We admire oar moss laden live
oaks and we point them out to visi-
tors whose interest is excited by their
solnber beauty. On the White Bluff
road there are many of these ma
jestic trees. and in places they COM
pletely arch the road, shutting out
the sunlight and making a mOss-coy-
cred avenue There are but few
places in the country where anything
similar to these avenues can be seen
AS they are so picturesque and SO
uncommon, care should be taken 10
preserve them. That can be done o.
course only by preserving the oaks
Recently our attention was called
to the fact that the trees along the
White Bluff road-that is. the live
Oaks-were dying, the cause assigned
being the moss. with which, they are
so completely covered But little
space is left for leaves. Consequently
the trees cannot get enough air, not
enough for the food they obtain
through their leaves. This year the
crop of moss is said to be unusually
large, and consequently the trees are
showing more evidences of a lack Of
vigor than for a long time
The live oak lives under favorasSe
conditions for hundreds of years. IL
is alleged that the oaks at MOntgom-
cry were there and were imposing
trees, in Oglethorpes time. They arc
vigorous now and show no symphony
of decay. They are not so heavily
handicapped with moss as are Tn.

nOuement. To think that a simple, old
fashioned planter from the cotton
fields of Mississippi could originate
such a plan to Outwit the two ablest
political tricksters in the senate!
Langdon eyed his colleagues tri-
umphantly.
Peabody. however, was thinking
quickly. He was never beaten until
the last vote was counted on roll
call. He knew that. no matter how ap-
parently insurmountable an opposition
was. a way to overcome it might often
be found by the man who exercises
strong self control and trained brain.
This corrupt victor in scores of bitter
political engagements on the battlefield
of Washington was now in his most
dangerous mood He would marshal
all his forces. The man to defeat him
now must defeat the entire senate ma
chine and the allies it could gain in an
emergency: he must overcome the
power of Standard Steel; he must fight
the resourceful brain of the masterful
Peabody himself.
Peabody whispered to Stevens. I'VE

Then the Pennsylvania advanced.

hand.

The polished hypocrites looked at
him. too astOnished to move.
How? What?" they gasped.
Swept on by his own enthusiasm
and the force of his own courageous
honesty, the voice of the southerner
rose to oratorical height.
This afternoon he exclaimed.
when the naval base committee
makes its report l will rise in my
place and declare that for once i'm the
history of the senate men have been
found who place the interests of the
government they serve above any
chance of pecuniary reward These
men are the members of the naval

with this idea in view, realizing
that dishonest men would try to make
money out of the government. these
members of the naval base committee,
after they settled on Altacoola, went
out quietly and secured control of all
the land that will be needed for the
naval base, and these men secured
this at very nominal figure. Now
they are ready to turn over their land
to the government mt exactly what
they paid for it without cent of
profit.
