Economics Of Convict Labor.

Mr. Butler then went on to show that
the question Of convict labor was of
economic and not Of political Importance.
He incidentally suggested that q certain
class of prisoners be employed in the
work of conservation.
Since prisoners make again habitable
the abandoned farms Of Massachusetts,
and remove the powders from the rich
soil of Rhode Island. why can they not
reclaim the flats of New Jersey and the
Everglades of Florida" he asked. In
the great mountain districts Of the United
States in the lands of disappearing tim

possibilities already without limit
Following this address. the committee
on discharged prisoners submitted Its
report, read by +. A. Whittier Of Min

I'VE believe that agencies for aid

that, upon release from prison every
man might have at least q definite chance
of employment where he could, IL he
would, succeed, and that the aid and
supervision Of the agency continue until
he has acquired the three RS of good

from the hands Of an old organization
into the hands of a new one 1t has

tributed to that majority. In vain was

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 21.-" Barney
Oldfeld Secured for Atlanta at Sal
airy of Three Million Dollars Week.
This truthful but misleading head
line appeared recently in an Atlanta
paper. AS a matter of fact Barney
has been engaged at the rate of 49,
O84, 480 per week. But of course he
has not been engaged for the whole
week-only for a shade over IS Sec
onds in fact.
Oldfeld is coming to Atlanta with
his 2O0-horse power Bitten" Benz
under a verbal contract to break the
American speedway record of 1855
for a mile. If he does it he will get
$500 for turning the trick. That
will net him something like $14.28 a
second. Rockefeller and Carnegie
haven't anything on that.
Oldfield has also ordered his Knox
and will doubtless enter his Grand
Prize Benz for the Atlanta Speed
way meet. And Ben Kirscher has
struck in his venerable but speedy

The Teachers Lantern.

The Galatians were Incorporate,
judging from the hints of Caesar,
Paul and Thierry-intemperate in
their emotions. Their thirst was for
some notions in their feelings. They
craved sensational orgies. They
listened to the appeals of the Jud-
ais missionaries with the savidity
that they had shown toward the
Apostles message. Their ears itched
for novelty. Unhappily their kind is
not extinct. There are Galatians in
every community. Poor material to
work ON! But if they themselves
cannot be cured, imitation of them
can at least be discouraged. Ridi-
cule is the best antidote.
Sin bolts heavens door. But this
is no arbitrary matter 1t is in the
naure of the case. Those who plunge
in moral filth can no more live in
an environment of purity than one
can live in vacuum. God does
not need to damn them. They damn
themselves.
Paul had hard things to write.
Must needs call things by their right
names, however harsh they sounded.
Yet he began with Peace and
Grace" and ended with Grace and
Peace" And it was no mere form
atty.

Mitchell COuntianS In
vent Cotton Picker

Although every effort has been
made to keep the matter quiet it de-
velops that there has been construct
ed near Pelham a machine that is
destined to revolutionize the cotton
industry and meet the long felt want
of an effective machine for gather
lug the crop.
Only a limited few have been per-
mitted to see the machine, but it is
reported that a trial in one of the
cotton fields southwest of the city
proved the machine to be effective
in gathering the cotton clean from
the bolIs without injuring the stalk or
gathering the trash and leaves.
For several months Messrs. Ed and
Jack Swindell have been at work on
some kind of machine in their shops
at their old lumber camp between
here and Bainbridge and those who
got a glimpse of the ropes, etc., said
they believed the men were working
on flying machine, but it now de-
velops that it was a cotton picker.
The machine has been moved to
Tallahassee, Fla, where some minor
details will be worked out and the
finishing touches put to it. Those
who know the Swindells will be glad
indeed if they can win the honor
and the profit of being the first to
perfect a machine for picking cotton

TEMPERANCE LESSON.

