Prehistoric Bones Found
in Ancient Texas Site

Dallas.-Search for the ruins of
an ancient civilization has begun
in Rockwell, little town Is miles
north of Dallas, which was named
because of an old wall buried six
feet under ground near the city.
If the theory of R. F. Canup, Rock
wall business man, is correct, an
ancient buried city will be I'M
covered.
Undismayed by reports from a
few biologists that the old wall is
the work of nature, Canup declared
he would continue his excavations
until he finds the bottom of the wall
or the city.
Excavation has been underway
for the past three months and has
resulted in uncovering a structure
to a depth of about eight feet for
a distance of 100 feet.
In the open cut along the wall,
Canup has found large collection
o. fossils, some of which were said
to be bones of prehistoric animals.
MANY students of rock forma-
ton have told me that no natural
formation could be as symmetrical
or as consistent in its direction
around the town as this WALL" Can
up said. Among the biologists
who believe that the wall is man.
made is Count de Prorok, who Wis
tied Rockwell 10 years ago and de-
clared that it is certainly the work
of man."
THE fact that the wall turns
and makes a square corner leads
me to believe that it is man-made
masonry" he said, because nature
does not, as rule, build corners
in this fashion"

HE DEFEATED HIMSELF

II ISTORIANS lay the blame for
L L James C. Blaine's defeat to a
number of men. But the fact is that
Blaine defeated himself-with the
aid of Roscoe Conkling.
It started when both men were
young congressman. One day in
1866 the New Yorker, who had been
lording it over the lower house, be-
came engaged in a dispute with
the Maine representative and de-
clared haughtiiy: eff the member
from Maine had the least idea how
profoundly Indifferent I am to his
opinion upon the subject under de-
bate, think he would hardly take
the trouble to express it."
Blaine rose and, facing Conkling,
delivered this speech: GAS to the
gentleman's cruel sarcasm, 1 hope
he will not be too severe. The con-
tempt of that large-minded gentle
man is so whiting; his naughty
disdain, his grandiloquent swell,
his majestic, supereminent, over
towering turkey gobbler strut has
been so crushing to myself and
all the members of the house that
l know it was an act of the great
est temerity to venture upon a con-
troversy with him. But, sir, 1 know
who is responsible for this. 1t is
not his fault. 1t is the fault of an
other. That gifted and satirical
writer, Theodore Tilton of the New
York Independent, spent some
weeks in this city recently. His
letters published in that paper en-
braced, with many serious state
ments, little jocose satire, part
OF which was the statement that
the mantle of the late Winter Da-
Wis had fallen upon the member
from New York. That gentleman
took it seriously and it has given
his strut additional pomposity. The
resemblance is striking. Hyperion
to a satyr; Thersites to Hercules;
mud to marble; dunghill to dia-
mond; a singed cat to a royal
Bengal tiger; whining puppy to
a roaring lion"
That brief talk-it took only two
mlnutes-ruined Blaine's political
career forever. 1t completely
squelched Conkling but it pierced
his vanity to the roots. From that
moment he hated Blaine and for
the next 20 years devoted himself
to thwarting the "Plumed Knight"
Twice he kept the New Highlander
from getting the Republican NOM
ination and once contributed to his
defeat at the polls in November.

