father of a bripht baby daugh-

Mr.. O. F. Turner left Monday
for Milsaps College where he will
take a course in civil law. Mrs.
Turner will remain with her par
ents during his absence.
Mr.. Joe Brown has moved into
the cottage at his mill hoping the
change will be beneficial to the
health of his family.
Instead Of going out of busi-
ness AS was reported, Miss A. G.
Hannah has opened up her fall
stock of millinery. AS is usual
her customers are delighted.
MIR, David Hunts family have
post poned their departure for
Gulfport indefinitely since the
recent storm. They were to
have left this week.
The storm last week damaged
the farmers crops of corn and
cotton deplorably. No one was
hurt and no considerable damage
to property in our community.
After all we have much to feel
thankful for as the news reaches
US of the terrible disaster on the
coast.
Rev. J. r. Courtney delivered
one of the ablest sermons that
has resounded from pulpit in
Sturgis for quite awhile. If the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church
has many such as he it will soon
have regained its footing. He
is quiet eloquence that carries
conviction.
Prof. Jno. A. McReynolds and
Miss Stella Langley opened up
THE Sturgis Grad ed School,
Monday with an enrolment OF
only seventeen. Where are the
children-fishlng?
Mr.. McReynolds has taught here
before and we know from exper-
ience that he is an excellent
teacher. Never having met Miss
Langley we can judge only by
public opinion. She was once
before employed in this same
work. She is represented by
both patrons and pupils as the
verv quintessence of perfection.
We are sure the school will
thrive under the careful guild
ance OF these intructors.

Quite a number of people came
to town Monday because it was
too bad weather to do anything
at home, to look after business.
The farmers are uniform in their
reports of great destruction and
damage to all crops. 1t is not so
bad, however, but that it could
have done more damage.

Many years ago thirty girls who
sealed and labeled the cans in the
canning factory at North Manchester
got so warmed up drinking fermented
juice that they took off all their super
fluos clothes, sealed them and tabled
them. They got mixed with several
thousand cans of preserves and for
for months thereafter it was nothing
uncommon when you had company to
open raspberry preserve label and
turn out a pink hair ribbon and a
pair of stockings ana many an old
apron or a corset cover. Only a
short time ago the landlady of a ho-
tel was absent mindedly looking out
of window while dumping a can of
supposed peaches when out rolled two
hip pads She didn't notice them
and near-sighted boarder ate one for
a waffle. The can was bought of a
merchant who didn't advertise and it
had been on the shelf for over twenty
years.

Apro23f Of The great frauds of in
surance officials former Justice Parker
of the New York supreme court said,
"1he way to convict is to convict"
Now the official graft and corporate
abuses by which our law is being dis
graced are almost wholly due to the
failure of men sworn to bring the
guilty to justice to stand by their
oaths and defend the rights of the peo-
pie. The sterotyped excuses that
there is not sufficient evidence" and
mo direct law applying" open the door
for dishonesty and greed to come in
and fatten.
Alarm over the rapid growth Of So
cialistic sentiment in this country is
growing in spite of the tendency to
make light of it. Ifiriawful and unre-
strained encroachments of predatory
wealth give to Socialistic agltators
their best texts for incendiary utter
ances. When all laws are rlgidly en-
forced one mans chance is just as
good as the next, and no sort of soph-
istry can make it appear otherwise.

good politics. Whether the cor
porauon will be convicted or not is
question. In view of all the lucky
escapes it has had in the past Il is
very doubtful if it will. But such
prosecution would give a flip to
gossip and would indicate that the
Department Of Commerce and Labor
had gotten very busy. 1t would
also serve IN some measure TO take
public attention off the refusal of
Congress to take up tariff revision.
So the prosecution may be con-
sidered as good as begun.

There is no question that tnere Us
plenty of material at hand for pro-
secu,ion under the Sherman anti
trust law. But whether the govern
ment would be able to make any of
the cases stick under the Elkins re-

The case and fuency with which the
Standard officials usually lie out of
such charges, it is probable they
would not. But all the preparations
for the prosecution are being made
with a great show of secrecy and the
cases will be brought when they
could be expected to do the most
good, that is TO say little ahead OF
the coming election.

RAILROAD RATE BILL.

The Hepburn railroad rate bill as
amended and passed by the Senate
provides:
That the Interstate Commerce
Commission shall investigate charg-
es of unjust and unreasonable rates
OF common carriers.
Ii determinations are found. the
commission is empowered to fix a
just and reasonable maximum rate.
Orders of the commission go into
effect within 80 days and continue
in force for two years, unless set
aside by the commission or a court.
The penalty for disobedience OF
the orders of the commission is a
fine of IS. 900 daily.
United States circuit courts shall
have jurisdiction over suits to annul
acts of the commission. the granting
of interlocutory DEGREES without
hearings and making appeals direct
to The Supreme Court.
Oil pipe lines, express and sleep
ing car companies are declared COM
mon carriers.
The commission has access to the
accounts of the companies affected.
What the bill will contain when
the committee of conference of the
Senate and House of Representa-
tives gets through with it, only time
will tell. 1t is already limited that
the oil pipe lines and the express
companies amendments are to be
stricken out through the Rookie
Teller influence, and the fact that
most OF the influential Republican
Senators and members of the House
have Express company franks lends
color to this report.
