VOL. XXII. WRANGLE IS BEGUN For Senatorial Toga of Dead Alabama Statesman. .UP TO·THE LEGISLATURE Governor Comer Will Refuse to Name Bankhead, Who Was Chosen in Last Year's Primary as Tentative Successor to Morgan. With the death of Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama is presented the most intense political situation in years, in which the leaders of the party of all factions of the state have part. By an arrangement in the last primary John H. Bankhead, retiring congressman of the sixth district, and former Governor Joseph F. Johnson were nominated to fill any vacancy that might occur because of the death or incapacity of either of the old senators. This was in the nature of instructions to the governor, in case of apoulment only. The last state convention adopted a plank to defeat this provision to the effect that the appointment thus advised would be effective only until the next regular or adjourned session of the legislature, having that body to select without regard to the nominations. As the legislature wil reassemble July 9, and as congress is not in session, there are many who believe that Governor Comer will not appoint at all, holding that there is no obligation to do so where there is no necessity for filling the vacancy before the convening of the legislature. The primary instructions plan was not to the liking of the governor, and he may be expected to give it no more consideration than he feels he is bound to do. In that case the fight may be wide open before the legislature, and half a dozen men are expected to get into the race. There are some who believe also that Governor Comer might even allow his name to be considered in spite of the constitutional prohibition against: a governor running. The state ceased business Wednesday to mourn the death of Senator Morgan. The flag on the capito was at half-mast and the governor issued a proclamation reciting his virtues, service to the state and long public career. News of the death of Senator Morgan caused much sorrow in Selma, which was his old home. Committee to Represent Senate. A Washington special says: A committee has been appointed by Vice President Fairbanks to represent the senate at the funeral of the late Senator Morgan at Selma, Ala., as follows: Senators Pettus, Allison, Frye, Culom, Daniel, Simmons, McLaurin, Culberson, Perkins, Bacon, McCreary, Elkins, Tillman, Frazier, Gallinger, Raynor, Clarke of Arkansas, Nelson, Stone, Proctor, Whyte, Tallferro, Overman Foraker, Crane and Scott. The following were named to represent the house of representatives at the funeral: The entire Alabama delegation, Bartlett of Georgia, Livingston of Georgia, Gillesple of Texas and Brownlow of Tennessee. Pentitent Grafter Gives Damaging Testimony Against 'Frisco Mayor' Testimony Against Prisco Mayor. When the Schmitz trial was resumed at San Francisco, Wednesday, with Abraham Ruef on the stand, he was asked: "Did you in January, 1905, give this defendant, Eugene Schmitz, $2,500 in currency?" Ruef replied in the affirmative, and said when he gave the $2,500 to Schmitz he told the mayor it was his (Schmitz's) share of the $5,000 that had been received from the French restaurants. Chicago and Cook County Shows Long List for Month of May. Chicago's suicide record was broken in May when 55 persons in the city ended their lives. In Cook county there were 199 cases of self-destruction up to June 8, and the effect of the weather is to be seen in the increasing scale. The effect on all sorts of crime also was manifest. In the first five months of the year there were 75 murders, 22 of which were committed in May. The Savannah Tribune. DEARTH OF ELIGIBLES Among Young Men and Women of South for Civil Service Jobs Shown by Commissioner McIlhenny. Hon. John A. McIlhenny of Washington, D. C., a member of the civil service commission, delivered an address at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association at Atlanta on Wednesday night on the subject of civil service, and incidentally the diplomatic service, and why this character of employment should appear to the young white men and women of the south as a profession. The fact is well known that it is almost impossible to supply government offices in this district, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee with desirable and competent help. Notwithstanding the almost certain appointment and rapid promotion, it is difficult to get a sufficient number of eligibles to supply the demand. It was Mr. Mellhenny's purpose to present the government's service and its claims before the citizens of Georgia in a new light and show its desirability and attractiveness. Mr. McIlhenny is a native of Louisiana, a young man full of force and life, and has been one of the threeply civil service commission for a shade less, than two years, and yet, within that time he, has mastered the intricacies of that work, has made himself master of the field—that field from which all recruits for governmental positions are selected. Mr. McIlhenny is on the inner circle with President Roosevelt, and has the confidence of the chief executive of the nation as few men have. For a long time, it has been an open secret that there is a dearth of applicants for governmental places. Especially short have the southern states been in offering material from which to select. The examination for enrollment upon the civil service list has long been a scare all over the country. In many places that examination has been feared, whereas almost any high school boy or girl could go through it with ease. Simply to show the young men and young women of the south that the examinations were not so hard, and that an enrollmnt with the civil service commission ough to lead to good paying positions, Commissioner McIlhenny comes south. His itinerary includes many of the larger cities. WARNING TO. BLACK HAND. Business Men of New Orleans Won't Tolerate Murderous Daques. Official cognizance that a dangerous Black Hand organization exists in New Orleans was taken Wednesday by the Progressive Union, the most influential commercial body in the city, comprising a membership of nearly 2,000 business men. President Codshaux, of the union, issued a call to members to attend a mass meeting Wednesday night, which had been called by Italians in protest against the Black Hand. This call was precipitated by the supposed kidnapping of an eight-year-old boy a few days ago, and the subsequent demand for $6,000 ransom from his father, a well-to-do Italian undertaker. ORCHARD CALM AND COOL. Testimony of Multi-Assassin Cannot Be Shaken in Cross-Examination. At Boise, Idaho, Wednesday, Harry Orchard, calm and self-possessed, began the seventh day of his examination in the Haywood case. For six days, judge, jury, lawyers, newspaper men and spectators have listened to the story that runs the gamut of evil doing until mere murder has become commonplace, and wholesale assassinations only stir the crowded court room. So far no subtle trap laid by the defense to lure a witness to a contradiction has caught Orchard in material contradiction of his original narrative. 'MAGNATE HARRIMAN IMMUNE. President Decides Not to Prosecute Him Criminally. A Washington dispatch says: That Σ. H. Harriman, the railroad magnate, is immune from criminal prosecution as the result of his testimony before the Interstate commerce commission recently; that prosecution of bituminous coal-carrying railroads should be left in the hands of the attorney general, and that prosecution of the anthracite coal roads will begin in Philadelphia soon, were conclusions reached at a conference at the white house Friday night. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JUNE 15. 1907. GEORGIA DAY GREAT Event Virtually Marks Opening of Jamestown Show. Strenuous, Interesting and Enthusiastic Program' Carried Out Without a Hitch Many. Thousands The Jamestown exposition management has determined to look upon Monday, June 10, the occasion of President Roosevelt's second visit as the real opening of the exposition. The president lost no opportunity to voice his approval of the showing made since the backward opening of the exposition, on April 26, and with this high endorsement, the management feels that it is in position to advertise an attraction for which apologies need not be made. This was Georgia Day and the opening of Bulloch hall, a replica of the early home of President Roosevelt's mother at Roswell, Ga., erected as the Georgia state building, was the feature that drew the president to the exposition for a second visit. From the moment the president, Mrs. Roosevelt and their distinguished guests were landed at the government pler at 10:50 o'clock a. m. until their departure at 4:37 o'clock in the afternoon, every minute was occupied. The president spoke in the Georgia ceremonies from the reviewing stand, and during the afternoon addressed the convention of the National Editorial Association in the exposition auditorium. On both occasions he was given an enthusiastic welcome. He visited the Georgia building, the New York building and the negro. exhibit, and in his drives over the grounds thousands of people lined the streets and gave him a continuous ovation. President Roosevelt admired the attractive exhibit arranged by negroes and was much interested in a remarkable collection of Abraham Lincoln relics, including a log cabin representing the humble birthplace of Lincoln. An interesting feature of the day occurred in the Georgia state building, where Governor Terrell, on behalf of his state, presented a silver service, costing $10,000, to the battleship Georgia, the service being accepted by the officers of the new vessel. The reception by the ladies of the Georgia commission in honor of President and Mrs. Roosevelt followed. Admission was by card to Georgians only and to army and navy officers in uniform. After this a lunchon was given in the building to the president and his party and Rear Admiral Evans. The schedule arranged in advance was followed to the letter and an unusually strenuous day was closed without an unpleasant incident of note having occurred. The police arrangements for the handling of the great crowd were so excellent as to call forth favorable comment on every side. The naval review of men-of-war in Hampton Roads and the reception of the commanders of American and foreign vessels which preceded the president's arrival at the grounds, and the military review on Lee parade, following the president's forenoon address, were the same as on the opening day, with the exception of some slight difference in the personnel of the participants. It was a distinguished party that reviewed the assembled vessels from the Mayflower. Immediately upon the arrival of that vessel the party of Secretary of the Navy Metcalf was transferred from the Dolphin. The others to join the president were Governor Joseph M. Terrell of Georgia and W. N. Mitchell of the Georgia state commission. Passing over the same course as when he visited the exposition on the opening day, the president reviewed the fleets of seven nations, six in addition to the United States. The sea-fighters were in gala attire, the flags of the different countries represented making a striking picture. As the Mayflower steamed flown the long column of vessels, each in turn greeted the president, who occupied the bridge of his trim yacht, with a salute of twenty-one guns. The foreign vessels had the positions of honor in a line nearest and parallel to the exposition grounds and were reached first by the Mayflower, so that their guns were the first