Where Was the DeacOnP

Deacon Jones, the great man of a
little village of Massachusetts,
whose outward piety was Of the
vociferous order, but whose charity
toward his fellow men was not so
Astounding as it might have been,
was dangerously i'll, and his brother
deacOns, impressed with the custom
of Issuing bulletins from the sick
rooms of prominent individuals, de-
cided To follow the fashion, with the
following results:

ious condition"
~ p. M. Deacon Jones has rail-
lied slightly"
"9p. m. Deacon Jones has suffered
relapse"
al p. IN. Deacon Jones has depart
ed for hea ven."
Thus the bulletins read at mid
night; but early In the morning some
unregenerate mortal who did not
love the Deacon, evidently passed
that way, for the light of new day
showed curious townspeople the
later report:

sis Florida soil to Blame?" Is the
heading of an article in New York
Produce News, signed Commission
Merchant. He seems to think the
reason Florida fruit does not ship as
well as California is In the soil and
fertilizer. We wonder II the gentle
man does not know that there are
times when fruit from nearly all
Florida groves does not carry well.
Then again two weeks later IT carries
and stands up all right. Soil and
fertilizers OF course have something
to do with fruit carrying well,
handling picking, packing, ETC.,
have more to do with II, dry cool
weather and wet hot weather at
shipping time also have lot to do
whit. 1t is the exception when
you find a grove In Florida from
which the fruit never carries all right

alternate praise and calumny heaped
upon Capt Wirz and the efforts of
the Daughters of the Confederacy to
show their belief in his high motives
and his death as a martyr urged them
to erect a monument in his honor.
The quarrel that arose over site
has but augmented the feeling that

OWNS TO CENTER or EARTH
Ownership of Land Has Been Decided
by the State Supreme Court in
Case From Walker County.

Case From Walker County.
The rights Of a land owner extend
to the center Of the earth downward.
just as they go to the sky upward,
according to a decision that has Just
been handed down by the state su-
preme court. The case arose over a
riparian question.
The case is that of j. C. Patten
VS.. w. B. Stoner from the superior
court of Walker county The two
own property bordering on the de-
cliVity leading from Lookout Noun
tain. StOner sued to prevent Patten
from interfering with subterranean
water plant, leading from Pattens
place to a spring where Stoner got
water, the spring being on still
third persons place. An injunction
was granted in the lower court,
which is reversed by the higher.
The ownership of land extends
indefinitely within the bowels of the
earth, says the court, and the
owner has exclusive proprietorship in
the water which seeps through his
soil and collects in the sub-strata as
to that water which falls from the
clouds upon the roof of his house
and is collected into a cistern, until
the percOlating water becomes a part
of a Well-defined stream"

WRANGLE over MONUMENT
THE QUESTION OF A LOCATION
FOR THE SHAFT TO MAJOR
HENRY NIRZ Is AGAIN Up.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-Upon the de-
sire of two, possibly three, Georgia
cities to furnish a site for the monu-
ment to Capt. Wirz, for whom it is
claimed that he lost his life in the
defense of Confederate President
Jefferson Davis, rests the reason for
the present fight among the mem
bers Of the Georgia division, United
Daughters of the Confederacy, that
has been caused by the monument
question.
At the regular convention of the
division in Savannah during the last
week in October, 1908, after the par
tisan fight of cities had made it i'm
possible for Andersonville, where
Capt WirZ' S service in the civil war
has placed the center of the discus
sion his name has caused since the
war closed, to be selected for his
monument Savannah delegates led
a fight in favor of Richmond and by
a very close vote the old capital of
the cOnfederacy was selected. How
fore wanted the monument kept af-
ter it, and now a called meeting of
the division will take up the ques-
ton of recOnsidering its selection,
and the monument may yet remain
permanently on Georgia soil.
Cities That Want Monument.
1t is very probable that those who
voted for Richmond will, if Rich
mond is put out OF the running, fight
for Andersonville, though Americas, |
Macon and possibly Atlanta will be
strong contenders. The called con-
vention will be held in Atlanta |
March 18th, and the meeting prom |
ises to be the most exciting the I
Georgia division, L. D. c., has |
known. The question has caused a |
sharp division, many claiming that !
reconsideration of the divisions de-
termination to place the monument |
at Richmond is now too late. that
advances have been made to Rich
mond that cannot be TeTacted.
The monument is in the stone
yard at Americas, where it was made.
Dates have been set for its shipment
to Richmond, and it was thought at
one time that the shaft would be
rushed out of the state and accept
ed in Richmond as one way to cut
the Gordian knot the problem had
tied.

PROPOSITION is A GOOD ONE
Creation of Commerce Court to Deal
with Railroad Regulation Would
Be of Much Avail.

Attorney General Wickersham's
speech at Kansas City outlines the
railway regulative legistion propos-
ed by the administration for the con
sideration of the next session. Much
of this has already been set forth by
President Taft in his recent speeches.
Some of it is new. AS whole it will
bring little comfort to that class which
is devoted TO the slogan of Let the
railroads alone!"
The leading proposition is for the
creation of a commerce court having
the powers and jurisdiction now held
by all district and circuit courts with
regard to the review or enforcement of
orders of the interstate commerce
commission This would materially
simplify the proceedings for remedy
through the commission. At present
the complaint for that body must first
go through the commission. Then APP
peals or stays are likely to be fought
through district and circuit courts up
to the supreme court. Moreover, II
has frequently been the case that the
law has been construed one way in
one circuit and the opposite way in
another. thus producing the anomaly
of having practically two different
laws in different sections of the same
country. Under this proposition sin
gle court would hear all appeals from
the commission, issue DEGREES of en-
forcement of its orders, and from
courts rulings appeals to the United
States supreme court would lie only
on constitutional questions. The value
of this change is unquestionable.

GAN oLD-FAsHloNED WINTER"

Those who believe that nature gives
various warnings in the fall when the
winter is going to be severe, are pre-
dieting a strenuous season for snow
and ice and low temperature. They
say that the wild birds which stay in
the north during the winter have un-
usually thick plumage. The shells of
nuts are reported to be heavier than
they are when a mild winter is coming,
and chestnut burrs are also of the
'old-fashioned winter" kind, if these
weather prophets are correct. Fur
bearing animals are more warmly
clad, according to the same wiseacres,
than they are before open winters,
and the bones OF geese make the same
prophecy. 1t is all very interesting,
but men who make the study of the
weather their life work and bring to
bear upon 1t all of the learning and
scientific resources of the age, utterly
reject these much trusted warnings
They are certain that there is nothing
in the whole theory of animal prep
arations, conscious or unconscious, for
differences in winters. They do not
believe that the trees grow more bark
or put thicker burrs on nuts because
'he winter is going to be severe. In
fact, the scientific experts who deal
with the climate seriously and with
infinite pains, in all civilized countries,
year after year, are sure that there is
no nature sign language which tells
the character of the weather months
in advance
