A NEW ENTERPRISE
A SLAUGHTER AND PACKING
 HOUSE TO BE ERECTED
By tho Yelverton Packing Co. on the River Below the City. to Compete With Vest
 ern Packers.

The Yelverton Packing Company, com
 posed of Messrs. H. L. and R. H. Yel- verton has petifloned. the City Council of Montgomery for permission to erect and operate a slaughter and packing | house on the river below the city, and near the corporate limits. The new com
 pany will, if it's plans. do not miscarry, be one of far-reaching importance and benefit to the city of Montgomery. the State of Alabama, as well as to its pro
 moters. The Yelverton Packing Com
 pany will be incorporated with 80 capital which will be increased from time ! to time, as the enterprise develops, It's field widens.
 It is certain that this enterprise will do | more than anything else possibly could to induce the farmers of not only this
 section. but of a large territory as well. to turn their attention to raising hogs and cattle. Tiiis, in turn, will do more than anything else can to make the farmers prosper. This company will be ready at all times to buy all the hogs and cattle offered. thus making Mont gomery a first-class hog and cattle mar ket. The people of this city and section will reap substantial benefits in the shape of better meats and lower prices.
 As a matter of course, the new pack ing company will actively compete in its territory with the great packing houses
 of the West. and 1t Is to be hoped will be
 able to loosen the grip of the meat trust.
 at least in this section of Alabama. If the City Council of Montgomery
 grants the permit petitioned for. the
 Yelverton Packing Company will, at once.
 erect substantial and commodious build
 ings; put in . ten-ton Ice plant of the
 latest and best design; arrange for an
 up-to-date smoke house for curing
 meats; and. in a word. thoroughly equip
 modern slaughter and packing house.
 from which dressed and cured meats,
 lard. etc., will be turned out in large
 quantities to compete in the open mar
 kets with Western packing houses. This
 will bring a great deal of money to
 Montgomery that has heretofore gone to
 other States for packing and slaughter
 house products.
 Everything considered, this new enter
 prise means much to Montgomery, as we'll
 as to adjacent cities and towns. to the
 farmers of Alabama. and to its promoters.
 who 1t 10 to be hoped, will advance their own interests while helping to inaugurate
 this new Southern industrial undertaking. --adv, 4t

Child Labor North and South.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 There is reason to believe that the agi- tation in opposition to child labor in the South has, as the Post points out, pro duced marked and noteworthy results in the North even if New England Is pre- serving it's once historical attitude of be- ing silent against human slavery lest Its pocket be affected" For instance:
 "In New York, New Jersey and Hi nois active steps have been taken to cor rect abuses, just as in Virginia bill for bidding the employment of children un- der F has been presented to the Legis- allure, backed by the leading Richmond newspapers. The Illinois Child Saving League is to present bill to the llli- nois Legislature which forbids, among other things, the working of children at night In New Jersey the need of action is imperative. We know of at least one New York corporation which is moving to that State simply to take advantage of the laxness of the New Jersey laws in regard to child labor. In this State strong and permanent committee has been formed to remedy defects in the fac tory and mercantile law. which permits the employment of many children under age, in spite of faithful work on the part of inspectors, and With no violation of the law on the part of employers The shocking testimony given yesterday be- forc the strike commission in regard to the employment of little girls in the silk mills for periods of twelve hours. at the rate of three and five and one-half cents all hour. shows that Pennsylvania has still another cause for shame in its la Dor conditions"
 It would seem that these instances Of Northern shortcomings should convince the Southern people that criticisms by the North are sincere and proper and that they bear out Mrs. Florence Kelley s statement that the child labor problem far from being a local one to be dealt with by small group of Southern cotton manufacturing States, is a great anG growing national problem.
 So far as the South is concerned. there is but one position that may reasonably be taken on this question. Child labor is not the cause of prosperity in the South. which is made by a native of Alabama in a letter to The Evening Post may not be too heavily emphasized.

Congressional Conundrums.

NeW 1OTk lTlDune.
 Doblin. Quigg and Gessler have all tes- tifed about bribery. Doblin says Quigg wanted him to bribe Lessler. Quigg says it's a lie. Lessler says Doblin told him it was true. Clearly somebody is lying, and presumably he has motive for it.
 Now Doblin turns around and says he lied. Quigg and Lessler stand pat
 Clearly both Quigg and Lessler had ample motive for standing pat. But what motive did Doblin have for proclaiming himself a liar? Did anybody have any interest in hiring the man to make that indecent exhibition of himself? If so, who?
