THE SPIRIT OF
 AMERICAN LABOR
By SAMUEL GoMPERs, (An Editorial in The American Fed erationist for November.)

erationist for November.)
 On November l7 a unique and histo-
 ric event will occur Conventions of two
 great labor movements will be called into session on the international border between Mexico and the United States. Included in the American Federation of Labor we have the labor movement or
 Canada, so the conventions at Sl Paso,
 Texas, and Juarez, Mexico, will bring together the organized wage earners of
 three great countries. Never has there
 been such gathering of representatives of the workers as this will be. It Is of
 surpassing significance.
 The American Federation of Labor will open its convention in Fl Paso. The
 Mexican Federation of Labor will con vene just across the river in Juarez. There will be international ceTemonials
 attendant upon the opening of these two
 conventions eeremonials such as would
 be possibly only where the Latin love
 of color finds expression, while we give less expression to the love of color and
 display, we enjoy it none the less During the period in which the two conventions are in session there will be joint meetings for fraternal intercourse,
 in order that in great common assemb-
 1ages there may be opportunity for ex- pressions of a common ideaIism and a . common purpose.
 It is doubtful If there is anywh ere
 else the same high degree of unity and sympathy that exist between the Ameri- can Federation of Labor and the Mexi- can Federation of Labor The two
 movements have emore than once dem
 onstrated their common understanding.
 They have more than once joined III
 common effort They have labored to-
 gether for the up1ift of all working peo- warded with achievements which will live as long as history is preserved and read.
 The conventions of these two move nents this year will deal with mighty currents in human affairs The Mexican workers have elected a president in whom they have full faith and conf dence-a man whom they count as one of them. They will go from their con- vention to his inauguration. They feel a fresh breath of freedom in that great accomplishment.
 The American worker will go to their convention fresh from a great political campaign into which they have poured 1 their energy as never before. As these lines are written that campaign is in its | white heat of turmoil and struggle. But whatever the outcome the workers will go to their convention in Fl Paso with 1 the consciousness that they have given of their best in the cause of human freedom. There can be no such struggle l without success, whether that success is 1 Or is not immediately visible.
 But great and significant as may be

1t has taken nearly a century 1oI
the humble tomato TO attain its pres
ent dignity in the United States, says
trade organization, in tracing the
worldwide travels OF this garden and
field product. The tomato illustrates
the varied romances in foreign trade
Once the United States had no to-
matoes Today the harvest yields over
a million tons. with a wholesale value
OF ABBOTT $50,000,000. The tomato IS
the backbone of the canning industry,
which uses btween $30,0O0,00O and
$40,000000 worth annually.
Color Drew Attention.
Americans might not have the to-
mato but for its charming color 1t
first attracted the attention which led
to its importation because OF its heart
red color, and some romantic person
gave it the title OF love apple. The
name tomato comes from the Mex
lean word tumati
1t is a late arrival as a food prod
uct among civilized nations, which
year by year draw more and more on
tropical products for food necessities.
The tomato was long known IN Atr1-
ca, and for centuries to the Malays.
At the end of the sixteenth century
it was noted in Europe. and spoken
Of by the Dutch as early as 1857 as
good to eat with salt, pepper and oil.
Rise in United States.
In the United States, in the early
nineteenth century, it was grown as a
food for pigs. In 1928, at Charleston,
S. c., it was mentioned as a good, eat
able fruit by the editor OF an agrlcul-
tural paper. 1t was introduced into
New Jersey in 1880 as a garden prod
uct by Peter Bogart
Now it has come to be the most
popular and the most widely canned
OF vegetables. 1t is eaten not only
in season as the product OF the ma
jority of gardens in the United States
but it is packed whole. Its use in pulp
form as a seasoning and for soups is
world wide Tomato PURGE is the
whole tomato with the skin and seeds
removed.
Imports of Paste.
Tomato paste is made by evaporat-
ing the pulp in a vacuum kettle.
1t is imported to the extent of some
2O,000,000 pounds into the United
States from the west coast of Mexico
during th4 winter season, and also
from the West Indies
In 1923 the United States imported
mostly from Italy, 29,939,648 pound:
of canned tomato paste, valued a
$1,715789. During the same year the
United States shipped abroad canned
tomatoes valued at $580791, though

A Soil Survey Has Been
Made in Randolph County
Show % Distinct Types and -Four
Glasses Not Suited to Farming.


Glasses Not Suited to Farming.
The soil survey OF Randolph county
is practically complete, and engineers
conducting this work are about ready
to leave.
Every farm has been visited, the
soils in the fields have been examined
and studied, and their location and
extent accurately shown on the map.
The map thus assembled shows every
house, stream, railroad, town, church
and school in the county, and is OF
immeasurable value.
The greatest value, however, is the
soil analysis which the map displays.
Twenty-Five distinct types of soils,
two type phases, and four classes of
lands unsuitable to farming have been
mapped out.
The published maps will not be
ready for distribution for several
months, but in the meantime an effort
is being made to secure phOtostatic
copies of the engineers field sheets,
to be on exhibition at hte office of the
Randolph County Ad Club. which will
enable the farmers OF the county to
have this map information available
more promptly than can be possible
in the published map forms.

NEGRO GIRL FALLS INTO
DIPPING VAT AND DIES
Went Out to Hunt for Chickens and
Never Returned.

Aucilla Harris, 17-year-old negro
girl residing on the Cox place, near
Putney, in Dougherty county, was
found dead in a dipping vat near her
home. An inquest developed the fact
that she probably suffered broken
neck when she fell into the vat. Her
mother sent her out to look for some
chickens, and when she failed to re-
turn the mother went to look for her
and found her in the vat, The vat was
located near a fence, and indications
were that the girl started to climb
through the fence and fell into the vat
She apparently did not fall more than

in which these % varieties may occur
is "a years and one month, the latter
being February if leap year. In 9th
