These farmers have the 'old country"
notions of careful and thorough work with

such carefulness pays.

MINERS LOCALS
 WILL ACT TODAY It is Thought Scale Win be
 Signed Tomorrow OPERATORS ULTlMATUM Joint Convention Which Adjourned Saturday Will Reconvene Tuesday Afternoon to Hear Result of
 the Locals action.

There is very confident feeling in in- dustrial circles that the miners and oper- ators will agree by tomorrow upon scale for the year beginning July 1.
 The operators agree to an increase of 21s a ton on minimum and maximum. but the maximum to be based on SIP iron in- stead of the present s11 basis. The miners wanted larger advance and they insist ed on an eight-hour day and a semi monthly pay day. but tue operators have positively refused to sign for an eight-hour day or twice-a-month pay days. The question then Is on the operators proposi- tion granting an advance of 211c and the locals will vote on this today.
 It is said that large majority of the miners are willing to waive the eight hour day demand this year rather than have a strike. If majority of the lo- calls accept the operators proposition. the scale will be signed tomorrow even ing. The joint convention of miners and operators adjourned Saturday until ? D. m. tomorrow.
 Referring to the talk about arbitra- tion. a prominent operator said yester- day that there would be no arbitration; that the miners had the ultimatum of proposition is not accepted" he said, "there will be strike. But I think 1t will be accepted"

EXTENSION OF THE
 TELEGRAPH CABLES
POSTAL TELEGRAPH CABLE co. COMMEMORATE EPOCH IN ITS HISTORY Bv ADOPTING UNIQUE DEVICE OR TRADE MARK.

To commemorate an epoch in it's history and an event of signal importance to the countryside extension of the cables under the Pacific ocean from San Francisco to Hawaii Guam. Manila, and china-a new telegram form has been designed and adopted by. the Postal Telegraph-Cable company.
 The distinctive feature of the form is an unique device, or trademark" eiptcal In shape, to indicate that the company's lines extend more than two-thirds of the dis rance from east to west around the world. The border of the elipse is representa- ton of an armored submarine cable with the words Postal Telegraph Commercial Cable System" in white on the blue ground of a marginal band surrounding a reduced map showing In silhouette the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. the shores of Europe and Asia and the continent of North America. and indicating the routes of ocean cables and the main American ldnu-lneS or lne CoHlIltfCidl Cdpie anu Postal Telegraph companies.
 An official of the Postal in referring to the "trademark' says:
 ''The device is graphic delienation in a remarkably small space of the compre- hensive and far-reaching telegraph sys- tenn which will endure as a fitting monu- ment to the late John w. MacKay, in whose patriotism and public spirit it. was conceived, and through whose sagacty financial ability. and lndomtable energy it was established and developed despite powerful opposition until it gained public recognition as one of the most successful, as well as beneficient enterprises of the times.
 ''The secret of it's success Is an open one and Is summed up in the phrase that has become the motto of It's employees: 1n- telligence. diligence energy and courtesy that make the best telegraph service'
 Tt is justifable pride that leads to the reiteration in the companys advertise ments of the question Did you ever stop to compare the efficient telegraph service of today with the telegraph service as 1t was before the Postal and Commercial Companies entered the field? followed by the answer. Tt is better now, and we had big share in malSino it so.

BAPTIST UNION MAKES
 A LIBERAL DONATION
President of East Lake Body Hands Over for Dormltory Fund More
 Than Its Proportion.

The Howard college dormitory fund was added to yesterday. Last spring the Baptist Young Peoples unions of Alabama promised to raise $1Ooo for the fund The matter rested for time and nothing had been paid of the amount until yesterday, when at the East Lake Baptist church, under the leadership of MT Bradford Wood, the president of the East Lake union gave s65. which was about eight times more than it's propor- tion.
 This is the largest gift ever made by an individual Baptist union for educa- tional purposes in Alabama. Large credit is said to be due to MT. Wood. the head of the young people, as this amount is in addition to the $lsoO or sl4OO already given by East Lake to the dor mitory fund

GROUND ON WHICH
 PRISONER IS HELD
HOW LEWIS, NOW IN. JAIN cHARG- ED WITH THE MURDER OF OLD NEGRO, WAS TRACED TO CHAT TANooGA.

William Lewis, alias John Brooks, the negro who is in the county Jail charged with the murder of William Kennedy, an aged negro. is said to have had the horse which the negro was driving when he was killed
 It was chiefly on this evidence that the negro was caught He is said to have disposed of the rig in which the old negro was driving, and that he was tvylng to sell the horse when he was arrested.
 The negro arrested is about 34 years old. and seems fairly intelligent. The crime he is accused of is one of the worst committed in Jefferson county in some time On Saturday afternoon, June 13, the old negro was driving to his home near East Lake with some money which his sons had given him to spend during the week
 Just before reaching the creek this side of East Lake he was attacked and kill ed. His head was beaten badly with a heavy, blunt instrument and he was traced the next day by his blood. The remains were found Sunday afternoon by several men who constituted a search ing party to find the negro. The old mans face and head were so badly beaten as to be unrecognizable. His horse and cart were both gone and search was at once commenced for them.
 The negro who committed the crime was traced several miles through the country, and afterwards traces of him were lost It was finally discovered that he had gone in the direction of Chatta- nooga, and the police and sheriff there were requested to keep lookout for him. They arrested Lewis. and he was brought back yesterday morning by deputy sheriff from Birmingham.
