GERMANY IS TIRED OF O|L MONOPOLY Reichstag Takes Fall Out of
 Standard Oil Company PROPOSE A HEAVIER DUlY Would Place a DifferentiaI on Refined Petroleum as Against crude-To
 Distinguish Would Be Rather
 Difficult Proposition.
PROPOSE A HEAVIER DUTY

Berlin, January 14.-The reichstag to- day adopted resolution asking the gov ernment to consider whether 1t Is not in the interests of the nation to place a dli- ferential duty on refined petroleum as against crude. The resolution is directed against the Standard oil company. For eign Under Secretary Baron Fischer said he hoped the house would not bother the government with such proposition. The levying of duty on refined oil would be exceedingly difficult owing to the uncer- tain definition of crude and refined petroleum.
 Herr Freze moderate radical of Ere men, defended the Standard oil company. He said petroleum had become cheaper since it's organization than ever before. This was not owing to philanthropy, but was due to the desire to avoid competi- tion and adverse legislation.
 Time to Get Rid of Monopoly.
 Dr. Paasche national liberal, said he thought 1t was time to get rid of the Standard oil companys monopoly, which had already cost Germany $l2,5OOOOO be- cause of its discrimination against Ger many compared with other countries.
 Herr Gotheim, radical liberal, said that if the government attempted to do what 1t was asked to do, 1t would be futile. France had tried to extinguish the Stand ard oil companys monopoly, but of twen- ty-four French refineries. all were now controlled y.the company.
 Baklxu and Galician oils were inferior to the American product, he added, and German refners would be dependent on America for their raw material.
 The secretary of the interior, Count Posadowsky-W -Wehner in the course of the debate upon the petroleum resolution, outlined Germany's new policy regard ing the most favored nation clause, with special reference to the United States.
 Favored Nation Clause.
 "The most favored nation clause said the secretary, '.is yariously interpreted by different countries, especially by the United States. We cannot lay down universal rule to refuse the most fa- vored treatment to European coun- tries, for we must always have in mind the question whether the suspension of the most favored treatment with a given country will damage German exporters to the advance of some. third country"
 The speaker also declared that the United States was no longer entitled to the most favored nation treatment.
 General favored treatment in Eu- rope and America has as a matter of fact, ceased" he sad. Accordingly when we make new treaties, the United States will not enjoy the advantages thereof, without rendering an equivalent on its part The question of most fa- vored treatment must be applied more individually than hitherto"

An "AareeabIe surprIse.v

King Leopold had curious adventure with a local band in one of the country districts outside Brussels the other day. It is the custom with these bands when the king accidentally meets with them in his walks to greet him with the ''Braban- conne." The Independence Beige states that while party of rustic bandsmen was in an inn the other day the king passed and all rushed out to greet him. The conductor called La Brabanconne.
 but as none of the men knew it eacn blew for all he was worth at some air which he did know The discord was tremendous but the king stood through it without moving a muscle and when all was over expressed urbane thanks for the "agreeable surprise" afforded him.

Three Lawyers.

It is not generally known that about twenty years ago Milner, Schreiner and Steyn were embryo lawyers in London, struggling to- gether to obtain a footing in the law In those days they used to dine to- gether frequently. The position of each of these young law students is now too well established to need much comment. Miner now rules the Transvaal colony, Schreiner is the former premier of Cape Colony and Steyn the former president of the Orange River Colony.

SOUTHERN SOIL IS UNDER DISCUSSION  Tri-State Convention Meets in
 New Orleans. "GO SOUTH, YOUNG MAN" This Advice Is Given By MT. Stone of the L. & N. R. R., Who Makes
 a Talk on Our oppor-
 tunities.
"GO SOUTH, YOUNG MAN"

