VOL. XXIII. GEORGIA IS A LOSER In Back Tax Case Appealed to High Tribunal. STATE COURT OVERRULED As Result of Decision Commonwealth and Counties Are Bereft of About $800,000—The Case Was in the Courts for Five Years. Georgia lost out in her famous "back tax case" before the supreme court of the United States in a decision rendered Monday. This famous suit that was brought by the comptroller general against the Georgia Railroad and Banking company and the Central of Georgia Railway company to collect taxes, since 1895, on 30,000 shares of stock owned in the Western Railway of Alabama, by these roads to the extent of 15,000 shares each. The aggregate of taxes sued for was about $800,000, and in the event the state had won and colected these taxes $300,000 would have gone for state taxes and $500,000 for city and county. Richmond county and Augusta would have beween the favored ones in the Georgia Railroad and Banking company case, and Savannah and Chatham county in the Central of Georgia case. The suit has been in some court for the past five years. It was first brought in the federal court before Judge Newman, and the decision went against the state; it was taken to the court of appeals and again the state lost, and on a certiorari carried to the supreme court of the United States, where the state won it. It was brought again into the state court and carried through the supreme court of Georgia, where the state won it, to the United States supreme court, from whence the decision came. Comptroller General Wright was disappointed to learn of the reversal of the Georgia supreme court by the United States court. He was unable to tell why one case should have been finally decided and another sent back to the state courts for further proceedings. Judging from the dispatch from Washington he was of the opinion that the state had lost absolutely in the Georgia railroad case, while in in the case of the Central of Georgia, arbitration between the state and the railway will result. The details of the decision are told in the following dispatch from Washington: "The case of the Georgia Railroad company against the tax authorities of Georgia and of Fulton county, in that state, involving the right of the state to collect back taxes on the stock of the Western Railway of Alabama, a foreign corporation, was decided today by the supreme court of the United States against the state. "The taxes, which it is sought to collect, run back to 1895, and the company alleged not only that they were excessive, but that they were discriminative, because no such proceeding has been undertaken against any other road, the legal contention being this was a denial of equal protection under the law. The opinion was by Justice Day. "Justice Day also delivered the opinion of the court in the case of the Central of Georgia Railway company vs. William A. Wright, comptroller general of Georgia, and John W. Nelms, sheriff of Fulton county, Georgia, in favor of the company, thus reversing in both cases the decisions of the supreme court of Georgia. "In the second suit the railroad company sought to evade responsibility for taxes on stock of the eWern Railway of Alabama. The controversy was further complicated by the circumstances that the stock is in the possession of the Mercantile Trust company of New York by which it is held to secure the payment of $3,000,000 worth of bonds, but the Georgia court held that as the substantial and beneficial ownership of the stock is in Georgia it is liable to taxation in that state." In his opinion Justice Day dealt entirely with the Georgia process, which denies to a taxpayer opportunity to be heard in any proceeding to collect taxes in cases in which he has failed to make a tax return of such property because of an honest belief that it is not taxable, and he concluded that the Georgia state law, as construed by the supreme court of that state amounts to a denial of due process of law. The Savannah Tribune. THE RIGHT TO BOYCOTT Is Being Strenuously Fought Before District Supreme Court by the Manufacturers' Association. A Washington special says: Objections to the jurisdiction of the court by the defense and a vivid outlining of the machinery of boycott by the plaintiff, through their respective counsel, were the features in the argument Tuesday on the application in the supreme court of the District of Columbia, of the Buck Slove and Range company of St. Louis, for a temporary injunction against the continuance of a boycott of its products by the American Federation of Labor. The whole theory of the defense is that the right to boycott or strike is legal for individuals and therefore legal for combinations. Mr. J. J. Darlington, counsel for the Buck Stove and Range company, declared that the case was the most important litigation of the kind for a third of a century, the boycott cases hitherto tried having been merely local in application. He pointed out that the case is that of two million adult men engaged in mechanic arts who were banded together to act as one man in withholding their own patronage and that of all friends and sympathizers from a single industrial enterprise, the business of which they desire to crush and destroy, unless thirty-five metal polishers out of 750 employees of the Buck Stove and Range company are permitted to decide the number of hours any of them should work. Mr. Darlington argued that 1,999,965 of the men engaged in this boycott have no personal concern with the hours of labor of the thirty-five metal polishers, but have simply banded together under agreement to attack any employer who refuses to allow his employees to dictate his mode of business. If the right to withhold patronage is legal for an individual, Mr. Darlington pointed out that since an individual may refuse to sell to any person, with or without motive he may combine with any number of the persons for the same purpose. Therefore, he contended the vast combination now before the court might refuse to employ a single person selected as a victim, that it might refuse to deal with him or any one who deals with him or to sell him anything, even the necessities of life or to patronize any person who might have business intercourse with him. ONLY AS INDIVIDUALS Will the Louisville Street Railway Co. Treat With Strikers. The Louisville Railway company Tuesday evening issued a reply to a proposition by the striking union employees for a resumption of work on the old basis with an arbitration agreement added to the former agreement, stated that it would not treat with any committee representing the strikers, but the company would consider the applications of any of the old employees for work as individuals. WATERWAYS QUESTION Discussed by Mobile Basin and Tennessee River Association. The Mobile Basin and Tennessee River Association, representing the states of Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida, convened in Birmingham, Ala., Tuesday with a large representation from each of the four states present. VIOLATED NEW DRUG LAW. Cases Made in Atlanta Against Doctor and Prescription Clerk. Evidence brought out in two cases in the recorder's court at Atlanta led to cases being made against A. R. Munn, prescription clerk for the, Whitaker-Coursey Drug company, and a Dr. King, on the charge of violating the law regulating the sale of cocaline, morphine and other like drugs. INSANITY PLEA THE DEFENSE Mrs. Bradley's Attorney Indicates Line of Procedure. That the defense of Mrs. Bradley on trial in Washington on the charge of murdering former United States Senator Brown would be insanity was made evident by the preliminary statement made to the court Friday by her attorney, Mr. Hoover. The prosecution consumed the entire forenoon in concluding the examination of its witnesses in chief to prove the facts of the killing and then rested its case. