9, f Giving U> a Square Deal. Elbert Hubbard, Marie Van Yors and writers of that stripe have heap ed slander upon the South by pictur ing what they conceived tb be the hbr rib?e coditions of cotton mills, but th tirade was so vicious that it failed to impress thinking peop?e. There was no regard for the truth, sensations be? ing more desired than that, and after .this flood of vituperation and slander i: U comforting to find another critic form the North who paints the correct picture and one which saves us from t our enemies. Miss Gertrude Beeks, secretary of the welfare department of the National Civic Federation, spent several weeks in the mill districts of Dixie and. in the New York Sun she gives her observations. There was nothing new or startling in what she said, for all of us who read know that she had the right idea of the condi? tions as they actually exist, but her story will do much toward changing the sentiment, based as it was upon the wild and reckless libels of North enr fanatics. Briefly stated. Miss Beeks finds that the mill president is humane, that he is interested in the operatives that he has established, schools, kindergart? ens, libraries and pleasure resorts, that the mill buildings are* clean, well ventilated and comfortable, and that the condition of the wage earner is far better than that of his brother who works in the fields, his remuner? ation likewise being larger. Now and then, of course, instances are noted where the desire for big profits made ire president narrow and miserly, but he has been forced to adopt the more i:beral and the more generous policy in order to secure and hold his cuota of workers. The morai tone is high. Altogether, her review is most flat? tering, and when it is remembered that she was prejudiced before com? ing to the South, what she has to say is of greater value on that account. Haleigh Times. The Status of Oklahoma. Some, persons have begun already K to refer to Oklahoma as a State. They .are somewhat premature. The sign? ing of the Statehood bill Saturday by .the president paved the way for Statehood, but the full rights and the prestige of Statehood will not be con? ferred up.m the two Territories for ten months br c .-ear. The. Tcrriiorjat government which, has beer. i;<. loree . all along, will continue to exist until ail the "?e^ess'iTy prW rhu???? ries to &tatehoc : I--- been arranged. First, the two Terriro: vs ar? zo b-? divide. ?tto districts^ Then delegates urti to hr elected by the people to meet in .G/Uthrie and draw up a constitution. .After that the constitution is to be sub? mitted to the voters for their ratifica? tion or rejection. At the same time a Legislature is to. be elected, a gover? nor is to be chosen and five represen? tatives are to be elected. The first Legislature will have the task of elect? ing two United States Senators. It is estimated that the election of a Constitutional Assembly will be held about October 1. The subsequent elec? tion-will be held, it is thought, about February 1. When the election re? turns have been counted they will be sent to Washington with a copy of the constitution for the approval of the President. If the President decides .that the constitution is republican in form and that none of its provisions are repugnant to the constitution of ethe United States and the Declaration' of Independence, he will issue a proc? lamation declaring Oklahoma and Indian Territory a State. Not until this proclamation is issued will the Territories become a full-fledged -State.-Exchange. How's This.

Durant's POSTPOXE XAMIXG TICKET. Populists Decide to Xame State Ticket Six Days After the Democratic Pri? mary. Atlanta, Ga.. July 4.-Seventy-five representatives of the People's party of Georgia gathered here today, pur? suant to a call for a State convention to name a state ticket. Eighteen min? utes later the assembly adjourned to meet August 2S, six days after the date fixed for the Democatic State pri? maries, with the intention at that time of nominating a full State ticket. A resolution expressing the reason for the sudden action was adopted, which was preceded by the following 'pre? amble: 'The condition of our party is such in this State we deem it unwise to name a ticket for governor and State House officials at this time: and we firmly believe that a majority of the white voters are opposed to organized Democracy a-s it is ma ni tested by the executive committee of i hat party."

One Regiment Had Emu and Kanga? roo. Another a Snake. No less than 30 . regiments in the British army have pet animals at? tached. The dogs of the "Fighting Fifth" and "Jack," the retriever of the Twelfth Lancers, march with theil companies when on active service, and have taken part in more than one battle. The drum horse of the Sev? enth Hussars-presented by the late Queen Victoria-marches proudly ai the head of the men, with white tail and mane flowing. "Billy," the goat of the Welsh Fu? siliers, is better known, and is a very showy soldier, indeed, as he struts along in all the glory of scarlet coat, with white facings and the badge and crest of the regiment on his forehead. The Queen's Own Hussars has also a goat. A deer is the pet of the Seaforth Highlanders. "Anthony." a little dom key, attached "himself to the Twenty sixth batteiy while in .India and be? came an established favorite, march? ing, eating and drinking with the men. A pet bear was the mascot of the Gloucester regiment, but becoming ill tempered had to be shot. The Lancers of Xew South Wales have an emu and a kangaroo. "Peter." the goose, became the pet of the Gren? adiers while in Canada. The lame bird limped up to a sentry one night and held, up a hurt foot for his inspection. He attended to the wound, and the bird thereafter refused to leave the camp, so the soldiers adopted it. When the Devonshire regiment was . in India, a snake was for many months adopted as a pet, and, though poisonous, it never attempted to hurt any member of the company. When the men returned to England this un? canny pet was left behind.-Reynolds's Newspaper. A Sure Road to Promotion.

MINERS LOST $12.0-^.000 During Suspension ol" Work. April 1 to May 15. Scranton, July 5.-Figures just compiled under the direction of the president of one of the largest coal ? companies vrith headquarters here, j show that the wage loss to mine- j workers dining the suspension of! work, from April 1 to May 15. ordered by .John Mitchell, presiden* of the miners" union, amounted to more than $12.000.000. The total anthracite shipments in April, 1905, were 5.27$. 041 tons: and for May. 1905, 6,500,15$ tons. Estimated on this basis the tonnage from April 1 to May 15, 1906. would have been more than S.OOO.OOO tons. The average amount paid in wages of labor per ton of production .in the anthracite field is $1.55. show? ing a loss of at least. $12.400,000 sus? tained by the wage earners. The $1.55 per ton does not include the salaries of superintendents, office men, or any other wage item beyond the amount paid to the actual work? ers in the mine and breaker. During the period J? idleness the men re? ceived no allowances from their union, so that when they returned to the mines after six weeks' idleness, on ex? actly the -same terms prevailing when they were ordered out, their loss of earnings amounted to over $12,000,000 net. ItCJESTYEXSKY PLEADS GUILTY. St. Petersburg. July 4.-The deposi? tions of various officers and sailors of the torpedo boat destroyer Bedovy. forming the documents in the court j martial of Admiral Rojestvensky and ' other naval officers, who surrendered to the Japanese in the battle of the Sea of Japan, in May last year, are j published. The sailors* testimony indicate that the admiral's party boarded the Bedo? vy with the full intention of surren? dering to the first Japanese ship they should encounter. Their initial act was to order a white flag pr?par?e. The officers of the staff of Admiral Rojestvensky and the commander of the Bedovy make a pitiable exhibition in trying to shift the responsibility for the surrender on each other. Admiral Rojestvensky. though he says he was dazed am>d out of his head all the time, enters a manly plea of guilty beear se he took rio measures to prevent the surrender.
