Taft rstyrned from Manila to enter

onel Samuel M. Robertson fought
for the Louisiana sugar interests,
while Senator Foster took good care
that freh trade was mot accomplish

of granting them free trade with this
country On their tobacco and sugar
This legislation is much needed and
should have been passed long ago. u

the eradication of the disease from

When it wds discovered that the dis
ease was communicated by rats an
energetic RAID was instituted in Ma

The Democrat at Senatobla an
nounces that "The hay crop in this
county is now receiving more than
passing attention. Daily there are a
number of wagons seen on our streets
loaded with baled hay. We cannot
raise any crop at less cost than that
of hay and none is more profitable.
We are glad to see our farmers har-
vesting hay, to which few yeas ago
no attention was paid" The situa-
ton in Tate is duplicated in many
other counties, the hay crop fast tax
ing place as a principle one. 1t is
evidence of healthy state Of affairs
that is very much to be desired.

Yazoo City has the distinction OF
possessing the first lady cotton buyer
to open an office for business in Mis-
sissippi. Miss Doherty is the lady
who makes this venture. Her sister
established fire insurance office
some years ago and has made a sue
cess of the venture. The uniform
courtesy of Mississippians insures to
ladies who engage in any business
lines, fair treatment, and it is very
likely that the future will see many
more branching out in the search
Of more profitable occupations than
those now filed by the feminine sex
in general.

It was found thsit certain increases

put them to muca expense and they
should be Reimbursed accordingly.

Remember that both the Union and
Cotton Associations have said that
cotton is worth and should bring 10
cents. The only way to back up
proposition of this kind is to ask the
price and hold until you get it. II
the manufacturers said that piece
Of cotton goods was worth 10 cents,
the cotton planter would pay the
price because they would not sell it

WORKERS LAID OFF
Southern Turns Out Large
Force in Atlanta Shops.
SUSPENSION INDEFINITE
To Many the Order Came as a Conn
pIete Surprise-The A, 3. q A.
Also Lets Out Many Men
at Fitzgerald.

One hundred and fifty men. four
ffths of whom are trained workers,
men who have served a long appren-
ticeship and who are earning an ex-
cellent grade of pay every day, walked
out of the Southern shops In South
Atlanta Thursday afternoon, carrying
with them an order of suspension for
how long none of them can evon
conjecture.
Not one of the men had the slight.
est thought of cessation of labor.
Since the season of vacations and
rests had passed and the men trained
to their several trades were anticipat-
ing a long winter of money-making
work.
But, as the men entered Me shops
Thursday morning, there was a fresh
sheet of paper on the bulletin board.
It's brightness attracted the attention
of every man with his dinner pail
upon his arm. All stopped to read
the board and to every one it was
surprise. 1t was brief. but 1t was
plain and unmistakable. 1t simply
announced that when the day ended
there would be- no work the next day
for some of those who read the bull
letin. While short and plain, the order
indicated those upon whom idleness
came. 1t apprised twenty-three ma
chinists, whose average pay Is $23
to s25 a week; one coppersmith who
makes So and more day; three
boilermakes whose scale is $S.1O a
day; fifteen helpers at $1.30 day;
two blacksmiths, who without trouble
earn 1920 a day. and one hundred
| carpenters and car builders, out OF a
| force of 500 men and who earn "
every day, that when the days work
was over they might call at their fore
| mans office for their time, as their
services would not be needed the next
| day-Friday.
No reason was given the men Ter
the order, but it didn't take them long
to figure out a reason. One or the
number-he has been with the South
ern shops since Pittsburg, as the At
lanta shops are designated, was start
ed-spoke for the crowd who are laid
off:
when 1 say that the order was a
! surprise to the men, l tell you the
exact facts in the case. Still, among
those who are in charge 1t has not
been surprise recently. We have
ascertained that some of these fore
men have been working for this or
| der for more than week. IT they
knew any reason for it, however, tney
| have not given it out. But among tne
men who are touched by the order'
as well as among their companions
who still remain in, there is now
an understanding. Recent legislation
is the cause. And do you know there
is not a man not hit by the order
Of today who feels that he has a
certainty of a days work. That order
which came today may come again
tomorrow-it may come at any time
and when it does come we Will tnen
know. and not before who Is next TO
be let out"
At the regular meeting OF the ma
chinists of Atlanta Thursday night'
# was announced, not in an ofncial
way but in a manner wholly reliable
that at Fitzgerald one hundred men,
s3.40 a day on the wage SCALE nao
been let out by the Atlanta. Birming'
ham and Atlantic railroad. NO reasons
| oaa;onod for that let-Out.
