FKJDAY, AUGUST 9. 1901.

THE position of corn king is vacant again. It is a precarious j'b and always ends in a hard luck story.

THE lost gold mines of King Solomon are a reported recent discovery in Africa. Between new districts and processes the gold situation may be pronounced easy.

THE Deutschland has steamed FILL knots in twenty-four hours, ing ahead of her best previous record by fourteen knots. A five-day steamer to Europe is in sight.

MR. GOKMAN'S new idea is the simple, direct disfranchisement of the colored voter, if there is any way to effect it. Gorman is on his last legs and grasping at straws.

GEORGIA is sending to the northern markets fifty car loads of peaches a day, and the main crop is just beginning to move. Peaches in the United States this season will be more plentiful than usual.

A MEMBER of the United States geological survey says gold is found in nearly all the provinces of the Phillipine islands. American prospectors will quickly settle that point when the archipelago becomes safe for travel.

SAYS

Gudon's Magazine: "The sav

ing effected through the construction of scientific roads which can be kept in good running condition at small annual expense would more than pa.v for the full cost of road-building of half a century ago. This saving is not always apparent at first, for the first cost seems to overshadow all other considerations in the minds of the shortsighted economists. It took two dec ades of agitation to convince most of the residents of rural districts thbt it was more profitable to build good roads under the direction of road engineers than to rebuild and repair the old dirt roads after a fashion in vogue since the beginning of things. The greatest triumph in the movement may be said to be the complete education of the farmers to a proper appreciation and understanding of the whole question of scientific road building."

THOSE who had calculated upon making Democratic political capital out of the Sch ey court of inquiry because Schley happens to be a Democrat, are beginning to see that their calculations will not be realized. The navy department would have been glad to have ordered a court of inquiry at any time within the last three years had Admiral Schley askt-d for it, and now that the court la to be held, It will render every official aid possible to Admiral Schley, in order that light may he thrown upon the dark places in the naval campaign which resulted in the destruction of Cervera's fleet, and if it be shown that the department was wrong in its assumption that Schley disobeyed orders without properly explaining his reasons and that he displayed a lack of judgment at a critical period, no where would there be more satisfaction than in the navy depirt ment. Every record of the department has been thrown open to Cupt..

Parker, who is one of Schley's couru-el, in order that he may have access to every scrap of official evidence that will be laid before the court. Judge Advo cate General Lemly, of the navy, who will be judge advocate of the Schley court of inquiry, has gone away oa vacation and wiLl not return until Se( tember 1. His subordinates will arrange all the details, such as making a list of witnesses who will appear beiore the court, etc.

TUB IIAltV ESI' OF GOLD Good judges estimate that $100,000,000 in gold from the mines will beaddtd to the wealth of the United States this year. By the beginning of lii02 the treasury wiil have on hand $5a0.000.000 in gold, and the whole stock of yold in the United States will not be far from $1,200,000,000. These figures are calculated 10 steady those who are nervous over the partial failure of a single crop. There are other harvests in this country than those of the fields. American manufacturing industries were never in better shape and the business of transportation is in the same flourishing condition. During the first six months of the present year the United States sold to Great Britain nearly $350 01)0,000 wo th of commodities, while our purchases from Great Britain during the same time amount-

ed to only 335,000,000. In dealing with the British alone the balance in our favor for the present year will exceed $600,000,000.

Opinions differ as to whether this country wilt export or import gold in the fall, but those who say "we can take in at: our back door more gold than we send away through the front door" are evidently right. Unlike the people of Europe, Americans do not want to carry gold in their pockets. They prefer gold certificates in making yment of customs duties, and government paper of any kind, equivalent to gold, for general circulation. A big tide of fresh gold comes constantly from the mines, and it is but one of numerous forms of mineral wealth taken steadily from the earth. Corn is an important crop, yet it. is only ono item in the mighty American harvest. Some of the crop experts figure thatjthe great yield of wheat alone will counterbalance the shortage in the value of corn. There is no reason to be alarmed about the general productiveness of the present year.

A Family Reunion.

The second annual reunion of tl Harrell family convened at Samuel Stump's residence in Highland, Crawfordsville, Ind., Wednesday, July 31, 1901. Despite the hot weather and dusty roads ther6 were about eightyfive present. Those who came from a distance: Clyde Harrell, of Cincinnati: James H. Stump, wife and daughter, of Indianapolis: Rev. A. P. Harrell, of Clay City, Ind. While the rest of the relatives are inhabitants of Montgomery county, some of them had quite a drive on the dusty roads, but they were present and helped to make the day an enjoyable one, not of mirth, levity and gaiety, but real enjoyment, such as only belong to a family by the strong ties of nature, and no better way can these strong ties of nature be developed and cherished in our memories than met ing together once a year in these re unions. We have many things to thank God for. First, there were no deaths in our union during the astyear, God's tender, loving and protecting care brought us all safe through the year— safe from death. Sorry indeed, there were some of our dear ones who met with uslastyear, and whose associations we enjoyed so much, were deprived of being with us in our second annual meeting. prived on accouuu of health, our prayer is God bless them in their affliction, anu'give them patience to bear their affliction, then they may have that consolation that the Apostle Paul speaks of when he said, "For out light afilicti. which is but for a moment, worketh for us afar more ex ceeding and eternal weight of glory."

