that the editor of a leading newspaper should declare over his own name what Sheehan admits so unbushingly in his card, that Lewis does dispose of a large vote in Alabama, and that this newspa- per is one of his dependents, with no right left except the poor one of pro- test.
 HENDERSON AND LEWIS
 Henderson's campaign manager in con sultation with Lewis in the solemn watches of the night-far from home in another state, secretly and hoping to keep it secret. What does it all mean?
 Henderson hopes to be Governor through the liquor vote and money deliv- cred by Charles Lewis, and through the railroad vote delivered by Sid Bowie and George Jones. and such honest men as these can deceive.
 SELLING OUT A STATE But, after all. men lying, consorting with liquor bosses and making arrange ments for corruption money are small matters compared to the offense commit- ted by Mr. Henderson and Governor ONeal in the recent compromise made by tn ! with the recalcitrant and re- bellious railroads.
 In that compromise they surrendered
 
 and got no consideration in return The people had been saving up rebate coupons and excess freight receipts, es- timated all the way from $1 ,5G0, GOO to s. C00,000. Nobody puts it lower than the first figure. These were the property of the people, waiting for collection on decision of the United States Supreme Court, foreshadowed for the people by de- cisions in similar cases in Missouri, Ar kansas and Minnesota. The eminent at torneys for the State who had fought the cases for seven years, were confi- dent of victory, and were on the eve of establishing for all time the power of the State to regulate the charges of its public service corporations.

Governor of Alabama. scratched out mill lions of the peoples valuable secur ities. Why did they do it? gro BEAT OLD CONFER. Because they thought they could turn It into political advantage for Charles Henderson in his race for Governor. For fancied political advantage they surrendered all the State had gained they save back a perpetual power over rates to Inferior Federal Judge Jones: they sold out coupon and excess freight receipt holders bag and bag gage, and made Alabama a laughing stock in every railroad office in this country.

Care of Linen

Do you consider it best to wash em- broidered linens, towels, centerpieces, etc, if they are to be laid away before used How would you advise keeping gifts Of linens-laundered, of course-from get ting yellow? F. G."
 Have the starch washed out and iron smooth. Never lay away anything that is likely to yellow without washing out the stiffening. This done, line the box or trunk with light blue tissue paper and lay cakes of pure white wax here and there among the linen. Shut up the box and give yourself no anxiety as to the contents. Linen thus protected will keep many months without yellowing. Cover the linen with layer of the blue tissue paper.

Dodd farm i'm Butler township, where
well drillers struck one vein twenty
feet thick at a depth of 430 feet. A
small amount of oil also was found.
Samples brought up by rotary
drill when the vein was struck show
ed it to be fair quality of bitumiL-
Gus coal. which burned nicely. The
drill also brought no oil. which float
ed on the surface of the water and
burned when touched with a match.
That oil is in the locality also is
demonstrated by the fact that when
Kenton brothers. on the farm adjoin-
ing the Dodd place on the west drill
ed well, samples of oils were found
floating on the water. Traces of oil
have been found on other wells in the
vicinity.
The we'll at the Dodd farm has now
been sunk to depth of 40 feet.
Water, with some indications of gas

pierced. The Dodd farm is located

SOME LIGHT ON
THE DRAPER FIRE

Draper Democrat:-The susp' cions
that the origin of the big ire in
Draper last March in which the larg-
est and best part of our town was
destroyed, was of an ii.cendiary ma.
ture are being constantly substanti-
ated. Although the matter had ap.
parently been dropped and was being
forgotten there are several who have
been quietly working on the case and
the information obtained has led to
the arrest Of j. +. Kennedy, in whose
place of business the fire started, on
an alleged charge of arson.
Last Sunday the first real surprise
came when the writer while out hunt
ing cotton tails, found bunch of
clothing which was reported to have
burned the night of the fire. The
goods were readily recognized but in
order 10 clear any pc 5sible doubt as To
their identity several were notified of
,uo aou VINO inspected them and came
TO the same conclusions. Proper au-
thorities were then notified and after
a little further investigation caused
the arrest as above stated.

bound over to the June term of cir

Gulfport, Miss. Dec. 6.-President
Wilson discovered the home of Mrs.
j. II, Neville on fire here today, and
while he directed two chauffeurs and
two secret service men how to extiu-
guish the blaze he allayed Mrs. Ne
ville's fears. The president was re-
turning to Pass Christian from a golf
course and was riding in the front
seat of an automobile when he saw
smoke coming from the roof Of the
Neville home. He quickly alighted
from the car and went into the house,
where he encountered Mrs. Neville,

alarmed. These gentlemen here

President Wilson 10 Mrs. Neville.

James Sloan and Jack Wheeler, and
the two chauffeurs, Charles Fredericks
and George Robinson, rushed up
stairs Mr.. Wilson quieted Mrs. Ne
vile and assured her she was in no
danger and that her home would not
be destroyed,
The flames In the roof had not
gained great headway and We're easi-
ly put out by the use of the fire ex-
tinguisher carried on the White House
automobiles.
Mrs. Neville, who is an elderly wo.
man, was excited when the president
first told her of the fire. She rushed
to the bathroom to get bucket of
water and then hurried upstairs to
show the governmental firefghters

induced her to come down. however,

In every artesian well that has been
sunk OH this side of the river the flo "
OF gas is strong. There are also num-
erous springs, the surface of whose
waters are covered with an oil scum
which burns freely when a match Is
applied. We will venture the asser.
tion that at no place within the state
are indications of oil more plentiful
than in the country west OF the Mis-
sour river. Here's wishing the new
company good luck.
