startling promptness. There was
determined effort today to kill
the Kershaw bill, which calls

examiners to pass upon the fit

road telegraphers handling trains
In this State, but it failed, the
bill passing its third reading and
gong to the Senate by a vote of
% to 45. The fight against the
bill was led by representative
hucker, OF Anderson, who de.
nounced the bill as a measure TO
place the railroads in the hands
oi the telegraphers' Union. "I

shouted in retort to Repres enta-

that the railroads do not dare do
what is necessary for the public
safety. The engineers union will
not allow it,"
Next the House passed the
Scarborough bill forbidding the
manufacture or sale of adulter

penalty of 81, 900. The debate
developed that there has been
complaint on the part of the far.

complained that many fine milk

Plea For Enlistlng.

No man who will look carefully
into the work of the army or of the
navy can fail to realize that ca
reer in either branch of our military
is one to which any man may give
himself with the fullest devotion
and with the highest ideals.
Americans, as a rule, know little
about the actual work of either of
these services, and few realize that
when man enters the service of
the army Or of the navy, whether
as officer or as enlisted man, he en-
ters great school, Il school il
which is taught not only the discip-
pline of selfrestraint, of cleanli-
ness, Of devotion to duty, but in
which are taught also the elements
of an education. An enlisted man
who enters regiment of the army,
barely able to read or write, comes
out, if he be man of ambition
and industry, at the end of three
years, in possession of the funda-
mentals Of an English education.
His officer stands to him not only
in the relation of a military direc-
tor, but in the relation also of a
teacher and of friend. There is
90 career open to IN American
boy, unless it be that of a teacher,
which offers larger opportunity y
than that of the army or navy Off

The American Blue Jacket.

The cool heroism Of the men of
the battleship Georgia in the crisis
following the explosion in one of
her turrcts is characteristic of the
American Navy. From the time
of Paul Jones to that of Dewey
the men and officers CT our navy
haye proved themselves the best
sea fighters in the world, the cool
est and the rcadiest in an emergen-
cy.
Marine Anthony's 81 beg par
don, sir, but the ship is sinking,'
to the captain of the Maine in Ha-
vana Harhor was of piece with
the action Of the blue jucket of the
Georgia who saved the lives of
dozens of his shipmates, and lost
his own. by ramming bag of
powder into q gun before the burn
ing bag had time to explode.
1t is not dicipIine which creates
the spirit which prompted the
men Of the Georgia, not knowing
what danger there might be in the
fatal turret, to come forward with
the ready hose with as little con
Germ as if they were preparing to
wash the deck.
No matter what happens, the
man of the American Navy is
never "rattied' nor panic stricken
In every danger he is at his post,
performing his duty as coolly a:

Missouri Leads In puuduCtion OF

Of production of mineral obtained
from the United States Geological
Survey for the year 1907 show
that 2S,S69 short tons Of barytes,
valued at $93, ,479, were mined in
Missouri.
Alabama, Kentucky and North
Carolina together produced 4340
tons, valued Mt $12, ,270; Tennessee,

Making the Stars and Stripes.

When one stops to think that
every year enough flags are made
in the United States to supply all
the men, women and children re-
sident therein with at least one
each, it will be seen that there is
ample reason why the manufacture
ers should make every effort to ex-
pedite the production. Although
each year not less than 1000, 900
American flags are made, that
number forms only y part of the
host of star-spangled banners of
various sizes that are born, live
and die between January and Janu-
ary. Many millions Of printed
flags come into existance annually.
If the material used is cotton or
silk, the flags are printed from
copper rollers; in the same way
that the designs for what is called
print goods are placed upon cotton
cloth. Muslin flags and those OF
paper are printed upon an ordi-
nary cylinder press, from iron
blocks and heavy electrotypes. Nc
one knows the number of the small
est muslin flags that are made an
nually. An idea may be gained
from the fact that one large estab
lishment which makes specialt,
of them turns out $1,000 day
Such flags are printed in sheets
ranging in size of sheets from
36x52 to 4Ox72 inches, each shee

a Smokers Breath.

The late Theodore Tilton, who
boastcd that he had never had
pipe, cigar or cigarette in his
mouth used to declare that the most
inveterate smoker he ever knew
was Sojourner Truth, the freedwo-
man reformer and lecturer. He
was wont to tell how one day,
when the venerable dame, then
about 80 years old, was on visit
to his house, she sat smoking her
pipe by the chimney corner, when
George W. Bungay, the author of
several eIoquant antitobacco tracts,
called to see her.

site removal to the American Lead
and Baryta Co. lot for serious
consideration next Saturday. If
there is any doubt as to whetd
er valid title can be fur
nished to this ground, let this
question be brought before the
circuit court at the next term. 1t
is the latter court and not the
county court which must approve
the title to property bought for
public purposes. If the court sets
this matter aside on the claim that
it can do nothing, it must seem to
us that it wants to do nothing.
