Badly Beaten Up.
Information was received here this
morning that John Neal, well known
mill worker Of Rock Hill. was found
in the woods near the Manchester
cotton mill yesterday afternoon, help
less as the result Of a severe beating
with clubs. Neal Is in the Fennell
hospital and DR.. Fennell said yester-
day that he did not know what would
be the probable result Of his injuries.
It is believed that Meals assailants

A tennessee Storm.
"One thing I intended to write
about while was In Troy" said Rev.
]. L. Oates yesterday, was a remark
able storm I witnessed out there. It
was while synod was in session. Rev.
B. H. Grier was first to call attention
to II, suggesting to the moderator that
1t might be very well to allow the
congregation to go home II 1t desired,
and leave the members of synod to
continue in session as long as they
desired. There was an immediate
scurrying of the congregation; and
many of US went out to look at the
storm. We could see 1t many miles
off, extending across two counties:
with one wing over the Mississippi
river and the other extending across
the low lying landscape. The cloud
seemed to be resting on blaze OF fire.
counted the flashes Of lightning more
than fifty to the minute. There was
terrific wind and many chimneys
were thrown down in two or three
counties and there was much other
damage. The mercury registered
about 70 degrees when the storm
came up and next morning 1t was
down 10 20. 1t was all quite remark
able to me; but people out there told
me that such storms were Of frequent

There is no reasonable doubt of the
fact that the cotton crop could be
made a basis of currency, within GER
tain reasonable limitations, and why
the statesmen of the country will not
take the matter up is difficult to un-
derstand on any other basis than that
the big interests which are now able
to get so much out of the cotton crop,
realize that they would have to take
less If producers should get more.

1t is rather an unusual thing to see
an interview with the president of

From the Survey.
 In the New York Dramatic Mirror re- gently there appeared a full page article on the Stage and Stage Children by Blanche Bates. Curiously enough, this article by talented actress has not been reprinted On the other hand, letter from the general secretary of the Ma tional Child Labor committee to the pub fisher, asking the privilege of reprinting the article with proper credit, brought a fiat refusal on the ground that it was at variance with the views of the magazine.
 The reason for this silence on the part of those who clamor to exempt theatrical interests from the operation of child labor laws is not far to. seek Miss Bates chal- lenges every argument that has been ad- vanced in favor of child labor on the stage She maintains that such explota- tion is injurious to the child and to the theatre. Regarding the development of dramatic ability, she says:
 In acting, the one funda mental, abso- lute requisite is agination-imagination which can analyze and entirely compre- hend character in all it's mental and physical aspects, and then can assume them so vividly that others are com pelled to see the character in the same way. This is precisely what the stage does not teach the child. The stage in structs him to initiate, not to imagine"
 Discussing the unnatural surroundings of the stage and the tendency of children to initiate the unusual, she says: "A child is more apt to be completely and irrevo- cably ruined by the artifciality of the stage than to be elevated and embodied" Her answer to those who claim that great artists have been developed through early life on the stage is:
 Tt is quite as fair to say that these ac- tresses have achieved their rank at the front of their profession in spite of their early connection with the stage, as to n- sist that they won success because of | their environment. Without the handi- cap, they might have gone on to even | loftier heights"

belt as whole" says the New Or leans Times-Democrat, the prospect is one of the best ever known at this date" One more general rain extend ing over the cotton belt would make record crop exceeding 14,000,000 bales. Cotton is equipped with tap root that enables it to stand great deal of hot dry weather.
 Not so with the great crops of the northwest. All of them have been in- jured by the heat and drouth of June. Professor Mural, acting chief of the crop reporting board of the depart ment of agriculture, says the hay fields will yield but two-thirds of a normal crop, while the crop will be 25 per cent below that of last year. The corn acreage is large and yet Profes- sor Murray says the crop will be 5 per cent below last years record crop. The white potato crop in tre north will probably be very short. C.
 To sum up, there will be a good crop of wheat, and small crops of oats, barley, rye, white potatoes, and hay. The drouth and heat damaged all crops growing north of the Ohio and east of the Rocky mountains.
 Alabama stands serene in this tor rid summer. She bids fair to grow 100000 bales of cotton-a record crop-and the government says she has 3,665,000 acres of corn that showed July 1 a condition of 86 per cent of normal, or just the average condition of the last ten years. The condition of Alabama corn is tfifle better than that of Georgia or Missis- sippi corn. If the Alabama corn fields could produce an average of 20 bushels an acre this state would grow all the corn her people would need this year. Poor cultivation will, alas, reduce Alabama's acerage production below 20 bushels an acre.

