compares his achievement to that of
David who SO greatly astonished the
over-confdent Goliath.
AS David managed that fight when
nothing but "a new beginner" and after
wards accomplished much greater things
SO Harvie, as modest as he is beautiful,
leaves us to infer that after he gets his
hand in he will win much more bril-
liant victories than that which he has
just won over the money-kings of Wall
Street.
Harvie's plain, short, and simple re-
cital of his own heroic efforts during
these last two years came very near to
throwing us into one of Our fits. He tells
of how "the enemy" subsidized the news
papers and ''shrewd attorneys" He tells
how the enemy lied about him and SLAM
dered him and abused him. He does not
even except Joe Hoadley. He says that
his conscience was with him all the way
through, and that he fought on with the
courage of faith, even when his own
friends thought he was too noisy He
says that he was often beaten to the
knees" but that he never kissed the
ground" This is remarkable proof
of unAinching fortitude, but we believe
every word of it. He says that he was
determined Ito win or die" and we be-
lieve that, too. He says he knew that
S'the scars of the conflict would abide
with him to the end Of life" but in spite
of this he "squared' himself "for the en-
counter" We believe it, firmly.
Harvie then tells us that after awhile
his elbows began to tell" the enemy
weakened, Estate after state fell into
1ine," and at last, at last, the hard fought
field was won.
Now what is the victory? Please don't
laugh.
The victory consists of the fact that
Herbert Knox Smith, y. S. Commits
sioner, has REPORTED, officially, that
the members of the New York Cotton
Exchange are gamblers who actually
gamble for their own benefit! !!
Heavens above, what a triumph for
Harvie! When did anybody ever sup
pose that the New York Stock Exchange
was anything else than huge gambling
hell? When did anybody ever doubt that
gamblers gambled for the benefit of
themselves?
Harvie has not even advanced as far
as Congress did in 1928, when we
threshed out all the facts touching gam
bling in futures, and passed through the
House of Representatives the Hatch An
ti-option bill, which the Senate killed.

How long will it be before the people
of Alabama will want to know something
about the relations between Hobson and
the Steel Trust?
Over in Texas there has been the hot
test kind of fight between Joe Bailey's
friends and enemies, the accusation
against Joe being that he is Standard
Oil Senator.
Yet, so far as the Congressional Rec
ord discloses, Senator Bailey has never
been half so anxious to serve the Stand
ard Oil gang as Eobson has always been
to serve the Steel Trust.
For several years Hobson, who is
poor man, has been travelling over this
benighted land telling us how desperately
we need bi1lion-dollar-navy. He has
butted in at all sorts of public meetings,
asking for time in which to deliver his
childish war-scare speech for the big
navy. He has devoted his time and his
labor to this business as though he were
employed by somebody.
Now that he is in Congress, he is more
frantic than ever, trying TO get new Dat
tleships ordered, so that the Steel Trust
can pile up more millions of net profits.
What are Hobson's relations to the
Steel Trust?
Recent Investigations in Congress have
established the fact that the Holland Sub
marine Boat Co. kept a lobby at work
in Washington, and employed such men
as Gen. M. c. Butler of South Carolina
and the notorious knave, Marion Butler,
as "Attorneys" to press the merits of the
Submarines on Congress.
What the Holland Company got is but
a drop in the bucket compared to what
the Steel Trust gets.
Has Hobson ever been in the employ
of the Steel Trust?
HE ACTS LIKE 1T.
In the building of our battle-ships there
will never be any more competition
among the steel plants. Bonaparte kill
ed competition, three years ago, when he
awarded part of the work advertised to

afterwards saw two of his staff, both
of whom said they had heard him ex-
press himself in the same way. There
may nave been times when Gen Lee
elated by some of his surprising Sue
cesses felt hopeful about the triumph
of our cause. From the probabili-
ties based on numbers and resources,
his judgment may have been warped
away now and then by the feeling he
expressed when, after second Manas-
sas, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg and
ncellorville, he said: No general
ever commanded such troops as
those under me- But mis- mind was
too mathematical in its workings,
and all its calculations were too ha-
bitually based upon what could be
done with a given number of men and
a certain amount of material, to make
him forget the vast disparity between
the contestants, or hope for ultimate
triumph. His expression in his IL
nal order that his brave army had at
last been forced to yield to over
whelming numbers and resources'
epitornized the realization of the fear
he had felt from the beginning.

