Scruples of Tender Hearted.

Fly specks were deprecated as tokens of
careless housekeeping as well as because
they were unsightly. When poisoned fly
papers were invented tender hearted folk
had scruples about using them. Not for
the good and sufficient reason that should
Danish them from every home-to wit:
that the stricken wretches fell into food
and crawled into corners to die, leaving
poisonous atoms to avenge their taking off.
Our mothers thought it "cruel to kill the
harmless innocents"
I have heard them decant upon the evil
effects of the wholesale slaughter upon the
infant mind Uncle Toby left his imprint
upon the generation following. The fly, in
their opinion, had as much right to life,
liberty. and the enjoyment of happiness as
the human biped.

 . .OF LABOR CONGRESS

Atlanta. December 9.-Permanent or ganization was effected today by dele gates from 13 southeastern states attend ing the southeastern labor congress, which began sessions this afternoon. Je- rome Jones. Atlanta. editor of the Journal of Labor, was elected president and w C. Puckett, Atlanta, secretary treasurer.
 A spirited debate over the admission of delegates to the congress preceded the perfecting of the permanent organiza- tion. It finally was agreed to maintain an 'open forum," allowing all laboring men to have a vote in the conference. This action was taken upon the recom- mendation of the credentials committee composed of one man from each of the l3 states represented.
 At tonights session of the congress Judson King of Philadelphia, secretary of the Initiative. Referendum and Recall League of America, delivered an address in which he outlined the history of the initiative, referendum and recall move- ment

MR. TAFT MAY GO ID PANAMA NEXT WEEK
Would Have Been Pleased if Governor Wilson Had
 Decided to Go

Washington, December 9.-President Taft's plans for a trip to Panama ad- vaneed to point where the 18th of this month was tentatively selected as the date of starting today.
 It was understood here that the inten- tion of the President to visit the isthmus before he retires from office was in- nuenoed partly at least by President elect Wilson's decision not to do SD. Under the new Panama canal law the President is charged with tho respon- siblity of putting into effect the new government for the canal zone. It is understood that Mr. Taft would have been pleased if MT. Wilson had deter- mined to make a trip to the canal strip and perfect the new government after he came into office with a personal ln- speeton of conditions there to assist him. It is now possible that President Taft before he goes out of office vii do it himself. Secretary Meyer of tho navy department has ordered the new dreadnaught Arkansas to be at Key West on December 13. No date was fixed for her departure. One other battleshiI will accompany the Arkansas on tn, voyage. It probably will be the Della wares honor.

CAN TRUSTS FORCE
 DEBTORS ID PAY?
Question Will Be Decided by Supreme Court of
 United States

Washington, December 9.-Trusts would not be able to collect through the courts. single penny of debt due them if the supreme court npholds the conten- ton made in a case brought before 1t today.
 The Corn Products Refining company of New York, sued to recover $1245 from D. R. Wilder Manufacturing company of Atlanta. Ga. for glucose and grape sugar sold to the Atlanta company. The Atlanta company pleads that the Corn Products Refining company had monopo- lzed the glucose and grape sugar busi- ness, and that 1t had entered into a rebate contract with it's patrons all in violation of the sherman antitrust law. The alleged rebate contract" was a so-called profit sharing plan of the New York company, by which 1t agreed to return to it's patrons 10 per cant of their purchases, providing that in the year succeeding the purchases, they gave their trade exclusively to the Corn Prod ucts Refining company.
 Only once in recent years has fhe point involved been before the supreme court That was in the Continental Wall Paper case. in which the court refused to lend itself to collection of a debt, because of an illegal combination in violation of the sherman antitrust law. Unless advanced. the case will not he con sidered by the court for more than two years. The lete Justice Harlan wrote the opinion of the Continental Wall Paper case Several other changes in the personnel of the court have occurred since that case was decided.

MUCH PLEASED WITH CHICAGO LAND SHOW
Radcliffe States Many h. quiries Now Coming In.
 Boosting Canal

sThe great interested manifested by the visitors of the Chicago Land show in the Jefferson county exhibit was very gratifying" said Secretary w. c. Rad cliffe of the local Chamber of Commerce yesterday. Mir. Radcliffe has just re- turned from a ten days trip to the Chi eago Land show and the Rivers and liar bors congress in Washington, D. (. He said.
 Lee Cowart. the state commissioner of immigration, had an information bureau adjacent to the Jefferson county exhibit and it was to him that the visitors would show their interest. on the subject of Alabama. The visitors naturally would expect the attendants of the Jefferson county exhibit to boost their district. so they would pass on to MT. Cowarts bu- reau and question him on the agricultural prospects of this great state. From my personal observations, MT. Cowart was doing great work in enlightening people who inquired of Alabama and especially Jefferson county.
 T personally feel that the money ex- pended by the Chamber of Commerce in the Jefferson county exhibit at Chicago was one of the best investments We could have made. Letters are pouring into my office from prospective locaters from Va rious states who witnessed the Jefferson exhibit in Chicago These letters are be- ing rapidly answered with the necessary information requested.
 While ill Washington at the Rivers and Harbors congress l learned something of the best method to follow up the Bir- mingham canal report of Engineer Flag Ter, and will proceed accordingly. The congress was the most successful in the history of. the organization. Alabama had creditable representation, composed of ". P. G. Harding, Robert Jemison, Sr., and l.. SeVier."
