1gnomiaious End of a Promising
Industry.

Aiken certainly comes to the front
on all occasions. Some years ago a
couple of parties through the kind
heartedness of some philant nthropists
we're pat into possession OF gold
brick. And Last spring it seems that
similar philanthropists put some 9TH
ems in possession OF an aluminium
brick. The time has evidently not
yet come when people will learn that all
shat gsisters is not gold-or aluminium.
And as we'll known character remar-
ked, sthe point of remark lies in
tho application Of it. -
Well the application is the finale g

Through some anfortuuate train Of cir
cumstances over which the enterpris-
Jag stockholders had TO control, the
S75a, 900 was not put into the enter
prise; the 600 skilled OF orators did not
come on: the village with about l5OC
inbabitants was not built: the few
buiidiugs put up were burned down
aud finally in steps the sheriff and
lays his ruthless hand on everything
IN sight and out of sight.
And now therefore on the first Mon
day in December everything apper.
saiuing to the Pope Clay Products Go.
will be sold under sundry executions.
This will probably mark the end oi
the great aluminium enterprise.

THE REAL HUSTLER
The Fellow Who Keeps Everlast-
ingly at 1t is the One Wins
in the Battle of Life.

The difference between making
front and making good is the
difference between a four-card
flush and real one. 1t is the DIFF
terence between the hand painted
trees and rocks of the stage and
the dependable God-made things
of the forest.
A front is tin-thunder. 1t is
sand coated wood, and however
much it looks like stone it will not
stand the strain. The buffer is
Il a discount when it comes to a
s kow-down. The clay feet of the
pnt-maker are likely to crumble
any minute. 1t doesn't matter
much what work a man does, so
long IS be makes good. 1t isn't the
line Of business a man is in that
decides his success. It's the man
himself, The Vanderbilt fortunes
grew cut of an inconsequent fer
ryboat. The Astor opulence
started in picayunish skin deals.
Jay Gould peddled rat-traps. Ed
ison was a country telegrapher.
Look around you-the success
full men are not all in one line.
They were not born successful.
They started as errand boys, as
pie-bakers, as wagon drivers, as
telegraph operators, as clerks, as
ditch diggers, as mechanics but
they made good.
A successful man in one line
would pretty surely have been
successful in another. A man of
brains and energy and industry
viii succeed wherever you put
him.
Sam ! of Posen used to say; In
one year I'll be on the road. In
two vars I'll be Il partner. In
thref years I'll own the business. "
But he had to make good as por-
er or stock clerk before he could
get on the road. And the man on
the road must make good or make
tracks.

plain earnest, honest work. just
doing what your hand findeth to
do and doing it with all your might.
1t is work, in favorable condi-
tons if possible, in rainy weather

It's the same old story of being
faithful in small things. Do your
work so we'll that nobody can fol-
low and do better. Whatever the
job is--clean it up. The boy who
does a good job of floor sweeping
will make good in better things.
Give him a chance. He may not
be brilliant, He need not scintill-
ate. A little horse sense and &
good deal of earnestness and hon
est work will pull him through.
How many successful men that
you know are brilliant men,
Mighty few. Most brilliant men
are too busy shining to attend to
much of anything else. | know
quite an assortment of brilliant in
tellects, and most of them are a
little mushy around the edges.
How often have you met a big"
man to find that he is insignificant
in appearance, with no apparent
shrewdness, or ability worth men
tioning, and generally about as inn
pressiye as a really aggressive
shrimp
But the man has surely made
good. Start him talking on the
line in which his success lies and
see the wheels revolye. You'll
find he knows it forward and back,
diagonally from end to end, and
straight through the middle. And
you'll find he has been hard
worker. You'll find that he point
ed his nose in one direction aud

tinuously putting one foot in front
of the other.
You look at the man and won

more than two dollars q day. But
look at his work and you'll find
the secret. You'll find all the
cracks nicely caulked, and if
there's loose end anywhere it's
tied up, so at least it won't ravel.

