The vastly increasing use of concrete for all sorts of structures is reflected in the recent completion in Georgia of a million-dollar plant for the manu facture of Portland cement and the in- ception of another like plant of equal proportions at Selma, Ala. As the fiae of cement, like the use of iron, is at present an index of the industrial pro gress of a people, it is gratifying to find the Gulf States equipping them selves for the production of this article of prime necessity. The diversification of industries is evidently making rapid strides in the South. Not the least in teresting item of the Southern Bail way's last report was its showing that the greater part of its traffic is not from agricultures, but from other industries along its lines.. of a very considerable percentage of what taxes wonld be if the game was allowed to be slaughtered for the mar kets. Might it not be well in North Caro lina to extend the hunting season to three months and besides existing laws provide for a tax on each bird killed and double the tax if the bird is offered for sale f , The idea should be not only to preserve the game but also make it a source of revenue.

Rockefeller, William Bockefel- ler and other Standard Oil magnates will receive a nice Christmas gift on December 15, when' the Standard Gil Company pays its fourth quarterly div idend for 1903. The dividend was de clared recently and is 12 per cent. This makes the total dividend for 1908 44 percent Of the $12,000,000 to be paid to the holders of the stock this quarter John D. Rockefeller will receive $4,800,000 and William Rockefeller will receive a check for $2,400,000. With this dividend the full disburse ment of the Standard Oil Company for 1903 is authorised. It amounts to 44 ler cent. . This means-$44,000,000 to the stockholders of the concern, as the capital stock is $100,000. During the last 12 years to the com. pany has paid dividends as follows: 1891 to 1895, 12 per cent, per annum; 1896, 31 per cent.; 1897, 33 per cent.; 1898, 80 per cent.; 1899, 33 percent.; 1900, 48 per cent.; 1901,48 percent.; 1902, 45 per cent , and for this year, 44 per cent. to prove the contrary. I heartily commend to your devout when in Nashville call and be well served study also the fifth verse of the afore mentioned chapter of St. Matthew. Very truly, James H. Tillman. P. S. Your congregation might also read the fifteenth verse. The texts from which the minister is requested to preach are as follows: t or wnat judgment ye judge, ye shall be' judged; and with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again. "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but consid- ereth not the beam that is in thine own eye!" The verse the minister is asked to study reads thus: 'Thou hypocrite, first cast out 'the beam out of thine own eye; and then shslt thou see clearly to cast the mote out of thy brother's eye." The following verse is recommended to the congregation: 'Beware of false prophets, whioh come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
