The mlnd-reicue etallon represents State.
m
the present year, a time when the
demand for manufactured goods of
all kinds in this couftfry was at
low ebb, and capital was bard to
,flnd for new inveittmenta of any
kind and in any portion of tbe
country. Some of the figures for
tbe Industrial investments along the
Southern Railway have heretofore
been published.
They show a total of 453 new in
dustries, calling for an investment
of $20.413.836. and additions to
existing Industries costing 17,883.-
963. In the same period there were
put under construction new indus
tries to be completed later lu which
86,478,000 will be Invested. Since
tbe close of tbe Soutnern's flees'
year there has been a steady Im
provement in all business conditions,
manufacturers and operators of
mines have felt warranted In re
newing plana for new plants and
capitalists and banker* have been
more ready to supply needed funds
for industrial Investments. The new
Industries started In the lest half
of 1909 greatly outnumber those
begun In the first half of the year,
ao that for the flrsf time In two
years, the normal industrial advance
of the Southeastern States may be
■aid to be under way.
It is confidently expected, and alt
the indications show that tbe pres
ent year will greatly exceed the
past In the amount of factory build
ing and in the inveementa made in
all kinds of Industries. That over
*28,000,000 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 varloua lines of
industries.
The growth of industries along
the line of the Mobile A Ohio Rail
road was also marked. In the
stretch of 1,000 mllee of territory
covered' by that road there were
constructed in 1908-08, ending June
SO, 66 new Industries, st a cost of
92,123.600, while additions to ex
isting plants raised the inveetment
to |2.26«,700. The figure* from the
two line* show duplication at four
or five points. Taking out these
the two lines show an aggregate of
489 new plants coating 121,149,635
m mtils and uianul
der construction on June 30, to be
completed at a later date
In general improvement* during
the year there were invested along
the Southern Railway
The aggregate amount Invested aloeg
the Mobile A Ohio Railroad was
912,387,554. It is noteworthy that

FOR CONSCIENCE SAKE
one of the most 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 PitUburg. Pa
This humanitarian work was
started in Juiy, 1908. by authorlxa-
tlon of congress, which appropriat
ed 3150,000 for this purpose, after
four explosions in cf>al mines in De
cember. 1907, costing 700 lives.
These disasters startled the entire
country and led to a general Inquiry
Into the deeth rates among miners
in the United Btstes.
Statistics gathered by the United
States Geological Survey ehoWS
2,001 miners killed and 4,800 In
lured in the coal mines in 1906,
and 3.126 killed and 6.800 Injured
in 1907. The death rate for 1907
was 4.86 for every 1,000 men em
ployed. In 1908. 2.450 men were
killed, or 3.60- in every 1.000 em
ployed, a reduction of 676 in the
number of deaths from 1907.
European coal-producing countries
show death rates in mining as low
as 1 In every 1.000 men employed
and not more than 2. In other
words for every man killed In
Europe coal mine* from two to four
are killed In the mince of the Unit
ed State*. Since 1 889 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
pioaives.
The principal work at the Pitts
burg satlon consists of teet^lff*x-
ploslves to determine their wftfety
when fired in the preeeoes ©f *fpl°

As the sweeping nature of the de
feat of tbe amendment la realised,
there is a disposition In all circles
to see the result of Its probable ef
fect on future legislation in tbe
Bute.
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 conserva
tism.
Leaders of the Birmingham cham
ber of commerce believe the elec
tion will have the effect of bringing
a great deal of Eastern caplul to
Alabama, which has been timid for
the past two or three years.
Lenders of tbe amendment forces
were overwhelmed by the news of
the reeuh, as they were absolutely
confident of victory up to tballast
moment. Qov. Comer left for ’Mis
sissippi the night before on a fishing
trip.
‘'The election determined that tbe
men of Alabama did not wish to
write into their constitution police
measures, nor surrender rights they
have expressly res«^3M,” said Unit
ed SUtes Senator Jc^hnson. "It

Borne Interesting figures in regard
| *^ accidents In cotton mills are given
by a writer In the Textile Manu
facturers’ Journal. The plants whose
records he took were twelve in num
ber. and with the exception of one
in New Hampshire, were South of
the Mason and Dixon line.
Of the total nnmber of acnidents
only 42.8 per oent were the result
of macrinery. 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, lees work
ing hours that day, and in general
leu machinery In operation, thus re
ducing the chance of injury.
A larger percentage of the acci
dents occurred during the forenoon
hours from eight to twelve, while
the lowest percentage are shown in
the starting and stopping hours, sL

