Roof is Blown From Plant ia Opelika.
 Opelika, March 25.--tSpecial. )-The Opelika cotton mill was visited by . heavy wind this morning about i2:s0 o'clock and as result part of the heavy gravel roof was blown on the factory building and carried quite . distance
 The wind came from the southwest, and as 1t only struck the cotton mill 1t must have been of cycionic origin.
 The damage to the roof will amount to about $500.
 The rom Thumb Wedding given by some of the yoMhg people of Ope- lika, under the auspices of the First Baptist Church at the school audito- rum Wednesday evening, was a decid ed success, and showed much talent.

CHINESE ADOPT NEW
NATURALIZATION LAW
Stringent Provisions Mark
Some Clauses of Statute

A recent Chinese newspaper states
that the law of nationality. consisting
of - articles, has been decided upon.
BY this law any person who has lived
in China over 10 years and is above
ing, being helpful to China, may be al
lowed 10 assume Chinese nationality,
If asked for. Unless one has lived in
China more than 20 years he will not
be allowed to serve in the grand coun-
ell, imperial household department, or
as a military official in any position
above the fourth grade: neither can he
become a member Of parliament nor
of the provisional council.
When one wishes to abandon his ma
tionality as a Chinese he must first get
the consent of the board concerned or
he can not lose his nationality. Only
a person who has no official position
or has not failed to pay taxes is. al
lowed to abandon his nationality. When
a Chinese woman marries a foreigner
she will abandon her Chinese nation
ality, and when foreign woman mar
ries a Chinese she will become Chinese
In either assuming or abandoning
nationality the wife and children will
follow the husbands nationality.
A woman who is married is not al
lowed to change her nationality alone.
Women who are divorced and persons
who have abandoned Chinese nation
ality before the laws are enforced will
be treated as Chinese so long as they
live in and enjoy their rights in China.

RUSSIAN IDEA OPPOSED
IN FINNISH CENTENARY
Gar Imposes Autocratic Ruie
on Annexed State

Russia and Finland celebrated TINS
wear the centenary of the liberation. ol
Finland from Swedish rule, but from
very different points of view, says the
London Globe. The matter is OF con-
siderable interest to US, because Eng
land was indirectly the cause OF war.
Russia was bound by the peace of Tilsit
in 1907 TO keep British trade out of
the continental markets, but GustaVus
". king of Sweden, kept open his ports
to English ships. and allowed them TO
make Goteborg a free port. RUSSIA
then declared war against sweden, and
Finland became the chief seat OF the
lighting in 1S0S-9.
The Swedes fought most valiantly
and were only overcome by greatly
superior numbers When peace was
made at Friedriksham in September
1909, FINLAND. which had always been
tile scene of the struggle between Rus
sia and Sweden was at last able TO
enjoy peace and to realize that she had
a national existence of her own.
The czar became the grand duke Oh
Finland and a compact was MADE Dy
which Finland was autonomous under
the rule of the czar, but was not IN
corporated in the Russian empire. Ihe
present trouble between Russia ana
FINLAND is entirely owing to the deter
minatfon of Russia to. ignore this ar
rangement and to force Finland to be-
come an integral part of the empire,
without any of the privileges secured
to her by the treaty OF I.riedriksham.
The Russians celebrated the anniver-
sarv officially as the date on which Fin
land was annexed from Sweden, while
the Firms wish TO rejoice over the CEN
tenarv of their liberation from Sweden
and the beginning of their free life as
an independent dukedom. OF course,
these two views are absolutely incom-
patiple one with the other, and as Rus
sia has strength on her side. 1t will not
be the freedom which Finland gained
under an autocratic cZar, but that
which, by the irony of fate, she lost
under a constitutional sovereign.

nfRRIN BACK FROM
EUROPE AND WELL
Southern Pacific Counsel Talks
of Train From Coast to
Coast in Three Days
Says Tuesdays Election Is An
cient History, Not Worth
Discussion

