Southern Oil Fields

Ont of a total annual yield of about 2oo'- ooo.ooo barrels the south furnishes fully one-third. The producing states are Ken lucky. Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas and West Virginia. Tennessee now has in pr Ashley an active head of her geologi- cal survey, and an investigation of her resources will doubtless disclose gas and oil.
 Following the Appalachian range we next come to Alabama, and it Is certain that oil as well as gas will be found in this state existing here deep down in the bowels of the earth Many believe oil will be found in southern Mis- sissippi, because there is plenty of it in Louisiana and Texas The gaps in the long chain that stretches from New York of Texas are to be explored and perhaps all the links of the chain will be found  anti-inclnal structure of sands and shales Is thought to extend to and perhaps through Alabama. but in Louisiana and Texas saline domes appear, and the rela- ton of salt to oil presents a new prob- lem.
 In 1909 the south derived from it's oil wells the sum at the well of s44, 4O5,071, and the figures for 1910 will show up as we'll An industry of that size deserves promotion, and as the reward of success in the oil fields is great no doubt the hid- den resources of the south will be fully tested. The activity in Alabama certainly points that way.

Limitations on Gold StQraea

The refrigerator car is a blessing be- cause it is possible through its use to distribute widely perishable food products The New Zealand and Australian steamer that adopts refrigeration cheapens beef and mutton in crowded countries and is everywhere welcomed except by the Ald- rich tariff. Refrigeration is a desirable method when it is not abused, and it has been received everywhere with ap- proval.
 But when cold storage plants are used to corner food products and then at times to unload those products on the people after they had been kept in many instances nve years, the public is not ready to ap- plaud them They are too disguscted to applaud. Food articles five years old turn the stomach. The entire transaction of the storage houses in such cases is un- pleasant "corner is unpleasant to the consumer and ancient articles of food are deceptive and uncalled for.
 It will be strange indeed if the legisa- lures In session do not pass laws putting a definite limit on the storage indus try, requiring them in all cases to at tach a date to all goods placed in thef cold storage warehouses; Rigorous rules will be required to insure the placing of the date of admission to cold storage on all goods. The subject needs treatment The abuse of cold storage must be met by limitations that will confine it's opera tions to the legitimate domain of the in- dustry It is confessedly useful when it is not abused and in new laws remedy for those abuses can be devised

ORIGIN OF NEWSPAPERS

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
 Newspapers took their birth at Venice Italy-only a monthly at first and pub lished by the government Long after the invention of printing and even into the seventeenth century, it continued to be issued in manuscript, because of the jealous nature of the Venetian authori- ties. A farthing coin, called gazetta, pe- culiar to Venice, was it's price-hence our word gazette. Tn the British museum are several newspapers which were printed while the Spanish Armada was in the English channel and which bear the date 15sS. To prevent the danger of false rumors during a time of great per, called the English Mercurie, but it's publication was only as occasion might require. In news, "adsr and book notices the Mercury is very like the modern sheet. It came only from the Queens printers, Field & Barker, and was sold only by them During the civil wars pe riodical papers first appeared, and the doings of Cromwell were reported, with praise or the opposite. in such publica-
 
 Dove. the Parliament Kite, the Secret Owl the Weekly Discoverer and the Mer- curious Britannicus. Devoted to politi- cal purposes, they embroled communities and did far more harm than good. Like all powerful agents the press required 1ong handling to ascertain it's proper functions. In France historians trace the origin of newspapers to a physician, Dr. Renadot. who wrote and published the news for the amusement of his patients This was in 1632. Tt made him immense ly popular and rich.
 In the reign of Queen Anne there was but one daily paper in England. the others being weekly. Some of these tended chief ,ly to literary subjects, while others took a broader scope. Finally Sir Richard Steele launched the Tatler with a three fold purpose--to embrace first manners and morals, second literature and third politics. He was followed by Addison, whose chief distinction, aside from the elegance of his style, was that he ban ished the painful topic of politics" from his sheet. From the time of> Addison news and literature were kept apart the writer of polite letters feeling him self degraded by the diurnal narration of political events. It was long before the union of the two was revived as we have 1t today.

Alabama Raised MuleS

The 5000 mules brought into this state annually absorb S1 1,5O0, ,0O0. of hard earned cotton money, and the most thoughtful men in the state say steps should be taken to stop this drain.
 The Age-Herald is glad to hear that Prof Dan T. Gray of the department of animal industry at Auburn is in vestigating mule raising in the hope that he can induce our farmers to raise mules instead of buying them. The state must get out of a helpless condition ii 1t Is ever to be strong and self-sustaining. There is no moro reason why we should go to Missouri to get our mules than there is that we should go to Illinois for our corn. All begin to, see that corn can be proftsbly grown In this State. and
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-01-31

this should induce our farmers to con- sider the mule propositoin. There is really no reason why 5000 mules should not be raised in this state every year.
 Professor Gray should conduct the mule campaign vigorously. Let him apportion to each county the number of mules due from it annually and perhaps after a while our farmers will wake up to the fact that no state is better adapted to mule raising than Alabama. To retain in the state an- the mule fund of S1,50o,0oo would be great achievement, and the man who lead up to 1t would become a public benefactor who should be and rewarded.

