There is some very interesting
reading matter being brought out
in the Congressional tariff reduc
ton committee investigations.
The main facts gathered from the
witnesses seem to be these, That
the tariff under excessive protec-
ton was intended to keep out for
eign competition; that under it
trusts were formed, that the bulk
of the stock in these trusts was
water, that nevertheless they paid
a reasonable per cent on this
water, that Interference with the
present tariff is interfering with
the divine right oe the manufac-
turer. One witness went so far as
to say that anyone reducing prices
ought to be put in Jail. One cot
ton tie manufacturer said that in
his business there was good hon
est competition, still there was
nothing he feared SO much as hav-
ing his product put on the free
list. In other words they could
manage competition here but were
afraid they could not manage for
eign competition. The aluminium
manufacturers acknowledged that
with less than two millions invest
ment their stock was thirty mil
lions, on which they were making
per cent dividend.

one year nearer our eternal home.
Many of our old friends have been
called the past year. We too will
soon answer to the summons. Let

of each other, for the time on earth

hold malice or i'll will in our hearts
toward anyone. Crops in our
part were reasonably good. w c

family in this part of the country,
something like 80 bales cotton and

ago. Gins are still running but
most of the cotton gathered. Peo-
pie have been pulling their bolls
instead of picking the last few
months. We get about as usuch
for boil cotton as that we pick.

Tishomingo Is now furnishing

the plan of working by tax. They

would add to the suggestion by
Two Brothers that the work be
done under contract with bond for
faithful performance of same,
specifications to be furnished by a
state road commissioner according
to the grade of road to be made.
One grade to be gravel or stone

such material as road bed will
furnish. No harm in letting a
man work out his road tax at a
nominal price or furnish material
in lieu of same, but under the road
