A correspondent Of the Literary Di-
gest ayers that the famous crack IN
the Liberty Bell is not a crack, but
only the fac-simile Of a crack. His as
sertion ID that the original bell was in
deed cracked, but that the present bell
is recast from a model of the old
one, with the crack filed up, though
still showing the lines of the de-

Makes Good Road.

In the "gumbo" regions of the lower
Mississippi valley, where the roads
have been the worst in the world,
progressive citizens have taken to
burning the clay of the soil and
spreading this material over the high
ways. The "gumbo" is so changed by
the heat that it presents a fairly hard
and mudless surface, even after a
heavy rain.

WOODROW WILSON CHOSEN
PRESIDENT BY MAJORITY
THAT BREAKS RECORDS
CONTINUED from First PAGE,

Banner extra issued at noon today
claims the election by safe margin
OF an anti-Patterson and anti-Dibrell
legislature. With the aid of eleven
votes of Shelby county it will be over
whelmingly so. In the senate saven-
teen republicans and Independents
have been elected and in addition two
regulars are said to be against Pat
terson, and also three Shelby sena.
tors are claimed to be anti-Dibrell
and anti-Patterson.
In the house twenty-three republi-
cans and fifteen independents have
been chosen and in addition two reg
ulars are known to be anti-Patterson.
This makes total Of forty anti-Pat-
terson votes. Add to these the eight
members from Shelby county and
there are forty-eight known anti.Pat-
terson men in the house. Eleven
members are in doubt with a chance
for the fusionists to elect some Of
them.
The house will almost cerainly be
against prohibition, but with an indi-
Gated majority of one in the senate
for prohibition It seems improbable
that the law will be repealed.
No returns whatever have been re-
ceived from Shelby County, which
given rise to many rumors and much
speculation.
Complete and incomplete returns
from almost every county in the state
indicate the reelection Of Hooper
for governor by very materially de-
creased majority. The Banner esti-
mates that Hooper will win by about
5000 majority which Is about half of
what he had two years ago. No re-
turns have been received from Shelby

BAPTIST MISSION
FUND A SUCCESS
THEY HAVE RAISED $1,5ot02
MORE THAN THE AS
SESsMENT.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 5.-Dr. ]. w.
Gillon, secretary of the Baptist Mis-
sion Board for Tennessee, has made
out his annual report for missions
and announces that $1,504.02 more
has been raised than the amount as
sessed. The mission board asst year
assumed the task of raising s36. 900
for state missions, $4,000 for foreign
missions, $4,000 for home missions.
OF the sums assessed the following
have been subscribed: Home, S22,-
1877; foreign, S3,98612; state, $780,
1913. Total $S6,5O4.02, or $1,5O4.02
more than the sum asked for.
The committee on arrangements
for the Baptist state convention at
Murfreesboro reports that more than
200 names of visitors and delegates
have been sent in and homes have
been assigned them. 1t is expected
that fully 500 people will attend the
meeting.

INCOME TAX
AMENDMENT
THIRTY.THREE STATES HAVE
RATIFIED 1.-TWO MORE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Formal
notice Of the ratification by the state
Of Louisiana of the income tax con
stitutional amendment reached the
state department today. Thirty-three
states have given notice of their ap.
prevail Of this amendment and the
department Is daily expecting notice
from the state Of Ohio, whose legis.
lature has already acted favorably.
Affirmative votes Of only two states
are now necessary to make the three
fourths required by the constitution
for the adoption of the amendment.
It is not doubted here that the neces.
sary votes will be forthcoming during
the coming winter sessions Of the leg
islatures of the following ten states
which have not yet acted upon the
amendment: Delaware, Florida, Mas
sachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico,
Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia,
West Virginia and wyoming.
Only two states, Minnesota and
Massachusetts, have so far acted up
on the amendments submitted to
them by congress, providing for the

at / p. m. is 6,4S2 This is basel on
reports from all over the safe.

the defeat of Patterson for the SEN
ate and Dibrell for comptroller.

REV. T. A. PATTON WILL coNTlN-
uE IN THE PRESENT PASTo-
RAJ RELATION.
MEETING HERE THIS MORNING
Rev. J. c. MolIoy Is Chosen Modera-
tor at the Session at the Session
Room of the First Presbyterian
Church.

