Giant Work Of the Steel Corporation

The annual report of the United States
Steel Corporation for the year 1909 is
packed full of interesting facts and fig
ares. This great corporation, for exam
pie. carried the names of 1875, 800 employees
in the average on its payrolls, or about
three times as many names as the United
States carries on it's army rolls To these
employees it paid last year 1851, 66s 1874. In
the term steel corporation" is included
all subsidiary companies, including the
Tennessee company, of which Mr.. Craw-
ford is president
The steel corporation had on hand, at
the end of the year, raw materials, fin
shed products, supplies, blooms billets
and slabs, to the value of s16S,S11 go. 1t
viii thus be seen that it needs a very
considerable working capital in conduct
ing its 127 blast furnaces. 35 Bessemer
converters 25l open-hearth furnaces, S
blooming. billet and slab mills, IA sheet
bar mills. rail mills. and 2s5 black plate
mills. besides II iron ore mines in the
Lake Superior region, and p in Alabama,
and 2o,ss3 beehive coke ovens in the Con-
Jacksonville region. 1t has other ovens in
West Virginia, Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and
Alabama
The report describes the new construc-
ton of the year, and the work being
done at Corey just outside of Birming-
ham. 1t is set forth just as fully as is
the work that is being done at Gary.
The smoke and turmoil of the year re-
suited in a net operative profit of $751;
491, 413, as against a net profit of $751;
s47, 10 in the previous year. The profits
of 1909 fell. however. below the profits
of either 1906 or 1907. The last named
stands as the corporations most prof
table year. To earn the profit of 1909 it
produced 9,S5s.6eO tons of iron and steel
products. The earnings per ton were
s13 "a. This shows the advantage that
finished products have over plain pig
iron. or even basic iron. Finished prod
ucts yielded in 1909 just about SO per ton
less in net profits than those of 1907 did.

BISHOP GAILoR's SPEECH
Preachers should Keep Out of Politics,
He Says

Trenton n. J.-(Special to the Nashville
American )-Bishop Thomas Gailor of the
Episcopal diocese of Tennessee, delivered
the principal address at the Christian So
cial union. a national organization of
the Protestant Episcopal church, Wednes-
day in Trinity Episcopal church, in which
he deplored the presence of ministers In
politics. He urged a conservative but
unflinching policy for the eradication OF
wrongs among the people, but contended
that acknowledgements and impulsveness
may mar the noblest endeavors
THAT is what is the trouble in Ten
nessee' he said where the temperance
agitation resulted in unwise. Legislation.
Many people thought statewide prohibit
ton to be the ideal remedy. Instead OF
calling to their aid some experts on the
subject, and having laws framed that
could be enforced, they forced through the
legislature a measure that has led to
civic degeneracy. 1t is impracticable. The
reformers should leave lawmaking to wise
experts, and be content with educating
public sentiment.
Some people think that one of the
most horrible wrongs of the day is con-
stituted by the unjust taxation to which
the masses are subjected through the
tariff That does not mean that | should
participate in any political wrangle on
the tariff.

pert specialists in economies.
when a question gets into politics, 1t
is good thing for the pulpit to leave 1t
alone 4a
1.-THE time has come when a clergyman
can not safely take part in political strife.
When a remedy involves the securing of a
profitable office by a politician, both sides
are apt to be clouded by selishness and
greed. The pulpit must not allow itself
to be dragged down into participation In
premature or ill-advised reforms

TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH
From INCIDENTAL Summary.
Because your health depends upon your
teeth.
Your teeth prepare your food for diges-
ton.
Without good teeth you cannot digest
your food.
Without proper digestion you cannot
have health.
Brushing your teeth will prevent their
decay.
Decay is due to uncleanliness. clean
tooth cannot decay.
Disease is often caused by decayed
teeth.
A clean mouth is an evidence of re,
1nement.
Get the habit of brushing your teeth
Brush your teeth at least three times a
day-onee after each meal.
Brush between the teeth and around
the gums; food gathers and sticks there.
Toothpowder cleans the teeth and puri-
fies the breath.
There is no doubt the spread of tuber-
culosis is often caused by decayed teeth.
From q health standpoint, it is more
important to brush the teeth after each
meal than to wash the face on rising.

Descendant of Charles Carroll

Albert II. Carroll of Baltimore and
Washington, after spending several
days here looking after business in
terests. returned east yesterday. He
is q great great grandson of Charles
Carroll of Carrolton. a signer of the
Declaration of Independence.
Charles Carroll died in 1892 and
was the last survivor of the distin
guished patriots whose names were af
fixed to the declaration" said Bir-

history and who is a friend of the Car
rolls of today 1.-The patriot Carroll
was born in Maryland but was edu
Gated abroad-in Ireland and in France
He was a gentleman of great dignity
and was one of the most scholarly men
of the revolutionary period. When the
colonies rebelled against England he
was reputed to be the wealthiest man
in America. AS rule the colonists
of large means became royalists and
that being so Carroll was all the more
notable for his pratiotic attitude.
"Carrolton is Is miles from Balti-
more and the Carroll estate consists
of fully 10000 acres. 1t is a manor
in the English law sense, being land
granted by the crown to a noble or
gentleman able to maintain a lordly
esta blishment with retainers. There
has never been a deed to the prop

THE manor house was built of Eng
