Henry County Weekly. FRANK REAGAN, Editor. Entered at the pestoffice at McDon ough as second class mail matter. Advertising Rates: SI.OO per inch pir month. Reduction on standing contracts by special agreement. In the matter of singing, notes the Philadelphia Record, some voices will fill a room, and some will empty it. In the cemetery at Carlyle, Illinois, relates the Buffalo Courier, is a stone at the head of a woman’s grave, on which is an inscription stating that she was literally ‘‘talked to death.” It was put there at the dictation of her husband, who asserts that the victim was killed by the incessant advice and criticism of neighbors. Says the Pittsburg Dispatch: Con sidering the statement of one of the largest packing houses filed in New York the other day as basis in a bond issue, that the net profits for last year were 35 percent, and adding that to the 38 percent boost given by the re tailers, it seems unnecessary to look much further for explanation of the climbing prices. The family festivals of one nation need explaining to the citizens of an other. So it was, recalls the Argonaut, at a recent gofden wedding announced to be celebrated in an English coun try house where there was a French guest. The thing is not unknown in France, but it is there called a jubilee. He asked therefore what the golden wedding might mean. “It means,” said his English friend, not without emo tion, “that these two people have lived together, in happiness and affec tion, for 50 long years.” “Ah, yes,” cried the alien, “I understand perfect ly; and now they are to be married, eh?” Speaking of the “dignity” that re strains some banks from advertising, a writer in Printers’ Ink says that “the mere fact that a bank deals in money exclusively is no reason why it should be barred from using every legitimate means in order to get the maximum dividends possible.” The most important of those means is good, live newspaper publicity, defines the Philadelphia Record. A savings bank out in Los Angeles is one of the many examples cited in the ad vertising journals to demonstrate how financial institutions may be profit ably exploited. Some time ago it be gan to run a series of “ads” in the lo cal newspapers, each “ad” aiming to interest a particular class of deposi tors. The latest report on the results is that the volume of deposits in creased $1,150,000 in three months. And this was not an exceptional case. Newspaper readers in Philadelphia are subject to the same Influences that were brought to bear on those in Los Angeles. The complexity of modern life Is realistically mirrored in music, de clares Redfern Mason, in the Atlan tic. The legendary epoch, when mu sic existed as sweet sound and noth ing more, eludes discovery. Even the thousand-year-old Veni Creator Splrl tus of Notker Balbulus imitates the creaking of the abbey mill wheel. Charpentier’s Louise, with its remin scences of the calls of Parisisn tradesmen and mendicants, has its prototype in Jannequin’s Cris de Pa ris, written in the 17th century. The old German composer, Kuhnau, com ing a little later, has a realistic por trayal of the combat of David and Goliath, down to the whizzing of the stone from David’s sling, thus anti cipating by a century or so Wagner's representation of the casting of Kling sor’s spear. So far then from being a distinctive mark of modernism, real ism is rather a sign of antiquity. Even Bach, long regarded as the abstract musician par excellence, is proved by Schweitzer to be a thorough paced realist, consistently using progressions and figures illustrative of the text. He pictures the flow of water much as Schubert does it in Auf dem Wasser zu singen; he has formulae for the representation of a large variety physical effects and mind-stakes. It is in its novelty of application, its sub tlety, its intensity, that we must seek the modernist trait in realism. HIGH TRIBUTE TO JEWS President Talt Talks to a Dele gation oi Publishers. 