to be heard in sounding their salutations. FOR LOWER RATES Railroad Commissioners of Georgia Finally Decide. Barring. Injunctions, Etc., by Roads, Passengers in Empire State of the South Will Be Riding Cheaper After Sept. 2. The Georgia railroad commission, Friday, finally adopted its much-talked-of order reducing the passenger rates in Georgia. The decision, as a whole, was the decision of Commissioners H. W. Hill, chairman, and O. B. Stevens, Commissioner Joseph M. Brown dissenting from that portion of it which put the railroads named in the 2-cent and 21-4-cent classes. His opinion was that these roads should have been put on the same basis as the others named. To the rest of the decision, however, he gave his hearty approval. There appears to be no doubt from the comment that the commission has given the people just what they wanted. The reductions are material and at the same time are not too severe upon the railroads, though there seems to be little doubt that they will be contested in the courts. The commission reclassifies the following roads, and promulategs the following rates for each of said roads to become effective on and after September 2, 1907, to-wit: The following lines are placed in passenger class A, and will be allowed to charge as full fare for the transportation of passengers between points in this state, 2 cents per mile: Class A—Atlanta and West Point Railroad company, Western and Atlantic railroad. Subject to the foregoing the following lines are placed in class B, 2 1-4 cents per mile: Class B—Atlantic Coast Line Railroad company, Georgia Railroad company, Charleston and Western Carolina Railway company. Subject to the foregoing the following lines are placed in class C, 2 1-2 cents per mile; Class C—Alabama Great Southern Railroad company, Central of Georgia Railway company, Georgia Southern and Florida Railway company, Seaboard Air Line Railway company, Southern Railway, company. Subject to the foregoing the following lines are placed in class D, 3 cents per mile; Class D—Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad company, Albany and Northern Railway company, Augusta and Florida Railway company, Angusta Southern Railroad company, Chattanooga Southern Railroad company, Douglas, Augusta and Gulf Railroad company, Louisville and Nashville Railroad company, Macon and Birmingham Railway company, Macon, Dublin and Savannah Railroad company, Millen and Southwestern Railroad company, Milltown Air Line, Ocilla and Valdosta Railroad company, Dublin and Southwestern Railroad company, Flint River and Gulf Railroad company, Flint River and Northeastern Railroad company, Gainesville Midland Railway company, Garbutt and Donovan Short Line railroad, Georgia, Florida and Alabama Railway company, Georgia Northern Railway company, Hawkinsville and Florida Southern railway, Register and Glennville Railway company, Savannah and Statesboro Railway company, South Georgia Railway company, Talbotton Railroad company, Union Point and White Plains Railroad company, Valdosta Southern Railway company, Wadley Southern Railway company, Wrightsville and Tennille Railroad company. Subject to the foregoing the following lines are placed in class E, 4 cents per mile: Class E—Fitzgerald, Oculugee and Red Bluff Railway company, Georgia Granite Railroad company, Hartwell Railway company, Sylvania and Glirard Railroad company. Special Group—The Georgia Coast and Piedmont, 4 cents per mile, except between Glennville and Ludowicl; Flovilla and Indian Springs railway, Lexington Terminal railroad, Smithsonia and Dunlap, and the Sandersville railroad allowed a minimum charge of 25 cents; Tallulah Falls Railway company, 3 1-4 cents per mile; Louisville and Wadley, Railroad company, 4 1-2 cents per mile. PRESIDENT'S SPEECH In Accepting Silver Service for the Battleship Georgia—Dotes on the Fact That He Is Half Southern. In accepting the silver service presented the United States battleship Georgia from the state after which it is was named, during the Georgia Day exercises 'at Jamestown, President Roosevelt, in part, spoke as follows: "I cannot express how deeply touched I am at the action of the state of Georgia, my mother's state, the state from which I draw half the blood in my veins, in erecting as the Georgia state house at the Jamestown exposition a replica of my grandfather's house at Roswell, Ga.; the house in which my mother passed her youth and where she was married to my father It is an act of gracious courtesy and consideration which I very deeply appreciate; and through the governor and other representatives of Georgia I desire from my heart to thank all her citizens. Georgia's history is unique, for she alone among the original thirteen colonies and the subsequent new states added thereto, was founded with a consciously benevolent purpose, with the delibereate intent to benefit mankind by upbuilding a commonwealth along carefully planned lines of social, political and religious liberty and justice. "Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia, was a true apostle of philanthropy and of equality of opportunity for all. His set purpose was to found a state the gates of which should be open to the oppressed of every land and creed, and closed to every form of political, religious or industrial bondage or persecution. His colony welcomed alike those who fled from political or social tyranny, and those, whether Christian or Jew, who sought liberty for conscience's sake. It was a high and honorable beginning; and I am proud indeed of my Georgian ancestry, and of the fact that my grandfather's grandfather, Archibald Bulloch, was the first governor, or as the title then went, president of the new state when the continental congress, of which he was also a member, declared that the thirteen states had become a new and independent nation. Since then Georgia has grown at a rate even more astounding than the rate of growth of the nation as a whole; her sons have stood high in every field of activity, intellectual or physical; and rapid though her progress has been in the past, it bids fair to be even greater in the wonderful new century which has now fairly opened. "Perhaps the very fact that I am half soluhern and half northern in blood, and that for many years I was brought into peculiarly close association with the life of the great west, makes it natural for me to feel with intensity the strong sense of kinship with every portion of our great common country, which should be the birthright of every true American. Since I have been president I have visited every state and territory within the borders of the union, save such as can only be reached by sea. I have traveled from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the great lakes to the gulf. I have spoken at country fairs, to colleges, to commercial and business organization, to associations of professional men, to labor organizations, to men of creed and parentage. The thing that has struck me most has been the essential unity of our people." WILSON ON-WITNESS STAND. Secretary of Agricultura I Department Treatise in #Cotton Leaf Case Testifies in "Cotton Leak" Case. Secretary Wilson of the agricultural department was the principal witness before the supreme court of the District of Columbia at Washington Monday in the trial of erstwhile Associate Statistician Holmes, on the charge of prematurely divulging cotton crop reports, Holmes' attorney made an unsuccessful effort to show that the secretary was prejudiced in his statements USED TORCH TO GET REWARD. Volunteer Fire Company Employs Unique Grafting Scheme. A series of twenty-three fires in Siebenlehn, Saxony, extending from 1896 to 1906, by which sixty-three houses were burned has been traced to the volunteer brigade there. The chief traders, artisans and the burgomaster were the heads of the conspiracy. The firemen were periodically rewarded for heroic conduct for extinguishing fires which they themselves had started. NO.38. MORGAN NO MORE Grim Reaper Claims Noted Alabama Senator. DEMISE WAS UNEXPECTED . Ard Occurred at Senator's Home in Washington—Career in National Councils Was Long and Distinguished. United States Senator John Tyler Morgan of Alabama, for thirty years a member of the upper house, of congress, chairman of the senate committee' on interoceanic canals and prominent as a brigadier general in the Confederate army, died at his home in Washington Tuesday night. Senator Morgan had been in bad health for a number of years, but had more or less regularly attended the sessions of congress. He suffered from angina pectoris, which was the cause of his death. At the bedside were his daughters, Miss Mary Morgan and Miss Cornella Morgan, both of Washington, and his secretary, J.-O. Jones. Senator Morgan attended to his congressional duties until about a week ago, when he was compelled to take to his bed. He was able, however, to sit up for a while Tuesday morning, and talked over some official matters with his secretary. He began falling during the evening, however, and his physicians were summoned. Mr. Morgan was a democrat, and was born in Athens, Tenn. June 20, 1824. His home in Alabama was at Selma. Mr. Morgan had a number of important offices beside that of senator, including membership in the Hawaiian laws commission and arbitrator on the Bering Sea fisheries. His chief active interest in the senate in recent years had been in connection with the isthmian canal question. He was a persistent advocate of the Nicaraguan route and made a number of notable speeches during his long, but unsuccessful fight for the adoption of a Nicaraguan waterway. In the hearings on the canal question in committee and on the floor Mr. Morgan took an active part, despite his great age and falling strength. WILL PARDON MRS. BIRDSONG. Governor Vardaman Will Save Convicted Woman from Penitentiary. A special from Jackson, Miss., says: Although Mrs. Angie Birdsong has been convicted of killing Dr. Thomas Butler at Monticello, and although the state supreme court Tuesday affirmed the sentence of the lower court which ordered Mrs. Birdsong to the penitentiary for five years, she will not go to the pen. Governor Vardaman, it is announced, will pardon her. Immediately after the decision of the court was made Governor Vardaman granted Mrs. Birdsong a respite, which will act as a stay of execution for thirty days, in which time she can arrange and have published her petition for pardon as the law requires. Mrs. Birdsong killed Dr. Butler in his office. Shec laimed she went there to make him retract statements that he had been intimate with her. She says that while in the office Dr. Butler attempted to criminally assault her and she shot him. Mrs. Birdsong is a niece of United States Senator McLaurin. The opinion of the supreme court was brief and concluded with the following words: "As men, our deepest sympathy goes out to this unfortunate appellant; as judges, we are bound to pronounce the judgment of the law. The right of pardon, the delty, is vested not in us, but in the governor of the state." A Campaign of Hate for Amerloans is Being Launched. A Washington special says: Thousands of dollars are being raised by the Japanese on the Pacific coast to carry out the compact they have entered into with the progressive party of Japan for the overthrow of the Salonji ministry, and ultimately of the exclusion clause in the immigration bill and the guarantee of the naturalization rights of the Japanese subjects residing in this country. 7 : / Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums. — 7 LE, WILLIAMS, President.

