SOUTHERN EXPANSION.
Increased Exports of Manufactures,
as Well as Raw Materials.

Disinterested observation Of condi-
lions in the south serves to confirm
the conclusions reached as to the re-
markable economic transformation
going on in that section. Everything
goes to show the wonderful awaken
ing to the possibilities of material
development that has come to the
people of the south. It was as in
evitable that the new beliefs and as
pirations should find expression
through the southern senators and
representatives in congress as that
day should accompany the rising and
progress Of the sun. The south has
been almost wholly an agricultural
region, and its farming industries in
the past have been confined to few
staples. The new south sees not only
the extension of agriculture through
still greater production Of cotton, to-
bacco, rice and sugar, but an almost
endless variety Of articles contribut-
ing to the profits Of the growers. To

MYSTIC OVER OUTLOOK FOR
HIS SCHEME FOR REVENUE.

Washington, June 24.-President
Taft is decidedly optimistic over the
outlook for his corporation tax, but
a number of senators who called at
the White House yesterday declared
that the proposition would keep the
senate in session until long after
August 1. Senator Elkins was one
of the callers and declared that he
and others would have some remarks
to make in the senate when the new
scheme of taxation Is considered. Mr..
Elkins believes all corporations
would attempt to avoid payment OF
the tax.
President Taft, on the other hand,
does not believe that 2 per cent tax
on net earnings is heavy enough to
make any of teh larger corporations
resort to evasive measures. AS to
bonds, 1t is possible, the president
feels, to provide limit for the issu-
ance OF such securities, based upon
the capital stock. that will prevent
corporations from transferring all
their securities into bonds. the inter-
est on which is paid from gross earn
ings.
Provision may be made that the
interest shall be paid only from net
earnings on bonds issued henceforth.
Attorney General Wickersham and
Senator Root are jointly preparing a
draft of the new law.
Amendment Constitutional.
Questions as to the constitutionality
of the proposed tax do not disturb
the president. The right to impose
such a tax has been distinctly upheld
in a case before the supreme court
that of Spreckles against the United
States. If an income tax were passed,
injunctions against it's collection
could be secured because of the SUI
preme court decision declaring I'M
constitutional a former act of this
character. 1t would be years before
the collections could be made under
such a tax, even if the court finally
reversed itself.

Board Of Education Propose to Issue
S32 900 i'm Bonds for School Ad-
ditions- PaIisade to Have School
Building Within Year-Interest-
ing Meeting.

The mass meeting held in the pub
lie school auditorium at Fort Lee,
June 8, to consider the proposed addi-
tons to the Fort Lee and Coytesville
school buildings, was a most interest
ing occasion. The Board of Educa-
ton, through its president, Mr.. Rich
ter, had prepared itself with plans
and explanations, and Mr.. Richter
had his hands full trying to satisfy all
elements that what the board pro-
posed was right. The addition to the
Coytesville school was to cost SI3,5oo
and the four rooms to the Fort Lee
school were estimated at $I8, 500, a
total bond issue required of $32, ooo
Any kind of public meeting in Fort
Lee is sure to be interesting 1t is
very human little town, and the peo-
pie up there are very much interested
in the progress of the place. They
are willing to be taxed on public inn
provements of any kind, and show in
thousand ways an enthusiasm to be
commended. The school meeting
brought out some good talks and they
were mighty meaty talks at that The
Coytesville people wanted new
school, some of them. others wanted
of lacking on an addition to cost SI3,-
500 on an old building that cost only
$1,000 to start with. Architect Ernest
Sibley explained matters regarding the
additions, and brought out similar i'm
prOvements in other nearby bOroughs
The sense of the meeting being called
for, relative to endorsing the action of
the Board of Education resulted in
tie, and another meeting was called
for two weeks later. The boards pur-
pose is to get the work started during
the school vacation in order that there
may be the least interruption on &C
count OF the building operations.
If nothing else were accomplished
al this meeting it developed the fact
that the Fort Lee people are wide
awake, energetic and determined, and
are going ahead to win out as a fast
growing community. Palisade was
represented at the meeting by Messrs
George H. Frew. H. d. Douglas, V.
B. Kelly, A.. Tams, George Lane and
Charles T. Logan The announcement
was made by President Richter that
the school for Palisade would be pro-
vided for within the next year, which

