AMERICAN TEL. EXPLAINS.
Capital Stock May Be Increased to Half
Billion,

New York.-A recommendation that
the capital stock of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company be in
creased to $500,O00,000, is contained in
the company's annual report, made Fri
day, but other than to say that the
company desired to be "forehanded," no
reason given for the proposed increase of
$200,000,000. Wall street believes the
company intends to still greater expan-
sion, though the report states that none
of this increase will be needed during
the current year for ordinary capital
expenditures"
The report shows that the number of
telephone stations in the Bell system
was increased to more than 100000,
including 100000 operated by connect
ing companies.

COL. GORDON MEMPHIS GUEST.
Mississippi Statesman Makes Delightful
Talk at Luncheon.

Talk at Luncheon.
given at the Memphis Business Mems
Club in honor of Hon. James Gordon of
Mississippi, poet, statesman and ex-
United States senator, can well under
stand how this grand old man, with his
plain, old-fashioned eloquence, born of
the old Southern school, swayed the SEN
ate recently with his love everybody"
speech, which made him famous in
day. 1t would take a man with a heart
of adamant to withstand the sponta-
neous bubble of sunshine disseminated
by the gallant old soldier, without feel
ing that he was better man for hav-
ing heard 1t.
The reception to Col Gordon was
marked throughout by the utmost sim
plicity, though none the less hearty, Il
fact which apparently Appealed TO the
guest of honor.
Judge Greer, in a happy speech, babe
Col Gordon welcome. Col. Gordon re-
sponded in short speech which must
have been the prototype of the one
which made him famous. Without at
tempt to drift into the flights OF oratory,
in which he is not versed, the venerable
statesman voiced, in his own plam way,
his appreciation of the welcome which
had been extended him.
Il am glad to be in Memphis" said
he, 'for l feel very much at home here.
l am especially glad to meet so many
of the business men of Memphis / have
never known very much about business.
There is one business, however; that |
have been successful in. | am a great
circulating medium. believe that money
should be circulated, and that's one ret
son why l admire John d. Rockefeller"
Col. Gordon then told how he had
broken into the United States senate,
during the course of which he paid
glowing tribute to Gov. E. +. Noel of
Mississippi. He said that the speech
which had attracted such widespread
comment had been delivered with no
such intention.
Il didn't mean to do it," he said. "But
when that large, portly gentleman, our
beloved president, came up and EN-
braced me after it was over l knew that
l must have done some good in the SEN
ate after all. Even Senator Hepburn of
Idaho came forward and shook my hand
after had invited him to pay a visit to
my Mississippi home. Gentlemen, Hey
burn is all right, you must not think
too hard of him. 1t was his environ
ment hat warped his view of the South.
He has been sitting way up there in
Idaho on an iceberg, with nothing more
than the Aurora Borealis to enlighten
him about the South. That's the rea-
son / invited him to come down and see
for himself"

FARMERS. ATTENTION.

Here is question that we want
to put to every farmer, and we urge
that you give yourself an honest and
truthful answer: Cannot the South,
and cannot you, on your farm, raise
your corn, hay, hogs, mules enough
for work stock, and still produce as
many bales of cotton as you have
heretofore? You plant enough land
in corn at so bushels per acre to
make all you need, you can have hay
by cutting the native grasses, or bet
ter by planting the best, your hogs
and mule colts can Craze three
fourths of the year, and will cost
you but little. Can you make so
bushels of corn per acre? Is there
not some farmer in your county who
is doing this? You know you can
if you will give the land your atten-
tion, and enrich and cultivate.
We have made the farmers North
and West rich by buying from them
since the Civil War. Can we stand
the drain of paying profits to the
Northern farmer, to the dealer who
buys from him, to the railroads and
to our own merchants? Look at the
market prices now on corn, hogs, hay
and mules, and you will surely agree
that you can raise any and all of
these for less than one-fourth of
what they cost you.-Memphis Com
mercial Appeal.

Memorials to Dead Senators.

The senate chamber was the scene of
impressive exercises Wednesday night in
honor of two members of that BODY who
served during the first session of this
legislature, Samuel Nelly Sample of
Holmes county and Frederick George
Barry of Clay. The chamber was filled
with senator's and representatives, as
well as public officers. The chamber had
been draped with streamers of white
and black crepe, while the desks which
had been used by the two senators were
draped, and in addition, each bore a
sase containing lilies of the valley.

Husbands Afraid.

Ann Arbor, Mich.--Frightened hus-
bands have been burdening DIR. Victor
9. Vaughans mail recently with speci-
mems of coffee, meat, sausage and other
articles Of food, with requests for an
analysis Of it. Explanations intimating
fear Of poisoning accompany each pack
age. Dr. Vaughan has been engaged as
a toxicologist in several noted cases of
alleged poisoning, notably the Swope
case at Kansas City, and the idea has
apparently gotten abroad that he is at
the service Of all susnieinna husbands.

BACK TO The FARM.

Nine hundred million dollars worth
Of Agricultural products we're export.
ed from the United States last year,
according to the bureau of statistics
In the department of commerce and
labor. Secretary Wilson says thst the
total was $S.776 100000, so that lit.
tlc more than 10 per cent of our farm
products were sold abroad and the
home consumers had to be content
with the remaining nine-tenths. This
is healthy condition, but doubtless
helps to explain the high price of pro-
visions In this country. Secretary
Wilson thinks the high prices are due
to the fact that there are too few
farmers and too many distributors, too
many young men rushing to the city,
instead of staying home and tilling
the soil. If we are to supply Europe
as well as America with food stuffs
we must increase the number of farm
ers with the increase of our popula.
ton, and If farming is made and con.
tinues sufficiently profitable there will
be no lack of farmers. The poor re-
wards Of farming in the past have
driven the farmer boys to other pur-
suits. There will be cry of back
to the farm" as soon as it is clear
that there is money in farming com
mensurate with the toll which 1t ex
acts from those whose livelihood is
the cultivation of the soil.

Lincoln, Neb.--Governor Shallenber-

county option and would favor the s

ulating the liquor problem will be fought
by William J. Bryan, who favors coun-
ty option.
Mr.. Shallenbergsr said:

tion Of county option. think at this
time, however, that the party will not
declare for prohibition, and this Is what
county option seems to mean.v

Certainly the gentleman who under

prices of necessaries of life should
reach some sort of agreement and har-
monte their views before they try
to eblighten the public. For weeks

saying that meat is so dear because
the people eat so much and the supply
is not equal to the demand But here

Kansas City.-All the information re-
garding the Cudahy-Lillis affair obtained
by the police department was turned
over to Prosecutor Virgil Conkling.
There were several affdavits from of

lively that he will not initiate an inves-

EXCHANGE NOT BUCKET SHOP
New York Court vindicates New York
Cotton Exchange.

The appellate division of the state
supreme court decided unanimously that
the New York Cotton Exchange is not a
bucket shop, but legitimate market
for trading in actual cotton.
The decision was handed down in the
case of Richard A. Springs and others
against David w. James, Blakeley,
Ga, planter. James refused to settle
claim for $4,000 due on cotton trans
action, on the ground that it had been
contracted through gambling transac-
tions, upon which there can be no recov-
cry"
The court ruled otherwise, sustaining