110 LIMITED MM President Promisjs to Sign No Bill Without Giving Hearing to Publishers of Foreign Language Newspapers. Washington, D. C—ln reply to a delegation from the American Asso ciation of Foreign Language News papers, who called at the white house to protest gainst certain immigra tion bills pending in congress, Pres ident Taft paid a high tribute to the Jews, who had come to America from various parts of the world and had become imbued with a true spirit of patriotism. “The question of limiting immigra tion,” said the president, “in such a way as to shut out the undesirable part of the population of Europe, which comes here rather by the arti ficial stimulation of those whose in terest it is to have as many come as possible, is a question which has addressed itself to congress in the past. They rejected —for I was pres ent in congress when it was done— the educational limitation on the ground that the limitation was one which did not shut out those whom we most desired to shut out, and that the anarchist—a man who comes here with no loyalty to the new gov ernment —is the man who could eas ily pass a mental examination. “Now all I can say about this, be cause I cannot commit myself to any particular form of legislation, is that in so far as I am concerned, I shall sign no bill without giving you gentle men a full opportunity to be heard. It is possible that we shall differ, but 1. think that where a hearing is given a safer conclusion is likely to be reached. “In going about this country thir teen thousand miles, as 1 did last year, the thing which impressed me more than anything else was the fact that the process through which we had gone, of welcoming immigrants from everywhere and mixing them and amalgamating them with our pop ulation, had produced a distinct type of American, as distinguished from any of the people of which that type was made up, and therefore, were we to impose unjust burdens and stop immigration, we should go back on that which up to this time has enabled us to be a great people. “I only want to say one more word. I visited the east side in New York about two years ago, and 1 was ex ceedingly impressed with the fact that the Jewish population there had recognized the opportunity this coun try offered to them, that the young men and women who had attended the public schools and who had set tled in that part of New York had appreciated to the fullest the benefits that this country had conferred, and that there was no part of the country in which the real, true spirit of pa triotism prevailed more deeply than there. That threw a somewhat new light on my general view of the situ ation with respect to the law's of im migration and how they ou&ht to be enforced.” BATTLESHIP COMMISSIONED. The South Carolina Has Been Accep ted by the Government. Philadelphia, Pa. —With the boom ing of guns, the battleship South Car olina was placed in commission at the Philadelphia navy yard. After Captain Augustus F. Fechtelor had read the orders of the navy depart ment putting him in command, the stars and stripes w'ere run to the masthead, as officers and crew stood attention. Salutes were then ex changed between the shore battery at the navy yard and the battleship. The South Carolina and her sister ship, the Michigan, are the most pow erful vessels in the navy. The new ship sailed for Hampton Roads, and later will proceed to Charleston, S. C. At tne latter place the battleship will be given a hand some silver service by the Daughters of the American Revolution. SENA ICR NOT ABOVE LAW. Congressional Printing Committee Is Haled Before Court. « Washington, D. C. —Justice Wright, in the supreme court of thfe District of Columbia, decided that the court acted entirely within its authority when it issued the writ of mandamus ordering the point committee on»the printing of congress to show cause why it should not consider the bid of the Valley Paper Company of Holy oke, Mass. This means that the sen ate members of the committee will be compelled to appear in court either in person or by counsel. $20,000 for Champion Pacer. Macon, Ga. The announcement was made here of the sale of George Gano, last season's leading winning pacer, time, 2:03 1-4, who has been purchased by Mr. M. M. Savage of Minneapolis, Minn., for the record price of $20,000. This is one of the largest sums ever given for a horse. George Gano is a bay stallion. The new owner, Mr. Savage, is also the owner of l>an Patch and Minor Heir. Roddenbery Sworn In. Washington, D. C—F. A. Rodden bery, successor of the late Represen tative J. M. Griggs of the second Georgia district, was sworn in as a member of the bouse. MEAT TRUST INDICTED. Six Great Packing Companies and Twenty-One Packers Must Stand Trial. New York City —Six great packing companies and twenty-one packers, several of them multi-millionaires, so cially and industrially prominent, were indicted by a grand jury in Hudson county. New Jersey, charged with conspiracy in limiting the sup ply of meat and poultry. The indictment is drawm up under the law of New Jersey, which pro vides, upon conviction, a maximum penalty of three years in the peni tentiary, or a SI,OOO fine, or both. The offense is extraditable, which