Terrible.

Monday afternoon, Margurite, the
the 3-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Carlton met with an
instantaneous and horrible death at
her parents home. She was in
chair on the porch playing with her
doll and her mother was busy with
household duties. The 9-year-old
son of Robert Utterback was there
and found a loaded shot gun and in
some manner unknown the gun
was discharged very close to the
child's face and almost blew her
head off.
The shock to the parents of both
children and to the community was
terrible.
The funeral was conducted at
DeMoss Chapel Tuesday.
Everyone sympathizes with the
bereaved parents.

The Voice of Money.

Editor John Cecil in Mt. Vernon
Cheiftain: The Republican papers
are telling us that the republican
gamblers of New York are Offering
to bet two to one that the nominee
of the Special Interests will defeat
the candidate of the people at the
coming election. They no doubt
base their bets upon the "persua-
sive power" of the tainted" money
that will flow into the republican
treasury from the beneficiaries of
the republican policy. Sixteen mil
lion five hundred thousand such
dollars were used in 1895 to cor
rupt the voters.
Nebraska cities and towns have
inaugurated a fight against the
Chicago mail order houses that is
said to be really affective, Their
campaign is defined by the Neb-
raska Journal, and is of interest to
business men. The Journal says:
Instead of scolding the big firms
and demanding the abolition of the
rural mail routes and asking for
restrictive legislation, a few local
merchants are buying liberal spaces
in their home papers for the pur-
pose of showing the farmers and
town people that goods can be pur-
chased at home more cheaply and
satisfactory than in Chicago. The
campaign is conducted along def
mite and convincing lines. The
Chicago prices are quoted. with
freight or express charges added.
Then the merchant tells what he
can do on the same goods, with the
privilege of examination before
they are taken from the store. If
all the country merchants would
adopt this enlighted and effective
policy they could reduce the Chica-
90 mail order shipments into Mis-
souri, by fifty per cent in less than
five years.

Justice Justifies.

Four years ago during the Folk
campaign the St. Louis World easily
lead all newspapers in its abuse of
J. w. Folk and many of its readers
were disgusted to the point of quit
reading it.
Friday we picked up a copy of
the Central Baptist, a great relig-
ious paper published in St. Louis,
and found a letter in it by Rev. B.
Otto of Kansas City. We were sur
prised, astonished, astounded.
Here are a few of his choice gems
of miSstatements: Who are op-
posed to Wallace for Governor?"
The saloon keepers, the brewers,
the gamblers, the thugs, and jury
bribers, the men who carry con-
cealed weapons, the men who have
been running blind tigers"
We sometimes think some people
would say considerably less if they
knew more. Vile, bitter, unsub-
stantiated abuse is not argument,
nor does it win votes, confidence OF
respect.
One half of the ministers of Mon
roe City did not look upon Mr.
Wallace as a Moses, as the only
true, honest, conscientious man iu
race. More than half of the mem.
bers (male) of the Monroe City
churches did not think Judge Wal.
lace a paragon, faultless. And the
men of the world" in this city did
not have the confidence in the in.
tegrity of Judge Wallace that they
had in another.
Christ never began to heal sir
sick soul by first damning it.
We would respectfully refer the
Rev. Otto to a closer study of hi
bible and to this definition of thu
word politician as given by Web
ster: Cunning; using artifice."
In conclusion we ask one ques
ton, i e. does the Bible or does
Christ ever teach: The end justifes
the means. t

Sleeps Clothing.

In another column under the
head of Justice Justifies" some in
tereSting matter by one Otto, pastor
of a Baptist church in Kansas City.
They are his own words as printed
in the Central Baptist.
After preparing it for the home
paper we got this item from an
authoritative source: "Beardsley of
Kansas City, tool of W. r. Nelson
of the Kansas City Star, a year ago
was a Republican candidate for
Mayor. Rev. Benjamin Otto at that
time attempted to hammer his
church into the support of Boards
ley"
Well, what of it? Only this: There
are wolves in sleeps clothing and
the cloth of the ministry is being
being dragged through the political
slums and the men of the world
are ceasing to respect it.

Horse Sense for Hot Weather.

