Mr.. Rockefeller Has $lO0,0O0.OOO
in United States Government Bonds

New York, lyov. 1S.-There is
current in. Wall street the amazing re
port that join ID. Rockefeller has
slowed away In the vaults of the
standard Trust company at 25 Broad
street, 100000. 900 worth of govern
ment bonds. If this be true-and
those who recite the tale assert that
there can be no question about the
authenticity of its source--John ID.
Rockefeller is creditor 10 the United
States government to the extent of
little less than one-ninth of the in
forest bearing debt of the people.
The aggregate of government inter-
est bearing debts is s925,15S,650.
II It is true that Rockefeller is
boarding 500. 100000 worth of gov
eminent bonds, the complaint of
bankers. that they are unable to raise
currency, would seem to have con-
siderable weight.
Wealth In Great Steel Cavern.
The vaults OF the Standard Trust
company are the largest in New York.
II Is said that Rockefeller has one
vault. or room of steel caverns as
large as the average business mans
office. and that in this room he keeps
his wealth locked up.
Rockefeller is said to have visited
Wall street three times the last
month, and on each occasion is said
to have gone to his storing room and
taken out securities upon which mon
ey has been raised. on one of these
visits, 1t is reported, he showed two
visitors to the vaults his hoard OF
bonds.

A Correction.

From Capt. w. S. Mullins, ot
the Columbus Rifemen, THE
COMMERCIAL is informed that it's
article in last Thursdays issue
regarding the local Military CON-
pany being short of the number
OF men as required by a new rul-
ing of the Navy Department is
incorrect as far as it applies to
the members. He states that the
local company has an enlistment
of nearly sixty men, and he car
ried that member to the Gulfport
Encampment last year. The
was intended to enthuse
interest in what was supposed to
be a weak organization; and we
are not only glad to correct the
error, but to learn that the Rifle
men is a very strong company.

Small Blaze; No Damage.

The fire department was called
out at twelve O'Clock Saturday
by an alarm being turned in
from the residence Of Mrs. NJ. E.
Curry, on College street. The
cause Of the blaze was the ex-
plosion OF a toy magic lantern
belonging to Master Dodson
Curry, the flames spreading to a
basket Of clothes close Oy, and a
great deal Of excitement was
caused therefrom.
The fire was extinguished by
the employees Of Jacobs Machine
Shop before the arrival of the
department and before any great
damage was done.

M'NAIR HAD TO
PAY CASH FARE
Conductor Refused to Accept
Pass From Commissioner.

A Jackson special says: The
rigidity with which the railroads
are enforcing the free pass
clause of the Hepburn law is IL
| lustrated by the experience OF
| Chairman S. ID. McNair, of the
Mississippi Railroad Commission,
while returning from a trip to
! Memphis a few days since
The passes issued to the Rail-
road Commissioner for 1907 are
limited exclusively to passage
within the State, and contain a
| clause providing that they shall
not be used for a part of an
interstate journey. Memphis is
usually considered a part of
Mississippi, but when Mr.. McNair
presented his pass to an Illinois
Central conductor, that official
refused to accept it, holding that
the Commissioner was on an
interstate journey, having start
ed in Tennessee for a point in
Mississippi.
As a result the Commissioner
was compelled to pay cash fare
from Memphis to jackson. He
could have saved a portion of the |
sum by paying to the next stop, |
getting off the train and then
resuming the journey, but this
method did not suggest itself to
him until the conductor had col
-ected cash fare for a trip of
something over 200 miles.

Sl.OO A YEAR
H0BSON SPEAKS AT
NEW YORK MEETING
DELIVERS Principal Address Be-
fore Peace Society.