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 23. 1907. OKLAHOMA NOW ON New State Admitted to Union With Simple Ceremony. TEDDY SIGNS DOCUMENT Governor Haskell Takes the Oath and Begins Administration—People Celebrate Advent Into the Union. A new star, the forty-sixth, was added to the American flag Saturday by the admission formally to the union of the state of Oklahoma. President Roosevelt at 10:16 a.m. signed the proclamation admitting the territories of Oklahoma and Indian Territory jointly as one of the American states. Little formality attended the ceremony which meant so much to the 1,500,000 people of the two territories. In appending his signature to the proclamation, the president used a pen formed from a quill plucked from the wing of an American eagle. The pen will be deposited with the Oklahoma Historical Society. When he had finished his signature the president picked up a small blotter, with which he biotted his name, and, looking up, proclaimed: "Oklahoma is a state." The signing and the incidents connected therewith occupied but-one minute, and at their conclusion the president bowed himself back into his private office with the remark: "Good morning, gentlemen." The slight delay from the original plan of having the proclamation signed at exactly 10 o'clock is explained simply by the statement that the president was occupied with his mall up to the time he actually signed the document. No significance is attached to the sixteen minutes delay. A special from Guthrie, Okla., says: With impressive ceremonies befitting the birth of the new state of Oklahoma, the oaths of office were administered to Governor Charles H. Haskell and other state officers a few minutes before noon Saturday. The oath was given by Lesile Niblack, a newspaper man. The ceremonies took place on the steps of the Carnegie library, there being no state building in Guthrie. Following prayer by a clergyman, the proclamation of President Roosevelt, admitting Oklahoma and Indian Territory into the union was read by Chas. Fitson, secretary of Oklahoma territory. A band of Cherokee Indians then played "The Star Spangled Banner." Governor Haskell walked forward to the center of the platform, where he was met by Mr. Niblack, and took the formal oath with uplifted hand. Turning to the crowd that closed in from every direction, Governor Haskell delivered the inaugural address. Governor Haskell's speech was vehement. He denounced "the combinations that have fattened by unrestricted robbery of our people," declared in favor of prison sentences for offending corporation officers and announced that the liquor prohibition law would be rigidly enforced. When he had finished the governor announced the appointment of Robert L. Owens of Muskogee and Thomas P. Gore of Lawton as United States senators. A parade was then formed and marched to a park on the outskirts of the city, where an immense crowd waited to begin an Indian barbecue, a feature suggested by Governor Haskell. In one of the carriages in the parade were the chiefs of the five civilized tribes, with the exception of Maty Tiger, who was recently seriously injured. The governor's first official act was to order the county attorney at Bartlettsville to take steps to prevent the Standard Oil company from completing a natural gas pipe line across the border to Kansas, it being the policy of Oklahoma to prevent the exportation of gas. There being a legal question as to the hour when prohibition took effect, whether at noon or midnight, Governor Haskell ordered that saloons be permitted to remain open until midnight. The retiring officials of Oklahoma territory took no part in the inauguration. Governor Franz was invited, but decolled, owing to personal differences with Governor Haskell. The other retiring officers were not invited because one of them, E. P. McCabe, deputy territorial auditor, is a negro, and the new administration draws the color line sharply. VARIOUS OPINIONS Are Expressed By Democrats Anent Statement of Bryan. FAŏ FROM UNANIMOUS Hardest Knock is Given by Editor Watterson, Who Hopes Nebraskan Will Stand Aside for Others. A Chicago dispatch says: Expressions of opinion on Bryan's announcement that he will accept the presidential nomination are contained in the following dispatches from prominent democratic newspapers and politicians: Clark Howell, Atlanta Constitution: "If the party cannot win next year with Bryan it would win with no other man." Editor American, Nashville: "If he is nominated he will be defeated. The south should continue to organize for the purpose of nominating a southern democrat." Editor of the News and Courier, Charleston, S. C.: "He would be the weakest candidate the convention could name. He can't be elected if he is nominated." Editor. Age-Herald, Birmingham: "Standing squarely on his platform, he cannot be defeated." Norman E. Mack, Buffalo: "In my mind he is the strongest man the democrats could name." Colonel Henry Watterson, in giving the Associated Press his opinion, declared that he had labored with Mr. Bryan to have him decline the nomination and to quit his "dog in the manger" attitude. Colonel Watterson realized that Bryan had it in his power to demand the leadership of the democratic party in 1908 or "defeat any other candidate by knifing him as he did Parker." Bryan's acceptance is no more than he expected, however, greatly as he regretted the action, because he thought Bryan could no longer create enthusiasm as he had done before the people too many times. Asked about the assertion, often made as to who the next president would be, Roosevelt or Bryan, Colonni Watterson said that the nomination of Roosevelt was all Bryan supporters wanted, because they could then go to the people on the third term slogan. Bryan could carry New England in such a campaign, he thought. Roosevelt, by such an act, would Mexicanize this government, holding himself as greater than Washington. As for himself, much as he disliked to do so, Colonel Watterson would vote for Bryan against Roosevelt in such a dilemma. He believed, however, that Roosevelt would decline another nomination, as he had nothing to gain and the republican party had many men of presidential callbre. He mentioned especially Taft, Hughes and Crane of Massachusetts. He said Senator Crane would shake a strong man on the argument that New England had not had a president for a long time. STRIKE ON AT LOUISVILLE. For Second Time In Seven Months Street Car Men Go Out. For the second time in seven months, Louisville, Ky., is suffering from a street car strike, the 850 union employees of the Louisville Railway company having walked out shortly after midnight Thursday night. The first day of the strike, however, was not marked by anything approaching the disorder that attended the strike last April, and when the partial service furnished during the day was discontinued at nightfall only twenty arrests had been made, virtually all of them for "disorderly conduct," which charges covered mainly the throwing of an occasional brick or jeering at the non-union men. The company operates on a normal base between six and seven hundred cars. It was announced by the officials that when service was suspended Friday evening they had forty cars running. Only a dozen cars or so were running during the morning, and only a few passengers were carried during the day. The service was suspended at nightfall in order to give the police a rest, the entire force having been on duty for over twenty-four hours. Five hundred strike breakers arrived during the day from Chicago and Indianapolis, with two hundred more expected. Adding to these the two hundred non-union employees