east, and other currents coming
into the gulf, crowd the warm wa
ter out and send the big wide
stream into the Atlantic with a
whirl which starts it in a north
erly and easterly direction. The
same Providence that makes the
grass grow makes the course OF
the current and it flows for thou
sands of miles, gradually dSSipat-
ing at the edges but still a warm
water river until it breaks on the
coast of the British Isles and in
to the North Sea. Perhaps Mr..
Vischer would not recognize this
explanation, but | have translat-
ed it into a vernaeular which |
can understand.
The Gulf stream reminds me OF
the Mediterranean. Not having
much else to worry about | have
gone to worrying over the Medi-
terranean sea. The ocean always
flows into the sea. The current
through the strait of Gibralter
is always inward. Many great
rivers contribute to the blue wa
ters of the great sea. There Is
no known outlet. Why does not
the Mediterranean run over and
fill the Sahara desert, which is
considerably below the sea level?
Scientists have tried to figure
this out and the only tangible the
Ory is that the bottom OF the
Mediterranean leaks badly in
some places and that the water
finds its way by subterranean
channels back to the ocean. What
would happen if an eruption OF
VeSuvius should stop up the dran
pipe? Now worry.
Tonight we saw another phe-
nOmenOn. the aurora bOrealiS. 1t
looked to me like a beautiful sun
set in the north. We are sailing
in the North Sea along the coast
of Belgium and the water reaches
!nOrtwhard to the pole. The au-
rOra bOrealis is another phenOme-
non not explained but Mr.. Vischer
says it is probably the reflection
of the sun from the ice mirror
Of the Arctic. And it does make
you feel peculiar to see what is
apparently the light of the sun
set flare up toward the "dipper"
and the north star.

TO STANDARDIZE COTTON

Washington, Dec. 22.-The Depart
ment of Agriculture has inaugurated
campaign to standardize American
cotton so that it will be accepted al

A TRIBUTE TO SENATOR H0KE
SMITH.

Senator HOke Smiths many friends
in Americas and the surrounding
country will read with pleasure recen
comments on him by the Cincinnati
Enquirer, one of the leading Demo
cratic papers of the Middle West
Says that we'll known journal, in dis
cussing Southern men who have abil
ity and prominence enough to make
good presidential timber:
What of Georgias honored son
Augustus o. Bacon, whose legal at
tainments, whose high sense Of duty
and sturdy insistence upon abiding
within the powers of the constitution
would make him an ideal president
In Senator Bacon the party would
have candidate progressive as well
as safe and conservative.
Georgia has sent another eminent
man but recently to the senate who
has served his country and his party
ably and well in other fields of public
service, and measures up in intellect,
learning, training, culture and cour-
age with any man named for the pres
idency.
Hon. Hoke Smith in 1896 was one
of those who failed not to answer the
call of the people of Georgia and to
follow the democratic party in its dec
laration of principles, giving up high
office rather than surrender his con-
victons as to what was politically
right.
He stands in daylight and disdains
to hide
An act to which by honor he is
tied
"Hoke Smith has ever stood with
his people and for his people, and has
earned the confidence of all demo-
Gratis through his attachment to the
party in hours of darkness as we'll as
in those of brilliant glory.
"The list of available men in the
senate could be heightened, but The
Enquirer only desires to call atters
ton of the public to the large number
of tried and true men that the demo-
cratic party can ankle its selection
from when it names its leader for the
of 1912"

The great places in the life of the
new America do not belong to doctrin-
Aries or academic men-even the
purest, says the New York American
From John Bigelow and the like
statesmen of all earlier day the public
men of the present may learn a les
son of scrupulous disinterestedness
and the fixed habit of Identifying their
whole lives with the public interest.
But the day has come in this country
for a new race of publicists, whose
genius has no pallor of scholarship,
no smell of the lamp who do not ex-
pect to save the country by nice dis
tinctions in debate, or by the applica-
ton of theorems-who understand
that the Republic is a vast enterprise
in civil engineering, and that its sue
cess depends upon the practical sci
ence and devotion of the engineers"

The growth of the South these Last
tory reads like romance; it is truth
made stronger than fiction. And that
has been done during the severest
panic and the most depressed four
years following that, in times of peace,
have ever fallen upon this country.
When this depression lifts, (and it is
Iifung) the rapid, wonderful, enduring
growth of the South will surpass any
thing this great country of wonderful
resources and matchless development
has ever attained.

