THE "Rhode Island" launching
incident is closed; but it is closed
in a manner that is unsatisfactory to
all concerned. In spite Of all
the excuses made from President
Roosevelt down, 1t is impossible to
eradicate the idea that slight, which
amounted almost to an insult, was
put on the Governor of Rhode
Island. 1t is perfectly safe to say
that had Republican been COVER
nor of the state the thing would not
have happened and the custom OF
similar occasions would have been
followed. 1t is not difficult to trace
the origin Of this very narrow parti-
san episode to Washington and the fl
nal fizzle was speedy judgment on the
high officials who are to blame.
The Republican party does not own
the state of Rhode Island any more
than the Republican party pays Tor
the battleship. tits useless to handy
words about the occasion being en-
tirely unofficial as far as the state
officers were concerned. 1t was an
occasion where precedent should
have been followed and courtesy
observed. Such Sights to Governor
Garvin are Sights to the people of
Rhode Island and they do net
strengthen the Republican party in
this state.

NEXT Monday is a national holi-
day. 1t is set apart as day of
remembrance Of those men who
gave up their lives for their country.
1t is not day that should be lightly
passed over, for the debt we owe
these dead heroes can never be paid.
AS the years go by the signifi-
canoe of the Memorial day may
grow more dim, but surei we who
live in reunited republic, can spare
a thought to the sacred memory of
'the brave that are no more"
Those who can see the surviving
veteran in his pathetic task Of plac-
ing the wreath Of flowers on the
grave of his dead comrade, and not
feel a thrill Of gratitude for what
those men did, are not worthy to call
themselves Americans.

THE only reason heard for the

THE only reason heard for the
present rather dull condition of bus
mess is that this is the presidential
year. If the election Of a president
gives twelve months OF dull business
then that is reason enough for u
longer term. The advocates of one
term of six years have more than
one argument, for president is not
at his best when he is laying wires
for a reelection. We are in the
habit of looking down on Mexico,
but that country has not had its pros
perity hazarded by political turmoil
every four years. In this country
politics is placed before almost any
thing else.

Operators and Workers at Fall River
to Hold Conference.
Renewed hope of a settlement Of the
prolonged cotton mill strike in Fall
River, Mass, was given Friday night
by the announcement that another
conference had been arranged between
representatives of the strikers and the
mill owners.
It is understood that every effort
will be made to put an end to the
strike which has thrown nearly $4,000
operatives out of employment and
been attended with much suffering.
President Golden, Of the United Tex
tile Council. and Secretary Albert Fib-
bert, returned Friday night from New
York. where they met President Sam.
uel Gompers, of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor. The conditions in the
local mills we're explained to Mr.
Gompers. Soon after President Col
den and Secretary Hilbert returned to
the city meeting of the textile coun-
Gil was called and at it's conclusion the
decision Of the strikers to meet the
mill owners was announced. The con.
ference was arranged by persons not

southern negro preachers have given
dinner in New York to Rev. G. S.

Z Martin fund. This fund, which ap-
proximates $2,0O0,000, is to be used for
educating negro clergymen OF all de-
nominations It is the ultimate inten-
,tion to bring the work to focus in q

WILSON'S IRE AROUSED.
Secretary of Agriculture Takes Of.
fense at Resolution Of Inquiry
introduced by Livingston.

A Washington special says; Con.
grsssman Livingston, with his resolu-
ton to Investigate the governmnt cot
ton estimate which sent the price OF
cotton down, has stirred up VERT
able hornets nest about the agricul.
tural department.
Secretary Wilson and Statistician
Hyde are exceedingly wroth over the
attempt to secure the sources OF i'll
formation on which the disastrous es-
innate was made, and they have oe-
sought the agricultural committee OF
congress to report adversely on the
Livingston resolution. The committee
members, however, assured Mr.. Liv-
ingston that they would report favor
ably and thereby secure the desired
information for congress to consider
when it reconvenes after the holidays.
In a colloquy before the committee
Mr.. Livingston drew out Of Mr.. Hyde
the information that the bureau has
certain sources Of information upon
which the cotton estimate is based.
They are from bankers and precinct
reports.
The point Mr.. Livingston now wish
es to establish is which one Of these
sources is used as the most competent
in view of their widely varying re
ports. It is this information which
certain cotton experts believe will Gre
ate a sensation when it is disclosed.
Statistician Hyde, in moment of an
ger before the committee. declared
that the publication of the sources Of
information would have a serious and
widespread effect, whereupon Secre-
tary Wilson, who was present, immedi-
ately flew into rage and demanded
an executive session for further discus
sion of the subject. Therefore, inter
esting developments are expected
when congress reconvenes.

DEADLY WOOD ALCOHOL.
Sends Ten Men to the Grave and
Holds Fatal Grip on Two Others.
a FrightfuIly Fatal Spree.

