One Of the Eniemss Of Nature That
Science Cannot Solve.
Human beings knog only mere
skin Of the surface Of the earth, not
more than thirty miles deep, while the
globe is 5000 miles in diameter There
is probably no oxygen at all below
thirty miles, and It is difficult to guess
what are the elements within. Prob
ably the heaviest elements form a
dense core near the center.
II Ia IN some respects astonishing,
most alarming. that We are so com
pletely devoid Of any direct knowledge
Of the constituents OF the vast mass
OF globe beneath Us and really only
know the merest film. A skin or mem.
brane One-twenteth Of an inch In
thickness Cthe thickness Of Kid or
brown paper spread over ball lit
tie more than a foot In diameter repre-
sents the proportion between the
the known crust OF the earth thirty
miles thick and the great globe itself.
We are dependent on inference and
speculation for our notions as TO the
constitution OF all that Is beneath the
mere skin Of thirty miles thickness
on the globes surface! Even what is
thrown up by the biggest volcanoes
does not come from below this depth
or tell us what lies hidden there.-Ex-

MISSIONARY woRK PROMINENT
In Deliberations Of Episcopal General
Convention

Editor of the Banner;-In the first
letter reporting the opening Of the
General convention of the Episcopal
church we promised to send some
further account of the proceedings.
The spirit manifested is one of pro-
gress along all lines. The mission
airy work at home and abroad is Civ
en- the first place, and such leaders
as Bishop Brent of the Philippines,
Bishop Graves of China and Bishop
Rowe of Alaska, have aroused great
enthusiasm by the story of their
work.
The first joint session of the two
houses was held Friday. October 7th
and the Board of Missions made its
report. The treasurer presented a
statement that during the past year,
the receipts amounted to about ST.
100000. At the service of the Holy
Eucharist for the Woman's Auxiliary
in Christ church on Saturday morn
ing their united Offering amounted to
S2421S9 was presented. This is the
largest Offering ever made by the
women of the church and will be
used for the training of women for
missionary work
Two missionary districts, Olympia
and Sacramento. have become dioce-
SEES, and four new missionary dis.
tricts have been created in this coun.
try, namely Arizona, Eastern Oklaho-
ma, San Joaquin in California North
western Texas, also a new district
in China.

WIDE OF THE TRUTH.

Commenting on the judicial contest
in this circuit the Nashville American
of Friday had this to say: THE Co
lumbia Herald is very much displeas-
ed because the candidates did not dis
cuss the prohibition question in their
speeches, but the more conservative
Democrats in the circuit think they
did right to ignore it, presuming that
whoever is elected will do his duty
In the matter of the enforcement of
the anti-liquor law"
This is wilful, deliberate and in
territorial mis-statement of the facts
without shadow of foundation. 1t
proves just what this paper has been
frequently forced in the interest of
truth and candor to say, that is that
the Nashville American prefers any
thing to the truth. 1t would rather
deceive than enligten. It's ways are
not ways of light, but of darkness and
deceit. 1t gives us no pleasure to say
this but the occasion really deserves
the shorter and uglier" word.
Every reader of The Herald knows
that 1t has not referred to the prohi- |
bition law in connection with the judi
cial election. And on the contrary 1t
would have severely criticised the can
didate who tried to make any statute
an issue in this campaign. The only
reference during the whole contest
mas been a rather yelled one made
by one or two Of the candidates who
.ook a round about and rather sly
method of telling the people that they
we're not for prohibition by swearing
lndying allegiance to Bans famous
The Herald expects and demands that
he next Judge and attorney general
4 this circuit enforce all the laws;
Is their solemn duty to enforce them
nd II they do not do 30 they may rest
ssured that the people will know It
through the columns of The Herald.

