Fate of the Confederate Seal.

"The result of the last Confederate
council, South Carolina in May 1865,
was soon known all over Abbevi!le,
and the Generals and the Secretary of
Wal were kept busy for hours signing
honorable discharges for the tired
soldiers, who Immediately applied for
them" writes Mrs. Thaddeus Horton,
in the October Home journal. Our
ing the evening Mr.. Benjamin asked
for a Ratchet, and With it he defaced
the Confederate seal. About twelve
o'clock the same night the C~onfeder-
ate party continued their retreat in
the direction of Washington, Georgia,
and while crossing the Savannah river
in the darkness some one suggested
that the seal be thrown overheard.
This idea was at once approved, and
when the boat reached midstream it
was dropped with a dull splash into
the sandy river bed of that beautiful
Southern intercourse, where to this
day, its mission all fulfilled, it serene.

Barred by Relationship.

State Superintendent Whitfield has
delivered an important ruling on the
statute making it unlawful for a trus.
tee to vote for any person related to
him by blood or marriage within the
third degree. His decision, which is
based on the civil law from which our
statute on descent and distribution is
derived, makes the first cousin the d.
viding line. Trustees are not permit
ted to vote for their first cousins as
teachers or for any person bearing a
closer relationship, Beyond this de-
gree the exclusion does not operate.
Children, grandchildren, nieces, neph-
ews, uncles and aunts all come within
the forbidding section. County super
intendents are often called upon to
pass Judgment on some application of
this act and the opinion of the State
Superintendent will serve to solve
these difficulties. The time for
the eIFttion of teachers by the trus
tees viii expire October Is.

"Mrs. Bryan is a woman of action
a successful woman" says Harper's
Bazaar. ''She has been admitted to the
bar-a full-fedged lawyer. She is in.
terested in the reforms in which her
sex take today the lnitiatiye; she is a
club woman; she is a student whose
mind is a storehouse of information
on all subjects that pertain to her
husbands duties and ambitions. 1t
was said that the speech in Congress
which first brought Mr.. Bryan into
national prominence was written by
his wife. She is emineutly able to
have done so, and the rumor doubtless
arose from the fact that she does as
sist her husband in his work. Yet,
with all the rest, Mrs. Bryan is versed
10 domestic arts and sciences-a good
housekeeper and a good mother. She
is a rare instance Of the logically i'm.
possible woman who accomplishes a
mans success at no expense to her

Senator Joe Bailey, Of Texas, who
owns a fine stock farm in the vicinity
of Lexington, KY, has bet $l5,0 900
trotting horses that Bryan will be the
next president Of the United States.
The bet was made with Mr.. L. II.
Asher, the proprietor of the High
land Stock Farm, and a very wealthy
man. The bet grew out OF a discus
sion Of the political situation at the
Phoenix Hotel. Mr.. Bailey says that
he is morally sure that he will win the
bet as he regards the election of Bryan
as a CinCh.

AUDITOR W. Q. COLE COMPLETES

Which Shows a steady Increase in the

The privilege TAX report, Just com
pleted by Hon. w. Q. Cole, the pains
taking and thoroughly capable auditor
OF public accounts, for the fiscal year
ending Sept. 30, show an increased
and steady growth of industry in the
commonwealth. This means OF course,
more revenue to the State, which, like
the increase of the industries from
which it is derived, must be crafty
ing to all Mississippians.
The total revenues derived from all
privilege tax turned in by the sheriffs
is 1929, 1871 50, against 1907, $40 last
year. The privilege license fees paid
direct to the State treasury are not
embraced in this statement, and will
amount to something like 5000
more.
THIS report also contains data per.
tanning TO the revenue which comes to
the State from saloons. There now
remain only thirteen counties which
license, the liqnor business, namely:
Adams, Hancock, Harrison, lssaquen-
ma, jackson, jefferson, Madison, Mon
roe, Quitman, Tunica, Warren and
Wilkinson. Tallahatchie recently
wheeled into the dry column. There
are now LAG saloons in the State, and
they paid in taxes last year S131, 100.
The county OF Warren alone has
t~hirty-seven saloons and paid in
whisky licence 1876, 800. Washington
came next, turning in $2S,S 800 with
thirty.three saloons. Adams, with
ten saloons, contributed $19, 200. There
are eleven wholesale liquor houses
which do not sell i%nquanties less than
a gallon. The municipalities are EN-
powered to levy a tax on dram shops
not to exceed so per cent. of the
amount collected by the State, and in
some Of the towns and cities the maxi
mum penalty is denounced against
them.
The timber business In the auditors
statement also makes a promising
showing. There are 220 licensed saw
mills in the State against POP last
year. The cotton seed oil mills have
increased from twenty-eisht to forty
one.
Several new items Of revenue pro.
vided for by the last Legislature are
contained in the report, such as steam
laundries, timber buying agents and
oil depots. Twenty-one of the latter
have been reported to the auditor.

A Warm Sermon On Trusts.


Rev. DIR. Ward Gamble is the pastor
OF the Methodist church at Vineland,
N. j., and in a sermon delivered last
Sunday made a bitter attack on the
trusts the majority OF which are in
cOrporated under the laws Of New
Jersey. One Of his sensational re-
marks was that Hanging is too good
for a trust magnate." He declared,
and quite truthfully, that the mon
strous growtho OF combinations OF capt.
tai for the prevention OF competition
was fast undermining this republic,
and bringing the people to a condition
of chattel slavery, and he urged the
voters OF the country to rise in their
might and smash the trusts before it
is too late. In the course Of his SER
non he said:
when four or five men get together
and place the price upon labor for pro-
ducing the necessities Of life and then
dictate the selling price OF the finish.
ed production it is a most wicked con.
spiracy against the welfare of humani.
ty, and no punishment is too severe
for the s%coundrels.
II say that hanging is too good fOr
the trust magnate that stands rn q
mountain of coal in PENNSYLVANIA that
God meant for the benefit of all his
children, pays starving wages to the
miners who risk their lives to 60 into
the bowels of the earth and then die
tates the price Oh coal so that it robs
all the people and causes untold suf-
fering among the poor for. the want of
fuel.
81 say, with full realization Of my
utterances and with my blood running
warm when | think of it, that hang
ing is too good a punishment for such
a man.
Witness the dcplorable situation
of applying like a fawning supplicant
to n man in Wall street, as was
done a few days ago, to stop a strike
of such large proportions that it be-
comes of national Importance. Yet
such is the present situation. If one
mar has the power over railroads and
trusts to stop a strike OF magnitude,
he has the power to bring on a strike
of such gigantic proportions by rob-
bling and starving the workmen.
81 have been to the anthracite coal
region of Pennsylvania and investi-
gated the conditions which brought
on the STRIKE" said DR.. Gamble in
conclusion, land when l say that the
miners are paid starving wages and
treated more like dumb brutes than
