DARIUS

The neigh Of a horse made Darius
King OF Persia. the six contendlng
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom. This ancient method OF
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today
II our partisan factions and petty pol
iticians could only settle their dis
putes by the neigh of a horse. the
bark of dog or the bray of donkey
1t would be a great blessing and would
give our citizens better opportunity
to pursue the yocations OF industry
free from political strife.
Let those who pick political plums
by raising rows ana who fash swords
dripping in the blood OF industry ua-
derstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into a political arena and
by a clash OF personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the plow
and that their quarrels must be settled
in the back alleys Of civilization

FREE PORTS
BUILDERS Of
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRo-
PRIATiONS.
BY Peter Rsdford.

tbs nat.cn is nov entering upon
an era of marine Development. The
wreckage Of European commerce has
drifted TO our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products of farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate. and our flag
is seldom seen in foreign ports. If
our government would only divert the
energy We have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads To mastering the
commerce OF the sea a foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways
This article will be confined to a
discussion Of our ports for the pro-
ducts OF the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation 81 ports, of which
81 are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over s51 ,000.-
coo for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
a toll OF approximately s5o000.00O
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted off
the backs OF the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done BY Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
10 a wharf and discharge her cargo
free Of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. 1t takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is 50
heavily laden with results or Will
more widely and equally distribute
its benefits as that Of a free port
and none can be more easily and eff
fectively secured.

The VITAL PROBLEM OF
AGRICULTURE
BY Peter Raiford.

There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
OF agriculture will not be attained
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which TO grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti-
tutions have spent s1S0,000, 900 in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants. but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
OF agriculture.
The problem is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until il gets within the grasp OF a
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom of the age
upon it. II is a problem which the
farmers, merchants. bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving
The Farmers Union stands for all

Leon Gospel Team at GAINESVILLE.

For the first time in the history of
our city Gospel Team had charge of
a service. The Gospel Team of Leon
arrived on the afternoon train Sum
day, twenty-cight strong. In few
minutes thew were welcomed into the
homes Of GAINESVILLE and had thera
been more men, the homes were
ready and waiting
Professor GasS was the leader and
with him and his good wife, who pre-
sided at the piano, were grouped
upon the platform twentyseven 9TH
ers Just in front of them was the
middle section of seats every one oc-
cupied by man Of this community.
At either side were the side sections,
filled TO their capacity with the moth
ers. wives and daughters. 1t was a
sight that made the hearts of more
than one rejoice, and will linger in
the memory for some time to come
A Gospel Team service is very
much like Salvation Army service
minus the noise and collections; two
or three songs, a number of prayers,
followed by short talks by the men,
which was interspersed by special
quartetts and other music.
10 look into the happy yet earnest
faces of those twenty eight men who
love Jesus Christ and his service and
then to hear their simple, earnest ex-
periences and exhortations-wel we,
won't soon forget There were old
veterans OF the war praying they
might be as good soldiers for Jesus,
as they were for their country. There
was the mischievius boy who could
lay aside his fun and tell Of how he
found most JOY and fun in the SER
vice of his Christ friend, and between
these extremes were the earnest,
alert business men with their bust
ness putting of the Gospel message.
The physician was there, the church
janitor, the farmer and the me-
chanic, proving that salvation in
Jesus is for one and all. If there
was any doubt in the mind of any
man at the real joy of righteousness,
we believe it passed away as he saw
and heard.
At the close the call for recruits
was given, and ten men responded
and took the oath, "I'll never finch /, -
and prayed the prayer, Lord, STARE