who did not go out, the company officials claim they will have almost a full force, and will give practically a normal service. FINLEY FILED ANSWER. But Hanson Balked at Order of Railroad Commission Anent Ownership of the Central Railway. President W. W. Finley of the Southern railroad, has written a five-page typewritten letter to the railroad commission of Georgia, in response to a request sent out by that body inquiring into the ownership of the Central of Georgia railroad, alleged to have been recently sold by the Sotuhern and now in the possession of E. H. Harriman. What this letter contains, the commission declines to give out. Although the letter was received in the office of the commission on the 9th of the month, it has not been read by the commission, and both Chairman McLendon and Vice Chairman Hillyer stated that it is a matter to be discussed by the entire commission, and declined to take it up and give it out before the entire board meets. At the same time President J. F. Hanson of the Central of Georgia was requested to write the commission what he knew of the sale of this road, and in both instances it was requested that the replies be in the office of the commission "on or before November 15th." The answer from the president of the Southern was received before the time limit, but Friday night it was stated that no reply had been received from President Hanson of the Central. Inasmuch as the letter requesting this information was accompanied by an "order" issued by the commission, considerable surmise is resulting as to what action the commission will take in regard to this seeming ignoring of a request from the commission. It is not believed that the long letter from the Southern will prove very enlighteneng in regard to the present ownership of the road in question. RUMORS MOST ABSURD. Uncle Sam Alleged to Be Filling War Chest With Gold. A Paris special says: Distorted rumors concerning the character of the negotiations conducted by J. Plerpont Morgan & Co. with the bank of France, with the view to obtain between $20,000,000 and $40,000,000 in gold for direct shipment to New York, which, after having been in progress since last week, were definitely broken off Friday, have leaked out and the newspapers are printing the most ridiculous reports on the subject. One of the news agencies tries to make it appear that the United States government was seeking gold for the purpose of filling its war chest in anticipation of hostilities with Japan. This agency announced that a United States government short term loan was imminent and that Japan had provided against its admission to the Paris bourse, believing "that the alleged dearth of gold in the United States is a bluff and that the crisis was deliberately premeditated in order to permit America to build up its war treasury." "NO SEAT, NO FARE" Is Decision Rendered Georgia Court of Appeals. "No seat, no fare," is the argument used by Judge Richard B. Russell of the Georgia state court of appeals, in a decision written out by him in the case of Lyndon vs. the Georgia Street Hallway company. Judge Russell declared that a common carrier does not fully comply with its legal obligations until it furnishes every passenger taken aboard with a seat. WAGES CUT TEN PER CENT Report That Telegraph Companies Have Taken Such Action Announcement was made in Montgomery, Ala., Friday night that both the Postal and Western Union telegraph companies have instituted a cut of ten per cent in wages of all employees effective November 15th. The claim is advanced that both companies have acted in concert in all offices throughout the country in taking this action. TWENTY HURT IN EXPLOSION. Dwelling House Torn to Pieces by Force of Natural Gas. About twenty-five persons were injured Fridny, two fatally, and dwelling house was torn to pieces when an explosion of natural gas occurred in a house located at No. 103 Elm street, Pittsburgh, Pa. In the fire which followed, two firemen were severely burned. ALABAMA GOES DRY Senate Follows House Lead in Passing Prohibition Bill. COMPROMISE A FEATURE Women and Children Literally Took Charge and Scene Unprecedented In History of Ancient Capi- Unprecedented scenes were enacted in the Alabama senate chamber at Montgomery Tuesday, when the statutory prohibition bill passed. Women and children thronged corridor and gallery, and even usurped the floor itself, pushing the senators from their seats and giving vent to their enthusiasm by shouts and cheers that echoed and re-echoed through the big building. Senators who opposed the bill were hissed down when they arose to speak against the measure, and Lieutenant Governor Gray, the presiding officer of the senate, was forced to reprove the spectators. The statutory prohibition bill, which was passed, was in the nature of a compromise between the antis and the prohibitionists; the antis seeing the handwriting on the wall, agreed to give up the fight, provided the time was extended to January 1, 1909, when the sale of whisky will be forbidden in the state of Alabama. On concurrence by the house of the senate's action, Governor Comer will approve the bill, and it is understood that a movement has already been started by the state Woman's Christian Temperance Union to make the signing of the bill a very formal occasion. The program is now being arranged. A feature of the compromise between the antis and the prohibitionists was that the antis will not oppose the bill to appropriate the sum of $5,000 annually to the governor to see that the bill is enforced. The amended bill was passed thirty-two to two, Senators, Spragins of Madison and Hamner of DeKalb voting against it. The bill passed does not interfere with Jefferson county, in which Birmingham is situated and other counties in which prohibition becomes effective January 1, 1908, but the local option election called in Montgomery next month is abandoned, and no other local option elections will be allowed. Seldom in the history of a state have the people of its capital and those within reaching distance, so to speak, of the capital, been so wrought up. Mobile, Selma, Birmingham, Montgomery and dozens of smaller towns had sent workers to the capitol on one side or the other and early in the morning the lobbles were filled with women and children to begin the campaign of influence. It having been reported that Mobile was sending a carload of women to lobby, against prohibition, representatives of the same sex from Montgomery, Birmingham and Selma made a grand rush early and took every available bit of seating capacity in the gallery before the Gulf City crowd even had their breakfast. In this way, the opposition to the measure was early put to great disadvantage, especially as the overflow of the workers for the bill filled the lobbies as well. Strategetically the first advantage was with the friends of the measure. In the downstairs lobby children stood with ribbon badges which they offered to and planned on those who entered the building. They were lettered, "Prohibition for all Alabama." As soon as a man or woman reached the second story vestibule without one of these evidences of prohibition sentiment, he or she was pounced upon and hauled either and thither until recognized, for one side or the other. Members of the upper house were besieged with appeals to support the bill, the workers for this side being on the ground in time to get in the first licks. While the speaking was going on there were cheers after cheers and handclapping at- every point! When the vote was announced with only two votes against it, the assembly, broke out with 'Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow,' the sounds reberberating through the old building until hundreds of throats took it up.

