AN ADVISORY ENGINEER

Adams spoke of the need the county
stood in of an engineer possessed of
technical knowledge which could be
used in bridge and road work. He
pointed out that such a man would
save the county much money. Kauai
and Maui had such engineers. They
saved many expensive mistakes being
made.
The matter was held over until the
next meeting in order that it may be
more fully investigated.
SMITHS GOODBYE.

DO NOT BE A BURDEN.
The Red Cross Pharmacy Gives Some
Good Advice to Readers of
The Commercial,

Many people in Union City are a
burden not only to themselves but to
Others because of indigestion and its
resulting ailments.
The backaches, headaches, distress
after eating, loss of appetite, gulping
up of undigested food and gases, can
all be overcome by the use of Milo ma
stomach tablets.
This remedy is not mere digestive,
it is a positive strengthened of the di-
gestive organs, putting them in shape
so that they can digest any food that
is eaten. Mona is used before meals
and so strengthens the digestive Or
gans, while other remedies are taken
after meals simply to digest the food
without giving permanent relief.
The Red Cross Pharmacy sells MILO
ma in SOC boxes under a positive guar
antee that it will cure or money will
be refunded.

Barn Caught Fire.

The large barn on c. B. Hale's
farm caught fire Sunday night and
would have been destroyed but tor
the assistance of neighbors, about
twenty of whom came in and helped
to put the fire out. A considerable
amount of his corn was damaged.
The barn was insured by Davis,
Bramham & Co. This is the sea-
son of barn burning. With tramps
loa6ng around through the country
a we'll filled barn offers very cozy
lodging quarters, and these pestif-
erous rascals care very little whose
barn they set on FIRE. Farmers
should keep close watch on their
barns and hay sheds. Five barns
were reported by The American to
be destroyed by FIRE last Saturday in
Middle Tennessee with total loss
of about $4,000. These occurred
near Shelbyville, Lynnville and
Bethpage.

SOUTHERN IMMIGRATION.

The immigration Conference in
session in this city is attracting at
tention and electing comment to an
extent that shows that it is regard
ed with interest and that it is ex-
pected to be helpful at least in
pointing out lines of systematic
activity which may lead to good
results. The Atlanta Georgian
says: ''No convention more i'm
portant to the South has assembled
within these recent years, " and the
Georgian, while emphasizing the
need in the South for desirable
immigration, very properly insists
upon the protection of this section
from an inflow of obnoxious immi-
grants. Says that journal:
"How shall we obtain a desirable
class of immigrants for these Gulf
and Southwestern Statesg How
shall we protect the South against
undesirable Immigrants, and how
shall we adapt the deep necessity
of our labor situation to this immi-
grafton question in its wisest and
largest wayG How shall we meet
the great demand of the South for
labor without bringing into this
section races as alien and as unas-

the Pole and the anarchistic ele
ment of Southeastern Europe ant
select our new citizens from th,
races with whom we can affiliate
and with whom, if it should b,
necessary, we could honorabIy ant
wholesomely amalgamate?
"The Georgian is watching with
the keenest interest and anxiety
the deliberations of that great con
vention. While its decision will
not he conclusive, it is expected
at least to map out in part the pol
icy of the South toward the Immi
grafton and la Dor question for
some years to come. And surely
there was never a time and never
an interest which demanded more
of patriotic wisdom and of watch
full patriotism than the RESPONSE
bilities which this convention will
lay upon its delegates. Perhaps
after all, we shall reach no nearer
to wise decision than in follow
ing the example projected upon a
minor scale by South Carolina and
by some of the smaller towns in
Georgia. If we want good immi-
grants we will just have to go after
them, or send after them, and not
trust to an indiscriminate invita-
ton supervised by careless and in
effective consuls at these foreign
points.
"The landing of the Wittekind
at Charleston was the most whole
some and inspiring incident of our
immigration history since the ear
lier colonists. There were among
these immigrants men and women
servants, domestics, laborers and
experts, brought after a careful
selection from the strong German
ic races; and the clamor for them
at Charleston by the better classes
of our people to come into their
homes and industrial enterprises,
was joint declaration of the deep
necessity of our industrial and do
nestle life, and of the eager and
prompt capacity of our people to
recognize and to absorb the best
things as soon as they hove in
sight.
''We cannot imagine greater
mistake than to throw open our
doors to indiscriminate immigra-
ton. We believe that for ten or
twenty years at least the South
must follow the example of the
Carolinians in selecting and
bringing over ship loads Of the
Wittekind upon special effort of
special agents. We must bring
over, through intelligent agents,
ship loads of the kind and class
of immigrants that we need. And
when for ten years or for fifteen
years we have been landing these
people here and making them hap
by and comfortable in our homes
and in our fields and factories, we
will find that they themselves are
advertising us better than all other
agents or pamphleteers, and will
bring to US from their own ac
quaintances and from their own
homes and friends and kinsmen
those who will be glad to accept
the assurance more convincing
than the interested cries of emf
grant spielers. Nashville Banner.

