SHAVE MILL BURNS.
Is Eight Miles From Railroad and Lit
 tie News Is ObtainabIe.

Florence. July 27-(special)- de- stroyed one of the Alabama Slave com pany's mills last night situated just across the state line in Tennessee, The mill is eight miles from the railroad and beyond the fact that the plant was com pletely destroyed no news could be ob- tained.
 The Alabama Slave company of this city owns several mills, all of which are rushed with orders, and the loss Of this one will seriously cripple them in filling orders. The A. l.. Hayes company of Nashville lost a large plant, and this will necessarily mean large reduction in the production of slaves in the Tennessee Alabama district
 The Alabama Slave eompany's plant will be rebuilt at once.

BLOODHOUNDS PURCHASED

Selma, July 7.-(speciaL)-with only four days between this and the election which is to choose a successor to Hon. John Moore as judge of the Fourth cir cult, there is great apathy in Dallas over the contest. greater than ever felt in any election in many years and worthy of comment because generally any sort of election arouses great intetrest in Dallas.
 The cause is, however, easily apparent. Dallas county Is conceded on all sides to MT. Miller, Wileox's candidate. The con test between MT. Miller and Mr. Hogue for the judgeship has been waged entirely in the other four counties of the district. Hale. Bibb, Perry and Wilcox. It is the intention of MT. Miller's friends in Dal- las to make an earnest e..ort to get out a large vote despite the existing apathy and to that end several methods will be adopted

Indian Sch0c! Opened.

The new Fort Hall training
school opened on Monday of this
week and the old art Hall board
ing school was abandoned at 8
O'Clock Monday morning. The
new plant is not quite completed
but nearly enough for Contractor
Owen to accommodate $50 Iniian
children gathered in by Indian
Agent Caldwell. This number
will be augmented by another
hundred within two weeks.
Old Fort Hall, which has been
used for an Indian boarding school
since its abandonment as military
post, will be a thing of the past, SO
far as Government ownership is
concerned, after this. One or two
of the best buildings will be torn
down and re-erected at the agency,
but the greater number will be
issued to the Indians, and will be
removed intact to their various
farms on different parts of the
reservation.

Maine Rolls up 10000.

Portland, Maine, Sept. 13. The
Republicans of Maine were success
tul yesterday, William T. Cobb
being elected governor by a plural
ity which will probably reach 3d.
900. This estimate is based on
returns from three hundred and
hfty out OF FIVE hundred and twen-
ty-two cities, towns and planta-
tions, which give Cobb 71,OS5.
and Cyrus w. Davis (Dem.), 49,
l62. The plurality will probably
be about $500 smaller than that Of
four years ago. All the present
congressman, (Republicans), are
reelected by pluralities of from
5000 to 5000. A noticeable feature
of the falling off of the Republican
plurality was that of Portland
which was about 700. The Demo-
cratic sheriff and the Democratic
senator are elected there.

by the South previous to the war
proved great blunder, and verified
the saying that whom the gods
would destroy they first make
mad
In the light of these historical
facts, which have fully shown the
folly of Free Trade and the wisdom
of Protection, how frothy is the
rhetoric of Bourke Cochran in his
wordy illumination against Protec-
ton, and how false the statements
and illogical the argument of the
ree-Trade press and Democratic
Congressman.
1t is we'll to restate the facts CT
the effects of the war Tariff upon
the industries of the nation, to
show how false are the allegations
made against the system of Protec-
ton.
The time will come when the
schedules will need read djusting,
and it will be proper to make it,
but that is far different from de-
stroying the system which has
been 50 beneficial.

Washington, July %, 1904.
The question is asked: "Who
among our workingmen is willing
to favor a Tariff change which
would reproduce in the country
the stagnation, idleness and distress
of the years following 1898! What
workingman does not see the wis
dom of a Protective policy which
maintains a higher average wage
i'll the United States than that
which obtains in Europe?" Our
myriads of industrial workers will
heartily agree with the President
that Tariff readjustment, when
made, must maintain and not de-
stroy the Protective principle,

Un9entIe Critics.

The campaign the Democrats
are making against the Tariff is
not savage enough to suit Free
Trade journals like the New York
"Times" and Evening Post"
Curiously enough, the only part of
the Tariff plank in the Chicago
platform which these newspapers
cordially admire is the part Bryan
wrote: Protection is robbery"
What they don't like and don't
hesitate to deprecate is Candidate
Parker's gingerly treatment OF the
Tariff in his speech of acceptance.
They seem to think that the head
of the party of Free Trade cuts
queer figure when he begs to assure
the country that there is really no
danger that the Tariff will be rip
ped up SO long as the Republicans
hold majority in the Senate.
The Grimes" and '9Post" refuse
to be calmed or treasured by any
such statement.
Believing, with Bryan, Champ
C)arA, Williams, Bailey, Cochran,
and the rest of the custom house
abolishe1s, that to Protect domestic
labor and industry is felony, they
are unable to understand why Can
didate Parker should refrain fiom

elected, to undertake the SUPPRESSION
of the crime of Protection at the
earliest opportunity. Senate or mo

"Post" seem to forget that it isone
thing to edit Free Trade newspa-
pers and very different thing to
run for the Presidency On the Dem
ocratic ticket. They don't need
votes; Parker does They are
inconsiderate and unkind. If Par
ker should come osit openly for tn
elimination of Projections from on
Tariff system he would scare away
grear many votes among conser
vative business men. To be sane

until after election. Then, il a.
