a Transfer of Business

Chicago, August board OF trade
and business circles generally were
Startled today by the announcement
that the George H. Phillips Company,
which became famous through its pool
Operations in the Chicago corn pit dur
ing the past year, has transferred all
its open trades to McReynolds & Co.
1t was at first rurnored hat a large
l~defalcation had been discovered in an
examination of the books, but this
proved untrue, having its only founda-
ton in the fact that one of the head
lb~ookkeepers was confined to his home
by illness.
| Lack Of facilities for. the proper clerI-
lcal needs OF the concern, which had ac-
tquired an enormous commission trade.
was, according to a statement given
1.-THE Associated Press by Attorney John
is. Goodwin, who as a representative OF
the law firm Of Black & Goodwin, has
taken charge of the company's affairs.
the cause of temporarily suspending
business.
The tangled condition of the books be-
lcame apparent some time ago, when
the board Of trade directors ruled that
1.-THE Phillips Company should furnish to
leach member of the May corn pool a
detailed account of the entire transac-
ton. A large force was then put to
work on the books and in their efforts
to disentangle the multitudinous trades
it became apparent that every trade on
the company's books since November
1900 would have to be worked over, en-
failing an enormous amount of work.
AS the firms bushes kept increasing
at a remarkable rate, the machinery OF
the house was found inadequate, and At
midnight on July 31st it was decided TO
lsimply transfer all trades and for the
time being throw the business of the
house into other hands until a com =
lplete new set of books shall have been
compiled.
Mr.. Phillips, while regretting h ne
cessity of this action. said it was alb
lsolutely the only course open to him.
This does not mean we are quitting
business he said. ION the contrary,
we shall execute all orders. but Will
have to ask that usual margins accom-
pany all orders until u books are
checked over"

things and all southern people must be
proud Of its progress. We desire to see
North Carolina lead if she can in manu-

great farming interests and the press

Oil on Troubled Waters

To pour oil OF troubled waters is an
admonition which every sovereign re-
ceives at the threshold of Improved
and Perfected Woodcraft. AS a figure
os speech it means to sooth the trou-
bled spirit. "a soft answer turneth
away wrath"
AS a physical fact, Professor Hors-
ford by emptying a vial of oil upon the
sea in a stiff breeze, did actually still
the ruff1ed surface. Commodore Wilkes
of the United States navy, saw the
same effect produced in a violent storm
off Cape Of o Hope several years
ago by oil leaking from a whale ship.
The origin of the phrase is said to be
when mentioned by the Venerable
Bede in his Ecclesiastical history writ
ten in Latin in 1876. Stapleton trans
lated the book in 1865. ST Aidan, it ap-
pears, gave his blessing to a young
priest who was to set out by land but
return by water, to convoy a young
maiden destined for the bride of King
Oswin or Oswy. st. Aidan gave the
young man a cruise Of oil to pour on
the sea if the wave became stormy.
A storm did arise and the young priest.
pouring oil on the waves, did actually
reduce them to a calm. Bede says he
had the story from "a most creditable
man in Holy Orders"
St. Aidan died in 694 and Bede died
in 135. There is no question in rchae
ology so often asked to be explained as
this.

RIVALRY AND PROGRFSS.

Generous rivalry is pleasant and
c-ommendable. The Messenger has Of

the south, and particularly of North
Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.
1t has often state that South Caro-
lima led much in looms and spindles
and investment. While other states
lead in other important things it is
South Cardinals good fortune to lead
in cotton manufacturing. The south
is doing bravely in many directions,
while sorrowfully behind in some i'm
portant products. The Textile World,
of New York, publishes statistics as TO
these three states. giving the years. In