In accordance with the call issued
the first of the week Columbia Pres
bytery of the Southern Presbyterian
church met at the session room OF
the First Presbyterian church this
morning with the following represen
tatives present:
Rev. J. d. Wallace, of Mt. Pleasant;
Rev. D. B. Gregory, of Zion; Rev. A.
P. Gregory, the regular evangelist;
Rev. A. S. Venable, of Petersburg;
Drs. Dryden and McGrady, of Peters
burg; H. M. Fleming and A. P. Durk.

Zion; w. R. Noel, of Swan Creek;
M. C. Roseborough, of Pigg church;
Rev. J. c Molloy and Rev. w. T.
Spears, and c. T. Looney and w. s.
Fleming, of Columbia.
Rev. ]. C. Molloy was chosen mod
orator, and the chief purpose OF the
call was taken UP. The call was is
sued at the request Of Rev. T. A.
Patton. Of Petersburg, to dissolve
the relations between him and his
church, but when this was approach
ed there was suggestion that the
pastorate be given a new grouping,
and this prevailed and the matter Of
a dissolution was not taken up.
After this matter was disposed Of
there was a general discussion of
home mission work. DR.. Molloy
made an announcement regarding the
convention to be held here next
month in the cause of the million
and half movement, which has for
its object the promotion and foster
ing of all causes Of systematic nene-
fiiciaries.

county, but It Is conceded to McMil-
lin in the above estimate by 5000
votes.
Hooper made some decided gains
In Middle Tennessee, but he lost
heavily in East Tennessee, his ma
jorities in the section in the republi-
can strongaolds being uniformly less
than they were two years ago. 1t is
evident that the bull moose vote
went largely to McMillin. In West
Tennessee also McMillin made heavy
gains as compared with the vote of
two years ago.

Not SO Ridiculous As 1t Seems.

Very often memory reverts to a
proposition well maintained by A. E.
Young. farmer well informed and
of deep thought, who died several
years ago. at Little Rock. who thought
that every person should wear
In some form, his name on his hat
band, collar, wristlet Or some other
conspicuous place, for the general
information of those with whom be
was only casually associated. He
maintained that soon as the novelty
wore off, it would be neither ridicu-
lous nor embarrassing, but would be
great convenience in facilitating in
tercourse in business life. Espec-
tally in conventions, where people
met for a day, and are thrown
temporarily into the most intimate
relations, how convenient it would
be as means of facilitating unity OF
action, and what a valuable aid
to expression of ideas by the vocal
organs, which are acknowledged to
be ineffective many times in making
plain precise shades Of thought. A
knowledge of just who is speaking,
as well as who is hearing. are little
aids that would undoubtedly add to
thorough appreciation and the ease
of understanding. The suggestion
is one that Common Sense may well
assume the place of mentor and hand
maiden. 1t is not intended that
sign-boards be used with letters
inches in length, but neat little
ornament, of some pleasing shape be
adapted to the use, that can be dis
played without obtrusiveness when
ever the person is willing or desires
to be recognized. II may take the
form Of a pin or button. The STAND.
ARD does not expect to effect a rev.
olution by this suggestion. but it
wishes to direct popular thought in
a direction which may be productive
of approval as familiarity may &C.
custom the mind to the contempla-
ton Of ut present seeming i'm
possibility.

A COFFEE TRusr.-The Govern

A COFFEE TRUST. Govern
ment. it seems, is taking hand in
the Brazilian scheme for advancing
the price of coffee. An immense
amount of that commodity is tied up
in New York warehouses, as a first
step toward advancing a valorization
scheme. which is regarded as viola
ton of the Sherman antitrust law
and petition in equity has been
filed in the U. S. Court to decree the
scheme unlawful, and restrain the
said committee from Withholding cof-
fee from the market as q means for
raising the price. The Brazilian
State of San Paulo, the greatest cof-
fee district in the world, is said to
be party to the agreements which
are declared to be unlawful in the
United States. The immediate effect
of the valorization, has been to with
draw 10,8O0. 900 bags of coffee and to
increase the price of that grade to
IA 3-4C. nearly 100 per cent. The re-
suit shows that it is intended for the
benefit of individuals, more than to
aid the Brazilian State in paying its
heavy interest on loan made by
London and New York banks which
has been alleged as cause.
