 Opas.
 Opaae are so sensitive that their beauty Is frequently destroyed by their wearer's proximity to an open fire. The hster of this stone is caused by the presence of myrtads of little fis- sures, which defect the light into the characteristic prismatic color of the gem. The tiniest of these Assures is likely at any moment to destroy the stone.

Kindly Fruits.

The expression In the prayer book Kindly fruits of the earth" has for most persons no definite meaning on account of the difference in signif canoe now attached to the word kind, ly from that used when the expression was first written. The word kindly in that connection meant as nearly as possible "of it's kind" and the express sion kindly fruits of the earth meant "the fruits of the earth each after Hs kind"

Selma, December 1s.-(Special.) )-Se1ma promises to have a strong club in the Southeastern league next spring when that organization begins it's second season.
 Captain Howard of the local club has been busy all during the past few months working upon his club for next summer. Several new men will be signed for the next season, and the game promises to prove successful in this city from the opening to the closing of the season.
 Several games are being negotiated for with Southern league clubs for the pre- liminary season. More games could be secured for the Selma club if it was known what time the season of the Southeastern league will open. As soon as the next meeting of the directors and owners of the Southeastern league is held and it is determined when the season will open, the management of the Selma club will arrange for a number of games
 Selma fans are not talking much base ball during the holiday season, but every follower of the game here would like to to this city while on their trips through the south. If the season of the South eastern is opened soon enough Captain Howard will try to arrange for several games but it is very sure that games will be played here with the majority of the Southern league clubs
 No information as to who will manage the Selma club during the coming season has been given out yet. It is generally believed, though, that the club will start out under the management af Chastant, under who the season was wound up dur ing the past summer Chastant proved the best manager Selma had during the

CITY COMMISSION
 WILL MEET TODAY

The city commissioners will meet this morning. The principal business of the session will be consideration of the Ems ley park purchase and the referendum petition which will be given the com missoners today, having been certified by Judge Stiles yesterday.
 The purchase of the Ensley park pur- chase was passed from the last meeting by request of Commissioner Lane, al- though Commissioners Exum and Wealth erly had looked into the proposition care fully, and were ready to vote.
 It is indicated that Commissioner Lane will oppose the purchase of the total acreage. He Is said to be in favor of small park, but not in favor of plung- ing the city into debt to the extent of $90,OC0 for one park.
 It is gathered that Commissioners Weatherly and Exum will vote to buy the total acreage belonging to the Ens- ley Land company, and the company of which Lee c. Bradley is president. II is probable that the commissioners will also buy some land near Tdelwild parl, belonging to F. Wilkinson and associ- ates, and strip near North Birmingham park, which adjoins the city property d, that place.
 The referendum petition will be received and acted upon It is generally under stood that the city will have the cleo ton at an early date.
 The license schedule will come up fol an attack today, when Crawford John. son will ask for reduction of the h, cense placed against his company Other routine matters will be acted upon.

CANADIAN CAPITAL.
 BACKS POWER CO. Interest Being Shown in At lanta in Outcome of Pro-
 posed Combination

Atlanta, December 1S-(speciaL) )-Great interest is being shown here in the out come of tine proposed combination, fath- cred by the Georgia Railway and Power company, which for some weeks has been having hearings before the Georgia rail- road commission with view to obtaining charter, by which certain powers would be given it.
 This company, which is backed largely by Canadian capital, requested permission of the commission to issue $3O,O O,OOO in bonds, and S27OOOOOO in capital stock It wanted the tailroad commission to confirm the lease by the company of the Georgia Railway and Electric company of Atlan- la. It wanted number of other things. little in comparison with those already de- tailed
 The petition was fought largely by the interests behind the movement to pre- serve Talluiah from the alleged destroy ing hand of commercalism. leading spirit in the fight has been Mrs. Helen Long street, who has been writing many cards In the newspapers against the petition, and has also appeared with others before
 
