The Fight Against Child Labor.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. l4..-The sec
ond days session of the American
Federation Of Labor convention was
called to order promptly at 9 O'Clock
by President Gompers. He called
John Mitchell, second vice president,
to the chair and James Duncan, the
first vice president, read the annual
report Of the executive council. 1t
gave in detail many of the points COW
cred in the reports of the president,
secretary and treasurer. Two meet
incs of the council were held during
the year, the last occurring in this
city On Saturday night. At these
meetings many jurisdictional dis
putes were brought up and recon-
mendations made, most of which have
been complied with.
The coppersmiths made application
for a charter but it was denied and
the organization was urged to affiliate
with the amalgamated sheet metal
workers international alliance. Ar
rangemcnts have been made for the
consolidation of the two organizations.
In the matter of the protection OF
children, the executive council had
bills introduced in the legislatures OF
many states, particularly in the South,
prohibiting the employment OF child
rem in mills, factories, mines and IN
dustrial establishments. Some pro-
gress was made but results during the
year were not entirely satisfactory.
President Gompers was authorized to
enlist the assistance of other organ
izations in securing the passage OF
legislation in all states prohibiting
the employment of child labor.
1t was decided that in the future
the executive council shall not inter-
fere in disputes between labor 'organl-
cations unless the. unions involved
have exhausted all means to bring
about an adjustment Of the differ
ences.
An assessment of one cent a mem
Der week for period of four weeks
was levied on the entire membership
of the federation for the benefit of the
International Typographical Union IN
its efforts to esablish an .eight-houl
work day in the job and commercial
printing establishments in the United
States and Canada.

Awoke a Full Pledged Soldier.

New York. Sleep 6Vercatie him In
San Francisco. He awoke in Honold1
lu, prisoner in guard house, wear
ing the kahki fatigue uniform OF a
private in the United States Army
made to serve year in the army, lat
er convicted as deserter. He had not
the least recollection Of enlisting in
his country's service. His dazed eyes
looked out on strange land. He had
lost all trace of time. Even his name
had been changed.
The man who had these weird expe-
fielicss is Frank ]. Belyea in the army
records. He lives in Greenpoint, L. 1.
when he is at home: He-admitted that
Belyea is not his right name. He is
a graduate Of a well known Eastern
university and went west soon after
taking his degree in engineering.
For time he was employed as a
civil engineer. Then he tried his hand
as cowboy He was miner and
prospector with indifferent success.
December; 1901, found him in San
Francisco. Christmas was only two
days off, and the bright lights Of the
city blinked a wicked temptation to
him to begin the celebration of the
day thus early. The temptation was
accentuated by the feel of comfort
able roll of bills in his pocket. His
last venture had been little pros
pecting speculation in the mountains
in California. The roll contained close
to $500-a Christmas just two days
away!
He met friends by the score. Every
body seemed to be his friend. He dim
ly remembers falling In at last with
a squad Of merry making soldiers, pri-
Yates from the Preside. They took
him to their arms and told him he was
their long lost friend.
When he awoke he was in the guard
house at Honolulu. Later he was
courtmartialed and convicted as de-
serter Helyea says:
"Exactly year to the day an order
came from Washington to discharge
me, as there was no record to show
that I had ever enlisted. went to
General Hughes, who was in command
and asked him how much pay I was
to receive for the time I had been
compelled to serve in the army. He
told me there was nothing coming to
me. ~

The proposition to establish a Mis-
sissippi life insurance company has
definite form and canvas of the state
is being made to secure the necessary
stock and applications for insurance.
1t is proposed to call it The Lamar
Mutual Life Insurance Company OF
Mississippi. It will be mutual com
pany in every sense of the word. A
company Of, for and by the policy
holders. While laws ofthe state require
that capital stock Of $4,000 shall be
paid in, in addition to this, $4,000
will be paid in as a surplus to insure
the company going through the first
three years without impairment. This
capital and surplus will be retired just
as soon as the surplus reaches the linn
itations placed on it by law. Then il
will be mutual company from every
standpoint. The policy holder will
elect officers and control their own
company. All profits will go to policy
holders, there being no stockholders
Ito share as long as they desire before
making division. Splendid headway
is being made, the people being anx-.
ious to patronize a home company.
Organization will be effected in Janu-
ary and business commenced.

Midshipmen Reduced.

Annapolis, Md -Midshipmen A. W.
Fitch and Leigh Noyes, who acted as
referee and simekeeper respectively
in the fight between Branch and Meri-
wether, have been reduced to the
ranks from their positions as cadet
lieutenants. These two, with four
young men who acted as seconds, are
not regarded as having received their
punishment for their part in the af-
fair.

The first Saturday in December has
been designated as the day for cleo
ton Of officers for the various divis-
ions of the Mississippi division of the
Southern Cotton Association. The
people are urged to attend these meet
ings and select good and active men
to ell the places during the year to
come. President Clark says: ~ feel
sure that all f. -minded men will
agree with re th;e the Southern Cot
ton a ISOLATION has accomplished
some good. That much more can be
accomplished by a;better organization
I feel assured y Those who have kept
track Of what has been accomplished
by he Association wifi heartily agree
with Mr.. Clark, and more; those who
have kept an eye on the organization
in the Association here is Hon. Wal
ter Clark, and that largely to his effort
with the efficient cooperation Of Sec
retafy Woods, is due the success of
the movement. In short time it will
be necessary to elect a president for
the whole Association and we of Mis-
sissippi, who are aware of the intensi-
ty of purpose and freedom from mer-
cenary motives which characterizes
the action of Mr.. tClark, hope to see
him placed at thef head of the Asso-
citation SUCH actibn would not come
so much to Mr.. Clark as an honor as
it would be an honor to the Associa-
ton.

