TALK OF BOARD OF TRADE

Ensley. February 17.-(Speelal. )-The Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad com pany is working the roll shop overtime, '" endeavoring to finish up sets of rolls for a change in the rail mill department that will greatly facilitate matters in this de- partment, and be the means of consider ably decreasing the cost of the finished rail
 The mill as it now stands necessitates thirteen passes to roll a rail from an SKIS bloom, and the new scheme will cut out four passes entirely. which will enable them to very materially increase their tonnage.
 The open hearth department and the blooming mill are both getting out good tonnage, but there are so many more passes to be made on the rail mill rolls than on the blooming mill that the changes are necessary in order to take care of the product and save relocating and rehandling the ingots.
 J. H. Barr, the general superintendent, has placed in charge of the different de- partments men who are thoroughly com- petent from both theoretical and practi- cal standpoints, and each department is working systematically to the others in terests, and the result is very manifest. One of the employees of the mill, who has been associated with the plant through several administrations, remarked on the harmony that existed among the men, and the absence of the petty Jealousy that has existed heretofore, and attributes the im- provement to the fact that the majority of the present employees are men of wider experience, having been connected with some of the best managed and most suc- cessful steel mills of the north, and new records are predicted for every depart ment when the repairs that are now un- der way are completed.

Southern Steel Co.'s Plant.

Another indication of Ensley's pros perity is the fact that the rod mill is so crowded with orders from the barbed wire, nail and fence departments of the Southern Steel company's plant that they are compelled to run Sunday nights. It is understood that this plant would run straight through Sundays, but it is almost impossible to have an entire crew or skilled labor out on Sundays, and 1t has been their policy to run only during week days but the demand for their product Is so great, and their customers are pushing them so for immediate deliveries that they have called the men out for the rod mill department on Sunday nights In or der to give the nail and wire mills rods for an early start on Mondays, and to in- crease their shipping capacity.

The following is a paragraph from Mayor Wards explanation that may or may not explain:
 "As a matter of fact. during the cam paign I have probably used about s1.2O worth of staInjs and stationery belonging to the city of Birmingham"
 Who foots the bill? Even the $1.20 worth of stamps and stationery? Is Mayor Ward quite certain that he has the figures right?

Railroad Case Goes to Washington.

Jackson Miss. February 17.-(SpecialD Assistant Attorney General Fletcher who has had charge of the several phases of tine Pontotoc injunction cases growing out of the refusal of the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City Railroad company to obey the orders of the railroad commission to the running of trains through the town of Pontotoc. will leave for Wash ington in the early days of March to argue motion to discharge the super sedeas he has already filed with the su- prerne court. The motion is based on the ground that the supersedeas was not ap- piled for within the time prescribed by law and is therefore invalid In event the motion is sustained the railroad will be at the end of its row and will be com pelled to obey the orders of the commis- sion all of which have already been sustained by the supreme court of the state.

Officers.

This is the time II year vhen II
becomes customary 10 say a few
words 10 the Camps. collectively and
individually, concerning the select

Il is the old story Of reminding the
membership Of their proper duties in
relation 10 elections, and quoting
the laws relating to same. So
many Camps get in the habit OF eau
cusing for this Sovereign or that. be-
cause they say he is fine fellow,
Jolly and stands in with the
boys" aud they proceed 70 push
for his election. without at any time
asceriaining what his qualifications
are, as 10 whether he could al the
position with dignity and intelli-
gently. In so many cases Camps
have made this mistake. by selecting
a man who has been indifferent as 10
what bis real duties are, who has
shown his incapability after being
indicted into office. thereby eau sing

Robt. Morrow Killed.

Robert Morrow. aged II years,
vas run over by a wagon loaded
with corn and almost instantly killed
Saturday morning about O'Clock.
Morrow was hauling corn for VIM.
Perry, and vas about two miles be-
low Hickman when the accident oc-
cured. Il seems thai Morrow had
gotten on the wagon driven bY one
of the Perry boys-leaving his own,
possibly 70 chat awhile, watching
his team from the other wagon.
When he started TO 90 70 his own
wagon. he jumped from the wagon
he vas on without stopping the ieam'
and when he did so, lost his balance
and fell back under the hind wheel.
The wheel passed over his body Just
ap-ve the waist. The unfortunate
young man was picked up, plaoed
ON the wagon and started 10 town.
/ AT the time, his friends did not
Sbink his injury fatal, as be was stu
conscious. After about 20 minutes
he tolS the boys TO take him OF the
wagon and let him res, awhile. HIS
request was, complied with. and ~
1--WE minutes t6sreaiier he died.
Robert was the son Of Mrs. sud
die Convey. who lives SIX miles south
OF Hickman.
He was buried Sunday at the
Sassafras Ridge grave yard.

Practical knowledge

There are hundreds Of boys and
girls graduated from our public
schools every year and 90 on, in the
world with practically no more
knowledge Of how 10 earn a living
than many who have not gone 10
school at all. Indeed. many who
have never gone 10 school a day
but who have learned to do many
things, are far better equipped for
life's battles than those who have
graduated in the books as taught in
our public schools at the present
time.
AS John D. Rockefeller once said
the young man with the college
education vas FIVE years behind the
one with the common school educa-
tion. At the end Of the public
school term neither could master
any one occupation. Hence one
started out for himself in life 10 DO
and make what he could Of himself
while the other started for college.
probably not knowing what be
wanted 10 make Of himself. After
spending three or four years in coli
leRe, he comes home and starts out
10 do what be should have done Ia
the first place the thing the other
boy has already done. Hence, he
is Just that many years behinds for
the fact that he comes home unable
& master a position Of any one kind
and too old TO learn a trade.
Nov, dear reader, don't conclude
from what has been said. that We
are opposed to education, We are
far. very far, from Il. What We
insist upon in our public schools Is,
that some plan be devised 50 that
the youth Of our country be given
a practical education, 50 that when
they finish school they are ready
to 90 out into the world and hold
some positions. as bookkeeper, clerk
or other position, such as in the
shops, the diaries. the farms, the
stores and other activities Of LIES
demands fully prepared to do their
several parts
In other words our schools should
prepare the young boys and girls for
something more than merely 10 teach
a country school. Teach them how
TO cook. sev. keep books and all
other such things that are demanded
OF the young man and woman Of to-
day.
