A man passing in the street Tues day morn
ing saw Mitchell's printing establishment on

into the second floor before It was extin-

was in progress on the third floor. The two

day before and n number OF the neiGhbors
gathered In the rooms TO condole with the pa

The Price of
a Pedestal
By George Horace LOrimer

The heroes of our late
war have fallen into the
snare of success. They are
talking too much they are
telling how they did it."
They forget that statues on
pedestals are expected to hold
their peace; that they have no
right to talk, "The way of
the hero is hard. =. The price
of a pedestal is high ; few can
pay it. 1t is won with the
sword, and held with the
tongue"

Suords and
Scabbards
By William George Jordan

Between the real and the
sham of life the editor of the
Posi- draws keen distinctions
in a timely editorial. "The
scabbard represents outside
show, vanity, display the
sword, intrinsic worth. The
scabbard is the semblance; the
sword, the reality. The scab-
bard is the temporal the
sword, the eternal, The scab-
bard is the body the sword is
the soul" This point of view
is studied in all phases of life.

GEORGIA RAILROAD LEASE
The Atlantic Coast Line Secures Half
 Interest

Atlanta, Ga, September 6.-The Consti- tuition tomorrow will say:
 "The Atlantic Coast Line has secured half interest in the Georgia Railroad lease. On Tuesday the amour cement was made at the directors meeting of the Western Railway of Alabama. President Harry Walters, of the Coast Line, was elected a director of the Western. He is one of the Georgia's road representatives on the board.
 "H. M. Smith president of the Louisville and Nashville, retired from the board. The Louisville and Nashville has two rep- resentatives on the Westerns board. few weeks ago it was reported that the South ern had secured a half interest in the lease of the Georgia, but it seemed more prob- abl at that time that the Coast Line was the new owner in the lease.
 "rhere is no evidence that there will be any change in the management either of the Georgia or Western of Alabama. As the Georgia is a large owner of stock in the Atlanta and West Point, it is likely that MT. Walters will be elected a director of that road, too, at the annual meeting next week.

The gover- nor made this memorandum on the paper: "The pardon of this young boy, only 14 years old, is asked by the county officers and many good citizens. It is his first of- fense and l am persuaded the lesson he has received meets the end of justice. Let a pardon issue, and let him return with his father, who was good confederate sol- dier"
 Also Lewis Clark, convicted of grand larceny at the May term of the Bbb cir cult court, and sentenced to three years in the penitentiary. Pardon was refued In November, 1898. The memorandum on pa- pers is as follows: Tt now appears that this man, by reason of yellow fever pre- venting the holding of court, was held in jail nearly a year, and that recently his wife died and leaves five little children utterly destitute and helpless; for these reasons let a parole issue conditioned on his good behavior"

SEEKING INFORMATION
 ABOUT THE SOUTH
Northern Investors Becoming More Inter- ested Each Day in the Develop
 ment of This Section.

Immigration Commissioner M. w. Rich ards, of the Southern railway, with head quarters in Washington, is in Birmingham. MT Richards is one of the best informed railroad men in this country. He is also one of the most energetic, progressive, wide-awake and popular of all railroad of- fcals
 ''The business conditions and general out look of the territory served by the South ern railway are three times better than I have ever known them before," said MT Richards yesterday. "Everything of business nature is most promising The towns and cities are growing, farms are being greatly improved, trade and traffic are rapidly increasing, and we are entering upon new conditions which will be more prosperous than any we have yet exper- fenced.
 "Within year 2,0OO families from the north have settled along the lines of the Southern, and during the past month CT two l have received a greater number of inquiries from people who desire to come south than I have ever before received in similar length of time. These inquiries come from all classes of people, from oank- CTS and manufacturers to the laborer with out capital Lately have received letters from number of bankers in the north ask ing for information regarding towns where there are openings for the banking busi~ ness.
 "In Washington and on my trips north everybody I meet is anxious to talk about the south. We hear nothing but southern development and the south's natural wealth., they say, and then they demand information. My greatest pleasure is in complying with these demands. Really, the desire of northern investors for accurate information about the south is remarkable The tide of investment and immigration has unmistakably turned southward, and one of the most hopeful signs of the times is that southerners no longer leave home in search of a better country, the old phrase ran, but are convinced that they have already the best country. The South ern railway will continue to do all 1t can to foster and encourage that spirit of vestment and emigration as regards the south now so apparent in the north.
 "There is no question now that the south has caught the full spirit of mineral de- velopment and manufacturing enterprise, and the improvement of the farms has be- gun. There will Joe great change for the better in the agricultural condition of the south within the next few years There will be radical changes in methods on the farm, and these changes will make for the enrichment of all the southern states.
 'As for Birmingham, it's hustle, activity, and growth in business and popula- tion are remarkable. I notice a great im- provement even since I was last here lew weeks ago. The crowds on the streets are so great as to astonish any visitor"

INVESTIGATING
 THE OIL TRUST
The Industrial Commission Meets
 in Washington.
BOYLE DEFENDS STANDARD
Declares That Rockefeller's Company is Not the Ootupus That the Peo- pie Beheve-Ras Reduced
 the Price of Oil


 Washington, September 6.-The industrial commission resumed its sittings in this city today. P. c. Boyle, editor of the oil City Derrick, which he said was the organ of the oil producers generally, read pre- pared statement of great length. It was a general review of the history of oil pro- duetion in tn United States. Mir. Boyle gave history of the construction of the various pipe lines connected with the oil industry for the purpose, he said, of show ing how consolidation was ultimately req ched.
 By 1870 competition had become sharp that the pipe lines were not able to sus- tain themselves, so they consolidated under the name of the United Pipe Line com pany, with capital of $30O0lO0O which was part of the Standard oil company system. There had been a constant in- crease of production soon after this con- selidation until 1885, when there was daily production of S2, GOO barrels, with the neces- sary result of rapid decline in prices. This condition caused the organization of the Producers Protective association which is in existence today. This ergani- ton was separate from the Standard oil
 
 it. As result of this consolidation, crude oil advanced 29 cents per barrel. There had, however, not been a corresponding in- crease in the price of the refined oil.
 MT. Boyle said that while he had heard great deal of the reduction of prices by the Standard Oil company, to destroy compe- ttion, he knew nothing of any such prac- tce. He said since 1870 the production of oil increased 400 per cent, while the price had Appreciated 75 per cent.
 Speaking of the Pure Oil company MT. Boyle said 1t had become a veritable trust, being in reality the only oil trust. It was, said. far more seoretive in its methods than the Standard. Mir. Boyle reflected rather severely upon the independent companies. He will continue his statement tomorrow.

The extent of the disaffection is not known here, though it is said that ever since the last election there have been mutterings on the part of the defeated candidate and his friends.
 Mr. Pulido, charge d'affares of the Ven ezuelan legation, says he has received no information from bis government as to new outbreak The last information was to the effect that the revolutionists in Los Andos province have been defeated and scattered and that their leader, General Castro, was wandering in the mountains.
