 cotton seed oil in the United States. These mills and refneries crush and re- fine nearly 4,o00,000 tons of seed annually, employing capital exceeding s15o,oooooo and giving employment, directly or in- directly, to more than 100000 people.
 Cotton seed oil is exported to every civilized country of the globe for salad and cooking purposes.
 Tt is noteworthy that the prejudice against this excellent and wholesome food produtc, while slowly dying out in this country. has not existed in European countries wher the manufacture of arti- fcial buffers has long enjoyed public ap- probation and the business in the articles has grown to enormous proportions, so much so that in Rotterdam alone from 5.00O GOO to 100000 gallons of cotton seed oil are thus used annually, the product going mainly to the English market. It has been announced by s. G. Latta, president of the Chicago, Memphis and Gulf that this line is to be built from a point on the Ohio river to Memphis, and thence to Jackson. Miss. where 1t is pre- sumed traffic arrangements will be made with one of the connecting roads there for entrance into New Orleans.

Stories of Success Winners

study was not a "grind"-it was an il- lumination. In it's light the grand laws of business literally became as plain print to hinl-he saw 1t all as he had never seen it before, and put out his hand and grasped 1t all. The system and the harmony of it were his. The crude experience of past years had been trans- muted, as by alchemy into fine effective ness. The Daily Ledger, requiring the services of Q frst-rate bookkeeper, Pres- ident Wheeler recommended him, and he was given the place. Newspaper "books's are a severe test of the training and capacity of an accountant. The entries are "Greek" to bookkeepers who are vet- erans in other lines of business, and questions are continually arising which strike into the fundamentals of the sci- ence of accounting and tax ingenuity by the difficulty of their statement. Mfr Smith, however, was able to take charge of the Ledgers book from the beginning and for six years he discharged the onerous duties of his position to the perfect satisfaction of the management
 Then came the call to higher duties and a broader field The Ryall Pub fishing company, which is rapidly mak- ing it's way into the front rank of the printing establishments of the south, in- vited him to assume the management of it's business, and upon his acceptance

That was only few months ago. but since then the company has undertaken work of higher and more difficult nature-its latest achieve ment being the publication of the city directory, a 'Job which challenges the resources of the most completely ap- pointed printing office-and has increased it's earnings in every department. Mir. Smiths cooperation in bringing about these satisfactory results is freely ao- knowledged by his associates, who con- eratulate themselves on having secured the right man for an all-important posi- tion and the record of his management so far fully justifes the prediction that the company has bright future be-. fore it.
 MT Smith is very appreciative of the part which the Wheeler Business college has had in shaping his career. He said recently: Ut is always a pleasure to recommend the Wheeler Business col- lego I consider it one of the most thor ough business colleges in the country, and am personally acquainted with many successful business men who arc it's graduates Birmingham Is certainly fortunate in having this high-class bus- mess training school among It's insti- tutions."

NELLIE DIDN'T sMIss QUIT, Maude Adams Learned Later Who Had Sent the Pretty ViOlets.

From the New York Morning Telegraph
 Edward Eolk is the authority for the latest Maude Adams story. It seems that a little girl of 9, who lives in Trenton, N J.. saw Miss Adams play Peter Pan' two years ago. She wrote Miss Adams, telling her so, but in the stress and shuttle Of theatrical hurry received no answer. Yet the child's faith in her &C., tress never wavered.
 About this time she began saving her allowance for an unnamed purpose. The allowance was cents a week, which she ircreased occasionally to and even 10 by doing family errands.
 A year .ater. when Miss Adams was playing ''WhatA Every Woman Knows" at the Empire theatre, during the holiday weeks, the little girl persuaded her fa- t'icr to take her to New York. She had accumulated $4.12. The object of the hoard then appeared. The s4 bought just 100 violets and those violets went to Miss Adams at the Empire theatre. And now tia tragedy occurred.
 Through somebody's error the little note that was sent with the flowers never reached the star, and she knew of no one to thank So the little girl went back to Trenton and waited day after day, her faith in her actress sorely tried. At this point enter Edward Box, editor of he greatest woman's periodical on earth. At q dinner in Philadelphia he Happened to overhear the story told by an aunt of the little girl.
 Mr Box knows Miss Adams and he krcv that something ought to be done
 So. without incriminating himself he drew out of the narrator the name of the lit. He girl, which in part was Nellie, and her parents' address in Trenton. The outcome of all this was that when Miss Adams played Trenton there was sur. p:ise for Nellie. The heavens opened
 and out of the opening came an enor' nous photograph of Peter Pan with ar
 autograph inscription and an invitation to come behind the scenes at the end oi I the performance. Nellie accepted.

