Like many other darkies of the old school, he never knew his age, but he must have been past TO- despite his remarkably steady gait Uncle Dan" was recognized by all as the oldest employe, and a man agreeable and accommodating at all times. He was in the private employ Of A. B. Loveman for IS years, and when Mr. Loveman, in 1887. came from Greens boro, Hale county, Ala, Dan, like the faithful servant he was, accompanied him. driving through the country with his horse surrey. He then served in the store on Second avenue as delivery man, and subsequently, a store porter. When the store progressed, Dan did, too. They moved to their present quarters where Dan was promoted to head porter, and shortly afterwards became a night watchman along with others. He served in this capacity, sleeping always in the store, until his declining years. Until the end, he carried the store key for he vas so Because of his illness in the past few years he was not required to do regular work, but has always received regular pay. Uncle Dan" will be mourned far and wide, as he was an honest, upright and kood darkey, and faithful servant.

 T believe there is no more important service than you men who are enga ged in the cotton manufacturing business can perform looking toward the development of the cotton indsutry than to do all you can to awaken public opinion to the need for efficient methods of cotton cultiva- tion.' he asserted We are today a nation grown critical of business meth ods and resentful of business accomplish ment. By far the greater part of gov ernment energies. as related to business are directed toward destruction rather than constructive and creative ends
 Insofar as business is responsible for it's conduct, it will not do to say that corporation heads are the represen- tatives of publicly subscribed capital and are therefore subject. n the interests of society. to a surveillance that applies only to the affairs of public corpora tion. while farmers represent only per sonal investment and may be left to work out with such ignorance or intelli- gence as they choose to bring to bear the conduct of their own affairs"

Land is being utilized with but 40 per cent of eff ciency, yet the farmer is not held culp- able-he is not answerable to society, MT Vanderlip said, as is the railroad mana ger who produces anything less than 100 per cent.
 MT. Vanderlip deprecated what he all luded to as the increasing bonds of ham pering regulations under which business is being placed by law.

TIE SOCIETY CIRCUS PLEASES B|G CROWD
 AT THE JEFFERSON
Numbers Are Fully Up to Standard Previously Set. "PaylOwa GavOtte"
 Enjoyable

After all the gymnastics, the illusions, the choruses, the funmaking and inter- esting antics of local young people in the
 fifteenth annual society circus, at the Jefferson theatre last night, the one fea- ture of thoroughly enjoyable perform ance that fingers to the memory is the "Pavlowa Gavotte,- as done by Miss Fay Vim and Holden Naff. This esthetic little dance was done to perfection.
 But there were other things to the Society Circus besides this delightful oance number There were acts of mani field character-all interesting and all re- f!eeting credit on the stage directorshlp of pr. James E. Dedman and his corps of assistants.
 AS usual with the Society Circus it starts off with gymnastics-whieh is quite natural as the performance is fostered by the Birmingham Athletic club The first number was that of the Flying Rings" quartet composed of Read Berry, Spencer and Chairsell. From these young men startling stunts were expected and the audience was not disappointed.
 For the second number "kidlets' on roller skates provided much amusement in the Juvenile Skating Clowns" under the personal direction of z. Nespor. It was a very good act.
 The hand balancing turn of Elmer Heinz and Edward Spencer was a splendid eX- hibition of muscular work The grace of Mir. Heinz was much admired as he performed hair-raisirg feats with seem- irg ease. The trapeze work of Herbert Cobbs and Ed Chairsell in the fourth number also was on the sensational or der and was well received by the audi ence.
 One of the really interesting numbers on the lengthy bill was the basketball drill of squad of youngsters under the direction of r. Nespor. This was very good. The "Turabo'' troupe of acrobats and the Roman Ladder Gymnasts" fol- lowed and both turns were meritorious The end of the first part of the circus was The Awakening of the Dolls d novelty act in which Elmer Heinz and Billy Cobbs were in stellar roles The

Locating a Broken Wire.

When a telegraph wire is broken or
damaged, say. several hundred miles
away, how does the operator, sitting
in his Office, know exactly where the
accident occurred?
The explanation is simple. 1t re-
quires, as every one knows. consider
able force to send electricity through
a wire. The longer the wire the great
er. of course, must be the force requir-
ed This force is measured in units,
called by electricians "ohms." Let US
suppose that a wire between a New
York Office and a point $50 miles away
has broken somewhere. The telegra-
pher knows that when the wire was
intact there were required, say. 2.100
ohms to facilitate the current, or Il
ohms to the mile. He now finds that
he can send a current with only 700
ohms Dividing 700 by IA, he finds
that the break in the wire is 80 miles
from his end.-New York Tribune.
