Industrial EdncatIon.

In a recent address before
the students OF the Georgia
Institute of Technology. at
Atlanta. Mr.. Samuel Spencer
president OF the Southern
Railway, made some very
significant statements with
reference to the present indus
trial situation in the South.
Among other things he con-
tended that the greatest need
of this section now is t b e
establishment OF more a n d
better industrial schools and
the further extension of tech
nical education as a means
Of preparing the young men
of the South for industrial
pursuits.
However 1t may be it seems
to us that the suggestion of
Mr.. Spencer ia worthy Of serl
Gus consideration to say the
least. The great need Of the
south at the present time is
m ore efficient workmen.
There is now a great indus
trial awakening in this sec
tion and the necessity for
trained men who know how
to lido things was never so
pressing. Az 1t is, it is neces
sary for q great many OF
them to 20 to northern tech
biological schools in order to
receive proper training. If
this need OF technical educa
tion could be adequately sup
piled by southern schools, 1t
would encourage the young
men OF this section to secure
such training and would aid
in the further development
OF our ind ustrial life. 1t Ger
tainly seems to us that this
ia a matter that should re
ceive more consideration at
the hands Of those interested
in the educational welfare Of
this section and in the distri
button OF public frauds for
educational purposes.

Advantages Of Free Rural Delivery.
"Thls is the greatest thing
have ever SEEN" remarked
one to us the other day as We
passed a mail box on q rural
free delivery route. Aud truly
it is q great thing. The
people in the country now
have the mail advantages OF
a town or a city at no effort
or expense except the pur-
chase for $500 of a mail
Box that will last a genera
ton.
The system is completely
revolutionizing the mailing
interests of the country, Be-.

has put such a valued and

the State convention that

was nominat ted for governor
as a concession to the new

Mr.. Marion Butler who was
then editing the Caucasian n

editorial advising tha mem.

In addition to watermelons. checkers are

Southern Iron Companies.

The Wall Street Journal says:
The August sales of pig iron by the
southern iron companies are expected to
exceed production to an extent sufficient
to handsomely decrease the present COM
paratively small surplus on the iron
yards.
The firmness with which prices are be-
Ing held in the Birmingham district may
to some extent be due to the troubles
which the companies are having with the
coal miners. Consumption. however, is in
creasine.
Alabama will this year retain Its DO
stion as the third largest producer of
Iron ores In the United States. In 1908 its
total ore output was 1854 $50 tons of
which 2,77e,691 tons were red hematite
and 9o5,26O tons were black 'hematite.
This years production is estimated at
not less than 100000 tons