Acted as Temperance Crusaders and Were Beaten by Saloon Adherents. Rey, J, M. Primrage and‘Rev. A. F. Berkstresser, temperance crusaders, who were reletsed from jail at Fronte- nac, Kans., after they had been arrest- edion a charge of selling liquor, were attacked by twenty saloon sympathiz- ers as they were boarding an electric ear Friday night to leave town and severely beaten. . f The minisfers had been buying l- quor in Frontenac saloons for the pur- pose of acting against the keepers and were arrested on charges brought by the saloon keepers for revenge. : Every farmer wants to know to a cent the value of what he buys and sells, and should not leave this to be figured by the party with whom he is dealing. As fabor saving machinery has been invented to save time and physical strength, so there are devices to enable the mind to reach quickly and eccurately results usually arrived at with much thought and tedious calculation, Time is worth much, but accuracy is still’ more important. Many books have been prepared to make the task of calculating easy, its results sure, but never one fitted to all men, in all kinds of busi- ness. at all times, so completely as “ROPP'S NEW COMMERCIAL CALCULATOR.” This reliable assistant to the farmer and others has been in the market for many years, and nearly a million and a half copies have been sold.

HIGH-WATER MARK FOR SEVENTEEN-YEAR PERIOD IN 1906. Labor Bureau's Statistics Now Include Retail Prices, and Show Why It is Hard to Save Money-No Direct Reasons Assigned in Report. --- The study of the bureau was extended to farm products, foods, clothes and clothing, fuel and lighting, metals and implements, lumber and building materials, drugs and chemicals, house furnishing goods and miscellaneous commodities. Only two of the nine groups showed a decrease in price as compared with 1903—farm products and drugs and chemicals. Seyen groups showed an increase in price, this increase reaching 10.4 per cent. in the case of metals and implements, and 9.6 per cent. in the case of lumber and building materials. Changing Prices of Food. The average price for 1906 of farm products, taken as a whole, differs but little from that of 1905, a decrease of only one-half of one per cent, being shown. Food as a whole increased 2.6 per cent. in average price for 1906, as compared with 1905. The principal articles showing an increase were cheese, fish, fruit, hog products, rice and vegetables. No change took place in the price of bread. A slight decrease in the wholesale cost of coffee, eggs, wheat flour, corn meal, beef, sugar and tea is shown. Of the seventy-five articles included under clothes and clothing, sixty-six showed an increase in price, five showed no change, and only four showed a decrease. In the group, as a whole, there was an average increase of 7.1 per cent. in price. In fuel and lighting, as a group, there was an increase in price of .5 per cent. There was an advance in the price of anthracite coal of domestic sizes, coke and petroleum, and a decrease in candles, broken anthracite coal and bituminous coal. There was a greater increase in price for metals and implements than any other group. In this group the increase for 1906 over 1905 was 10.4 per cent. Of a total of thirty-eight articles in the group there was an increase in price of twenty-nine articles, including tools, barbed wire, copper, lead, pig iron, nails, silver, tin plates, etc. Twenty-four of the twenty-seven articles included under lumber and building material increased in price in 1206. The only three articles that showed a decrease were pine doors, linedseed oil and quartered oak. In the group, as a whole, there was an increase in price of 9.6 per cent. The only one of nine groups under consideration that decreased in price to any considerable extent was that of drugs and chemicals. In this group there was a decrease of 7.2 per cent. There was an increase in price of both grain and wood alcohol, and in that of brimstone. House furnishing goods, as a whole, increased 1.7 per cent. in price. More than half the articles in this group, namely, earthenware, glassware, woodenware and articles of cutlery did not change the price. The increase in the general average of price in this group was caused by the increase in the price of wooden furniture. In the miscellaneous group there was an advance in the prices of cottonseed oil and meal, jute, malt, proof spirits, rope and starch. There was no change in the price of soap and smoking tobacco, and there was a decrease in the price of news and wrapping paper, rubber and plug tobacco. Taken together, the group of miscellaneous articles increased 7.4 per cent. Commodities, Raw and Manufactured. Many students of price statistics desire to distinguish between raw commodities and manufactured commodities. With a view to such a presentation the bureau has divided the commodities included in its recent investigation into the two classes. As thus grouped it appears that the average wholesale price of raw commodities for 1906 was 3.9 per cent. higher than for 1905, and that the average wholesale price of manufactured commodities for 1906 was 6.1 per cent. higher than for 1905. A study of the bureau's cables dealing with foreign products shows that these products reached the lowest average in the seventeen-year period under consideration in 1896, and the highest in 1902. The tables set out also show that the wholesale price of food was lowest in 1896 and highest in 1891; that of clothes and clothing, the lowest in In 1800 and 1891, according to the deductions of the bureau, the prices of raw commodities were higher than those of manufactured commodities and remained so until 1892, when prices of raw commodities declined and those of manufactured commodities were slightly above the price of 1892. From 1894 to 1896, there was a marked decline in both groups, the raw being lower than the manufactured in each of these years. In 1897 raw advanced and manufactured declined. From 1898 to 1900 there was a decided advance in both groups each year, raw advancing to a higher point than manufactured. In 1901 there was a very slight decline in raw and a more marked decline in manufactured. The following year both commodities advanced in price, and last year both reached the highest point during the seventeen years considered. No Reason For Rise Given. The Bureau of Labor has made no attempt to go into the causes of the rise and fall of prices. The aim has been to giv@the prices as they actually prevailed in the market. In explaining why it does not discuss the increase in prices, the bureau says: "The causes are too complex, the relative influence of each too uncertain, in some cases involving too many economic questions, to permit their discussion in connection with the present article. "It will be sufficient to enumerate some of the influences that cause changes in prices. Such influences include variations in harvest; changes in demand due to changes in fashions, seasons, etc.; legislation ordering internal revenue taxes, import duties, or bounties; inspections as to purity or adulterations; use of substitutes—as, for instance, an advance in the price of beef will cause an increased consumption of pork and mutton, and it may be added, a probable increase in the price of both pork and mutton; improvements in methods of production; cheapening of transportation or handling; speculative manipulation of the supply or the raw product; overproduction; unusual demand owing to steady employment of the consumers; organization or combination of mills or producers, thus enabling, on the one hand, a greater or less control of prices, or, on the other hand, economies in production or in transportation charges through the ability to supply the article from the point of production or manufacture nearest the purchaser." The Staff of Life. Man has not always eaten the fine wheaten bread which is so frequently served to-day, and yet it would be necessary to go far back into prehistoric times to find the period in which some kind of bread was not baked. Sarah, who cooked for Abraham, the "father of nations," made bread just as her ancestors had made it for hundreds of years before her time. She prepared a paste of flour and water and, having shaped it into round flat pieces, burried it in the ashes of the hearth. It was many years before the Jewish people knew any other kind of bread, although there were times when these flat cakes were baked upon the gridiron until they were dry and brittle enough to be broken by the hand. According to tradition, it was Pan—the god with the face and legs of a goat—who first taught mortals how to make bread. According to the same authority, it was the goddess Ceres who taught the Greeks to cultivate corn, and Megalarto and Megalomaze who instructed them in the art of kneading flour and baking loaves in ovens. So successful were their pupils, however, that at one time no less than seventy-two kinds of bread were evolved out of various combinations of milk, oil, honey, cheese and wine with the flour of that period. For a very long time the Romans were eaters of gruel, the art of parching corn and of converting it into flour having been taught to them by King Numa (1715 B. C.), while the baking of the compound was only introduced with the worship of Fornax. Permanent public bakehouses were in use in Rome as early as 630 B. C. Strangely enough, however, in the midst of the bewildering progress in the centuries bread is one thing that has shown but little improvement. How He Won It. Magistrate—"You didn't steal this watch?" Prisoner—"No, sir." Magistrate—"Then how did you get it?" Prisoner—"I von it on a bet." Magistrate—"What was the bet?" Prisoner—"I get a friend, that I could take it away from the man who says I stole it."—Illustrated Bits. The Farm A Grape Umbrella. A good substitute for missing shade trees is made as follows: Plant a stout post, nine feet high, where you want the shade, setting the post in two feet of earth; then nail firmly to the top of it, at right angles, two seven-foot strips of two-by-two inch stuff. The next thing to do is to get two old tires from cart or wagon wheels, have a blacksmith weld them into a big ring, and fasten the ring tightly to the end of the crosspieces, says the Delincator. Set a three-year-old grapevine right against the post, coax it to rapid growth, and the thing is done. When the vine-ends lap over the rim and let them hang down all around it. 