THE SOCIETY CRIMINAL.

The manner in which the Atlanta Jour
nal deals with the case of G.. H. Sims.
whose extensive defalcation has recently
been discovered. impresses the reader as
officially false. Had the young man stolen
a loaf Of bread to keep soul and body to-
gether. the theft would have been dis
missed with curt par graph. But he was
young. handsome and popular; he was Of
fine family and well educated and so the
paper is filled with details OF his personal
attractions and luxurious habits. He
earned go month, but his was generous
disposition: he liked to give box parties.

MIR. PARRY ON ORGANIZED LABOR.

Mr.. d. NJ. Parry's position as president
of the National Association of Manufacture
ers insured him an intelligent audience at

labor to capital and it's possible influence
on production and wages of the future is a
subject of great Importance. primarily to
manufacturers and incidentally to all
classes Of society. Mr.. Parry advanced

weight was lessened by his manner of put
ting them. The same views presented in
temperate language and In form BETTING
the discussion of large questions would
carry much more weight than they did or
perance OF language detracted materially
from the force of his argument One re-
suit OF this defect in his style is that il
will give the leaders of organized labor a
chance to say that he is the enemy Of labor
and Of workingmen under any and all cir
cumstances. There was so much more of
violent statement than of calm discussion
IN MS speech tndt THIS Charge can De made
with some show OF reason. Yet he dis
claimed 1t in few sentences preceded and
followed by many others that seem to JUS
tify the charge. He said:
Once thoroughly alive to the true nature

pie, l firmly believe. will place their stamp
OF disapproval upon IL and IL will dwindle
in power faster than II grew. Perhaps a
new form OF unionism will take its place-a
benefcent unionism-for the right OF the
workmen to organize within the spirit of
the federal Constitution Is not to be dis
puted. The employers OF this country have
no quarrel with the men that work for

fare OF those who toll in our factories calls
for our most earnest consideration Bur
what we must protest against Is the unwar-
rantable usurpation OF rights and the disas-
trous industrial policy which characterizes
them in their present associated capacity
From this IL appears that Mr.. Parry Is
not opposed 20 organized labor In the alb
stract. but TO organized labor as IL Is now

that of those persons who do not oppose

EIGHT-H0UR LAWS.
They Are Not Good for Men Who Are
Determined to Succeed.

They Are Not Good for Men Who Are
Determined to Succeed.
Boston Advertiser.
The legislative committee on labor has re-
ported a bill making an eight-hour day the
legal working day for every employee for
the State. The reason for reporting such
bill is recognized by the members, but
probably they themselves do not expect
that the rule will apply to every man who
is anxious to work his way up and ambi-
tious to make a name for himself
The men who succeed are not idle men
who watch the clock. That is a perfectly
safe thing to say. because every successful
man will indorse 1t. The idea of limiting
the work of men to any particular time
the average man from being overworked
The law that labor wants enacted is to pro-
tect the men who do not want to work over
eight hours day. There are places where
1t might hurt mans health to work longer
than eight hours on a stretch. A fireman
in the hold OF a steamboat, or a miner in a
badly ventilated drift. or a court stenog-
rapher might find more than an eight-hour
day too hard for the constitution
In the ordinary government place a work.
ing day of eight hours, at a good salary,
represents fairly, easy job. and If the law
is passed IL will pile up the state expenses,
naturally. Men like Governor Bates, at the
head of the whole commonwealth, or his
predecessor, Governor Crane, have found
a working day of eight hours too short for
what they had to do. Men of that stamp
do not work by the clock. That is one
reason why they succeed.
The successful men are all hard workers
The man who succeeds does so because he
does more good work than the average.
1t is merely question whether success is
worth hard work. This applies to success
of every kind--not merely money-making,
although in this age success is better paid
than ever before.
TO make success; honesty. reliability, intel
ligence. the knack of dealing with men.
pluck and push, determination. But all
these things imply in themselves that the
young man who has these characteristics
is too busy and too much wrapped up in
his work to watch the clock. He works
until his work Is done, whether it takes two
hours or ten.

The fact that nearly four months of the
present year have passed without single
lynching having occurred in Mississippi
thus far Is causing favorable comment.
The scarcity of lynchings is probably due
to the increase of legal hangings. for the
official records show that more death SEN
fences have been handed down by Missis-
sippi courts during the past year than dur
ing any two years of the States history
since the civil war. The mob spirit may
break out any day, but the record for 1908
thus far il encouraging.

Increase In Property Values and
Crops Good.
Washington, Ga. Aug. 6.-The d.
gest, which has just been completed,
shows an increase of 800 in proper
ty values in Wilkes county over that
of last year. Though the increase has
not been phenomenal it serves to show
the prosperity and the steady growth
of this city and county. The increase
in realty values of city and farm show
the most decided improvement.
The crop outlook in Wilkes is de-
cidedly better at this time than it was
two weeks ago. Copious rains have
fallen in almost all sections of the
county within the past ten days and
the crops, which were looking parch-
ed to a considerable degree, are now
in a splendid condition. Cotton upon
the whole is doing well. The corn
crop will probably be the largest in
several years.