William F. Herrin. chief counsel for
the Southern Pacific company, returned
to San Francisco yesterday morning
after vacation OF five months spent
in Europe. There was no heraldfng of
his return. He slipped into the city
quietly and his presence was not known
until late in the afternoon.
Herrin refused to discuss the election
of last Tuesday, saying that it was
history and that being all over moth
ing was left TO discuss. Herrin looks
we'll. He does not look like man
that had been seriously i'll as reported,
and is in the best of spirits. When
asked about the report of his illness. he
said that he had suffered from Sc
we're cold while in London. just pre-
vious to his departure. but that it
never had been serious.
There will be no radical changes in
the policy of the Southern Pacific in
California, according to Herrin. 1t viii
be developed along the lines laid out
by .E, H. Hartman before his death,
and there Will be no immediate changes
in the personner of the company in
this state. Herrin said:
The policy will be the steady and
logical hettermnet of the Southern Pa
cific system in point of physical excel
lence and transportation efficiency. I
have heard Mr.. Hartman say on sew
era1 occasions that a three day train
between San Francisco and New York
would be entirely practicable. and 1
think it is only a natter of time when
this viii become an established fact.
The Hartman lines west of Omaha TO
San Francisco are as fine as those Of
any eastern line, and when through
train can be arranged which will elm
mate the layover in Chicago a three
day run from coast TO coast will not
be difficult"
The development of San Francisco
harbor is also considered by Herrin as
essential 10 the prosperity of the city
He said that San Francisco must pre-
pare to handle an immense traffic. and
declared himself i'm favor of a ship
subsidy During his stay in the east
Herrin was in consultation with the
heads of the Hartman system. but he
would not say that anything more than
routine business was discussed

MANY APPLICATIONS FOR
WORK FILED DURING YEAR
Chronic Unemployed Condition
Exists in British Isles

During the year ended March 81. 1909,
the total npmer of applications for re-
lief by those out of employment in
England and Wales was 19s,757, of
which London aggregated 1929. and
outside of London, 7.51S.
The applications for the previous
year were 32.624 in London. and 57,433
in the remaining districts. The total
number of persons relieved in 1907-S
was 6,413, representing 150,971 depend
ents, and in 190S-9, 136,5S9. represent
ing 376,04S dependents. There were
81, persons in every 1000 of the popu-
lation relieved in 190S-9, as against IA
in 1907-S. The applications, for re-
lief by women in 190S9 were only
1882. out of the total Of 196.757 The
number of men who applied for relief
in 190S-9 constituted 4 lilo per cent
of the working male population of
England and Wales, while it repre-
sented but 1-10 per cent in 1907-S, and
1 $40 per cent in 19067
OF the total number of applications
that were made there were 33,623 re-
jections, because of unsatisfactory
character and for other reasons. and
1871 OF the number who applied re-
fused the work that was offered to
them.
Miscellaneous or casual laborers fur
nished 47 40 per cent of the appll-
cants, and is 9-10 per cent were FUR
nished by the building trades The
number of applicants from the en-
ginering, shipbuilding and metal trades
was so per cent higher in 19oS-9 than
in the preceding year.
modicum Of employment was fur
nished by the establishment of labor
colonies on land secured for that pur-
pose. One of the farming communities
established by London borough gave
shelter and employment during the
year to All persons, the average Tor
the individual being 56 days work.
The expenditure in this colony was
S35.462, and the returns from the Ia
borers $9s52. The number of persons
who were assisted to emigrate de-
creased from 6,066 in 1e07-S to 1.15s IN
l90S-s. London furnished OF thls
total l55 men with 259 dependents. :
The conclusion is that chronic con-
dition of unemployment exists as 10
a very considerable number of per-
Sons who have to be pretty regularly
and rather constantly assisted TO keep
them from passing into the pauper
class. This chronic condition is ac-
counted for by the large number OF
casual laborers, whose work is so un-
certain and sporadic that no nAeu
habits of industry are formed

Defends Favorite Game

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Nov 3.-In one
of his speeches here today the presi-
dent sought to defend golf from the
charge that it is rich mans game.
The game of golf / am not only fond
of myself" he said. but / am serious
in thinking that it's general spread
through the country is real advance
in the matter of hygiene and heaIthful-
ness and long life to men between so
and 20.
During the last presidential election
it was heralded in the newspapers as
being a game indicating aristocratic
leaning that was supposed TO injure
one in the standing of the plain peo-
Pile as Lincoln called them. But
am hopeful now that the virtues of golf
as a trainer OF character and as lev
eler instead of an exalter of people
will be we'll understood