'Seats may be set underneath. --- A Separator Pays Well. There are hundreds of dairymen who have a clear idea that the separator would pay well. In fact, they believe they should have one, but they look a long time at the cost and try to convince themselves that they cannot afford it, says an exchange. Secretly, they reason that half that is claimed for the machine is not true, and they will wait until more improvements are made. Time goes on and the convenient moment for investing money is past. The dairyman keeps promising himself that he will get it a little later. In the fall he says, "I will buy a machine in the spring." In the spring rush of work comes on and he puts it off until fall. All this is wrong. Every month of delay makes it more difficult for the man to raise the funds, and it makes a larger hole in the profits. You may be better fixed financially at a future time, but the chances are you will not, unless you take advantage of every opportunity to increase your profits at the present moment.—Weekly Witness. How to Test Corn Seed. Lay out the ears to be tested side by side on a table or on the floor; remove one kernel from hear the butt, another from the middle and another from the tip of the ear; turn the ear over and take three kernels from the opposite side in like manner; place the six kernels at the end of the ear from which they were taken, using care that they do not get mixed with the kernels from the ear next to it. Boards may be laid over the rows of corn to keep them in place until the getination is known. A germination box may be made of any shallow box filled about half full of thoroughly moistened sawdust. A cloth ruled off into blocks or squares is placed on the sawdust and fastened at the corners and edges with tacks. Place the six kernels from ear No. 1 (in the row of cars) in square No. 1 of the germination box, and the kernels from ear No. 2 in square No. 2 and so on with all the cars. Then place over this a cloth considerably larger than the box, cover with about two inches of moistened sand, earth or sawdust and keep in a warm place; the sitting room is suitable. When the kernels have germinated, in four to six days, remove the cover carefully to avoid misplacing the kernels in the square. (If a piece of thin cloth were placed over the kernels before the covering is put on, it will prevent them from sticking to the upper cover). If one or more kernels in any square have failed to grow, find the ear from which they were taken (by its number or order in the row of ears) and throw it out. The ears showing weak germination should be rejected the same as worthless ears. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred when farmers see the root sprout start out in germinating a kernel of corn they will say it is "all right." In many tests it was found that the stem sprout often failed to grow when the root started well.—Richmond Times-Dispatch. What "Dry Farming" Means. Opposed to the old idea of raising stock only and doing nothing which could not be done on horseback, is the new idea of thorough cultivation. It has remained for the new settlers to demonstrate what the new country is most valuable for. It is impossible to raise the best crops any place unless the ground is cared for and seeded in a proper manner. In the past the method of tilling the soil was such that no reasonable person would expect a successful crop. For instance, until recently, it has been the common practice of farmers, while harvesting wheat, oats and other small grains, to let the stubble lay as the binder passed over it until time to plow for fall wheat. In such cases the result is that if we have any dry weather at all the land cakes, and when plowed in the fall breaks up in large chunks, permitting the air to penetrate to the bottom of the plowed ground and thoroughly dry it out unless the plowing is followed with rain; but the proper thing to do in such cases is to follow the binder with a disc harrow and thereby mulch the land about two inches deep. After each rain this mulched ground should be harrowed. This of course requires more work, but the result is that when the ground is plowed in the fall it will break up nice and mellow, whether there has been much rain or not, since the binder harvesting a former crop passed over it. Another result is that the ground is in such good condition to receive the seed for the next crop that scarcely more than one-half of the seed sown under the old method need be sown under the new system of soil culture, since the ground being mellow and moist every grain has an opportunity to sprout and reproduce itself.—Richmond Times-Dispatch Preserving Eggs. In view of the very high prices now to be obtained for eggs experiment reports to the Department of Agriculture on methods of preserving eggs should be of interest to farmers and poultrymen. Of the many processes reported to the department the water glass method, using five and ten per cent, solutions, and lime-water-salt-brine mixture method (one pound of quick lime, half pound of salt and one gallon of boiled water) were found most valuable. It has been found that eggs can be kept in good condition for home use for at least eight months by immersing them in a water glass solution or in lime water and salt brine, although those preserved in water glass appeared to come out in better-condition than those kept in the lime and salt mixture. The following directions are given by the department for packing eggs in water glass: Use only perfectly fresh eggs. Stale eggs will not keep by any method of preservation. Clean out the vessel in which the eggs are to be packed (preferably a stone jar) by scalding with boiling water. Prepare the solution, using water that has been first boiled and then cooled to ordinary temperature. To each fifteen quarts of water add one quart of water glass. Pack the eggs into the jar and pour the liquid over them, covering the eggs completely. Do not wash the eggs before packing them, as this injures their keeping qualities by removing a natural protective coating on the outside of the shells. Keep the eggs packed in this manner in a cool, dark place; such as a dry, cool cellar. Each day's gathering of eggs may be packed immediately after gathering by placing them in the jar and pouring-over them just, enough of the solution to cover them. This is better than to hold the eggs for several days at the risk of their becoming stale in order to have a sufficient number to fill the entire vessel at one time. In some of the warmer sections of the country, during the summer months, the temperature often rises high enough to start incubation in eggs. In such localities eggs must be packed soon after they are laid or kept in some cool place until they are to be packed. Water glass is a somewhat alkaline liquid, but the diluted solution is not injurious to the hands if they are dipped into it in packing successive gatherings of eggs, or in removing the eggs from the solution. It is stated that eggs packed by this method will keep for some time (as long as four weeks) after they have been taken out of the preservative solution. Notes For the Farmer. The judges at the International very kindly gave to the King of England a prize for one of his shire horses. This is a very nice compliment to pay to a King, but a good many judges of horses say that the animal which took the prize was not entitled to it. One objection to the steam plow is that it enables Western farmers to put in more wheat than they can harvest. It is now up to the manufacturers to invent some sort of rapid fire harvester that will take care of the wheat after the steam plow has done its duty. The prize steer at the International was raised by a plain everyday farmer. He puts on no frills about anything, but knows his business from start to finish. There are thousands of boys on farms in this country who can raise just as good steers as he did, if they first learn how. Some people make a hobby of their chickens. Well, there is no higher mission of humanity than to induce men and women to ride some hobby that will make them forget the cares of business for a while each day. Let the hobby be chickens, ducks, turkeys, pigeons or anything that will take them out into the fresh air and sunshine, away from the enervating atmosphere of four walls and a roof. If one of the boys on the farm takes kindly to the care of poultry, encourage his ambitions by getting him some thoroughbred poultry, or, if you cannot afford enough money to start him with poultry, give him enough money to buy a setting of thoroughbred eggs. Many a successful man owes his start in life to the ownership and management of something he "took a notion to" in his boyhood days. Whitewash will do great work in killing off lice and other vermin. As cold weather approaches lice are less numerous, but enough hide in the cracks and crevices of the houses during the winter to produce armies on the approach of spring. You can do telling work by killing the remaining few now. Put the whitewash on thick, and if you add an ounce of carolic acid to each pail of wad, you will kill any germs of disease that may be lurking in the building. SOME FACTS ABOUT DOGS BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN. In spite of the disdainful and patrician expressions on the canine countenances at a modern dog show, indicative of countless generations of social supremacy in the animal kingdom, the actual origin of the dog is more completely sarcodied in obscurity than that of any of the domestic animals. Naturalists are still wrangling over his parent stock, arguing that it is almost impossible for the 185 known varieties to be all descended from one kind, whatever it might have been. The world of dog lovers is indebted to America for the production of only two new species. Best known of these two is the Boston terrier, the little, round headed, brindled bull terrier which is good for nothing except ornamentation. A little more than thirty years ago Robert C. Hooper, of Boston, purchased a nondescript little dog from William O'Brien, also of Boston. The newcomer was a halfbred bull and terrier of the fighting type, dark brindle in color, with a blazed face. With this material Mr. Hooper went to work to produce a new type, and by adding a golden color, a milder lip and regulating the marking on the head he at last produced the Boston terrier. This breed is altogether American, but it has been admitted to the shows only during the last ten years. For a long time it was scornfully referred to by the owners of the purer breed as "that little bullet-headed pup from Massachusetts." Whether from patriotism or genuine appreciation, the Boston terrier is now the most popular dog in America, except the collie. The other dog which America has produced is the Chesapeake Bay retriever, the birth of which is as accidental and even more obscure than the Boston terrier. These dogs are great favorites at the Carroll Island Club, near Baltimore, as they are water retrievers and can be used for duck shooting. General Latrobe, who has charge of the dogs of the Carroll Island Club, gives this story of their origin: "A number of years ago a vessel from Newfoundland ran aground near an estate called Walnut Grove, on the shores of the Chesapeake. The estate belonged to Geo. Law, a member of a well known Maryland family. On board were two Newfoundland dogs, which were given to Mr. Law by the captain in return for his hospitality. The Chesapeake retriever is a cross between those two dogs and the black and tan hounds, or coon dogs of that section." This dog is enormously popular in the West, particularly in Portland, Seattle and other points along the Pacific Coast. America has done much to push the, fad for the modern buildup, for the word has gone out to dog fanciers of very land that they cannot be too monstrous or distorted to please the judges of an American dog show. Each year their legs get further apart and their faces uglier, if that is possible. Dog fanciers are now predicting a reaction in bulldog breeding, which shall seek to re-establish the original type of short-nosed mastiff which fought bulls in Spain and England in 1800, then fell into such bad reptile in 1835. The first presentable bulldog shown in this country was sent from England in 1880. General Lafayette sent the first St. Bernard dogs to America. When he came back here in 1S24 he met J. F. Skinner, ex-Assistant Postmaster General, who was at that time greatly interested in dogs. With the aid of General Lafayette he brought to America some excellent spaniels, and in 1830 General Lafayette sent him two big St. Bernards. They were the first of their kind that America had seen, and the fad for them was instantaneous. The prices for big dogs of all kinds immediately soared, and as soon as St. Bernards were established the puppies sold for several hundred dollars, and the full grown SALE OF DISSIPATION. Human Savagery to Be Had at Retail in Every Large City. Take Chicago, then, not because it is worse than or different from other cities of America, but, on the contrary, because it is so typical, and because it is so well known. Why have the primary basic guarantees of civilization broken down in Chicago? Why has that city, year after year, such a flood of violent and adventurous crime? The answer can be simple and straightforward: Because of the tremendous and elaborate organization—financial and political—for creating and attracting the criminal in Chicago. The criminal is a savage, nothing more nor less. Civilization builds up painfully our definite, orderly rules of life—work, marriage, the constant restraint of the gross and violent impulses of appetite. The criminal simply discards these laws and sludes back again along the way we came into license, illness, thievery and violence. He merely lapses back into savagery. To understand the matter of crime in great cities, the first step is to measure the positive forces working continually to produce savagery there. These forces are to-day, as they always have been, greater than can easily be imagined. The city—from scarlet Babylon: smoky Chicago—has always been a great market place of dissinat- dogs were proportionately high priced. Now it is difficult to get $50 for a St. Bernard puppy and $100 is a rare price to get for any of the breed. It is from this class that all the biggest dogs come. The largest canine of which there is any record was a St. Bernard named Giant Reefer, who measured six and a half feet from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tall and measured thirty-four and a half inches to the top of his shoulder. He was displayed all over the country as the biggest dog in the world. When he is compared with the smallest of all toy dogs, a Mexican poodle, which measures seven lutes from tip to tip and weighs only a few ounces, it is indeed cause for wonder if they came from the same parent stock. The Great Dane is a prime favorite with Americans, and there are more of them in this country than of any other one breed. When the Prince of Wales left this continent after his memorable visit he was presented with an enormous Great Dane, the biggest that had ever been seen at that time. The highly cultivated dogs in this country represent a considerable investment of American capital, and some of the kennels shelter canine kings which are almost priceless. Until 1890, $1000 was the highest price that had ever been paid for an imported dog, John E. Thayer giving that for a fox terrier, but later Richard Croker bought a white English bull which cost him $10,000. J. Pierpont Morgan has the finest collection of collies in the world. The collie is undoubtedly the peer of dogs in America, and has for years enjoyed unchallenged supremacy. Mr. Morgan's kennels contain some of the most perfect specimens of the fancier's art and patience. His exhibits, with those of Samuel Untermyer, of Yonkers, N. Y., are sufficient to crowd the halls of any show. The toy dogs have never gained the footing here, which they maintain in other countries, particularly in France, though some of the very small poodles are constant visitors to the shows. Japanese poodles are perhaps most favored. They were brought here fifty years ago by Commodore Perry when he returned from his expedition to Japan. Dogs are among the things which are indispensable as imperial presents, and among the gifts brought by Commodore Perry from the Mikado to the American President were four little Japanese poodles. They and their children were used as "sleeve dogs," and weighed scarcely two pounds. The cause for dogs being popular gifts among royal persons dates back, it is said, to the time of the Egyptian kings, who used the animals as tribute. When the fashionable American woman wants to take up a dog fad she adopts some particular breed, preferably a bull terrier, or a collie. A prominent New York woman who makes a specialty of bulldogs, and who travels a great deal, had the head of her favorite bulldog painted on all her trunks as a sort of monogram. In New York there is a young woman who paints only portraits of fashionable dogs. She has a beautifully appointed studio, engagements for sittings are booked weeks ahead, and she finds making portraits of these canine aristocrats not only enjoyable, but exceedingly lucrative. While many new breeds have been produced during the past fifty years, fanclers claim that a perfect dog has never been seen anywhere. It is difficult to understand what the standard is, if a perfect one; has never been produced, but the training of them will give the dog fanclers something to do, and in the meantime every honest man with a clear conscience will go on loving his own little dog, regardless of blemlshes or dog show points.—New Orleans Picayune. In the jungle you would call this thing savagery. In the city there is a new side to it. The dweller of the city—true to the instincts of city life—has made it a financial transaction. He has found it a great source of gain, of easy money. There has grown up, therefore, a double motive in promoting it—the demand for the thing itself, and the stimulus of the great profit in providing it. You may call the sale of dissipation in the city savagery by retail. Ethically considered, this thing is hideous beyond belief; socially considered it is suicidal. But to be understood and followed through intelligently it must first be considered as such. There is no other way. That is what I must recognize in describing conditions in Chicago. I must talk cold business, as the saying goes. No emotion, no squeamishness, not even sympathy; simply a statement of fact.—McClure's Magazine. The extraordinary development in the manufacture of motor cars in Italy, and the excellent results obtained by some of the builders, is a feature in the Italian trade of the past year. In the year 1903 there was only one firm with a capital of $120,000. This firm produced electric cars. In 1904 seven more firms entered the lists; in 1905 the total number rose to thirty-three, and in 1906 the total reached is no less than fifty-one—Engineer. Automobiles in Italy.

There is not in all New England a house having sadder associations than those that cluster around the old Rebecca Nourse house, in Dan- vers, Mass., twenty miles from Bos- ton. One cannot read any extended account of the terrible witchcraft days in Massachusetts without find- ing some account of Rebecca Nourse, who was taken from this house to die because she was supposed to be a witch, . The Nourse house is one of the old- -est houses in New England. The exact date of its erection {s not known, but it is Velieved that it was built as early as the year 1635. The builder was a man named Bishop, and he so}d it to Francis Nourse. Re- becca Nourse was the wife of Francis ‘Nourse. She was arrested In this ‘ oaceas SE = . +.

Of course, the poor woman protested her innocence, but this did not keep the justice be- fore whom she was tried In the near- by town of Salem from committing her to the Salem jail. This jail is still standing, and is now a part of the ‘residence of Abner Goodell, of Salem, Poor Rebecca Nourse remained a prisoner in the Salem jail, with oth- ers accused of witeheraft, until April 1i, when she and her unfortunate companions were taken to Boston for trlal. The Jury brought in a verdict of not guilty, but the witchcraft de- Jusion was at fever heat at that time, and a violent protest was made against the verdict of the jury. The mob in und out of the courtroom be- came so violent and made such threats that the jury withdrew and soon returned with a verdict of guilty. ‘ Rekecca Nourse was then taken back to jail, aiXl on July 3 following she was led in chains down the {sie of the First Church of Salem, and was solemnly excommunicated from the Church of which she had been 3 faithful member. On July 19 she was Jed out tp Gallows HIN, In Sa lem, aad hanged as a witch, ami¢ the hootings and execrations of the ‘crowd that had assembled to wit ness the aged and infirm ‘voman die for crimes it was impossible that she or any one elso could have commit- ted. _ Mundreds and thousands ofestran- gers have visited the old Nourse house, but it was not until the year 18$5 that,anythirig was done to place a permanent mark on the spot, Then the Nourse Monument Association erected a monument to the memory of Rebecca Nourse on the old home- stead, and now the Danvers Histor- cal Society purposes to buy the old honge to use it as a home for the society. The house stands a short distance from Sgtem’s famous Witch Hill. It is on this hill that elght supposed witches were executed at one time, and the Rev. Nicholas Noyes said, as the poor eSsatures hung In the alr: “eWhat a sad thing tt 1s to see eight firebrands of hell hanging there!” The Rey. Nicholas seems to have enjoyed the spectacle, and, when he twitted one of the women with being a witch she turned on him and said, with pardonable fury: “You are a liar!

