THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.
An Inseparable Factor from Forces That Make Up Our Civilization.

AIiantA ConstlLutlon.
 A few days ago Col Alexander K. Mo- Clure, the veteran editor and nestor of The Philadelphia Press. said that the happiest days of his journalistic career were those in which he was "the editor of a country weekly in Western Penn sylvania."
 There are thousands of the older men In the profession today who can heartily say ''Amen!'' to Colonel McClure'B ex- perience. They remember those joyous days in some ramshackle print shop in a country town; the old Washington press; the roller boy: the roller mould and the casting of a new roller; the sit- ting up at night to mail the edition of 600-that 600 more formidable over public affairs and world interests than the charge made at Balaklava by that other 600 of old England! The country editor who Is his peer He writes and the peo- pie hardly contain their patience a week to know what he has wrote'' on the burning issues of the day! He gets invi- tations to all functions, free passes to all shows, appointed on all sorts of commis- sions where there is no pay. gets cake from the wedding, cord wood for subscrip- tons, occasionally gets 1t in the neck" from a contemporary.
 The country press Is an inseparable factor from the forces that make up our ClVllzatiOn. IL IS on ana OI the SOll. IL is the mirror of the human problems of it's environment It is more nearly the organ of public opini al than the man. moth journals, whose strongest purposes are commercial.
 Any historian who would write know ingly and truthfully the history of these times must get the bulk ol his material from the country newspapers. They are the busy bees who gather the pollen of all the indigenous blossoms of their hab- fiat and compress these into the columns from which the honey of true human hls- tory is extracted.
 Every community owes the prime duty of support to its local press. If man can afford to take only one paper he should take his home paper. If he can go further and take daily, let that be but the supplement to his county paper. The old Greek adage. know myself" should be expanded into know thy neigh bors," and the way to do that is to sup port your home paper. There is no better or more helpful asset to any county than a good newspaper, filled with neighbor- hood news, and dealing with all Issues of common interest as the weekly press usu- ally does-fairly and honestly

But. whatever its cause. the vision of an apparently sedate young woman. who, upon lifting her skirts to enter a cab or at a muddy crossing reveals a pair of embroidered socks and an inch of pink flesh encircled by a white or black silk garter, Is certainly calculated to excite comment.
 When a Fifth Avenue hosier was asked i m women really are wearing socks, he said emphaticalIy: Yes, indeed. They are fad which reached New York from Paris late last year, and some women took it up at once, but it did not become Ageneral in society until within the last two months.

Atlanta, Ga., July 1, 1908. To all Compilers of Confederate Records
 The officers designated by the Cover nors of Southern States to cooperate with General Ainsworth, Chief of Record and Pension Office, in securing complete ros- ters of the officers and enlisted men of the Union and Confederate armies, in the war between the States are invited to meet in the State Library in the city of Atlanta. at 10 o'clock on Monday, the 10th of July, for the purpose of conferr- ing and agreeing on some uniform plan of procedure in the prosecution of their work. The most absolute accuracy pos sibfe in the compilation and publication of these rosters is desirable, to the end that no injustice be done any soldier of the South. The name, and a brief his- tory of every officer and man who was in the Confederate army and navy should appear in the rosters to be published by the Secretary of War at Washington, and the name of every imposter should be excluded.
 Owing to the loss or destruction of many of the original rosters during the progress and since the close of the war, our task Is difflcult: and unless extraor- dinary effort is made to establish correct copies of lost rolls, and to perfect im- perfect ones now in existence, the publi- cation to be made will possess but little value. and will do injustice to many gall lant soldiers. Hence the undersigned, de- signated by the Governors of their re- spective States to cooperate with Gen. eral Ainsworth in his important work, realizing the importance of concert of action, to the end that satisfactory re- suits may be reached. earnestly invite their co-workers in the other Southern States to meet for conference and inter- change of ideas. at the time and place named above.

A BIT OF HISTORY.
How the La Plata Provinces Were
 Lost to England Forever.

'Buenos Aires" in July St. Nicholas.
 Buenos Aires. meaning good airs or ''healthful winds" was named by an old Spanish explorer and fIeebooter, Pedro de Mendoza, who founded the city in the year 1535. The wind blowing in from the pampas was certainly good. but not so the fiat swampy piece of ground that he selected for town. Yet the little set clement grew. despite Its surroundings despite the lack of harbor. despite cen tury of Indian wars and over two and a half centuries of Spanish misrule. It grew and prospered until. in 17T6-an easy date for you to remember-it became the capital of the great Spanish vIceroyalty of La Plata which comprised what Is now Argentina. Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay Just one hundred years ago Buenos Aires's population had reached fifty thousand. which seems quite re- markable when one considers the vexa-

COMMISSIONER ". Q. COLE
At Loss How to Proceed TO Frame
Bill Which Will Get Rid of Anti
Compact Clause.

Special to the Daily Progress.
jackson, Dec. o. Insurance Com
missioner Cole is little at loss
how to frame bill which will get
rid Of the anti-compact clause of the
insurance laws. The anti-compact
clause is greatl. objected to by the
people and all are unity in demand
ing its repeal. but whether it can be
repealed or not and the Son thwestern
Tariff Association allowed TO operate
in the state, is an Important question.
If the insurance is held to be a
commodity, an article of commerce.,
then the near repeal of the antitrust
law would not allow the Southwest
ern Tariff Association the privilege
of working in Mississippi, as the
trust laws of the state would prev ent
its operation. Judge Whitfield has
stated in an opinion that insurance
| is an article of commerce although
his question has never been decided
by the supreme court of Mississippi.
Auditor Cole holds that insurance
is not an article of commerce, and
this view is upheld by the supreme
court of the United States.
