U. B. CORNER STONE LAYING
The Corner Stone of the New United
Brethren Church will be Placed
September 1st.

There will doubtless be great
gathering of people in Bourbon, Fri
day, September 1, it being the occa-
sion of the laying of the corner stone
of the new United Brethren church.
Rev DR.. H. H. Fout, of Dayton, Ohio,
will officiate. DR.. Fout is the editor
of the Sunday school literature and
one of the ablest pulpit men in the
church. If you have heard him you
will be sure to hear him again. If you
have never heard him, you should not
let this golden opportunity pass by.

towns. viz: Rev. L. o. Oyler Bremen,
Rev. M. V. Hibbs, Brem, Rev. 0.

Manchester, Rev. J. w. Lower, Rev.
| S. o. Fink, Warsaw, Rev. w. H. Rit-
|tenheuse, Syracuse, will be present
and assist in the ceremony.
Services will begin promptly at 200
lp. m. on the Church lawn where seats
have been arranged, the weather be-
sg favorable; otherwise they will
probably be conducted in one of the
|bther churches. The business men
will be asked to close during the SER
vice, and they will doubtless acuiesce

business men are loyal to the interests

COunciII's Speech.

The Tribune has several times very recently had it's atten- ton called to a speech made by Prof w. H. Councill. said to have been made in Kansas City, and presumably made quite recently. A comment on an ex- changes favorable criticism by The Montgomery Advertiser attracted oul first attention; this was followed by a Mobile Registers publication of q Washington Post comment all of which were complimentary in tone. This morning The Tribune called Professor Councill up over the phone and asked about the speech. To our surprise. he remarked he made no speech in Den yer but had used identically the same language ana enunelated the same teacn ings in a speech he made in Lawrence Kas., August 1st 1899. By some means unknown to Councill, this old speech has gotten into the hands of the press and is now exciting most favorable comment. We have always said w. H Councill was something of'a colore.l prophet; that he was great because he was honest and truthful; told things as they are, and did not falsely represent the Southern people. These newspa per comments verify our opinion of this negro leader and his enunciations and teachings of nearly six years ago excite most favorable comment today.

they put him under the sod. politically 1t is all the better for us. Either result will create discord. dissensions and divisions in the Republican ranks that will open the way for Democratic success While we do not fully share The Tribunes high opinion of Roose- veit's sincerity. we are aware that he has expressed himself so plainly and so decidedly that it will be exceedingly difficult for him to recede or back down without cowardly surrender to the imp1acable element of his party. Let us hope that both sides will stick. and that between them they will bust the old party wide open. Then the Demo- crats will hold an inquest over the re- mains, administer on the assets and enter into possession of the estate. To both sides we wish unbounded success in the work of killing each other. politically and officially.

Some remarks in a recent issue of The Chicago Tribune are of nature to give encouragement to Democrats, if they are prepared to take advantage of probable circumstances, The editorial begins by saying:
 There are a lot of Congressmen who seem to be eagerly desirous of retiring from political life on the second Tues day of November 1906. They are barring their necks for the ax, and 1t is being sharpened.
 The paper then discusses the Presi- dents attitude on several important questions, Ilauds him much beyond his deserts. as we believe. but concludes thus:
 In November of next year a new Con- gress will be elected. Before that as he has begun, he will have forced every man in Congress to take stand one way or the other. The question will not down. It cannot be confined to eloakroom e.0nnversations1; It win mand vote The policy of delay and of subterfuge cannot last much longer unless President Roosevelts tempera- ment has been most eXtraorolnarlly mitigated. The railroads, the inter state commerce corporations, and the beneficiaries of the tariff will have to call their champions out into plain view on the floor of the House. President Roosevelt will have all those cham pions marked before he sends them home to their constituents. He is not attacking wealth. He is simply de- manding a square deal If he doesn't get 1t the men who have stood in his way will, many of them. never have | a chance to stand there again.
 The distinct note in all this, It will be observed, Is that the Republican Congressman must stand with and by Roosevelt or go down, andt herein lies hope and comfort for Democrats. There the Republicans. They think they are as big as Roosevelt, and some of them possibly feel a little bigger. Many of them feel and argue that the re- suit of the election was an endorse ment of the stand pat" policy and they propose to stand. if 1t wrecks the whole layout.
 But. as Is well known. Roosevelt has considerable of the mule in his own composition, and when he sets his head to go in a certain direction he wants to go. That he doesn't always turn his head the right way doesn't change the fact that he is deucedly stubborn at times. It will be noticed that The Tribune sets him down as a determln- ed advocate of certain changes that really ought to be made. If he is as sincere and determined as that paper makes him out to be, there Is a fine opening for some lively business in the c. O. P. during the next year or two. If he insists that these needed refor- nations must be carried out, and if prominent men of his party determine that they shall not be. then what? Will 1t not be a clash between the irresistible and the immovable? If so. which will triumph?

