 This is a struggle of the working peopl" of our country, and it is a struggle of the working people for the right" Mir. Gompers said later.
 Tt is struggle of the ages-a strug- gle of the men of labor to throw off some of the burdens which have been heaped upon them. to abolish some of the wrongs and to secure some of the rights too long denied
 Various labor organizations have pro- tested to President Roosevelt against the sentence and have urged him to prevent the incarceration of the labor leaders. The Illinois United Mine Workers sent this telegram. signed by President John H. Walker. the vice president, Secretary-trcaSurer and members of the executive board:
 In the name of 75,O 900 mine workers in Illinois we desire to protest against the decision committing to penal servitude those great Commoners and representa- lives of the American labor movement, Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison.
 These men may be guilty of a breach of law. but a law that denies the use Of a free press and full speech is a breach of the fundamental principles of our coun- try. Such decisions only tend to create Pnmtty and class hatred. We respectful ly solicit your influence to prevent the in carceration of these men.
 W. D. Ryan. national secretary treasurer of the United Mine Workers, also sent an emphatic protest to Presi- dent Roosevelt. declaring GomperS. Mitchell and Morrison guiltless.
 D. j. Keefe. formerly vice president of the Federation of Labor and now commissioner of immigration. said to- day. You will find that Gompers. Mitchell and Morrison will never serve their sentences
 First Vice President James Duncan of the American Federation of Labor said:
 T am of the opinion that the par doning power of the president could be used right away in causing the re lease of President Gompers.
 If President Gompers is compelled to spend the years term in jail he will ronduct the affairs of the federation from the jail in which he is confined.
 T think the decision is most unjust, and the circumstances do not warrant the imposition of the punishment"

LESS DRUNKENNESS THIS YEAR.
A Marked Decrease in the Number
of Arrests in Atlanta.

A Marked Decrease in the Number
of Arrests in Atlanta.
With the first year of prohibition
about to close the police court rec
ords of Atlanta show a decrease of
1906 cases in the number handled
or 80 per cent. OF this number g.
572 cases represent "drunks," or 81
per cent. Both Chief of Police Jen-
nings and Recorder Broyles declare
that these figures prove irrefutably
that prohibition is a success so far
as Atlanta is concerned.
The total number of cases in DO
lice court up to date is 1852, as
against 1897 last year. The total
number of cases of drunkenness are
2,211, against 5,783 last year. These
figures refute in a large measure the
widespread idea that Atlanta is not
paying much attention to prohibi-
ton, and that infractions of the law
are Winked at.
The liquor men argue that the
panic and the fact that so many men
have been out of employment has
had something to do with the de-
creased number of DRINKS

LIONS AND LAMBS AT DINNER TOGETHER
HAVE TO HAUL WATER.
Saw Mills Encounter Famine, and
Run Water Trains to Ar
tesian Wells.

Water is scarce product in this
section, and the artesian wells are
about the only source that are not
failing. The saw mills and stills and
ginneries find great difficulty in get
ting water for their boilers, and the
Union Pinopolis Saw Mills at King
wood, plant using a large quanti-
ty, has been out hauling water for
the past six weeks. The water was
exhausted in it's own lake first, and
then it was hauled from Pilco and
Indian creeks until last week, when
those two streams failed.
Last week Superintendent Hender-
son came over to Moultrie and made
arrangements for artesian water to
run the plant until it rains and fills
up the pond at the mill. An eight
inch spigot with crane and cloth
nozzle was attached to the eight-inch
Waterman at the A. B. & A, depot
and an engine and fiat car has been
turned into a water train The fat
car is fitted up with three large
cylinder boilers that have been put
out of commission for steam making
and they have holding capacity of
between four and five thousand gall
Ions. 1t will take $4,000 gallons a
day to keep the mill and locomotives
going, and to haul this amount ten
trips to Moultrie day are made over
the track of the A. B. & "A.
1t is understood that the water
was sold to the saw mill people at
~ cents per thousand gallons