ON THE SAFETY OF SAFES

in the abstract, is not pertinent to the
 question of securing money from burglars.
 Rather it should read. "There is some- | thing made by the hand of man that can
 not be unmade by the hand of man work | ing under burglars conditions" That
 qualification stating the difficulty of tic | condition under which burglar must work so limits the would-be safebreaker i that the latest and best safes and vaults
 have not been burglarized, nor are they l likely to be by any means now known. A
 burglar is limited in time. Probably an attack by force on a safe has never been kept up more than three hours. Attack by stealth may be conducted for weeks, | it is true. but such an attack has never been conducted against safe or vault
 of anything like the maximum strength. i In an attack by force, which nearly al- ways involves the use of nitroglycerin, | the amount of explosive which would be needed to burst open one of the best
 modern safes is too much for burglar | to think seriously of using. When a safe | will succumb and yield it's contents to the power of few ounces of explosive, as
 many do, the burglar can cope success fully with it, but when many pounds are
 required and the possibility of acquiring
 any passabe money is practically zero | the chances of profit are wiped out and
 the burglar looks for something easier. | The famous robbery of the Northampton bank, which the article refers to, was ac-
 complished not by Duplicate keys" as l stated, but by the capture of the cash I
 ton of the combination lock. Such a lock l is not operated by key. The chief and | lasting result of that robbery, from the
 safemaker's standpoint was the general
 introduction of the time lock, which Is a
 clock or heavy watch movement so con-
 neoted with the locking mechanism that
 after the safe or vault is locked it can-
 not be unlocked by any one until the
 movement has run a prearranged number
 of hours. Thus the time lock is for the personal protection of the cashier, and
 for that alone. It adds nothing to the security of the safe against forcible at-
 tack. Incidentally it gives a degree of
 protection against robbery by some ono inside the bank who may know the com ! bination of the safe.
 Nitroglycerin in the form of dynamite was first used in safe robbery about the | year 1885 and the criminal brain seemed | to be master of the situation. About two years before, however, the scientific brain had been active and manganese steel was discovered. This steel is the only known substance which is both extremely hard and extremely ductile at the same time. A otb hor al ra | lively speaking. Any one can understand that great hardness and great toughness ought to be possessed by a safe liable to be attacked by drill or nitroglycerin, but | the adaptation of the metal to the pur- | pose was not an offhand matter, and | many years elapsed before it was seri- | ously taken up and good safes made of I manganese steel.

A Question of Principle

'I have heard many men who voted dry in 1907 say they will vote for saloons in
 the forthcoming election, because pro-
 hibition has been tried and has proved to
 be d failure.' said an old democrat. II voted wet and will always vote agalnst
 prohibition, but because the principle of prohibition is utterly at variance with the
 idea of personal liberty. If taking drink of liquor were a sin or crime in itself, then we should have laws against selling or drinking alcoholic beverages; just as we have laws against murder and other
 crimes; but the mere act of taking a drink is neither a crime nor a sin, unless the
 drinker~ happens to be a drunkard.
 "All the presidents of the United States
 in my day have had something to say on
 the liquor question. All have expressed
 themselves plainly and their utterances
 have been against anything like constitu- tional or statutory prohibition. And this fact should be remembered. Statesmen Of the presidential class have never based their arguments on the fmpracticability of prohibition, but their opposition was
 chiefly because statutory prohibition sci at naught the principle of personal lib- erty."