SATURDAY, JANUARY IA, 1905.
ANOTHER CELrBRATIoN.

The New York Mail has been discuss ing the proposition of Chattanooga to held sort of Worlds Fair in that city in 1915 to celebrate the semi-centen- iial of the close of the war between the States. As usual the paper must give the South a dig. as it does in this paragraph:
 In ten years from now, we doubt not, he South will have said its last fond farewell to the Lost Cause. It will nave learned the lesson of 1904 as well as that of 1865. If 1904 has not been enough, 1908 will have completed its work. Lingering animosities in the forth will have died out, too. No one i'll have any use for the bloody shirt.
 If The Mail means to intimate, as 1t cvidently does, that by the close of mother decade the South will have for- gotten the glorious history of the southern confederaey, or will have for gotten the men who made it glorious, then The Mail has very limited knowledge of the Southern people. The ,ost Cause will be as sacred to the sons and daughters of the South ten years hence as 1t was ten or twenty years ago. Further, it must have an exceedingly poor opinion of our people jt 1t thinks they are so weak and for etful as to be driven from their devo- ion to the heroes of the Confederacy y the results of a. Presidential election. The election of fifty Roosevelts or other republicans would only intensity the loyalty of the South to the cause for which her sons fought and died on many fields of glory.
 And we think The Mail mistakes its wn section when 1t asserts that lingering animosities in the North will ave died out before or by 1915. The selling of sectional bitterness in the forth is just as intense today as 1t was an or twenty years ago. We do not mean that 1t Is as widespread as 1t has | cen in former times, but that it is till there in all its virulence. nor will enother ten years drive it away.
 Nor Is The Mall nearer the right posi- vlon when 1t says in another portion If the same editorial that the proper lace for the celebration of the semi sntennary of Appomattox Is the foot 0t Grants tomb We can see no sason why the people of the South lould be expected to look on Grant's tDmb as Kaaba at which they should leet to celebrate their own overthrow. Whether the holding of such a celebra- on would be good or bad policy we re not discussing, but we are sure nat Grants tomb is not the place for it.

 Planter and Spinner.
 Heed the care with which the mer~ IL passes into his possession. Mark the hurry with which bales are hustled out of the rain when the spinner or manufacturer has acquired title to the houses of the most substantial type and protects them with every khown contrivance to prevent damage from either fire or water: A leaky roof here Is promptly patched.
 A Lession to the Farmer.
 All this contains .lession for the farmer. By comparison his practice Is barbarous, foolish, and tainted with for warehousing or to keep his quota from coming into sight" many plan ters are leaving the bales in the farm yard, exposed to all the inclemencies ed and resting on the bare ground. Every day of such exposure means deterioratpn in value to both farmer and spin9r.

Buyers will make deductions, and they ought to double the usual ones when a bale comes to the platform soaked from continued exposure. It is not only the weight of moisture absorbed wnlcb should be deducted, but a second re. auction in price made for actual de- terioration In quality. Much of 1t really becomes unsound and of little use for manufacturing purposes.
 Exposure and Depreciation.
 spinner would willingly pay cent a pound more for protected bale than barred to the weather of a winter. Reserved cotton is often spoken of as the farmers bank account. How many of them would deposit their funds in a bank which would steadily and surely depreciate them? Yet they deliberately do this with their cotton. Many mills do now buy their full re- quirements because they have not a sufficient storage capacity, never think ing that the bales they will ultimately buy are being stored for them by the is provided by earth and sky.
 Therefore we say to the farmer "Care for the, Cotton," otherwise thou sands of damaged bales will be re- jected. In tho final analysis all this damage settles down on the farm.

The OdlOus Paper Monopoly.

Chicago Tribune.
 The International Paper Company was a project by which mills that were we'll situated should bear the burdens of mills that were not well situated. All twenty-four mills went into one cor poratlon. The weak mills Nvere capi- talized not on what they were really worth, but what they might be worth under the new management. If competition had not been eliminated the weak mills should have been oblig- ed to introduce extraordinary improve ments or else go out of business. To- day there is not the same stimulus to- ward inventive ingenuity, and the weak mills and strong mills together share the dividends of the monopolistlc total.
 There Is an excessive duty on news print paper. No paper was being im- ported when the duty was put on. It was not designed to check the inroads of the foreigner. There were no in- roads. It was designed to provide a margin for an advance in price When prices were advanced there might be inroads unless there were tariff. Not even the standpatters can defend the news print paper schedule in the Ding Icy tariff law. Together with many other schedules 1t will some day be radically revised, even If brand-new broom-that Is, a brand-new body of national legislators--is needed for the work
