ONE TRUE TEST.

One true test of friendship for
newspaper is when people are re-
1quired to pay for it. Not but what
a large proportion of a newspapers
patrons are good pay, but a large
per centage are sometimes rather
slow in choosing settlement time, no
matter how good intentioned they
are.
When the government starts
reform to cut out the cancer of IL
Legitimate publications that use the
second class mailing privilege to
Hood the mails with worthless trash
which the people do not want,
never order, and never pay for, the
government must necessarily make
its provisions reach, all publica-
tiOns, good and bad, just and un-
Just, to escape the charge of class
legislation.
The Herald, during the first three
months of the present year was
compelled to engage IN an active
collecting campaign to live up to
the sweeping provisions of the new
order of the Postoffice Department,
and is more than gratified at the
manner In which it's course has
been commended and cheerfully
supported by its subscribers.
We still have accounts that are
unsettled, and the fact that the
pOstoffce department eased up at
the last moment and granted addi
7tionaI time for publishers to adjust
their business TO the new conditions
does not mean that they will do so
indefinitely they simply promise a
reasonable extension of time before
the new ruling is rlg1dly enforced,
and all subscribers who have not yet
settled their accounts or made sat
isfactory and definite al arrangements
for doing so should attend to 1T as
promptly as convenient, in order to
come within the statute.
A very great proportion of our
Iist-in fact remarkable number
of our subscribers, are we'll within
the period set by the law while
hundreds are fully paid up and six
months or year in advance. This
has also been during what has been
termed financial depression, and
with We ry, very few exceptions,
every dollar has been cheerfulIy
paid and many encouraging remarks
have been passed on to the publisher
that have frightened his work and
made more pleasant his journey
toward the goal every intelligent
and systematic business man de
lights in picturing. The closer all
classes of people get to the cash in
hand plan of doing business and
stick to it, the sooner will prosperity
become more wide spread, and bust
ness will be featured with countless
attractions that at present are not

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I note in your today's issue an edito -ial and an interview with Senator Nat L. Miller, under headings of Soil Survey in Jefferson County" in both of which articles there is complaint against this department for not having had Jefferson county soil surveyed. Had you known icism
 For about 10 days we have had a soil party in your county composed of MT. H. c. Smith of the national agricultural department, MT. E. S. Pace, an Auburn graduate and an Alabama boy and these are two of our best men. They will re- main in Jefferson county until the soil work is completed. The following are the assignments for North Alabama, as pub lished 10 days ago: E
 The soil surveyors are assigned to the following counties in North -.labama until November 1:
 Colbert county, w. G. Smith and J. c. Britton. .r
 Jefferson county, II. c. Smith and E. S. Pace.
 Calhoun coynty. L. A. Hurst and P. H. Avery. <
 CuKman county, W. E. Tharp and w. l.. Left
 Etowah county. w. s. Lyman and c. s. Waldrop.
 After November 1 next these several parties will return to South Alabama, and
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-07-12

remain during the next winter months and we are sure, however, that Jefferson county work can be finished by this time
 In making these assignments all the congressman have been consulted and we have been in full accord in every in- stance.
 In regard to Senator Mlller's statement that he introduced the bill into the sen ate, l desire to say that this is true. and also that my good friend Represent tative McMillan of Wilcox county intro- dueed the same bill in the house, and these two gentlemen are entitled to cred It for the part they took. in the passage or this important act. 1 think 1t is due myself, however to state in this connec- tion that l drafted every line and word Tn this bill and had no model to guide me as it is the only cooperative soil law In any state in the union. After this bill was prepared and before being introduced both Congressman Underwood and Dr. Bonsteel of the United States soil bureau, reviewed it and indorsed it. but did not recommend that a line or word be changed l wish further to state that the governor favored the passage of the bill and that Congressman Underwood and others aided materially in it's passage
 l am satisfied neither you nor Senator Miller desired to do me any injustice in this matter, and had you noticed the facts as published several weeks since (and if l mistake not this information was sent you by your correspondenD I am sure these articles would never have appeared. Yours respectfully,
 J. A. WILKINSON Commissioner Agriculture and Industry.

BOTH SIDES FIRM IN STRIKE CONDITIONS Miners Claim Large ACceSsions
 to Their Ranks OPERATORS STANDING PAT Reiterate Determination To Maintain Open Shop and Offer Full Protec-
 ton To Those Wishing
 To Work.
OPERATORS STANDING PAT

At the end of the first week of tho United Mine Workers strike the union claims to have received large accessions to it's ranks, while the operators on the other hand state that the furnace com ptiIies have lost but few of their men anu thai there has been but little inter- ruption to their business. The operators have held many conference and at one held yesterday the following notice was issued:
 Tn order to correct certain rumors now beng circulated the undersigned coal operators desire to announce publicly and positively their adhei ence to open shop principles and their determination to maln- tam these conditions without further de- lay. All those desiring employment will be fully protected
 This notice. with the signatures of q companies attached, will be found in an- other column of The Age-Herald Among the operators signing are the Tennessee company, tine Republic company, the Sloss- Sheffield company, the Woodward Iron company and all the other furnace companies and likewise the Pratt Consoll- duted and other prominent commercial operators.
 ] President c. B. Mccormack of the Pratt Consolidated Coal company said yester- day: "The mining situation is mproving The operators are firmly agreed Tn the position they have taken to adhere to the
 open shop plan'
 N. E. Leake, a well-known and prom inent member of the Commercial Oper- ators association, had this to say: There is no truth in the rumor that some of the commercial companies agreeing to adopt the open shop plan have signed the union l scale, and not one of them, so far as am informed, has any intention of recog- nizlng the union. The commercial oper- i q tors are standing firmly with the furnace i operators"
 week ago the United Mine Workers posted notice appealing to all the miners Tn Alabama ito cease work and to make supreme effort to organize the state.
 According to reports from various min ing camps some of the men responded to the call, but many of those who were wavering have slgnifed their intention to remain in the service of the open shop companies
 A stick of dynamite was exploded at the Republics mine at Sayreton last night but no damage was done. It was believed 10 be merely an effort to Tighten those who were standing by the company.
 The union miners, as a class, are sad to show not only no disposition to create disorder, but on the contrary to. be more i ,,IN
 The operators have, within the past two days, employed additional guards for duty at their respective mining camps.
