 Mir. Nesbit gave out hts statement on July S. 1908. calling attention to the proposed increase of rates on cer- tain manufactured articles from Ala hama points to the territory west of the Mississippi river. including Texas points.
 The statement given out by MF. Nes- bit indicated that the increase in rates effective August 10 would ''aeriously affect the ability of certain of our manufacturers to sell their nFoduets in the. territory west of the Mississippi river"
 If commissionar Nesbit had been correct In the statement alluded to. it would, indeed, have been serious matter, and would have appeared to be a suicidal policy on the part of the railroads and would have convieted the railroad officials Of taking an ac- tIon which would prevent the move ment of certain freights from Aiabama points to the territory alluded to-- thus depriving such carriers of all revenue from such products,
 A well known railroad ofncial who was interviewed on the subject Raidi
 The proposition that the railroads would so fix rates as to prevent the movement of freights from points on their linea is so absurd that such 6 statement fs really unworthy of cenr sideration. However, so many erron- eous ana misleading statements are published by politicians from time ,te time and the people have bean in the past so prone to accept ali such state ments without stopping to think that 1t seems to be essential to correct such erroneous statements. no matter how absurd they may appear.
 "Railroad companies can only make money by the transportation of men and things. If the managers of rail- road properties were so short-sighted as to fix rates so that the products on their lines could not move in com petition with products on the lines of other railroads. the railroad so axtng rates would be overgrown with weeds in a very few months. The interests Of the railroads and the communities served by them are necessarily mutual and inter dependent One cannot proa- per while the other languishes.
 The shippers of Alabama realize this and they are not tearing their hair about the proposed slight increase in rates between certain points The shippers realize that the railroads are the largest purchasers of lumber, coal. iron, steel and many other things in the world, and that any action taken by the government. State or Federal, which hampers the railroads. injurious Iy affects all business interests. What the shippers want Is good service. They want the railroads to be permitted to earn a fair and just return upon the value of their properties so that they may be able to furnish to the public good service. They realize that their interests and the interests Of the rall- roads are common. and they are get ting tired of having railroads and rail- road rates being made the subject of constant political agitation"

MAKES REPLY
 TO NESBIT President Smith Answers Railroad Commission. ERRORS IN HIS INTERVIEW New Rates Put All on the Same
 Levels. Declares That the Alabama szanufae- turer Has Exactly the Same Chance For Western Busiaess AS He

President Milton H. Smith. of the Louisville and Nashville. yesterday for warded a statement from his Louisville ofice denying and re- plying to the statement of Hon. W. D. Nesbit. a member of the Alabams Railroad Commission, which was pulp lished in The Advertiser and other Ala- bana papers.
 Tn his statement Commissioner Nss- bit declared that manufacturers of the mineral district of Alabama who sold goods west of the Mississippi were discriminated against in favor of man. ufacturers west of the Mississippi. President Smith takes immediate issue with that statment. He points out that the same increase affecting Ala bauaa manufacturers affect at the same time manufacturers living west of the Mississippi His statement follows;

 "My attention has been called to statement of Hon. W. D. Nesbit. As- soclate Member of the Railroad Com mission of Alabama, published on the sth instant, in which he Invites the att tention of manufacturers in the Bir- mingham district to the increase in rates into Texas, that will seriously affect the ability of certain of our nanutaetuFers to sell their products in the territory west of the Mississippi river; and ha also expresses . desire that shippers, whose business Is ad- versely affected. communicate with the commission.
 syrhe advance in the rates Of frany- partation upon property shipped from the Birmingham district to Texas ia the same as from other points with which the Birmingham district com petes; the same as from St. Louis. The relative adjustment. therefore. remains unchanged. and 1t follows that the in- tsrests of the manufacturers, who sell their products in the territory west of the Mississippi river. will not be un- faverably affected.

The Old Maid.

In almost every circle of our
kindred there has been some queen
of self-sacrifice to whom jeweled
hand was offered in marriage, but
who staid on the old place because
of the sense of filial obligation un-
til the health was gone and the
attractiveness of personal presence
had vanished. Brutal society may
call such oae by nickname. God
calls her daughter, and heaven calls
her saint.
We like to sing the praises of
the 1isterhood who remain unmar-
ried that they might administer
to aged parents. The brutal world
calls these self sacrificing ones pc
culiar or angular, but if you had
had as many annoyances as they
have had Xantippo would have
been an angel compared with you.
1t is easier to take care of five roll
licking, romping. children than of
one childish old man. Among the
best women are those who allow
ed the bloom of life to pass away
while they were caring for their
parents. While other maidens were
sound asleep they we're soaking the
old man S feet or tucking up the
covers around the invalid mother.
While other maidens were in the
cotillion they were dancing atten-
dance upon rheumatism, and spre ID
ing plasters for the lame back of
the septenarian. and heating catnip

