Iperlit! to Tilt! Georgian. London, Sept. 1.—Prealdent Roose velt's decision to employ Chinese labor on the Panama canal Is criticised by labor members of the houee of com mons. Kelr Hardle, leader of the party, said: "I hope the matter has not pro gressed to the point of definite settle ment. My views on the American question of Chinese labor may be ex pressed In a single eentence. I hope that the people of the United States will have learned from the experience of the British government In South Africa, and will keep the Chinese out, as they would a plague." "Chinese labor and Chinese slavery under the conditions which were ob tained In South Africa are associated In the public mind. Prom the form In which the news reaches us, I gather that the terms under which Chinese are to be Introduced are almost Identi cal with those which governed their Introduction Into South Africa. My sympathies are, therefore, with the people of America." The secret 'of the steamer Xema’s diamond hunting"voyage Is no secret since she has left the port of London. The facts have now been allowed pub licity, and the surmlso of The Georg Ian correspondent, that the ship It bound for an obscure Island off the Afrlcnn coast proves to be correct. Only the exact latitude and longitude of the dlnmondlferous Island Is kept secret. The Collls Diamond Syndicate, which Intends to exploit, numbers many peers und other titled gentlemen among Its shareholders. They Include Lord Aber- dare. the Marquess of Tweetjdale, the Earl of Albemarle, several lords of the Scottish court of session, a number of baronets and knights, Including Sir A, Conan Doyle, and several naval of ficers. The story of the mysterious Island with Its wealth of diamonds Is told by Mr. Kanyon-Collls, the man ager of the syndicate, substantially as related In the London correspondence of The American several months ago. Briefly, a certain Captain Jones, of Cardiff, found a collection of precious stones In the possession of one of his crew, Dick I’owell. Among them were several line diamonds, and Powell stat ed that they came from an Island off the African coast. Jones thereupon set out to locate the Island, having been Instructed by the diamond expert, Grif fith, who had valued the atones, how to win and wash diamonds. Jones set out for the Island, and In 1897 Griffith met him In Capetown, when Jones told hint he had located the Island, and showed him a quantity of diamonds. These Griffith valued at 176.000, and found that they did not come from any known diamond mine. Jones shortly afterwards died, but left in Griffith's hands a chart which would enable him to locate the island. Griffith, having Just returned to Eng land after a roving career, has placed hie Information In the hands of the Collls Syndicate, formed to exploit It, The Island, which Is about 70 miles from the mainland,' Is believed to be uninhabited. It Is marked on admiral ty charts, but no one outside the syndl cate knows how to find It, as Its name le a close secret. Jones and Powell are dead, while Griffith has sold his knowledge to the syndicate of noble men and gentlemen that are sending out the good ship Xema. The dlrec tors of the syndicate are: Sir Alexan der Muir Mackenile, K. G. Bume, Captain A. L. Hughes-Hughes, royal navy: Captain Frederick G. Jackson (of the Jackson-Harmsworth Polar ex pedltlon), Arthur Lundsberg, a promt nent diamond merchant, and A. B Larkins. The Xema carries an elab orate plant for diamond mining and washing, camp equipments and arms and ammunition. Ancient Sedan chairs are now put to a strange and very modern use by society women. A telephone In her boudoir being a necessity to my lady she finds that her great-grandmother' polasquln le 'lie only form of telephone box elegant enough to suit the sur roundings. The Idea has been taken up by many fashionable women, who have reached the ancestrlal lumber rooms for discarded Sedan chairs, These have been furnished up and In stalled In the owner's boudoir and fit ted Incongruously with a telephone apparatus all complete. A. genuine old Sedan chair, decorated In the Georgian style, makes an elegant piece of furnl turo for a dainty boudoir, . id the un sightly telephone box or naked trans, mltter and receiver Is dispensed with. An "Anti-Smart Set" movement has commenced among the best circle of English society. It Is headed by the young Duchess -of Norfolk, a- high-, principled and fearless lady, who bn? already proved her fitness for the proud position of premier duchess, which she gained by her marrlagi Father Bernard Vaughan's fierce dc nunclatlon of the low morals preva lent In certain sections of society held to be. In the main, justified. Father Vaughan received many letters from members of the "Smart Set” them selves, admitting that many of the charges he made ngnlnst them were true. Now a great effort Is to be made to purge society of the licentious ele ments that have brought discredit on the English aristocracy. By a system of rigorous scrutiny Into the records of those who appear on their visiting list, hostesses who have Joined the re forming movement will weed out the men and women who bear the taint of the "Smart -Set." Inveterate gamblers and loose-livers will be barred from the best houses. A courageous step In this direction was taken up by the Duke of Richmond a yoar or two ago, when he struck off his house party list for Goodwood, the names of certajn ladles with tarnished reputations whom his most Illustrious guest wished to be Invited. Ills grace fell out of royal favor In consequence of this fastidious ness. HUGH GALLAGHER WILL BE RE-ELECTED. Special to The Georgina. Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 1—The an- nunl meeting of the state convention of Ancient Order of Hibernians will be belli In Mobile on Sunday and It Is a settled fact that Hugh Gallagher, of Montgomery, who has been secretary for the past six years, will be elected president.

