MONEY WANTS IT ALL.

New Leader of Democrats in Senate
Takes Everything For His Family.
Senator Money of Mississippi, the
new minority leader has introduced
in the senate q resolution creating
the additional position of messenger
to the conference committee of the
minority at salary of $1,400. This
committee, of which Senator Money
is chairman, and which meets only
two or three times in the course of
a session, now has a clerk, an assist
ant clerk, and a messenger. These
positions are neld respectively by the
son, the daughter-in-law and the
daughter of the senior senator from
Mississippi. Senator Moneys desire
for another messenger to serve the
minority committee leads democrats
around the senate to the belief that
this is going to be an unusually busy
session with the new minority lead
err 1t is also suspected that fourth
member of the Money family will
soon be on the pay roll of senate
employees.

$500 PER ACRE NET PROFIT.
Texas Cotton Fields Have Been
Turned Into Truck Farms.

Texas Cotton Fields Have Been
Turned Into Truck Farms.
Farmers in my section of Texas
have learned better than to grow
cotton and corn as staple crops, said
Col John w. Morton of Arkansas
Pass, Tex. They used to grow moth
ing but cotton and corn until they
discovered that fruit berries and
vegetables paid about ten times as
much profit to the acre, and could
be cultivated without half the ex-
ertion and risk.
Now nearly all the planters have
turned their cotton and corn lands
into immense truck gardens, some
of them a thousand acres or more,
and are getting rich raising early
and fruits for the north
Texas markets. Some of their prod
ucts are shipped as far north as Kan
sas City All kinds of fruits and
vegetables, giving preference to the
early varieties, are raised. Toma-
toes, asparagus and Bermuda onions
are produced more than any other
kind of vegetable, and always bring
the best market prices. 1t is not
unusual for a planter on ten acres
to realize $4,000 net profit on his
land during the year.

has been a falling off of Ala per
cent. in the amount Tapped up in
all the states, leaving a total of only
6,303,49 barrels. Only in six
states has there been an increase in
barrel totals.
However, Hawaii seems to be TAX
ing kindly to civilization with an in
crease of 1876 barrels, making her
total for 1909 14,01S.
But in spite of these figures the
brewers say prohibition has done
very little, if any harm, for they at
tribute the falling off to industrial
conditions.
New York retains her pre-emi-
hence with 12,572,O42 barrels, Penn
sylvania holds her liquor very well
to the tune of 7,569,577, and Hi

TO the governor of South Carolina
for over a year now, according to
the annual beer bulletin just issued

the year ending June, 1908, there
were only ten barrels sold in North
Carolina and in the year ending last
June there wasn't single barrel
sold in that state.
Furthermore, the statistics seem
to indicate that the governor of
South Carolina hates to drink alone,
for since North Carolina went on
the water wagon the other state has
a record of only 9,247 barrels for
two long years.
There seems to have been a tend
ency throughout the country not to
have just one more and to go home

A CHAsTE TENNESSEE TOWN.
If Cruisers Figurehead Is Mermaid
Franklin Passes 1t Up.

If Cruisers Figurehead Is a Mermaid
Franklin Passes 1t Up.
The official standard of purity in
art is so high in Franklin, Tenn.
that the figurehead of the armored
cruiser Tennessee probably will never
rest there. This is the attitude taken
by Mayor E. M. Perkins of that city
in a letter to the commandant of the
Bremerton navy yard, Washington,
where the Tennessee is stationed.
His letter read:
I'VE have received your favOrs of
October 10th and November 9Th OF
the present year, but as We had never
made any request for the loan of the
figurehead of the good ship Tennes-
see. and as we had no funds appro-
priated for the purpose of paying for
the same we simply remained quiet.
However. if the said tigurehead is
that of a beautiful woman we VIII
take good care of her if she is sent
free. But if it is something seary.
like a mermaid or a sea serpent, we
don't want her at a discount even.
Trusting that this meets with
your approval" etc.
The letter has been forwarded to
the navy department with the infor-
nation that the figurehead is not q
woman, neither is it mermaid nor
a sea serpent.

ticket seller, who the other day lost
a $1,000 bill--in real money. We
were about to say something about
how the ordinary man would safe
guard a $1,000 bill, but that would
have been foolish, since the ordinary
man never sees anything of the kind,
and, therefore, has no idea what he
would do if one came his way.
