After n conflict that has lasted

pany are to be union men, and at
the same time the recently insti.
tuted suit for $50, 900 damages and
an injunction brought against
Carpenters Union No. 800 is to be
Withdrawn.
This welcome news was ANNOUNCE

enthusiastic meeting of No 300 at
the Labor Temple, and those old
members who remembered when

izing of. the Brunswick Bake
Company was started by old No.

were particularly happy at being
able to witness the victorious end

THE STATE FEDER-
ALTON OF LABOR

Sixty Days Clause VIII Not b. En-
forced Against Bonifide Locals Says
President WEIGH.
President Welch, of the State
Federation of Labor is working
hard to have all local unions in
the state affiliate with that BODY
and hopes ito make the Clark burg
convention in October the largest
ever held.
At recent meeting of the Ohio
Valley Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, MIR. Welch spoke of the ex-
isting rule requiring unions to be
affiliated for 4 period of 60 DAYS
before be permitted to participate
in convention, but he explained
that the rule was adopted to pre-
vent the packing of a convention,
and volunteered the as urance that
1T would not invoked against any
bona fide union.
Owing to the lack of work in
the coal fields in the Kanawha
Valley there have not been as
many affiliations as was expected,
but under the above assurance of
President WEIGH and the, fact that
work is resuming somewhat, it is
expected that quite number of
locals from this section Will join the
Federation between now and the
of the Clarksburg con-
v.ntion.

room. while her partner brought up half dozen
men, to each of whom she gave apple The first
one who could eat his apple and asked in clear un-
choked voice, MAY have tho honor?" danced with
the girl.
Gus was one Of the candidates. and rather to his
own surprise finished his apple first He saw black
wrath in Ed Davis face the latter choked over his
plppin with the prize already lost.
EDS furious" whispered Annabel as she and Gus
glided the floor.
Because l finished irst?"
Her voice dropped bit lower shyly. Her pretty
brown head very near his shoulder.
"He saw that gave you the smallest apple"
Flattered Gus forgot the warnings of Adam and
Paris, and that from time immemorial the apple has
been the fruit of temptation.
1--WE ought to be awfully good friends" went on
Annabel looking up at him with big, blue eyes. 1t
was nice to have girl look up at you not to have
her eyes on level with yours. 81 guess we'll be
cousins some day. Aunt Efhe has been telling us how
often you come to see Madeline, that you're just
around there all the time Somehow you and have
never happened to see other but it will
be dinerent after We are KIN, won 1lI maven
any brother, and you advise me. and tell me
what you think of my men frends-won't you, Cousin
Gus? You know I have such confidence in your
judgment of people"
The music stopped. and some one claimed Annabel
before Gus could frame reply.
Madeline had few partners; she was oftener in her
seat than any girl in the room, while Annabe was
beseged with applicants. Gus was standing gloomily
by the wall during intermssion, in which Mrs.
Wyatt had borne her daughter off to the dressing
room for certain repairs to the coiffure when he
overheard a stranger speaking 1t was Mrs. Glvery
who after long and successful career on the stage
had returned to see the little town of her nativity.
"Who is that girl who has just passed? The one

That's poor Madeline Wyatt" replied the woman

ly excite comment, With a sudden sense of relief
that he had not yet committed himself, he went
to dance again with Annabel.
On the way home he felt awkward and constrained.
Madeline was distracted and they walked on in ST.
lence AS they drew the house he said, with
evident effort at sang-frod
"By the way mentioned that there was something
l wanted to tell you. You and 1 have always been
awfully good friends, Madeline I'll conhde in you
that l believe I'm halfway in love with that little
hirt of cousin of yours You'll help me. won't you?
She has an idea I'm In love with you you know"
"Ill undeceive her." replied Madeline. Goodnight,
Gus"
AS the door closed, mingled with his appreciation
OF his brilliantly clever exit from his predcament
was realization of the trailing sweetness of Made
lines voice.
Mother, I've great deal to talk to you about"
said Madeline, going straight to Mrs. Wyatts room.
Quietly she repeated Guss conversation on the way to
the dance and the return She felt shocked at the
grayness which came into her mothers face.
ooh mother don't look like that! I'm glad, glad!
II Gus had asked me 10 marry him, should have
said yes because knew your heart was set upon it
but didn't want to. Tonight had long talk with
Mrs. Gvery. She kept looking at me, and then she
asked me to and sit by her. Mother it is all so
wonderful. She wishes me to go back to New York
with her. told her how have always longed to go
the stage and she believes can If work hard"
And in the end Mrs. Wyatt consented.
To Madeline, who had never before left Bakers
ville New York bewildering puzzle. and then
growing fascination. Perhaps every hour OF her
life brought deepening appreciation of the generosity
and insight Of the greathearted woman who had be-
friended her. She met friends of Mrs. Giverys. with
names that glittered in electric lights and were en-
blazoned upon bilboards and their friendliness de-
lighted her and developed her. The difference in her

he asked himself what the of taking girl
to ball whom the other fellows wouldn't dance with!
He escorted her to the occasional plays which came
to their town. because he enjoyed hearing her quick
appreciation of any good point her criticism and
suggestion. On these occasions it trying to feel
that he was being pitied generally as Annabel
Brdgers' escort was being envied. Yet. somehow he
liked Madeline he liked to look at her! This
secretly alarmed him. He feared it might be sign
that he was falling in love with her. He was a
full and scrupulous youth, inclined to be stout, and
he liked to keep his hand on the pulse of his emo
tioos.
The only son of it's richest merchant, Gus was re-