 able action.
 The railroad commission in its decision on Saturday granted only a past of what was asked, and it is apparent that the capitalists are far from pleased with the order
 1 The issue Of bonds of S3O,O00,OOO is ap- proved, but only s12,500,000 to be issued until at another and d later hearing the company presents satisfactory evidence of real development in the work to be un- dertaken.
 The issue of stock was cut from $2700O,- GOO to $l7,QO00C0, and of this amount $2 0OJ, 70 GOO to be preferred and Sl5,O00,OOO common stock.
 The commission refused to take any ac- ton at all on the lease of the Georgla Railway and Electric company holding that 1t had TO right to pass on that point
 It is pointed out in Atlanta that in all probability the capitalists behind the scheme will not be very favorable to the new order of things, and will refuse to go any further with the scheme unless a modification of the order can be secured
 Jack Spalding, who is the Atlanta repre- sentative, has nothing to say at present on whether the company will accept the permission of the commission as granted or will throw up the scheme. It is under stood, however, that there will be a con- ference of those interested in the near l,,- ture.
 It is charged by those who oppose the merger of the power companies, that by the merger practically all the water power in Georgia would have passed into the hands of one big corporation, which would thus become a great monopoly.

Washington, December 1S.-(Speeial.)- l read the story somewhere, possibly in Lord HerVey's George H." possibly in the Suffolk Papers" of Dean Swift's at tack on the Duchess of Somerset in his "Windsor Prophecy accusing that lady of being accessory to the murder of her first husband and of having red hair. Her Grace gave no heed to the accusation of murde-. which was islander, but she furiously denied that she was a red headed woman, which was the truth, as all could see at a glance. The poverty of my vocabulary makes me call the lady's defense a sample of naivete, though I sus- pect that 1t could be better and more aptly characterized.
 Now here is another pattern of naivete from the leading organ of privilege in this town:
 Democrats who are giving voice to the fear that President Taft may succeed ill 6 deep-laid plot to sidetrack the tariff and rush the trust problem to the front are apt to find more cause for concern should their present fears prove ground less. History has proved that the tariff
 
 1t has likewise proved, however, that when poitection-not the amount of pro- tection, out the principle itself-is at issue the sentiment of the public is overwheim- ingly in favor of that doctrine.
 Now, however, the democrats will have to decide whether they want to force the fundamental issue to the front If the President recommends substantial reductions to the margin where protection begins, ana the democrats go below that Z point there will be nothing left but bit ter battle between the revenue men and the proteclionists at the election in 1912 And when the issue has been thus sharp ly drawn in the past, the republicans have carried the country.
 viewing the matter in this light, President Taft is more likely to force the tariff to the front, rather than try to side track it in favor of the trust problem Before finally deciding on their policy and firing their guns, the democrats should view the field and its many possibilities and pitfalls They should not rush pell- mell into battle without making sure of tfeir ground.'
 The issue is made up. Neither the President nor the Congress can shift it. It is the old old, the perennial quarrel be- tween right and wrong, truth and error, and it can be stated this way: Shall tax alton be for the pubic service or for pri- vate greed? Shall profitable industries be assessed b support other industries that avow they cannot support themselves? Shall the farmer raising hogs in Kansas or Missouri be compelled to noursh the fellow in Maine or Massachusetts whose trade is 70 catch fish? That is all there is to this tarifs, all there ever was in 1t, all that can be in it.
 If President Taft and his party do not want to sidetrack the tariff issue why did he deal exclusively with d matter in his annual message that there is not going to be any quarrel over? Ostensibly both parties are against the trusts and certain

XMAS TREES
 SENT TO NEW YORK

New York, December 1S.-New York city will use nearly 800 0O0 Christmas trees this year, and the ultimate con sumer will pay for them S250, ,000, or an average of 50 cents per tree. Wall street, where the steamers from New England dock, smells like an open forest. The Christmas tree season is at its height and thousands of the small fir are piled up beside the boat land ings waiting for distribution to the re- tail trade.
 There appears to be no falling off in the demand for trees," said a dealer. He handles 10000 or 50.00O trees every winter ''On the contrary" he said. their popularity is increasing so that there is a shortage of tlre vir- gin supply. 1t takes from 10 to 15 years to raise a tree big enough to use, and those in the more accessible for ests are fast being cut out.'
