Republicans Hold Meetino.

The republicans of Beat 45 held a stormy meeting this morning at the city hall, and as a result two sets of dele
 gates were chosen to the state convention to be held in Birmingham May S. headed by J. O. Thompson. The meeting was called to order about noon by J. w. Clay ton, the chairman of the republican beat organization. From the time the gavel sounded it was seen there were two factions each seeking to control the meeting. On a vote to table a motion each side claimed a majority, and on the oharman's ruling the faction headed by T. J. Kennemer withdrew and proceeded to elect officers and delegates. The other faction did likewise, and the committee on credentials at the state convention will be confronted by two sets of dele gates While feeling ran high at times during the progress the leaders on both sides kept cool and were in the main good natured. Each side claims to be regular and each seems confident of being seated.

The Restful Italian Sabbath.

From Harper's Weekly.
 The "Contnental Sunday" which was recently invaded by the new French law eracting that shops must close during that day. has been still further abrogated in Italy by the "riposo settimanale,' which went into effect on February B. The measure which is substantial vic tory for the working classes of Italy, directs that all industrial and commercial concerns throughout the kingdom must grant their employees a weekly rest or not less than 24 consecutive hours NO attempt is made to apply the new law to transportation services, either rail or water, to places of amusement, or to any of the public utilities. as it is the inten- ton of the authorities to permit of abso- lute freedom for the recreation and amusement of the working classes
 A day of rest other than Sunday may be substituted in the case of industries op- orated by continuous furnace fires, the work of which must not be interrupted; 1; cheese manufactories: restaurants. bars, cafes. coffee houses, billiard rooms, and public business concerns in general; load ing and unloading operations in the port, and vessel repairers; transportation by land other than by rail; hiring of chairs and carriages; flower business, pho tographc establishments; private hospi- tals bathing establishments, pharma- cists: undertakers; newspaper offices, in- formation bureaus, theatrical perform ances and public amusements; cigar and salt stores, even if there be offered for sale other articles there; industries of public necessity. When to this list are added all persons employed at industries which operate in open air and subject to interruption by bad weather, and the permission given to conduct Sunday bus- ness between the hours of ' a. m. and noon to food-product dealers, insurance, emigration. employment, advertisement, and loan offices, and others of the kind. as wei as barber shops. it will be seen that the exceptions are rather more nu- lnerous than those occupations covered by the law.

The work of rebuilding the rail mill is about completed, and it is given out it will be ready for operation Thursday. The management is much gratified at the remarkable progress made in this work, the change having been made in much less time than was at first anticipated
 There is every indication that the roll ing departments will soon be in full op- eration again. and the Ensley rail shipped to all parts of the country.

phone not more than 20 miles. It was only 15 years ago that the first long-dis- tance message was sent between New York and Chicago At the present time the longest distance over which conversa- ton is carried on is approximately 2000 miles, while almost daily calls are made between business offices from 1500 to 1700 miles apart
 That the progress of the telephone in the next 30 years is likely to be as re- markable as in the past 30 Is the belicf expressed by President Vail of the Amer ican Telephone and Telegraph company. Each year has seen some progress in annihilating distance" he says in his an- nual report, just issued Thirty years more may bring about results which will be almost as astonishing as those of the past 30 years. To the public this system furnishes facilities in it's universality of service and connection of infinite value to the business world. It is the ability to communicate with others that makes the telephone exchange valuable. There fore the particular circuit connecting any subscriber with the exchange is what mgiht be termed a convenience to that particular subscriber, but necessity to all other subscribers. There are in these circuits of the Bell system about 100000 miles of wire or over two miles to each subscriber"

An important phase of telephone devel- opment on it's industrial side is that It has given rise to business amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars year that did not exist before. The second largest industrial plant in New York is one oc- cupied in the manufacture of telephone in- stru1nents, while an even larger estab- lishment in Chicago is chiefly engaged Tn turning out other forms of apparatus. The product of one manufacturing con- cern engaged in turning out telephone ap- paratus had a value of $69,00OO00 in 1906 in which year it turned out 1,25O,0OO tele- phones.

made himself unpopular with a certain
photographer. The latter individual
appeared at the senator's room at the
capitol, and announced that he was
there to take picture. Stone expos

the photographer again appeared and
presented the pictures and also bill

Remembering how hopeless was his
argument against having the pictures
taken. Senator Stone decided 1t would
be still more useless for him to de-

check. After the mans name was on
the check he wrote the word photo.
