ABOUT GREAT FORTUNES ' Seems Like the Rothschilds Have Yours, Doesn’t It? The recent death of J. P. Mor gan and the filing of his will in New York with the anniversary of the death of John Jacob As tor, one of the victims of the Ti tanic, has called attention anew to the large fortunes of individ uals. A statistician has just com pleted figures which, he asserts, show the fortune of the famous house of Rothschild. The entire fortune is estimated at ten mil liards of franc. A milliard is a billion, so that in dollars the Rothschild fortune equals $2,000,- 000,000. Placed at 4 per cent., the Rothschild fortune v dd pro duce an annual revenue of SBO,- 000,000. But this -am is far from being a reality, as the great part of the Rothschild riches is in property. In Lancastershire they own immense thread mills, while in Germany they possess numerous coal mines with a ca pacity of millions of tons per an num. In Brazil the Rothschilds owrr immense rubber forests, and in Persia r ctories where th most beautiful carpets in the world are made. In Spain there are numerous zinc and lead mines operated by the Rothschilds. In South Af rica also the Rothschilds own mines. The Rothschilds in addi tion own large forests in Siberia, while in Australia entire cities are their property. They also own large quantities of real es tate in the different European capitals. The greatest interest that at taches to large fortunes and gi gantic incomes in America right now is in connection with the f ms that will have to be paid as a part of the income tax which congress is to levy at this ses sion. This tax is going to fur nish the government with mil lions of dollars that it should have had from the same source many years ago.—Savannah Press. Some Folks Born Lucky. Aunt Sukey, an aged negress, was in the habit during the sum mer months of going to town weekly laden with produce for marketing purposes. Her short est route lay along a railroad which was ballasted with crushed rock, says the Chicago Record- Herald. For economical reasons the old woman usually went bare footed. On one occasion, how ever, she purchased a pair of shoes in town and on trying them on was so pleased with the result that she started for home proud ly wearing the new shoes. All went well until she reached the railroad; here the walking became rough. Fearful that the beauty of the shoes would be marred the old woman took them off and barefooted, with bas' *•« and shoes tied together da from her arm, proceeded c.i her way homeward. All of a sudden her big toe came in contact with the jagged edge of a rock, the fleshy end of the toe was almost torn off, while blood spurted freely from the wound. For a few seconds she looked in dismay at the'bleeding toe, then an expression of thank fulness irrad. ;d her counte nance and she exclaimed: “Dashdis lucky niggah! ’Spose dat had a bin my noo shoe!” DIVORCE NOTICE.

Usually a man is ‘‘face to face with himself” when he sits down to make his will. Perusal of the testament after his death gives sometimes a better insight into his character than the public had while he was alive. The story of the will of J. Pierpont Morgan, and excerpts from it, which we published yesterday make unus ually interesting reading, from j the simple statement of his belief in the Christian religion, with which it begins to his signature at the end of it. Possibly there are persons—those who were ac customed to regard Mr. Morgan as the backbone of the‘‘money trust” and responsible for some of the misfortunes which have befallen the people in recent years—who are surprised by h s expression of faith in his own soul’s salvation. Such surprise is very likely due to the fact that truth and untruth were hopeless ly mixed in many of the stories ;old and printed about him while he was alive. It would not be surprising if the popular concep tion of him were far different from what it would be if the truth only had been told. His character was such that he want ed to meet all of his obligations in death as he had met them in life, whether they were large or small, near or - remote, lie val ued character above money. He provided for the contingency j that death would take him be fore he had opportunity to satisfy all those who had claims upon him, as he would have satisfied them if he had lived. His will doubtless reveals the “real Mor gan” as ho was within a few months of his death and looking back upon the many and varied activities of his life. It is inter esting to compare the document, with its thousands of words, with the will of the late E. 11. Harri man, who disposed of many mil lions of dollars in a hundred words.—Savannah News. Some Reliable Dope On Natural History. Luke Lea, United States sena tor from Tennessee, toli this sto ry to illustrate how a big and unprincipled corporation may disregard the sufferings of the private individuals it victimizes, says the Popular Magazine. Rastus, a colored man and a convert to religion, stood on the bank of the Mississippi river pre paratory to being baptized. With one foot in the water, he saw an aligator far out in stream and hesitated. The more the parson urged him to advance, the more Uncle Rastus declared his determination not to go into the alligator’s element. “Come right on in, bruddah,” insisted the parson. “Whut de mattah wid you? Is yo’ faith done stumbled? I calls yo’ ’ten tion to de fac’ dat when de whale swallowed Jonah, God Almighty smit de whale on de hack wid a red wagon spoke, an’ de whale cas’ him up on dry lan’. Don’t >ou know dat if you has faith an’ j er alligator swallows you, he will "as’ you upon de san?” “Dat’s all right ’bout whales an’ Jonahs,” replied Rastus, “but you don’t understan’ dese Mississippi gators. If ever one of dem swallows a nigger, he’ll go off and forgit all about him.” Not So Much Cotton. Many of us one-horse farmers plant too many acres in cotton at the expense of our other crops. Our first plans should be to grow ; all our corn, oats, hay and pea- 1 nuts that we need and plant on- j ly eight to twelve acres to cotton and prepare and fertilize this to where we will make two-thirds to two bales per acre. We can 1 raise enough hogs with very lit- j tie expense to market that will| bring as much cash as two bales of cotton. We must grow our, meat, corn, syrup and feed stuff at home and raise and raise all the good cows we can and chick- j ens arid eggs to pay grocery bills. We will soon be two-horse farm ers. R. D.

After a great deal of worry and study we have at last figured out how so many country editors get rich. Here is the secret of their success. There i a child born in the neighborho The attending physician gets $lO. The editor gives the loud-lunged youngster a great send-off and gets SO. It is christened, and the minister gets $5, and the editor gets SOO. It grows and marries. The editor publishes another long-winded, flowery article and tells a dozen different lies about “the beautiful and accomplished bride.” The minister gets $lO and a piece of cake. The editor gets SOOO and a request to carry the groom’s subscription account another year. In the course of time she dies. The doctor gets from $5 to SIOO, the minister gets from $5 to SIOO, the editor pub lishes a notice of death and an obituary two columns long, lodge resolutions, a lot of poetry and a card of thanks and gets SO,OOO. No wonder so many country ed itors get rich. —Exchange. Eye Glasses Lost. On Saturday before the fifth Sunday last, 1 lost a pair of nose glasses. Finder please return to C. M. Ledbetter, Mt. Vernon.