AN INDIAN MURDERER.
His Fearful Punishment BY Primitive
Mexican Tribe

His Fearful Punishment by Primitive
Mexican Tribe.
Speaking of primitive law among
the Mexican Indians brings to mind a
curious case that was told me some
years ago in the state of Oaxaca by an
old Zapoteca chief who had become a
convert to Christianity.
He said that a long while ago an
American botanist was travelling
through the mountains Of Oaxaca
studying the rare and beautiful fora
OF that, region. He had with him a
mozo from another part of the coun-
try.
He carried several gold pieces sewed
IN the lining of his jacket. The mozo
became aware of that fact, and one
day when the botanist got down on his
knees to drink at little spring the
mozo cut his head off with a machete.
took the gold pieces and fed to the
higher sierras
Not long after the body was found
by some Zapoteca Indians who had
seen the botanist in former days
studying the flowers and plants near
their village. They knew that he was
a harmless and good man because he
loved flowers. All Mexican Indians
love flowers. So they took the body to
the chief and told him what they had
seen and found. ''Whatv' he said.
"Shall the kind stranger with the
White face who loved flowers and
sought not our goods nor insulted our
women come to such dogs death
among US and not be avenged?"
He then dispatched four swift In
dian runners in different directions
with orders not to return without the
murderer. After a weeks time they
returned bearing the malefactor bound
in their midst. A council Of old men
| was called. and the case was exam
med. The guilt of the mozo was prov
ed, as he still had with him the strange
pieces of gold.
Then the old chief gave the SEN
tence. It was speedily performed.
They led the trembling murderer to
the center of the little plaza. There
four green stakes were driven in the
ground. The murderer was stripped
naked and stretched by the wrists and
feet in the air among the four stakes,
to Which he was dashed. Then the In
dams made a great heap of unslaked
lime under the wretched mans body,
and when the heap touched his breast
and sides they poured water over it
until the scalding steam of the burn
ing lime had cooked all the flesh from
the bones. Then they took the bones
and threw them into hole on the
mountain side.
And so was the stain of the MUIR
dered mans blood covered and venge-
ance was wrought by the Indians in
behalf of 3'the white stranger who was
good and loved flowers Mexican Ex-

A FIGHTING WHALE.
Made splinters Of the Small Boats and
Sank the Ship.

Sank the Ship.
Among the tales Of the whale fish
cry told by John r. Spears in 1.-THE
Story Of the New England Whalers''
is that of the loss of the Ann Alexan-
der Of New Bedford. This ship was
on the "offshore grounds" west Of
Chile and Peru, when on Aug. 20, 1850,
pod" Of whales appeared, and three
boats were lowered, Captain John s.
Deblois going in one Of them. The
mates boat soon struck one of the
pod but the monster instantly turn
ed with jaws open, and the men fled
overheard just in time to save their
lives. A moment later the whale bit
the boat to pieces.
captain DeblOis at once pulled in,
picked up the boats crew and shifted
a part Of them to the second mates
boat. Then both the captain and sec
ond mate started to attack the whale,
which had been busy meantime biting
at the pieces Of the boat it had de-
stroyed. In the usual course whale
thus engaged would not have noticed
the approach Of the boats for Sec
ond attack, but this one had it's eyes,
open, and it turned to meet the enc
my more than halfway.
Rushing forward with a force and
speed that no boat could escape, it
grasped the second mates boat, as it
had that Of the mate, and literally
made kindling wood of it.
When Captain Deblois had once more
picked his men from the sea he head
ed for the ship, and when there he
sent the mate to gather up the oars
and such other debris as might have
escaped the fury Of the whale. In his
view it was his duty to fill his ship
with oil and not to whale for glory y
as persistence in fighting a whale of
this kind was sometimes called.
The mate, however, was Of more
reckless disposition He managed to
get within range Of the whale and
thrust lance into it. Unfortunately,
however, he failed to reach a vital
point, and the whale, ignoring the
small boat, made dash at the ship.
He struck her abreast Of the foremost
and crushed in her SIDE She sank so
quickly that the crew was unable to
secure anything, and they would have
persisted speedily in their open boats
but for the fact that they were picked
up by another whale ship.

Sailing BABIES.
An Old World Practice That Goes Back
to Bible Times.

An Old World Practice That Goes Back
-.. to Bible Times.
"Salting" newly born infants, prac-
tice that dates far back to Biblical
times, still obtains in many parts Of
the old world. The Armenians in the
Russian government of Eriwan cover
the whole surface of the babes body
with fine salt, especial care being
taken with the interstices between the
fingers and all depressions, such as the
armpit and the bend of the knee, so
that no point shall remain unsalted.
The unhappy infant is left in the
salt for three hours or longer and is
then bathed in warm water.
The Armenians Of some districts,
having abandoned the practice, are
called ''unsalted'' and are despised by
the others.
The modern Greeks also sprinkle
their babes with salt If an enlight-
ened mother protests the midwife is
ready with the objection, But if it
isn't sailed it will be puny and will
never amount to anything
If this sailing process is carried on
to excess the poor babes don't stand it
at all. The skin becomes as red as
fire, the irritation is intolerable, and
the child dies in commissions Yet
there is mountain tribe in Asia Mi
nor that mercilessly salts it's newborn
babes for twenty-four hours, which
shows that the limits of human en-
durance are wide in some cases. This
ancient custom is still in vogue in
many parts Of Germany, but the rites
are merely symbolical In one district
little salt is rubbed behind the
child's ears, in others pinch of salt is
put on the tongue or little paper #
salt is inserted under the garment It
gives understanding, the people say,
and wards off evil spirits.
The action Of salt in keeping meat
sound no doubt is the reason that this
strengthening and sustaining power
was ascrihed to it. The usage became
common in eastern countries, and it
was not entirely confined to them. The
prophet Ezekiel, referring to the de-
generacy Of Jerusalem, says:
Neither vast thou washed in water
to supple thee; thou vast not salted at
all nor swaddled at ALL"
To many oriental tribes this means
a grave omission Of parental duty
