They also passed a resolution that Senators and mem bers who failed to support tin's measure would tail of their support. The startling postal defiviit of 17 millions might easily be wiped out by permitting the thirty thousand rural route carriers to take parcels weighing from one to elev^jn pounds at two cents a pound; and this would place th^ p(>stid establish ment on a paying; basis.

Washington, Xov. 21. — Not withstanding that ihe Grangers and the University Presidents have l>oth held couveutions in Washington during the past week, by far the most interesting convention is that of five or six members of the W^ays and Means Committee of th^ House of Represei'latives who are debat ing the tariff juestion in the new otlices of Congress. I sav “debat ing,” bccause although the represen tatives of the various interests are there ostensibly to give testimony and to aiford the members of the ^Vav and Means coramittee a basis fur their opinion with reference to the various schedules, they are not so much witnesses as spcoial plead ers; and really the members of the Ways and Means Committee are as thDroughiy acquainted Vv^ith the questions as tiie so-called “witness es'’ or re])resentatives ot the inter ests. The bearing is therefore iarci- cal. It junonuts to nothing, one \vay or the other as far as deculing the question is coneernecf It the decision is left in the hands of Uncle Jcc Cannon in the House andjjis ljunch of standpatters, or io Servitors Alrich and Hale in the Senate with their bunch, there will be tjo real charge in the tarift sche dules. There is every reason to. believe that President-elect Taft desires something more than a tariff revis ion that does not revise and it is hinted tliat he is taking an active part aireatiy in prej)aring for sue!) wmm IN THE SOOTH.

Judge Ward, While Holding Bun combe Court is Threatened by the Blind ‘Tigers.” Asheville, Nov. 19. — Judge Ward created something of a stir in Superior Court this afternoon shortly before adjounmient when he announced from the bench that he had received througii the mails a threatening anonymous commuuica- tion, and directing that the chief of police of the city be notified to ap pear in court to-morrow morning with Id.s police officers for such in structions as the court shall give. Judge W^ard declared that the threatening conimunication would not deter him from his purpose to put a stop to lawlessness in Ashe ville and break up “blind tigers’’— in fact, the court declared that it made him all the more deterndned, and intimated that those appearing before him charged with the illicit .‘cliing of whiskey and convicted would fare badly. The threatening letter w'as re- cciV'^'d I'ly Judge Ward after a two daj s’ trial of th.ee men, ^ilaek, Doan and Wat'son, charged with maintaining a nuisance in the con duct of a soft drink establishment, ending with the conviction of the trio and the sentencing of each to two years on the coumy roavls; but it is not belived the letter has any connection with the case. Just what the court will have to say to city police force is not made known. It is intimated, however, that he in tends giving them instructious to make a c-oncertcd and systematic raid on pltices where it has been rumored liquor is sold. RAILWAY TO SACRED CITY.

He has answered the last Hoil Call, which iu a few years we will all have to uuswer. When 1 look back to the year of April f8G], when we, with hund reds of others, were gatht'red at the court hui'.se at Graham preparing to leave, and which we did the latter part of that month, going to (.larycs- burg where we were organized into a regiment, the Oid 'i'idrteenth., we were all boys tiien—this was forty years ago. (Jomrade Cot>k and myself were about the same age. ^Ve become attaclicii to each other at ihat time and this attachment was kept up during the war, and since then up to the time of l is death. I kueVv' Comrade Cook as well as any one couid pi.)ssibly knosv him. His ideas were high toned and ele vating. He v.'ould noi. sf.op to do a small thing, in other words lie was a broad-minded, >pen. Where Mahomet's Tomb is Now Lighted With '^EIectricity. London Illustrated News. The Hedjaz Railwfiyi.s a remark able undertaking. Not only does it link Damascus with Medina, the city that in the eyes of Mahomedians is second only in sactity to Mecca itself, but it has been regarded from its inception as a sacred work. It is perhaps the only Turk’sh en- terpriise in which bribery and cor ruption have not had place for those concerned in it, from the highest to the lowest, dared give, nothing byt their best to an enterprise so closely associated with their religion. The line, moreover was built, with the money subscribed by Mahomedians the world over. It is likely that the line will be continued to Mecca, and in his speech at the inauguration Mukhtar Bey promised that he would use every endeavor to secure this end. The actual opening ceremony was per formed by the Grand Mufti of Datn- ascus, and some interesting speeches followed. • In the course of bis remarks Ali Kiaoil said; “We are to day cele brating three great events—the pil grimage to Medina, the opening of the .sacrel railway, and the first con stitutional anniversary of the Khaiif oflslam. The Prophet did not per mit the railway to reach the Holy City before the Khaiif had graiitol a constitution to his people.'^ It was after the line had been in- inaugurated that the special mission visited the electric plant which has been installed to supply electric light to the mosque that contains the tomb of the Prophet. I^ater in the day the events of the Innir were celebra ted still further in that most modern method; by letting off of fireworks and t>y illumination. Medina, like Mec'^a, is forbidden to all but Mabomedans, but the bar rier lias been broken (;n two or three ovcasious. The railway is by do means the only modern thing that has reached the sacred city. Elec- lri(,'ity too has come to it, as already Dotefl. In the mosque in which the ) of Mahomet has its olace, the big-hearted young man, .-Ls u soldier, lie was a success, a!id as a citizen his life since that Ifiooiiy struggle ijas been an open j)age to our j)eople. 'fhe life he lived iukI the example he set to his f'ellowmen is vvorthy of imitation. No one will deny but tliat the world IS betU.'r by his having lived in it to his ashes, ^ In the morning of ffie Great Keverlie we trust we shall ail meet Comi’adc Cook wiio with many If (.'others have gone on while a few of us yet remain.

Denny was crushed to death instanlly by a large bank of dirt falling on him. Awhile it is uot certain, it appeal’s that the timbers which held the bank l^ck were not strong enough, and gave way when , the bank began to cave. The unfor tunate man was caight by thelall- ing einbiankraent, and his life crush ed out before he could be got out by his companions.

A. big business country must have big business, and ours is the biggest business country in the world. Bus iness depends upon the ease and quickness with which people can miiigh.! and trade together. To stop the growth of business organizatio.is is to stop the growth of the country. If the steel industry were run by the little concerns of 50 years ago, there would be ouly a fracitiou of the out put of th.e people’s building and transportation nutterials. If the siiops made ali the agricultural iai- j)!cmeuts as they once did, fully a third of the f.u’mers of the United States conI(* not be supplied, Rc- niember that as short railroad lines handled l>y iitlle companies have consolidated into single systerns, rail* y rates for freight and pas.senger.s have steadily gone f.lowii. Thirty years ago a man shippin^^ freight jvum St, Lociis to N'evv'.York would have billed St over at least two lines of road. 1 he traveled frorn Oma ha to Pvoston, he h;id to buy at least. tlire(‘ tickets .-iud make three changes of cars.

Again, liic price of tlie raw materials U agricu11 ura I i m pie men ts down, and at the same time those wag(ms and agricultural implemfents to day are guaranteed.
