 Resolutions Adopted.
 The following resolutions were intro-
 drced, briefly discussed and adopted:
 Resolved, That this Association con
 sider the question whether or not they
 will endorse national aid for building
 good roads as embodied in bills now pending in the Congress of the United States.
 Resolved, That 1t is the sense of the
 Montgomery Agricultural Association that the fund arising from the sale of fer tiiizer tags being exclusively paid by till- ers of the soil. should be used only to further the interests of agriculture. Resolved. That our Commissioner of Agriculture be requested to obtain the exact yield of acid phosphate in Charles ton Florida and Tennessee phosphate rock after treatment with sulphuric acid. and ascertain if the product cannot be placed on the market in merchantable form, so that<the farmer can use 1t without hav- ing to pay freight and charges on filler which constitutes about 25 per cent. of the weight of the whole" B. B. Smith made an interesting ad- dress on proper preparation and cultiva- ton of corn suitable for either dry or vet seasons. He said deep blowing. fre- auent narrowing, shallow and flat culti- vation was the way to grow big crops He claimed our, prairie lands were equal to the blue grass lands of Kentucky, and with the same rotation and cultivation would yield as large and profitable crops M. c. Scott presented the claims of en- silage and the silo as necessary for the economical feed of stock. Twelve to twenty tons of corn. pea vines and sor- ghum could be grown to the acre, he said. and preserved more easily than cur ing hay.
 In answering questions Mir. Scott said he had made $500 worth of cabbage to the acre and expected to make two bales ! or cotton per acre on the same land by
 irrigation.
 Attention was called to a most excel lent report made by Mir. Stuckey to the Association last year on irrigation of truck and other crops, It would have
 been immensely profitable this dry sea- son.
 W: H. Vaughn wanted the Association to secure an address from an expert on preventing land from washing and sug-
 gested that Prof. J. F. Duggar be re- auested to speak on the subject. pr. Tenniile and Robert Halls favored

TRIED JAIL DELIVERY
MCCORMACK CAUGHT SAVING
 BARS OF HIS CELL.
Young White Man Just Sentenced to Five Years for Burglary Exposed By An Unknown Small
 Boy.

Mister. there's a man trying to get out up stairs there"
 An unknown small boy at o'clock last | night in this manner communicated to l the night jailer that Walters McCor- mack. who was yesterday sentenced to five years in the penitentiary for burg lery, was making a bold effort to es- cape.
 The small boy had read of Russell and Driscoll, and their daring deeds. He had probably seen the famous safe blowers during their recent sensational trails. So yesterday evening when he noticed a prisoner in the front cell on the east side of the Montgomery County jail, he asked Deputy Sheriff George Jones. who was passing at the time, Does Russell and Driscoll stay in that roomT'
 NO, sonny" said the genial officer. Russell is there but Driscoll is further back"
 well there's a fellow in that cell go- ing like this," said the youngster, and he indicated a saving motion.
 Major Jones sauntered up Washington Street until a good view was had of the window He saw Mccormack busy with a saw on the third bar of the second window of his cell.
 He communicated the information to Night Jailer Boiling c. Young In the meantime the small boy departed.
 Moving quietly Mir. Young and Deputy Sheriff S. s. Belser went into the post office park. from which an excellent view was afforded of the window where the work was being done. Bushes in the park afforded excellent concealment. For tw, hours they watched the work Carter A United Sstates prisoner, held for per iury. was on guard for Mccormack, and the work was frequently interrupted by conversations between him and the young burglar.
 Al 10 o'clock JaiIer McLemore, who was in his room, was informed.
 Ha walked up stairs to the cell occu- niad bv Mccormack. Previous to that time the men had been working with the Eight turned on to avoid suspicion, as the lights usually burn until about 10 o'clock As Jailer McLemore started up the steps the incandescents were turned off.
 Walking cautiously to the door and drawing his big revolver. he called out: "An right, Mccormack Cut that out Give me those tools. Mccormack was stIll sitting in the win dow. He did not move .Hurry up, I say" sternly demanded | the taller, and he emphasized his remarks by some positive movements with the re- Yolver.
 Mccormack turned on the light and sur- rendered to the jailer new steel saw without a frame. He was badly fright ened.
 Carter, the United States prisoner, in- sisted that he was waiting for the proper moment to inform Night Jailer Young. From whom the saw was secured Is a ! mystery to the jail officials. They are of the opinion, however, that the tool was secured during the trial of Mccormack,

We have visited other countries
and our impression Is that the miners
Of Durham and Northumberland are
generally better off than their brothers
elsewhere. Especially can this be said
of the opportunities for miners and
mine laborers to educate themselves
through the medium of reading rooms,
libraries, etc., and they can also find
enjoyment in various ways through
their clubs, which are more or less
established at or near every mining
locality in these two countries, the
short hours, of course, giving them the
chance to take advantage of these
things.
Much can be said that would be of

ture reference in guiding us in plans

DEBS' PAPER is REJECTED.

