Roosevelt and Organized Labor

Boston, Mass. Nov. 12.-President
Roosevelt's name and his action in the
so-called Miller open shop case, was
brought before the Convention Of the
American Federation of Labor today,
when several delegates critised his de-
cision not to discriminate against non
union labor in Federal employment.
The question came before the Conven-
tion from the committee on resolu-
tions in a report that a resolution on
the "openE Shop issue be referred to
the committe of the executive council.
The substance of the resolution was
that the "open shop" whether under
private or Government control, "can-
not be recognized by organized labor. ,"
Delegate j. NJ. Barnes, Of Philadel-
phia, president of the Cigar Makers
International Union, declared that
President Roosevelt's decision was a
slap in the face'' for laboring people.
President D. A. Hayes, of the Inter
national Association of Glass Blowers,
defended the Presidents action.
Eventually the resolution was recon-
mitted to the committee from which
it originated.
A resolution was adopted urging
that the Government construct all its
ships in Government yards, on the
ground that sIch a policy was fairer
to labor.

A Speech That Saved Man From Be-
ing Hung.

We take the following from the Bir-
mingham Daily News of November
7th, in which the court reporter of
that paper writes Of the great trial Of
Will Tolbert, negro who killed Hon.
James Thompson il months ago: Tol-
bert's attorney was Maj. David B. An
derson, formerly of Sumter, and be
seems to have been fortunate in his
selection of lawyer. The News print
ed an excellent likenessof Maj. Ander-
SON in connection with its comment,
which follows:
The murder case of Will Talbert,
a negro, who killed Mr.. James Thomp-
son, white man, eleven months ago.
consumed the time Of the Criminal
Court for two days this week. His
attorney was D. B. Anderson. This
case has attracted more attention than
any other case recently tried. One of
the jurors in the Talbert case said
81 am frank to say it was the first
time l ever cried in my life as a juror.
1t was while listening to Mr.. Ander-
sons speech. For one hour and fifty
FIVE minutes he held the jury spell
bound. At one time | even forgot
my name. That speech saved Talbert
from being hung"
All the rest tried for murder this
week we're sentenced to be hung. Mr..
Anderson got his man off with twenty
years.
Even the solicitor said: THAT was
the best speech I ever heard for a
defendant, except one, in my life"
Another juror said: Mr.. Anderson
can throw more feeling in his words
than any man I know Of except the
famous William L. Yancey, who
brought on the Confederate war
Another juror said: Mr.. Andersen
missed his calling. He ought to have
gone on the stage because ne is borr
actor.

Mir. Lever Laboriag for Better
Mail Facilities in his District,
Also to Get a Fine Public
Building for Sumter.

81 Washington, Nov. 12.-Representa-
tive Lever called at the postoffce
department. today in the interest of the
re-establishment Of the Meanwhile post
Office in Lee County. This Office has
been in exhistence for over one hun
s dred years, but on account of some
technicaliGy was few days ago dis
continued by the department. Mr..
Lever FLED petition for it's reopening,
and is making a vigorous fight in be-
half of the people accommodated by it.
He also fled a request for change in
the starting point of the star route
between Peak and GIympville, S. c.,
so as to give the people along the route
tie advantage of the early morning
mail. He also requested change In
star route from Chaplin, by way OF
Pine Ridge to Derricks, so as to afford
letter services to people along said
route. Mr.. Lever also called at the
pension bureau and took up number
OF claims with the commissioner. Mr..
Lever has introduced bill, carrying
s75,o00 for the erection Of postofce
building at Sumter. Sumter is one of
the best towns In the State, being fifth
IN point of population, with five rail
roads centsfing in it, large banking
and business establishments, with the
largest inland cotton market in the
State, the biggest telephone factory
s IN the South and perhaps in the United
States, and besides is surrounded by q
rich farming country. This undertak-
ing viii have the enthusiastic interest
OF Congressman Lever and will also
receive the active support of the entire
South Carolina delegation, 10th in
the House and the Senate. It is not
now known that q public building bill
viii be passed at this session, but Mr..
Lever does not care to run the risk of
any delay In introducing the bill.
At the last session of Congress Col.
Elliott obtained an additional appro-
priat tom of SI5, 600 for the Georgetown
public building, the real purpose of
raising the appropriation being to pur-
chase additional ground for a site, so
as to extend the Government property
TO the water point. This purpose was
not stated in the act and the secretary
of the Treasury had no authority to
acquire the additional site; so Mr..
Scarborough has introduced bill to
give the Secretary Of the Treasury
authority to acquire the additional
site. He will again introduce bill
for the erection of a monument to
Francis Marion st Marion, S. G.
There is considerable opposition to
monument bills, but Mr. Scarborough
thinks that perhaps the committee
may report an omnibus bill. a num-

No Betting on Races in Texas.

Houston, Tex Noy. 1.-THE Court
of Criminal Appeals affirmed today,
without reservation, the constitution
ality of the new State law, prohibit
ing betting on horse racing in the
State of Texas. Both the better and
the acceptor of the wager are punish
able, and the Court decides that the
legislature is within its province in
providing different penalties for the
two classes. The pool rooms of the
State are now closed, excepting at
Dallas, and they are preparing to re-
open there. The law was aimed origi-
nally at them, but they have found a
way to evade it and only the race
tracks are affected.

WORK OF THE SENATE.
Statehood and Militia Bills and Coal
Scarcity Coming Up.

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE pro-
gramme for the Senate for the week
includes the discussion Of the state
hood bill each day after 2 o'clock and
the intermittent discussion of the mi
litia bill during the morning hour of
each day, when it is not cut out by
some other matter.
There is also probability of a return
at any time to the question of scarcity
of coal in connection with Senator
Vests resolution to abolish the tariff
on anthracite.
Senator Nelson has not completed
his speech on the statehood question
He said to-day that he was unable
to say when he would conclude, but
when he does get through Senator
Burnham will be ready to proceed The
opponents of the statehood bill now
make little effort to conceal their in
tention to continue the debate on the
bill indefinitely, with the hope that it
will be sidetracked by the appropri-
alton bills, which must be passed be-
fore long. The friends of the state
hood bill say that they see no neces-
sity for getting out of the way of the
appropriation bills for the present. 1t
is probable that the first general ap-

GREAT IMPROVEMENTS.

100000 for This Account.

Those I'm st, Louis Set Aside $685.
100000 for This Account.
st. Louis, Jan. 1.-THE Republic will
say tomorrow:
The railways in ST. Louis have set
aside about $S5, 100000 to be expended
for improvements in this city. Many
of the extensions are already under
way, and the great bulk of the enor-
nous sum will be paid out before the
opening of the Worlds Fair
1.-THE fact that seven states in the
Southwest, all of them strictly in st.
Louis business territory, built $500 of
the $500 miles constructed in the en-
tire United States last year, and the
additional fact that construction In
this section this year will be still
larger, explains the true reason for
the vast terminal extensions" says a
prominent railroad official.
THE improvements at the Union Sta
ton here alone mean that six trains
may be run where only one is handled
now, and with the new loops, II will be
possible to handle sixty passenger
trains an hour, one every minute. Fa-
cilities for the handling of freight are
being increased in the same ratio"
