called for supply to the top stories
of these buildings and while the up-

the water did not reach that high and
there were numerous demands for re-

The Traction Company has offered
to contract and supply the city with
an abundance of water, give any reas-
enable pressure demanded, at what is
said to be considerably less per 1000
gallons than the city is at present pay
ing under its own water system
The change, however, it is claimed
by the commissioners. would entail a
larger initial expenditure of funds.

advance the funds. than the city is
prepared to make, for under the law
the city cannot contract debts which
it is unable to pay out Of current re-
ceipts
The service offered would doubtless

present service and in the long run
would probably be more economical,
and the commissioners are anxious to
better the service and economize, but
the eyer-present money question de-
mands first consideration.

CARNEGIE AND FRICK

Writing on THE Significance of Henry
Clay Frick" in the January Metropoli-
tan Magazine, Albert W. Atwood says
THE bulk of Frick's fortune is invest
ed elsewhere than in steel. He is the
largest real estate owner and landlord in
Pittsburgh. His purchase of the St.
Pauls Cathedral and United Presbyter-
ian sites for ST. ESQ. 900 is said to have
constituted the largest single real estate
deal ever put through in that city. At
one time he owned more than $l3. 900, :
900 of real estate in Pittsburgh. In
New York City he had at one time $3,-
900. 600 of property and his country
home at Pride's Crossing, Mass, is as
sessed at $564. 600. But it is of the
railroad securities that Frick has
bought most heavily. He enjoys the in
teresting distinction of being the largest
individual owner of railroad stock in
this country. his holdings exceeding
even those of John D. Rockefeller.
''Frick has never quite forgiven Car
negie. He has constructed an Office
building in Pittsburgh which overtops
the Carnegie Building and shuts out is
light. He has purchased the Lenox Ii
brary site on Fifth Avenue, New York
City, for 81. 400. 600 and will there erect

GRAPHITE MADE FROM COAL.

Graphite. the commonest use of which
is seen in the lead" .pencil is almost
pure carbon. This mineral is therefore
only step removed from coal and in
fact some of the natural graphite depos-
it's are found in coal beds. where the
intrusion of masses of intensely Iique-
fed igneous rock has metamorphosed the
coal, thus forming graphite. An exam
pie of this natural manufacture of grap-
hite out of coal is described in. one of
the reports of the United States Geoloe-
ical Survey on the Ration coal field of
New Mexico. On the other hand. large
quantities of hieh-grade graphite are ar
ticially manufactured direct from or
dinary coal.
In making lead pencils the graphite is
mixed with clay of fine grain and the
greater the proportion of the clay consti-
tuent the harder the pencil. Exceeding
ly soft pencils with large leads contain
but little clay.

one of his rare visits to town. On being
asked how his crops turned out this year
he informed his questioner he had put
in no crops this year, aside from little
oats, because experience in spring con-
ditions had led him to anticipate an
unfavorable season. Asked ''how about
next year, he answered 1912 would be
fair, 1913 better. 1914 better and 1915
the crest of period of succeeding
good years. That MIR. Glennan may
prove true prophet we all fervently
hope Certain it is his long residence
up this way enables him to foretell the
signs that herald cycle of good years

A new ARMORY
and EQUIPMENT
For Artillery Organization In Vicks-
burs-only One in The
State.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 20.-Adjt.-G Gen.
Arthur Fridge, of the Mississippi Ma
tional Guard, and Lieut.. Edgar Coffey,
of the United States Army, have re-
turned from Vicksburg where they at
tended a citizens meeting to discuss
the matter of providing the Warren
Light Artillery with new equipment.
This is the only artillery organiza-
ton in the state, and the war depart
ment has offered to provide it with
equipment worth about $S5,000 but it
will not be furnished unless the COM
pany is provided with an adequate
armory. At present the company has
is equipment stored in makeshift quar-
ters.
AS a result of the conference be-
tween Gen. Fridge, Lieut.. Coffey and
the citizens of Vicksburg a movement
has been launched to raise funds for
an armory building, costing not less
than $4,000. A committee was ap-
pointed to undertake the work, and
the war department will doubtless re-
ceive an assurance within the next
few days that proper facilities will be
provided for the new equipment.

Il wonder how long the North is
going to play the hypocrite and
moral coward on this question:
asked Borah
"The negro has been used as a po-
litical football about as long as our
own sense of decency and his develop

"The negro is beginning to realize
that the white man of the North is of
the same race as the white man of

just as intense in the north as in the
south, and that the north plays the
hypocrite in its contentious to the
contrary, was boldly and bluntly as
serted in the senate one day last week
by republican senator.
The speaker was Senator Borah Of
Idaho. His declarations regarding the
negro were made at the close of a
prolonged speech in opposition to the
Sutherland amendment to the senate
resolution providing for the election
of senators by popular vote. That
amendment would have the effect Of
giving congress control of senatorial
elections.
The Idaho senator's announcement
on the race question was made In re-
Spouse to the recent assertion of Sen
ator Root that without the Sutherland
provision the resolution would deprive
the southern negroes of federal pro-
lection in the exercise of the fran
chise. Mr.. Borah dissented from the
New York senator's view and in doing
so used language which elected con-
gratulations from many senators.
He Used All The Time.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Borah's notice
that he would ask the senate to sit to-
day until a vote could be reached on
the election resolution, the proceed
ings on that measure were confined to
his own discussion of it. He succeed
ed, however, in getting a concession
that the resolution be taken up tomor-
row after the disposition of the rou-
tine business and without waiting I'M
til o'clock, which will give an addi-
tional hour and half The postpone
ment was granted to accommodate a
of senators who still desire
to speak on the subject.
Mr.. Borah already had spoken for
almost three hours when he entered