Now the umpire must do so or forfeit 50. and some of these officials who have been very negligent in this respect. will be more careful in the future. There are some umpires, like O'Loughlin. Connolly and Evans, of the Americain league, and Keen, of of the National league, who have been very thoughtful in announcing substi- tute players, but there are others who act as if they thought the game was played for their special benefit, who will not relish the change.
 Once in a while an umpire will intro- duce a bit of comedy into an announce ment of this kind. A couple of years ago when New York was playing at Columbia Park, Moriarity now third baseman of the Detroit Tigers, was sent in to bat. "Silk'' OLoughlin was the umpire.

J. N. Martin of this city, who has been connected with the practical management of railroads lever since infancy to use his own words, says:
 There are now more than 100 large employers of men in the United States who have established a pension fund
 or their superannuated help. On the face of the latter it would appear that the movement which started several years ago to take care of the aged employe, rather than to turn him adrift into a world of want. indicates the development of better spirit on the part of the en- ncyers toward their help.
 Tn reality it is only the application of a well-founded principle that the most heartless employer in the world finds 1t to his material advantage to provide for his men in their old age. Therefore, while the world looks on and applauds the corporations for their Humanitarian work those who are acquainted with the underlying reasons for 1t know that the
 industrial pension is the outgrowth of final analysis, have shown 1t to be Il highly profitable investment.
 There Is one thing especially that a pension fund has been found to do-it prevents strikes The man who has been in the service of company for 15 years or more. and has a life pension ahead of him when he reaches the age where he can no longer toll, will hardly be induced lightly to lay aside his work for strike

 SHY OF REFORM The Exchange Will Undertake
 Its Own Reform. THE STEEL CORPORATION VIII Establish Its Own Warehouses in Principal Centers So as to EIimi- nate Dealings Through the

THE STEEL CORPORATION

New York, February 19.-tSpeciai) 1.-The New York stock exchange does not want to be reformed. from the outside at least and will vigorously resist any legislation which may interfere with it's rights, prvi- leges or freedom of action. It takes the ground that there is no reform needed which cannot and will not be better remedied by the exchange itself than it
 possibly can be by the state legislature or, any other body of men. It also holds that if the legislature takes up this ques- tion 1t is liable to make mess of it and do more harm than good to bust ness.
 For this reason the exchange is fighting the bills to incorporate the exchange, to prohibit margin gambling and "short' sales and to provide for a thorough legis- lative investigation of the presisent evils, which are already looming LID at Albany.
 Whether or not it will be possible to convince the legislature it had best keep hands off remains to be seen. very greatly doubt it. As a matter of fact recent events In Wall street, the Rock Island furry the Hooking pool and the general recklessnos of spectators has aroused public opinion which will hard ly be allayed short of legislation which will at least make pretense of insuring that the men of Wall street shall play the game with some degree of fairness.
 It is held in Albany that the recent IT, vestigation of Governor Hughes commis- sion pointed out some of the evils, sug- gested remedies and gave Wall street an opportunity to reform from the in- side. Having failed aboslutelpy to apply any remedy, the dominant Idea is that 1t is up to the legislature to do some- thing, and probably it will.

Subs to Blame

It is President Lynchs idea that much of the trouble during games is caused by substitutes on the bench yelling at the umpires. There is no doubt that substi- ute players start a lot of mixups. It is not a manly thing to do, but many players from the time a game starts, make themselves human chatterboxes by yelling continually at the umpire. The latter, whose mind should be on the game, is distracted by trying to recognize some particular voice so that he can punish the individual, and thus arguments with the players on the field result On numer- ous occasions substitute players have de- lberately got into arguments with the umpire so as to be ordered from the bench to the clubhouse. This scheme will not work any more, for 8 fine of s10 goes with such a punishment in the future. This rule should not only cause better dis cipline among the players, but it should also improve the umpiring by permitting the "arbitrators' to attend strictly to the game instead of having to watch the men on the bench.
 While nothing radical has been done by this years rulemakers, the new rules should improve the tone of the game to considerable extent.

The gambling spirit in New York's financial district must be curbed or it Is only matter of time, and a short time at that. when she will lose her financial supremacy. We of the south, as well as the west, are engaged in the work of up- building the country. We are hampered by these gambling flurrles in Wall street and are getting tired of it."
