Much Used statistics.

Senator Bacon. of Georgia, was rnak- ing a speech on tn eproposed Erie ship canal and one of his attentive listeners was the new senator from Maryland, MT. Whyte. It was noticed that Sena- tor Whyte was unusually interested, and when the Georgia senator had concluded the Marylander went over to call upon him. Senator, where did you get those figures you sub mitted to the senate?" asked the new Maryland senator. T don't know ex- actly where they came from Sena- tor Bacon replied, but my secretary dug them up somewhere and I am will ing to vouch for them, for he is a very careful and painstaking fellow" T can vouch for them, too answered Senator Whyte, for I used the same figures in a speech on the subject when l was in the senate before" The speech Senator Whyte referred to was one delivered in the senate in 1881.

The Troy Messenger, discussing the subject of a trolley-line to the wire grass region, says:
 The people of this section would like to have connection with Montgomery in this way, but If that does not come the wiregrass towns will sooner or later have electric railway ne1tion between themselves and let the bus mess beneflt them alone.
 That is a hint to Montgomery to give serious attention to a project of which we have heretofore had something to say. Unless something new is discov- cred or invented in the way of me ehanical power. electricity is bound to be the tractive power of the world, and that before many years. A traction line or lines down into the rich agricul- tural and horticultural region of South east Alabama Is bound to pay, and it will pay Montgomery to aid in build Ing 1t. If that Is not done it is not i'm probable, as The Messenger intimates. that the fast growing towns of that re- zion will build lines to connect each other, and one effect of that would be to defect in other directions and to other markets the trade that ought to come to Montgomery. We ought to have the line from and to our city.

 "The Federation of woman's Clubs of Alabama. by Mrs. C. P Orr. by Alex London. her representative.
 This agreement was attached to copy of the bill as sent to the Legisia- ture, and this bill was passed as 1t was agreed to by the two committees.
 The bill as originally proposed by the Child Labor Committee Is repro- duoed in full elsewhere on this page. and along side of 1t is the bill as agreed upon in tho conference. which is today the law. It will be seen that there are radical differences: the original bill was greatly modified. Clearly those changes were not the work of Dr. Mur- phy and his associates of the State Committee on Child Labor. Why should they have agreed to notifications. un- less the provisions of the proposed bill had been strenuously opposed by the mill men? There is no mistaking the conclusion that the mill men brought about the notifications. and that MT. Conner was their leader.
 pr. Mnrphy's letter goes into the de- tails of the compromise forced by MT. Conner. He asserts that Mir. Conner was strongly opposed to any sort of child labor Legislation, and that he yielded even to the present incomplete law with intense reluctance" Dr. Mur- phy asserts that MT Conner made tne impression on him or heinz "the most bitter opponent of child labor legisla- ton I have ever known"
 Mir Conner has not met the issue made by Dr. Murphy's letter sauarely He has lodged them. and is still trying to make the people of Alabama believe that he has been misrepresented in this matter The parallel column on this page is the best proof of his child labor record. There is the bill proposed by Dr. Murphy and his committee on the one side, and on the other the law as agreed upon and passed after the conferences with MT. Conner and the mill men. The proof of the changes alleged by MT. Murphy Is internal and automatic Does MT. Conner deny re- sponsibility for these changes? Does he ceny Mir Murphy's statements about his general attitude towards child la bor legislation in 1903? Those are the real questions.

Coustituent worth Having.

Congressman Bowie, of Alabama. has a constituent worth having. One day last week while Chairman Wadsworth. of the committee on agriculture, was reading some letters he had received in reference to the beef investigation the Alabama man produced and read the following: Dear Bowie: I note by the papers that member, of the house of representatives has recently killed himself because of inability to meet his financial obligations. In order that you may not meet the same fate I herewith hand you a check for $10 and have the honor to inform you that there is another ten where this one came from if you really need it."

Birds Nesting In a Car.


 A family of sparrows has just gradu- ated from queer home down in the Louisville and Nashville Railroad yards. They grew up in nest built car. The car has been in use and mother sparrow must have taken the number of the car for she was with the children when 1t became time to world. The train of which the car was a part had come in from the north and the attention of one of the Montgomery yardmen was attracted by seeing young bird escorted from un- der the car by an older one. He in- vestigated and found a nest built in the rods above the trucks.

Candidate for Secretary of state.

Hon. IF. s. ID. Mallory, Chairman or the State Democratic Executive Com mittee. has received a letter enclosing an endorsed check for S30 from W. E. Sorsby of Birmingham. The $50 is for the purpose of having MT. Sorsbys name placed on the State ticket as a candidate for Secretary of State.
 From the letter head 1t seems that MT. Sorsby is a member of the real es- tate firm of Sorsby & Berry, whose place of business is at 2113 Third Ave- nue, Birmingham. By many here 1t has been thought that Frank Julian would be the only candidate for the position and the announcement of MT Sorsby will very likely cause the friends of that gentleman some surprise.
