LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Alabama Conference of the Methodist church, south to the Fortieth Street church as their pastor. Most of the members were people who worked in his mill and I would like to mention few things to show the interest he took in his employees. When I was there, I knew quite a number of girls and women who were paid SIS week when girls and women were working in stores in this city for S3 per week and paying car fare morning and night The rent they had to pay in the mill village was $1 per month for each room to dwelling. While coal was selling in the city for s4 per ton, he let his employees have 1t for S2.50 per ton. He paid marshal to stay in. the vil- la,ge to see that the streets and houses were kept clean and sanitary and that good order was maintained in the vil- lage at all times.
 He had a bathing pool for his em- ployes, with certain hours set apart for men and hours for women. A young lady was paid $25 per month to stay in the library which had several hundred good books to be used by his employees. A kindergarten school was taught by one of his daughters and she received no compensation from any employe. She would go all over the village and insist on those mothers to let her have their children in her school. She would take these little boys and girls, and wash their dirty faces, comb their hair and arrange the blocks and playthings to interest them. They loved her so much that they would run to the car to meet her when she came in the mornings.
 Go anywhere in the mill and you would see signs posted: Every em- ploye in this mill is expected to attend Sunday school and church somewhere on Sunday. Those falling to do so need not expect promotion in this mill" I feel, MT. Editor, that the old saying is true. Honor to whom honor is due, {" so l would like so much if you would give me space in your most excellent paper to add this much to the appro- priate things that have already beer said about the Avondale mill apart ment house. I am proud of all our good men and feel sure in future his tory that Alabama will be honored for having given to the world such pub lie benefactors as ex-Senator B. B. Conner and his son, Donald.

Praise for Good Deeds

To the Editor of the Age Herald
 I read with interest what one of our daily papers said few days ago about the magnificent apartment house re- gently built by Senator B. B. Conner and his son at the Avondale Cotton mills for the benefit and the conven- fence of their employees. I appreciated we sho1lud strew some flowers along a mans pathway while he is living and not wait until he is dead to place them on his casket.
 This is an appropriate time to say things of that kind, if deserved, when the minds of the people seem to be agitated over the vexed problem of capital and labor. There should be no strife between capital and labor for each is essential to the other. Selfish ness on the part of either class is wrong. A rich man, if of a generous nature, is a blessing to the world. If all men possessed the spirit of Abra- : ham, there would be no strife. The Lord called him out from his people and showed him the land and made him the promise that he should possess it all. He generously invited his nephew, Lot, to go with him. When a strife arose between their herdsmen, Abra- ham said: Let there be no strife be- tween us; go choose the part of land you wish and I will take the rest as my part" He did not choose the best for himself and the Lord blessed him and he became very rich.
 Making money seems to be a gift with some men and if that gift is used as the Lord would have it used, the individual possessing it would be a benefactor and blessing to humanity I am glad I have never been envious S of the rich. Financially, it seems, my life has been almost a failure, with all the faithful efforts I have made, using all the economy I possibly could I may never be able to pay all I owe on the home am trying to provide for myself and companion for our old age, but am glad that other men have the gift not possessed by myself, for If they had not the wheels of commerce and industry certainly would have to turn very slow.
 Now l wish to say some things about MT. Conner. I was impressed to say these things during some of his cam paigns for office, but not being a politician, I refrained from doing so. People spoke of his treatment to those working in his mill. I have heard his mill called Corners penitentiary. Nine teen years ago l was sent by the North

 The second game commenced. It was surprise. The Poincare-W Wallace side gakied a sweeping victory over the Mil lerand-Foch side.
 Let us have a revenge" the marshal declared impetuously. We cannot, MT. President, allow ourselves such defeat"
 The revenge was palpitating, but in the end the game, which for long time swayed in the balance, pronounced itself in favor of M. Poincare and Wallace. Well. MT. Marshal, you are beaten, M. Millerand said, Tt seems to me, MT. President, that you are. too,n rejoined the marshal. "But what adversaries M. Ponicare plays very we'll and the ambassador is cham pion player''

 It was not at war, but at dominoes. The American ambassador, Hugh c. Wal lace, and former President Poincare triumphed over the great marshal and Frances chief executive. The incident is related by writer of the Cri de Paris in the best Of French journalistic style, substantially as follows:
 The presidential train carrying high personages of France and other nations to Verdun to attend the dedication of the monument marking the Bayonet Trench had been under way for an hour and conversation had begun to lag.