Eugene V. Debs' sent to McClure's
magazine in response to a request by
the editor, an article replying to the
one by Grover Cleveland on the 'Debs'
Strike in Chicago" in 1894, and the
manuscript has been returned to him
with the Information that it. did not
confine itself to a sober statement of
facts, as did Mr.. Cleveland's article,
but was in bad temper. The sugges-
ton was made that it could be rewrit-
ten. Debs has replied:
IF a statement OF absolute facts,
taken from. the official records. made
in decorous Language, is not a sober
statement Of facts, it is simply because
the facts do not admit Of sober state
ment You know that Mr.. Cleveland
is the idol Of American plutocracy,
and you also know the reason why,
and I am strongly. inclined to think
that this is the reason that prompts
the rejection OF the article"
MIR. Debs says he prefers to have 1t
rejected to publicat ton when. emagcu-
lated. It will be widely distributed by
Socialists, with Debs' letter. to the
magazine. := ;::s: s.. ss ~

THE GRAPE NUTS MAN.
Mr.. Post Of Battle Creek Declares
Roveo+t Unon Him4etf,


Fl, c.. Post Of the Postum Cereal Co.,
Battle Creek, Mihcigan,. is working
upon the sympathies of members OF the
Citizens Alliance just now by pro-
claiming that a boycott has been de-
clared on his goods by the labor organ
izations. Mr.. Post is a member or
Parrys Manufacturers association and
of the American Anti-Boycotting asso-
citation, and has evidently been carried
away with enthusiasm for his fads.
There has never been a boycott de-
clared upon any of the products of the
Postum company, Mr.. Posts statement
to the contrary notwithstanding. The
trouble was started by a little Typo
graphical union down in Kentucky,
which passed a resolution denouncing
the company for advertising in the rat
Los Angeles Times. But since Mr.. Post
has gone so far in his hatred Of unions
and union men as to misrepresent the
facts in his advertisements, it might
be we'll for all union men to cut out
his imitation coffee, and to. find q,
breakfast food that will take the place
of his famous nuts.

that is rapidly destroying home life for

Just the same when he returns to his

have sufficient means to live In decen-

J0NN MITCHELL WRITES
LETTER FROM EUROPE
PRESIDENT OF THE MINERS TELLS
SOMETHING ABOUT LONDON.
Mitchell Finds That Short Hours for
Miners Gives Them Opportunity to
Educate and Improve Themselves and
Their Surroundings-Engl People
Do Much to Encourage Pleasure Re-
sorts for Working People.

Writing from Edinburg, Scotland,
John Mitchell, president of the United
Mine Workers union, says he finds
many interesting things in the old
country. Writing Of London, President
Mitchell says he visited quite a num-
ber of historical buildings, but London
is too crowded and congested a city
for coal miner to enjoy.
''There are several fine parks where
the common people can go and enjoy
themselves, but we understand there
are thousands of poor people who
have been born and died in this great
city who never had the pleasure Of
taking advantage of these breathing
spots. where they could get away from
close confined tenements In which
they exc out their lives. Hyde Park

vocate will be within a very few feet
of another man advocating. infidelity, 1,

Union men of Duluth, Labor Day is
near at hand. This day, the first Mon
day in September, was made by SOL
emn act Of Congress, national holi-
day. sacred to the interests and in
honor to the worth of the wage earn
ers Of this great Republic, at the So
ncttat1on of the labor organizations.
Congress did not establish this holi-
day as q mere compliment to those who
asked to have it established, or as a
political trick to catch votes. The
day was appointed and put In the high
ly honorable company Of the Fourth Of
July, Decoration Day and Christmas,
under the conviction held by the ma
tfonal lawma kers, that the toilers for
hire are vital and elemental parts Of
the governing power Of the nation
These lawmakers believed a common
interest with themselves and other fel-
low citizens in the welfare of the coun-
try, had special and peculiar interests
OF their own, growing out Of the mod
ern industrial system These special
and peculiar interests of the wage
earners were thought to need and
were deemed worthy a day set apart
for their consideration in a formal
manner by the congregated hosts Of
labor at each important Industrial
point. 1t was supposed and intended
that labor on that day would assemble
in mass for thoughtful consideration
OF It's duties, bold assertion of it's rights
Hrm and clear presentation and discus
sion of its grievances and requests for
reform and amelioration Of it's condt-
t'on. This use Of the day, and 1t is
the right use, would impress the pub
lie, as it can be impressed In no other
way, of the value and Importance, the
numbers and just power Of organized
labor. The display Of the public. pa
rade and the jollity and good cheer
OF merry-making are consistent with
and appropriate to the more serious
business Of the proper celebration of
the holiday. That every union man,
who is able to be out of bed on that
day, should contribute his part to
such a proper celebration cannot ad-
init OF question. It is his highest duty

cent a pound reduction, in instructive
contrast to the great increase which
the butchers, and public were forced
to pay.
"And what is the pretext? Men who,
many OF them, worked only 13 hours a
week at 1917 cents an hour, had their
wages cut a cent an hour, because the

whose acquaintance with beef was con-
fined to the packing house!
All that is very shifty, thieving,
cruel and mean, but it only has to do

some hundreds OF thousands whom the
strike must injure in work or business.

there is lawful way out of this horror,

ers Of this and other cities: and of
groups of small neighboring towns,

There is little. hope Of defeating the

thus the co-operators would have al

large scale, and the only manner in:
which they can be overthrown is to at

than they are able to control.
In plain terms they must be attacked
