McRae- Taylor

Being unable to secure reprint of
their marriage from the Scranton
paper, we have fortunately inter-
viewed one who was present, and
now present in our own language an
account of the nuptials of our young
townsman George B. McRae to Miss
Annie Rosalia Taylor, youngest
daughter of Mr.. E. NJ. Taylor, well
to do citizen of Jackson county. The
wedding took place at the brides
home six miles from Vancleave post
Office in the presence of a goodly
number of friends and relatives. It
occurred at IL o'clock on the morning
of the 9Th day of June, 1907. The
solemnizing feature of the occasion
was pronounced by the Rev. M. Nc
Cowan. 1t was followed Immediately
after by a bounteous dinner. The
bridal couple left at 3 o'clock for
Ocean Springs to take the train for
Mobile. p. Castleberry was present
at the ceremony. 1t affords the
HERALD much pleasure to see our
young people entering upon the real
responsibilities of life happily mated.
This is an instance of that in verriest
truth we do feel. George is the
youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs. M. L.
McRae, and the successful manager
of the mercantile establishment bear
ing his fathers name. His courtship
with Miss Taylor began and ran along
while she was visiting her sister here,
Mrs, Preston Castleberry. The young
lady is amply endowed with beauty
and the graces of lovely womanhood.
We prognosticate an unbroken reign
of happiness for this pair.

:. M Fountain.

Last week we began running the
announcement of j. M. Fountain as a
candidate for Supervisor from this
the First district. Mack may not be
personally known to all the electors
in the district, but certainly to a
large number of them. What claims
he bases his candidacy upon are un-
known to the writer, but we presume
are, in his opinion, good. He autho-
rizes us to say that his position upon
the road question, is in favor of
working the public roads by public
contract or with the county convicts.
A long dissertation of his virtues and
adaptabilities is unnecessary and
would only tire our readers, for those
of them who will have to pass upon
him in the voting booth will have an
opportunity ere that day shall have
rolled around, to make a close study
for themselves of the man. He seems
to want the Office, and is entitled to
consideration, whether favored or
not. Our job is to present his name
in connection with his aspirations
and leave it up to the suffragists for
the decision.

Our Clerk of the Courts, S. r.
Mckay, left Sunday for Hot Springs,
Ark, going there to take the baths
from the famed springs for the rheu-
matte troubles that have assailed him
in the last few weeks. He went there
several years ago seeking relief from
a severe attack of the same complaint
and experienced much and speedy al
deviation. Those who know assert
that these springs are really more eff
ficacious for malarial and rheumatic
blood disorders than for their much
reputcd veneral blood poison merits.
Mr.. Mckay figures that he can re-
cover and get back quicker to his
work in this way than by any other
course of treatment.

There it is again. The CORPORATIONS
are convicted as corporations, and IL the
verdict stands they will be fined. These
corporations have millions of money and
ing it. Such n punishment" is no pun
tshment at all. And were these corpora
tons as such responsible for the viola
ton Of the law? Can corporation of

count and punished as other Individual

Imprisonment, or both. according to the

Questions for Mr.. Hartman.

After tho adjournment of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in Chicago last
Thursday, II was announced that the next
hearing IN New York was to deal ex-
clusively with Mr.. Harriman's financial
operations. This investigation will relate
especially to the manner In which Mr..
Hartman has gotten q grip on n number
VI railroads, but 1t ought to be pushed
farther than that. AT recent meeting
OF the board of directors of the Union
Pacific road ten per cent. dividend was
declared by that company, and five per
cent dividend on the Southern Pacific
stock This took Wall Street by Storm
for the dividend rate was largely more
than any of the traders had dreamed of.
The dividend was declared one day, but
announcement was withheld until the
next. OF course, there was a sudden
jump in the price of both Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific. and those who were
fortunate enough to hold the stock were
delighted, but those who had sold under
a misrepresentation were Indignant and
Disguised.
Later on. in the investigation of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. 1t was
ascertaned that the Union Pacific road
owned large blocks OF stock in numerous
other roads, and the public was puzzled
to understand just why that should be.
But there are some financiers who be-
levo that they have discovered the Sc
oret. They believe that Mr. Hartman
and his associates sold to the Union Pa
ciflc Railroad. which they controlled, their
private holdings in various other rail-
roads, then raised the dividend on Union
Pacific-and Southern Pacific stocks. and
large holdings of these stocks
on the public.
OF course, outsiders do not know this
to be fact, but some believe it to be
such, and 1t would be well for tho Inter-
state Commerce Commission to investi-
gate and ascertain If they are right
