Tendenor Of ihe TImes

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being
given TO the subject. It is easier
and better to prevent than to cure.
1t has been fully demonstrated that
pneumonia, one of the most danger
GUS diseases that medical men have
to contend with, can be prevented
by the use of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. Pneumonia always results
from a cold or an attack of influenza
(grip), and it has been observed that
this remedy counteracts any tend
ency of these diseases toward pneu-
monia This has been fully proven
in many thousands of cases in which
this remedy has been used during
the great prevalence of colds and
grip in recent years, and can be
relied upon wi .h implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from a
slight cold when no danger is APP
pretended until it is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever and
difficulty in breathing and pains in
the chest, then it is announced that
the patient has pneumonia. Be on
the safe side and take Cham berlain s
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold
is contracted. 1t always cures, For

It is probable that most of the
recommendations of the senate sub
committee, which investigated Ha
waiian matters, will fall by the way
side. The contention Of the citizens
of that territory that the enactment
of the legislation proposed means the
utter ruin of their industries, is hav-
ing much weight with the conserv-
alive element, and congress appears
indispOsed to enter upon the policy of
granting exclusive franchises on the
public lands to individuals or corpo-
rations.

English reports show that while
the United States has nine times the
mileage Of the railroads Of Great
Britain, yet the latter carried twice
as many passengers in 1902. The
most Interesting comparison lies in
the number Of passengers killed and
injured during the year named. 249
killed and 4, l29 injured is the record
Of the United States, while In Greal
Britain only 476 were injured and

 An argument was made by Attorney Hugh Morrow of the defense in favor of that this witness testimony would shed light on the motive of the men in going to the hotel on the morning of April 1T, and would aid them in showing that the defendant acted in self defense.
 The objection on the part of the state to admitting the testimony was sustained, although the court said he might see reasons for reconsidering later. on.
 It was requested of the defense that they make an effort to have the first witness called promptly at 9:30 o'clock this morning. in order not to lose so much time. Court then adjourned until that hour this morning.

JOINT COMMITTEE OF OPERATORS
 AND MINERS TO WORK ON SCALE
Continued from Fifth Pase)


 iron was selling at SIS per ton, they were sold up for the balance of that year and they couldn't afford to pay any higher prices, and yet they come In here this morning with $1550 iron and ask the miners to submit to a reduction because they say that Iron and coal Is going to fall. l want to tell the operators, and l am going ot tell them plainly, that the miners in this state never again will dig coal at STE cents per ton. Every state in this union since the first day of April. has had an advance in wages. Even that benighted state West Virginia has got some of the blessings this year that they have never gotten before, and yet we come to Alabam9 and are asked to sub init to reduction with iron at $15.50. I said it last year, and I repeat 1t again today, that there is no state in the union getting as much for coal as this state. and there is no state in the union get ting as low wages unless we go to West Virginia
 "Now, gentlemen I am not going to de- tain the convention another moment fur ther than to say that l hope when this matter gets into the hands of the scale committee, that there will be more reason displayed by the operators than there has evidently been in their own confer ences, because the scale proposed is the most outrageously unjust have heard in the last ten years. l am not surprised that the miners in this convention should ask the operators to give some reason why the operators ask this reduction. and I, therefore. hope that some of the oper- ators who are responsible for this scale shall get up and tell the convention why they made it."
 A motion was made and carried that

 "I think, said Colonel Bush, that the miners ought to show that they are, under the conditions under which they are living doing the best they can. and 1t will prove think, when they do that that the total wages earned by miners in Alabama will be larger than anywhere else. l want to deny the statement made by Mir Fairley that the miners in Ala bama are working for less wages than any other state in the union. It is not true. In the first place you have more opportunity to work. You can work twelve months a year If you want to, but if you go to Illinois or anywhere else you will find they are shut down three months sometimes, when trade conditions will not permit them to work.
 "I hope, gentlemen, as Mr. Fairley says that the time of discussion will be very short and that you will take your holiday this week and not next week. We are go- Ing to try to get together, l am sure; we are going to be reasonable and expect you to do so. It is a funny thing, that every year the miners come up here and ask for more all the time, and we never hear them say we want less, and when we complain they object very seriously.
 Tt reminds me of a small boy who got his little brother off by himself and got hammer and was hammering away on his head, and the little fellow yelled, and the other boy called out Mamma l wish you would come here to Johnny What Is the matter asked his mother, Why he said. every time I hit him on the head he hollers.' Now gentlemen we will holler a little if you keep on hitting us on the head. Now. please use little softer hammer, and please don't hit quite so hard"

Col. Bush cited the fact that in the res cent great anthracite strike when the commission was called on to settle this clause they did not say that the condi- lions even then demanded or justified an s-hour day and settled as compromise on hours per day. Colonel Bush said
 that he wanted to see that the miners in Alabama lived up to the privileges which they enjoyed, and urged upon the miners the necessity of working as many days in the month as they possibly could, and stated that when miners in this district do not work an average of twenty days or not exceeding that, that it would seem they are either living re- markedly we'll or their wants were very few and that they did not care to in-

Good for Justice Morrow, of Olga!
il is q pleasure to the ISLANDER to
commend his prompt and unhesitating
action in fining the insolent hunter,
Granger, $50 and costs for hunting
deer without a license and running
them with dogs. 1t is a pity that the
officers did not succeed in bringing the
fellows six associates In lawbreaking
up before the justice also, for it seems
evident from the result in the Granger
case that justice would have been
neted out to them in good wholesome
doses. Half the fine imposed should

constable, or game warden, arrested
Granger and swore to the complaint
against him. The law requires that
"All moneys received and fines col
lected under this act shall be paid to
the treasurer of the county and placed
by him in the game protection fund.-"
The old law provided that "One-half
the fine imposed, exclusive of costs,
shall be paid to the informer or to the
sheriff, constable or police officer who