New Orleans, January 14-Fully 100 delegates from various cities throughout the states of Louisiana. Texas and Ms sissippi were present in the Progressive Union hall when the tri-state convention of Commercial, Industrial and Agricul- tural clubs was called to order. Secretary Richardson of the Progressive union pre- sided.
 Among those present were Prof. Milton Whitney, chief of plant industry In the United States department of agriculture Dr. Whitney told of the work in his de- partment and the progress that is being made in determining the sections of that country best adapted for the raising of certain products. Addresses in line with the objects of the convention were made by s. F. B. Morse of the Southern Pa oifc, Geoi ge IT. Smith of the Northeast ern. A H. Hanson of the Illinois Central C. L. Stone of the Louisville and Nash NiIle and E P. Turner of the Texas and Pacific
 Mr. Stone said in part:
 Soil Is Very Fertile.
 'The soil of these states possesses un- usual tecundity and yields al. productions known to temperate zones and many of the tropical fruits are raised in the great est abundance and with little cultivation. Some of the land has been under cutiva' tion for seventy-five years and is still highly productive without the use of fer tiizers. Records show that in certain sections siXty-three annual crops have been raised Tn succession without sin
 l.4r1 gre extensively and profitably cultivated as are also cotton and corn. There is no section in the world where fruits and vegetables are grown In greater profusion CT to such wonderful perfection.
 ''The yields are enormous and the crops mature so early as to reach markets ahead of all others, realizing top prices. This section excels particularly in its strawberries which are large in size and very firm, assuring arrival at markets in perfect condition. As high as 12,4S0 quarts of strawberries have been raised on single acre, yielding $06s net to the grower
 Cultivation of Vegetables.
 "In the cultivation of vegetables for tunes are being made and the industry Is growing rapidly. Last year twenty-two car loads of radishes alone were shipped from Bay St. Louis, Long Beach and Pass Christian. Miss, and that was the first year in this venture.
 "As an example of the productiveness of the soil, man prepared one acre Of land and raised Irish potatoes sweet po- tatoes and corn in one season, the crops selling for $574
 "The output of coal in Alabama Is all most beyond comprehension Texas and Louisiana have made a name for them selves by their enormous crops of rice and sugar cane
 "I have mentioned only a few of the industries that may be located and oper- ated to the interest of their owners in the south. It Is only a question of time until the people of the north will realize the riches of the south and then the cry will be go south, young man.

HAUGHEYHEARD FROM.
Enters Race for Congress in Seventh
District.

Since John Haughey has been turned
down for state fish warden he has gone
home to Wellington and has entered
the race for congress in the Seventh
district. without doubt for the purpose
of beating Andy Richards out of the
Sumner county delegation. This viii
make the local fight in Sumner county
the hottest anywhere in the Seventh
district
Haughey claims that he was turned
down by Governor Bailey because he
would not turn in and help carry Sum
ner county for Richards so that it
might be turned over to Sam Forsha in
case Richards could not land. Haughey
without doubt believes this, but it
probably is not true. because some Of
those who are closest to Governor
Bailey are not for Forsha. Harry Bone,
secretary to the governor, is doing all
he can to land the nomination for
Judge Price of Ashland. 1t is true that
w Y Morgan, J. G. O. Morse and
some of the other big cogs in the Sew
enth district machine are for Forsha,
because he IS from their county, but
Governor Bailey has repeatedly said
that he would take no part in the con-
test
No matter whom they favor for the
nomination. a good many people would
like to see Haughey beat Richards for
the Sumner county delegation, and
there seems to be a strong indication
that he may do it. The Wellington
News has been putting up a hard fight
on Richards ever since it was known
that he would be a candidate. In its
last issue the News publishes some of
the old charges against Richards char
acter and closes with this para graph.
Richards is now at home. This ar
tiele is printed on Monday, March g.
If our charges are not true the matter
is grossly ibelouS. He can have the
proprietor of this paper arrested on
Tuesday afternoon or evening. Bond
will at once be given and we viii waive
all legal formalities and go to trial on
Thursday morning. Then we either go
to Jail for lying or prove the charges

FALSE HOPES
Are Being Raised in the Philippines
By Independent Church.

Rome. March 1O.-Another report from
Archbishop Guidi. the apostolic delegate
in the Philippines, has just been receiz
ed at the vatican. 1t gives a fuller ac-
count of the religious conditions of the
islands. The schism started by Agliya.
the leader of the independent Catholic
church in the Philippines seems graver
than it first appeared. as according to
the report, a strong Filipino party IS
raising false hopes among the natives
of independence from Rome, claiming
that the expulsion Of the friars is indis-
pensable in order to obtain the indepene-
ence of the country. The apostate priests
are IA in number.
It is gathered from good sources that
the vatican is extremely satisfied with
the prudent and wise but at the same
time energetic action of Archbishop
Guidi, who has succeeded in checking
the dissident movement.
