PRESIDENT ADMONISHES
LABOR DAY THRONG ON HOW
TO ATTAIN GOOD RESULTS

In his Labor Day address at the State
Fair Grounds Mr.. Taft said:
This is Labor Day-a day given over
to emphasizing the Importance of manual
labor in our civilization and 10 properIv
exalting its dignity. The two classes in
the community that are most important
are its farmers and its workingmen: and
this occasion. and this date. suggest
thoughts OF both. There Is sitting now
in the city or st. Paul a convention for
the promotion OF the conservation Of our
national resources.
To no one does that subject come home
with more vital significance than 10 the
farmer. II anybody Is 20 profit by con-
servation. and il anybody is 10 make con-
servation profitable to others. it is the
farmer. He IS the one who by the
manipulation Of the soil. It's proper treat
emnt its drainage or irrigation. its fer
tilization. is TO make It yield the largest
crops under conditions that will preserve
It best for future years Of usefulness.
This has been recognized by the gen.
eral government IN the establishment Of
Department Of Agriculture where. in
its bureaus Of research, the secrets OF
nature have been revealed for the profit
able development of modern farming:
and proper publicity has been given so
that those who till the soil may take
advantage OF the new discoveries.
Experiment stations have been estab-
hshed the country over; free lectures
have been given at the expense OF the
government for the benefit OF farming
communities; contributions have been
made TO agricultural colleges. and every
thing that wise craftsmanship could sug-
gest has been afforded by the general
government within its jurisdiction for the
production Of greater and better crops

FINES CHAUFFEUR
 FOR FAST RIDING
James A. Steele Tells the Court That Man With Auto Has the Right
 to "Speed Little,

The fact that James A. Steel, who is the chauffeur that ran into a car driven by E. L. Moore, a real estate man. at Avenue D and Twenty-first street. thinks that man who owns an automobile has a right to speed a little" did not ex- cuse him yesterday in police court Judge Feagin fined Steele s1O0 for exceeding the speed limit.
 The accident happened Thursday, when it is claimed, Steele and another chauf- feur indulged in a race while going south on Twenty-first street. MT. Moore was going along Twenty-frst in the opposite direction.
 He saw the two machines coming, but thought he could go between them. He tried to do so and Steele's car hit the car driven by Moore and threw MT. Moore to the ground, slightly bruising him and hurting his left arm.
 The other chauffeur was not known. The police were notified of the accident and arrested Steele who is employed by c. c. Nixon, 617 South Twentieth street. Steele claimed that he was going p miles an hour when he hit the car which was driven by MT. Moore.
 Mir. Moore was not seriously hurt. The car which he was driving. however, was badly damaged and will need many re- pairs. MT. Moore lives at 911 South Twelfth street and continued about his l business after the accident

forge they may be welded into valuable chain of historical narrative. When gath cred generation or more after the death of the participants they become idealized and constitute tradition and poetic fiction
 l" The Stohy of Coal and Non in Ala bama' comes fresh from the mine. the forge and the workshop. The majority of the actors in the drama are still living, and are in a position to certify the details of the story or to correct and modify its statements
 Looking at this work from the educa- tional viewpoint 1 commend it as a de- narture from the old ideal of historical narrative. The history of the schools has been, and largely continues to be, a eatalog and description of campaigns and bloody battlefields. War, with it's savage agencies, has been idealized as the noblest of human occupations, and the warrior has been placed before the youth of our country as the hero to be idolized and worshipped The time has come in the development of the race when indus trial and commercial history should take precedence in the schools over the history of war; when the development of the con struetive factors of civilization should be deemed of greater importance than those destructive agencies which sacrifice hu- man life and human happiness and de- vastate the property accumulated by gen. erations of manlxind when the real hero shall be not the soldier who destroys life, but the industrial leader who develops the resources of the earth and builds our towns and cities.
 The Story of Coal and Iron in Ala bama' is a source book of industrial his tory It is @ book of reference to which the writers of history in the future may turn for authentic facts and verified de- tails regarding the industrial development of Alabama. Ultimately it points to the time when we shall eliminate from our text books in history much that relates to war and munitions of war and substitute more and more a narrative of those indus trial and commercial stages of develop ment by which the race has attained it's present progress"
 A committee consisting of E. M. Tut wiler, J. D. Elliott, Culpepper Exum, Frank Nelson and John l.. Raul was ap- pointed to place the book before the pub lie and assist in making it a financial sue cess.

GOOD RESPONSE IS
 MADE FOR REUNION

Gratifying progress continues to be made with the fund which is being raised to send needy Confederate veterans of Jefferson county to the reunion at Mo- bile. Chairman Exum of the committee named by the Yancey chapter, Daughters of the Confectionery. is receiving cheering responses to his efforts and it appears that there will be sufficient funds to send the veterans now at home as well as number in the Soldiers Home at Noun tain Creek, who were sent there from Jefferson county, and who will not be able to attend the reunion unless they are given some assistance
 A letter from the superintendent of the Mountain Creek home yesterday called attention to the fact that these old men were in the home and MT. Exum was positive in his determination to see that there is enough money raised to send all of them. When the fund is completed the money will be turned over to Yancey chapter, under whose auspices the fund was started and such veterans as go will make the trip as guests of the Yancey chapter.

 A Greenville special says
 The autopsy held at the grave of Ivey D. Basden yesterday adds another chapter to the finding of the 16-year-old boys body early in the morning of November 6, which caused a sensation, and has been shrouded in mystery since that time. The autopsy was performed at ? o'clock by pr. J. T. Broughton. and the skull of the head was completely removed before the bullet could be found that caused the boys death.
 Besides pr. Broughton attending the autopsy, were the boys father and grandfather, H. A. Baisden, and Z T. Baisden, Joe Dickeson, Frank Creech and Will Frank Creech.
 So quietly was work carried on that the news had gained no circulation up to this time, and the boys father is out of town, and no reason can be ascertained as to why the autopsy was held
 The finding of young Baisden's dead body on an autumn morning on the closing of last year created proIounu sensation, and no clue has ever been found as to the cause of the tragedy. The governor and the boys father have had standing reward for any informa- ton leading to the cause of the boys death. It was stated that the bullet taken from Ivey D. Baisdens head at the au- topsy was the bullet of a Al calibre pistol, the same size as that fired from the pistol that was found on Baisden'N body.
