fishing the st. Thomas Register, at
Flushing, Long Island, when he was
II years old. Four years later he
united with two young colleagues in
the production Of campaign news
paper supporting Bell and Evarts for
presidential honors. His interest in
politics carried him into the great
civil struggle then raging, and, while
still in his teens, he enlisted with
Lands Philadelphia battery and
served during the campaign of '63,
when Pennsylvania was invaded by the
Confederate forces.
The death of his father cut short a
subsequent novitiate in the law, and,
thrown on his own resources, the young
man became first railway paymaster
and later an editor.
Mr.. Glider found himself, at the age
VI Sos III q poollIoll VI hSioI sallu hlSH
literary influence. For eleven years
he was managing editor of Scribner's
under DIR. Holland. In 1881 he be-
came editor in chief Of the Century
magazine, position he held until his
death.
Poems are Rated High.
Better known as poet even than
as an editor, Mr. Glider has published
six books of verse, among which are
sonnets and lyrics. which have found
a setting in the American anthology
and have been rated by critics as sure
to pass into the heritage Of the
language. His best works are "The
Celestial Passion" Lyrics 1.-TWO
Worlds" "The Great Remembrance" !"
"In Palestine" Poems and Inscrip-
tions," "A Christmas Wreath" and "a
Book of Music"

SHERIFF IS REMOVED
Gov, Deneen sus2ends OFFICER Who
Allowed Mob to Secure Cairo
Prisoner,

Springfield, H., Nov. 19.-sheriff f.
i. Davis of Alexander county, from
whom the Cairo mob took the negro,
James, and Henry Salzner, white ux-
oricide, and lynched them, was last
night removed from Office by Govern
or Deneen. The governor acted under
the mob violence act of 1905, which
leaves him no discretion. He must de
clare the Office vacant when the sher-
iff loses a prisoner, but the act pro-
vides that the governor may, on re-
quest of the deposed official, make an
investigation, and If convinced the
sheriff did all in his power to protect
his prisoner, reinstate him.
1t is predicted that Davis will be re-
instated, though the governor would
not admit it.

ENDORSEMENT
TO GO NJ PERS
CONVENTION AT TORONTO Ex-
PRESSES APPROVAL OF COURSE
TAKEN IN CONTEMPT CASES
AND PREPARES FOR APPEAL.

Toronto, Nov. 19.-The American
Federation of Labor today adopted the
report of a committee endorsing the
position taken by Gompers in the in

the language used by Judge Wright in
sentencing the labor leaders The
convention voted to appeal the injunc-
ton case to the supreme court, and
authorized the raising of funds for

Merger of Unions.
Amalgamation of rival international
unions as way of ending jurisdiction-
al disputes has been ordered by the
convention. Most important of the
decisions was one directing that the
IAmalgamataed Woodworkers' Interna-
tional union be compelled to amalga-
mate with the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners beforeq Nov. j,
1910.
The two organizations have been
at loggerheads for a number of years
and numerous strikes have resulted
as consequence. Both organizations
are affiliated with the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor. The headquarters of
the woodworkers' organization are in
Chicago, which city is considered it's
stronghold. The carpenters have been
demanding jurisdiction over the men
in the mills and shops and seFeral
efforts to bring. about a peaceful anal
gamation have been tried in tiae last
few years and have failed
Ruling of Committees,
The convention. on the recommend
alton of the committee on adjust
ment decided that the woodworkers
be compelled to get into the carpen-
ters' organization or lose their char
ter of affiliation. The membership of
the United Brotherhood II Carpenters
is about 100000, while the woodwork
ers have about $4,000 members.
A similar amalgamation was order
ed of the International Association
of Carworkers and the Brotherhood
of Railway Carmen The former is af-
filiated with the American Federation
of Labor, and though the second
named organization has much larger
membership it has been denied a,
charter. The committee recommended
that a conference Of the executive of
flcers of both organizations be held in
Washington at an early date and a
plan of amalgamation formulated that
will settle all claims of jurisdiction
and unite the carworkers under one
head.

orders Doors to swing Out.

Denison, Nov. 19.-Judge 2. A.
Church Of Jefferson is here holding
the November term Of the district
court. His first official act as Judge
was to order County Auditor M. ].
Collins, as custodian of the Crawford
county court house to have all outer
doors to the building swing outward.
This order means considerable outlay
of money, as the doors are very large
ones of solid oak. The court house is
a new one and why the doors were
not made to swing outward originally
Is mystery.

Vicksburg is extremely FORUM
ate in the matter of legal talent.
No city in the South can boast of
a more intelligent or highly
respectable legal fraternity. Mr..
l.. D. Calibone, is one of the at
torneys we wish especially to
mention. By training, education
and experience he is amply quail
ifed to do justice to his clients
and to properly and successfully
handle all matters entrusted to
him.
Mr.. Claiborne read law in the
Office of Clifton and Blair, of
Tupelo, Miss, and was admitted
to the bar in Jackson, Miss.
January L, 1909. Mr.. Claiborne
had held important positions
with the M. & 0. railway, l. c..
railway and several other rail
ways. He is a young man of
marked ability and talent in his
profession and is justly due the
high position he occupies in the
esteem and confidence of the
public. Mr.. Claiborne has in
every way shown himself to be a
friend Of the laboring people and
our friends should lend him all
the assistance possible. - The
Vicksburg Democrat.

Claiborne in this county will be
pleased to know of his success
in his chosen profession and their
best wishes will follow him and
the reports of continued success
will be gratifying news to them
at all times.

business was not pushed, how
ever, and the factory went to