Pentecostal Herald.
Think of the United States with
a president who does not believe
that Jesus Christ was the Son of
God, but looks upon our immac-
ulate Saviour as common bastard
and low, cunning impostor! What
must Mr.. Taft's feelings be toward
our civilization, which is so per-
meated and interviewer with the
religion of Jesus Christ? Take
Christ, the inspiration of His gos-
pei, His sacrifice and His church
out of our national history ana life,
and what would we have lett Try
to imagine the discovery and CIV
llizatlon OF this great continent
passing through Its many trials
and conflicts without the ministers
of Jesus and His grace. Take His
name and power out of our civiliZa-
ton, tear away the churches which
have been erected for his worship,
the schools that have been erected
to His honor, in which His teach
lngs have been repeated and en-
phasized, blot out the charitable
institutions which have sprung up
out of devoted love for him, take
His name out of our literature,
His praise out of our songs, His
doctrines from out society and
homes, His promises from the foun-
dalton OF our hopes and His love
from our hearts, and what would
be left? Are we ready, by cleo
ting this commonplace unDeliever
our chief magistrate, to repudlate
our faith in the worlds Redeem
er? Will we dare the reckless
risk of crucifying the Son OF God
afresh; will we, after all OF our
preaching His word, praise OF Him
and praying to Him. put Him to
open shame before the civilized and
heather world? What would Europe
think of US? l venture TO say that
civilized Europe would not think
of putting the crown upon head OF
a man who denied the Messlahshlp
of Christ. How would our mi :
sionaries answer the questions OF
shrewd and smiling heather who
must inquire how 1t is that your
Christian nation has elected man
to the presidency who has no more
faith in Jesus Christ than ma
ked savage.

daughter should marry WE'LL" to
use a current phrase. But much
depends upon how we interpret the
word well. Usually it is applied
to young mans income or finan-
cial possessions. When this isl the
case, the standard used is an unfor-
tunate one. There is not more
cruel standard by which to measure
young man than the position he
is able to offer the girl of his
choice. We do not advocate the
love in a cottage theory, by any
means, but we do believe in the
good old fashioned theory of a young

climbing upward together. A young

TAFT'S RELIGION.
Newton Miss Record.

Newton (MlSS. RECORD.
Taft the republican nominee for
president is being attacked from
many sources on account of his re-
ligious faith. He is Unitarian,
which denomination does not be-
lieve in the divinity of Christ.
According to Watson's Theological
Dictionary, "Unitarians, a COM
prehensive term, includes all who
believe the deity to subsist in one
person only. The chief article in
the religious system of the Unita-
rians is that Christ was mere man.
But they consider him as a great
instrument in the hands of God
reversing all the effects of the fall;
as the object of all the prophesies
from Moses to his own time as
the great bond of union to virtuous
and good men. who as christians,
make one body in peculiar sense. "
Commenting on the same subject,
the Magnolia Gazette says: Re-
ligious bodies in some of the nor
thern and middle western states
are more or less concerned over the
fact, recently developed, that the
republican nominee for the presi-
dency is a Unitarian.
Briefly stated, the doctrine of
Unitarianism is that of the Father
hood God and the Brotherhood of
Man. The sect wholly discounts the
idea that Jesus Christ was divine,
but its adherents contend that he is
the greatest man from a moral
standpoint the world has ever known.
They follow the principles of moral
ity and religion which he establish
ed, but they do not worship him.
They contend that Christ's faith
in God was supreme and they seek
to emulate him in that particular.
In other words. the Unitarian has
the faith OF Christ, but he enter
tains no faith IN Christ. Hence
they are not Christians within the
strict meaning of the term. 1T
has been pointed out, that should
Mr.. Taft be elected, for the first
time in the history of the United
States. man who is not a believer
in the divinity of Christ will be
president.

accept the doctrine Of the divinity
Of Christ SO plainly taught in the

Judging by the general ring of
the article appearing under that
portion of it, the McHenry News,
is patronizing one of the Ready
Made editorial bureaus. Usually
the opinion prevails that a news
paper is in a pretty poor fix, that
has to have its editorials done away
from home. If a man is qualified
to assume the tripod of a sheet,
he should be qualified to and not
too lazy, to do the editorial ramifi
caions. That editor is out West for
his health, however, and possible
his supernumary hasn't yet got
bold enough to venture to commit
his pen products to a cold and cruel
journalistic world. Maybe too he
is afraid that he would fall into
the clutches of that heartless Holt.

The Sea Coast Echo of Bay St.
Louis is another of the weeklies
of this region that manages to
timber out editorialless. Guess its
editor finds that a good way to
keep out of hot water. Be they
ever so weak or non acceptable,
our observation is that there is a
demand by every papers clientele
for limited amount of editorial
expression. The readers like to
know whether the editor agrees or
disagrees with them on the numer-
Gus perplexlng propositions con-
stantly bobbling up; what he thinks,
though they cuss him for acknow-
lodging that he thinks it. Possibly
Bro. Moreau finds it otherwise and
devotes that space to news matter.