STORY OF HAWKINS TAYLOR

From the Washington Post.
 Do you recal lthe recent reference in the newspapers to Judge David Davis of Illinois, who was senator some years ago?| asked Ambrose E. Valentine of Chicago, at the Dewey last night Some one had published an old letter written by Davis early in the Lincoln adminstra- ton about patronage and had asked if Hawkins Taylor had received an appoint ment. None of the older Illinois re- publicans or democratic politicians in Washington seemed to know anything about Taylor, and wondered if he had figured in the early political affairs of the Sucker state Now, Hawkins Taylor was not actually in politics, but as de- tective he did some valuable work for the government in the later years of his life, and was here in Washington. l was told today that some of his children or grand children may be living here now. He has been dead over 30 years. but his work is not forgotten in Iowa and Illinois. Before the civil war Hawkins Taylor was living at Keokuk. Ia., and he figured in the operations against the Mormons when they had a temple at Nauvoo, H., across the river from his Iowa home. Tay- Tor had an intense hatred of Mormon methods, apart from his work as a detec- tive, and it was understood that his life was in danger becatse of his efforts against the Nauvoo settlement. Possibly he was later employed for some special service in the Lincoln campaign of 1860 and rewarded with appointment in the tresury or given work in connection with the war. I am not sure that he came in contact much with President Lincoln, but he may have been detailed to aid the Pinkertons or to watch the Confederate sympathizers in Washington city. He al- ways had a special fondness for Illinois visitors who came to Washington, and in some campaigns he visited the state to help friends like David Davids and the supporters of Lincoln. No doubt Senator Cullom will recall the name, even if he did not know Taylor personally"

IN. HOTEL LOBBIES
Texas and Oklahoma

Vice President J. w Mcqueen of the | Sloss-S Sheffield Steel and Iron company has returned from trip to Texas and ! Oklahoma. He visited Oklahoma City, Fort Worth and Dallas.
 q found distressing weather conditions in Oklahoma" said MT. Mcqueen. Corn was badly damaged by the drouth Most of it seemed to be literally burned up. Oklahoma has been suffering from drouth for three years.
 .Ir Texas there had been damage from drouth in some localities, but on the whole the cotton crop seemed to be all right. Texas is a most prosperous state, but water is a scarcity there now. Even at Dallas drinking water had to be hauled from distance. With all their rich soil Oklahoma and Texas are subject to such excessively dry spells as to make Ala bama seem an ideal state. This state is good enough for me. and I appreciate it's varied resources and its climatic ad- vantages now more than ever"
 MT. Mcqueen said that he found great deal of excitement in Texas over the statewide prohibition campaign. The election takes place week from next Saturday and it looked to Mr. Mcqueen as II the local optionists would win.

How To Boom a Town

The New Orleans Item says any city can be developed by adopting these three words, Boost, Buy and Build" Instead of howlers or even doubters a town needs boosters who will boost at every turn and under every circum- stance-incessant boosters who are even at times a trifle unreasonable in the minds of the boosters of rival town.
 Then, too, every available dollar should be put into home dirt, and this should be done before prices have gone up beyond reach. Real estate that is constantly advancing is the safest property in the world. No one can steal it and if it be but dirt no fire can damage it, and one can afford to take the chances of an earthquake or two.
 After one has bought lot then the patriotic citizen and boomer will put building on it, and when he has done that his conscience should, rest easy. He has done his part. He has been booster, a buyer and builder, and that is just about the entire round of city development. The citizen who does not boost, buy and build falls short of the highest development standard.
 Birmingham is one of the best towns in the country in which to ap- ply this rule of the Item. Land is stih cheap in nearly every part of the city and houses of all sorts are in demand, and the booster can always find here an audience and plenty of associate boosters. It costs nothing in this city to be booster, buyer and a builder. It will in fact put money in ones pocket.
