FIRES PISTOL TO
GET SOME SLEEP'
Galhouse, Kept Awake by Noise
of Night Workmen, Shoots to
Scare Them—Fined.
J. H. Galhouse. 822 Hill street, short
15' after midnight fired his revolver
twice into the air to frighten a gang of
negro workmen away from in front of
his home, and succeeded so well that
an appeal was made to the police and
Galhouse was haled before Recorder
Broyles and fined $15.75.
The negroes were putting down poles
for the linos of the Central Georgia
Power Company, and Galhouse said he
had been annoyed for several nights by
the all-night work and noise In the
street, particularly as his baby is ill.
He tohl Judge Broyles that an in
junction would be taken out at once to
stop the work, on the ground that the
new electric company has no rights in
Hill street. He said he had carefully
examined the grants award' 1 the com
pany. and that lie can find no authority
for the Invasion of Hill street.
Galhouse said he had appealed to the
mayor, the police department, the con
struction department, |he city attor
ney and almost every other branch of
the city government, and that all had
infotmed him they “were powerless to
afford him a remedy."
"When I found that all of my plead
ings were In vain, despite the fact that
this company has no right in Hill
street, 1 just determined that I would
resort to my pistol and throw a scare
into the negro workmen." said Gal
house. "The constant knocking and
hammering had continued with such
regularity and had annoyed rne and my
sick child so much that 1 could stand it
no longer. So this morning I Just fired
twice in the air, thinking this would
scare the gang of negroes away. And
it did They left in a hurry."
Judge Broyles told Galhouse he had
no right to shoot his pistol, and sug
gested an injunction as the proper
remedy.

TACT AND GOSSIP
IN MONEY MARTS
This Country Needs a Depart
ment of Labor—Would Be
of Benefit.
By B. C. FORBES.
NEW YORK. July 26. In democracies it
is fitting that labor should have a gener
ous share in the government. Eyen mon
arch tai countries are beginning to realize
that one member of the human family is
entitled to as much consideration as any
other member, even though there may be
a difference In station. The I’nited States
constitution hit that nail squarely on the
head.
• • •
That paragraph is written to lead up to
an Indorsement of the proposal to create
a full-fledged department of labor with a
representative enjoying a sent in the cabi
net. Labor is entitled to such recognition.
Nor will the majority of our ablest capi
talists offer one word of objection; they
will approve it.
• * •
Greater honors are in store for labor
than the public yet wots of. Some time
ago J .stated here that certain very pow
erful financiers, men holding dominating
positions on some of the leading director
ates in the country, contemplate the ap- |
pointment of employees as directors with
voting rights equal to the capitalistic
members. This policy is now finding favor
among interests who old not formerly
bother very much concerning the feelings
of employees. Once an example is set by
one influential corporation, others will
promptly follow. I am told that one of our
greatest railroad systems may be the first
to act.
■ • t.
Profit-sharing plans are also under con
sideration in many directions. The com
panies which had foresight enough to in
augurate equitable schemes have every
rearon tn feel satisfied with the results.
Pensions for employees are likewise com
ing into vogue. So are sick benefits.
• • ♦
The gulf that has too long dividefl capi
tal and labor is gradually being bridged.
• • •
The I’nited States should certainly have
a department of labor. Republican Erance
has one. Germany has not yet traveled
that length along the road to democracy,
but Great Britain has for years had a
labor man in the cabinet •Burns of Bat
tersea,” member of the executive commit
tee of the Amalgamated Society of En
gineers, broke into the sacred circle seven
years ago. Even our neighbor to the
north, Canada, has her minister of labor,
while in certain other British colonies lhe
hand of labor is at the helm of state.
Why should this republic lag behind?
• • •
The bill passed by the house of repre
sentatives provides for the transfer of
the commissioner general of immigration,
the commissioners of immigration, the bu
reau of immigration, the immigration
Bervce at large, the bureau of labor and
the commissioner of labor from the de
partment of commerce ami labor to the
proposed department of labor. A secre
tary of labor, if wisely selected, could eas
ily become one of the most valuable mem
bers of the cabinet He would enjoy a
unique position for bringing together em
ployers and employees whenever serious
labor Uouhles threatened. If a man of
the right caliber, possessing the confi
dence alike of labor and capital, his of
fices could be sought as peace maker ami
power given him to make binding awards.
Or, he could be entrusted with the deli
cate task of appointing arbitrators.
■ V •
Strikes have become a curse of modern
civilization. Would not an efficient de
partment of labor help to mitigate the
evil in this country?
♦ ♦ *
No nation has yet satisfactorily solved
the problem of preventing strikes. New
Zealand thought it had. but experience
has proved that its conciliation board i.J
no infallible panacea; labor welcomed the
decisions so long as they were in its favor,
but after the capitalistic sponge had bee! 1 ,
squeezed dry and no more could be wrung
from it, then conciliation ceased to con
ciliate. Wil! America beget a genius des
tined not onl.v to find a key capable of
unlocking labor deadlocks, but to discover
a sure anil permanent preventive? No
greater economic service could be rendered
mankind.
The oeeasion oft begets the man. Os
a truth the occasion is here with us. Let
us now search for the man A seat in
the I’nited States cabinet is but one -of
Hie honors that a grateful nation will con
fer upon him.

