for large number of years
and the repayment of principal
and interest in monthly INSTALL
ments.
Banks lend money to anybody
with security and prefer short
time paper. Building Associa-
lions as we'll as Banks are needed
in every Parish as each has its
own field of action.
Another thing we intend to dou-
bic our membership during the
year and do twice the bus
mess that we have been doing in
the past. We want each and
every member to help US.

Gradually Coming.

The Republican party gradually
is coming to the Democratic con-
tention that we should have free
trade with the recently acquired
island possessions that came to
US as a heritage of the war with
Spain. Two years ago they pass
ed bill that gave the Philippines
a reduction of twenty-five per
cent. from the rates of the Dim
gley tariff bill on all goods i'm
ported from this country. 1t was
the Democratic position then that
if those islands were a part OF
the country, although they could
not be held constitutionally as a
province, they should be given
the same privileges of trade that
we enjoyed here between the
States, and that the real secret of
the greatness of this country was
on account of free an untramelled
trade between the States. The
Democratic position has not
changed. The Republican posi-
ton has changed. That party is
essentially party of opportun-
lists. 1t shifts with the wind of
public clamor and opinion. 1t has
no fixed principles. It has poll
cies only.
The Republican majority of the
House committee on Ways and
Means has brought in bill to re-
duce the tariff on all imports with
the Philippines seventy-five per
cent. from the rates imposed by
the Dingley tariff bill, instead of
twenty-five per cent. which is the
present law passed by themselves
two years ago. They now think
those islands would be benefited
by this reduction. If twenty-five
per cent. was good for them why
not seventy-1ive per cent? If that
is good thing why not absolute
free trade as contended by the
Democrats?
The Democrats will make the
fight for free trade with those
islands and will put the Republic
cans on record and there will be
much of good reading on the tariff
question which will be the bone
Of contention in the next great
battle OF the people in 1904.
We hope that the eyes of the
good people will have been opened
by that time and that they will
know their own interests when
they go to the polls. Hypocrisy
cannot triumph always.

William w. johnson, a coal
black negro, from Madison par
ish, has been taken into the folds
of the lily white faction of the
Republican faction, by being ap-
pointed Deputy Clerk of Internal
Revenue, in New Orleans, to re-
place Mr.. Earhart, a white man,
who was asked to resign by Mr..
Howell, the newly appointed Com
missiones OF Internal Revenue
who, it is said, simply obeyed the
dictateseof the executive commit
tee Of the lily whites. This move
las caused a stir of Indignation
throughout the State as everyone
thought that this new faction Of
thesRepublican party would make
good their boast that they would
set up a clean, respectable Repub-
lican party in Louisiana and that
the black man would have no
representation in their councils.
But 1t seems that higher power
at Washington has ordered that
this should not be and the negro
must be given recognition, be-
cause the lily whites have not
proven themselves SO clean as at
first claimed, as shown by recent
charges brought up against some
members of the faction, and it
would not do to loose sight of the
sblack brother" in the event that
the lily white banner goes down
in defeat MIR. Howell it is said
protested strongly against having
foisted in his Office one of the
BLACKLIST mokes in the State. This
action of the committee has lost
the Republican many supporters
for no white man can stand by
and see negroes appointed to Of
dee without protesting.
