 Editor Womans Departrn- F' In vour columns are presented so many issues of vital import to sociology that 1t is a fore gore conclusion that space and welcome await every purposeful word sent to you.
 Being a member of that committee of the Mothers Union, which Is pledged to cooperate with the committee on child labor, am mailing you campaign docu- ment of this ommittee-forceful elo- quent unanswerable, written by a man with a heart of fire, with righteous rage against the barbarity of the new slavery whose curse is with us and whose profits are with those near himself White Slavery in the South" appeared in the recent number of the Philistine, and is Ebert Hubbard's most notable utter snce since he caught the ear of the busi- ness world with his Message to Garcia" which crystalzed the tactics of the cap tains of industry.
 This article is a cry from the children Of Alabama voiced by an inspired inter- preter. It will strike to a glow the spark of humanity In every leaders breast. Its truths, when known, will rouse the people of Alabama to wipe ort cotton mill slavery In our midst. To give space to these burning words is to reach the mother-heart which nature and revelation unite to say cannot for get the child. l am faithfully yours,
 KATE H. MORRISSETTE. Montgomery, June 21, 1892.
 Under the head of White Slavery in the South,' Ebert Hubbard the brilliant of The philiotina lows. MT. Hubbards home is at East Aurora. New York. He speaks from per sonal observation.
 Next to Massachusetts, South Caro- lima manufactures more cotton cloth than any other state in the Union. The cotton mills of South Carolina are most ly owned by New England capital.
 In many instances the machinery of cotton mills has been moved entire from Massachusetts to South Carolina. The move was made for the ostensible purpose of being near the raw product; but the actual reason Is, that in South Carolina there is no law regulating child labor. Heartless cupidity has joined hands with brutal ignorance, and the result Is child labor of so terrible a type that African slavery was paradise compared with it
 Many of the negro slaves lived to good old age, and they got a hearty en- joyment from life. The infant factory slaves of South Carolina can rarely de- Yelop into men and women. There are no mortality statistics; the mill owners baffle all attempts of the outside public to get at the facts but my opinion is. Il at in many mills death sets the lit tie prisoner free inside of four years. Be- ycnd that he can hardly hope to live, and this opinion is derived from careful observation and interviews with sever al skilled and experienced physicians who practice in the vicinity of the mills.
 Boys and girls from the age of six years and upwards are employed. They usually work from six o'clock in the morning until seven at night. For four months of the year, they go to work be- fore daylight and they work until after dark.

DELICIOUS LUNCHES
 AT WOMAN'S EXCHANGE.

The little cafe at the Woman's Ex- change is unusually popular these sum- mer days. Delicious lunches are served every day, the exchange making a special ty of summer delicacies in the way of spring chicken. The menu includes just the things that are most tempting in hot weather, and the cafe, always attractive, was never more inviting than these sum- mer days. There is quiet charm about 1t that Is positively fast mating and cer- tainly an air of distinctive elegance.

THE PASSING OF THE
 HISTORIC SHORTER HOME
BY ANNIE KENpRIck WALKER.

Among the first of the wealthy coterie to built private residences on the hill were the sons of General Shorter, the late Governor John Gill Shorter. the late Congressman Eli S. Shorter, Sr., their residences being very near the home of their brother. the late Major Shorter. They were magnificent houses and 1t is a strange and sad coincidence that fire has, destroyed the three Shorter homes. The private residence of Congressman Shorter was the first to be burned and years ago the home of the late Governor Shorter was destroyed. It was a perfect example of the colonial mansion. Nei- ther of these residences were rebuilt
 The house which has been used by Gov ernor Jelks as his private residence was probably the handsomcst of the three old places. The grounds are magnificent and the approach to the house Is particularly picturesque Broad and beautiful gal leries surrounded the house. and the ex- terior was most imposing. The lower floor included the beautiful old hall from witch opened the drawing rooms. the large dining room and other apartments that were brought into use in entertain ing guests, while the second story in- cluded many guest chambers and the private apartments used by the family.
 Mrs. Shorter and her only son, MT. Henry Shorter. lived in the beautiful old home, and since the death of Major Shorter. Governor Jelks and Mrs. Jelks have made their home with Mrs. Shorter. To those who love romance, it is of in terest to recall that the romance of Gov ernor Jelks and the fair and gifted Alice Shorter began in the historic old home. adn that there n the stately old drawing rooms occurred their wedding, an event of great beauty and brilliancy. There, too. has grown to young womanhood the fair young daughter Of Governor Jclks snd Mrs. Jelks, the lovely Catherine Jelks.
 Governor Jelks soon after his marriage built a residence adjoining the Shorter home, and several years ago he erected a very handsome home nearer the city.
 The passing of the old Shorter home f the passing of a house typical of a fa nous regime; unhappily a regime that | but a memory and that may never again be reproduced. But about the ashes and the crumbling ruins of the old walls cling the happiest of memories, as the scent of the roses clings about the shat tered vase.

