Taft ~at#4 11 ** ^“itoered that the period covered Include# the last half of CUryeartWr and the 'ffrist half df the pree*>ut year, a time when the demand for manufactured goods of all kiuds In this country was at a low ebb, and capital was bard to .find for new investments of any kind and In any portion of the country. Some of the figures for the industrial investments along the Southern Railway 'have heretofore been published. They show a total of 453 new in dustries, calling for an inveetment of $20,413,835, and addition! to existing Industries costing $7,883.- 963. In the same period there were put under construction new Indus tries to be completed later In which $6,473,000 will be invested. Since the close of the Soutnern’s fiscal year there baa been a steady Im provement In all business conditions, manufacturers and operators of mines have felt warranted, ifi re newing plans for new plants and capitallati and bankers have been more ready to supply needed funds for Industrial investments. The new Industries started In the last half of 1909 greatly outnumber those begun in the first half of the year, so that for the first time In two years, the normal Industrial advance of the Southeastern States may be ■aid to be under way. It la confidently expected, and ah the Indications show that the pres ent year will greatly exceed the past in the amount of factory build ing and in the Invesments made In all kinds of industries. That over *2$,GOO,000 should be Invested In industrial development in the pe riod covered along one line of road in the Southeast shows in the most arked manner the advantage of that section for various lines of industries. The growth of Industries along the line of the Mobile A Ohio Rail road wag also marked. - In the stretch of 1,000 miles of territory covered' by that road there were constructed to 190S-00, ending June 30, 56 new Industriee, at s cost of $2,123,600, while additions to ex- 1 Isttng plants raised the Investment to $2,254,700. The flguree from the two Unee show duplication at four or five points. Taking out these the two Knee ehow an aggregate of 489 new planta coating $21,149,536 and a total investment In Industries of $35,$09,071, Including the amount which went Into new Industries un der construction on June $0, to As completed at a Inter date.

If his wo«»d seems to be wasting that Is bis affair and not eurs. mine-rescue station represents one of-the moat recent efforts made by'-the government to reduce the number of fatal accidents in mines, and It is but one feature of. a gen eral study of the causes of mine disasters now oelng undertaken by the Geological Survey at the mine- accidents station In Pittsburg, Pa. This humanitarian work was started In July, 1908, by authorisa tion of congress, which appropriat ed 150,000 for this purpose, after four explosions in coal mines In De cember, 1907, costing 700 lives These disasters startled the entire country and led to a general Inquiry into the death rates among miners in the United States. Statistics gathered by the United States Geological Surrey shows 2.001 miners killed and 4,900 (n jured In the coal mines In 1966, and 3,125 killed and 5.800 injured In 1907. The death rate for 1907 was 4.86 for every 1,000 men «m ployed, in 1908, 2,450 men were killed, or 3.60- In every. 1.000 em ployed, a reduction of 67 5 in the number of deaths from 1907. European coal-producing countrlea show death rates In mining aa low as 1 In every 1,000 men employed and not more than 2. Id other words for every man killed In Europe coal mine* from two to four ere killed In the mince of the Unit ed States. Since 1889 more than 30,000 miners have been killed in the United States. The lower death rate in European countries is due to the establishment of government testing stations for the Investiga tion of problems relating to safety In mining, Including the use of ex plosives. The principal work st the Pitts burg satlon consists of teetjju bx* plosives to determine their xgf® tT when fired In the presence of explo sive gas or coal dust, and much progress has already been made In thle work. It la the purpose of the government to continue the tests of explosives until certain of them can be recommended to Mate mining bu rse us, coal-mine owners, and miners as reasonably Government mining engineers thoroughly trained In the use of rescue apparatus have been assign ed to the stations already establish ed end are ready at a moment's no tion to go to any disaster In their district. When an explosion occurs In a coal mine, the re-establishing