tertainers a large attendance Is expected.

gramme for Bethany Assembly closing day,

address of William Jennings Bryan The
closing day has usually been given over
to a farewell service, but it is generally
expected to be one of the biggest days this
year.

lucky against Curtis Jet and Thomas
White. charged with the assassination ~
Thomas b. Marcum. on May 4 last. each
side rested its case this afternoon. The
commonwealth rested at 4 o'clock and The
defense. after a consultation. announced AZ
4:3O O'Clock that il was through with its
side Of the case. Judge Osborn then an
nounced that arguments will begin to-
morrow morning and Immediately adj.
journed court. Before the gum begin
instructions will be given the jury.
Eight will be made, four ON
each side. Messrs. j. /. Blanton. W. T. Laf-
ferty, B. b. Golden and James D Black
will speak for the defense. and Thomas ID.
Marcum, brother of the dead man. and a
criminal lawyer of note in Muscogee. L. T.,
n County Attorney j. Stanley Webster,
Col. A. +. Byrd and Commonwealth Attor-
ney Fryer will address the jury for the
prosecution.
To-day was entirely taken UP in intro
ducing witnesses in rebuttal by both sides,
and at times very acrimonious debates We're
had by the opposing counsel on disputed
points at law. Progress therefore was
much delayed. Robert Davidson. Abner
Eversole, James b. Little, Abe Short. L. I.
Bolin, Robert Fulkerson, Hardin Childers,
Wiley H Combs. N. B. Combs. J. H. Blan-
ton and Nj. Forbes, witnesses for rebuttal
on defense, testified TO the good character
and truthfulness of b. j. Even. the lead
ing witness for the defense and the only
one who testified that he saw the man
who fired the shot that killed Marcum.
They were rigidly cross-examined, but stood
their examination well.
Joe Moore was placed on the stand by
the defense to prove that on the morning
OF the killing Jett was holding his hand in
such a manner TO his front side as TO indi-
cate that the right hand was crippled. One
of the claims of the defense is that Jett's
hand was so crippled by being mashed by
a log a few weeks previous to the murder
that il was impossible for him TO use a pis-
toll. Judge James III. Hargis was placed on
the stand to rebut evidence introduced
against him by the defense, whose witness.
G.. III. Bowling. testified to seeing Hargis
in his private office on the Sunday before
the killing, talking to some men.

District Attorney Jerome's gloomy view
that the world has become "a world of
graft at least in the United States, is.
New York, for one thing, and, for another,
he is engaged in a line of work that brings
him in constant contact with that sort OF
thing. Mr.. Folk, in a speech a few days
ago, expressed nearly the same view, but 1t
is to be remembered that he also is devoting
his whole attention to this one subject, and
it would be strange If his view was not
somewhat distorted. Yet even the dullest
observer of social and political and indus
trial life must admit that the spirit of
commercialism appears to be submerging
American ideals and rubbing out moral
lines to a degree that is alarming. 1t really
matters little how a man has made his
money. If he has not recently kept a dis
orderly saloon or been under arrest on
some criminal charge, or is not personally
offensive in manners, his social status is
quite apt to be measured by his bank ac-
count. The fact that he has been a briber
of public officers does not make any par
ticular difference if he be able to enter
tain well and his family be an agreeable
one.
In industrial and commercial life one may
note the tendency to judge methods and
men by the single standard of financial
success. The fact that a newspaper is
guided by the sole aim Of making money
does not seem to hurt it's status; the fact
that a contractor shares profits or gives a
rake off, to the architect or engineer or
public officer letting the contract does not
initiate against him in business; the fact
| hat a store uses catch-all devices to allure
trade does not hurt it's standing in the
trade; the fact that a big corporation takes
an utterly unfair advantage Of competi-
| tors in any way it can is likely to be spoken
of as smart business" and there are
very few concerns that will discipline a
| salesman for bribing his way to a big sale.
While this spirit rules in social and COM
mercial life it is almost useless to expect a
higher grade of morality in political life,
| for it is but a reflection of the everyday
life of the people. The thing that is most
needed in America to-day is more of the
preaching President Roosevelt is so fond
of doing on individual honesty and con-
| science. 1t should be put forth from the
| pulpit, from the rostrum, in the newspaper,
and through every possible channel that
can gain attention. We cannot nave one set
| of morals for our political affairs and an
other for private business and social rela-
tons.

For the first time in weeks something ap-

Sales of pig iron have been the heaviest
since the spring. some of this being for the
last quarter of the year and some for next
years delivery. Other large orders impend.
Shoe manufacturers are doing a large bust
