VIRGINIA IS SAFE FROM
 REPUBLICAN ATTACK

'There Is a great deal of talk about Taft breaking the solid south,' but you never hear of Bryan breaking the solid north. Yet, that Is what we expect to do this year, for we have one of the best platforms and candidates that the democratic party ever put up. The req son there Is no talk of breaking the solid north is because there is less conserva- tism there than in the south. This is due largely to the fact that in no part of the south is there high percentage of foreigners. In my district 1t Is less than 1 per cent, but in any part of the north it would be almost impossible to find similar case, but one thing is sure,
 and that Is that no matter how high the hopes of the republican party are or how sure they feel about 1t, the state of Vir- gina is more surely democratic this year than ever before, if such a thing can be-

Washington. August A.-(Special.)-"It is useless for MT. Taft to try and woo the solid south," said Representative James Hay of Virginia tonight. "Every four years the republican party makes the statement that Virginia is going re- publican, but it is more for the pleasure of saying it than because there Is any possibility of it being so. l have never known or even heard of any Virgnian who has voted the democratic ticket for the past F years that has any idea of changing There are those who had changed their party before that time, but that is no gain for the republican party this year. If MT. Taft hoped to make any impression upon the people when he spoke at Hot Springs, Va, so far as can see, he has failed.

Charges Made Against
 Jerome Not Sustained
Special Commissioner Has Gone Over the Charges Carefully and Says That He Finds None of the Charges Made Concerning Jeromes Official Acts Have
 a Basis in Fact.

alleged fraudulent acts of the Metropoli- tan Street and other railway companies of New York, and also of the insurance companies, as developed by the so-called Armstrong legislative insurance invesu- gation. One of the charges alleged mis- conduct on the part of the district attor- aey in shaking dice in a restaurant in New York city. On this charge the com missioner says that although the act it. part of the person licensed, that is the proprietor of the restaurant, Is crime. The commissioner holds that there was no evidence that the proprietor knew that the act was committed and that to hold him criminally liable would be an absurd perversion of the object of the law. and straining of its lan- guage.
 In D S~ fal conclusions Commissioner Han A .: in part:
 'T Q Information this committee may cy = have as to the conduct of the { Q 2 attorney, upon which they have Z ol,, sd to make these serious charges < o.proper motive, neglect of duty. off O misconduct, cohspiring with crimi- Cos. throttling prosecutions and defeat Sg justice, we can only infer from the act that it's chairman and secretary con- cede their utter ignorance, and seem to have signed such charges as the counsel saw fit to prepare without real knowl- edge even of the contents of such charges, and in absolute ignorance as to their truth or falsehood, the counsel himself Is forced to admit that he had no greater knowledge or information than they"
 Governor Hughes will examine the testi mony and Commissioner Hands report before taking any action.

Jasper, August 24.-(Special) )-Today in conservation with MT. H. F. Yarbrough, president of the Yarbrough Coal Com panyf at Carbon Hill, Is miles west of Jasper, I was informed that the output of the mines there this month will ex- ceed that of August last year. This information appearing somewhat surpris- ing, l said:
 "Then I may write that normal condi- tions exist at Carbon Hill.
 "No. not that; but you must remem- Der that 15 men working full time and encouraged by the profit of their in dustry can produce more coal from a mine than 30 men making half time in- differently. No; conditions are not nor nal. We are forced to have large number of deputies near our mines to uphold law

Mines at Carbon Hill Busly in Commission Dangers Threatening-Vice President Whites Movements
 Indicate Beginning of the End

against innocent men and helpless wo- men.
 The Result.
 Led into temptation by vain promises given by this satanic spirit. ignorant whites and blacks alike have been idling away these many weeks. This idleness is costing, not only money of the state, but the participants and their families fears and anxiety and sorrow. It has caused the burning of bridges the slaughter of innocents, and the shedding of blood.
 The announcement made that Vice Pres ident White of the mine workers, after brief stay and examinations of conditions in this district has left the states sug- gests the beginning of the end of this strife. He is generally accounted a man of intelligence. If so, he has seen and he knows that a continuation of this un- holy warfare can only bring more sor- row, more tears, more cost of money and of blood; that the ultimatum of the op- orators means all that 1t says; that only few are fattening on the marrow of this sorrowful condition; and that there is ! daily prayer for peace, and for order ascending to heaven from every righteous man and woman in Alabama. He knows that not single furnace has been shut down by the operation of this strike; he knows that on the other hand two fur naces that were idle on July 1 have been stafteu up, ne knows that the WneelS or every engine in this district are running; and he knows that miners are entering the mines every day, and the output is increasing.
 And, knowing these things, MT. White surely sees the handwriting on the wall. If there be one spark of humanity, of justice, and of righteousness in his soul (and surely there must bel, he will not, If in his power to prevent, suffer a con- tinuance of this useless and sinful war fare against the commonwealth of Ala bama.
 Therefore I say that soon the light will break forth and the clouds of dark ness pass away. Soon civilization, law and order will assert their sway, and in- dustrial and social peace shall reign again.
 Encouragement Offered. And when this peaceful condition is restored we shall hope to see many of the toilng thousands who have been afrighted and misled re-enter upon a dis charge of the honorable and profitable labor from which they have been drawn by that evil spirit; and a resumption of those amicable relations between miner and operator which for so long a time have been enriching this state and af- fording happiness, comfort and wealth to men of muscle and willingness and to men of brain and capital. There must be no exodus of worthy labor, because forsooth, 1t has been for a season mis- guided. But, the vicious spirits, the ring leaders, the dynamiters the eut-throats, the assassins should not find Judgement here after the dove of peace hovers once again over this fair section.

