TO HONOR CON-
FEDERATE DEAD
SENTIMENT STRIVES WITH
INDUSTRY
United Daughters of Confederacy
Appeal to Southerners to Assist in
Converting the Old Battlefield at
Corinth, Miss, Into Memorial Park

Just west of the beautiful little
village of Corinth Miss, stands a
low eminence, from which smoke of
many factories often obscure the sky
the earthworks upon its crest have
been mouldering for forty-odd years
Nature has carpeted the ampitheater
of battle with green grass, the en-
brasures that once held the cannon
are now worn bare by the passing
feet of two generations; the hooking
bird sings to its mate in the red haw
whose roots draw nourishment from
the once blood drenched ground ana
the hare hides its young in the hol-
lows of the old fort
IN this hallowed spot past and
present meet, and memory wraps
tender recollection about a past IN
which deeds OF historic valor still
live, for on October 3 and A. 1862,
one of the bloodiest battles of the
Civil War was fought and made this
peaceful hill a scene OF carnage in
'describable Here gallant Rogers
scaled the parapet OF the fort ano
planted the Stars and Bars right in
the face of the enemy. He was the
fifth color-bearer that attempted this
daring deed and he fell pierced with
eleven mimic balls, the flag of our i'll
starred nation covering him with its
siken forlds.
ITnnr, +11;r hill = fn,,nbt
the battle of peace War spills the
blood of human hearts, peace saps
the nectar of human souls; the bat
ties of war are soon ended the bat
tie of peace continues. War has a
limited field of action, the world is
the battle ground of peace. Today
sentiment and industry are warning
for the possession of this field hour
by hour. Industry plants lumber
yard at the foot of the hill, senti-
ment places an enclosure about the
spot made famous during that quar-
fette of years. Industry plants
chair factory on the north, sentt-
ment places an arch over the gate
way to the enclosure and through
tears writes Confederate Park"
thereon Industry builds switches
and factories, sentiment builds mon
uments and headstones to dead he
roes Industry backed by forgetful-
ness and indifference surges up the
slope, sentiment assisted by memory
and patriotism ensconces herself III
the old fort and will not be dislodg-
ed. This one sacred spot! The
United Daughters of the Confederacy
are trying to make this park a gem
OF beauty, to commorate the place
where Mueller, Daily, Rogers and
many of the boys who wore the gray
weltered in heroes blood
We ask every loyal Southerner to
contribute one dollar. Every man or
woman who is yet mindful of the
sacrifices made for our country's
sake to donate this small sum to
prosecute the undertaking. We hope
every Mississippian will feel a State
pride and enlist on the side of senti
ment against industry
And, sister states, help us to hold
the fort, beautify it, make it a rest
ing place for the living. Send all
contributions to Mrs. John d. Bills.

date system of accounting in the Douglas factory
at Brockton The system was TO Show the exact
cost of every piece of finished product 1t is al
legged that work was continued until January Is,
1907, and that the plaintiffs were paid sSlO0 on
account Then it is said that the defendant abro-
gated the contract on the ground that the system
was not satisfactory and no better than the one
already in use. The plaintiffs assert the Work was
properly done and demand S7,700 balance due. Inc
trial of the case began yesterday.
Mr. Douglas said that since he began business
thirty-two years ago he had been hunting for
method to find out the exact cost OF production.
Under the questioning of his attorney he detailed
the various stages of the work and the percentage
of cost allowed each department, having TIE oe-
tails and fractional percentages at his tongue enc.
The trial will probably occupy several days

MILK STILL NINE CENTS.
Report That Trust" Had Reduced
Price Denied by Dealers.

Dealers were surprised to read yesterday that the
Milk Trust had reduced the price from TO cents
a quart Emphatic denials soon followed, accom-
panied by the assertion that there no milk
trust in this city. Only one big company Is selling
under cents. The others smaller dealers scat
tered throughout the city.
President Rogers of the Borden Milk Company
said: There is truth in the reports that the
leading milk dealers of the city have reduced
prices There will be reduction as far as we
are concerned until April, the usual time TO put
the spring and summer prices into effect. Our
price is the same now as it was on November Is.
when raised the price to cents. No one can
sell good milk at cents and live 1 do not believe
there is any milk trust in this city; at least this
company is not in it if exists"
President Horton of the Slawson-Decker Com
pany said of the report that prices had been re-
duced: 1t is not founded on fact L have made
inquiry. and not company has reduced its price.
All are selling at cents except few of the
smaller dealers. 1t is nonsense TO say that there
is profit of cents quart on milk at cents.
Why if the public will guarantee profit of
three-eighths of cent quart, I'll be satisfied for
the balance of my life one of the statements
made was that the trust companies losing
their business because the Independents were SELL
ing for a cent lower That is nonsense, too, for our
sales last week 14.7G0 quarts more than for
the same period one year ago. The financial panic
has made a big difference in what call the Fifth
avenue trade. for those were the people who wero
hit hardest, but despite that sales steadily
increasing"
1t was said at the office of the Campbell Milk
Company, the largest Brooklyn dealers, that their
price had been cents since November 19. and
that the company had intention of reducing it,
1t said there, too, that canvas of dealers had
failed to disclose single firm that had reduced the
price from To cents.
At the Office of the Mutual Milk and Cream Com
pany it said that it had knowledge of any
dealers having reduced the price. was said that
this company is not engaged in any fight to force
other dealers to put down their prices.

ALLEGED MILTON BIBLE RETURNED.
Local Book Dealer Sends the Spurious Vol
ume Back to Auctioneer.

f-eorRe II Richmond, a dealer in rare books
md prtnts who purchased for s1,225 what was said
10 be John Miltons Bible, which has been proven
a forgery. has returned the book to the Anderson
Auction Company. where he bought it, The Bible
was supposed to be the that John Milton used
when he wrote Paradise Lost, and was part OF
the collection of Henry II. Buckler. OF Baltimore,
at present attached to the American Embassy at
Madrid.
The volume was first heard Of in a second hand
hook store in London, and Dodd. Mead d Co.. OF
this CITY, cablcd 10 their representatives there 10
nav as high as f5o0 for it 1t was obtained, now
ever. for Co.'s and brought to this country when

,yorlx 10 be offered for sale. The book contained
,,e SIGNATURES of John Milton and his third WIFE,
El,zabeth but after the signatures had been ex-
auiued by a. handwriting expert they were pro-
nounced forgeries.
Mr. Richmond said yesterday that he believed
that all who had possession OF the book III thls
country were honest in the opinion that the Bible
WAS really Miiton's and that the fraud must nave
been perpetrated on the other side. 1t is probable
that the book will find its way back to MI Buck
lere as the Anderson company was only acting IN
the capacity Of agent.
