MOBILE PHYSICIAN SAYS
 CONNECTS ARE MISTREATED

that county conviets are whipped on the slightest provocation.
 As soon as the matter was called to the attention of Dr. Bragg he began an investigation. Writing Treasurer George Stone of the Mobile revenue board, on April ?, lie informed him that the whole ground would be gone over and every thing possible to be done would be done He assured him that the state board would cooperate with the county boards In every ward possible to ferret out and break up any evil He characterizes the county convict system as "a stench in the nostrlls of all decent men,, and notes that he has been lighting it for years.
 Yesterday, however, Dr. Brgg saw the publication of the report of Dr. Ward and al once wrote President M H. Hol- eombe of the Mobile heard that 1t would have the effect. he feared. of nullifying all lse eould do in the way of bettering matters. As soon as il is known that an investigation is being made all evi- dence will be covered np and nothing will be gotten. he fears. However, he Is going ahead and hopes to bring about better things than those charged by the Mobile physician
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-04-05

Montgomery. April -(Suecial)-Dr Shirley Bragg, president of the state board of convict inspectors. is making an investigation of rather sensational charges made by pr N. G. Ward county physician at Mobile, regarding the work ing of Mobile county eonVicts at Flat Top mines, owned and operated by the SlossSheffield Steel and Iron company of Birmingham. Attention was called to this alleged infraction by members of the Mobile revenue board and Dr. Bragg at once took il up. He is very sorry, however, that the report of pr. Ward has been made public as it will be hard to get any information now he thinks. after attention has been called to the reputed conditions.
 In this report pr. Ward charges that the Mobile county men. with others of their class are worked without proper food and water supply and not given enough 10 eat. He said that he saw the men al supper when they had each two small slices of bacon, tin cup of water and d wash tub full of cooked rice for l70 conviets. He said they had to eat with their fingers and that no knife. fork or spoon was provided. On the other side of a lattice were the state eonviets. said Dr. Ward They had he continued, ii pan of beans meat tin cup of coffee, and two pieces of corn bread one inch thick and about three by four square. Each person was provided with knife. fork and spoon Dr. Ward also inti- mates that whipping Is excessive saving

Man at the Flow.

From the Atlanta Journal.
 Just thought In recognition of fel- low who seldom gets into the news papers. He doesn't make much news He knows mighty little about the city wavsa of making money. He has fine liking for clean financial methods and a hearty seorn for all that Is crooked Perhaps it is his manner of living that makes him want to be honest. Let that man see a problem play. one of those things that serve 10 satisfy the Jaded appetite of metropolitan people, and yoiru find a splash of red on his tanned cheek. and he will wonder how II IS pos slble for women to be present. Tell him about bribery and stock jobbing and franchise-stealing and few of the thousand forms of gouging the public and you will jar his faith in the natural goodness of humanity.
 Just now this type of good American citizen Is following a piow. It is hard work. It puts big ache in the back and callous on the hands. It destroys the complexion. It calls for brown overalls and perspiration The man Is happy in his work He whistles as he trudges along in the furrow He clucks to the horses and finds joy in the freedom of his life. He doesn't go into raptures over green fields and singing brooks and songs of birds. They are d part of his environ ment They are routine but he loves them just the same But he feeds the world. He makes existence possible. He Is the head of the procession in which are marching the doctor, the lawyer. the banker, the idler. He is the fountain head of wealth and prosperity. He is the cred itor of humanity.

No Sense of Humor.

From Harper's Weekly.
 An old Georgia darl1y owned small and ancient mule, but which, at cas- ual question as to the price at which 1t was held, became suddenly endowed with all the virtues of the best blood of Kentucky.
 But he is at least twenty years old, uncle,' the would-be purchaser protested.
 Dat mule?" Uncle Nose said, in dignantly No, sahl Elf dat mules mo an six vars ole, An hopes he dies fo' mawnin'i''

FASHION ON THE EAST SIDE.
Imagination of Orient Displayed in
 Signs in Shops.

From the New York Sun.
 A man who will travel through the streets of the Eastsde can pick up much information from the signs in the shop windows that will convince him that the Eastsiders are particular when it comes t1 clothing. One of these advertisements reads: ''The most delightfully."- artistic, elegant, fashionable, swagger suits of perfect En- glish tweed ever offered in New York, s35O to $5.Oo"
 Why should a Bowery boy hesitate to buy when he sees such suit at such a price? Another clothier grows conh- dential and reveals a secret which, if it spread around town. might hurt some one's business. His sign says:
 Mems suits and boys. rich Fifth avenue tailor sold us his stock for song. Come In and buy the suits intended for the four hundred. Prices, s2 to s19"
 The following notice ought to draw trade from all over town, if 1t is not ex aggerated. IL says:
 Some of the richest. daintiest French Iadys Underwear ever imported to Amer ica. A few left at 30 cents per garment" :" In the shop around the corner diminu- tive Hebrew stood rubbing his head. In his window a hand-painted card revealed
 
 This suit sS&. It was made for a wealthy banker, but he died. I bought it. Dc you want it-cheap?'
 One had to peer down into a darkened areaway to read the next sign. It was a pathetic appeal reading;. Come in and see my underwear It's very low this week.
 If the notice referred to the health of the article 1t should have been removed speedily to the fresh air and sunlight; but the man who starts to make jokes with solemn East Side merchant about his business is unwise
 There was a sort of fiippant tone in the next appeal, but the advertisement may have drawn business, which is all the merchant demands of it. It read:
 es-Ladies-Ladies.
 Look at these stockings--lisle thread How would they look on you at IS cents The ladies evidently thought they would look pretty fair. because the store was crowded with customers. It was . small store
 Even the oredulous East Slider might doubt the accuracy of a notice posted in the window of shoe dealer, whose shop would scarcely hold ten medium sized people. His advertisement announced:
 'I bought the entire stock of mann moth department store in Pittsburg which failed. Going from 65 cents to $.sO."
 Common prose wasn't good enough for still another tradesman. His genius soar ed and the divine afflatus produced this:
 When buying hats and shoes or collars If you give to me your dollars
 Money I will for you save
 And so much more you then will have 
 From the last notice picked up per son might assume the East Siders wer, prone to deceive In the matter of shirts It said
 If you can't afford shirt buy a iron, here Ten cents each All colors'

Giants of Trinity.

Mary Edith Grswold, in Sunset Magazine
 The placer mines of Trinity, Cal, were discovered by Major Pearson B. Reading who had a grant to the land from the Mexican government. But the big migra- ton did not begin till 51. when a man, named Weaver, struck rich '.diggings in what afterwards became known as Weaver basin. In that year the pan and rocker were supplanted by the Tong tom.' which consisted of one sluce box md the tailngs went into an iron caldron full of holes. The coarse stuff was fork ed out with a sluiee fork and the fine dirt and gold went through the holes and into a box containing rifles. During the next three years diverse and sundry changes were made in the method The ground was so rich that claims which paid only fifty dollars a day were aban- doned for better ones. In '52 some ditches were dug and small sluice boxes, ten or twelve inches wide, were built. The earth was shoveled into the boxes and the water running through carried the gravel and dirt off and left the gold in the bot .om between the rifles. In 53 slucing legan. The dirt was loosened with a pick and water carried to it in boxes This was called ground slulcing. Fly lraulic power was first used in 54