Our’ mother a Southern woman. She gave to jez first child the name of hér be- ved State. If Virginla had been a joy his name would have been sfeorge Washington. When I was ;yora two Years later to a day I was sgamed Georgie Washington. Your ipreat-srandfather died three months ;pefore I ‘was born. Our birthday “fame the 20fh of November, so near jo Thanksgiving that mother always *Jelebrated the two days {n one. >| “This that I am going to tell hap- “pened long before the Civil War; for ) fhe first time in our lives the Thanks- ving Day for Massachusetts was ‘Pppointed on the 20th day of Novem- er: We all went early to the meet~ is-house the Sunday before, for we mew we were golng to: hear the ffhanksgiving proclamation. All the iidren in the meeting-house kept ide awake that morning, and Virgle ind I. nudged each other when the minister opened the proclamation ith @ rattle and spread it on the lesk. “We knew what was coming. (We utd repeat the conclusion word for ord. ‘Given at the Counell chamber in Boston this day * * * by His Ex- lcellency the Governor, George’ N. Briggs, and by the advice-and consent ft the Council.’ That sounded great, jand. when the minister repeated slow- iy, ‘God save the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,’ ft was grand! I felt it I filled the meeting-house, be- cause it George Washington had not been the ‘father of his country,’ where would Massachusetts be? “The night before the great day we were standing at the kitchen ta- ble, watching mother unjoint the olled chickens for the chicken ple, when the clock struck 8. She lighted a tallow candle and gave it to Virgie. It wes our bedtime. ‘Oh,’ sald I, as ‘I dumped down in the feather bed, “Isn't It beautiful, Virgie, to have birthdays and Thanksgiving all to- gether? And isn't mother kind? I'm just as happy!’ “So am J,’ sald Virgie, giving me a hug. ‘I know something.’ “What fs it, Virgie?’ I asked in a whisper. “Then she tolt me that she was going)to get up before anybody else in the house and steal out softly, and go to the nortif pasture and get some red berries to hang over George Washington's portrait in the front room, to please mother, and because §t would be appropriate to my birth- day. “*Let’s," said I. ‘It will be splen- aid,’ and then I told hef, what was true, that she was always thinking of something to please somebody, and then we sald our prayers and cuddled down to sleep. “It didn't seem but a minute after that when I sat up and rubbed my eyes. Virgle was already tying her leathernshoestrings. ‘Georgie Wash- ington Howe, get up this minute; it's as light as a cork,’ she sald. ‘I'm not going to put up, my hair, tt will take too much time, and it will keep me watm,' and she let fall a cloud of gold over her shoulders,” Grand- mother Gibbons’ voice always trem- bled alittle here. “You've seen the portrait of your great-aunt Virginla, phildren. It’s truo what I told you. She was the most beautiful woman I ever saw; her hair was Wke spun gold. “We put our surtouts over our thick woolen dresses, tled on our warm woolen hoods and tiptoed out for fear of waking Ponto in the shed. Virgie asked me to walt on the stone step. while she brought a bowl: of mother's ‘thicken broth. It was thick and nourishing. It tasted good. *#We drove the cows to the north pasture every summer morning; we knew every ook and corner of It, but we didn’t know the difference be- tween broad daylight and moonlight, and great was our surprise when wo reached the pasture bars, to see the moon going down, and no sign of morning, but Virgie kept hold of my hand and sald, ‘Never mind, Georgie Washington, we can find the path, and the flat rock by the black walnut tree, if the moon doesn’t shine.” «*¥es,’ I said, ‘but how can we find the berries sf it’s pitch dark, Virgie?" «Oh,’ sho sald, ‘It won't be dark jong; it can't, because everybody i.

I don’t know how long we waited, while I lay with my head pressed against your great-aunt Virginia's shoulder, but I heard her calling to me,,“Geor- glo Washington, this will never do, You must not go to sleep; we must get up and walk around.’ “‘T don’t want to walk around, Virgte,’ I sald, ‘I want to go home, that's what I want.’ “‘We'll walk toward home,’ sald Virgie, taking hold ot-my hand, and starting up. ‘We're not In the path, ditt we can’t be far from {t, and we must keep walking, for you must not go to sleep., Here's the black walnut tree.’ “Virgie gave a sudden spring for- ward, and fell. She told your great- grandmother Howe, after it wad all over, that it seemed as if she fell miles and miles. Then it came over her Ike a flash, we had come through the wrong bars, and were over the gorge! That dreadfal gorge where we were never allowed tn broad day- light! Virgie fell till she stopped on 8 ledge not larger than her two feet, ‘but her hair had been canght by,an out-reaching tree branch; and it Held her. True to her wature, her first thought,cven then, was for me. “Georgie Washington, are you up fhere?” she called. Her voice sound- ed through the darkness far away. . “*¥es, Virgie, I am here!’ I think my ‘teeth chattered. ‘Where are yout? “‘Stand still! Don’t stir a step! Don’t go to sleep, wo're- over the sorge. I'm caught by the hair and we must wait!’ 2 “No‘one will ever knows children, how slong we waited. .It seémed “to ‘me as if all, at once I grew to be a woman, It seemed to me.as it God had, given Virsie’s life into my keep- ing. I kept calling dows to her, jejling her that it would soon* be lighter, and thet I felt sure that some way, somehow, I could save her. “At last it came, children, the first streak of the morning! I stooped over, and looked down that awful abyss, but the sight only gave me courage. ‘Virgie,’ I crled, and my teeth ‘didn’t chatter this tlme, for when God wants us to do anything, childrenz no matter haw difficult, He will give us the will and the strength to do'it, ‘Virgie, I can see you, you are not halt way down, but keep still a faw minutes, and I can save you’. “How did you do it, grandma?” always asked the children. “I didn't know how I was going to do it, at first, but I began, very slowly, to make my way, not straight, but in a zigzag fashion, slowly and carefully downto the shelf—over which Virgie hung. There was a lit- tle platform %f rock, on -which' I stopped. It ‘was growing lighter every minute, as I reached up to the twistéd tree branch: Thon God let me sée how,I wad going to be able to save my‘sister. You know-how I did it, children.” “You untwisted her halr,” from the éhfldren in chorus. “Yes, those’beautiful, strong locks of hair, all.Kinked and snarled and held as in a vise, partly with my teeth, partly with my fingers, I loos- ened evory, golden thread. “Now,’ I sald, ‘Virgie, you aro free!

