Col. HOIman's Speech at Mem
phis.

Col. d. w. Holman of Fayetteville
was made President of the Memphis &
Knoxville Railroad convention recently
held In Memphis. His speech is re-
ported in the Memphis appeal, and is
mostly devoted to showing how much
Memphis would be benefited by the
building Of this road. He seems to have
made a profound impression, for the
merchants and other citizens of Mem
phis assembled in large numbers deter
mined to raise all the means necessary
(and asked for by Gen. Nicely, Presi-
dent of the M, & X. r. r. Co.. to put
the road under contract in Shelby coun-
ty. It was q most enthusiastic conven-
ton, as appears from the accounts pub
lished in the Memphis papers. Col.
Holman said this road would give the
people in this part of the State the ben
eft of two markets-Nashville and
Memphis. We could bring our corn,
grain and live stock TO Memphis and
West Tennessee and find a ready market
for them. In conclusion, the Appeal
says: "He made many other interest
ing remarks for which we have not
space. This speech was well received
and he was frequently applauded. H'
won golden opinions from all our peo'
pie"

WHAT FUTURE HARvEYs & JENNERs
MUST DISCovER-Dr. John MOrris In a
paper on scarletina concludes: "a few
words in regard to incubation, a subject
which has been recently discussed.
Although as yet no agent has been dis
covered to TlOdify the poison of scarlet
fever or rob it of its malignant attFib-
utes, we have no doubt that such does
exist and will be discovered in our own
day" Surely smallpox and fever and
ague cannot be the only diseases in
which a preventive is possible. Some
where in nature there must exist the
natural antidOte or the natural an
tagonistic elements of nearly, If not
quite, ali our maladies. They will be
stumbled upon by chance one by one.
At present some of the slightest fevers
puzzle science. What can be more am
pie, 20 all appearances, than cold in the
head. 1t develops gradually; It can be
reached; It is not violent: yet, with a
thousand remedies, there is not one
cure. 1t Is too tritling a thing to en-
gage the physicians attention. He who
discovers the perfect cure for catarrh
Will not be far behind his rival who dis
covers the perfect cure for scarlet fever,
The one kills quite as many persons as
the other.

THE VALUL. OF MoNEY-The island
of Manhattan on which New York city
now stands, was bought by the Dutch
from the Indians in 1926 for the trifiing
sum of $25. The assessed value of wealth
on the island in 1873 is about $500, OOO,-
600, the real value is not less than$2 y0O0,-
0O0, 900, and may be even double this.
OF course it will be said that the Dutch
made a good investment of their $25,
and no doubt they did. But if that
$25 had been put out at interest at ten
per cent. on the first of October, 1926,
and the interest itself annually invest
ed at ten per cent. also the product on
the first of October, 1872, would have
been $26, $50, I79, 962-or more than
twenty six thousand millions. This is
three hundred times as great as the as
sessed value of property in New York,
and nearly as great as the estimated
value of all the property in the United
States.

AIR-rIGHT-Dr. Lewis writes: Dur
ing a recent visit to friends in Western
New York and Michigan, was struck,
and not little panied, at their method
of heating their houses. Surely person
like myself, accustomed to the atmOs-
phere of sleeping-cars, and visiting much
in houses heated by furnaces, is not
likely to be particularly sensitive; but
the atmosphere In the houses of my
Western friends was too much for me.
How they could stand It was a mystery
20 me. They were, TO be sure, red-eyed,
and sometimes liYid-eheeked and dull in
thought, but how they could gather
about great air-tight stove, with shut
draft, tight windows and doors, and sit
for two or three hours in an atmosphere
of seventy-fiYe to eighty degrees, with
ont any change of air, is to me simply
uncomfortable. But then / must not for
get that men saturate themselves with
tobacco, and keep it up just for the
good of IL.
Congestion of the head, neuralgia,
susceptibility to colds, and numberless
cases of bronchitis and consumption,
come from alright stoves. They are
among our worst enemies to health.
An open fire is number one among
house blessings.

The Washington correspondent of the

earnest infiatiOnist, sums up the con-
sequences of Grants veto of the Senate
financial bill as follows:
81. The certain failure of Senate bill
to become a law.

measure, such as the two bills passed
by the House of Representatives, one
legalizing the $4OO, COZ, 900 of gFeenback

A selfih rich man is worth no more
TO a community, than a loafer. He is a
check, in fact, upon the growth and
prosperity of a city. He opposes all
the public enterprises, Expresses the
poor, when in his power, and boards
his money instead of using it TO the adj
vancement of the public good. He will
sneak around and read the papers with
out paying for them, and win then abuse
the editor for advocating any measure
not exactly suited to his interest. In
short, he is a nuisance and should be so
regarded and looked upon by liberal
minded citizens.