the opinion of many democrats that

500 BALES SOLD FOR 1852
The First Break in the Union Ranks
for Fifteen-Cent Cotton-Several
Thousand More Bales Stored in
Warehouse May Be Sacrificed
Morning Times SPECIAL


Van Burcn, Ark, Jan. I8-After
all the resolutions and promises
made by the members Of the Farm
ers' Union of this place, the first
break occurred in the ranks today
when 500 bales were sold from the
local warehouse for 1902 cents, the
largest single sale Of the season It
is sa d that there are still severa
thousand bales more stored in the
warehouse, whic:. may be sold on ad-
vance
The action of the local Union has
been learned by the national leaders
of the Farmers Union and many tclc
grams Of protest have been received
Besides these many of the Unions
of nearby towns and cities have sent
kilograms of condemnation on the
sale, and wide disruption of the Un
ion. at least IN this state, may re
suit
The local Union defends its ac-
tion and sale by the claim that the
members were not in a position to
hold ont any longer for I5-cent cot
ton, and had their circumstances
been better situated the cotton would
not have been sold under the agreed
price The storm OF protest received
may cause the local members to con
slider for a longer time the sale of
the thousands OF bales now stored IL

RUSSIAN OFFICER

Washington, Jan. IS.-It NOW devel-
ops that Commander Diatcheff, one
of the commanders in the Russian
navy, is following the American feet
on its tour. No denial to this is
made by the Russian embassy, and
that he is going to learn what there
may be worth reporting of straget
ic Importance. He is not attached
to the fleet. and no permission has
been given him by the United States
authorities to follow the fleets move
ments.
While the near presence of the
Russian navy commander is known
to the Officers of the feet, his pres
ence IS causing much speculation in
Washington, and the question is
why should the Russian government
believe the tour of the fleet OF such
importance as to send an attachee
along for observations purposes,
Some wise ones say that Russia is in
possession of facts that point to a
soon conflict with the Japanese, but
this is discredited by as many others
who are in equally as important posi-
tons in the government service and
claim to know what is going on in
diplomatic circles.

HOW GEN. LEE BESTOWED
HIS CONFIDENCE


The human memory IS very won
derfu1 faculty and often plays us sad
recall at need matters that we know
we have securely stored away, and
sometimes responding to our dc
mands the memory picks up and
mixes with facts lot of items that
are not portions of the events in
questions of the events in question,
but were mental remarks and reflec-
tions made upon the events, but were
no part of them.
This sort of thing seems to have
happened to various persons in col-
nection with the civil war. They
mingle thoughts with occurrences to
scuh an extent that they find it i'm
possible to separate them, and while
their desire and determination to
be accurate are not questioned, they
are carried away by their own sub
consciousness.
Every person who was officially and
socially near to Gen. R. E. Lee tes-
titles to his extreme reticence and
self control under all circumstances,
and yet we hear of persons who
did not enjoy any special intimacy
with the great soldier, but only saw
him strictly on business, being made
the recipients OF the most remarka
bic condolences To such it would
appear that in occasional meeting he
would open his heart when it was d

ates
General John B. Gordon, in mis-
book on the civil war, has been
ruundly criticised for claiming to
have been the recipient of the great
generals condolences, and now comes

remarkable statement printed in the
January Circle. 1t is as follows:
MY last official intercourse with
Gen. Lee was on the retreat. I was

President Davis. and reached MIN

General Lee spoke, he gazed into the
bed of Goals as if weighing every

and when he heard that I had passed
