The Australian authorities have sat
down OH the Marconi wireless tele-
graph system on the plea that its
wave currents are uncomfortable and
are liable to be intercepted. When
ever an Australian spanks his bad boy
in the back yard he does not want the
balance of the world to know it,
This was the objection to the Morse
telegraph system at first, but the OBJ
lection was soon overcome. The in
struments of the Marconi system are
tuned to each other and one will
not respond to another that is not so
tuned.

kind of men Mississippi and all other
Southern States need. The Gulf &

be one of the greatest civilizers and
elevators to the moral and social
status of the people of the section
through which it runs than any
other agency. County is linked to
county by this road and the state is

After the strike was declared many
of the regular hotels and stores were
compelled to close their doors. The
closing of the businesses and the i'm
possibility of the families OF the
miners and smelter men leaving Kes-
wick made IL necessary for the union
to adopt measures for the support
of the people who were affected by
the strike. The Western Federation
of Miners backed up the union finan-
cially. Money was rushed to the Kes-
wick union treasury and more is daily
arriving.
