OVER CONSOLIDATION
Board of Trade Turns the
Uniting With IIlihee Club
Over to Executives.
SOME STRONGLY OBJECT
Strong Sentiment Is Shown in Favor
of Keeping Board Of Trade as
, 1t Now Is.
SOME STRONGLY OBJECT

Declaring that he is earnestly op'
posed to any move to class the Board
of Trade as side show Of the Illihee
club, by amalgamating the two organi'
cations, with the club to the social fea-
lures and be exclusive and separate
from the commercial branch Of such a
club, President D 'Arcy, Of the Board
of Trade, brought forth round of ap'
plause and incidentally aroused ad'
verse sentiment on the part Of Q. L..
Dick, president Of the Illihee club,
at the meeting held in the Board Of
Trade quarters last night, and the en-
tire matter Of the consolidation was
finally placed in the hands of the exec
utive committee Of the commercial
body with instructions to proceed with
the dissolution Of the Board Of Trade,
and preparations to receive final vote
after due publicity has been given Of
the proposed consolidation.
A heated argument ensued between
President darcy and President Dick
over the feasibility and the results of
consolidating the Board Of Trade and
the Illihee club by requiring members
of the former organization to either
pay $40 for initiation and fees amount
ing to $3.50 a month in order to enjoy
the social privileges, or donate whatev-
er they saw fit and lend their labors to
forward the interests of the commercial
department, and not be permitted to
mingle with the members, as a whole, of
the association.

The usual accounts were al
lowed, and the Board adjourned
from day to day TO transact other
business necessary before finally
adjourning the January meeting,
The members of the Board are
to be commended upon the har-
moniOus manner in which they
have started their deliberations,
and il seems to be the intent of
each member to eliminate all
friction and to get together to
wipe out the present indebted
ness Of the city as fast as
they consistently can. The per-
sonncl Of the board assures their
constituency of a substantial ad-
mInistration, if they will only
give proper time and attention to
their duties, and we feel sure
that each of these gentlemen will
fully merit the confidence placed
in their ability and integrity.

Plans for the extension of the
parcels present post system to
permit the sending of 1OO-pound
packages have been mapped out
by Representative David j. Lewis,
of Maryland, who will urge his
scheme under the Wilson admin
iStratlon. The plans involve the
establishment of a secondary or
fast freight parcels post and en-
largement of the classification so
as to include everything shipped
by private express companies, a
working scheme for collect on de-
livery, a door-to-door delivery
and a graduating of the rates to
the actual cost of conducting the
business. TO establish the fast
freight or secondary parcels post
Mr.. Lewis would have the gov
ernment lease cars or space in
cars attached to the fast freight
trains maintained by railroads be-
tween large cities. He says it is
possible that under the present
parcels post legislation the post
master general has the power to
establish the proposed extension
without further authority from
Congress.

SIRED ON COURT SQUARE.

The members Of Chakcbuima
Chapter d. a. X. presented a pcti-
ton 10 the Board Of Supervisors,
this week, asking that an elegant
drinking fountain be erected Oh

granting the request under ad-
viscmcnt until a future meeting.
The Chapter will also make a
similar request Of the City Coun-
ell to erect a drinking fountain on
the grounds Of the new post office
building.
Both should be established
without question, as they would
afford an opportunity to children
ana others 10 get a drink Of pure,
fresh hcaIth-giying water at all
times,
The Commonwealth commends
these noble ladies for their
lhoughtful0cSs in making these
requests, and hopes that both

LET US FORGET.