MAINTAINING
THEMSELVES
Striking Miners Have Made No Demand
on National Treasury---Situation
Is Still Quiet.
COAL PLENTIFUL SAYS MITCHELL

indianapolis, April 17.-John Nit
chell, president of the United Mine
Workers, and Secretary Treasurer w.
B. Wilson have arrived here from
New York and Pennsylvania, where
they have been in charge of the an
thracite and bituminous contests since
the Indianapolis convention. Both
were at headquarters and both seemed
satisfied with the outlook. They are
here to attend the special international
executive board meeting. One of the
matters to come before the board will
be the proposition to levy strike as
sessment on the miners whose oper-
ators have signed the 1903 scale and
have put the men to work. About
100000 men are idle and on strike.
"Up to this time none of the men
has drawn on the national treasury for
support and I have heard of none
drawing on the district or sub-district
funds" said Secretary Treasurer Will
son. "They are maintaining them
selves on their own reserve"
"One would scarcely know that a
great strike is on" said Mr.. Mitchell.
THE operators and the public have
all the coal they want, the miners
would not have had any work anyway
since April 1 and If the public is pay
ing more than formerly for coal some
one Is taking advantage of the situa-
tion. The cost of coal has not in

The Earth's Swift Motion.

Everybody knows that the earth
makes one complete revolution on it's
axis once in each twenty-four hours.
but few, however, have any idea Of the
high rate Of speed at which such an i'm
mense ball must turn in order to ac-
complish the feat Of making one revo-
luton in a day and night A graphic
idea Of the terrific pace which the old
earth keeps up year after year may be
had by comparing it's speed to that of
cannon ball fred from modern high
pressure gun. The highest velocity ever
attained by such missile has been es-
timated at 1925 feet per second, which
Is equal to a mile in 8 2-10 seconds.
The earth in making one complete
revolution In the short space Of twen-
ty-four hours must turn with velocity
almost exactly equal to that Of the
cannon ball. In short, Its rate Of speed
at the equator is exactly 1907 feet per
second. This is equal to II miles

A Polish Sport.

One Of the favorite sports of Polish
country gentleman is to capture a wolf
alive, and as his mode Of doing it is
probably new to many Englishmen I
will briefly describe it. A wolf being
driven into the open, the well naaa1nted
horseman pursues it, armed only with
long whip and some rope The wolf
after time tries to take rest. but the
rider forces it on with his whip till,
after repeated attempts at rest, it sinks
exhausted. The rider ;hen springs
from his horse, jumps astride the wolf
and, holding it by the ears, secures it
with the rope. Most men require the
assistance of a mounted companion,
who ties the wolf while the other holds
it's ears with both hands. and in this
way the capture IS comparatively easy,
but to do it single handed Is a difficult
feat Nasty bites and even dangerous
wounds result should the hunter have
miscalculated the strength of the ami
NAL. No one, however, is considered a
perfect sportsman till he has done this,
yet many never succeed. OF the large
party assembled only our host two Of
IDS stalwart brothers and one other
man had obtained this blue ribbon of
Polish sport-Blackwood Magazine.

Electric Road Expects to Cover Dis

Chicago, April 17.-Ten hours be-
tween Chicago and New York on trains
operated by electricity and making an
average speed of seventy five miles an
hour is the plan of incorporators Of
the Chicago and New York Electric
Air Line railroad.
The scheme appears to be far in the
future, however. It is asserted that
some of the right Of way has been
secured but the projectors decline to
say how much They hope to have the
road in operation in five years.
AS the name implies the proposed
road will sacrifice everything for speed
and distance. According to the state
ment of Jonathan D.sPrice, president
of the Cooperative Construction COM
pany, which was organized to build the
road, the line will be 742 miles long,
Or 200 miles shorter than any steam
road now connecting the two cities.
Part of the line already has been sur
veyed. The first section of the road
to be built, according to the promoters,
will be out of Chicago and work on
this, one of the incorporalors said, will
begin soon.