The Gauls in Asia Minor were
like a boulder dropped afield by
glazier, or rather like one that had
hurled itself there, if such a thing
could be imagined They were alien
to the soil, but not pushed there by
the trend Of population. They were
invaders. Caesar gives faithful
likeness of them in his Gallo Wars
It tallies line for line with the apos-
ties picture in this Epistle. I'm
steadiness was their characteristic
= Nothing could be safely trusted to
them. Their repugnance to dlsclp-
line was marked and quarelin9
among themselves was perpetual.
Such were the racial traits to when
people to whom Paul preached his
gospel, displacing their sensuous and
demOnstrative nature-WOrship with
religion whose essence was unison
with holy God and love and SER
vice of ones fellows. True to the
characteristics which were in their
very blood, they welcomed the new
messenger and his message. They
submitted enthusiastically to the
ordinance of induction and were
soon more or less completely organ
lied into ecclesiastical bodies. But
in the shortest time possible they
betrayed the infinite Caesar taxed
them with. They proved themselves
as he said they would, changeable
in counsels and fond of novelties.
For when Tudaising emissaries ap-
peared, the Galatians were easily
moved to another gospel, and forget
ting the bearing which they had been
taught Christians should maintain
towards each other they began to
bite and devour."
This was the occasion of the most
vriile of all the Epistles. 1t opens
with a caustic rebuke and anathma.
If it seems stern and reproachful it
must be remembered that it was
addressed to half-barberous peo-
pie.
The purpose is to show the pres
ent inutility of the ceremonial law
and to drive these foolish prevents
back to the fold. Some think that

Continued Covering
Made Cotton Advance
Net Gain OF 6 to rs Points
Shown At The Close
Spot Higher.

New York, September 21-The
cotton market was quiet again to-
day, but there was a further advance
continued covering and moderate
buying by trade interests, with the
close steady at a net gain of 6 to %
points.
The market opened steady, at an
advance of 20 points on September
and 3 "a 5 points on later months,
the bulge in September being due to
a little furry of buying by shorts,
while later months showed the in
fiuence of steady cables and private
advices from Liverpool, claiming that
spinners were selling yarns at profit
able prices; thus suggesting little
likelihood of actual lockout on Octo-
Der /.
Right after the opening, September
lost IS points under realizing and
later positions sagged off to practi-
calIy the closing figures of yesterday,
but in spite of favorable eather
advices, offerings we're not agrees
i've, and the market soon firmed up
on buying by trade interests, cover
ing and supporting bull leaders.
Numerous private advices from the
south, reporting rapid deterioration
in crop prospects during the past
ten days, were circulating through
the street, and possibly made some
impression on sentiment. as suggest
ing a bullish government condition

seemed more particularly influenced
by the failure of the eastern belt
movement to increase as rapidly as
expected, and after early reports
indicating steady spot markets.
prices here worked into new high
ground for the day on October and
later months. The close was only
3 and 4 points off from the best
unber realizing.
Southern spot markets, as official
ly reported, were unchanged to 1-8 C
higher, and if, as stated by local
brokers, the south is offering cotton
freely, there must be fairly active
demand to sustain prices.

Two Italians LynChed
= By Mob In Tampa

Tampa, Fla, Sept. 21-General
quiet prevailed here today follow
ing the lynching late last night of
Castenge Ficcarrotta and Angelo
Albano, two Italian leaders in the
cigar strike, which has been in ef-
feet for some time. The lynching
was evidently the result of a well
laid plot, and so quietly were the
men taken from the deputy sheriffs
and so smoothly was the execution
carried out that the authorities to-
day expressed little hope of arrest
ing the lyncherS.
The two Italians were in Jail
charged with completely in the
shooting of j. F. Easterling, an at
tache of the cigar firm of Bustillo
Bros. & Diaz.
Ficcarrotta and Albano were
locked in the West Tampa barracks.
Rumors of a plot to lynch the men
resulted in their removal. About
10 o'clock last night they were plac-
ed in a carriage and, guarded by
Deputy Sheriffs Evans and Bryan,
were started for the county Jail.
En- route the hack was stopped by
masked and armed men and the
two were taken away from the offic-
erS.
The deputies were warned not to
resist and the men admonished to
make no resistance. They were
taken to a nearby forest and strung
up to trees,
A SOLEMN WARNING
When the remains were cut down
it was found that the men were
both hanged to the same limb be-
cause the mob failed to sever the
handouts. Ficcarrotta had his pipe
gripped firmly in the his teeth and
wore his hat.

the men this notice, signed Justice"

only allowed to run at their pleasure:
The general manager has been notified
that both passenger and freight trains
may run for commercial purposes but
that if an attempt is made to carry a

will be blown from the rails. The in
surgents are still menacing Chihuahua
and further attacks may be made a any
time.
The federal forces at Parral fear that
they will not be able to hold the town
against an attack by insurrectlonists
and are calling for reinforcements. A
detachment of cavalry has been order
ed to the scene with orders to attack
and dislodge the insurgents from their
stronghold in a mountain near the city.
1t is expected that a battle will take
place today with the issue uncertain,
as the rebels are gathering strength
and resources. 1t is declared by many
that if the soldiers enter the mountain
fastness, they will never come out alive.