The burning of the historic Shorter home In Eufaula Is worthy of more than passing comment While for more than a quarter of a century it has been famous as centre of brilliant and exclusive social life general interest has recently centered about It, as the home of Gov ernor Jelks and Mrs. Jelks. To the hun dreds of prominent people throughout the State who have been entertained there. it will be difficult to picture Eufaula without the superb Shorter residence on the summit of beautiful College Hill. while to Eufaula the passing of the Shor- ter home will be in the sense of per sonal loss
 It was built by Mrs. Jellts. maternal grandmother and before the war the most princcly hospitality was dispersed by this brilliant ante-bellum beauty. whose daughter Addie Kilt married the late Major Henry R. Shorter. the father of Mrs. Jelks
 The home, therefore. while so indelibly linked with the history of the Shorter family came into their possession through Mrs Henry R. Shorter's family. and was not the old Shorter homestead as stated in some or the papers.
 The original homestead or the shorter family was erected on the high bluffs overlooking a magnificent bend in the Chattahooche river. where even today the old family burying ground is pointed out by those recalling a period in Eu- faula's history many decades ago The old brick mansion which was owned by the late General Shorter was torn down probably twenty-five years ago and the materials utilized in the building of the Shorter Opera House.
 During General Shorter's lifetime the fashionable residence section of Eufaula was on the bluff" where many fine old homes looked out upon .ne shining river, upon a view that cannot even to- day be equalled in the south. But the trend of things was later toward the hill" and there fashion and wealth made a new Eufaula- But the historic bluff has ever remained inspira- tion to poet and painter. while the spark ling river below carries gay boating par ties to the gulf as in the days when the picturesque old homes along thes hores wehe the center of fashionable life.

MARRIED

Anton j. Hoffman and Miss Bernard
ino Terhaar were united i'll the holy
bonds of wedlock at the Catholic church
on Wednesday, Jan. 10, 1902, Rev,
Father Parolini officiating. After the
ceremony the happy couple were driven
to the home of the brides father, where
they spent the day in merrymaking
with their many friends. Mr.. Hoffman
gave free dance in Nuxoll's hall in
the evening and an enjoyable time was
spent by all. The bride groom is a
prosperous young farmer living near
Greencreek and his sterling qualities
are known and respected By everyone in
this section. The bride is the accom-
plished daughter of that old pioneer,
Henry Terhaar, and it is no more than
right to say that Mr.. Hoffman could not
have drawn greater prize ii the mat
rimonial lottery. The happy young
couple are two Of our best known people
and everyone of us wish them all the
blessings of happy life.

Gold has been discovered in the dirt

]. L. Rankin, of Hawardin, Iowa, was
in town this week, accompanied by A.
F. Parker, of Grangeville, who was
showing him several tracts OF the fertile
soil of this section. Mr.. Rankin was
highly pleased with all he saw and we
hope in our next issue to chronicle the
fact that he has concluded to invest
here.
Dick Crea, the bartender in the Maze
saloon at Grangevllle, last Saturday
shot three times and instantly killed
Thornas Mcleod in bar room quarrel
over glass Of whiskey. Crea was ar
rested and released on bond of $4,000
and at the preliminary hearing the case
against him was dismissed on motion of
the prosecuting attorney. But Crea
got no further than the door of the court
room when he was re-arrested in the
name of the state ON a charge Of ''mur-
der in the first degree" (the other charge
was manslaughter) and Sheriff Dixon
took him to Mount Idaho, where he
now is in Jail without bonds. Senti-
ment in Grangeyille is divided some
say it was cold blooded murder and
others say it was justifable homicide.
The testimony in the case brought out
the facts that Mcleod had no weapon OF
any sort on his person when he and
Crea quarreled and that he made no
hard attempt to do Crea bodily injury.
In the minds of most people around
here the case looks rather hard for the
slayer, but as we have not yet heard the
full evidence we are willing to, be ruled
by later developments.