A special of Monday from Ashland,
KY, says: Four more have been add
ed to the list oI six dead and two are
reported dying from the effects OF
wood alcohol poisoning at the mouth
of Beaver, Big Sandy, Friday night.
Three push boats with crew of
seventeen men were en- route to Pike
vile, the boats being loaded with
freight. At the mouth of Beaver, five
miles above Prestonsburg, two Of the
boats sank and the men swan and
waded ashore with much Of the
freight. A jug CT wood alcohol was
one OF the articles saved. It was
Ga-i- ard the men chilisd and wet.
Fires were built and supper started.
4 man came along and sold them four
bottles Of moonsnine. They drank
the whiskey and wanted more.
One man suggested drinking the
alcohol
Another said: 1T will kill us; see
the poison label"
One of the crew began mixing
drinks and said:
Come on, let's have our Christmas
now. If it's poison we will all die
together"
They drank the stuff and while at
supper became violently i'll. Two doc
tors were called, but could not relieve
them. The ten dead are:
Captain Henry Spriggs, Of Buffalo;
Field and Shade, Muddy Branch; Sam
Harmon and Henry Spencer, Toms
Creek; Curtis Adams, Magof1n coun-
ty; Henry Salmons, Tom Salmons, Ike

the crew are reported dying and three
are missing.

Teaching Animals to Eat,

Young animals that have never
passed a winter in the feed lot know
of no other food but green pasture.
If they are not taught to eat while on
grass they must be starved to dry feed
when winter approaches. Starving
is indeed expensive under any condi-
ton and is especially so with young
animals. The check in growth, the
going backward may not be overcome
until grass comes again and the work
and food given for winter goes for
naught. 4 gradual change by giving
fodder and grain while on grass is
much preferable to sudden changes.

An old iron sink makes an excellent
dust bath if raised little distance
from the earth to insure dryness, and
filled with mixture Of dry garden
soil, road dust and ashes and little
sulphur. 1t should be placed where
the sun will strike it as much as pos
sible during the short days Of winter. :
If the dusting material is thoroughly
dryed it will not freeze.
This is the time Of year when ene-
mics of all kinds are most likely to
visit the poultry yards. Traps may
be set for minks, weasles, skunks.
foxes, and sharp watch must be kept
for the two-legged marauders. 1t is
not difficult to arrange the henhouse
doors SO that when the door is opened
a bell will be rung in the dwelling
house, connection being made with q {
cord, or better, a fine wire.
Scatter the grain. well in litter to-.
insure exercise when the fowls are I
feeding.
It is good plan to feed two OF three
kinds Of fine grain at one time, thus
assisting digestion and securing more
exercise than in feeding one large
Kind, such as corn. 81
The seed Of Kafir corn is excellent
as an exercise grain. It is small and;
hard to find, and keeps the fowls

young birds for winter laying. They
should be shut in the house over night,
and next morning be moved out on TO
the stubble. "A piece Of six foot wire
netting should be placed around the
house for a day or so, until the birds
get used to their new quarters. The
house should be moved frequently; one
on wheels is best for the purpose. They
require very little feeding; in fact
they need only to> be fed when the
weather is wet, as they cannot then
go about in search Of food. II farm
ers knew the value Of their stubbles for
this purpose, think more would make
use of them. They not only do the
birds good, but it improves the land
considerably, as they find a large
amount Of insects and slugs, which
would do harm to the growing crop
next year. Where the late chickens
have been hatched, if they can be put
on the stubbles, they Will grow much
faster and keep more healthy.

EXPERIMENT SUCCESSFUL
Cotton Manufacturers Declare They
Cannot Secure Sufficient Home
Labor and are Forced to
Employ Outsiders.

The Introduction of foreign labor
into the cotton mills Of South Caro-
lima, says a special from Columbia,
marks a new era in the cotton manu-
featuring industry. This departure has
been made necessary by the scarcity
of mill labor, due to the high prlce Of
cotton drawing the present help back
to the farms
An organized movement on the part
of the cotton mill interests was begun
some time ago and as result foreign
help is being brought to the leading
mill centers in the state.
Lewis w. Parker, president of the
Olympia, Richland and CRANKY mills,
and Of the mills in GreenEllle,
states that he is entirely satisfied with
the experiment in Greenville and is of
the opinion that eventually foreign Ia
bor will be brought to the mills gener-
ally throughout the state.
5 The mill men are delighted with the
seadiness and. reliability Of the new
help and the foreigners, many Of
whom are well educated, seem to be
pleased with their new work and sur
roundings.
It is said tina. one-third Of the SPIN
dies are lying idle in the state because
OF the insuficiency of the supply Of
labor and it is this condition that has
forced the mills to look elsewhere for
help.