ROORBACK
| S ELECTION time nea

A ELECTION time hears, watch
out for ''roorbacks" - those
campaign lies which are circulated
in the last few days of a campaign
by partisans of one candidate to dis
credit and perhaps aid in defeating
another candidate. We've had such
canards in every political campaign
since the days of John Adams but
it wasn't until 1874 that they were
given their distinctive name.
On August l of that year a let
ter was printed in the Ithaca IN.
" Journal which asserted that
James K. Polk, the Democratic
candidate, branded his slaves with
his initials as though they were so
many cattle. Denounced by Folks
supporters. The editor of the Jour-
nal declared that the truth of the
statement could not be doubted,
since the authority for it was
book which had received the APP
probation of every American
critic 1t was Roorback's "Tour
Through Southern and Western
States in the Year 1886" and
Roorback was foreign OBJ
server who had written his book
long before Polk was a candidate
for President.
But Folks friends soon proved
that the whole thing was a hoax.
They showed that the alleged quo
tation from Roorback' Tour had
been lifted from George William
Featherstonaugh's "Excurs sion
Through the Slave States" Aft
er giving verbatim this English
mans description of slave trad
er's encampment, the author of
the letter to the Ithaca Journal
had added: Forty of these unfor-
tunate beings had been purchased,
I was informed, of the Hon. j. K.
Polk, the present speaker of the
house of representatives; the mark
of the branding iron, with the ini-
tials of his name on their Shout
ders, distinguishing them from the
rest"
After this revelation, the whole
"villainous forgery" was investi-
gated and the author of the letter
exposed as Democratic Office
holder, belonging to a faction op-
posed to Polk. The excitement
over this incident died down before
the election but by that time the
fame of "Roorback" was firmly
established and his name is per-
petuated in politics to this day.

Python on Hunger Strike
Is Fed Forcibly Monthly

St. Louis. - Although Blonde,
nineteen-foot python, has been nine
years in the St. Louis zoo, it con-
tinues to spurn food, and conse-
quently is removed from its inclosed
"jungle scene" home once each
month and forcibly fed. Removal
is accomplished by eight men.
nj. J. Lantz, keeper, enters the
cage, and flips a towel around the
snakes head. He seizes the python
behind the jaws and drags it through
the cage door. Attendants seize Sec
tons of the powerful body and trail
after Lantz.
Within thirty seconds Blonde is
pinned to the foor-seven attend
ants on board.
After feeding, the python teeth
are examined and occasionally lit
tie dental work is required. Armed
with forceps, cotton and antiseptics,
the dentist explores the reptiles
upper and lower jaws for loose teeth
which pythons try to shed.

Population to Near Peak
of $4,000, 600 by 1850

Washington. - The slowing down
of the growth in population, re-
vealed by the Bureau of the Census,
lends credibility to forecasts by gov
eminent sociologists that population
may reach a peak of 1876, 900, 900 per-
sons by 1850, become stationary for
a while, and then decline.
The decrease in population growth
is attributed chiefly to immigration
restrictions. A contributing factor
has been the declining birthrate-
Births have increased slightly in the
last two years, but the increase IS
regarded as temporary interrupt
ton of long time down trend.
The population slightly more than
doubled between 1890 and 1885 to
127 ,521 900 estimated as of July l,
1885, by the Bureau of Census. Cur
rently, the population numbers
more than 1923, 900, 900 persons.

GOLD OUTPUTHUCE
in SOUTH AFRICA
Production Reaches Total Of
Seven Billion Dollars.

Washington.-The role played by
the gold-mining industry in the eco
nomic life of South Africa is strik-
ingly revealed in a report from Con-
sui Hugh S. Miller, Johannesburg,
made public by the Commerce de-
partment
Within a few months, it is pointed
out, johannesburg will celebrate
with an empire exposition the fifth
eth anniversary of it's founding and
the founding of the gold mining in
dustry on the Rand. At a recent
meeting of the Transvaal chamber
OF mines the retiring president took
occasion to review the development
of gold-mining in South Africa.
Production of gold in the country.
he pointed out, commenced in 1886
and the following year 1900 fine
ounces were produced; five years
later, the output had increased un-
til it was slightly over million
ounces; in 1897 it had reached two
and half million ounces; in 1904
more than three and one-half mil
lion ounces, and in 1882 IL million
ounces. Since 1882 production has
declined to 10 million ounces an
nually. Records indicate that of all
the gold produced in the world since
the Middle ages, since 1886 about
one-quarter has been produced on
the Witwatersrand.
According to the president of the
chamber, the approximate value of
the gold production of the Transvaal
from the earliest records to date is
about S7,135, 100000 and considera-
bly, more than half that amount has
been distributed in South Africa
The city of johannesburg as a re-
suit of the expansion of gold min
ing in the Transvaal has developed
in half century from a struggling
mining camp to a metropolis of $780,
600 inhabitants, of whom half are
Europeans, according to the report.