Diplomatic Changes.

Berlin, August 24-The foreign office upon receiving telegram from Heidel- berg announcing the death there of Baron von Sternburg, the German ambassador to the United States, sent a telegram to Count Won Hatzenfelt- Wildenburg, the German charge affaires at Washington, instructing him to inform President Roosevelt that the question of a success sor to the baron probably would not be settled until Prince Won Buelow, the imperial chancellor, saw the Emperor, which might not be until the second week in September.
 Various diplomatic changes in prospect are to be gazetted In October. and among them probably will be a successor to the baron at Washington.
 Some of the diplomats under considera- ton for this post are Count Von Goet- zen, the Prussian minister at Hamburg; Herr Von Reichenau. the German minis .-~-~~~~~~~~~~

Instructions To Deputies.

These deputies are instructed to perform their duty in such a manner that they are to recognize no difference in the law breakers whether he be a working man or an idle man, a citizen or a fellow official. Of course, these officers are cost ing the operators immensely but so long as they keep good order we can operate our mines and continue to furnish support to our men and their families. If we cannot operate our mines in peace, we will shut them down until we can do so. We are in position to do so because we are bound by no contracts that shut down, thus forced, would affect"
 MT. Yarbrough further states that the companies near Carbon Hill are hampered by the fact that many of the present miners and the strikers, too, live in houses in the town and cannot be turned out of them. Therefore, there Is con- stant fear by the men who do desire to work that their lives and their fam flies are In danger.

'oker Washington's Race.

the negro leader of the better class, is law. His utterances on that subject find indorsement here but there are worse crimes being committed right here in the state which affords dwelling place for Tuskegee Institute than lynching, and this is the time and this the place where the voice of Booker Washington should be applied before his race in unmistaka- ble and vigorous manner. Lynch law seldom expresses an innocent victim. Here in Alabama idleness has made bomb -throwers, midnight assassns cut throats and murderers of the innocent out of members of Booker Washingtons race and I say that if he desires to do good, he should turn his batteries in this direction and not waste ammunition in informing eastern civilization of thise things which are of no such moment now, as the reign of terror which is disturb ing this section of Alabama-terror pro- duced by the cunning, the avarice, the chicanery, the wickedness of devils in dis guise, who are misleading not only vici- ousy inclined white men, but ignorant members of Booker Washington's race. Strenuous orators should appear when the state is in jeopardy and when the people are at issue with the enemy.
 Devils Are Here.
 Politeness makes the devil, as the theologians have made the angels, always masculine ever since devilsh qualities were ascribed to the poor women burned as witches in Salem or elsewhere, who were supposed to fly to the devil and converse with him. Naturally, today in this district we behold pluralism in the sex of devils, embodied in male and fe- male. At Sayre the other day one of these black she-devils kicked and cuffed and bruised the wife of a non-unon ne- gro miner because. forsooth, her husband labored daily for her bread and raiment. Who instilled that spirit of the devil in the woman? Whose voice of disruption, agitation and misgudance is responsible? Who are the emissaries of the devil the very incarnation of the evil spirit among us?
 It was Milton who pictured Satan as an arch-ange, thrust forth as rebellious 1 from heaven, but still magnificent High on throne of royal state, which |
  Outshone the wrath of Ormus and Of |
 Ind.' But the piainer devils have come to this | district plain men have brought and in- stilled them in the brains that are ig- norant and hearts that are fitting recep- | ticles for their abiding place.
 And these devils have sought to teach | the negro that he saould affiliate socially | nd v.tit ub These devils have caused organizations | known as "Women's Auxiliares," com i, posed of white women and black women; these devils encouraged negro speaker | to tell negro miners in the early part of this strife that they were as good as | white men, and should demand high | places of honor and of trust these he'll l ians have poisoned the minds of ignorant l blacks to be fired up against law and | order and peace; to apply dynamite to l peaceful shelters; to couch and cover In .v,,hush and draw tha rnurderoua triuDar

Unreasonable Demands.

In my last letter I wrote something of the unreasonable demands of the min CTS union. These demands have caused the loss of time and of money to an unreasonable degree. The arbitrary laws were so pregnant with injustice to both the miner and the operator that I can- not here recount them. But, more than one rule has been mentioned to me which is preposterous. When there Is a death in the camp, there must be ces- sation of labor for an entire day. Every man must walk out, no matter how pres sing contracts may be, or how anxious every miner may be to earn his daily wage. An operator told me that he at tended one of these funerals one day. Deceased was still-born child. Besides the operator there were present at that funeral an old mammy, the father of the child, one young man and grave digger. The miners were lettering, or sleeping, or playing pool or drnking-any- way they were idling. Under the open shop such a thing Is not permissible and should not be. It is mere mockery and an expensave sham.
