Hours of Work in Mills.

Seyenty-three mill presidents and
officials recently met at Greenville, S.
C.. and adopted resolution providing
that the running time of mills in South
Carolina shall be reduced July l to
sixty-four hours a week; two years
later to sixty-two hours. and on July
[, 1910, to sixty hours, with no reduc-
lion of wages. Nearly two and half
million spindles were represented, and
The ten-hour day has therefore been
adopted in the mills of the chief cot
.on mill state of the south. This is a
great step forward, for what South
Carolina has fully adopted and deter.
mined upon the other states in the
Iouth that spin and weave will also
iccept. The Alabama mills should not
hesitate to get in line with the ten
lour movement, and in thai way re-
move a cloud that hangs over southern
nils.

NEGROES AND NIeeERs.

From the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
I'm making some comments on The
Negro, North and South. the Richmond
Times-Dispatch closes its article with,
There are negroes at the north; in the
south there are negroes and negroes
Would 1t not state it better to say there
are 'niggers' in the north; in the south
there are 'niggers and negroes -
Blackstone Courier.
Oh! no. There are negroes at the
north; in the south they are often called
''niggers,' but not In disrespect. Indeed.
1t is OTTER a term of affection. An old
time, "nigger nanny died in Richmond
the other day. In noting her death The
Times-Dispatch said of her:
Aunt Phoebe was one of the old
fashioned kind, as true and as noble a
woman as ever breathed. She was loved
for her many virtues, not only by her
own race, but by hundreds of white peo-
pie In all the relations of life she was
true and loyal. AS a mother as a servant
and as a friend she was a model, and
among the many who will attend her fun
eral there will be no more sincere mourn
and loved her because she was good and
lovable."
On Memorial Day Confederate soldier,
who was visiting Richmond, told the fol-
lowing story: He did not surrender at
Appomattox, and whenrhe returned home
told his father so. His father was en-
barrassed. as he had taken the OATH and
did not feel that he had the right to 'har-
bor'' a Confederate soldier who had not
laid down his arms But a 'nigger man.

Passes and the Rate Bill.

The rate bill will be again revised
by the conferees, and then both Houses
will become revisionists. The public
will simply have to walt in order to
see the result in print.
At this writing an uprising among
railroad employees in behalf of them
selves and their families is attracting
attention. The employees of the Ala
bama Great Southern ask Senators
Morgan and Pettus to get the bill
changed "at least so as to allow each
railroad to furnish transportation free
over its own line to It's own employees
and their families" The movement
is widespread, and as railroad en-
ployes constitute big body of voters
II Is believed the bill will be amended
in the respect of trainmen and their
families. There were $50, $50 steam
railroad employees in the country in
the census year.
The pass system has stood long
time In this country, and 1t cannot
easily or readily be eradicated. The
last battle in Congress over the rate
bill promises to relate to the anti-pass
amendment, and Senator Foraker
hopes. 1t is plain, to extend the revolu-
ton to the rest of the bill.
But he will not succeed. A rate bill
has become from a political point of
view campaign necessity, and one of
some sort will be passed before Con-
gress adjourns. An effort will be made
to pass the bill this week in order to
hasten the final adjournment of the
session.

Great Elnancler.

world" said a fnancler. He Is a man OF
such high reputation for capacity and in
tegrity as to command practically unlim-
tied financial backing. His declaration last
week that there was no intention on the
part of himself and his associates to pub
licly offer securities to cover the cost
Of the railway lines which he is building
in Canada and that the cost would be COW
cred by direct subscriptions to the COM
pany's stock by himself and his friends
drew Wall streets attention to the char
acter of Mr. Hills following. 1t is regard
ed as a most unusual event In the f1nan-
ciai world that the building of 1900 miles
of railway, costing necessarily great
many millions, should be financed without
any public requests for subscription to
securities representing the enterprise. 1t
has long been recognized. however. that
Mr.. Hill has a following which not only
is possessed of very great wealth, but
has at the same time unlimited confidence
In Mr.. Hills ability as railroad manager.
Mr.. Hills method of financing this Canad-
ian undertaking adds one more to many
previous incidents which go to show the
financial resources of the Hill coterie.

First Gun of 1906

George e. Chamberlain, democrat,
has been reelected governor of Ore
gon Four years ago his plurality was
but 276; this year 1t is about 1000. But
the republicans elected United States
Senator by about five thousand plural
ity. and two congressman, one by
large plurality, and the other by
"safe" one.
These facts would seem to deprive
the Oregon election of significance in
the respect of the trend of public senti-
ment But when the entire case is
considered, 1t is seen that a great
change has come to Oregon. In 1900
Mckinley had a plurality in that state
of 1874. and in 1904 Roosevelt's plu-
rality was 42,9s4, Against that great
adverse result the democrats have
fought until they have reelected Gov
ernor Chamberlain, and rendered the
6ntlre Sldle lighting SiouhN- - 49,
tinuance of gains will render the state
safely democratic in 1908. Public SEN
timent in national matters Is certainly
in a shifting condition when the dem
ocrats can re-elect governor In
state that gave Roosevelt 42,994 plu-
rality.
The prohibitionists had ticket in
the field in Oregon, and woman sur
frage and eight other referendum
propositions were submitted to the peo-
pie. Woman suffrage was voted down
by the Oregon men voters.
Two of the 3S6 members of the Six
tieth Congress were elected in Oregon.
and more will be elected when Yer
mont votes on September 4, and Maine
on September 10.

