ANTHRACITE RATE
 DECISION AFFECTS
 STOCK MARKET
Reaction Felt on New York Exchange-English Gold Fails to Check Failing
 of Exchange Rates

New York. August l5.-Reactionary ten- dencies in the stock market last week were rartly due to the very excess of the fcverish advance and partly to un- favorable developments. The interstate commerce commissions cut in anthracite rates was factor whose effect was az eravated by the emphasis that had been laid in the growing assurance that gov ernment exactions on business weer to be relaxed, Receipts of s2o,000,oo0 gold from London proved the urgency with which war supplies are bought. But It's failure to prevent the sinking of London and Paris exchange rates to unheard levels gave warning to the increasing difficult ties of financing these purchases. Further inisction of gold into the already plethoric bank reserves was noted in the huge sur puses reported from home centers. Un- less credits are provided for paying war bil,s maturing in this country, it Is feared that increa sing difficulty will be found In placing additional orders

TELLS OF SOCIAL SERVICE
 WORK AT SMITH COLLEGE
SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT By MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

Miss Emma Gelders tells of the social service work done at Smith college In the following contribution 10 this depart ment. It is of great interest and atis- faction to know that the college girl has taken up the serious side of life's work and in the future years trained workers in the social service field will be re- quired to have college training. Miss Gelders says:
 Adverse criticism is often directed against the college students for their self absorption and seeming indifference to the affairs of the outside world. The war relief work entered into with such enthusiasm by all the colleges, has some what dispeled this belief, and a study of the social service work done by the students should convince even the skep- tic of the real interest of the college men and women in the needs of the com munity where they reside.
 The social service work at Smith col lege is carried on by two organizations. the College Settlements association and the Smith College Association for Chris tian Workers The College Settlements association Is a branch of the New York College Settlement and through an an- nual membership fee of s contributes to the maintenance of the large neighbor- hood house in the heart of the East Side The Personal service work of the asso- citation, however, comes in summer, when two volunteer workers at time take from 10 to 15 children to the country cottage for a two-weeks' vacation. The young women teach them how to live toften having to initiate the little East

Ex-CONvICTS LETTERS
 MEAN BUT LITTLE

The letters published purporting to be from ex-convicts stpting they would rather work in the Ip<les than in Gods sunshine would be z dricous were they not pathetic. For every letter in this vein one could get a thousand depict ing the horrors of the mine sytein. There may be a few who proclaim they prefer the chains of slavery even un- der kind and considerate masters than freedom with It's endless struggles for existence, but we have our doubts as to their sincerity.
 The system of working convicts in the mines of this state Ia doomed. Not much longer will the people of the state be content for blood money to be poured into the state treasury. Thai the unfortunates will be taken from the mines is the inevitable. despite the stubborn resistance of those who would retain 1t. for in the words of John Mitchell. who in speaking of this sub. ject said: "Considered In the light Q! its ultimate results, this large prontl from convict labor Ia not g galn--not svsn in . material ssnss-but . loss.

DOLLARS AND CENTS
 AGAINST HUMANITY

An interesting feature of the coItro- versy Is the fact that nearly every per
 son. for or against the removal of tile
 state convicts from the mines, agree that like national prohibition and wom ans suffrage 1t Is bound to come soon- CT or later, but insist that the time Is not ripe for it. And again the burden of their song Is dollars, dimes and doi. lars, against the principles of human lity.
 For over 20 years the proposition of
 working the convicts of the county of Jefferson on the roads was agitated. And for 20 years the several boards of revenue, or county commissioners, "wrestled" with this question. And that's all they did. They just "wrestled" and the convicts stayed in the mines. They were not willing to undertake the proposition of maintaining the county
 with a big slice of "easy money" cut of. It was easy money for them but
 every dollar was stained with human
 blood and tainted with cruelty and in- justice. For none can contend that It was not cruel and unjust to send man to the mines for shooting craps Yet this was frequently done.
 But the people of Jefferson said. take the convicts out of the mines and place them on the county roads" Practically every man who entered the | race for board of revenue four years ago was pledged to this issue. and every one of the five members elected had made this pledge. With this con dition there was no open fight to re. tain the system because no one dared There was some "sniping" and sparring for time and fighting in the dark. but, the board of revenue paid not the slightest attention to the opposition but proceeded to carry out the wishes of the people. And since the system has been in operation they have bent every 1 energy to make 1t Il success. And a | success 1t surely Is.
 The convict labor question Is like the poor, it Is with us always. It has been solved or nearly so; in many states. Only a few states in the union work convicts in the mines and Alabama is one of them. The system has been
 universally condemned but has proved
 a great revenue producer for the state. Is not the source of this income dubious | Is 1t not rather loss than a gain. for
 to work men in the mines has ten
 dency to embitter the mind as well ae
 break the body. and when turned loose l often become a menace to the state and community.

CORDOvA

Cordova, August 16.--(speciai )-Consid- erable excitement has been occasioned throughout Walker county for the past two days. and especially in this section of the county, by the wholesale clrcula- ton of petitions to the legislature op- posing the bill pending. and on which a
 vote will probably be taken Monday, to create a high@ay commission for this county, to which commission will be given all the power now exercised by the board of county commissioners in regard to building reads and bridges. Several thousand signatures have been secured opposing the change. which at first. it
 Is said was not taken seriously by the
 present bord of commissioners.
 Rapid progress Is being made on the spur tracks, and loading facilities being placed here at the river front for the
 loading of coal on barges by the. DeI3ar- dcleben interests, for shipment to Mobile and New Orleans. This company with mines at Sipsey and Empire. and mining the famous Black creek coal superior to
 northcrr ard eastern coal now being shipped to New Orleans Is spending about $4O,VJO on these Improvements. lt is expected that coal will be moving down
 the river in great quantities by the mid dle of September or October l. and it ia
 also understood that othef coal com
 panies will use the loading facilities be- ling installed by the Empire and Sipsey people, sharing in the expense of tho i'm provcments.
 A large force of men are camped jus, south of the Frisco tracks. at work on the new steel bridge being built by the | county under the supervision of F.