Back to the order of the day. J. Harrell, the president of the reunion, arrived early with a good supply of flags which he used very skillfully in decorating the lawn for the occasion The decoration was beautiful. At 12 o'clock the tables were set and loaded withithe good things that i= nece?Dui to stop hunger. TUB tables were plac* under two large tents and were fifty or more feet in length, yet it, with thai length, could not hold at one time all the good things that the relatives ana friends brought wit ii them. Surely their baskets must have been well filled. Everyone ate as much as they thought would be safe for them. Ail ate and were satisfied and there was plenty left for many more. Chairman Harrell called the reunion to order at 2 o'clock for a business session. 'Devotional services were conducted by Rev. A. P.

Harrell. After roll call the minutes of the previous meeting were read anu adopted. A motion prevailed to proceed to elect officers for the coming year. The officers elected were J. T. Harrell, president: Rev A. P. Harrell, vice-president R, D. Rusk, secretary, and Wm. Giilis, treasurer.

After the election of officers G. Stump read a paper on "Home." R. D. Rusk followed with an address on "Childhood Days Rev. A. P. Harrell also gave us a talk. All of the talks were very good and appropriate for the occasion. The orators appointed for the next annual meeting are James Stump, H. F. Harrell and Charles Harwood.

It was agreed to hold the next an nual meeting at Mr. William Giilis's re?idence, Highland. Crawfordsville. There were twenty more of the relatives in attendance this y. ar than last, so the secretary will have a longer list of names to call next meeting1 than there was the. first. A motion prevailed to adjourn until tne last Wednesday of July, 1002. The farewt-li -one wns "God Bo with You Till We Meet Again." G. T. S.

BUTTLE OF CUNTS

Has Now Passed Beyond the Stage of Skirmishing

GENERAL STRIKE IS ON

President Shaffer Issues a Call to All Union Men In Employ of the Steel Plants.

Unless a Compromise Is Ell'eeted They Are to Go Ont August 10th.

Pittsburg, Aug. 7.—The die Is cast. The battle of giants .is on in earnest, whether to Ignominious defeat of orie side or the other, or compromise remains to be seen. Up to last evening It had been merely a skirmish, each Bide trying to find the vulnerable spot in each other's armor. Now it is different, brought about by the actual Issuance of President Shaffer's long-talked-of general strike order. This

order was promulgated last evening to take effect after the last turn of the mills on Aug. 10. What the result will be no mail can foretell, but,'judging by the expressed determination of both parties to the controversy, the battle will be waged fast and furi ously. Much money will be lost, thou sands upon thousands of men will be Idle, great suffering is looked for, even bloodshed and death are possible and feared.

The strike call Include practically all Amalgamated men in the United Spates Steel corporation's employ not now on strike. It was issued from the Amalgamated association's headquarters and mailed to all Amalgamated lodge officials who are expected to call their men into u.e strike. The text of the call follows: "Brethren: The officials of tueUnited States Steel trust have refused to recognize as union men those who are now striving tor the right to organize. The executive board has authorized me to issue a call upon all Amalgamated and other union men in name and heart to join in the movement to light for labor's rights. "We must light or give up forever our liberties. You will be told that you have signed contracts, but you never agreed to surrender those contracts to the United States Steel cor poration. Its officers think you were sold to them just as the mills were, contracts and all. "Remember, before you agreed to any contract you took an obligation to the Amalgamated association. It now calls you to help In this hour of need "Unless the trouble is settled on or before Saturday, Aug. 10, 1901, the mills will close when the last turn is made on that day. "Brethren, this is the call to preserve our organization. We trust you and need you. Come and help us and may right come to a just cause. "Fraternally yours, T. J. Shaffer."

The order of President Shaffer is expected to swell the number of idle men to over 100,000 men at the end of the week. President Shaffer was asked if the call was not intended to go to the union men in the Carnegie Steel company. He said that he would answer no questions on that score. The Amalgamated association has lodges In the upper and lower union mills of the enrnegie Steel company, and a foothold in the Homestead, Duquesne and ruddock mills of the gre.it bulwark of non-unionism. In conformity to statements that have been made by President Shaffer before, these men will be expeded to join the strike, as will all Amalgamated men and sympathizers in all plauts of the United States Steel corporation. The other companies of the steel corporation not mentioned by the Amalgamated president and whose operations the union will seek to hamper are the American

Steel and Wire company and the

The attitude of the American Federation of Labor remains uncertain, and the president of the Amalgamated association is unwilling to discuss it, although -support has been proffered by officials of the federation. This has been done without the concerted action of the federation executive board. Many affiliated bodies of the federation have annual or long term contracts with their employers, and beyond financial and moral support It 111 liard to tell how the body may go.