I'm dizzy! “I shall faint.” “I could see that her strength was failing, but I wouldn’t give up that L could save her; so I put all of my- Self into my yolce, and I may have prayed, but I didn't know it, then. “No, you won't faint, Virgie,’ T called. ‘You won't faint; you won't fall! You can’t; you've got the limb. Now here's my hand; lets climb! ‘We can see every step now, Virgie.” “We climbed slowly, step by step, 2igzagging, picking cur way up, and gaining courage till at last we fell in each other's arms, on to the’ level at the top, and that ts the way I met an emergency, the Thanksgiving and birthday we never forgot.

There are the regu- Iation collar and lapels finishing the neck, and the sleevés\are cut in two pleces ‘each in true mannish style.

A now difficulty has arisen which challenges the best inventive skill. Twelvo years ago, the automobile, as we know it to-day, had just made its appearance. This year thera are in use in the United States nearly one hundred thousand motor vehicles ot varlous kinds, from the mono- eycle, bearing one man, to the six- cylinder tourlag car which will carry a whole family. J "The popular enthusiasm for rapid transit In the cittes has thus.co-oper- ated with the need of the great agri- cultural population of the country in the development of public highways, “Road bullding has received a great impetus. Moro and better avenues of travel are constantly being opened up and improved. But an evil has just come to light. Automobiles driven at conservative speed benefit the roads and help to pack them down. Aboye a certain speed, which differs according to dif- ferent styles of paving, they prove harmful and destructive. Flying wheels suck up the dust and small particles of stone from the roadway and cause it to be scattered over the fields or left on the roadway to form a coating of mud or be washed away during tho next rain. Roads paved with gravel or mac- adamized are sultable for- vehicles having fron tires, but they will not bear the strain put upon them by the speed-mad automoblllsts. Asphalt or concrete on country roads will prove too expensive for general use. The remedy must be found in the use of some material which will cover the surface of the roads and prevent the paving material from being d'elaced, ‘The method of relieving this con- dition that has been tried with suc- cess Sh the Metropolitan Park sys- ‘tem of Boston and on the strects of Jackson, Tenn., ts treating the roads with a preparation of coal tar. This not only lays the dust, but protects the road from being cut up by horses’ hoofs and the wheels of automobiles. On the beautiful boulevards of Bos- ton the wear and tear on the roads caused by'Gutomobiles was becoming a serious menace to the life and looks of the roads. In the fall of 1906 sections of the road, varying from a few yards to one mile in length, were given a coating of a tar prepar- ation. At the end of the past sum- mer the part treated presented a level, even surface, whereas the sections of the road left bare were covered with loose gravel and had been badly cut up. : o According to a Government report, the streets of Jackson, Tenn., 80 treated, presented, after seven months’ wear,’ surface that was hard and smooth, resembling asphalt, except that they showed a gritty sur- face. Another advantage of this treat- ment 13 that it reduces the cost of repairing and sprinkling public roads. —Atlanta Constitution.

But -we go further, and add that if manu- facturers can produce cats which raise very Uttle dust, then every en- couragement should be offered for them to do so. From information which wo have,gleaned from a rell- able source, we gather that. the amount of dust, ralsed was propor- tional to the speed up to forty miles per hour, at which the cars ran—and yet motorists urge the abolition of the speed Mmit! It cannot be sald that the speed limit has been of any real uso at all, but unless cars can be made to-ralgo less dust—for it is obviously impracticable to recon- struct all the roads in the course of the next two or three years, even if the money were forthcoming to do’ it—there can be no.hope of an abolf- tion of this limit. For the good of the general public, those designs which are known to be prolific dusts raisers should not be allowed on thé roads.

Thp cause of the antiety is the low price. It {s now so low that some of the producers claim that no great amount of money is made in growing it. Great quantitfes of off were held over from Jast year in the hope that an advance would come. One grower is sald to be holding 13,000 pounds, another 2000 pounds, and others have not sold their crop of last year, still hold- Ing it for better prices. All of this Js in face of the fact that uses of mint off are multiplying, and there {san increased demand for the uses to which it has been ap- Dlied in the past. In fate years there has been a falling off of the crop, due to unfavorable weather and other conditions. The surplus ofl always has been exported, but export?have fallen off because of the competition of Japanese growers, who produce a much inférior article. Th{s country annually produces in the neighborhood of 200,000 pounds ot Olt. | Thros-tonsthe of this aean- tty is distilled in Southern 2ichigan, which has become the centre of sup- ply. Wayne County, N. ¥., once held this distinction, but {t surrendered to Berrien and other counties of ‘Michigan long agoy Up to this time the best offers that have come to any of the growers this season are ‘about $1.40 a pound. In other years the price has gone to $3 and beyond. It has been down as low as seventy- five cents. * Despite the uncertainty as to the tuture worth of oll, the acreage has held Sts own, if It has not increased. There are 2 good many reasons for this, the principal one being that drainage operations ,have reclaimed great tracts of Iand that are partfeu- larly well adapted to the growth of mint, The other day I passed over a farm of two thousand acres near ‘Three Oaks, in Berrien County. Of this big tract of Iand four hundred acres had been planted in mint and harvesting and distilling were then in progress. Through this magnifi- cent farm had been duz an immense drainage canal that had saved thou- sands of acres of the finest muck Iand in the State. This canat was six miles Jong. It was at least thirty feet across the top and from ten to fifteen feet deep. On the bank of this canal had been construtted one of the larg- est mint distilleries of the mint re- gion. The water in the canal fur- nished all of the requirements for steam and cooling purposes, and this distillery had a capacity of from elght to thirteen forty-pound cans of olf a day. Other roasons for fiicreased acre- age are that new and improved. ma- chinery and implements for distilla~ tion and cultivation have come into use, so that crops may be handled more easily and speedily. Then the growers have been educating them- selves as to the different new uses to which mint oll is put. They are banking on the fact that the Michigan oll fs the finest that can be produced, and that theré must be an increased demand and that prices finally will rise. ‘The weather for this year’s crop of mint was not good. It was too wet, and an immense amount of labor was required to keep the weeds out of tho new patches. It was simply {m- possible to weed out the old patches, and to-day the weeds go into.the vats along with the mint, except that which comes from the ‘new patches. Until last year mint was planted fn the spring, but recently a young woman Brower who had forty acres in mint adopted and 1s now carrying out a new plan, She plants in the fall. Her farm is well protected by Lake Michigan. She argues that it !s much easter to smooth over the land in October than in Barch. Of course, she runs the risk of the plant being frozen, but up to this time she has profited by fall planting. It must be understood that only a little planting 1s done each year, for tho old plants continue to produce annually, but the production of off is less with each ensuing year,so that finally its pro- duction 18 tog low to allow it to stand.

