The Pistol Again.

Two wealthy and public spirited farmers down in Wilcox county Ala bama, auarreled over which had con- tract right to the work of certain negro. Both were armed with pistols and both began shooting at each other about the same time. and both were dead in a few minutes. Alabama has 8 CT than two feet, but both these re- spectable, wealthy citizens; pillars of the society of their respective commun- ities and both devoue church members, defied the law, allowed their anger to supplant every other consideration with the melancholy result noted. The pis- tol-hahit is the most dangerous and diff fcult with which organized society has to deal and no law or gospel has yet been able to control. much less to stop 1t. The incident in point Is not extra = ordinary; 1t is one of many constantly occurring and illustrates a weakness in our mortal make up no human inven- ton has yet been able to reach.

Because New Haven people are try Ing to work up a sentiment for a City Beautiful" The Hartford courant somewhat sneeringly tells 1t that the first thing the city should do is to change its name. The Courant holds that a city which is some centuries old cannot properly be "new haven" ]" and therefore the name is Q misnomer. Thereupon The New Haven Register hands back this one to The Courant:
 And if the matter of inappropriate names Is to be pursued to the point of derivation. wouldn't the reforming Courant do well to begin at home? There was a time when 'Harts' Ford exactly described the spot on the map now occupied by the capital of Con- neeticut. It was place where the dser waded across the river. Hard 1y an appropriate name, one may just ly say, for city which has just seen IAhe completion, at a cost of several millions. of a bridge whose purpose is to obviate the necessary of wad- ing.

In striking contrast to utterances that have come from some other State houses is the manly, dignihed and courageous inaugural address of Governor Patterson. of Tennessee. de- livered Wednesday in Nashville. He has convictions independent of the petty plane of politics and he dares to voice these convictions. His con- lict with the Legislature he pro- nounces as unfortunate. but he de- clares he will not swerve from his duty and his principles of right.

THE MONET POWER AssAuErnD.

THE MONET TOWER ASSAULTED.
 Senator Jeff Davis took fall out of the money power and if the United States Senate and the country laughed at him about It. 1t was not his fault. He stood up and defended the pee .pur' against the money power and aid what he could to lift their burdens from breaking backs. If the money power is not completely out of busi- ness. 1t is not his fault. The voice of Ark kansaw has been heard--thc tribune of the 'peeppr. has thrown down the gauntlet to the oppresser of the People in his own stronghold. Of course. If folks win laugh. let them laugh.
 They say that Senator Joseph r. Johnston, of Alabama. Is more reg ular attendant on the sessions of the Senate than any member of that body. The sessions never get so dull that they drive the Alabama Sen ator away. But even the Alabama Senator fled to ths clock room when the Voice from Arhansaw opened. By actual count there were twenty-six Senators present when Jeff Davis rode out and threw down his gauntlet. But by the time he was fin . weaving way as they would say In East Ala bama. the number had dwindied to one dozen Senators and most of them were busy with their correspondence. The Alabama Senator whose friends has claimed for him the prize for punctuality had unostsntatieusly glid- ed into cloak room, the nearest haven of rest
 And yet Senator Jef Davis, Of Arkansaw, was sut in an aisle. de- nsuncing the money power and defy ing 1t to do It's worst to him. so iong as It left the "peepnr' alone and stopped breaking their backs with burdens. when he became more than usually vehement the letter writers looked up in an annoyed sort of way and went on with their corfespon- dence. And there were none from Arkansaw to applaud when he had the money power on the hip. choking the life out of 1t.
 Some people may wonder why Arkansas sent such alman to the tJni-. ted States Senate. But there are sew srai southern states which have not the right to point the finger Of ridi- cule at Arkansas. That style of fustian and froth oratory has been popular in some other States of the South. It Is, not unknown in, Ala bama. And Alabama like Arkansas has no better sense than to reward men whose only claim to distinction was the ability to deliver a Jeff Davis speech.
 But the South is proud of the re- established good sense of It's people. They have returned to reason and the Jeff Davis politician sees the ending of his brief day of glory. In Arkan- sas the retirement of Senator Davis is waiting only the time in which the people will have chance to vote. They refused to permit him to go as a delegate to Denver ana he knows that politically he is q marked man.
 Georgia. the first State of the South to lead on in the folly. was first to recover. Alabama is only awaiting it's chances.

Still, as the farmer must first prosper before the road can receive any benefit we trust our readers will show their appreciation of the roads interest in their welfare by universal proper interest Is shown the road can no doubt be induced Co follow the mat ter up with future aids to the industry. Let every farmer in the County also their wives and children. come out and hear this lecture on poultry growing for protlt.

There may or may not be sIgnifi- canoe in the fact that Shively, of In- diana. Chamberlain of Oregon and Hughes, of Colorado, are three Demo- cratic United States Senators who have just been elected from States which gave their electoral votes to Taft. They are all good. strong men. and whether or not there is any pollti- cal significance in their election there Is no doubt as to the good they will do towards helping Democrats In the Senate in the work of keeping things straight.

If MT. Taft does abolish the referee system he will break up one of the
 most prolific sources of. political scan dal in the South. A few men under the plan at present in vogue have the absolute power of filling every Fed sral office in a Democratic State, which has no Republican representa-
 tives in Congress. The proposition of allowing a mans standing with his neighbors to count for something. is a great improvement on the plan of fixing up jobs for men who can help to carry delegations to national con Ventions for particular candidates.

Principal among many facts inter- esting to the statistician and the soci- ologist is the one contained in just issued bulletin of the census bureau which discioses that the ratio of di- vorces to population is increasing so rapidly in this country that in thirty i've years (1s7O-ls0s), it had leaped from twenty-nine to elghty-two per year per 1o0,0oe. In the forty-year period from 1887 to 1907, inclusive. the annual number of divorces in the United States rose steadily from S,s37 in the former year to 72O62 in the latter. If the divorce rate of 1870 had been the rate in 1906 the absolute number of divorces in the latter year would have been only 24,ssS instead of almost three times that large num- ber. J