The st. Louis Republic in splendid
article gave much credit to the work
Of the textile school at our A. &. M.
College. This article has already been
reproduced in large number of the
state papers. That is well and good.
Mississippi has proven pioneer in
more than one good work and prom
ises to be a more pronounced leader
in the future. The textile school is
along the right lines. At the present
time is necessary to send to New
England for experienced men to sue
cessfully operate our cotton mills.
This is not right We should and will
educate them here at home and give
these good salaries to our home boys.
The cotton manufacturing industry
is in its infancy as far as Mississippi
is concerned, but it will not always
be thus. We will eventually manu-
facture all Of the cotton we raise and
then there will be work for the young
men who are now learning the intrica-
cies of the business. Learn our young
men to handle all propositions arls-
ing and then it will not be necessary
to send away for men when, they are
needed. This what is meant by
"Greater Mississippi"

Mississippi has enough idle land to
support three times the present pop
ulation, and more than that under the
improved methods of farming. What
we need most is good farmers who
will buy small farms and cultivate
them. This is the solution Of the
yexed labor problem that is at pres
ent the cause of so much worry to our
land owners. Cut the large farms up
into small farms and sell to those who

The Mississippi Industrial Exposi-
ton is in full blast at Jackson from
Wednesday of this week and will run
through until Saturday Of next week.
The display of products from various
portions of the state are excellent
and well worth coming miles TO see,
even by our own people. Everything,
commencing with corn and cotton and
on down the long list of horticultural
and other products, is given splendid
showing The live stock exhibition is
attracting even more attention than
the exhibits in other sections Of the
fair. Several hundred head Of cattle,
horses, hogs, sheep goats and other
animals are in the show ring and pro-
nounced as good as can be shown by
any state in the union. Every fea
ture of the exposition has been ar
ranged so that there will be no hitch
and the managers expect to get
through without trouble of any kind
1t is a great event for the State of
Mississippi, and should be made per-
manent and under the direction of the
state itself.

Prof. A. B. Mckay, horticulturist
at the A. & M. College, issues warm
ing to the people Of the state, to be-
ware of the fruit tree peldlers who
are now travelling about over the state
and selling trees at enormous prices.
He says that many Of these fellows are
not only selling trees for several times
their worth, but many are selling infe-
rior stock. Agents sell Elberta peach
trees for ST. each when they can be
bought from home nurseries for $l.50
per dozen. Then too, the spreading
Of the San Jose scale, is largely at
tributed to foreign nursery stock.
There are nurseries in Mississippi with
the facilities of furnishing stock for
home consumption, and they are GER
tainly deserving of the business. They
offer stock that is acclimated and it
the tree should not prove true, the
nursery is near and the trouble can be
corrected. Buy your trees from home
people if possible and thereby encour-
age the keeping of our money in the
channels of trade at home.

A pulp mill. shingle mill and brick

Tippah county will likely have a
fair next year. The Ripley Sentinel
under the able management OF Hon.
A. C. Anderson, has taken the matter
up and is pushing it. Expressions
from prominent citizens Of the coun-
ty favoring the proposition are being
received and published. There is no
investment that Tippah county could
make that would prove more remuner-
ative. BY all means have a fair next
fall.

As has been remarked before by the
writer; Mississippi is one Of only five
states in the Union that are entirely
tree from grating in high places. This
distinction is accorded by a well
known writer who is in position to
know. Now our people should think
more Of this distinction than would
at first appear. 1t means that we are
still free from the despicable polltl-
cal CRATER who.b questionable means
has himself elected to an office and
.hen by more questionable means uses
the functions Of that Office to his gain.
Such action has become so common IN
many states that it is little thought of
and the practice is becoming more gen
aral year by year. Let us thank God
that such is not the case in M1ssisslp-
pi. and at the same time be ever alert
to the first symptoms of such methods
in our state. Nip it in the bud. When
an official, be he high or low, is de-
tected in anything that smacks OF
graft, promptly and without ceremony
relegate him to the rear or the pen
itentiary where he belongs. 1t is the
duty of every good citizen to keep an
open eye for such reprehensible prac-
tices and never allow them to gain
foothold in our state. Keep out
strict watch.
The Kemper herald. (Scooba, Miss.) 1875-1908, 1905-11-23

The writer has been contending for
this kind Of an organization for ten
years and is Of course very much graf
fled at the turn affairs have taken.
It means that in the near future that
our people will quit sending their mil
lions to the north and keep it there
at home to aid in the development OF
our great country. That we will not
in the future make contributions to a
campaign fund and have the gigantic
money corporations using the money
sent them in trust to thwart our hon
est efforts. That our money will no
]onger flow into channels creating COM
binations that will almost take a rev.
olution to overthrow. Then it means
that, being strictly mutual, we will
not have the grasping tendency OF
money-mad fnanciers, even among our
own people, to fight in the future. 1t
means that we will have Mississippi
company in which the profits 90 to the
policy holder and to him alone. 1t
will be economically and honestly
managed in the interest of the policy
holder.

To find an Arizonian in this neck of

would be like finding a little big, shore

simply doesn't exist in this community.
1t would be like hitching up the super

wheel of progress with Arizona pulling
the load. It is just as hard to find a
housekeeper who doesn't want a good
