an expensive exterior.

ed freely by old time Democrats that
he could get the nomination from the
sound Democrats next time If he
wanted 1t. His remarkable headway
in Virginia was illustrated Saturday
night in q sensational way. when AL.

sionate appeal to Democrats of vir-
ginia to stand by the President In
his demand for regulation of rail-

Old time Democrats applauded fev-
cry reference to the President
and when the speaker declared
that he needed the aid of the
southern Democracy, that once
the bitter foe of Democracy, he
had seen the light and had been con.
yerted even as Paul on his way to
Damascus. the audience cheered
long and enthusiastically. The
unique position which Mr.. Roosevelt
occupies in the hearts of Virginia
Democrats is shown in the fact that
the meeting was purely political
rally and the other speeches were
devoted to denunciations of the Re.
publican party and all its leaders ex
cent Roosevelt.

SERIOUS. CAVE.lN
ON WALNUT AVE.
SINKING OF STREET OPPOSITE
KELLEY BROTHERS. LuM-
BER PLANT CAUSES BAD

A serious cave-in occurred on Wal.
nut avenue, Saturday. opposite Kel-
ley Brothers lumber yard. When
the 12-inch sewer was put in under
the street, timbers were put in to
support the ground above the pipe.
Because Of faulty laying of the pipe
or defect in the pipe itself the
ground had evidently washed enough
to weaken the supporting timbers and
the street fell for a distance of so or
GO feet, smashing the sewers and
leaving hole eight or ten feet deep
The fall has made serious mess of
considerable section of the avenue,
and not little expense will be en-.
tailed in its repair. 1t is expected
that special meeting of the coun-
Gil will be called to-day or tomorrow
to take action in the matter.

"A short description would hardly

done by Americans or Europeans until
the Filipinos are taught to work, as
they are now like children. 1t Is a

of the natives toward the present form
of government, the Senator said:

Secretary Bonaparte's tribute to
the kicker as the only means by
which parties in this country are
kept in order is something hand
some. He thus vindicates the wis
dom of the fable of the frogs who
fell into the milk can. One of them
padded about a bit and then sank
to the bottom. The other kept
hitting out with all fours until his
activity had churned the milk in
to butter. Then he got a foothold
on one of the Jumps, stepped out
of the milk can and was saved.
Moral: Keep kicking!

LABOR IS REQUIRED

The Manufacturers Record gives |
up considerable space in it's last
issue discussing the pressing need
of labor in the South. 1t publishes
editorial and news articles from
newspapers in all sections of the
Southland, showing that laborers
of all classes are needed and de-
clares editorially that the South
must look elsewhere than within
her own borders for additional
workers. It holds that this section
must correct the situation by the
bringing in of laborers from other
localities.
According to the figures of The
Record, there is room for 10000
workers in the South alone.
For instance, at Norfolk, as at
many another point, there is activity
in building operations, but they
are hampered by the lack of skill
ed and unskilled workmen in all
the trades, one contractor being
able to find only 80 laborers to do
the work of 100.
In the Birmingham district 20, =
900 men could be used immedia-
tely, but they are not available.
| A cannery at Charleston needing
| 400 shuckers can obtain but 175.
Negro farm hands in Mississippi
are paid in some cases double the
wages of five or six years ago, but
a sufficient number cannot be had
at any price.

presses at Augusta are short OF
