Roumania Is lnhablt BY IA bewilder-

modern Roumaninn makes 1t point of
honor to claim descent from the colo

Calling themselves Romuni and their
language Romunte. the proud citizens
seldom draw out a legal document
without some allusion to their founder,
whom they style "the divine Trajan."
The Roumanian language reflects the
composition Of the race and now but

HE BEGINS AT THE BOTTOM

Young George Westinghouse, of
Pittsburg, son of the inventor of
the air brake and a millionaire
many times over, graduated from
Yale last year, aud now he is a
laborer in the Westinghouse air
brake plant. He wears blouse and
jumpers, carries tin dinner pail,
is treated as the other wOrkmen
are treated land is to work his way
through all departments as other
apprentices are required to do.
When he gets through he will
know the business from bottom to
top and will know how TO manage
the plant. Not many sons of rich
men have the nerve and good sense
to avail themselves of the adyan-
tageof the great value of labor and
practical knowledge, but those who
do become not merely the inheri-
tors of wealth but the makers of
wealth, successful managers of
men and leaders of affairs.

CHILD LABOR is LEFT OUT.

Major Chas. E. McGregor IN his
last letter, declining to run on the
disfranchisement issue, calls atten-
ton to the change of the Pope
Brown platform. "What does Mr..
Tapp say about the Brown plat
form?' Mr.. Browns platform in
Guided the child labor bill and
did not include the disfranchise-
ment plank" But the Hoke Smith
platform displaced the plank about
child labor, and has only two
planks, viz; railroads and disfran-
chiSement.
Why was the child labor plank
thrown out? The conference in
Atlanta that shelved Pope Brown
has never taken the public in its
confidence and told why. One is
left to surmise the reasons.
When Hoke Smith spoke in
Griffin he was introduced by Col.
Kincaid, who runs several large
cotton factories, and is enthusi site
for Mr.. Smith. And the Columbus
Ledger tells of the dialogue at the
opera house the night of the joint
debate. An enthusiastic Smith
supporter from the country attend
ed the opera with his merchant
friend, and thus he spol

"Who's thatguy sittin'by Hoke,

"Why that his friend, Mr.. Louis

electric light company, and all the
other big things, and a mighty
good corporation lawyer besides.

fact, he started to run for governor
once himself"
A short silence ensued and the
enthusiastic supporter of Mr.. Smith
turned his eyes once more on the
box occupied by the illustrious
Georgian.
But promptly nudging his city
friend in the sideagain he inquired:

ENTER A PROTEST.
Colored Voters Declare Against Re-
duction in Representation.

A mass meeting was held last evening at
the Metropolitan Baptist Church which was
attended by a large audience. The speakers
were A. W. Scott, II. A. Clarke, Joseph H.
Stewart, a. p. Prolean, contestant for
seat in the Fifty-ninth Cingress, and Rev
". J. Howard
The topic was the proposed reduction of
representation in Congress. Mrs. e V
Priolean and Miss Clarice L. Brown gave
a number of solos which added to the en-
joyment of the evening.
At the conclusion of the program reso-
lutions We're introduced which stated
Measures have been introduced in the
House of Representatives which In effect
are for the purpose of reducing the represen-
tation in the Congress from the several
states of the Union that have disfranehised
citizens of the United States 1t is the
sense of this meeting that we enter our
protest in opposition to the passage of any
measure that viii result in the reduction of
representation in the Congress from any
state.
1T would eliminate the coIored man of
the south from every phase of politics, and
render it possible for the northern eastern
and western states to disfranchse the col
ored voter, and not suffer the loss of a
single representative; it would mean the
elimination of the Colored voter as a factor
In the settlement of political questions in
the future by the diminution of the cleo
toral votes to such a degree that the COL
ored vote of the doubtful states would cease
to be factor in American politics; it would
mean the curtailment of the power of the
southern delegates in republican national
conventions.
The resolutions also called attention to
the contest which is being made by Aaron
p Prioleau for seat in the House of
Representa- from the first South Caro-
lima district, and urged election committee
No. | to seat him