FUTURE.WARSMAYBEFOUGHTINAIR To Be Settled With Minimum-Loss of Life, Declares Major Squires. New York City—Brigadier-General James Allen, head of the Signal Corps of the United States Army; Major George O. Squiers, of the Signal Corps, and Admiral C. M. Chester, of the navy, were speakers before the International Aeronautical Congress in the house of the Automobile Club of America. The value of the airship in army and navy and the types best suited for the different branches of the service were set forward by the speakers, who are working on the problem on behalf of the American Government. General Allen said that the corps was building in Omaha a large aerodrome, 200 feet long, 100 feet wide and eighty feet high, where the 300 Signal Corps men stationed in the region will be trained. Later, he said, an aerodrome would probably be erected in the Atlantic coast and one on the Pacific coast. "We are more interested in the dirigible bulloon than in the aeroplane," he said, "and shall make our gas by the electric process." The liquid air process has been tried, he said, but was not successful. General Allen said that he understood that Secretary Taft would ask Congress for $200,000 for the prosecution of the work. A resolution was adopted asking President Roosevelt to intercede with Congress in behalf of the new branch of military activity. "The practical dirigible balloon is here now," Major Squilers said. "The last great war was conducted strictly in line with the textbooks, accompanied at times with unlimited slaughter. The great object of war is to bring about a decisive result with a minimum destruction of human life. If we could utilize scientific principles to bring about this result without killing any one it would be the ideal. The cavalry is designed to scout and develop information for use in the handling and operation of the army which it serves. Aerial navigation furnishes us with an additional weapon for obtaining information and for using the information thus obtained. It will enable the maneuvering of armies by strategic marches and surprises to bring about decisive results with minimum destruction of life." Admiral Chester, speaking for the naval side of the work, said that it had recently come to light that the balloons were used by the navies as well as by the Army in the Battle of Dienburg. When it is learned from actual practice to substantiate the theory that the airship is likely to become the long sought antidote against attacks from submarines," he said. "The elevation enables the observer to discover the movements of submarines under the water, and floating mines and stationary mines may be detected. "The dirigible balloon has been adopted by armies, but it is not profitable for general use on shipboard. Naval men should give their attention to the development of the aeroplane. It is peculiarly a naval weapon because of its compactness, the fact that on shipboard it would always be near a machine shop—a necessary factor in operating so delicate a piece of machinery—its adaptability for scouting purposes and the fact that it would have the power at hand for initial movement. An inclined plane which is commonly used for acquiring movement may be readily constructed on shipboard, but when the ship's own velocity is insufficient, turning her into the wind would give her own speed combined with that of the wind." In his address as president of the Congress Willis L. Moore reviewed the history of the development of aerial navigation and concluded that it was evident that the first application of the work would be in the art of war. "Commercially very little is to be expected from either balloons or flying machines," he said. "Upon the whole, now that success has come, we see that the conquest of the air has more limited practical uses than was imagined when it was not known how the process was to be achieved, but it may develop new uses of its own and prove an important benefit to mankind."

In 1903 they were twenty and one-half cents, and seventeen cents in 1902. The cheapest turkies now in the market are twelve cents wholesale, and there is little demand for them, while there is only a fair demand for the best stock, the sales made being above seventeen cents. There are few shipments coming from near home most of the supplies coming to the West. Retail shops are selling the best turkies for twenty-seven cents, but intimate that the price will be higher before many weeks roll around. At Henderson, Ky., by a deal just completed, the Imperial Tobacco Company bought the entire 1907 tobacco crop pledged to the American Society of Equity in Henderson, Union, Webster, Hopkins and Crittenden Counties. The deal involves 16,000,000 pounds of tobacco and will bring $500,000 in English money to the farmers of that section. The price is the highest ever paid, with the exception of the war price. Among the Masons. Proclamation No. 1 For This Masonic Year—Ordered To Be Read at Four Regular Communications Without Fall. To the Worshipful, Masters, Wardens and Brothers of this Most Worshipful Union Grand Jurisdiction of Free and Accepted Masons, Greeting: Peace and brotherly love be with you always, Amen, Amen, Amen. After a hard year's labor both in my practice and for the craft, I have, after traveling more than seven thousand miles in the far West, returned and take up my work where I left it off. The West is a great country, but I would not advise our people to migrate there in great numbers, for that will produce the same state of affairs there that we have here, namely: A congestion of colored people. There is some prejudice everywhere I went; hence there is no escape from that most cruel of all human evils. Wherever we go we will have to work. I would say to the masses of our people to let their buckets down where they are. Let them down in business, let them down in farming, let them down in the professions, and every other honest field of labor, and the time will come, and it will not be always coming, that we will be treated as men, and have the chances of other men. The must come, or there is no God, and the Bible is not true, and we all know the Bible is the word of God and that He still lives, hence it must come. The jurisdiction is in a most excellent condition and growing at a most wonderful rate. Every Master Mason is urged to live and conduct himself as a man and a Mason. Avoid even the appearance of evil. Treat every human being right, regardless of color. Let right and justice be your motto. For seals apply to this office. Your attention is called to the fact that at the last session of the Grand Lodge is was almost the unanimous opinion of our delegates to that body that the Masons of Georgia establish a benefit fund of some kind. Hence at that session the Masonic Benefit Association was established. You will find the laws regulating it on page sixty-two, in the minutes.

