:: : PASS SUFFRAGE BILL
Fargo Woman Who Heads Suffrage
Movement for Women in State,
Wants Sentiment Created

Mrs. Kate S. Wilder, chairman of
the Woman's Committee of the, state,
of the organization favoring woman S
suffrage, is taking quite an active
Part in the Progressive movement in
the state. She hopes eer long to
see so much sentiment for woman's
suffrage in the state, that the legis-
lature will enact a bill which will
ALLOW women the use of the tallot.
In letter addressed to co-workers
in the state, Mrs Wilder says. You
have heard or read that the National
Progressive party placed a plank "a
voring the acknowledgment of women
in it's party platform. The North
Dakota Progressives endorsed woman
suffrage at the state convention.
These men are able to do great
deal for suffrage and are sincere in
their offer of help. The women Of
the state should avail themselves of
this support. Let us help our cause
by helping theirs for they are our
avowed friends.
We must interview personally as
many men and women as possible,
distribute literature, hold meetings.
etc, SO that there will be a great deal
of suffrage sentiment when the leg
islature meets The legislature must
mot ignore the suffrage cause and
we are sure a bill can be passed this
winter II the women are really act
ive.''

o'clock on the 10Th, arriving at
Burkesville at 2 p. m.
Among the great scenes of ma
ture along the great Cumber-
land was, first, Belk's Island,
then the great bluff called the
Pointed Rock, which of itself
is grand scenery, and TO see the
great waters dash against
this huge wall of rock, we were
made to think who is controlling
these things, "the Great l Am. "
and also our lives are under His
control. We moved gently down
the river for several miles till we
reached the rock house, one OF
the grandest scenes, our eyes ever
beheld. Seeing that great bluff
of rock standing there, and that
large hole through it, large
enough to drive wagon anC
team through, and many inter.
esting things along the river
made our trip very interesting

when large basket Of the most
delicious fruits consisting, of
oranges, bananas, pears and ap-

was a most enjoyable time.

work of installation was COM
pleted, and we all went to the

next morning as the sun was
shining on the beautiful noun
tains, we were made to think
that we were in one Of Gods
best counties on Cumberland riv-
er. The next thing breakfast
was ready, and we marched into
one of the best laid tables | ever
saw. All the good things of the
market were upon it. After
breakfast we took a stroll about
the city, looking at the sights,
for it was our first trip to Burks-
vile:
On Friday night March the Isl

A delicious supper was spread,
the table reaching across the
lodge room. When we were
seated around it Bro. F. W.
Leach invoked the divine bless
, ing upon us. We then ate oul
fill, and the work of comforting
degrees was in order. After
this work was over there were
some interesting recitations anC
talks by Prof. Popplewell, DR.
Combest, G. R. Hicks and Bro
Simpson, after which the Lodge
closed, and we all went to oul
rooms. Next morning when W.
awoke and prepared ourselves TO

According to Mrs. J. B. Reid, superin- tendent of the Woman's Department of the Alabama State fair, much interest is being manifested all over the state in the Alabama Woman's Industrial bureau
 Several days ago, Mrs. Reid gave out an interview setting forth the merits of such a bureau and since the publication of the interview, she has been deluged with queries from interested women all over the state.
 Regarding the bureau, Mrs. Reid has issued this statement:
 T have just simply been delnged with inouiries and requests for space in the Woman's Department of the Alabama State Fair since the publication of Dolly Dalrymple's story in The Age-Herald re- garding the Alabama Noman's Industrial bureau.

Fly CHARLES II. MANDY

Hedge, if is as clar O ma sins as An is uf totin' dat ere pistol An is gwine straight ter heaven sure" This state ment was made yesterday morning in the recorders court presided over by Judge Hugo l.. Black by Jim Williams, a negro with complexion the color of graphite and nearly as slick, who was charged with carrying a gun unlawfully
 This was not all that Jim said in his own behalf. for although he spoke with an apparent effort and his words came about as fast as molasses flows from a barrel on L frosty morning. he plead his case earnestly and with a rude eloauence that was convincing. But what is more to the point, he got away with 1t and suo- ceeded in clearing himself of the charge. When a nigRer succeeds in convincing Judge Black of his innocence despite the testimony of the arresting police officers, he is going some.
 Jim was first arrested on charge of shooting craps and plead guilty to the charge. When the crap game in which J,m was a participant was raided the officers stated that the crowd scattered to the four winds of heaven; some of the negroes jumped out of the windows. others tried to escape through the doors'

NO. 4AT BESSEMER
 ID GO INTO BLAST
Announcement to This Eff feet Issued From EXecu-
 tive Offices Yesterday

It was announced yesterday that fur mace No 4, at Bessemer of the Ten nessee, Coal Iron and Railroad com pany would be prepared for blast and would be operating as soon as possl- ble.
 The announcement to this effect came from the executive offices of the com pany. The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company has now thgee fur naces operating at Bessemer. The decision to place this additional iron maker into operation leads to the con- clusion that the company is using mp all of it's iron which is unsold and finds requirements for additional ton mage
 It Is generally known that the com pany has during this season been espec- tally well supplied with steel orders. There are sufficient orders on hand to cause operations until the latter part of October. Bookings arc being made now for November and December as well as for 1913. It is generally believed that the company will find plenty of new orders for all require ments before those now on the books are worked up.
 For the first time in some years the steel plant at Ensley has operated without cessation during the summer months.