The season of hot weather is
here. when conditions are hard for
all that toll. The horse, perhaps,
more than any other laborer, is a
victim to the hardships imposed by
the torrid weather.
In order to make the conditions
under which he works as favorable
and comfortable as may be:
Provide him with a clean, well
ventilated stable.
See that he has a good fiy-net
for street wear and a sheet-blanket
for protection from flies while
standing in the barn.
When hauling heavy loads over
city streets or on dusty roads, let
him rest in the shade occasionally,
and water him often. Do not,
through fear OF giving nm TOO
much water, 60 to the opposite ex-
treme and stint him to a cruel ex-
tent.
Drive him at a mOderat, steady
gait and avoid any spurts of speed.
Sponge him off wirh cold water
when he comes back to the barn,
removing all sweat and harness
marks. Give him a carrot or an
apple, a friendly pat and a word of
appreciation for his service. -Hu-

 The officers of the company are J.. M. Overton, president; H. F. DeBarde- leben, vice president; C. F. DeBarde- leben, second vice president, and Overton Fulton, secretary and treasurer.
 The company operates in two valuable coal properties. At Acton, located in the Acton basin, in Cahaba valley, they control 10000 acres. This property lies six miles east from Helena, and branch of the Louisville and Nashville railroad leads to these mines. This is known as the Helena seam and at Acton the com pany has two openings. The product of these mines is a higt-grade, hard, do- nestle coal Cd the vein is six feet, ten inches. The %apacity of mine No. 1 is 1000 tons per day. of No at present 2oG tons, but the latter will soon be in- creased to 300 tons per day.
 The company also operates the property of the Tunnel Coal company. This con sists of 12,00O acres. This is the pur- chase of the Central of Georgia railroad and lies in St. Clair county, nine miles northeast of Henry Ellen with branch of the Central leading thereto These are designated as the Margaret mines and consist of two openings of 100 tons capacity each. The vein IS five and one half feet thick and most of the product is a superior seam coaY.
 The Acton lump coal finds a market in Georgia, Tennessee and as far west as Houston, Tex, as well as at many points in Alabama. It burns clean, heats well and lasts long and has the repu- taton of being high-grade lfamf1y coal.
 The Tunnel seam coal reaches many markets. The locomotives of the Gen. tral railroad and the ocean steamships running between Savannah and New York are supplied from these mines.
 The Alabama Fuel and Iron company now engaged only in the mining of coal is expected soon to establish vast iron fur- naces. The company owns 2000 acres of superior iron ore lands.
 Timber and water are in abundance at all these mines and the mines cannot exhaust in many years to come.
 The plants of the company are splen- didly equipped with modern machinery. All the buildings are erected with an eye to substantial staying qualities. The houses of the miners are>peat comfort able and rented to them at moderate rates.
 Labor conditions with the company are all that could be desired just now and there is general expression of satis- faction by employer and employed.

SUCCESS OF THE OPEN SHOP METHOD
 DEMONSTRATED IN MINING DISTRICT

part of organized strikers. It was stated by representatives of the strikers that the demand was not for wages, but for rec ognition of the union.
 It was clearly demonstrated that public sentiment was overwhelmingly on the side of the operators in their contention Gov ernor Conner ordered out the troops and gave practically his entire time for weeks to an effort to preserve order and protect the "open shop" workers, and finally, on Saturday, August 2s, gave President J. Lewis of the United Mine Workers of America the ultimatum. The Governor declared that if the strike was not called off by 10 o'clock the following Monday he would call a special session of the legis- lature and recommend a repeal of certain laws enacted in the interest of organized labor. President Lewis promptly &C., quiesced in the governors demand
 "A great majority of the miners who had joined the strikers did so, as they themselves said, to escape bodily harm to say nothing of ostracism. They were making good wages under the open shop system and were quick to seek work again when the strike was ended.
 In point of lawlessness and bloodshed the strike of last summer was the worst in the history of the district, but the cause of the open shop was greatly strengthened by the splendid spirit of cooperation on the part of the commer- cial operators. When the Alabama Coal Operators association was organized it was found that about 90 per cent of the coal production of the state was repre- scented. The heads of the smaller con- cerns, as well the officials of the large corporations, were present in person at the various meetings. and never before was surh thorough comradeship among furnace interests and coWpercial interests big and little-evidenced in the mining business of this section.
 Among the commercial companies promptly responding to the movement for a maintenance of open shop principles