CAMP CLARK AT BALTIMORE

From the Baltimore Sun.
 He wore a gray cutaway coat, which fitted him superbly. An old-time states mans collar was about his neck, adorned with spotless white bow tie. When he walked upon the stage, his tall, well-knit frame loomed perhaps taller than that of any other member of the principal party.
 There. was look in his eye which seemed to pierce the very thoughts of those before him. He must have di- vined the music of the heartbeats of his hearers. for his words, when he finally rose to speak, were filled with warmest sympathy.
 The merest twinkle appeared In his eye and the corners of his mouth showed faint smile as he stepped for ward, immediately behind the rostrum He struck home with something be- fore single word had fallen from his lips, for his rising was greeted with much more than polite applause-it was spontaneously exultant
 This great leader on the side" of the minority for so many years, stood with
 
 cheering ceased as he shook his head and the few silver gray locks which cling to each side of an ever-increasing "baldness" beckoned as it were for re- spectful silence
 But the silence which ensued was only momentary. The congressman's humor came at once to the front, and he said that Gov Brothers was perfect ly right in denying that the meeting was called to obtain harmony in the party. He insisted that it was really the best evidence of harmony
 When he said this, his right hand stretched out and the forefinger car- ried the point homeward with tremen- dous power. He had the people with him from that time until the end. Grad ually the left hand came out of the pocket, the speaker strode up and down the stage, and then the gestures were double from that moment on.
 Sometimes he would clinch his fists and grit his teeth as some particularly impressive point came into his mind and he uttered 1t with almost explosive force. It was then that his steel gray eyes flashed fire and the majestic pres ence of the man told the audience that he could be depended upon to carry out the promises of his party platforms.
 Senator Bailey said Clark was man to be loved and trusted. There Is noth ing in his face to give the statement the lie. It is rugged without coarse ness. intelligent without vanity, and strong almost to auda aciousness. One can easily think of him as a dashing military leader and in the same thought picture to ones self the beautiful de- votion of his trusty soldiers.
 MT. Clark's voice is not strong. IL stood him in good stead yesterday un- til toward the close. He became quite hoarse, but still the powerful thoughts which came from him were listened to with never-ceasing interest.
 The half southern. half western drawl, the cold, hard logic, the delicate humorous sallies and the sturdy states manlike speech of Champ Clark will not soon be forgotten by those Mary flanders who were fortunate enough to hear him,

ELLEN TERRY

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.. {.
 Threescore and two years is the
 number which Ellen Terry Is not at all
 ashamed to call her own. That a
 womans as young as she looks Is a
 ballroom axiom and belle's consola-
 tion. But when life has been well
 lived, be 1t that of man or woman,
 there is cause for pride, rather than
 embarrassment. in the fact that one has
 passed threescore. or is nearing four
 score, when the faculties remain young,
 and there is yet work to do, and they
 will do 1t.
 Miss Terry, who is now making a tour of America, discussing-let us avoid
 the formal phrase 'lecturing upon
 characters from the plays of Shakes
 peare, has no more appreciative ad-
 mirers than she has found, and will find, in America. Both of Miss Terry's par
 ents were players. She was bred upon the stage, in an atmosphere that is far more beautiful to those born to 1t than te many who are attracted to it because
 the stage means to them Bohemia" and freedom from conventions rather than a tread-mill road to fame in a profession exacting in its demands upon vitality and mentality and time.
 Ristori, who appeared as child in Soldonis comedies, and turned to trag- edy only after having married an Ital- ian marchese; Helena Modjeska, daugh- ter of a musician; Eleanora Duse' granddaughter of the founder of the Garibaldi theatre in Padua, who played Cosette at '. and Juliet at IA, before she won recognition in zola's Theresa
 Rauuin," in Naples are among the great women of the modern stage who grew 1p behind the scenes. The names of these occur at the moment; many others might be mentioned While some of them who could be included in the list have had just claims to greater ganius than that of Miss Terry, the work of none has been worthier for sincerity and height of purpose. Her impersonations | of Portia, Ophelia. Desdemona, Lady Macbeth. Juliet and Beatrice. some of | which have been seen in America, have made her notable everywhere Her rare personality has endeared her to the public. which has seen her through the Ieyes of the smaller number who have been in her circle of friends and ac-
