THE WORLDS FIRST BILLIONAIRE.

If John D. Rockefeller lives
twelve years more he will be the
first Millionaire the world has ever
known, for his wealth grows auto
maticly. He controls absolutely
fifty-one Of the largest banks and
trust companies in America, do
inmates sixty per cent. of the rail-
roads, can fix the price of steel to
the world, has nearly a million
and half mems work and wages
under his power, has the oil indus
try i'll the hollow of his hand, and
sways the fortunes of over 500
other great corporations.
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1905-08-10

1t is reported that John D.
Rockefeller has cornered the lin
seed market, that three big indie
pendent mills have been forced
out of business, and that Mr..
Rockefeller has made q pot of
money out of the deal. All of
that being true, it may be expect
ed that Mr.. Rockefeller will short
iy hand out some more contribu-
tions to churches and colleges,
and that the price of paints will
be advanced.

| FOREIGN WORK.
| At the last Board Meeting + M. S.,
at Muscogee, l. T., it was decided to
introduce the Press Department into
the Foreign Work. Also superintend-
ant was elected and soon foreign items
will be scattered through the secular
press. Marietta has strong Foreign
Auxiliary, Mrs. W. L. Richardson is
| president. Under cher able manage
ment she has DEVELOPED fine society.
With but few exceptions here, the wo-
men who work in the Home Society
are also workers in the Foreign. After
alliit is!truly,one:work. The missionaries
in the foreign field are only doing what
the workers in the home land are doing.
FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.
Recently one sailing vessel landed
upon our shores at Ellis Island, 2,64l
immigrants from the shores of South
ern Italy and Sicily OF the entire
population of our country today only
one third are connected with any relig-
ious organization. Besides this we
have other problems to confront in our
home land. The poor ignorant people
from our rural districts.are:surging into
our ciries-then there are our noun
tain section and our negro slums.
TRAINED WORKERS.
To meet these conditions we r1ust
have trained workers, hundreds of dea-
conesses and trained missionaries are
needed for assistants of pastors. Those
who are ready to consecrate their lives
to this cause are invited to communi-
cate with the General Secretary of the
H. I'M. S., Mrs. r. w. MacDonell, 316

A Kentucky editor refuses to
publish notice of the deaths of
people who, while living, failed to

reason therefor: "People who do
not take the home paper are dead
anyway, and their merely passing
away is of no particular news value
to any one."

HICKS FORECASTS

The Rev. Irl L. Hicks, the weather
prognosticator. forecasts the following for
the remainder of the month OF December:
"a reactionary storm period is central
on the 18th, 10th and 18th. Throughout
this part Of the month there is constant
tendency to unsettled and stormy
weather. But decided storm conditions,
with general rain and snow, will be most
natural, on and touching Saturday and
Sunday, the 10th and 18th. Correct
statistics will show that one of the storm
lest periods on Atlantic Ocean along the
line OF travel and traffic from the United
States to Europe, lies from the 5th to the
25th Of December.
A regular storm period, covers the 10th
to 26th. The central day of December
Solstice falls within this period, on the
2lst, and the regular Vulcan storm period
is central on the 22d. The Moon is in
perigee on the 23d at new moon on the
25th, and at extreme declination south on
the 10th. All these facts combined indi-
oate that from about the 10Th, to the 26th
will bring period OF prolonged winter
storms. The crisis of this period may be
looked for on and touching Saturday,
Sunday and Monday, the 23d, oath and
25th.
/ A reactionary storm period is central on
the 9th, 2Sth and 29th. The general
cold leading into these days will partially
break up, the high barometer will relax
into lower pressure, and renewed squalls
rain, snow and wind will visit many Sec
tions OF the country on the 9th, 2Sth and
18th. Higher barometer and much
colder weather will close December in
most parts of the country.

ROAD AFFAIRS

In another column will be found
the report of the Comptroller OF
his audit of the accounts OF the
Road Commissioners of the sew
eral hundreds. 1t will be noticed
that the Commissioners of st.
Georges Hundred show a bal
ance on hand of $242. 10; liabil-
ties of 5000; and resources
(which are evidently uncollected
taxes) 81, ,749.5o. This is an ex-
cellentshowing and refectscredit
upon the present commissioners.
When the Republicans first elect
ed a majority of the Road Com
missioners in 1898, the hundred
was in debt considerably over
$4,000. This has been reduced
by more than 50, 900 and all bills
paid, and absolutely no floating
debt. 1t must be remembered
that our Road Com mmissioners are
limited in the amount to be raised
by taxation to S., 800. Of this
amount$800 will not cover errors,
commissions and rebates 81 900
is paid annually ON the bonded
debt; 5000 comes to the Town of
Middletown and $500 to the Town
of Odessa $3.50 is required to
pay the interest on bonds leav-
ing not exceeding $500, with
which to keep up nearly a hun
dred miles of roads, and many
bridges. The wonder is not how
little is done, but as compared
with former administrations, how
much. Unquestionably a great
improvement could be made in
certain ways, but not with the
money available. After the bond
ed debt is paid off, the three
commissioners if they be as hon.
est and efficient as the present
board can spend $1,000 more and
make a better showing.
