New Orleans, Nov. 14.—The earlier
part of the morning session of the
American Federation of Labor was
was occupied by the report of the com.
mlttecs on credentials and rules. That
of the former was that two delegates
whose credentials had not been reg
ular, be seated. The report was adopt
ed.
Delegate Kemper, of the Brewery
workers, objected to the report, say
ing that there was a protest against
the seating of their delegation, and
asked what had been done. He was
Informed that the committee wae not
prepared to pass upon the eligibility
of tho Brewery workers, but vMuld do
so at a later time. A similar request
came from the Sheet Metal workers,
and a like comment was made.
In the repqyt of the executive com
mittee read yesterday by Vice-presi
dent Duncan, allusion wot made to a
circular Issued by the Milwaukee
Trades council advooating a federation
composed of city central bodies. The
move, the committee declared, would
result In an establishment of a body
antagonistic to the American Feder
ation of Labor.
To tbls view, L. Burger, delegate of
the Milwaukee Federated trades ob
jected strongly this morning, declaring
that there wae no thought of antago
nism to the American FederatloSof
lAbor, but rather ter the purpose of
formulating a program having for it*
Object a platform embodying munici
pal- socialism.
Delegate Wilson, of the mine work
ers, asked that aa President Mitchell,
of h'li organization, was not present,
and 1 as two other delegatee werd dlsft

It has 829,000 capital stock, all home

The people of the Plains feel an

furnished with modern desks and up-

Tho average attendance of the Plains

The mnsic department is in charge of

The Masons and Knights ef Pythias
havo flourishing lodges and ther hall
is one of the most complete and best

Plains is growing steadily and sure
ly. It has now a population of about
000. Its trade is increasing and it has
its customers from Marion, Schley,
Lee, Webster and Terrell counties. It
has excellent railroad facilities and it
will in a few weeks be in nearer touch
with the world by means of the Bell
Telephone lines which are being ex
tended to that point very rapidly.
There is talk of a cotton factory and
the talk comes from men who havo the
means to carry uot any plan they make.
It would not surprise any ono cognizant
of the facts to see the work commenced
on this cotton mill within a few months.
Plains has become a very important
factor in tho prosperity of Sonth Gpor

to grow so long as its business men are
of the type now looking after its at

Mrs. Marie Loniso Myriek, tho tal

identified with the people of Americas,
socially, politically and in a business
way that no affair of importance in that
town or in which its people flgnre is
complete without her. And so when
one of Americas’ prominent young
business men camo down to Albany to
wedoneofonr pretty Albany girls it
was to have been expected that Mrs.
Myriek would come along with him.
She is a woman who can grace a swell
