Best WAY of Help.

The Republicans in the House who
favor relief for Cuba and also believe
in protection, have, it appears, laid
down their ultimatum. They stand by
the principle of the Tawney amend
ment. They oppose any reduction in
the sugar tariff, but will help the
actual planters by granting them a
stated rebate. This takes the matter
out of the hands Of the sugar trust,
and gives whatever is to be conceded
direct to the producer of the sugar.
1t is undoubted that this is the best
way of help, and it should carry, II
there is to be any concession at all.
But Cuba, from all accounts, is in bet
ter industrial and financial condition
right now than ever she was in ali her
history.-Salt Lake City Tribune.

HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER Il
MADE.

Tho Health Department of New
York has seized quantity of so-called
cheap baking powder, which it found
in that city. Attention was attracted
to it by the low price at which 1t was
being sold in the department stores
Samples were taken and the chemist
OF the Health Department reported
the stuff to be IAN alum powder"
which analysis showed to be compos-
ed chiefly of alum and pulverized
rock.
The powder was declared to be dan
gerous to health, and several thou
sand pounds were carted TO the offal
dock and destroyed 1t is unsafe to
experiment with these so-called
"cheap" articles Of food. They are
sure to be made from alum, rock, or
other injurious matter. In baking
powders. the high class cream Of tar
tar brands are the most economical,
because they go farther in use and are
healthful beyond question.

perience the other evening. They were
riding along on smooth asphalt, when,
in crossing the shadows of some trees,
as they thought, all were thrown vio-
lently to the ground They felt soft,
gummy substance covering the pave
ment, which held fast their clothing
and hands. After some effort the men
tore themselves loose They had rid

There is no sentiment in trade, and
foreigners do not buy of us simply be-
cause we buy of them. That is amply
demonstrated by our trade with South
America. Brazil imports over $780,
100000 worth and the United States
supplies about 10 per cent of those
imports. The United States buys from
Brazil FIVE times as much as it sells
to that country, and it carries on a
onc-sided trade of that kind with
other South American countries

Dessert Service of Napoleon.

The historic dessert service which
was to have figured at banquet in
Brussels by which Napoleon had hoped
to celebrate victory over the allied
forces was recently sold in Brussels
for the sum of $1,000 The strange
part of it all is that so valuable serv-
ice should have been held in Brussels
so long at so low price.

There is a warm controversy going

there are persons in this land OF
democracy who will swell with pride
at this admission from the old world
that we can have an aristocracy.

Friend. and Enemies in Accord.


For the first time in nearly five
years the Republican party represent
tatives in Congress have been called
upon to vote on the question, Shall
the Dingley tariff be sustained? In
order to secure an affirmative answer
to this question these Republicans
have been compelled to rely upon the
assistance of their political adver-
saries. With the aid of free-trade
Democratic votes these Republicans
have succeeded in attacking and I'M
dermining the principle and policy of
protection to American labor and in
dustry. Is not this a strange position
Of affairs, that Republican measure
should be assailed by it's friends and
it's assassination accomplished by the
aid of its enemies? 1t is done under
the plea that we owe something TO
Cuba. A monstrous debt, indeed, that
requires such payment!

The Virginia Tennessee Phosphate
Company and j. e. r. Carpenter, for
the use of the same company, filed q
bill in the Chancery Court of David
son county Thursday against J. T.
Andre, Mottu & Cornelius De Witt.
of Norfolk, Va. The complainant
CARPENTER states that he and the de-
PENDANTS in May, 1909, organized the
Virginia Tennessee Phosphate Com
pany with a capital stock of $3.50, OOO.
In consideration of the transfer OF
lands to the company the parties be.
came owners of 1920, 900 worth Of
stock and 800, 600 worth Of bonds. In
addition to this Carpenter was to sub
scribe to 80. 900 worth of cash stock
and the defendants to 81, 500 each, but
IN consideration of the bonded inter
est that the complainant put in, the
defendants were to pay for his sub
scription of 50, 900 and the $6, 600 sub.
scribed in cash was to be used as a
working capital. The complainant
says that this money has not been
maid in and the suit is for the purpose
of collecting it. The defendants, he
saws, have failed to pay over the
money because of some personal disa-
greement about the disposition of the
bonds.

MAURY FOUNTAINS
Will Ask the Government for $l4, 900
for Property Destroyed.

The heirs of the late ]. H. Hughey
of Maury county. are getting up evil
dence preparatory TO filing a claim
against the government for property
destroyed by the Federal army. durlng
the civil war.
Mr.. Hughey was prominent mill
man; possessing extensive property
about five miles north Uf Columbia.
Part of Rosencran' army camped
about his mill. and although Mr..
Hughey had taken the oath OF allegi-
ance to the Federal government, his
property was not spared and protected
as il could have been and should have
been. The federal soldiers burned
about s.. 900 worth of lumber for him,
and seized about 81. 600 worth OF grain
and provisions; and just before the
soldiers moved away, one OF them
asked Mr. Hughey's 14-year-old daugh-
ter for lighted chunk from the fire /;
and she, thinking the man wanted to
light his pipe. handed him the
chunk. He deliberately walked out.
before the eyes of the family, and set
fire to the valuable mill, burning it
TO the ground. The then 14-year-olo
daughter is now Mrs. L. B. Brazier,
who lives north of Columbia
Recent Southern claims by Congress,
have lea the Hughey heirs to believe
that theirs will be allowed. so it will
be filed as soon as proper evidence Is
secured. The total amount OF the
claim will be $14, 900.

RUNAWAY MONKEY.
Hid in Old Trousers Pocket for Over
Two Weeks.
philadelphia Ledger

philadelphia Ledger)
ebony" the dwarf monkey of the
Zoo and the special pet of its Keeper,
Murray, was found yesterday morning
in the pockets of an old pair OF
trousers. where it had been hiding for
two weeks.
When Tony disappeared search
was made high and low, and every
thing in the mammal house was turned
upside down, but all to no good. IL
was then accepted that Tony had es-
capped, and Murray's only consolation
was the hope that he would get home
SICK and return voluntarily.
While the keeper was under a strain
of anxiety for his pet everything In
the mammal house seemed to go wrong.
Bananas were stolen. tidbits dlsap-
peared, and bottles fell over at night
and were found broken in the morn
ing. Tony's ghost seemed to haunt
the place at nightly hours.
At daybreak yesterday morning
Keeper Murray started on an investl-
CATION of the nightly thefts. Every
nook and corner was searched, and at
last Murray thrust his hand into his
clothes locker to satisfy himself that
nobody was hiding therein. One by one
every garment was taken out and
shaken. In handling an old pair OF
trousers Murray saw something bulky
in the pocket. Putting his hand In
the keeper felt something soft ana
warm. 1t was Tony, sound asleep
after his nights adventure.
