manding only s946, 900 in appropria-

Any one reading the testimony of
John D. Rockefeller, who last week
gave what purported to be the true
story of the Standard Oil Company
from the date of it's foundation up
to the present, before a court of JUS
tice in New York, would be led to
believe that the Standard is really an
eleemosynary institution, and exists
for the soul purpose of benef1ting the
people by giving them good oil at a
moderate cost Mr.. Rockefeller fail
ed to tell, however, of the many ne
farious schemes to which the COM
pany has resorted in order to increase
its profits He did not tell how the
Standard Oil, after having secured
freight rebates that enabled them to
sell oil in certain territory cheaper
than any one else, drove out their
competitors by cutting prices, and
immediately competition was destroy
ed advanced prices to outrageous pro-
portions, charging more for oil than
had been charged by independent
concerns before they had been driven
out The willy and oily John was
careful not to mention any of the
questionable acts of Standard officials
in seeking to influence political ap
pointments and to control senator's
and other high officials,
but told only OF legitimate business
transactions.
In view of facts brought out in
the recent presidential campaign, it
is hardly likely that the people will
believe what Mr. Rockefeller has said
and the only effect of the testimony
will be to impair whatever reputa-
ton for veracity he may have hith-
erto enjoyed.

way that most really bad men carry
them. The hip pocket more fire.
quently holds a flask than S)uling
piece, and the imbibers would be
more seriously inconvenienced by the
absence of these pockets than the
men intent upon murder Besides
there is no more dangerous weapon
in existence than the derringer, and
this miniature instrument of death
can be carried in the vest pocket, SO
if a man has murder in his heart
there will never be any great diff
Guilty in securing an effective weapon.
One Of the surest ways to prevent
crime is TO elect TO every Office men
who will fearlessly enforce the law,
and not shield men, even though they
nit murders or other grave crimes.
Human life has come to be a cheap
commodity in the South, and Iaxity
il enforcing the law is largely re-
sponsible for this exceedingly deplor-
able state of affairs. Under present
conditions any man with money or
a good. strong political pull can shed
human blood with impunity, know
ing full well that even though con-
victed by the courts men high in au-
thority will see that he is released
If murders in the South are to
cease and human life is to be held
in as high regard here as il is in
other parts of the country, the laws
must be enforced, and we must elect
to office, not scheming politicians who
seek public preferment for private
gain. but honest, fearless men who
have the interests of the country
at heart. and who will prosecute all
violators Of the law without fear
or favor.

Birmingham is running Memphis
a hard race for first place in the
great Southern municipal graft con-
test. Birmingham needed lot for
a dumping ground, and Alderman
John C. Forney arranged deal by
which he would have cleaned up sew
eraI thousand dollars had his plans
gone through Alderman Forney had
an option on piece of property In
East Birmingham for SIG, 900, and
through a friend, Felix L. Tarrant,
he offered the property to the city
for $4,000. The committee to whom
the matter was referred recommends
ed the purchase of the property, but
Mayor Ward learned that Alderman
Forney was in some way connected
with the land deal, and an investi-
cation followed. The investigation
revealed the fact that the land could
he purchased from the owners for
$4,000, and that had the scheme OF
Alderman Forney gone through as
planned he and his associates would
have made a profit of $4,000 out OF
the city.
Mayor Ward communicated this
information to the council, and all
negotiations were declared off, the
mayor in the meantime having Sc
cured an option on the property in
behalf of the city for $4,000. When
the facts in the case came to light
Alderman Forney was SO deeply NOR
tilted that he rendered his resignation
as a member of the city council, but
afterward reconsidered the matter
and withdrew the resignation.

THANKSGIVING.

Next Thursday will be Thanksgiv-
ing day, and while times are pretty
hard we still have much to be thank
fdl for. Money is scarce in this Sec
tion, terribly scarce, but the suffering
and deprivation that the closing down
of factories and mills has brought
upon the people of the East has not
manifested itself here. The great
wealth of the country is centered in
the East, and there also is found the
great mass of laborers who depend
upon their weekly wage for the food
that they eat. The South of course
has its poor people, many of them in
fact, but they are not so entirely de-
pendent upon financial conditions
and whims of capitalists as their
Northern brethren. While the man
ufacturing industries of the South
are growing in number each year.
agriculture is and always will be
the principal pursuit. and the man
out of work in the city can always
secure a tract of land large enough
TO yield a support for himself and
family, if energetically cultivated
This makes the South the poor mans
paradise, and the fact always i'm
presses itself upon the people during
a period of financial stringency such.
as we are now experiencing.
'Tis true that the recent presiden-
aia1 election did not go to suit US,
fDut if the predicted era of prosperity
is to come as a result of Judge Taft's
election the South will derive some
benefit, for in the recurrent activity
in building operations she Will be
called upon to furnish both iron and
.simber, while the resumption OF work
in the great cotton mills ought to
send the price of the staple higher,
though as yet there has been only a
small advance, when many people
thought that the election of Taft
meant an immediate advance in the
market.
The South may not be advancing
as rapidly as she was a few years
ago, but she's holding her own, and
we ought to be thankful for that.

QUEER TITLES.
Bestowed on His Favorises by an EN-

Bestowed on His Favorises by an Em-
peror ef haiti.
Among the whimsical titles which
appear on the pages of national history
few are more apparently frivolous than
the Duke of Marmalade. the Count OF
Lemonade and the Earl of Brandy.
They are or were. however, real titles
bestowed by a genuine monarch on
three of his favorites. and that, too.
during. the last century.
In 1911 a revolution occurred in
Haiti. and Christophe, a negro, declared
himself emperor Through conspiracy
and plot, his life often attempted. he
retained power till 1920. preserving to
the last the pageantry of a royal court
and creating a numerous nobility.
Among them were the three already
mentioned, and the oddity of the titles
has suggested to many writer's the
frivolousnesS of the African character
In fact, however. all three names
were those of places, the first two be-
ing originally plantations, but latterly
towns of some Importance. This not
being generally known, a misapprehen-
sion has arisen with regard to the
titles themselves, which. however abb
surd, were scarcely more so than some
which were bestowed in France and
Germany during the middle ages

Liberty.

The spirit of liberty is indeed bold
and fearless spirit. but it is also a
sharp sighted spirit 1t is a cautious,
sagacious, discriminating, farseeing in
teIIigence. 1t Is jealous of encroach-
ment, jealous of power. jealous OF
man. 1t demands checks, it seeks for
guards, it insists on securities, it in
trenches itself behind strong defenses
and fortifies itself with all possible
care against the assaults of ambition
and passion. 1t does not rust the
amiable weaknesses of human nature,
and therefore it will not permit power
to overstep its prescribed limits.
though benevolence, good intent and
patriotic purpose come along with it.
Neither does it satisfy itself with
f1ashy and temporary resistance to IL
legal authority. Far otherwise. 1t
seeks for duration and permanence.
1t looks before and after, and, building
on the experience of ages which are
past, 1t Iabors diligently for the bene-
fit of ages to come.-Daniel Webster.

The Blue Sky.

The blue sky which reveals itself as
the hemispherical vault of the firma-
ment in the absence of clouds is the
far depths of the air sending back to
the observer some part OF the solar
illumination which they receive. The
light thus returned to the eye is ''blue~
simply because the particles of the air
are of such exceeding1 diminutive
size that they can effectively deal with
only the smallest OF the luminous vi
brations-that is. with the 'blue'' un-
duiations. There are few faint In
termingiings OF the other colored rays
in the blue OF the sky, but they are
In such trifiing quantity that the blue
swallows them up.