of tbs ventilating current Is oftefi de layed severs! hours, and many lives have been lost apparently because rescuers have been unable to ad vance beyond the areq where the mine was ventilated In order to find persons who had suffered no physi- 1 Injury from the explosiq, ho were slowly ation of polaono porting gaasy* lb* problem den of Stole Bey Fell are off Os—OH I—I Prohibition Does tool Meats -Wet- : A-' A dispatch from Binning hem, AU.. says later returns from the Btafa Indicate that Tuesday's majori ty against, the prohibition constitu tional amendment will run above 25,000. It appears that a vote of not lees than 125,000 was polled, the largest In the history of the fltat*. As the sweepihg nature of the de- feat of the amendment Is realised, there is a disposition in all circlet to see the result of Its probable ef? feet on future legislation in the State. Industrial leaders and business men of Birmingham are almost unanimous In their belief that the result was a rebuke to recent dras tic legislation and a declaration of the people of Alabama of their de termination to return to conserve tlsm. Leaders of the Birmingham cham ber of commerce believe the elec tion will have the effect of bringing a great deal of Eastern capital to Alabama, which has been timid for the past two or three years. Leaders of the amendment forces were overwhelmed by the news of the result, as they were absolutely confident of victory up to the/last moment. Qov. Comer left for ‘Mis sissippi the night before on a fishing trip. “Tbs election determined that the men of Alabama did not wish to write into their constitution police measures, nor surrender rights they have expressly reseA^gfl,” said Unit ed States Senator Jqhnson. “It does not mean the retorg of the sa loon, nor any backward atop In pub lic morals. - “It means that Alabama Is con servative and not to be shaken off her feet by more sentimental ap peals.'' FOR CONSCIENCE SAKE WEDNESDAY UNLUCKY IN MILLS j* ti More Accident# Happen on That Da; Then on Any Other in the Week. Some Interesting flguree In regard to accidents in cotton mills are given by a writer in the Textile Manu facturers’ Journal. The planta whoe# records be took were twelve in num ber, sod with the exception of ooe in New Hampshire, were South of the Meeon snd Dixon line. Of the total number of acnldenU only 42.8 per cent were the result of mecrinery. The larger percen tage happened on Wednesday, and wkh the exception of Saturday the percentage for the other days of the week Is generally uniform. Saturday shows a low percentage, due to two reasons—first, less work ing hours that day, and in general leas machinery In operation, thus re ducing the chance of injury. A larger percentage of the acci dents occurred daring the forenoon hours from eight to twelve, while the lowest percentage are shown lb the starting and stopping hours, *i> to seven a. m., one to two and five to six p. m.

The Columbia correepettdent' of ~ The News and Courier .eays L Troe- ger, who did business with the old State dispensary, has forwarded, through Col. Felder, of Atlanta, $9,- 000, to be added to the “conscience fund.” This places the amount received from various firms past the $5G.- 000 mark, being $54,000 in all. The largest contributor was the Bern- heim firm, which handed across $30,-. 000. Then came Weiskopf with $7,500 and other firm^ ^Ith smaller amounts. The present contributor Is from Cincinnati. Like the other firms from whom such collections have been made, the Troegerg bad no claim against the State. The “back chargea” are, therefore, represented in the money “coughed up.” As Col. Felder ex press'll It when he heard It: “No, tt’t not conscience money. I don’t see why you fellows call It that. They just have to come across be cause we have the goods on ’em." Chairman Murray, of the dispen sary commission supervised the pay ing out of the laet of the liquor claims allowed by the commission's recent judgments. The amount paid put whs $1 47,874.74, the largest amount being $65,000 to Clark Bros., $45,000 to Fleiachmann and $18,- 000 to the Schllti beer people. The only claim allowed remain ing unpaid is that to the Big Springs Distilling Company, which is sus pended pending appeal. This was the only concern allowed anything which haa appealed. The commis sion has left about $450,000, which Includes about $50,000 “ocnscience money,’’ half of which goes to law yers. Chairman Murray said that- after all attorneys’ fees are paid and all other expenses met, the commis sion would turn in to the State about $320,000.