Visits are made to local institutions, gnd throughout the year each stu- dent, in addition to her general worl:, makes a personal study of some par- tikular field, in order to train her powers of observation and deduction. So short an article as this has not space even to name the great diver- sity of subjects considered; but mere- ly, by way of illustration, one may mention the social aspects of democ racy, knowledge of standards of liv- ing, the family and dies of kinship, individual treatment ‘of individuals, sanitary measureg and housing legis- lation, recreation, hygiene of occupa- tion, labor organizations, social work of the church, country outings, trav- elers’ ald, boarding houses, drunken- ness, cooking, the use of public: ll- braries. The graduate of one of these schools finds her work but ‘a contin- uation and extension of some one of her studies. So rapidly has come the recognition of the value of clas- sified knowledge and experience in this great field of effort that the schools for social ‘service now act somewhat as clearing houses for va- cant positions and applicants who wish to fill them. | Bie demand. for trained and com- petent workers in the various public 2nd private charities is constant, and is increasing rather than decreasing.

Field .extd that there was no better place in which to live the simple life than New York, Elimination, she said, was the way to it- “What is the simple life?” queried Miss Field in opening. “Can it be lived in New Youk, and is it worth living anywhere? Simple life is the ‘undistracted following of one main purpose, and it is not necessarily in- expensive. A yocation is necessary, though’ {t need not be followed for any great remuneration. When we cease to work, life becomes expen- Sive, because We must™be amused. The mind requires its pabulum as well as the stomach. Work simplifies lite, especially when done from choice. Women suffer most in that way because their lives are so petty, while men have the great things of the world to do. “To begin on the simple life, I should suggest in the first place ellm- ination. Go over your dwellings and remove everything that is not going to be used the coming year. I could mention hundreds of houses in this city crowded from garret to cellar with things that only collect dust. that will not be used for fourteen years; that are rot beautiful, and only add to the tabor in keeping things as they should be in the home —spotlessly clean. “It wonld be more simple if we should stop giving presents at stated intervals.

Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, Hamburg avenue and Wetfield street, on the theme "Lying." The Rev. Dr. I. W. Henderson, pastor, took as his text Ex. 20:16, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. To cut the text down to four words and to make it come straight to the point and our own day, we will rewrite it: "Thou shalt not lie." In our time—whether because of the prevalence of the evil or not, I shall not attempt to say—the word lie seems to cause a shudder to run over the average human frame and to merit reprimand from many. Plain words, we are told, are too harsh, and besides, you know they aren't good form. The thief, he be weak enough to give us strength of courage so to do, we will generally name without the slightest hesitation, but we are slow to give any man the lie. This desire to be proper and polite is all very well in its place. Harsh words are not necessary over points upon which we may honestly and reasonably disagree. Either or both of the parties to a matching of ideas may be at fault. All men are fallible and prone to error and mistakes. None of us is infallible and most of us now and then remember things that are not so, and make statements that the facts will prove untrue. The sharp answer is here very manifestly out of place. But the common liar who wilfully, deliberately, maliciously spreads untruth should be branded as a liar—and that in hot haste. The varieties of falsehood are like the shades of black—endless. But perhaps in no other place than our courts of law is the lie found more frequently or in a more vicious and abandoned form. The unbridled perjury which takes place in our courts is really past belief. One would think that men would hesitate to swear in falsehoods under cover of God's name, but any judge will tell you that hundreds do. The infamous attacks upon men in our public life, the lies gigantic of our political campaigns, started with malign intent to destroy trust in a candidate who is beyond reproach, are unworthy of a self-respecting people and should be abandoned. The unfounded attacks upon the characters of good men, by editors who should be above such things, are not fair either to the attacked or to the intelligence of the writers. The stories that are spread through financial centres in order to weaken public confidence in standard securities or to destroy public faith in the standing and solvency of individuals, firms, or corporations, are pieces from the same cloth. They are clearly within the meaning of the text. No desiro to give vent to spite, no satisfaction of a grudge, is sufficient excuse for any man to endanger the happiness of other men or the health of his own soul. The juggery of figures to prove balances, trade or profits that never did or will exist, is wrong; and the men who do it know it to be unmixed evil. The number of palpable falsehoods that are told in the business world is beyond compute. The desire to excel leads many a man to become exceedingly careless in his choice of words. The very advertisements of our day are self-confessed falsehoods. No one believes them half the time, for experience has proven the need to take them with a grain of salt. Palming off something "just as good" which really isn't; selling adulterated food supplies under the guise of pure supplies; unloading on the public vencers of all sorts as solid material throughout; the publishing of symptoms that may exist at intervals in the physical condition of any man, as the certain and unmistakable signs of the speedy destruction of our bodies by incurable disease; these and a hundred more untruths may be charged against the untrath. The great American sin of falsification by exaggeration and overstatement is too rife, in our land. It bodes no good for respect for truth and it can and does harm. In our social, or should I say society, life we find the seeds of falsehood also. The desire to seem to be more than we are makes many of us resort to means that are, at bottom, false. Simulation of position, wealth, character or wisdom that is not ours, is precarious business. Sooner ovalater the lie will down us and the truth will find us out. Before we expect we may be caught. Who of us does not pretend to friendships which never did or will exist? Those little social catch words that slip so gibbly from our tongues but that have no heart behind them, had just as well be left out of our vocabularies. The desire to say something that we do not feel, in order not to hurt, nakes many of us liars. It is not necessary to perjure oneself to escape embarrassing predicaments. The sure way is to be silent. If you can't speak the truth say nothing—or better turn the point of conversation. Don't be affected, for affectation is a sham, and anyway the cultivation of self is best. Of all the mean and despicable things in this world the lie that is born of malignant motives is the worst. The lie, like the opportunity that is passed, never can be called back. Spawn of an evil mind, it goes on a way of sin. Before its scorching breath good reputations die, and in its wake sorrow, trouble and distrust are sure to lurk. Of all the mean things in this world the lie is the most contemptible. Here as in other cases the popular mind is slow to perceive the truth behind sentiments. Hon are not close to carry principles to conformions nearly half so extensive as logic will demand. The point-blank falsehood with intent to ruin reputation or to bulster up another lie is usually what we think of first. Most of us are fairly quick to see and to go thus far. But is the lie from the tongue the only lie that does harm. Is the story of malignant falsehood which never stops the only sort of untruth that we should avoid and disdain? I think not. That knowing look, or that evasive answer, or that suspicion of a smile; which we all can use and have seen, all three are parties to too frequent lies that we dare not utter. The knowing look has struck fear to many a trusting heart. The evasive answer has caught away the faith of not a few believing souls. That silent, quiet smile has shattered confidence in many a character ere this. "They say" and "some one told me so" are the unholy parents of a godless host of lies. Here is a mother who has asked for good news of her boy, only to receive that mean and false evasive answer that leaves so much unsaid and so much to be implied. The implication kills her trust. Here is the man who paints to you the virtue of a friend. You give to him that knowing look, as if to say, "and you, too, trust him, poor fool;" and confidence is gone. The dainty maiden with her heart so full of love recounts to the nobleness of the man she loves, and you give to her a smirk. Of course you've said nothing, perhaps you know nothing to contradict her view, but you smile and the light of her life is dimmed. Lies by consent, perhaps, falsehoods by implication no doubt they are; but before the judgment bar of God they shall be termed "unclean." But thus far our talk has been largely negative. Let us approach our topic for moment from the positive point. The command not to speak evil of our neighbor when revised in the light of the life of Christ becomes a positive demand for strict adherence to the truth. The sense of the obligation to be true and to live true is at the base of all individual and social life and advancement. No man can lie to himself and be a party to his own upliftment. To move ahead and into unison with God we must be true to our personalities. The desire to obey the pure dictates of a good conscience is the beginning of individual advance. We cannot be untrue to self and true to men and to God. The agreement of each man by and with himself, to be consistent with the demands of his highest inner light is the basis of social credit. The power of credit, that is to say, credibility or trustworthiness, cannot be too much remarked. Credit or the assurance we have of the honesty and reliability of individuals or companies of men, whether firms or institutions, the foundation upon which political systems could not do business nor conduct a government for a day were it not for this great and fundamental principle of human life: that credit—that is to say, honor and truth—must be maintained. For how long think you would the fabric of our state remain intact were mutual faith destroyed and credit given up? The elaborate business system to which we point with pride, will be a wretched thing of the past so soon as personal, and social honesty is removed. Immanuel Kant regarded falsehood as "the forfeiture of human personal worth, a destruction of personal integrity," and another forceful thinker has declared that "credit rests on the general social virtue of truthfulness." Truthfulness is necessary to the maintenance of personal integrity. Integrity is unity with our best ideals. To say it short—personal integrity is the individual recognition of the necessity for personal unity—unity in personality if you will. The man of integrity is the man whose mind and heart and actions are at one. His conscience is the arbiter of his deeds. Disintegration comes with the denial of the rights of conscience—that is to say, of the voice of reasonable truth. The disintegrated man is a man without integrity, whose life is a jumble at the best or whose conscience and deeds when at their worst are disreputable and a discredit to self and society. Be true to self! Be yourself! Maintain your personal integrity. Be a unified soul growing in the nature of the Spirit into the stature of Christ. Thus only can personal truthfulness be maintained and social credit be assured support. The best individual is the one whose integrity is unquestioned. The only sound government that is rested upon that social credit which has its roots in personal unity with the truth of God. Moral Inability. What is the meaning of "dead in trespasses and sins?" We must take great care in our use of the illustration of death in connection with sins! Physical death, of course, includes absolute insensibility, or else there would be nothing to which the evangelist could appeal and no consciousness of responsibility. What it does mean is moral inability. Man is so far gone from original righteousness that he is absolutely unable by his own unaided effort, without divine grace, to come back to God. Thus the sinner, so far as ability is concerned, needs, not merely an awakening from slumber, but the bestowal of new life. Keep in view this distinction between moral insensibility and moral inability, and apply the term "dead in trespasses and sins" to the latter. —Rev. W. H. G. Thomas, in London Christian. Wondrous Lore. A repulsive-looking old woman who, after a life of unbelief, had been converted, became the subject of persecution at the hands of her godless neighbors. In every way they sought to anger or otherwise disturb the spirit of patience and loving-kindness that now possessed her. Finally an old persecutor, having exhausted all her resources in the attempt, venomously exclaimed, "I think you're the ugliest old woman that I ever saw." To which the old woman, her face beaming with a light that made her beautiful, replied in tears, "Wasn't it wonderful that He could have loved an ugly old woman like me?"

