ough in the year 1866. There are blank
leaves in the middle OF the book on
which the family birth records were
kept These are so old and faded that
they are scarcely discernible with the
naked eye.
THE book has very interesting
history, having been handed down
from generation to generation for
more than 200 years. 1t was also in
fire and the backs were burned off
and the leaves scorched The print of
the book is very fine, and the type in
which it is printed very quaint and
old. Mrs. Joiley prizes the book very
highly and intends to keep it in the
family for generations to come"

POPULATION WILL
INCREASE, IS CLAIM
Statistician Believes the Earth S
Soil in Not Very Distant Future
Will Be Overtaxed.

CHICAGO.-World population to
date has fallen behind in the race with
food and raw material production,
Prof. Don d. Lescohier, of the Uni
versity OF Wisconsin, declared Tues
dav in an address before the American
Statistical Association The last cen
turv, he said, tended to disprove the
cardinal principle of the theory OF
Nautilus, the tendency OF population
TO increase faster than the food sup
ply.
But Nautilus was not wrong" he
continued, "the nineteenth century
was an exceptional epoch in the
worlds history. 1t was characterized
bv condition which did not exist in
previous centuries and will not exist
in subsequent centuries-the opening
up of vast areas of new land, easily
accessible and cheaply exploitable.
New lands must henceforth be brought
into cultivation under continually in
creasing costs.
Sooner or later, and probably in
the not distant future, the world must
face the problems of which Nautilus
warned us.
Eventually, in my judgment, much
the same standard of living will OBJ
tain throughout the world much the
same ratio between population and
sentence will obtain in all countries.
Relief by migration to new countries
will be stopped and sale OF staple
foods will be reduced to a minimum"
Prof. Lescohier pointed out that in
1900 there were about S50000000 peo-
pie in the world 'and twice that many
in 1000. 1t took mankind half mil
lion years to produce the first $780,
100000 living human beings and then
but a century to double their num-
bers."
Intolerance Sweeping the world to-
day in religion, education economies,
science and government is the breed
ing ground for hypocrisy, moral cow
ardice, hatred and fear. DR.. Charles
A. Ellwood, of the University of Mis-
souri,, emphasized Monday night in his
address before the joint meeting OF
the society of which he is president,
the American Statistical Association
and the American Economics Asso-
citation.
No student of social life, he assert
ed, will deny that there has been a
rapid growth of intolerance in the
past two decades.
Testimony of such men as William
Appleton, veteran publisher, and Ed
ward A. Filene, Boston merchant,
proves that intolerance is riding on a
high tide. In western city teachers
have refused to undertake administra-
tive school work because OF intoler-
ance to improved scholastic methods, !"
he said The worst examples of in
tolerance are to be found not in the
business world, but in the religious
field. Fundamentalists have risen to
dispute the contention that the age OF
religious intolerance is past.

Leap Year Failed to
Keep Up Marriage Record
Judge Hoyl Blames the New Law for
The Decrease, However.

If leap year had any effect on matri-
monial activities in Terrell county il
was to reduce the number of mar
riages in 1924. However, Ordinary L.
c. Hoyl ascribes the greatly reduced
Number of adventures on the matrimo-
NAL sea to the new marriage law in
stead OF the timidity of the women in
exercising the right to propose.
Last year Judge Hoyl started only
172 couples on the road to marriage,
while in 1923 the number was 24l, a
decrease of 81.
OF the 172 licenses issued in 1924
only 80 were to white couples, and 204
were to negro suitors. In 1923 the num-
Der of white couples who obtained Ii
censes were 81 and colored 204
Judge Hoyl says several Terrell
county residents have married in the
county without posting notice, as
required by law The licenses were
obtained in other counties.

George Stubs Is Held
On a Charge of Murder
Is Charged With the Death of Willis
Evans Near Depot Christmas.


A preliminary trial of George
Stubs, colored, charged with the
murder OF Willis Evans near the Cen
trail depot on Christmas eve night,
was held before Justice J. W. Peddy
Saturday morning.
The states principal witness was
Sim Wall who testified that while
passing near where the body of Evans
was found later he saw Stubs and
Evans, the latter being in an intoxi-
Gated condition. As he was leaving
and when some distance away he saw
Stubs, he said, strike Evans in the
face and then on the side Of the head
with an axe. He did not stop to see
how badly the injured man was hurt
Jim Hall, colored, and his two daugh-
tiers, who were with Wall, testified
to seeing Stubs and Willis together,
one of them having an axe. They left
before Evans was struck.
The defense put up Julia Bronnie,
Lee Bronnie, Rufus Dodley and Rob
ert Peterson as witnesses, and at
tempted to establish an alibi.
Judge Peddy thought the evidence
was sufficient to hold Stubs for in
vestigation by the grand jury and
bound the prisoner over to the May
tenn of superior court.

BUT LITTLE BOISTROUSNESS
WELCOMED THE NEW YEAR
Pistols Were Shot and Automobiles
Went About footing Glad Tidings.

New Year was welcomed with con-
siderably less noise than in several
years. The church bells were rung as
usual, few pistols and fireworks were
shot and automobiles went about toot-
ing the glad tidings, but the fire de-
partment was not called to some dis
tant residence on false alarm nor
did the oil mill whistles blow at mid
night.
For many years the fremen have
been called to some residence in far
off part of the city at exactly Il
o'clock on New Years only to find
no trace Of fire. The fighters under
stood the call was only hoax, but
were required to visit the scene at
any rate lest there should really be a
fire. The telephone operators were en-
listed Wednesday to assist in catch
ing any joker who might call out the
fire fighters, as there is an ordinance
forbidding the sending in of false
alarm.

U. S. Wages 2 to 5 Times Higher Than

Tn commenting OF. this, Slayson Thompson, railway statistioian, iG g bulletin, says;
 Our whole industrial structure to- day rests on the vast difference be- tween the wage rate in America and that shown in the table, to say nothing of the wage scale in China, India and Japan.
 With the wage scale of. say Italy prevailing in the United States, the pay roll of American railways :would be less than sl.Go0, 000, o00 instead of nearly S3,oO0. 900, GOO a year. But along with such cut would go the revenues Of every other industry in the United States and our bankrupt courts would be working overtime. The whole scale of our living costs would be scrapped. Our wage scale is the citadel of our Washington isolation, beyond the power of princes, politics or pacifsts to tear down."
