The Louisville and Nashville freight shed across Lee street is about 535 feet long, and cost something like $40.000. Only about SS feet. say 1-6 of 1t will be to be removed in order to open this magnificent and much needed for the use of the public. How ridiculous then is the statement of those who oppose It's opening to say that 1t would cost the railorads hum dreds of thousands of dollars to remove this small portion of the freight shed.

Commissioner Reports S152.73 Larger
 Receipts Than Last Year.
 Hon. J. A. Wilkinson, State Commis- sioner of Agriculture and Industries, has prepared a statement that the re- ceipts from the sale of fertilizer taxes during the fiscal year 1so6-1907 were ss6.41s.eo, an increase of s152,73 over the preceding fiscal year.
 Commissioner Wilkinson stated that in his opinion the slight increase of the sales of fertilizers indicated an ex- tension of intensive cultivation rather than an increase of the acreage devot- ed to farming. The scarcity of labor, he said. is being met In part with the cultivation of fewer acres, fewer when their number is compared with the constant growth of agricultural indus tries and values.

EDITOR VINCENT, of the Reveille.
Linn Creek, is having a strenuous
time going after his esteemed con-
temporaries who published the mis-
leading and slanderous article on
Camden county, recently sent out
from Springfield. We did not pub
lish it, for it was a re-hash of odds
and ends for the past twelve months
or more, and looked rather yellow.
We are glad to know it was a false
story, and that the citizens of Cam
den are still enjoying peace and pros
perity, and crime is not on the in
crease, and punishment just as sure
there for the criminal as in any coun-
ty in the State. Camden is all right,
and continues her march to the front.

ONE DOLLAR

WHICH?

In doubling the size of the REPUB-
LTCAN we have nearly doubled its cost
and it is absolutely necessary that
every subscriber shall pay at least one
dollar. Beginning with Sept 1, 1907
our rates are S1.00 if paid in advance
and S1.50 if not paid in advance.
You can see by the date after your
name just where you are paid, and if
an arrears it will certainly be to your
interest to pay up and year in adj
vance, and we are confident that such
action will help us. Everything used
In printing office has gone up fully
as high as in any other line Of mer-
chandise, SO that now S1.00 per year
will not pay the cost of such a paper
as the REPUBLICAN, but we are willing
10 credit all who pay S1,00 in ad-
vance with a years subscription. All
subscriptions outside OF Morgan
county arc 81, ,25 cash, or if not paid
in advance $3.50, beginning with
Sept. 1. We cannot furnish any bet
ter paper than our patrons are willing
to pay for, and the more they pay US
the better will we make the paper.
We shall put our subscription list on
a cash in advance system just as soon
as possible, and discontinue every
subscription when the time paid for
has expired just as the big city papers
do. 1t is bound to come, so get
ready.

A Royal Martyr to Etiquette.

In Spain the etiquette to be observed
in the royal palaces was carried to
such length as TO make martyrs of
their kings. There is a historic in
stance. Philip III. was gravely seated
by the fire. The firemaker of the court
had kindled so great a quantity of
wood that the monarch was nearly
suffocated with heat and his grandeur
would not suffer him to rise from the
chair. The domestics could not pre-
sumo to enter the apartment because
it was against the etiquette. At length
the Marquis do Totat appeared, and
the king ordered him to damp the fires,
but he excused himself, alleging that
he was forbidden by the etiquette to
perform such a function, for which the
Due d'USseda ought to be called upon,
as it was his business. The duke was
gone out. The fire burned fercer, and
the king endured it rather than dero-
gate from his dignity. But his blood
was heated to such a degree that he
was seriously i'll the next day. A VIC
lent fever succeeded, which carried
him off in the twenty-fourth year of
his age.-London Standard.
