CURIOUS HISTORICAL
KNOX COUNTY DOCUMENTS

During the recent burning OF old
documents at the Court House many
we're rescued by those who have a
Taste for such things as being both
Interesting and historical.
II is interesting to note that in
1912 one man was served with a
Sarrant for taking the name Of the
Cord in vain on the Sabbath Day.
The document does not Of course
show whether he might have done
so with impuuity on any other day
of the week.
Another is the proof by Richard
son Adams that Isaac Pursiful did,
about March 1st, 1S49. kill a Wild
cat and claimed so cents as n re-
ward for putting the varmint out OF
business.
II is understood that Or. Franklin
has made collection OF many docu-
ments and IT. would be an excellent
thing TO turn. them In to Union Col
lege and have them become a part
OF the history Of Knox County when
such is written.

=--------s s'------------------ ABE LINCOLN'S WEDGE

From the Detroit Free Press
 The Smithsonian institution recently added to it's collection of relics an Illi- nois blacksmith's shop for Abraham Lincoln. On one side of it are the in itials "A. L..'' cut with cold chisei by Lincoln himself. who, according to an eyewitness, undertook the work when the blacksmith pleaded that he could not because he was mo scholar"
 How many of the young people of this generation think of the railsplitter as working with a wedge and maui, and how many vision him swinging an ax?
 Country boys know, of course, that even the mightiest man could not work log up into rails with an ax alone, but the probability is that the picture which the average city person has of Lincoln at work splitting rails is a long way from the fact to which the wedge bears witness.
 This wedge, now publicly owned and exhibited, is likely to become one of the best-known treasures of it's kind in the country.
 It calls up picture of the Lincoln who lived and labored in frontier country as no other relic could, and the story of how the initials came to be cut by Lincoln's own hand places him clear ly in his relation to his fellow pioneers

 It is said that he asked for damages in a reasonable sum, the same-in case they were awarded him--to be applied to some charitable purpose.

CURING JOHN SMITHS HABIT

down. Wholesale clothing magnates, who for two years had been telling cns- toners not to dare to ask for more than six dozen of No. 6321, left the stock tick CT. packed their sample cases and went out to see what was the matter in Wilkesbarre, zanesville and points west.
 Meanwhile where was John Smith, in the pockets of whose patched trousers reposed the unspent bank roll? John had contracted the habit, one of the most gripping of all habits. He could look at an advertisement or into a win dow with curiosity but without desire. He could not withdraw his hand from his pocket unless the hand was empty. He had aggravated thrift, perntcious economy and intermittent consciousness.
 Business sent for Dr. Experience and said that John Smith must be cured. "He needs the simple, old-fashioned treat ment." said the doctor. Nothing will wean him from this new and terrible habit but the sight of falling prices. Shock him back to confidence with fig- ures-the kind he knew when he was spender.

Danger of Dilatoriness
 In Business Revival

7f1HE present industrial situation
 in the Birmingham district is like that of runner standing on tip toe at the starting line, stripped for action and ready to leap forward when the pistol cracks.
 The export steel and iron trade, especially export steel, steadied the district during the stagnation in the domestic iron and steel markets. The Birmingham iron and steel industry has gone ahead on a 100 per cent basis so far as the leading corporation is concerned That industry repre- senting, in many respects, 50 per cent of the total and much more than that of the steel business, it requires no large amount of analysis to grasp what this has meant.
 Building brick plants have resumed in full, the water and gas pipe plants are starting in one by one, the stove works and soil pipe makers are re- suming.
 They have made another start, not on account of rush of new business, but from a feeling of confidence that structural activity is just ahead and will demand what they are produc- ing.
 A large amount of industrial con- struction is going on in anticipation of it's needs. Banks have reported un- usually sound conditions. Easier money is regarded as assured. Prices of most articles have been stabilized Men feel that the time to start again is here.
 The risk run by those who hang back too long is that when they get into the game small stocks and their anxiety for prompt deliveries may raise prices again.

Un-American Settlers Are
 Not Wanted in the South

6HHE charm of the south is it's II roominess. In city and country alike there is room to turn about. in. The block house has not replaced the city home with air spaces on four sides. There is room in front for flowers and in the rear for a garden and for children to play.
 Almost 80 per cent of Alabama's population is rural. The urban pop ulation is 509,317, but that residing on the farms and out where nature holds sway is 1,838,s57. This state has no urban population problem and will not have for years to come. Land in Alabama is still so low in cost and the burden of taxation is so light that earning a livelihood on a farm is within the reach of all. Great suc- cess there means, of course, the same intelligence that is necessary for sue cess in the city.
 None of the evils of congestion has yet afflicted the south, nor will for several generations. Congestion makes men think and act in herds. Where there is room the individual develops { his own power of thought and is not 50 easily led about by the agitator who happens to ride the waves of ex- citement.
