AT a meeting of representative mem
bers of the Christian congregations OF
the county held here Saturday tenta-
tive plans were put under way for the
erection of an orphanage in Columbia.
The orphanage will be located within
the corporate limits and will be an in
stitution of which the church can be
proud. Although the Finance commit
tee has not yet been named, or the
exact cost of the building determined,
1t is assured that a handsome struc-
ture will be built, and that it will be
sufficiently commodious to accommo-
date a large number of fatherless and
notherless children.
At present the Christian church has
no orphanage within the state, with
the exception of the Tanning school,
which does not admit children under
twelve years of age. Thus is sug-
gested the CRYING need of such an insti-
tuition as will be erected here. 1t IS
hardly probable that there is county
in. Tennessee that could not profitably
contribute to so worthy cause, and
it is known that local instances have
occurred to emphasize the need of an
orphanage.
While the plans for the orphanage
are IF present in the embryonic stage,
It is probable that the Christion con-
gregations of the state will be asked
to assist in its erection, and as many
OF them are wealthy a generous re-
Spouse to the appeal is certain. NO
nobler or more philanthropic work
could be undertaken, nor is there any
ENTERPRISE of a charitable nature that
will appeal more strongly to the hearts
and rocket books of those who have
been blessed with wealth. Many VINO
are not troubled with opulence VIII
make some sacrifice to have part in
this work.

ROBERT SCOTT LoVETT.

The election of Robert Scott Lovett
as chairman of the Executive commit
tee of the Union Pacific railroad In
sures no present change in the Harrl-
man policy and confers honor and dis
tinction upon a Southerner. Mr.. Low
EFT is credited with having first seen
the light of day in the wilderness OF
San Jacinto County, Texas where his
father, who had tired of the red hills
of his native state of Alabama, had
moved in the quest of fortune. HIS
early schooling, which was meagre,
was received at country school
house. although he afterwards worked
his way through college and won the
sheepskin of lawyer.
According to the financial dope on
the subject, the election OF Judge
Lovett. who was vice president ana
general counsel, to the position Oh
chairman of the Executive committee,
was in part due to the desire OF J. r.
Morgan to provide against the con-
tingency of panic by keeping quiet
Lovett stood nearer to Hartman than
any other and the placing of control
In his hands insures the carrying out
of the Hartman policies. 1t also
means the temporary ascendency OF
the Kuhn.Loeb-Standard OIL crowd.
Later on Mr.. Morgan may attempt TO
Harrimanize the system by giving
1ovett what Hartman gave Fish. But
the Texas school boy has grown into
man of infinite resource, and he is
likely to continue TO direct the des'
TIMES of the Union Pacific. So long
as he does he will stand as an ex'
ample worthy the emulation of the
barefoot boys of the South with am
bition and brains, and little else.

the LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

The News will not always be talk
ing about The News. We hope not
to weary our readers with that topic
Rut there are some matters OF general
policy which we think our readers VIII
be interested in, and which they are
entitled to know about.
TIE poiicy of this paper will be to
have no partnership, even of the re-
mostest kind, with the liquor tratfic;
and for that reason, when present
contracts have expired there will be
no more whiskey ads in The News.
Newspaper advertising pays. ANY
advertisement in The News will help
the business it advertises; and we
are not willing to contribute any part
to the upbuilding of the liquor trafnc.
The cunningly devised advertisements
written by hired servants of the

lies. We do not believe the vile

that it is good for the stomach. II is

League, rather than to sell 1t TO
nefarious traffic in league with the
devil to manufacture drunkards. II
there be those who differ with US
upon this question, we accord them
the same privilege we claim FOR our
selves, the right of differing.
In this connection there is another
policv The News will strictly adhere
to. We believe there is no law upon
the statute books of Mississippi more
fraught with good, more helpful to
humanity, than the law which pro-
hibits the sale of intoxicating drinks
in the state That law came out OF

The most moElenteus news event OF
the day is the death Of E H. Hartman
Al ais Arden home. OF such eonse-
ouence vas the demise OF this one
man that the hour OF dissolution was
kent secret until after the closing Of
the stock exchange, lest demoraltza-
ton and panic should ensue.

All this is financially speaking.
il was said of Hartman that his
dream was 10 convert the railroads OF
the world into single system. II ne
entertained this ambition, and per
haps he did. then he must be credited
with a dream of empire not second
even to that of Napoleon. Had ne

there are no more worlds TO conquer.

man did not receive a college educa-
ton. But early in life he was found
whetting his intellect on the wall

learned the game of taking chances.
He learned this game so well that
later in life he battled with such
-;ents of finance as the Vanderbilts,
Goulds, Keenes and many others, ana
generally successfully.
It was while broker on Wall street
that Hartman met Fish, who proved
stepping stone to his career, ana
who later made him a director in the
Illinois Central. 1t remained for Har-
riman to depose Fish from the presi-
dency of the road that he had built
nm and which he controlled. This is
hut one of many charges of ingrati-
tude registered against him during his
rise to power.

The alleged discovery of the North
Pole by those two hardy Adventures
Cook and Peary. has brought into the
lime light some less dashing and less
ambitious personages-the Eskimos.
To give the name of any particular
Eskimo who accompanied Peary and
Cook on their trip to the far north
would be a difficult task, yet these
neople are Joint discoveries of the
Earth's apex, and in addition are TOO
careless or modest to mention 1t.
Peary admits that there was an Eski-
mo with him when he undertook the
last spring poleward and Cook says
that he will hunt up his boon travel
ing companions and bring them to the
United States to verify his state
ments. Unwittingly, it is the gentle
Eskimo who holds the balance OF
mower in the controversy, and who Is

something. OF them the New York
Press says;
The Eskimos are the filthiest peo-
ple in the world They never wash
not even face and hands. The smell
of their fur clothing and secretlons
from the skin causes stink about
their persons, AMI especially in their
igloos and tents, that is unbearaole
to the tenderfoot.
Living in huts OF stone or Ice IN
winter. in sealskin tents In summer,
Eskimos never marry in the sense we
use this word, but mate like animals
SWIMMING of mates for an INDEFINITE
time is common. Furs are used TOT
the common family bed, and every
body from father to babe strips stark
naked before retiring.
Eskimos are all children, contented,
peaceable, honest and hospitapie'
without rulers and without ambition
for fame OF power. They live almost
entirely on raw animal food, and this
explains the absence of number or
diseases which are common to CIVIL
cation. Salt water contains iodln, ana
all sea animals as well as all who eat
them uncooked, absorb more or less
of this tickle chemical substance
Scurvy, so common and deadly
among early explorers, is totally I'M
known among Eskimos who eat raw
meat. This iodized raw food also ex-
Mains the absence of enlarged tonsils,
glands and goiter. Their perfect
splendid teeth and strong lower jaws
mark them completely carnivorous.
The exclusion of vegetable food has
shortened their intestine, and lndiges-
ton is unknown. One would suppose
their pure flesh diet would cause bib
iousness. etc. but the large percent
aye of oil in their food acts as
Gentle laxative and protects against

Esks' skin. though covered with
filth and vermin, is smooth as satin