By RAOUL DE SAINT RENE. Special to The Georgian. Paris, September 1.—Miguel Zama cols has published an eloquent appeal against laziness In the pages of The Gaulols. "This Is the loafing age,' says he, and calls attention to the appalling prevalence of lastness In Paris alone. It seems that nobody wants to work these days. The eight hour labor day has already been obfc talned, but the working men are agl taring for a six-hour day. Soon they will want a one-hour working day. They have got a weekly day of rest It won't bo long before they will want tp rest six days and work on the sev enth. The atreets, the parks are cov ered with Idle people. The cafe ter races are filled at all hours. The benches along the avenues are covered with loafers. The extraordinary num her of .unoccupied people would sug gest a terrible state of things, a sort of national calamity, a country over run with beggars and other poor wretches who can not find employment. But not at all.' The great crowds of people doing nothing all day long, which one encounters at every turn In Paris, are not poor. They are de cently dressed. They have money to id at the cafes, at the races. They : a cab when they are too lasy to walk. They are not Idle because they can't get work, but because'they do not want It. Chronic laziness seems have attacked the whole population. The one object of thought nowada; seems to be to find a way of llvli without working. When some master brains will have Invented machines which will do everything for us, su preme happiness will have been at talned. The nation will sit down and look on, while steam, steel and Iron do the work. Mrs. Hughes-Hallst, the American queen of Emerald court, has given her first hall of the season at her villa of Monplalslr at Dlnard. Among the guests were two princesses, seven mar qulses and five marquises, thirty counts and as many countesses, fourteen bar ons and twenty-one baronesses, and eight viscounts and vlscountesse pashas, and about half a dozer Huh noblemen and women, In add! tlon to a large number of wealthy but untitled guestz. The authorities are meeting with considerable difficulty In enforcing the law relative to an obligatory day of rest. The curious part of It Is that the opposition comes not so much from the employers as from the employees. Sunday hnvlng been decided upon as the day of rest, the authorities have received enormous numbers of letters from tradespeople asking to be per mitted to keep open shop on Sundays and give their employees each one day of rest per week In turn. It seems Impossible to get the people to agree as to which day really should be used to. rest. Westminster Presbyterian church, at the corner of Boulevard and Forrest avenue. Is completing the Installation of their new pipe organ, recently pur chased by the ladles of the church. This organ la being built by Henry Pilcher's Sons, and In its scope Is marvel of the modern organ builder's art. Every Item of its construction Is i patterned after the most Improved plans used In the best Instruments of this country and Europe. Special care has been used In the selection of mate rials, both woodwork and metal, In order that durability may be procured and the most pleasing tonal qualities produced. . While not so large as some other or gans In the city, Its scheme of com- ratlve action is probably not equaled any. From an architectural view point, the design Is In perfect propor tion, and the rich gold and bronzs pipes In absolute harmony with the antique oak and pure white facings of the beautiful auditorium. The Instrument will be used for the first time on Sunday, September 2, when special musical programs have been arranged for both services. At an early date, to be announced later, an artistic recital will be given for the benefit of the public. DECATUR ORPHANAGE TD DEDICATE CHAPEL Will Entertain 800 Sunday School Superintendents Wed nesday at Basket Picnic. floats-away with them-anas tho subject of a communication to the Academy of Science recently. M. Domergue ex plained how to destroy the bivalve's deadly enemy. He explained that this particular kind of ween Is furnished with bulbs which at high tide fill with water, but when the water lowers the bulbs empty and fill with air. As the tide comes In again, the bulbs rise to the surface, and ns tfie weed flourishes particularly In oyster beds, It carries off a lot of the oysters with It. They float out to sea and are lost. The rem edy which Is now applied Is to beat the beds with faggots of thorns at low tide. This destroys the bulbs and prevents the elopement of the oyster. 'No more colored stockings," says Dame Fashion. Even tan or gray, which were so popular at the begin ning of the season, are now considered vulgar. Black only Is worn by the chic Pnrialenne now, preferably black silk of course, nnd low shoes with large old- fashioned silver buckles. Large hats, too, are once more In favor. The min iature straw derby and brimless sailor are no more seen on the heads of the elegantes, but huge Gainsboroughs In can possibly be made to hold In place thereon. A very popular way of ar ranging the plumes Is fan shape, with the quills held In a point by a huge buckle In the center of the front, nnd the plumes radiating therefrom toward the side and back. Others aria arranged fountalnwlse. Instead of falling bnok upon the crown and brim, the plumes are made to stand stiffly up from Just above the center of the forehead and drop over at a height of about six or eight Inches. A writer In The Echo de Paris, who signs ’’Monsieur Pickwick,” In a recent issue writes scathingly of the trend of conversation In modem French society. He says the one and only subject of unfailing Interest Is that of matrimo nial Infidelity. That at eveir dinner, reception, tea or social gathering to which you go In Paris the only thing that the guests talk about Is whether Madame X. Y or Z Is unfaithful to her husband, and whose wife Mons eur A. B or (' has got a love affair with. If you talk politics." says the writer, "the hostess tac'.'ully changes the subject In order to avoid heated discussions. If you broach the subject of finance, somebody shuts you off because you might make matte-s embarrassing for persons present who are In difficulties. Questions of social Interest are also tabooed, os they, like politics, are apt to lead to discord. Try history, and In these days of superficial educations there won’t be three people who know hat It Is all about. Moreover, none ! the foregoing topics are likely to entertain the ladles. What then? Love Intrigue Is the only subject left. MONTGOMERY LABORER8 WILL HOLD CELEBRATION. Sports I to Tin- Gi-oritinn. Montgomery, Ala..

If you cannot get better results for your money, you want the satisfaction of knowing that your present investment is paying as well as it can be made to pay.

No matter how successful your advertis ing is at present the Lord & Thomas Record of Results may point the way to greater returns for less money—the dif ference to be credited to your profits. For the Record of Results is a guide to the three essentials of advertising—plans, copy, media.