The Columbia correspondent of
The News and Courier .says 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 910,-
000 mark, being 354,000 In all. The
largest contributor was the Bern-
helm firm, which handed across |80,-.
000, Then came WekMiopf With
17,500 and other flmft'wlth smaller
amounts. The present contributor
is from Cincinnati. /
Like the other Anna from whom
such collections have been made, the
Troegers had no claim against the
Bute. The “beck charges’’ are.
therefore, represented in the money
“coughed op.” As Col. Felder ex-
prner 1 it when he heard it: “No,
U'* not conscience money. I don't
MO why you fellow* 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 tbe pay
ing out of the last of the liquor
claims allowed by the commission's
recent judgments. The amount paid
put was 11 47,874.74, the largest
amount being 865,000 to Clark Bros.,
815 ,000 to Fleischmann and 818,-
000 to the Schlltt beer people.
The only claim allowed remain
ing unpaid is that to tbe Big Springs
Distilling Company, which is sus
pended pending appeal. This was
the only concern allowed anything
which has appealed. The commis
sion has left about 8450.000, 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.

Is the conclusion of C. V. Collins,

one of his cousin's children at the
time Mr. Tillman came in in a rage.
In an affidavit submitted to the
court Monday Mrs. Tillman says that
one occasion she was forced by her
husband’s drunken cfebauoh.es and
cruel treatment to separate from
him, but “not until deponent's hus
band under the influence of exces
sive drink made a most outrageous,
false and degrading attack upon de
ponent’s character, that deponent, so
outraged and insulted flew through
the night time with her two infant
children from deponent’s home at
‘Edgewood’ to her sister’s home In
Edgefield for protection, where she
remained for several months."
It would seem from the number
and character of the affidavits read
Monday in support of Mrs. Tillman's
right to the children, that practi
cally every man and woman of stand
ing in Edgefield is up in arms against
Senator and Mrs. Tillman and their
son. Among the signers of these
affidavits are several relatives of
Justice Gary, himself a member of
the supreme bench. There are over
signed by two or more, and several
fifty affidavits, practically all of them
having from 25 to 50 signatures.
The signatures Include the follow
ing, all testifying that they have
known Mrs. Tillman either several
years or from Infancy, and that she
is a woman of irreproachable char
acter, modest, refined, cultured, dis-
peculTgrly fifled and amply finan

SAYS WOMEN ROHHED HIM.
*■—
A New York Hanker Despoiled of
Rig Amount of Cash.
In New York Wednesday nigh*
Warner M. Van Norden, the banke-
and president of the Van Norden
Trust Company, was robbed of $28,-
000 as he was leaving the Waldorf-
Astoria.
With the arraignment a few days
ago of Bessie Roberts, alias Kitty
Dowell, of Chicago, and Annie
Williams, alias “Chicago Maggie, ’
the story was made public.
Mr. Van Norden saw two women
walking along Fifth avenue. One
dropped a pocketbook and Mr. Van
Norden politely picked it up and re
turned It to her.
A hearty slap on the back was the
somewhat startling and unconven
tlonal manner in which one of the
women signalized her thanks. There
was a profusion of thanks and bows
and one of the women fainted sud
denly on Mr. Van Norden’s shoul
der.
The woman revived and a few
minutes later Mr. Van Norden miss
ed the $28,000. The women were
held in $30,000 bonds.
All that glitters Is not gold; some
are blondined.
You cannot tell what a woman
alms at by what she hits.

nee to the farmers of the South Is
the new fertilizer which has been
perfected on one of the islands near
Charleston. 8. C. It has long been
known that lime Is an eeaential food
for plants of all kinds and that they
cannot lire when !t has been exhaust
ed from the soil. It has also been
known that old woru-out lands are
extremely deficient In lime, knd that
sour, badly-drained lands have their
lime Is a for mthat is not usable by
growing crops.
Farmers’ Bulletin No. 124, U. 8
Dept. of Agriculture, says: “All
the applications of lime Increased the
yields • • The best yields wers
obtained with the lime in the form
of carbonate, the finely ground oys
ter shells standing first • • Lime
with fertilizer was more profitable
than depending upon fertilizer
alone.”
This new fertilizer which present*
lime In Its most usable form Is made
by a new process of burning oyster
shells and using a burner that can
supply potash. The result Is a high
grade fertilizer costing the consum
er only $7.00 per ton. It reclaims
worn-out lands In a marvelous man
ner if applied broadcast two months
ahead of ammoniated goods. It’*
sweetening effects on sour lands is
almost magical. Charleston freight
rates apply on this new fertilizer.
