The selection Of half hundred All
American and An-Eastern football
teams, the duty of gridiron critics dur
ing the week following the close OF the
season. has left the average rooter in a
state OF bewilderment
With the exception OF three positions
there has been no unanimity OF choice.
Few football critics have seen enough
or the games played TO judge fairly on
the merits OF the different players.
There Is one method seldom, if ever
tried. which is bound 10 be absolutely
impartial and which must result IN the
selection Of the best team available.
That is by picking the eleven, not ac-
cording 10 the views OF one or two per
sons. but upon the composite judgment
OF twenty OF the best football critics in
the East. The method followed IS that
OF taking the selections OF the twenty
experts who have seen all of the candi-
dates concerned play many times. The
result Of this ballot produces the follow
ing All-Eastern eleven for l.sO4.

a dispatch from Walhalla to The
State says some interest has been
aroused here by an advertisement
which appeared in an Atlanta paper
inquiring for the heirs Of Johnathan
Tins, who moved to Texas or Arkansas
before the War for Southern Indepen-
dence. The advertisement was signed
by E. S. Richey, r. F. D. No. I, Pen
dleton, S. c., and says if any heirs of
Johnathan Tins can be found they
can secure a large sum Of money at
Anderson by presenting themselves
Two miles north Of Wa'halla lives
Mrs. T. A. Tins, widow Of Isaac
Tins, son OF Johnthan Tins. Mrs.
Tins has one son who is heir Of this
estate. Young Tins is an industrious
young man, but owing to physical in
hrmities he is unable to do much hard
labor and should he fall heir to this
estate it would come as a great bless:
ing to his mother and himself. Mrs.
Tins maiden name was Tins. and she
first married Mr.. Warren in Ar

later she married her cousin, Isaac

The lowest price OF tire refined pro-
duct OF the Standard Oil company,
$50 degrees, water white, was in
March, 1898, II S cents a gallon, and
the highest was in November and De-
cember, 1908, Is cents gallon. This
is an increase Of leo per cent. in lllu-
mination in 10 years. Crude petro-
leum also in creased from 81 3 s cents
per barrel in October, 1892, to s1.88s
a barrel in December, 1903, and this
is the Standard Oil conpany's excuse.
The lowest price for sugar was in
1904 and the highest price. was 1890.
Sugar was about 8 per cent. and 10
per cent. lower in 1903 tDan during
the preceding 13 years.
Effective working Of the coal CON-
bination is shown in the comparison
Of the highest and lowest prices dur
ing the period under disc ussion. The
lowest price Of anthracite egg was in
September, 1895. In the latter part
Of 1902 and throughout 1903 the
wholesale price was s4s5. Commis-
sioner Wright says no attempt has
oeen made in any way to go into the
cause Of the rise and fall Of prices.
I THE aim has been to give the
prices as they actually prevailed in
the market" The causes, he holds,
are too complex, the relative influence
too uncertain, in some cases too many
economic questions to permit their
discussion in connection with this
