sharp work OF United States Senator
Nelson Wirmarth Aldrich, in increased

The fact is that these mills and their
owners are not poverty-stricken. As
matter OF fact, the men who own the
principal mills Of New England are i'm

steel as a producer Of millionaires.
Some mill companies Of New England
are vastly oyercapitalized They are
run generally on the proposition that
the capital stock and the gross total Of
the years business shall be equal Some
Of the oldtimers won't fall into that
way Of thinking and, in consequence, the
stocks Of the mill companies they own
or control are worth far more taan par.

abroad among his enemies and yet be
as safe as though he were behind a

\ prGNrrrED ANSWER

The defeat Of the prohibition amend

least to the intolerance and want OF
charity shown by Rev. L. W. Moore OF
Tallahassee towards Mr.. Long The
unprovoked charges made against him
were denounced untrue by the Mar
ion Camp Of Confederate Veterans and
by Mr.. Longs neighbors and his
friends regardless Of their proelivities
on the constitutional amendment. This
papers defense Of Mr.. Long angered
Mr. Moore, and he is saying as un-
charitable and intolerant things
against il as he said against Mr.. Long,
