Republic Iron and Steel Directors
Thought This Best.
New York, Nov. sO.-Directors of the
Republic Iron and Steel Company. at
a protracted session to-day, decided
to postpone the declaration of the reg
ular per cent. dividend on the pre-
ferred stock. The following statement
was issued by President Alexis w.
thompson:
In view of the present unsettled
condition of the iron and steel indus
try, the directors deem it their duty
to the stockholders to husband the
company's resources and to increase
its financial strength, and for these
reasons decided to postpone the decla-
ration of the usual dividend.
The properties of the company are
free from bonded indebtedness and the
quick assets of the company are large
ly in excess of all it's liabilities. The
preference shares being cumulative,
all dividends in arrears will be paid as
soon as a change in the condition will
permit. Since the organization of the
company more than $6000,000 have
been expended for entirely new con-
struetion, which will give the COM
pany largely increased earnings as
soon as the iron industry resumes it's
normal conditions"
The resignation Of August Belmont
as director was rendered and accepted.

mon shares. OF this amount $20S52,-

if he does so he will come to Savannah

a native of California, and was at one

whence he went to Atlanta with a

The street car employees of New
Orleans are threatening another strike.
1t has scarcely been a year since they
struck before and within the past two
years their salaries have been in
creased fifty per cent. The companies
say they cannot stand another in
crease so it is now left for the en-
ployes to take. the property for wages
and sell it to the lowest and. worst
bidder and emigrate to New Jersey
where they can strike every day in
the week and be in favor with the
foreign socialists of that state. This
striking business is becoming tire.

public and the time is fast approach
ing when congress will have TO take
the matter in hand and put q stop te
it. Men have q right to strike OF
quit work at any time they see pro.
per, but strikes these days mean some.
thing more-they mean actual injurt
to the laws of commerce. and wher
that is effected the private business o.
all people is involved and injured.

Lincoln county has its public roads
worked By the contract system. Now
there comes up great complaint from
that county of the bad roads, the COM
plant being that the contractors are
neglecting their duties and that the
roads are about as bad as before the
contractors took charge of them. 1t
is a plain proposition-if the contrac-
tors fail to do their duty then the
board Of supervisors would be justi-
fable in refusing to pay them. But
il may not be all the fault Of the con-
tractors. The man who takes the con-
tract to put a road in good condition
and keep it so while every wagon pass
ing over it cuts it up like a patent
Irish potato slicer with the narrow
tires used these days is simply throw
ing away time and money. How the
board of supervisors expects to make
good roads and keep them in good con-
dition while they are travelled over by
wagons with tires only an inch or two
in width has not yet been explained,
and while few men may take con-
tracts to keep up the roads as a gen.
eral thing such men will be hard to
find and nine times out of ten all will
fail

Awriter suggests through the Noble
Herald that canal be cut from the
Tennessee river and allow the water
of that stream to flow into the War
rior, thus making that straem navi-
gable, at the same time somewhat re-
lieving the Mississippi in time Of high
water. Alabama can have every drop
of water that flows down the Ten
nessee if it wants it and nobody liy-
ing on the Mississippi will have a
word of complaint. But we doubt
that the small amount of water thus
taken from the Tennessee would have
any perceptible effect on the Missis-
sippi. What that river needs is some
way for the water to get out as fast as
it gets in-otherwise several outlets
down about the gulf. Besides, if the
Tennessee was turned into the Warrior
the people along that stream might
have more water at certain seasons OF
the year than they would need or
want.

Senator Money has reached his
home at iCarrollton from Washing

personal friends regarding the cam
palgn. The governor is also doing
considerable letter writing and look
ing after other details of his cam
paign. He has accepted an invita-
ton to deliver an address at Seran-

appointments will be arranged by
both candidates within the next few
days.

Candidates For and Noel ha,

Candidates Fox and Noel have
sprung new one ON Vardaman and
it is now in order for that gentleman
to say something in vindication of
himself or go way back and take q
seat. They claim that the part Of
speech he is making in laudation OF
the confederate soldier is pure pla-
giarism-in other wrods ID was stolen
bodily from q speech made by Bob
Ingersoll several years ago. Mr.. Fox
declares that this is the reason that
Mr.. Vardaman refuses to meet the
other candidates in joint debate. If
this is true Mr.. Vardaman will nave
to learn another speech or declare
ssdeins my sentiments and, notwith-
standing the speech is stolen, it is q
better one than can be made by either
of his opponents. But what this state
needs mostly is man for governor
who knows more about working his
hands and head and not quite SO much
about working his tongue. 1t is stated
that the men in congress who do the
country the most good and accomplish
more for their particular sections are
those who make the fewest speeches.
And this applies to q candidate for gov
renor Is we'll as to q representative in
congress. Oratory is good thing on
a Attn Of July, but it does not count
for much in the governors chair.

MORE GOOD WEATHER
Is Needed for the Corn That Was
Planted Late.

Washington, Sept. 22.-Notwithstand-
ing the occurrence of light to heavy
frosts generally throughout the corn
belt, the corn crop has escaped injury,
except in the western portions of Kan
sas and Nebraska and in the DakotaS,
Minnesota and Wisconsin. While low
temperatures have prevented rapid
ripening, especially over the western dis
tricts. the crop as a whole has advanced
favoraby. although the late planted in
the Ohio valley and Tennessee has suf-
fered from drouth. A large part or the
crop is now safe, but the bulk of the
unmatured will require from one to two
weeks of favorable weather
The weather has been favorable for
the completion of spring wheat harvest
on the north Pacific coast. In the Da-
kotas and Minnesota. spring wheat in
shock has been injured and threshing
delayed by wet wheat. Except in pos--
tions of the eastern districts of the cot
ton belt, where cotton picking has been
interrupted by rains, the weather con-
ditions have been favorable for gather
ing the crop and this work has progress
ed rapidly The prevalence OF rust,
shedding and boil worms is widespread.
Cotton is opening rapidly in ali dis
tricts. The outlook for top crop is
not promising.
Ploughing and seeding have advanced
satisfactorily except in the Ohio valley
and Tennessee where the soil has been
too dry and in the northern portion of
the middle Atlantic states where there
has been too much rain.

that Shupe dragged the boy, to the lake