Take due notice and be so governed. The Masters are hereby ordered to have said laws read to the members of the several lodges. Special attention is called to one clause in said laws, namely: That January first, every member of the jurisdiction is to pay to the Secretary-Treasurer of that department, Brother W. C.

It also states that payments will begin in June, increasing $30.00 each year until $300.00 is reached. I wish to state for the benefit of the brothers that *if the brothers will all pay in, according to the laws as laid down, we will be able in June to pay the first year's allowance to each death that may have occurred from January first up to June. Hence I urge every brother and every lodge to see to it that the law is obeyed in every particular. While we have the best thing of its kind in existence, yet there is some room for improvement, which will be looked after at our next grand session. We also have to keep in mind that Masonry, being the oldest organization in the State, has in it more old members than any other organization in the State; hence in the making of our laws, we had to keep in mind that we would have more deaths than any other organization, hence the graduation plan we have adopted. I also believe that by the time the three-year limit is reached, our money will have accumulated to the extent that we can haise the value of our certificates of membership to at least $500.00. Again, you are hereby notified that our Orphans' Home and School at Americus, and Grand East, still needs our fostering care. It is still running and is in good condition. Professor J. C. Styles, principal, and Mrs. Styles, matron and assistant teacher. Last year we raised our own farm. We have a mule, and the children did some good work. They were taught in agriculture as well as in their books. - The buildings need covering, painting and repairing. To do this, you will see in the minutes that it was -uan- imously passed that each lodge in the jurisdiction give $2.00 for that work! I would suggest that this money be raised at our installation services by a general collection or by a Masonic supper given for that special cause at the time of the installation. If any lodge would rather give this, amount out of its treasury it will be all right. I would like for all lodges so donating to send the money to the Grand Secretary, telling him plainly for what it is for, and at the same time notify this office, as I wish to keep note and give the lodge, giving the largest sum for that work a present. The assessment for that department of our work this year is only fifty cents a year for each member of every warranted lodge. This money is due and payable as follows: Twenty-five cents on or before December 27th, and twenty-five cents on or before March 30th. All warranted lodges will take due and timely notice, and so be governed. Dear Brothers, we have everything to be thankful for. Our jurisdiction is among the best in the world. I have traveled more than seven thousand miles this summer in more than sixteen states, and wherever I went I was received and accorded as your Gran Master, and our jurisdiction praised for the great work it is doing besides practicing grips, signs and tokens. Let every Master begin now to make his lodge the best in the jurisdiction in obeying all the rules and edicts of the Grand Lodge. Let there be no lagging behind in the tents and grumbling, but let every Master and member be up and doing eo excel every lodge in his section. It shall be my special work to have my lodge, Crystal No 112, eo excel every lodge in my section, and I am expecting every Grand Lodge officer and every Grand Committeeman to do the same for his lodge, and every Master and member of every warranted lodge to do the same for their lodges. Let us have the lodge pride and we will not allow any other lodge to excel our lodge. In conclusion, let me urge that every lodge, and as far as possible, every brother, take the Savannah Tribune, our official organ. Send it Masonic notes. Fill out the enclosed blanks after the installation of officers. Don't hold back these blanks under penalty of suspension. Finally, brethren, be of good cheer, be charitable, be loving, be faithful in all your duties of Life, at home and in your lodge, and our great Architect of the Universe will guard, protect and guide you. Peace and happiness be and abide with you all forever and ever. Amen! Amen! Amen! PRESIDENT WRIGHT REPLIES TO T. E. M. Editor Tribune: In your issue of November 16th, you published a communication with reference to the late State Fair signed "T. E. M." Who "T. E. M." is I do not know, but I have always understood that a man who attacks another anonymously is an assassin who raises his hand to strike the blow but has not the courage to perform the job. The thing, however, that seems to trouble your correspondent most is that you are sore. He seems to think that you are "sore" because you did not handle any of the Fair's cash. Now I hope your correspondent is in error as to the cause of your soreness. You did get a chance, to handle about $2,653.12 of the Fair's cash and this was after an auditing committee consisting of Dr. H. D. Canady, Mr. C. H. Douglass and Dr. J. B. Stevens had thoroughly examined every expenditure and voucher and reported that the accounts were correct in every particular. Some time after this you handed your resignation to me and stated as the reason for your resignation that you had more than you could do. I took you at your word. You did not state to either Mr. Lucas E. Williams or Mr. W. S. Scott, the acting treasurer, that you resigned because you did not get a chance to handle the cash, though this may be true. There was turned over to you $3,658.12 and not a dollar of it was paid out while you were treasurer without your signature. When you turned over to Mr. W. S. Scott, as acting treasurer $1,614.68, there had been paid out the difference between these sums. Now if this is correct, your correspondent, to use a common phrase, was simply talking through his hat, or in other words, he shot off his mouth without the use of his brains when he stated the cause of your resignation. The trouble, Mr. Editor, as you must know, was not to find some one to handle the cash but to find the cash to be handled. I have now before me a bill of one of our colored newspapers for $108.00 and also your bill, which have not yet been paid. These bills will be paid, but I must say to you-it took considerable hard work to find the "cash" to pay these bills. During the progress of the Fair, the constitution of the-Association places the entire management of the Fair in the hands of the President and he is to so manage things so as to have some cash to turn over to the treasurer at the end of the Fair, so that debts and dividends may be paid. As to the handling of the cash at the last Fair, there were six men who handled the money at the gates, namely: J. H. Kite, of Newman, Ga.; Professor N. W. Clark, of Louisville, Ga.; J. H. Lane, of Savannah, Ga; Dr. W. O. Emory, of Macon, Ga.; Dr. J. B.