The truth is that capital is awakening
at q lively rate to the fact that the
natural resources of the south are al
most illimitable, and that there is
boundless wealth in the soil and un-
der the soil, that needs only energy,
enterprise and money TO make yield
fifty and a hundred fold. Let the
money question be once settled for
mood and all on a stable and enduring
basis, and the progress of the south
in recent years will be as nothing to
that il will be. No section OF the
country has brighter industrial
future before it..

The Chicago Times Herald says:
ssThe Atlanta Constitution in recent
editorial comments in terms of just
exultation over the continuing indus
trial progress Of the south. or that
progress the Times Herald has
frequently spoken, for there is scarcely
province of human industry that the
I southern people are not entering upon
with more or less success. In the
great manufacturing industries of iron
and cotton they are making marvellous
progress, bidding fair to rival If not
to outstrip the northern states in
these particular lines. while in the
lesser departments the increase is
quite az gratifying. The Constitu-
ton, quoting from the Chattanooga
Tradesman, gives q list Of 474 new
concerns that have been established
in the various states of the south dur
ing the months Of July. August and

A SHOT AT THE SENATE.
A Kentucky Orator Who Found the
Senate Zoo DeIiheratiXe.

A Kentucky Orator Who Found the
Senate Too DeIiberative.
A lot of Kentuckians were talking the
other evening about the great men Of
their state, say $ the Washington Star.
"One of the finest old gentlemen On
earth said distinguished man in the
group, lis Gen. John S. Williams, or
'Cerro Gordo, as he is popularity known,
and when | was in the senate gallery
the other day, listening to the solemuity
of things, | was reminded of the time
when Gen. Williams was Kentucky
representative in that distinguished
body. The general, as we all know in
Kentucky, is a spellbinder, and when he
turns his voice and his brilliant oratory
loose on the blue grass air it stirs things
up 40 feet below the ground and clean
up to the canopy of the heavens.
"When the general came to the senate
he had an idea that what was good in
Kentucky was good anywhere, so he
was ready at any time to let loose any
quantity of eloquence. He had oppOr-
tunity in plenty, as it happened, but the
result of his efforts was not satisfac-
tory. He kept on trying, but still it
wouldn't work, and one day the general
gave way in the cloal1room before a
dozen or more listeners.
"'Be CAD, suh,' he said, hotly, I
think it is a shame, suh that the gal
leries of this senate chamber are not al
lowed to applaud, sub. Why, sub, when
l make speech in Kentucky, sub, the
anDlaIISe is Sl1ch SIIh that, if the same
privileges were allowed in these gal
leries, sub, l would be able, sub, to lift
the roof right off of this magnificent
marble structure, sub. But as it is, sub,
the stupidity, the dignity and the
frigidity of this senate absolutely par

1t Aids in the Detection of Unwho1esome

Daniel Webster in the famous White
trial in Salem, Mass, years ago de-
clared that murder will out. This
maxim has been found applicable to
many other things besides murder.
Housewives know it to be true when
there is alum in baking powder. A
bitterness in the bread at once be-
trays the alum's presence. 1t can't
conceal it's true nature. The alum
bitterness Twill out, " and because it
will, physicians, who understand the
harmful effect OF alum on the system,
are at loss to know why people con-
tinue to buy baking powders containing
it. All baking powders sold for twenty
five cents and less contain alum. There
is surely no economy in using these
cheap powders. For pure cream of
tartar powder, as DR.. Prices was
shown to be at the Worlds fair, goes
so much farther and gives SO much
better results, there is no doubt of it's
being more economical in the long

REWARDED a FRIEND.
Governor of Missouri Remembers the
Man Who Once Saved His Life.


Man Who Once Saved His Life.
81 have appointed Jerome S. Barman
coal oil inspector of Springfield for a
term of two years" was the simple an
nouncement made by Gov. Stephens, of
Missouri, few days since to Il number
of newspaper reporters. Back of this,
however, is a story.
The new Inspector of the Queen City
Of the Ozarks" saved the governors life
once and is how rewarded by appoint
ment to a good office. Ii was rs years
ago, and the future governor and Bar
man were boys in the quiet, staid old
town of Boonville, Mo. They were like
other boys the world over, and one
warm Afternoon III June they played
hockey and went to battle in the cool
waters of a deep creek that flowed into
the Missouri river back of the Kemper
school. Stephens couldn't ''sWim Il
lick" and venturing into the water over
his head was in a fair way to drown,
when young Barman swan to his res
cue. After much difficulty he got his
unconscious burden to shore and re-
vived him.
Following the usual course of human
events, the ways Of the two boys di-
verged. One prospered in business and
politics, the other became a citizen of
Springfield, where he, too, was fairly
prosperous. When the time came that
there was a vacancy in the office to
which he was recently appointed, Bar
man applied for it, and the governor
without hesitation gave it to him.
''It is the only thing that he has ever
asked at my hands, said the governor,
land he is in every way worthy of it. -