Crowded Elevator.

"An elevator was coming down in the
First National Bank building the other
day." remarked citizen. "A pretty good
crowd had got on about the eighth floor.
Two ladies occupied the whole center of
the car, the men standing backed up
against the sides all the way round.
1T was apparent that the ladies need
ed all the room, for their fresh fluffy
white dresses, audible with starch, stood
out at the bottom like lamp shades. At
each successive stop, however, people
kept getting on, the ladies reluctantly
giving way inch by inch until the car
was getting to be damned Still another
stop was made and the ladies protested
that they didn't see why the elevator
boy wanted to let any more get on, That
there wasn't room for anybody as 1t
was. About six moro passengers were
added. When the bottom was reached the
ladies were hardly recognizable They
looked about four sizes smaller Their
skirts dropped and hung like closed UNI
brellas. One of the men unlSindly re-
marked, 'Thaf's the way with women.

children under Il years Of age. and the
mills in this state should likewise be-
gin to pay attention to our own law.
The employment of any child under the
age of Il is unlawful in Alabama, and
it should be ended.
In progressive South Carolina the
mill presidents asked their legislature
to pass a compulsory school-attendance
law applicable to all children under II
years of age, and they also asked it to
provide for the registration of all births
and marriages. The entire action of
the South Carolina mill men is full of
promise, for it carries to tens of thous-
ands hope and relief, and its pro-
gramme is a credit to the humanity
and good sense of the south as whole.

EDITOR BORROWED A GUN.
His Delinquent Subscribers Suddenly
Decied to Pay Up.

From the New York Tribune.
The editor OF a Kansas country paper
has found a way of persuadng the de-
linquent subscriber. 1t was quite acct
dental. He had borrowed a rifle recently
and he started up the main street of the
town to return the weapon to it's owner.
The delinquent subscribers got 1t into
their heads that he was on the war
path. and every one he met insisted on
paying what he owed him. One man
wiped out a debt of ten years. standing.
On his return to his office he found a
load of hay, Is bushels of corn, 10 bush
els of potatoes, a load of wood and a
barrel of turnips that aid been brought
in. All the country editors are now try
ing to borrow Winchesters.

Rivers and Harhors.

Five great rivers sweep through or
along the counties of this state-the
Tennessee. the Coosa, the Alabama,
the Tombigbee and Warrior, and the
Chattahoochie. Scarcely one of the
sixty-seven counties of this state is
more than a days ride from one of
these noble streams.
But every one of them needs to be
improved in order to afford navigation
the year round. The Warrior and Tom
bigbee will soon be opened, and SO
will the Tennessee, and in time the
Alabama, the Coosa and the Chatta-
hoochie will be rendered navigable.
Not single state in this union has
so many miles of noble rivers-not one.
This is emphatically the river state,
and river improvement should there
fore be in 1t a great and dominant
issue. This is why Richard II. Clarke
and John H. Bankhead long held a
place on the rivers and harbors com
mittee. This is why Alabama should
persistently demand representation on
that committee. If the chief river
state is not entitled to representation,
what state is? This is why the Mobile
Register urges the selection of George
w. Taylor for the place now held by
Mr. Bankhead, and the Montgomery
Advertiser seconds the motion, as fol-
lows: Personally, all of Mr.. Taylor's
friends would be glad to see him at
the head of the great committee OF
appropriations of which he Is so USE
full a member, but he can do Alabama
more good on the rivers and harbors
committee. Alabama needs him there,
and we believe that he would willingly
forego personal promotion to be of
benefit to the people of his native
state. He is broad-minded and just
and would do full justice to the inter-
ests of all our waterways

This ore came from the original strike
at Round Mountain, and was taken from
a depth of 70 feet
Some weeks ago the same rich ore was
shown here but 1t came from near the
surface, and skeptics said 1t would not
go down. The ore shown today shows
that 1t does go down. and that 1t Is richer
than ever. Many of the samples would
yield more than 800 worth of gold, and
the specimens In the window would easily
produce more than $500 worth of gold.
The ore came from the original strike
owned largely by Lotus and Davis and
incorporated In the Round Mountain Co.
The ledge Is from eight to ten feet
wide, and this ore is found In stringers
down to n depth of rs feet. this being
the depth of the deepest shaft on tho
vein. This vein runs for 2.4o0 feet on the