A New York special, dated
february l, says: Capt. Rich
N, d p. Hobson. of Alabama,
wasNhe principal speaker at a
mass meeting of the Peace So
ciety of New York City tonight.
Coptain Hobson among other
things said:
With the approach of the
/ second The Hague conference it
IS OF great Importance that the
whole attention of the world be
turned to peace.
The business that is so selfish
cannot grow to a large propor-
ton and is destined to fail; the
corporations that persist in op-
pressing viii be ground to pow
der; the nation that remains
isolated and depends upon arma-
ments to exploit weaker people
will lose its colonies, will lose the
of the world, and lose
It's own standing among the
great nations.
1t is my opinion that the sue
cess of the great movement for
peace will be secured by foil lsy-
ing the path already mapped out
oy America at home, providing
an international constitutional
system that guarantees to each
nation complete charge of its
own local affairs of the world,
md will secure it from aggres-
'lon by others. We have worked
,ut the system in our life, and
ire thus constituted the logical
eader in constructing a similar
ystem in the world.
AS a practical man | realize
hat our standing and influence
With military powers that would
end to ignore arbitration, must
.epend upon our navy. There
; no question in my mind that
he surest safeguard against the
ctual outbreak OF war for our
elves, and for the world, would
e thesnaval power in the hands

Nothing will relieve Indigestion that
is not thorough digestant. K0dol di-
gests what you eat ald allows the

digestive acids and as nearly as possi-
BILE appEoximates the digestive juices
that are found in the stomach. KODOL
taxes the work of digestion off the di-
gestive organs, and while performing
this work itself does greatly assist the

such as to make it a corrective Of the

SmaII Delinquent List

We learn through Sheriff Eg-
gIeston that the delinquent poll
tax list for 1907 will be the small
est for many years past, the CITY
list especially being nearly per-
feet.
This is probably due to two
causes. One being the activity
of local candidates, and the other
the interest growing out Of the
Governorship and United States

EXCELLENT RIFLE
RANGE LOCATION
Columbus Can Offer a Sif9
Second to None.

Since Vicksburg has secured
the State Rife Range there ha.
been much dissatisfaction in the
ranks of the Militia in the
state over the selection, as the
site is not at all suitable for the
purpose, and a close investiga-
tion will prove this, There has
been some suggestions that a
second Range be located in
another section of the state; and
the idea seems to be winning
favor with the parties interested.
AS is well known Columbus was
an applicant for the location, but
the offer was refused, although
the place selected is inferior in
every respect to that in this city.
Major 0. NJ. Lawrence of this
city, a member of the Governors s
staff, and an ardent Military ad-
vocate, has interested himself in |
this matter and visited several
pieces Of property to ascertain
their desirability for a Range
should one be located in Colum- |
bus, and has found an ideal spot
Tor the purpose. 1t is the George
Evans property, located 3 miles
northeast of Columbus, on the
Military road, composed of $50
acres, now owned by Mr.. w. T.
Lawrence, and can be bought at
a reasonable price The follow
ing advantages are offered:
1t has all the natural advanta-
ges Of an ideal rifle range, with
ample camp, drill and parade
grounds.
It is high, dry, well drained ,
and perfectly level table land.
bounded on the extreme north
and west by an unusually high
range of hills which could bel
as a back ground for the !
targets; the one-thousand yard Z
range to run due north and South. IA
affording the best possi- =
Ole light. S
1t is nearly all cleared land, t
sodded with Bermuda grass and Il
now used as a pasture.
Artesian water can be secured
1t a depth of $50 feet, as one S
within thirty yards of the place l
S yielding fine flow at a few n
,eet less than the above. il
The property is located on the b
Military Road, which c,
va made by Andrew jackson 7
me his army on their return n
lome after the battle of NewT
Orleans during war of 1912.
LuXapalila creek is at its wild
st here and passes through the
corner of this property
or more than a quarter of a II
nile. F
The Southern Railroad between =
Columbus and Birmingham goes Fl
trough the property and already CT
ave two lengthy side tracks B
DING to gravel pits some dis al
ance away.
All these and more advantages
re offered as location for the