COTTON GOES OP
I ON MILE MINGS
Market, With Bullish Tendency,
Fails to Feel Heavy Selling
Pressure.
NEW YORK, July 26.—The cotton mar
ket opened up from 4 to 12 points to
day. When October sold at 12.75 on the
opening call it uncovered a lot of stop
orders, which caused a quick reaction to
12.70. Many traders had Mixed that price
as their limit on which to take profits,
and there was also considerable pressure
from the room element, on the idea that
12.75 discounted a lot of crop damage so
early In the season. Fairly active sell
ing all around; the ring followed the
weather map, which showed high temper
atures in the eastern belt, with no rain
in Texas
It was estimated that full)' 40,000 bales
were sold in the first half hour of trading
this morning, which was bought mostly
by spot interests and those representing
foreign interests. During the afternoon
trading the market was quiet, with July
under heavy selling. This option declined
14 points, with later accounts ranging
from 1 point higher to 8 points under the
opening. The market is purely a weather
affair, with every indication that it will
continue for another week, until after the
bureau report August 2 is out of the vrtty,
with tendency of prices to work higher
with only slight reaction. Some of the
strength shown in the market is due to
the many anticipations of a bullish mill
taking.
At the close the market was steady with
prices ranging from 1 to 7 points above
the final of yesterday.

NEW YORK, July 26.—Carpenter, Bag

' Commerce reports the following on con
ditions of Alabama and Mississippi:
Alabama —Excessive rain has been the
chief cause of deterioration since our last
report. A drop of several oolnts Is in
dicated, and the season is two to four
weeks backward. A year ago percentage
condition was 92.2. The plant is generally
small and in some sections sappy, and
the army V 'uni has inflicted considerable

poor, it >s not without Its bright spots,
and many localities report excellent con
ditions with plants healthy and fruiting
well.
Mississippi—Too much rain has injured
prospects considerably and percentage
c loitions pro'oablv will show a loss of
several p, jnts sl ice -.ur last report. Jit
many localities boll weevliu are appear
ing in great numbers, and fields are oe
coming grassy. The plant is small and
stands, as a rule, are not good. The sea

up to an average in southeast Missouri,
Arkansas, northern Oklahoma and north
east Texas, allowing of course for the

RAILWAY ISSUES
FEATURE STOCKS
Make Substantial Gains on
Better Crop Outlook—Other
Securities Irregular.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, July 26.—An irregular
tone was shown at the opening of the
stock market today, some issues being in
fairly good demand, while others were
pressed for sale at concessions that
caused substantial losses. General Elec
tric, on which a forthcoming stock divi
dend of 3 per cent has been announced,
yielded to the greatest extent, falling 1%
points to 183%.
The copper issues made the biggest in
itial gains. Amalgamated, which sold ex
dividend 1 per eent at the opening, was
% higher at 83%, but lost most of this in
the next few minutes of trading. Utah
Copper started 1 point up at 62 North
ern Pacific was the strongest of the rail
road issues, selling at 123%, a gain of %.
An advance of % was made in Chicago
and Northwestern, which sold at 140.
Erie and Baltimore and Ohio were up %
each. Atchison gained % and Canadian
Pacific moved up 1% points.
American issues were firm in the Lon
don market mainly on professional op
erations. There was a spurt in Canadian
Pacific there.
The curb market opened irregular.
Many of the important railway issues,
however, showed pronounced strength.
Aggressive buying appeared in Reading
which rose to 158, and fractional gains
were made in a number of low-priced is
sues, including Rock Island and Southern
railway. Missouri Pacific and some of the
Southwestern issues were in good demand.
A strong tone prevailed during most
of the afternoon session. Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern both moved up
about a point and sold at new high prices
for the year. Fractional gains were made
in a number of other Issues. Small re
cessions on profit-taking were in evidence
toward the end of the last hour.
The market closed firm.
Government bonds unchanged. Other
bonds steady.
