Electric Line About Complete

It is said that work will be completed this week on the high tension electric power line, which has been under course of construction between this city and Talladega for the past year, and when the facilities which 1t affords are placed in operation it will mean much to the future development of Anniston.

morning, It's meat and bread to their souls
 Then think of the lordiy power and don't forget the steady flow of money squeezed from the workman's hard earned pay envelope.
 But when these leaders tie up any industry no man can hold job who re- fuses to pay fines even on trumped up charges, and steadily pay fees what ever they are.
 The workman Is absolutely at the mercy of this band of men who nave secured and hold control Many and many an honest workman has raised his voice and appealed to his fellows to rise and throw off the yoke of Gompers, ct al. But. as one writes, At every convention of the American Federation of Labor. strong opposition comes up, but at the critical moment the impassioned orator ap- pears and most dramatically puts the spot light on the leader and covers him with a mawkish film of 'martrydom' and the emotional delegates yell in de- light forgetting the instructions of the peaceful workingmen at home who desire to free themselves from the odium of membership under the great advocates of strike, boycott, violence and hate"
 So we see the unequalled insolence with which these trust leaders propose to induce" ministers to pull their chestnuts from the fire by preaching
 modern aggressive and violent labor trust methods.
 There Ia a better way to secure jus tice for workers, as will appear furth- CT along.
 Just little diversion here. | I am charged with having first | brought to the attention of the public | some years ago, the name Labor | Trust"
 | A trust Is a combination of men or organiza tions for the purpose of sell | ing their product at a profit and re- stricting production to effect it. We will say a large oil Company gathers in smaller ones and thus con trols production. The Labor Trust gathers in" local trade organizations and thus has pow
 CT to say how much work each man shall do.
 The oil Company then fixes the
 prices.
 The Labor Trust does likewise.
 The oil Company may use methods | to force an unwilling dealer to join. The Labor Trust men go further and l slug the independent man if he tries tc sell his labor without paying fees and "obeying orders." They are bott exactly alike in purpose. which, ir
 both cases is entirely selfish to gair power and money for the leaders. Certain Labor Trust members do mol
 hesitate to use violence, dynamiting oi property. burning homes of independ-
 ent men and even murder to force obedience.
 The Oil Company does not go so far
 Both are extremely dangerous to the
 welfare of people and communities fol power placed in the hands of a few
 men either representing Capital or La l bor Is almost always abused and tho public suffers.
 Remember reader that your safety lies In strenuous opposition to al trusts which try to ride over and die tate to the people.

has made his appearance, Dul so idi hae not done him very great damage, and he expects a better cotton crop than he made last year. while his corn, potatoes, cane. etc. just cannot be beat anywhere. These are the kind of farmers the Mis- sissppi association want and are after, and all of whom will be cordially well comed to any intelligent community in the state.
 The Farmers union has extended very cordial invitation to the woolgrowers of the state to use their great warehouses for the storage of wool, provided they wish to hold 1t for better prices, and guar anteeing to them the same treatment and fair dealing that has characterized the management in it's dealings with the cot ton raisers. Wool has been selling at ridiculously low prices, it is said, be- ing but or cents better price than is being paid for cotton.
 The State Fair is two months of, put the management is already assured of tho best line of exhibits they have ever had of the largest number of entries from the greatest number of states of first-class amusements, including the 101 ranch, fly ing machines and aviation contest, good horse races. great numbers of head or thoroughbred live stock, especially hogs and cattle of every recognized breed.
 Work has already begun on the grounds and they will be in perfest shape by the middle of October. 1t has been found necessary to almost double the capacity of the poultry houses. There were more than 1000 fine birds on exhibition last year, and Superintendent Taylor expects at least 2OOO this fall, making this the greatest poultry exhibit in the south.
 Governor Noel stated last night, just after he had decided to name D. M. Kim brough of Oxford chancellor of the Third district instead of reappointing Chancellor Blount of Water Valley, that it was one of the hardest questions he had been called on to decide Since he had been gov personal friends, always had been. One is as competent, perhaps, as the other; there was very little difference in the matter of inducements, except that MT. Kimbrough had somewhat the better of tKat on which account he won out. TIt was different with Chancellor McCool He had by far the greater number Of in- dorsements Nearly every lawyer in his own and In adjoining districts had peti- tioned the governor to reappoint him, and that controlled. Judge McCool was first appointed by Governor Longino, again by Governor vardaman, and this appoint ment by Governor Noel gives him three consecutive terms. He has been weighed in the balance and never yet found want ing.

 Some of my forebears in New Eng land left comfortable homes, took with them the old flint locks. slept on the ground in rain and frost; hungry, foot sore, and half clothed they grimly pushed on where the Eternal God of Human Liberty urged them. They wove for me and for you a mantle of freedom, woven in loom where the shuttles were cannon balls and bullets and where swords were used to pick out the tangles in the yarn.
 These old. sturdy grandads of ours stood by that loom until the mantle was finished, then. stained with their life blood it was handed down to 9us. Shall refuse to bear 1t on my sboul- ders because the wearing costs me a few dollars. and are you towards enough to hide yours because some foreign labor union anarchist orde rs you to strip 1t off?

If is rather curious that a northern farmer, one who has lived here but a few years. should be the first to market a bale of this years cotton, raised in Kinds county, at Jackson, but that is what M. W. Curry did day or two since. The bale weighed 55s pounds and sold for 15c.
 MT Curry came to Jackson 10 or F years ago and purchased an old worn out farm three miles west of town. On this he went to work with determna- tion to make 1t sustaining, and ne mas managed to do better than that. one of the first things he did was to set out a few thousand peach trees, and from these he has since sold thousands Of bushels at good prices. He has raised cotton and corn successfully, rotating his crops with peas so that his land has improved year by year instead or de- teriorating He has planted largely oi oats. and this year thresned more than sOOo bushels, for which he found ready sale on the local market
 For next year MT. Curry states he has already purchased a much larger thresh- inr machine. one that will thresh 2000 bushels of oats or wheat per day, and ne will be ready to help his neighbors over their troubles if they so desire He has become convinced that wheat will grow just as well and make just about as much per acre here as in his old home In the north. and will plant 75 to 100 acres to wheat this fall, while his neighbors will no doubt follow his example to some ex- tent MT.

These will be used largely to prove or disprove the claim of Dulaney that he cannot get a fair trial at Jack son. In the event. Judge Henry grants the motion for the change of venue the case will go to Madison or to Yazoo county, the only other counties in this district.
 The attorneys for Dulaney are William son & Wells and May x Saunders of the Jackson bar and R. N. Miller of Hazel hurst. Those for the state are District Attorney M. S. McNeil and Y. J.