HORACE M. POLK.

| Maury county will be guaranteed
absolutely fair elections with men OF
the character and standing of James
A. Smiser, E. L. Gregory and Horace
NJ. Polk to appoint the officers to
hold them The Herald has hereto
fore expressed the very highest ap-
prevail of the selection Of Messrs.
Smiser and Gregory What it has
said in commentator of their inte-
gritty it can say regarding Mr. Polk
1t is indeed fortunate that at last
Tennessee has an election Board that
seems concerned only in the selec-
ton of election machinery that men
of the highest standing shall be nam
ed. Mr.. Folks appointment is the
fullest assurance of fair and honest
elections in Maury county. 1t is not
an unfavorable circumstance that the
three commissioners should be so
preventative of the sec
ions of the county. One comes from
he Northeast another from the CEN
er and the other from the South
vest And one is farmer, one a
awyer, the other an editor A rare
that 1t would be dif1.
ult to surpass.

people looked more to the qualif1ca-
lions of the candidates than to their
political alignments and this is a
healthy sign, it is as it should be.
OF course in the main the temperance
Democrats voted for candidates whom
they believed had personal SYM
pathy for the laws they de
sired enforced but the election returns
demonstrated the fact that hundreds
of the administration faction support
ed the victors being content to leave
the settlement of political questions
to contests fol political Offices.

ENCOURAGING.

The enterprising and progressive
business men of Columbia who have
determined to have a live and wide
awake commercial association for the
advancement of the interests of the
city and county have every reason to
be pleased with the result of Tues
day nights meeting. An initial
membership of sixty means that with
little effort within a short time we
shall have Board of Trade here with
not less than $50 members which
should continue to grow until there
are 500 members. Of course there
are business men in the county and
in the city, whose interests should be
identical with the business men who
are trying to promote the Board of
Trade, who will throw cold water on
the movement There are born
knockers. They simply can't help it,
albeit they should be heartily asham-
ed of themselves. But knocking and

to say that the live stock interests o.

to its development and promote its
success is deserving of support and
the heartiest encouragement. 1t will
be the aim of our department to ex-
plot this great resource of the coun-

courage the breeders to still greater
efforts for better stock and in a word
to develop this interest until it shall
not only be the greatest In the coun-

Now in order to make this depart

Importance Of the subject demands
The Herald will have to ask the as

Within the past month the people of

by the statement that their great
grand fathers, the heroes of the colo

chivalry, were after all very ordinary
mortals of the commonest clay. They
have been told no by no less a person

man reared amid an atmosphere of
generation for everything of the re-
evolutionary period particularly If it
had New England color, that the
heroes Of that period we're thieves,

SATURDAYS RESULT.

=
When the people of this circuit shall
have ratified the action of the Demo
cratic party last Saturday, as they
surely will, this judicial district will
have a Judge and and an attorney gen.
eral thoroughly qualified in every es-
sential for an efficient discharge of the
responsible duties of their high po-
sitions.
Bruce Turner is capital choice for
judge. He has judicial training, ju-
dicial poise, temperament that ad-
mirably suits him for the bench. He
| is a gentleman of the highest integri-
ty, lover of justice, firm and uncom-
promising. He believes in square
deal There IS very little of the dem
agogue about him; he may not make
the show and the display that others
have made on the bench but the peo-
pie can rest secure in the sincerity of
his purposes and the honesty of his !
judgments. The magnificent vote |
which the people of his home city and
county gave him is a sufficient testi-
monial, were proof necessary, of the
very high esteem in which he is held
by those who know him best. The
Herald congratulates him upon the
splendid victory which he has achiev-
ed; it congratulates the people upon
the discriminating judgment which
they displayed in the selection of a
high judicial officer and it assures l.,
them that they will not have just
cause to regret their choice. II
Horace Frierson, the young Demo- .
,rat who made such phenomenal run
away race fer attorney general, Is !,
n every way thoroughly equipped for q
he position. He is in the prime of
life, full Of energy, vigor and deter
nination. A first rate lawyer, an elo-
Iuent advocate, courageous fighter. !.
