margin he can buy 10000 shares of National Stock

dislikes, but exists only for the purpose of accomplishing its great
end In any legal and honest way, determined to connect up with
American Shelters without the by-your-leave of the Guggenbeims;

mlrrored itself into the habtual state of "pubnc-be-damnedness"

the midnight kerosene digging out the facts and formulating plans
which when laid before him looked SO good to one of the Rookie

determination to go through with it to it's plainly evident destina-

band ready to board any Dollar enterprise which assures him big
profits for his capital.
1t should also be borne in mind that National Stock" cares
not a finger snap who it's fellow passengers are in the market voy-

profits to be made from the trip.
The result: With smelters selling at 81 1 began an adver-
Using campaign for its purchase, and it quickly mounted to 20,
where its quick rise and my advertising arrested the attention Of
two bold System plungers who concluded that it had risen solely
because of my work and not because of the unlimited buying of a
Rockefeller. These plungers laid out a campaign to sell Shelters
short. They were encouraged by certain powerful System men
who may or may not have been in league with the bull end Of the
campaign-but this is a story for a future advertisement-During
the past few weeks Wall Street has gazed open-mouthed at the

for its stockholders.
1st-It has great smelling plants scattered throughout the
United States, Canada, Mexico. When business is good it has the
products of the richest of the continents mines brought to its
doors, and it coins money for its stockholders. When business is
poor It takes out of the ground from its own mines their enormous
wealth, and-coins money for its stockholders.
2d-Through its extraordinary opportunities for insight into
the best mines on the continent II has been able to buy the very
richest OF them all and at bedrock prices, at bedrock prices be-,
cause 1t deals direct with the miners. and also because of this it
has been able to get together band of the best engineers and
experts, which in turn means that it will always have the best

System men who have encouraged them into slipping the moose

The present system of road working in Alabama is very tnnorv- lar in this section, on account nf tba very little work that is being done at seasons like this when they get into such bad fix. Three or four days o year-just before court meets--is ali the work some of the citizens claim they get.
 County politics is warming up in Houston, five good citizens are asking for the privilege of being custooian of the county's affairs for another year, and much work in the canvassing line is being put in by aspirants for the various offices.

 Rev. H. M. Edmonds, pastor of the church, then, in few short sentences, told the congregation of the beauty of Gunod's compositions. of their sim plicity and beauty of expression. Many of the great writers went to the Bible for their inspiration. but in this com position. to be sung this afternoon. both the inspiration and the words come directly from the Bible
 A free-will offering was then taken for the poor of the city. MT. Edmonds saying that it was the wish of the singers who were giving their services that such be done.
 ''Galia" was then sung. Mrs. Rienzi Thomas again took the leading soprano part, and her rendition was, IT poSsi- ble, better than that of the Sunday af- ternoon previous. Hers is highly dra- mat:c soprano voice. excellently trained, and in her rendition, brought out to the full the meaning of the composer.