were the lions of the day, on the
supposition that they had seen hon
orable service in the confederate
army.
f, The James boys took good care TO
nurse this idea, it was said, and to
spread the impression that they were
being hunted by northern men, who
wanted them put out of the way.
They thus gained protection in every
way possible from sympathetic neigh
bOrs.
One of the most romantic stories
his life was saved from holly pur-
suing soldiers by staunch Union
sympathizer. James was then a
Quantrell guerilla and took part in
the sacking of Lawrence, Kansas.
His federal protector hid him in
cellar because he considered James,
then only 20 years old, too young to
be executed.
Saved BenefactOr's Life.
A year afterwards the guerillas
were in the same neighborhood again
and Quantrell sent detachment I'M
der Frank to bring into camp, dead
or alive, man who had become a
terror to the guerillas.
To Franks amazement they drew
up at the house of the man who had
saved his life
Turning to his men he said: Il
have greater cause to remember the'
treatment l once received from this
man than any of you have to remenl
Der the acts of your enemies towards
yourselves, and l claim that l have
right to settle with him in my own
way. Rest assured that my settle
ment with him will wipe out all
scores between us. will meet you
at the stream mile below, wait for
me there
When the command got clearly
away, Frank said: MY friend, this is
the happiest moment of my life be-
cause am enabled to repay a noble
and generous deed; goodby and God
bless YOU"
In his later life, James was en-
ployed for years as ticket taker at
the Standard theatre, burlesque
house in St. Louis He also was
known as race starter, and in 1904
became, an actor, appearing in melo-
dramas called Across the Desert
and The Fatal Scar"

QUAKER DELIVERS
SERMON TO WILSON

Washington, D. G., Dec. 6. - While
many white house callers were kept
waiting, James Henderson, Quaker,
from Barnsville, Ohio, delivered a
sermon today to President Wilson op-
posing military preparedness. He
quoted extensively from the bible to
convince the president that the policy
of increasing the national defenses
was wrong. Henderson told the presi-
dent he had been liberated" by his
associates to come to Washington to
urge the president to give up the pre-
paredness program, because the ques-
tion Of war and preparedness should
be left to higher power.
The president, and many callers
who were crowding into the office,
listened while Henderson spoke. The
president thanked him for his advice
and then turned to shake hands with
the next men In line.
Henderson, who was accompanied
by William G., Steer, OF Tacoma Ohio,
another Quaker, was introduced to the
president by Representative Hollings-
worth. The two Quakers saw Presi-
dent Taft on a similar mission.

GREW OF CRUISER TERRoRizED
INTO TURNING GUNS ON
LOYAL VESSELS.

Shanghai, Dec. 6.-The rebels on the
Chinese cruiser Chao-Ho abandoned
the vessel early today after 1t had
been bombarded and set on f1re.
A band Of rebels attacked the arsen-
al at midnight but was repulsed.
The authorities now appear to have
complete command OF the situation.
Three Of the mutineers were killed
and FIVE were wounded.
Circumstances disclosed today show
that the crew of the Chao-Ho did not
mutiny, as was at first reported, but
was overpowered by the rebels who
went in a launch yesterday afternoon
from the foreign settlement to the
cruiser. The launch drew up along
side the Chao-Ho, flying the admirals 8
flag. Admiral Sa Cheng-Ping was on
board.
There were about forty men in the
launch. They boarded the cruiser,
each carrying revolver and a bomb
concealed beneath handkerchiefs.
The rebels whipped off the handker-
chiefs concealing their weapons and
covered the crew with their revolvers.
threatening death unless their orders
were obeyed instantly. They COM
PEELED the crew to open fire on the
arsenal and the other warships.
The rebels were unable to make use
of the heavier guns, as an officer OF
the Chao-Ho threw overheard the keys
to the magazines containing the six
inch and four inch shells. His action
probably saved the arsenal and the
foreign settlement from serious dam
age. Numerous shots fell in the for
eign concessions but no serious harm
was done.
After the engagement last evening
between the Chao-Ho and the loyal
crews Of the cruiser Hai-Chi and the
gunboat Tung-C Ching there was no
further firing by the warships until
shortly before dawn. At that time
the cruiser Ying-Swei opened fire on
the Chao-Ho. A shot struck the Chao-
Ho abaft the bridge. Fire broke out
on the Chao-Ho. The rebels embarked
on the launch which put out to the
cruiser from the foreign settlement
yesterday afternoon before the battle
began. The mutineers landed on the
Pootung side Of the city and disap-
peared in a body.
The attack on the arsenal at mid
night was made from the direction
of the Hang Chow railway. There
was some rifle firing but the arsenal
troops acted promptly and calmly and
repulsed the attackers. So far as has
been learned there were no casualties
at the arsenal. The three men who
were killed and the five wounded were
shot down on the Chao-Ho.
