As to Flat Ton Mines.

]. c. Maben, president of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company. has issued instructions to the officers at the Flat Top mines penitentiary that there is to be no distinction between State and county convicts. In let ter to pr. Bragg, of the State convict board, MT Maben writes that he was not aware of the fact that there was much if any difference in the food furnished the county eonvicts and that furnished the State unfortunates. The bills for the food provided for the county convicts show that the best or everything has been purchased right along.
 There are about ITO convicts of the various counties now being worked at Flat Top and the amount or provisions purchased, according to the bills shown has been sufficient. Fresh meat is furnished these men quite often during the month while bacon and other salt meat is purchased from the Armour Company in good quantity. Chief Clerk Tait of the convict board spent a day or two al Flat Top the past week and 1t is believed that he will make a report to pr. Bragg that will be convincing.
 investigations as tO conditions at Flat Top have been made from time to time by representatives Of counties who hire their Conv1cts to the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company and thc report sent up from Mobile county not being sufficient etc, is first that has been heard of since Flat Ton has been established. MT. Maben, nresident of the Company, will make a personal visit to the place in the next few days.

"This is the way of the common place mans ethical immortality. The influence we wield over others is constant, silent comes out of our inner souls, our deepest selves.

The lives that are touched by us, touch, in turn, other lives. all infinitum, and so we travel on Ind speak on.
 The things we speak are either to bless or to curse the world. A bad man is the worst curse that can strike A. community. Better a thousand times never to have lived than to travel over the country, undermining faith, chill ing love. blighting hope, destroying character, scattering disease. death and moral disaster wherever we go.

been the only difficulty, It is probable
that the sea-level project would have
been adopted but when 1t Is under

Culebra cut was a secondary matter.
In the sea-level plan the accumulated
mood waters OF the Chagres were to
have been let on gradually through
sluices into the canal itself, produc-
ing at times a current as high as