-Sevens, of Darten, Ga, and Professor L. B. Thompson. These were assisted by still others. In fact, there were seventy-one men and fifteen ladies on the payroll of the Fair. At the shows in charge of Mr. R. R. Wright, Jr., there were twenty men who were to Jook out for the money which came from this source. In fact, it was difficult to get hold of sufficient competent help in order to get the cash to handle. Now, as it was my duty, I sat up until one or two o'clock each night in order to receive the reports of these men so as to have something to put into the bank on the next day to meet the debts of the Association. Often men and women were standing there waiting for the money even before it could be counted. The next point of grievance to your correspondent seems to be that out of eighty-seven men, I employed my son. Let me tell him why I engaged him. This is why. I was responsible for the success of the Fair. I could not succeed unless I could save the money. I needed a man in whom I had absolute confidence and whose ability I was sure of. My son had been my clerk when I was paymaster in the United States army, where I handled successfully nearly one million dollars for the United States Government. If he could help me handle Uncle Sam's cash all right, I felt that I could depend upon him to help me handle the Fair's cash. As to my son-in-law, Professor L. B. Thompson, he was elected secretary of the Association before he was my son-in-law and re-elected by you, Mr. Editor, and others. Did his becoming my son-in-law disqualify him for the position with the Association? He has for many years occupied and still occupies a responsible position in the Association. He has for less money than any one else would serve, given his days and nights to the Association. As to my daughter. I had two ladies employed to do the work which she is now doing. To one we gave $45.00 and to the other $30.00 per month. This was more than the Association was able to pay. Neither one of the ladies were willing to stick to the work because it required them to work hard, early and late. After they resigned, in order to keep the work going I had to recall my daughter from a good-paying position to the place of stenographer and typewriter for the Association at $25.00 per month. She works from ten to fourteen hours per day. Now she desires to resign and I should like to get a stenographer to take her place. Have you one to offer? As to the article you quote, it is admitted that the women's exhibits were "truly creditable and that the school exhibits were par excellent. As to the agricultural exhibit this article claims that in this respect the Fair does not come up to last year. Here the article is partly in error. While we did not have as many agricultural exhibits from Bibb county as we had last year, yet we had more counties represented this year in agriculture than we had last year. In fact, the entire exhibit was more varied and better than last year. Yes, don't worry, everything is allright. A complete report of every penny will be made to the Board of Directors and the accounts will be properly audited by a committee of stockholders. Every stockholder will know just what has been done. I hope the public will understand that those who are complaining most are rarely stockholders, but in most cases are men who want to get "to handle the cash." We think when we receive the receipts from the railroads it will be seen that the Fair has been a greater financial success this year than last. It is true that the Georgia State College did not have at the Fair as large an exhibit this year as last for the simple reason that its exhibit was at Jamestown, where it has been awarded a medal for its excellency. As for the work of the school, it stands for itself. Our graduates measure up to the standard of the graduates of any other school in the state. All we ask, Mr. Editor, is honest criticism and fair play. In conclusion, permit me to say that I cannot hope to satisfy the sore-heads; they, as your correspondent alleges, will continue to grumble and be sore because they are not permitted to "handle the cash", for which they did not labor. The most of them own little or no stock in the Association, but are clamoring for the lion's share of the profits. Forty years and more have passed since the emancipation and yet they have organized no State Fair Association. I organized this-one and with the aid of my associates and assistants have succeeded in making it a success up to date. We have paid all debts and a dividend on all and we hope to do so again that we provided the soreheads do not get chance to "handle the cash". It true that I have worked hard, performing the duties of every position in the Association, but I have done so in order to have the cash to pay debts and dividends. If any of the soreheads can do as well, the door is open. The State is large. Nobody will prevent them from organizing and conducting an Association of their own, where they can handle all "the cash" they can get. Very truly, R. R. WRIGHT. GEORGIA TECH SUSPENDED. Crooked Playing Charged Against Football Team—Investigation Ordered, Professor E. T. Holmes, acting for the Southern Intercolegiate Athletic Association, suspended the Georgia School of Technology from further football playing, as members of the association at the conclusion of a long conference with President Matheson and Hon. N. E. Harris, president of the board of trustees, Monday afternoon in Macon. The deliberations were not too tranquil, as far as President Matheson and Professor Holmes were concerned, for the charges preferred against Tech involve the college president himself, Coach Helsman of the football squad and six players. Immediately following the suspension of Tech Professor Holmes called for a meeting of the executive committee of the association. The members are! Dr. W. L. Dudley of Vanderbilt, Professor W. M. Riggs of Clemson and Professor Holmes of Mercer. No dates was announced, but the meeting of the committee will be held before the Thanksgiving games are to be played, and the Georgia State University which was suspended last week, as well as Tech. will have opportunity to clear up the charges leading to suspension. Professor Holmse will then have opportunity to lay the responsibility for whatever action is taken at the feet of the full committee, instead of his own door. Professor Sanford of Georgia was in conference with Professor Holmes on Monday morning, and through him the complete charges against Tech were formulated. He brought affidavits, and, what he claimed to be absolute proof, of professionalism through the retention of men who were receiving money for becoming and remaining players at Tech! The principal charges arise out of the commission cards said to have been used for the benefit of the players. The charges against Tech's players were made by a University of Georgia man. MRS. BRADLEY ON STAND. Makes Public Statement Baring Her Life to Jurors. Mrs. Anna M. Bradley, the defendant in the trial now in progress in the criminal court in Washington, spent about four hours on the witness stand Tuesday relating the details of her acquaintanceship and intimacy with former United States Senator Brown, with whose murder she stands accused. The story dealt with the first acquaintance of Mrs. Bradley with Brown and told how that acquaintance gradually ripened into friendship and finally into love. It was a pathetic story full of illiteracy; affection; of promises of marriage which could at first be made only on the condition of divorce on both sides, and then of disappointment and grief when both became free and could have been legally united if Brown had been willing. Mrs. Bradley gave the particulars of many pledges made to her; told how Brown had introduced her as his wife, and of how he had given his name to one of their children, and also of how he had aided her in no less than three criminal operations.