MORE THAN A WHISPER

D ARE indeed is the Presidential
N contest which does not bring
out whispering campaign"-that
attempt to discredit a candidate
by circulating slanderous stories
rejecting upon his morals or mo-
tives. So it is refreshing to learn
that occasionally political partisans
dare to speak out boldly against
an opponent instead of working
against him secretly and in the
dark-to shout rather than to whis-
per.
One of the earliest examples of
this kind of campaigning took
place during the Adams-Jac kson
contest in 1928. It was a printed
placard which read:
IMMORTALITY
Fellow citizens, can we vote
for the man who openly sets the
laws of the great Jehovah at de-
fiance, thereby showing a bad ex-
ample to our children? Some few
Sundays ago Mr. Adams passed
through Providence galloping and
running his horse, and at every
tavern stopping to receive the sa-
lutes or huzzahs of the Federal
Party. l have always been an Ad-
ans man until he violated and
trampled on the laws of God; now
my conscience forbids my support
ing him. I therefore shall choose
Andrew Jackson, one who keeps no.
ly the Sabbath Day.
A Professor of Religion.

DRAFTED
ELMO SCOTT WATSON


talk of drafting" some candi-
date. However, there have been
only two instances in our political
history when man was given the
nomination against his will and in
both cases the drafted candidate
was defeated in the election.
In 1868 one of the issues raised
by the Democrats was a demand
for the payment of the war debt in
paper money. 1t was advocated by
George H. Pendleton of Cincinnati
and the appeal of the "Ohio Idea"
was so great that he was the logi-
cal candidate for the nomination.
But Horatio Seymour, the Civil
war governor of New York, was
opposed to both the "Ohio Idea"
and the candidacy of it's chief sup
porter AS chairman of the con-
vention he was able to prevent Pen
dleton's nomination but he could
not keep the imitation plank out of
the platform.
After many ballots and some
confusion it turned to Seymour
and, although he shouted from the
platform "Your candidate I can
not be-" the delegates went right
ahead and nominated him.
Although Seymour polled 2,7O9,-
213 popular votes to 3,015,071 for
Gen. u S. Grant, the Republican
nominee, and carried eight states,
the electoral vote stood PA for
Grant and 80 for Seymour.
Four years later a peculiar po-
litical situation resulted in another
case of "drafting." A faction of
the Republican party, dissatisfied
with the Grant administration and
his denomination, held another con-
vention in Cincinnati and chose
Horace Greeley for President and
B. Crate Brown of Missouri for
vice-president. When the Demo-
Gratis met in Baltimore they de-
cided that a fusion ticket might
defeat Grant so they also nomi-
mated Greeley and Brown.
But this action offended the "old
line" Democrats so they held a
convention in Louisville, KY. For
President they selected Charles
O'Conor, distinguished New York
lawyer who had won the deep af-
lection of the South by his efforts
to secure the release of Jefferson
Davis from prison at Fortress Mon
roe and to defend him against the
charge of treason. O'Conor was
nominated on the first ballot by a
vote of 600 to four and for their
vice-president they named John
Quincy Adams of Massachusetts.
Immediately after the balloting
O'Conor was notified by telegraph
of his nomination and at once de-
clined to accept it The convention
was thrown into disorder and an
attempt was made to give the hon.
or to the permanent chairman,
James Lyons of Virginia, but he
refused. So the convention adopt
ed resolution reiterating the Sc
lection of O'Conor and Adams and
Immediately adjourned. In the
election which followed O'Conor
and Adams received 29,489 votes
scattered through % states. This
was not an impressive showing but
the "Greeleyites' did little better
and the $4,000 had the satisfaction
of knowing that they had been true
to what they considered true DEM
ocratic principles.