OPTIMISTIC SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE WILSON SEEH CHEER UP GOODS ARE COMING YOUR WAY GRAPE REPORT FROM THE TYPES OF AGRICULTURE Panic in Tents When Enraged Animal Charged on Crowd and Attacked Ponies. Twin Falls, Idaho.—Four-year-old Ruth Rozell, who was attacked by a Royal Bengal tiger which escaped from its cage at the performance of the Sells-Floto circus here, has died from her injuries. Mrs. Rozell, the mother of the child, who was knocked down and badly shaken by the tiger, is overcome with grief and the shock of her experience. Thus far no criminal action has been brought against the circus management, and, while the panic following the breaking of the animal from its cage and the ensuing tragedy are the sole topic of conversation, there has been no demonstration made against the circus by citizens because of the unfortunate occurrence. The tiger charged into the crowd, killing the little girl and a Shetland pony, and mauled several other spectators and ponies before it was shot and killed by a man in the audience. For a few moments there was a panic in the menagerie and women screamed and fainted. The elephants tugged at their chains and trumpeted wildly, and there was great commotion until the tiger rolled over dead in front of the main entrance. Hundreds were in the menagerie tent at the afternoon performance when the time came for feeding the tiger and the tiger sprang from his mate. Agnes and been nestled for some time. At the sight of the meat Markel heat furiously with his paws on the door of the cage. The door gave way, and the tiger sprang from his cage to the neck of a Shetland pony fifteen feet away. The tiger's keeper seized a bar and struck the animal between the eyes. Markel released his grip on the pony's neck and leaped upon the back of another pony. Again the keeper felled him with the iron, and he relinquished his hold of the second pony only to seize a third. Another stiff blow from the iron drove the tiger from his prey and he leaped into the crowd. The tent was well filled, and the people fled in every direction, most of them crowding out under the canvas. One woman scrambled to the top of an animal cage and refused to come down until long after the tiger was killed. Shrill cries from the frightened elephants aroused the keepers to further activity. The guns kept by the keepers for emergencies were seventy-five feet away, and had they been GIRL ALONE ALL Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Bell Loses Way in Indian Wilderness. Washington, D. C. — Miss Helen Bell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. J. Bell, has just returned from an eventful winter in India, the most thrilling episode of which was a night alone in the jungle. Miss Bell left here early in the winter to spend several months in India with English friends, Mrs. Mrs. Arthur F. Hopkins. Part of the time Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins and their party, including Miss Bell, were cam- ing near Hyderabad and hunting big game. The men of the party started out on a hunt, one morning, and toward night Miss Bell rode out from camp to meet them. She missed the trail after a few miles and soon found her- self getting further into the heart of the jungle and unable to get her bear- ings. Darkness came on, and with it a heavy rain. Alone with only her horse and a few dogs, Miss Bell-faced a night in that lonely wilderness known for its venomous snakes. The night wore on and no help came, and, unable to TERRIFIC WESTERN SNOWSTORM Six Inches of Snow at Many Places in Michigan. Detroit, Mich.—Michigan felt the grasp of the worst last storm ever known in the State. At violent rain and light storms, the weather turned cold and in many parts of the State heavy snow fell. At Sault Ste. Marie there is six inches of snow. At Mackinaw the snow was driven by a forty mile gale. Reports from the fruit belt are very discourag- available they could not have been used on account of the danger to spectators. Women selzed their children and dragged them from the path of the maddened tiger, and hundreds of little children clung to the skirts of their terrified mothers and scrambled to get away. Markel headed for the main entrance, forty feet away. In his rush he struck several people with his shoulders, knocking them down. Mrs. S. E. Rozell, of Twin Falls, and her little daughter Ruth could not escape the tiger's rush, and were borne to the ground. The tiger held Mrs. Rozell with his paws while his fangs sank into the neck of the child. J. W. Bell, a Twin Falls blacksmith, was standing beside Mrs. Rozell when she was attacked. His wife and children, too, were with him and at the mercy of the beast. Thrusting his family aside Bell drew a revolver and opened fire on the tiger at a distance of three feet. When the first bullet struck Markel behind the shoulders he winced and opened his jaws, growling viciously and lashing his tail against the wall of spectators. The second bullet caused him to release Mrs. Rozell and her daughter from the grasp of his paws, and the third to put him on the run. Bell followed, firing three more bullets into the fleeing tiger, as it ran outside the tent. Markel was sorely hit, but he managed to crawl distance before he collapsed. Recovering his stight foot, he stant the tiger turned and started back toward the stampeding spectators. Bell was waiting for the attack with his revolver reloaded, but the big beast had enough, rolledover, snarling and biting at his wounds, and expired in a few moments. Meanwhile the news that the tiger had escaped had spread, and spectators continued to flee from the tents. Many of them fell or were knocked down in the confusion, but none sustained serious injuries. Mrs. Rozell and her daughter were taken to the office of a physician, where everything possible was done for the child. It was found that the teeth of the tiger had frightfully lacerated the neck and breast of the little one, and much blood was lost before the wounds could be closed. The little girl died, and Mrs. Rozell was removed to her home. Markel was reputed to be one of the largest and best proportioned tigers on exhibition, and was the pride of the manager. He had shown no previous signs of ill temper, and the management of the circus was astonished at his behavior. Many persons thought that the door of the tiger's cage might have been more secure. The keepers were helpless on account of the confusion, and had it not been for Bell's presence of mind and prompt action in risking an encounter with the angry tiger more lives might have been sacrificed. find her way in daylight, she was still more helpless in the thick darkness. In the distance she heard the roaring of panthers and other wild animals. Her horse and dogs heard the sounds and became almost unmanageable in their fright. The rain, which poured down steadily, was a blessing in disguise, though she knew it not at the time. Her friends told her later it was undoubtedly the rain that prevented her being surrounded by reptiles. It kept them under cover and she was unmolested. Miss Bell's friends sent out several hundred coolies to beat the brush. They failed to find her, but at daybreak she found her way to a clearing, and meeting a native who could speak some English was directed to the camp. Miss Bell returned to the United States by way of Japan. The vessel on which she took passage had just left Yokohama when it ran aground on a reef. It was safely floated, and started on its voyage, but a few days later smallbox appeared on board, and for fourteen days the passengers were quarantined on the Pacific coast. Miss Bell finally reached her home safely, with a stock of exciting stories for her relatives and friends. She is now with her parents at their country place, Twin Oaks. WIFE AND SON SLAY OPPRESSION! So It Is Charged When They Surrender to Authorities. Parkersburg, W. Va.—Asleep in bed, Harvey, Yoho, a prosperous farmer, near McFarlan, Ritchie County, was shot and killed, it is alleged, by his wife, and son. The murder took place after a bitter quarrel, in which Yoho unmercifully beat his wife and their boy, about seventeen Mrs. Yoho and the boy, John, surrendered themselves to the police TWENTY-NINE DEAD Left in Wake of Frightful Cloudburst and Tornado. Twenty-One Corpses in One Little Kentucky Town, Which Was Engulfed by Cloudburst While Victims Slept. Twenty-nine known dead and forty persons injured constitute the list of casualties resulting from storms of tornado severity which swept over southern Illinois and Indiana and central Kentucky Friday night and Saturday. These fatal visitations came in the shape of cloudbursts, high winds and electrical disturbances. The property damage will reach many thousands of dollars. Houses were swept away, bridges demolished and thousands of acres of growing crops destroyed. Gradyville, Ky., was the worst sufferer. A cloudburst deluged that village of 150 persons shortly after midnight Friday night. At New Minden, Ill., a tornado Saturday morning killed five people and injured a half dozen others. At York, Ill., on the Wabash river, three persons were killed and thirty injured. At Duquern, Ill., many houses wereb lown downon on the outskirts of the town and four persons were injured. Twenty-one persons dead, the village, devastated and several thousand acres of growing crops ruined, is the sum total of the havoc wrought by the cloudbursts that descended on Grady-ville, and vicinity Friday night. All the dead are residents of Grady-ville, and although reports are meager, owing to the remoteness of the place and the prostration of telephone and