Write at on«». I'hursday. Aus:ust 10. 1911 In other departments of the Government service there has not been that effort at enforce- inf? economy as that displayed in the attack on Dr. Wiley. It is stated in the U. S. courts there is sometimes as much as fifty dollars a day paid to wit nesses, this is quite a contrast with the $9 per day that samuch racket has been kicked up be cause Dr. Wiley paid it to an ex pert chemist to assist himt in his work of perfecting the pure food department The Remson Board was created to get around some of Dr. Wiley’s ideas, and it is a well paid useless adjunct of the public service. The Department of‘ Agricul ture paid the expenses of the Remsen board members who went to Indianapolis. The de partment, it will be recalled, thought it best that Dr. Wiley, who held contrary views, should not testify, and the removal of Dr. Wiley, who did testify in the Indiana case and who supported the State’s iight has been since removed “for the good of the service.” Considerable stress was laid upon the fact that the Federal Government had paid expenses of witnesses to Indiana, and Chairman Moss, of that State, said he did not see why the members of the Remsen board had so broadened the scope of their work as to take part in the State fight Dr. Remsen testifi- ed that Secretary Wilson sug gested that the board members ought to go to Indiana. tion of the Georgia Legislature asking him to resign is a befit- ing rebuke. Governo** Kitchin in speaking of the recent attack upon him by the Raleigh News and Ob server intimates that when the Senatorial canvass opens he will unlimber his guns and direct a broadside not only against the News and Observer, but any other and all other newspapers that dares attack him. This is a privlege of Mr. Kitchins, but in order to keep history straight he need not wait. Great is the power of lies, lies boldly told, and stubbornly maintained, but greater is truth which must tryumph at last, and grander is it when it crushes filthy intrigue. Wanted.

The Creator! The created! Paltry words that blind the soul To the glory and the greatness and the beauty of the whole! Thou the maker of the universe? Thou art its pulsing heart, And thy heat is in its artieriea unto the utmost part! Thou—the gliding of the sunlight! Thou-^the silver of the rain; Thou—Uie rippling of the breezes over fields of springing grain! Thou—the sweep of upland meadows, all with milky daisies starred! Thou—the rainbow’s irridescence of the beetle's golden shard!

Thou art Spirit! Thou the riddls—Thou the key! Warring waves of joy and sorrow, hate and love and space and time Sink to calm upon the vastness of Thy se'>reless sea sublime! Thou-the finite, star and blossom; pride of man and sparrow’s fall! Thou—the infinite, transcending, com prehending hushing all! —Geo, Gowen, Mathews Va.

WHEN The decline of the two dollars per bale on cotton due prince- pally, and primarily to the gov ernments prediction of an en ormous crop, is at best * nothing short of criminal. It was a pre diction made evedently in the interest of the bears in the cot ton market, to the predudice of those who had cotton to sell. The Governments statistician whose business it is ta calculate facts as to the condition of the crop for world wide information, had no absolute, facts upon which to predicate a certain forecast, and to attempt to do it in tiie fac^ of ooopsny’s- stock. The demand tot uncertainties to the prejudice of robb«r, he lald, was .worldwide and the owners of the staple should ' you wish your furniture repaired, your sofas upholsted or any od job done don’t forget to call on me-John Dollar Graham Street.

It is not the first time this depart ment of the- Government has been perverted to thei>‘benefit of Wall street speculators.

The governments apparent interest in the specui£ltors is discreditable to say the least constantly Increasing. The company owned Immense forests of rubber trees and kept an army of workers employed all the time In gathering the crude rubber. The ou^ut was enor mous; and the profits—well* the sch^e iras certainly better'than «. gold mine. **1 have heard,” said Sir. .Spangler •oi^eloiisly, ‘that the forests are be ing exhaorted." rfThat’s true to some extent,** an His Choleo of Weapons. In **A Centnry of EngUsb Ballada,* a book by Harold Simpson, there is a delightful story of Stephen Incledon, an eminent tenor of otber days, wbose ■inging of “Black Eyed Susan” was peculiarly to the peoj^e^s taste. While staying at a country inn Incledon had quarreled during the evening with an army office. He imagined he had closed the controversy by going off to bed, but the ofBcer, left downstairs to brood over his .wrongs, thought oth erwise. his way to Indedon’s bedroom, he found the singer fast asleep. When he succeeded in wak ing him, a matter of aome difficulty, the officer demanded satisfaction. **Satisfaction?*' murmured Incledon sleepily. *'Well, you shall have it.” Whereupon he sat up in bed and sang *‘Black Byed Susan” in his beet style. “There,” he said, lying down again, “my singing of that song has given satisfaction to thousands, and it will have to satisfy you.” And he turned ever and went to sleep again.

No. sir; you can’t fool me on that!’'—Touth’s Companion. We have known Mr. Hoke per- sonaly for years, we knew him during Mr. Clevelaittlsi adminis tration as Secretary of the In terior and we have always re garded him as a splendid man of abilityi a man whom we admir-^ ed, but we must say • that hia neglect of his duties as a Sena tor in Washington where he^has^ been so badly needed has tended much to disparage our. opinion him.

The Resolu- W««t Point Traditions. **lt is an Interesthig fact, often re maned to a^ alomnl reunions and in addressrni delivered to the cadets at West Point,” said a retired army offi- eer, '*tlmt one of the most distin- guiisbed of the graduates of the acad emy, who aftttward wore the epau-1 lets of a major general, was once a j IdootUack on the streets of New York j and was plying bis trade when be no-1 ticed in a newspaper an announce- mwit of a vacancy at the academy for tho district iu which he lived, and he applied for It **Another of the traditions,” contin ued the offlCOT, *1s that one of the best | cadet officers that ever wore the gray i !was the son of a convict, and, al-1 thoo^ that fact was known to every | one of his comrades, it never made the slightest difference In his social standing.

After a week 1 took a piece of meat at each visit, for the way to ttie heart is through the stomach, and that does not apply to tigers alone. At the end of four weeks I could toucb him, and three months later be bad quite realised that no one wanted to hurt him and used to come quietly to the bars to be stroked each day.” Sir Waiter and th« Royal Glass. In 1820 George IV. conferred a barooetcy upon Walter Scott. Two years later the king of England went to pay a visit to his Scotch subjects. He was received with indescribable enthuslaam, and Scott led the mani festations organised in his honor. **You are the one Scotchman 1 have chiefly desired to see.” said the sover eign. The two men then drank one another's health, and Scott begged Qeorge IV. to give him the glass which he had just put to his lips. The favor was granted, and the poet put the glass in his pocket Unfortunately when he got home he forgot to place the r^e in safety, sat down upon It and broke it into a thousand pieces.—From De Monvel’s “Bean Brummel.” - Tho Romano Drosood For Dinnor.
