IN 1897 ordinary news printing pa
per sold for $33 per ton. Since then
the price has been advanced by the
trust which controls it to $55 per ton,
an increase Of $22 per ton, or 70 pei
cent. No wonder the newspapers OF
the country are opposed to trusts
The HERALD pays tribute of four
or five hundred dollars year to the
paper trust. Is it not strange thai
any political party fostering such
iniquities, can have respectable
following in free country?

EDUCATION does not always refine,
though that is its general tendency.
1t is impossible to make gentleman
out of boy who lacks the common
instincts of gentleman. This was
proven by the University students at
Ann Arbor, Mich, last week, when
they disgraced themselves and their
alma mater by rude Interruptions to
Mr.. Bryan, who was there to exer-
else the right of every free Ameri,
can citizen to speak upon the public
issues of the day. Such young hood
lums as these ought to live in an
Empire, and not be allowed to enjoy
the liberty and blessings of free
Republic.

AN INDEPENDENT RAILROAD.

We are sorry the Columbia Jour
nal sees a to discourage the new in
dependent railroad proposition from
Columbia to Milan, which the
HERALD and Mt. Pleasant Chronicle
have been trying to talk up; but con.
sidering the Journals affinity to the
l.. q NJ, we are not surprised. We
never expected that the proposition
would go through without objection
or criticism or sarcasm. Jere Baxter
met with the same sort OF proud
contumely from the friends of the
l.. q n. In Nashville. But Jtre Bax-
ter paid no attention to these critics.
He went straight ahead and built
The road without obtaining the con-
sent or asking the embrace OF any
other railroad corporation.
What Jere Baxter has done. Marry
county as people can do. Neither
the HERALD nor our COW rker. the
Chronicle, expects to build the rail-
road. We simply hope to interest
the people Of Maury county in the
enterprise, and persuade them to do
it, to the extent Of putting up the
earnest money that will induce
capitalists elsewhere to buy the
bonds.
However visionary we may be, we
hope the Journal will make an
honest effort TO understand us. Per-
haps we do not know anything about
railroads or railroad building. In
truth we do not. All we know about
this particular line is that an ex-
pert's testimony says it is the most
inviting field he has examined for
years, and that with little earnest
money upon the part of the people
along its way, to show their interest
and friendllness towards it, the
bonds can be easily foated.
The Journal may doubt our ability
or the feasibility of the proposition.
| That Is usually the first attack the
opposition makes. All we ask is
that the Journal does not misquote
the HERALD; for we do not like to
dispute or correct an esteemed con-
temporary.
The Journal says that the HERALD
objects to the Southern, the Mobile
& Ohio or the Illinois Central estab-
fishing their lines here. Not at all
But this line under discussion we
want as an Independent line.
The Journal says that mo public
aid or subscription shall be asked
for" The HERALD never said that
1t said no state aid would be asked.
The Journal says that "no appeal
will be made to eastern capitalists.
The HERALD said no appeals on the
ground of sympathy would be made
to eastern capitalists. That We
would 60 to them with business
proposition and offer them good in
vestment for their money.
The Journal could certainly have
understood the proposition better i
it had tried.
The figures our contemporary give
are larger than the figures made b!
the expert to whom we have re
ferred. If we ever succeed in or
ganizing and getting to work, we ar
promised some authentic figures no
quite so 'staggering' as the Journa
uses.
In conclusion, we hope the Jour
, nal will make good its promise no
to be an "obstructionist." If that i
, its honest intention, it should "abou'
face" now.

Whatever may be said Of the scien-

and weather, it is a remarkable fact
that specific warning Of every great
storm, food, cold wave and drouth,
have been plainly printed in bis now
famous Almanac for many years.
The latest startling proof Of this fact
was the destruction Of Galveston,
Texas, on the very day named by
Prof. Hicks in his 1900 Almanac, as
one Of disaster BY storm along the
gulf coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by
far the fiuest, most complete and
beautiful yet published, is now ready.

I should like to express through
these columns my satisfaction and
thorough appreciation of the musical
treat given Wednesday evening by
Edwin Vale Mcintyre of st. Louis
Each number of his generous pro-
gram was we'll chosen, his tecnique
perfect, his skill as performer, most
wounerful. The ease with which he
managed the registration and pedals
haYe never seen equaled and seldom
equaled, though I have worshipsd
in many of the finest city churches.
I thank those who were instruments
in bringing Mr.. Mcintyre to our
town. = - s.
The beautiful auditorium Of the
Presbyterian church was filed to
utmost seating capacity. Several
encores were given, and as a grand
finale "Our National Hymn" was
sung by the large assemblage. Mr.
Mcintyre departed for his nome on
the midnight train.
In the estimation. of the humble
undersigned, this was indeed the
'tinest musical treat ever given in
Worthington" such entertainments
are educating and elevating in the
extreme, and We shall hope TO hear