TO FIGHT WEEVIL
House Appropriatcs Money For
determination of the Mexi-
can Boil Weevil.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Con-
gress has declared war on the
Mexican boil weevil and the House
has passed an emergency appro-
priation" of $500, 900 for the ex-
termination of the pest, and for
stamping out the foot and mouth
disease now prevalent among New
England cattle. This will provide
S250,0O0 for each purpose.
The experts say that the Next
can weevil has only been known
to this country for the last twelve
years. It's development has been
slow, owing to the sparsely settled
Texas-Mexican boundary line, but
in the past three years it has so
multiplied that unless checked, it
threatens to destroy the cotton
crop of the South.
There was no disposition on the
part of any of the members to OPP
pose the appropriation which was
brought up in the House by Chair
man Hemenway of the Appropri-
atoms Committee. The bill had
been reported unanimously by the
Agriculture Committee, and was
favored by the Appropriations
Committee, so that, when present
ed, it had plain sailing.
Efforts were made on the part
of Representative Gillette of Mas
sachusetts to amend the bill, so as
to increase the amount, and mako
it applicable to the caterpillar
menace, which has taken on seri-
Gus proportions in the East and Ii
threatening the destruction of all
vegetable life.
His efforts, however, proved flu
tile. On point of order by Chair
man Wadsworth of the Committee
on Agriculture, his amendment
was ruled out of order.
Representative Burleson of Tex
as briefly described the havoc
wrought by the boil weevil upon
the great cotton industry of his
State. He showed that during
the last two seasons alone there
was loss of over $50, 100000 to
the cotton producers, and in con-
clusion asserted that as the world
looked to this country to meet the
ever-growing demands for cotton,
it would be impossible for the
South to grow the cotton if no
steps are taken by the Govern
ment to remedy the evil.

Gen. Nelson A. Miles, in which the gen

Some time ago Mr.. McCalmont wrote
to Gen. Miles, announcing that he
would be a delegate to the Prohibition
national convention, and asked If he
could not have the pleasure of sup
porting him for the nomination. The
full text of the letter received in reply
Mr. McCalmont refuses to make pub
lie, as he claims it is private COM
munication. He states that it has not
been seen by anyone but himself. AT
a banquet held in Franklin on Tuesday
evening of last week, attended by 6
few Of the men active in the Prohibi-
ton party in Franklin, Mr.. McCalmont
proposed Gen. Miles as a candidate,
and read an extract from the letter. in
which Gen. Miles is quoted as saying
1T remains with my friends to say
what services l shall render further to
my country"
Mr.. McCalmont refuses to quote any
further for publication, and claims
that the original quotation was given
out simply as matter of private in
formation to a few friends.

here tonight with the avowed purpose
of forming an anti Mormon party A
committee of twenty five citizens was
appointed to frame plan Of political
action, and mass meeting will be
held next week to ratify the action and
perfect organization. A protest against
the statements of President Smith was
unanimously adopted and signed by
about 200 citizens. The protest will
be forwarded to Chairman Burrows, of
the investigating committee, and cop
les will be circulated for further sig
natures in Utah and adjoining states
The resolutions declare that the law
abiding citizens repudiate emphatically
the statement of President Smith that
his offense of living in open polygamy
is condoned; that on the contrary the
disclosures made by him at Washing
ton were nowhere received with great
er amazement, indignation and disgust
than in Utah; that it has been hereto
fore impossible to get at the real facts
of the situation, owing to the wall of
secrecy with which the polygamists
have surrounded themselves and their
constant practice of failing to comply
with the law in reporting births.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March IA
In the United States supreme court
today an opinion was delivered in the
merger case of the Northern Securities
company versus the United States in
favor of the governments contention
that the merger was illegal. No de-
cision has been announced on the ap-
peal of the case of the state of Min
nesota.
The opinion of the court was handed
down by Justice Harlan and it upheld
the decree of the circuit court for the
district of Minnesota in every particu-
lar. Four of the judges dissented from
the five constituting the majority.
The division in the court was due to
a difference Of opinion as to the right
of federal control of state corpora
tions. The majority opinion proceeded
on the theory that congress has
right under the constitution to con-
troll interstate commerce, no matter
by whom conducted, while the minor
ity or dissenting opinion was based on
the theory that in the present case the
effort is to regulate the ownership OF
railway stocks by state corporations
and that such ownership is not inter-
state traffic.
An effort was made by the court to
prevent knowledge of the fact that the
opinion was to be rendered today from
getting to the public; but nevertheless
it was quite generally understood
among newspaper men, attorneys and
others for an hour or so before the
converting of court today that the de-
cision would be announced. When,
therefore, the members of the court
filed into the chamber at noon they
were met by an expectant crowd,
which filed every seat both inside and
outside the bar. Seated among the
attorneys were Attorney General
Knox, Secretary Taft and an unusually
large number of senators and mem
bers of the house.
There was no surprise manifested,
