 To show that we have no hoarded money to amount to anything in the south let J. P. Morgan and the Rocke- feller crowd close up the money vaults of Wall street for a few weeks and see how soon the south would go into financial spasms. We have not yet for gotten few years ago swhen the high financiers of Wall street for their selfish purposes closed up their money bags and cotton tumbled down over cents a pound, and we could not get our money out of the bank if we wanted it.
 What kind of a song was the Man Record singing then? It was headed Wall Street Is not to blame
 The south Is, and the west has been, the great exploiting ground for the money trust (which the democratic party seems afraid to lay hands on) to reap their harvests from and their allies are scattered all through our fair land to lend them a helping hand. We are the busy bees that make the honey of cotton, corn, coal, iron, tim ber etc, and weave the comb with our mills for the bear and bull of WaA street (which is another name for Nor gan and Rockefeller), with their wa tered railroad stock their government given control of finances and eXces- sive tariff rates to suck all our honey and devour the comb.
 Yes, the south Is making money. but 1t goes to fill the tills of q distant foe, and the Manufacturers Record ire quently sings us this swan song of prosperity while we sink. Great Is the Man Record for some others interests, but not ours M B. CAMERON.

VIADUCT NEARLY ONE
 MILE LONG OPENED

Dallas, Tex, February 22.-The usual form of dedication ceremony varies in the plans of the opening today of the via- duct which joins this city with it's largest suburb known as Oak Cliff.

The plans were objected to by the womens clubs of this city, led by the w. c. T. L. delegation, who declared they did not want the viaduct stained with wine. The Dallas-oak Cliff viaduct, de- clared to be the longest reinforced con7 crete viaduct in the world, is 4lso feet.