Annabel Bridgers In appearance almost exactly what
her aunt had been twenty years BEFORE was the

that he could give the other fellows close call if he
had mind to the running
Annabel had birthday. and she determined to
celebrate 1t with particular pomp-something even
gayer than progressive euchre.
I've decided German. Whom shall put with
Madeline. Aunt Efhe?" she asked. "On each boys
invitation I'm writing the name of the girl want
him to take"
"oh, put her with Gus. He drops in once or twice
a week."
"As often as that?"
Yes, indeed maybe oftener."
Annabel said nothing. She could not understand
why Gus should be the only one of the young men
who seemed obvious to her charms. He couldn't
be really in love with that long lanky Madeline per-
haps he just shy and using her cousin as a blind
perhaps he needed little encouragement
Poor Mrs Wyatt outdid all her previous efforts on
Madeline's ball-gown From waist to hem it was a
mass Of organdie rufes and every rue had the lace
whipped by hand In her youth she would have
looked like deectable doll-baby in just such gown
but 1t gave her daughter appearance of being en-
cased In a befounced barrel
Puffs and pompadour increased the semblance of
height until Madeline seemed an inch taller than her
stout escort But in the dark he could not discern
this. and they walked along, Gus had the sense
of pleasure of restlessness, that he always had in
listening to the girls voice
81 thought 1t would be nicer to walk" he said
Don't think I'm stingy about carriage hire"
81 don't" she answered simply. 'The flowers you
sent lovely, Gus. Only"
"Only what?"
Il didn't mean to say 1t. Only was sorry that
mamma would put in the back of my hair It's
right over my ear, and the thorns stick Mamma
said that she pink rose like this and
young man told her she looked like picture he had

You certainly are good daughter" Gus ex-
claimed, with impetuosty unusual for him. 81 don't
believe Mrs. Wyatt realizes how yielding and obedient
you always are. tell you realize it! You are the
best girl ever saw, Madeline and-and there is
something I've been thinking of telling you for long
time. You must have that I-oh, pshaw there
is the Bridgers' house! I'll tell you on the way
home"
However when they stood in the light of the ball
ROOM his emotions, reused more than they had ever
been in his we-regulated life, received distinct
shock from the queer appearance Madeline presented

Gus moved away. Yes, Madeline was good girl

Boat Line Established.

The directors Of the Peoples Oil
Mill and Fertilizer works met at
thir office, last Friday, to consider
the feasibility OF inaugurating the
gasolene boat line between Aber-
deem and Fulton on the Tombigbee
river.
President Kirby Lam, manager
L. NJ. Porter and director J. W.
Jordan, the committee that had
viewed the river channel, reported
that not less than from to 4 feet
of water throughout the channel
six months during the year could
be depended on, and that the pro-
ject was entirely practical and
feasible. 1t was estimated that
gasolene boat with capacity of 30
tons would cost near $500.
Whereupon Messrs. :. A. Dalton,
A. J. Brown and L. NJ Porter
were made committee to raise the
amount by sale of stock in the Oil
Mill. $500 was taken on the
spot by stockholders present, and
the other $1,000 has already, or
will be taken in short time. Mes
srs. Kirby Lam, /. NJ. Porter and
J. W. Jordan were deputized to pur-
chase the boat or have it built as
might be found best.
The cost of operating a boat Of
the character contemplated Will
be nominal, as its capacity is be
low that Of crafts requiring licensed
pilots and engineers.
The primary object Of the line is
to bring cotton seed from Fulton
and intermediate points to feed
the company's Oil Mill here, and
seccndarily, to transport freight as
may be demanded. The Weekly
believes the line viii prove a bene-
fit to Aberdeen and territory it
traverses, and wishes its early in
auguration, as well as unbounded
success.

Major ]. W. Peck.

The news that MayorJ. w. Peck,
one of the oldest and most respec-
ted citizens Of Aberdeen, had died
at the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. J. c. Wicks, in this city,
was received Tuesday. with sorrow
full regret.
Mr.. Peck came TO Aberdeen when
be was a young man and has been
a prominent figure in its religious,
social and business life since. For
many years, he conducted one of
the foremost commercial establish
ments of this city and scored such
financial success as enabled him to
retire with competency in his de-
Ginning years. He was a devoted
member of the Missionary Baptist
church and contributed generously
to It's support. In that domain,
possibly, his best, most energetic,
and valuable life service was rem
dered. Those who best knew the
religious and human side of his
nature aver that he was charitable,
and generous; that his heart pull
stated with sympathy for the suffer-
ing and his hand contributed to re-
lieve distress wherever found. AS
a citizen, he was invaluable to his
town, county and State, possessing
those traits, which by nature and
requirement, fitted him to mold
social, political and religious senti-
ment to the best ends for his coun-
try. His death will be learned of
with regret by numerous friends
scattered over a wide area, but Alb
erdeenians, who know him best,
will miss him most.
Sympathy is extended by all to
the bereaved daughter, the sole sur
vivor of his immediate family.
The funeral service was conduct
ed from the residence of Mr.. J. C.
Wieks by Rev. Amos Kendall We'd
nesday at $50 p. M, and, also,
burial service at the grave the same
afternoon.
