 Election Channels

 Ensey.

the city today numerous groups or men were gathered discussing pontedly but withal cool and collectedly the results and aftermath of the election, particularly that of Jefferson county, which has con | trolled the minds and hearts of the ciu- zenship for so many weeks.
 Much of the fire and heat which has been so prominent is gone, the red feath CT has disappeared and coat lapels con tain no rooster button. The ma-. of ve- tory is iubilant and the man of defeat, self contained The why's and wherefores that lead to victory or defeat are liber- ally explained by the knowing ones and divers expressions. such as 'I told you so," 'I knew 1t month ago. etc. were cast about generously. "Ifs" big and numerous are handed out promiscuous- 1 ly by both sides But the city altogether is fast merging into the even trend, and 1 the relns of the business life are being taken up again. Politics is laid on the shelf for a short time at least. The busy wheels of manufacture are merrily bug zing, iron and steel are being made, and the usual activity characteristic of the i Steel City is apparent. The battle is
 
 and both sides arc due words of com mendation for the masterly efforts put forth in the hour of battle. The Higdon forces in Ensley are quite joyous in the hour of victory, and their joy is well merited. Tie managers all worked hard and persistently. and their efforts have been crowned with well-deserved success. While the Colonels followers here ex- | pressed confidence of success and predict I ed a majority of the votes, the returns were even better than the most sanguine had anticipated The Stiles brigade worked just as hard and just as faith l fully as did their opponents, but they were unable to stem the tide that swept not only through Ensey, but which rolled overwhelmingly throughout the county. The Htgdon managers and their sup i porters are receiving many congratula- 1 tions today, and the Stiles men willingly l take off their hats to their worthy vic- tors.

 New Accounting System Installed.
 A new accounting system, which took effect on the first of the current month, | has been installed at the various works of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail 1 road company in this city. This includes | the steel mill, the blast furnaces, the | foundry and machine shops, the construc- tion department the labor gangs, etc.
 Hereafter every employe of the com pany, from the general superintendent l down to the water boy, will wear brass badge that will be numbered and en- | tered on the time book opposite the name of the wearer. This number, as given, will | follow the employe in his daily work no matter in which department he is em- | ployed Heretofore, when an employe | worked in more than one department 1t | became necessary for the timekeeper to l enter his name on his books just as many times as he changed jobs: but on 1 the basis of the new system the name will appear only one time. The wearer will turn in his time, say as NO. 10, | instead of as Bill Jones'" as the new | system goes In the event that he loses | his badge or is unable to show his num- l Der. he receives no time accordingly.
 7ooo on Pay Roll Daily. The badges that are out, run from l one to eight thousand, but all or these, however are not employed daily. The es- | innate for the daily roll is placed at 1000, or in other words, 1000 men are employed daily at the works of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company. This includes of course the two shifts, night and day. This furnishes an idea as to how many men are employed in the Steel City, all told when it is shown that 1000 are on the daily pay rolls of the Tennessee Coal, 1 Iron and Railroad company alone. l This does not make mention of the vast army that is employed at the other in- | pany, the Empire Flow company the other smaller plants. It is estimated that | Ensleys daily pay rolls will number 15,OOO men.
 | The new accounting system of the Ten | nessee Coal Iron and Railroad company is proving very efficient, and it is cal l culated to greatly facilitate the work of keepers office. IL will call for a larger amount of the confusion and trouble which necessarily prevails ill this intri- | catcd work will be ilimnated
 Personal and General. The daily rehearsals of "Enchantment,' l the musical extraYaganza to be given for the benefit Of the public library, are | progressing well and satisfactorily 10 the 1 mana cement The performance will be