telegraph wires, it is, believed that no further fatalities will be reported from the surrounding country. The disaster was due to the erratic behavior of Big Creek, ordinarily a small stream, but which was already swollen by recent rains. When the cloudburst, precipitated three inches of rain in an hour on Gradyville and vicinity, the creek leaped from its bed and took a new course with the impetuosity of a tidal wave. The inhabitants of Gradyville had no warning and nearly all were abed when the foaming waters struck the place, carrying away six-larger residences, a mill and a number of smaller houses. Nearly all the victims were drowned, but four were crushed by the collapse of their dwellings when the torrent struck them. As soon as the news of the disaster reached Columbia, Ky., the nearest town of any size, several hundred citizens departed at once for the scene with wrecking appliances, food and clothing, all the physicians available accompanying them. They found the residents of the devastated village dazed and helpless, but by nightfall all the relief possible had been afforded. Several persons had been injured, but it is stated that none of these will die. JIM CROW QUESTION·UP. Case of Negro Woman Heard by Interstate Commission. Whether railroads have the right, under the law, to provide separate cars for white and colored passengers in interstate traffic practically is the question which was argued Saturday before the interstate commerce commission. The case was that of Georgia Edwards, a negro woman, against the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway company, operating the Western and Atlantic railroad. The complainant alleged that on August 31, 1906, she purchased a first class passenger ticket from Chattanooga, Tenn., to Dalton, Ga., and was compelled by the defendant company to ride in an inferior coach; popularly known as a jim crow car, although on the same train white passengers were permitted to ride in a first class coach. She maintained that she was discriminated against. She seeks reparatory damages and a construction of the law. STREET CAR TURNS TURTLE. Two Passengers Killed Outright and Fifteen Others Badly Hurt.

The William J. Oliver company of Knoxville, Tenn., the largest railroad contracting firm in the south, Friday, signed the contract to build and construct a railroad from Savannah, Ga., to Chattanooga, Tenn., with a cut-off to Augusta, Ga. The total distance of the road will be 420 miles, and it will be known as the Savannah, Augusta and Northern railway, running from Savannah to Chattanooga. Work will begin at once on the construction of the new line. William J. Oliver, when asked about the matter, stated to the representative of the press that he had signed the contract. The cost of construction is estimated at more than $12,000,000, which includes the building of all the bridges and small depots on the line. The new road will follow the Savannah river and its tributaries on the south side to the Blue Ridge mountains, and then into Chattanooga. Mr. Oliver is the best known railroad contractor in the south, and has for some time been doing all the work on the Southern railway. His headquarters and large manufacturing plant is located in Knoxville, and within a short time he will organize his force and begin work on this new line that will open up an undeveloped section from a railroad standpoint and give Chattanooga a direct line to the sea. When asked when he would begin work, Mr. Oliver said: "I have just signed a contract for the construction of the road. Witness the next few days I will place a large force on the line and begin work." STRIKERS GIVE UP FIGHT. Concede That Railway Company Has Best of the Argument.

By cutting out duplicate orders eliminating those which would not stand the test, the railroad commission, a few days ago, slashed the Pennington & Evans Lumber company's demurrage claim of $70,000 to $6,170. Several weeks ago the Barfield, Ga., lumber dealers presented a claim for something over $70,000 against the Augusta, Douglas and Gulf railroad. After eliminating duplicates and going over the claim carefully, the commission has recommended the payment of $6,170 to Pennington & Evans. The claim was based on failure to deliver cars promptly. Cotton One-Third Off. The present condition of the cotton crop in Georgia, as compared with the outlook at this time last year, promises an output of at least a third less than was, made last year. In many of the counties the reduction will be 50 per cent and in a few cases even more than that, while the average decrease will, as stated, amount to about 33 1-3 per cent. Over a hundred counties in Georgia are big producers of cotton and it would seem that of these only six have anything like an average crop. In practically every county it has been plant the third time, which means that Georgia's crop will be fully three weeks behind this year. Must Have $100,000 Capital. Attorney General John C. Hart has rendered an opinion to Secretary of State Cook, which is vital to the interests of the organizers of life insurance companies operating upon a limited capital. Attorney General Hart holds that no insurance company may, under the provisions of the act of the Georgia legislature, approved August 22, 1905, be incorporated as a stock company in this state with less than $100,000 capital stock paid in. The question was raised by Secretary of State Cook, upon the application of the Home Industrial Life insurance company of Rome, which made application for a charter, the capital stock of the company being only $25,000. Secretary Cook referred the question to Attorney General Hart, who rendered the above stated opinion. Road Can Issue Stock.

The Macon Lodge of Elks have won in their fight against the negro organization. who which planned a little over a year ago. The state supreme court has upheld the courts of Macon in their action, forbidding the formation of a colored Elks' lodge. The case went before Judge Felton in the superior-court. He was disqualified and allowed Judge A. L. Miller to preside. The fight was won on an injunction which was first signed by Judge Feagan at McDonough, and then decided in Macon by Judge Miller. The final results have been obtained as far as the state are concerned. Negroes in Macon had planned a local lodge of Elks and the membership was practically secured, but members of Macon white Elks took action in time to secure an injunction, which has been sustained. Rate Practically Two Cents. While the passenger rate was reduced to 2 cents per mile on only two lines, the Atlanta and West Point and the Western and Atlantic, the practical effect by reason of competition of paralleling lines will be to make that rate effective on many other roads. Take, for instance, the Western and Atlantic, with its 2-cent rate. The Southern has a rate of 2 1-2 cents. It is natural to presume that from Atlanta to Chattanooga, with certain intermediary points, the Southern must cut its Rate to 2 cents per mile to compete with the W. & A. Other instances of these competitive lines with differing rates exist, and of course the cheaper rate is bound to prevail on both roads. The Georgia and the Atlanta and West Point are rather happily situated in this respect, as competitive lines do not apply with such force to them. It may be seen, however, that the ultimate effect will be to make practically a rate all over the state of near 2 cents. General satisfaction with the rate promulgated is heard. M'CANDLLESS RESIGNS. Georgia State Chemist Prepares to With the announcement of the resignation of Dr. J. M. McCandless, state chemist of Georgia so many years, the state loses the services of the man who more than any other deserves the credit for the enactment of the Georgia pure food law, which was framed by him, and which was urged in his annual reports so consistently for the past five years prior to its passage. It will go into effect just one month after he relinquishes that important office through which its details will be executed. On August first the law becomes effective and in preparation for its enforcement, Dr. McCandless has been busily engaged for the past few months in perfecting his laboratory for the analyses which are to be made under this law. In speaking of his resignation Captain R. F. Wright, assistant commissioner of agriculture, who has been his intimate associate for years, said: "In losing Dr. McCandless, who goes to establish a private laboratory, the state loses one of its most efficient servant. He has done much. If not more, to build up the department of agriculture through its analyses of fertilizers, than any other member of this department. It was mainly through him that the pure food law of this state was enacted. When it goes into effect the 'farmer will receive another great boost' from the state. "Cotton seed oil, which makes the cotton seed more valuable to him, will be placed on its own merit and no longer will the state permit cotton seed oil to be branded as 'olive oil' and sold for the foreign product when it should pass under its own name. "This is bound to create a healthy demand for this great southern oil, with the consequence that it will rise in price and the farmer will receive the benefit of the increased price paid for his cotton seed. Dr. McCandless was all along a strong adjocate of this oil which he claimed as a condiment superior to the olive oil, and which records show to be more digestible than olive oil. "In accepting the resignation of Dr. McCandless, the department loses an efficient, head and a pure food law its staunchest champion." SHORT RESPITE FOR BUNDRICK.
