As all men are born with equal rights,
it follows that if the law grants to one
man a privilege over another, it is Just
that lie should pay for it. The law
governing the social body. can be moth
ing more than the command by the
people to do what they deem right, and
1t follows that the law may he Just or
not, according to the perceptions of the
individual members of society. Each
generation applies its own standards of
Justice, and as these must change with
conditions Of education or environment
1t is evident that the Law also mus,
change; and this is done, peacefully
through evolution, or violently through
revolution. About the time of Luther

one day twenty men hanging from the
sa''n gibbet for stealing sheep: in this
country the law has authorized the burn

is a lover of cleanliness. Careful and

| wish to call attention to the fact that
Mrs, Jones says i, pay better to raise
turkeys than to sell eggs at one dollar
each.
Now Of coarse Mrs. Jones sells pure
bred stock only, selling nothing except
culls on the market. but if she cannot
afford to sell eggs at 81 90 each. how can
tany one afford to sell for less than five
cents each, AS wc have learned Of several
getting eggs at that price. That is
| splendid for the huyer of course. but a
dead loss for tue s%eller, such a price will

at the price market turkeys have been
AMI are likely to be. 1t is Tar more
profitable to raise turkeys tiisi to sell
eggs at Is cents, b.t five cents is away
too low. and spells what might be q
profitable branch OF the turkey industry.
There are too many who set such a low
valuation on poultry products in Morgan
County the prices are too low as COM
pared with other places.
This is getting away from turkey. but

Beginning OF The Breeding And
Matching Season

The 1907 Turkey breeding season is
here, with its cares and silver lining Of
hope, T. its clouds Of oftimes disappoint-
nient, but life withou, hope of a bright
future would not be worth the living,
and when we mate up onr breeding yard
of turkeys we see visions OF droves OF
turkeys that nearly cover the farm, but
If YOU do not aim high you reach a low
level for your ambitions.
February is the mouth to mate up and
mark out your plans for the season.
Strong vigorous stock is the first re-
quisite. A great many are so afraid OF ill.,
breeding that they send to the four
quarters Of the globe to get their toms.
| do not believe in inbreedlng, but l do
believe in line breeding to perfect a
strain. Young toms mated with older
hens, OF a yearling tom with young hens
make the best iratiugs.
Turkeys, in tins locality, to not
commence to lay until the very last Of
March or first Of April, but there are
exceptions to tie general rule, as for
instance I have a letter before me giving
the almost unheard of incident Of turkeys
laying and Matching during the winter
months. A friend had turkeys hatch the
last Of September when the II ghts were
cold and frosty, he thought they would
die anyway, and as he was busy getting
stock off for the fair, he just let them
take care Of themselves, and to his utter
surprise they lived, and the next spring
he sold them for breeding and they
turned out fine.
The early matches produce the largest
toms. | like to set my turkey eggs as
early as possible, as the early matches
are a large percent toms, and the earlier
they are Matched the heavier they get,
and it has got to be all heavy weight to
suit the public.

Elephant Life In the Junqles.

Without elephants iungles would be virtually impa ssable. The grcar beasts are a mixture of strength and weak ness. "f craft and simplicity. The paths through the jungle from village to village are merely tracks from which the interlacing foliage has been cut and thrust aside and the virgin soil troudeu into black mud After a rain this mud is many feet deep, and DC living creature except an elephant, buffalo or rhinoceros could labor through it. The elephant makes his way by lifting one foot at time and inserting it deep into the slough in front, withdrawing another with a sound like the popping of huge cork
 Nothing hut ride on an earthquake could be compared with the sensation of being run away with by an ele- plant. AS for stopping him. some one has well said that you might as well try to stop a runaway locomotive by pulling with your walking stick on the funnel as seek to check an elephant At l~sueh moment with goad

NO SUCCESSOR
 FOR MRS. EDDY
RumOr to That Effect Is tnfOundcd Says Boston SreciaI-,MrS. Eddy
 Said to Be in Good Health.

Boston. Mass, Oct 3O.-This talk about d successor to Mrs. Eddy IS pure speculation and is no more than a rehash of a manufactured rnmor which has gone the rounds of the press for years.
 In the first place the well preserV- ed condition of Mrs. Eddy, as recently discovered by the public, makes the question of a successor very much out of time.
 In the second place, one who is at all familiar with Christian Science must know the impracticality and inn possibility of a personal successor to
 Mrs. Eddy. Christian Science is already discovered and established, and Mrs. Eddy is already succeeded in a. large measure by the religlo- science which she teaches, and she will never have any other successor. The Christian Science church will never have any other personal lead CT beside Mrs. Eddy. It is part of the mission of Christian Science to do away with leaders and to teach nor tals to depend upon divine guidance, and in compliance with this fact a bylaw of the Christian Science church specifically provides that the term Header" shall not be applied to Co;nnfictc n connection with Christian Science. Mrs. Eddy because of her unique position as the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, naturally and necessarily becomes the leader of the Christian Science movement, but the consum- nation of her work will place the church beyond the necessity of lead CTS or heads.
 The rumor that Mrs. Eddy will not again appear in public is without any foundation whatever. Mrs Eddy re- serves for herself the same privilege that she has always claimed of going when and where she pleases.
 The rumor that within few months an edition of Science and Health" will be issued which will deal at great length with the opposi- ton of the medical fraternity to the science movement and advice to her followers just what to do in hostile communities, is also pure fabrica- ton. Mrs. Eddy has just issued her revised condition of Science and Health,' but 1t contains no such mat ter as described in the rumlr.

\ WISE PRECAUTION.

Pursuant to the course followed in other cities, the Memphis clearing house banks yesterday decided tenn porarily to pay checks in clearing house certificates Or New York eX- change; and the savings banks will require the notice authorized by law before paying drafts on savings de- posits.
 This is unquestionably q sound precaution to take, and is actually re- ouired by the situation It is taken in the interest of the banks, the stock holders, the depositors and the busf ness world generally. Our dispatches show that nearly every city of import ance in the country has taken a simi- lar course, and it is necessary here in order to facilitate the movement of cotton now about to begin.
 There is no occasion for the slight est alarm. We are assured by some of the leading fnanciers of the city that values have not dminis shed in the least since year ago; but of course if deposits were withdrawn through q senseless alarm, it would be impos- sible to calculate the extent of the disaster that would ensue. Our banks are on as sound basis as the Rock of Gibraltar, but in the very nature of the case no bank in the country could stand steady run. If the say ings bank is to make money with which to pay interest on deposits, it must make investments, and these in yestments are safe-guarded by law. A bank must make sound investments if it wishes to continue doing busi- ness as bank. There can be little doubt that the savings deposits ill Memphis are thoroughly protected, and they are absolutely safe where they are If they should be with drawn, the depostors would lose their interest and the banks would lose their life.
 Of course every city in the coun- try must retain as m0cn or ltSi cur rency as possible until the channel connecting it with New York is open ed. This is merely a prudential measure, and we have no idea that the people of Memphis will regard il in any other light.
 Memphis has never been -easilS Hurried. She weathered the storm o 1893 without a single shipwreck, ant she is of course much stronger toda. than she was then. Our banks hay, ample resources to meet every cen they owe, but of course no bank il the world could pay all that it owe to it's depositors on hurry call Tn action of the banks here may occa sion some inconvenience temporarily but it is wise thing to do. and W believe the people of Memphis gen erally will heartily endorse what ha been done.-Memphis Commercia