Since Teddy Roosevelts friends are
fighting openly for him it is well for
the Taft supporters to take alarm.
Colonel Roosevelt is well versed in
the art CT nominating Presidents, has
stronger personal following than
any public man has had in recent
years, was elected President by larg-
er popular majority than any man
ever received and has the insurgents
behind him. If there is anything ap-
parent at this time 1t is that the
stand-pats are in bad favor with the

No doubt the people of Louisiana
will be glad when the gubernatorial
campaign is over. 1t is worse than
anything Georgia ever put up. The
light for the governorship seems to
be a libel contest between the several
candidates. Mems names and reputa-
tons are being handled in the most
reckless fashion. The charges run
all the way from petit larceny to col
1ecting double salaries and committing
murder. As the Wilmington Star says:
The man who aspires to be governor
OF some states of this Union have to
'have powerfully clean records and
even then it will be hard work to
wash of the smut.

DISORDERS FROM INDlS-
CRIMlNATE MIXING OF
FOODS.

"The disturbing effects Of
fruits are as much DUE" says
Or. Henry o. seeson in "PhysI-
olosic Therapeutics" to the
manner of their use as 20 the
excess of the acids and the
salts. HabituaIIy eaten with
starches they hinder digestion
by their acid reaction. Fruit
alone can often be we'll borne,
when disorder would result II
eaten with starchy food, be-
cause starch is digestibIe only
in an alkaline medium. The
mixing of fruits with meat, eggs
or milk is no less Objectionable,
for other reasons. The objee-
tions to mixing foods lndiscrIn-
inateIy, according to the COM
mon practice, has been urged
by the writer for many years,
and his investigations into the
nutritional disturbances caused
by this almost universal habit,
led to the conclusion some
years ago, that the dIsorganlza-
ton of nutrition resulting from
this practice is the predisposlne
cause TO cancer and to disease
in general-on the physical side,
for the mind is a co-efficient fac
tor in health and disease-and
Or. 5eeson has arrived at the
conclusion by a different line of
Investigation that this is the
cause of constipation and the
train of Ills that follow.

A toast to the man who dares,

 It is a matter of marking time for ths present on the House side, which is awaiting something definite as to what the Senate will do on the bills before 1t. Reciprocity still stands first in the minds of congressman.

 If the Senate accepts the House reso- lution and it becomes a law, the peo- pie of the two territories will be assured of statehood. The resubmission of DOT tions of the two constitutions Is intended only to give the voters another oppor- turity to say whether in the case of Ari- zona they desire the right to recall their judges and in that of New Mexico wheth- CT they are satisfied with the strict pro visions against an amendment.

 prepared and filed his information bearing on the impeachment proceedings with the court
 Attorneys for MT. Duncan filed motions to quash the proceedings and to strike out the information as d whole and at the same time filed demurrers to the information. The first motion was to the effect that the proceeding was null and void, because only the solicitor of the circuit court could file the information while it was in fact filed by the solicitor of the city court. The other motion was to the effect that the order setting a day for the hearing and answer could only be made by the judge of the court while In fact it was made by an asso- ciate judge. These two motions were overruled as having no merits. The de- murrer to the information and the sev- eral specifications. however, were sus- tained, which has the same effect and this throws the case out of court.
 Mir. Duncan's friends were congratulat- ing him today on his great victory and congratulations were also extended to MT. Smile as the decision of the court In large measure eXonerates both gentlemen of the charges against them. They are both very popular in Mont gomery and throughout the county, and their friends felt confident that they were innocent of the charge and that time would exonerate them fully

 The curtailment in Fall River this week was heavier than usual, due partially to fhe centennial celebration. The curtail- ment for the week there exceeded 100000 pieces of goods.