A good memory for a kindness
is a beautiful thing, but equally
beautiful is a poor memory for an
eyilturn.
J The beginning Of the year is a
good place TO lay down old
gr0tches, old resentments, old
metal sores. 1t is an affront TO
the Maker of all things and to
ouH own higher nature to carry
detasing things like these into the
untied life that lies before us.
/ Wdare entering UPON new race;
let hs go into it stripped for run
ming
let US forget!
Forget the sights, the wounds,
the blows, the bitter ingratitude
. that fell to US during the past
year. If one was unkind to you,
if another betrayed you, if anoth-
er rhaligned you, you can not rise
to a higher plane than to stand
up h the pristine dawn of the
new year and say "I will forget
| it,"
ID doing this you triumph over
your own baser nature and you
rise superior to your enemy's de-
signs. He meant you to remem-
bcr and in remembering to suf-
fer and to sink 10 lower levels;
that would have been his victory,
but you rob him of it when you
cease to bear the grudge in mind.
How can you hate him if you no
longer retain your resentment
against him? How can he contin-
ue TO hate you if he looks into
your eyes and finds there no
shadow Of his i'll treatment? In
vahquishing your own enmity you
diSarm his. Hate must have some
thing to feed upon if it is to con-
tinue to live, when you no longer
pander to its appetite by an un-
disguised memory of its exist
ence, you starve it into insignifi-
canoe.
And more than that: You plant
in its stead the seed of a respect
that must blossom into white
flower of faith. When you have
forgotten that your enemy did, or
could do mean thing, you un-
consciously raise his standard of
himself and inspire him TO live up
to it. He becomes a better man
for your lapse of memory, and
certainly you are better for hav-
ing cast out from your own heart
the devil of a nagging resentment.
Therefore, LET us forget.-Com
mercial Appeal.

Although there are still a few
households in which an old
colored woman cares for the lit
tie ones as lovingly and faithfully
as if they were of her own flesh
and blood, the black nanny" of
the South is nevertheless rapidly
passing away. Only those who
knew the old-time Southern home
can understand the feeling that
was aroused when the Daughters
of the ConfederaCy, in their re-
cent convention, proposed to put
up a fitting monument to the
faithful and affectionate creature
who will be soon known only in

Senator Wiley Sanders, the dis
tinguiShed editor Of the Koscius-
ko Star-Ledger, thinks The Com
monweaIth did him an injustice in
its recent mention of his appIca-
ton for appointment as u. S.
Marshal from the Northern Dis
trlct of Mississippi, by referring
to the fact that he was an enthu-
siastic Vardaman supporter and
entitled to the Senator-eleCt'S en-
dorSement Senator Sanders is
mistaken. We had no thought of
doing him any damage by men
tioning the fact the White Chief
should be with him in his aspira-
tons. Aside from his recent po-
liticaI alignmentS, Senator Sanders
is a mighty good man, well quail
fled for the position of Marshal,
and if appointed will make good"
in the discharge of his duties.
While it is true he was with the
majority of the voters of the State
in supporting Vardaman ct ais in
the last election, that is no argu-
ment that he was right-because
the majority is frequently wrong.

I'VE think the following defini-
ton of dollar is a pretty good
one. A dollar is what some men
promise to pay for their county
paper. 1t is something a news
paper man enjoys more in antici-
patton than in reality. 1t is the
price of a days work for some
men and a single nights drink
for others. 1t is what the wife
frequently needs, but seldom has.
1t is the power that makes or un-
makes men. 1t is the hardest
thing to get and the easiest thing
to get rid of known to mankind,
1t is a blessing in small measure
and a curse in a many instances.
II is mighty and scarce. No man
ever had more than he wanted
and no man never will. A dollar
is a snare and delusion and every
one of us is chasing the delusion." "

We have never advised the
man who is satisfactorily located
and doing well to move simply
for the sake of change. We have
said before, and we repeat it, that
if more of the energy spent in
changing locations were devoted
to the betterment of conditions at
home, every section of the coun-
try would be better off. When a
farmer changes his location there
should be some real reason for
the change. - The Progressive

THE BEST WAY.

The best way to build up a
town or community, is for all to
60 partners and work together.
Stand by every man who is doing
something, and don't knock.
Don't complain that you are do
ing more than someone else, but
look about you and see if some
other fellow is not doing more
than you are. There are always
plenty of progressive ones that
you can line up with, and your
association with them will make
you feel better. There is more
pleasure and satisfaction in doing
something-and a great deal
more is acCompliShed-than in
complaining because your neigh
Dor, in your own opinion, is not
carrying his part of the load.
You can lead a horse to water,
but you can't make him drink" "

thrown out in the system, your head
aches, you have chills and fever, you
are nervous and ill-tempered, your sys-