means that practically the meat bar ons of this country must either suc cessfully escape ’extradition or come to Jersey Citl for trial. Pierre Garven, the public prosecu tor of Hudson county, announces he will forthwith notify the defendants of the indictment and will be ready to force extradition in every case None, he says, will be spared. The defendants as named are as follows: Corporations: The National Pack ing Company, Armour & Co., Swift & Co., Morris & Co., Hammond Pack ing Company, G. H. Hammond & Co. Individuals: J. Ogden Armour, A. Watson Armour, Louis F. Swift, Ed ward F. Swift, Charles H. Swift, Ed ward Morris, Ira N. Morris, Arthur Meeker, Edward Tilden, L. A. Carton, Thomas E. Wilson, Thomas J. Con ners, F. A. Fowler, L. H. Heyman, James E. Bathgate, Jr., George J. Edwards, Frederick B. Cooper, D. E. Hartwell, Henry B. Darlington, A. A. Fuller, Lemuel C. Patterson. The indictment, which bristles in its arraignment of the men named, also refers to “divers oihers” as be ing responsible. These latter, how ever, are not specified. The foregoing list of names, it will be seen, represents the very back bone of the great packing industry, containing, as it does, two Arm urs, three Swifts and two Morrises, all for the most part residents of Chicago, together with less important figures in the packing world. Their indict ment brings to a climax the first’ con certed action in the east to fix re sponsibility for the prevailing abnor mally high prices of commodities. The indictment states that mere driblets of the supply were put on the market at stated intervals, small quantities agreed upon by the defend ants, thus to curtail and restrict the supply for the purpose of fictitiously, arbitrarily and unlawfully increasing prices to the public.” No attempt is made to recite the loss alleged to have been sustained by the public by this alleged crea tion of artificial prices, but ware houses are held specifically to blame. By this means, it is charged, the de fendants were successful in keeping off the markets large quantities of meat and poultry which, if put upon the markets, would have been suffi cient to meet reasonable demand. TO FKHT PEACH DISEASES. Government Experts to Be Stationed at Barnesville, Ga. Barnesville, Ga —Large peach grow ers of this city have induced the bu reau of plant industry and entomol ogy at Washington to establish here an experimental and demonstration station for the purpose of showing the fruit growers how to control the two deadly enemies of the peach in dustry, namely, curculio and brown rot. For some time they have corre sponded with the authorities at Wash ington and succeeded in getting the department to send representatives here to look into the situation. Dur ing the coming season each of these departments will have a representa tive in the peach belt of inis vicinity. A building rented by the govern ment and the necessary apparatus will be installed at once. Mr. W. M. Scott of the bureau of plant industry and Mr. A. u Quaintance of the bu reau of entomology will be in charge of the station. No Arbitration to Stop Strike. Philadelphia, Pa. —In spite of the constantly increasing demands by re ligious bodies and others that arbitra tion be resorted to, to settle the strike against the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company, officials of that company declared that no proposi tion looking toward arbitration in any form is being considered by the board of directors. Newsy Paragraphs. A souvenir of the capture of a southern blockade runner during the civil war, an old box containing about $35,000 in Confederate bonds, has been found in the customs house in Boston, Mass. The discovery was made during the removal of the cus toms house property to temporary quarters while a new tower is being constructed on the old building. It was announced before the Acad emy of Science at Berlin that Mine. Currie, who, with the late Professor Currie discovered radium, has suc ceeded after one hundred and forty days of research in obtaining a tenth or a milligram of the new element known as polonium. She states that it possesses a radioctivity superior tc radium, but disappears rapidly, whereas radium conserves its energy indefinitely. Polonium is said to be five thousand times rarer than radi um. The tiny speck produced was the result of treating five tons of pitch blend with hydrochloric acid. It is kept in a vase of quartz and the vase is split and cracked in all di rections from the rapid chemical de composition caused by the poionium. Often The Kidneys Are Weakened by Over-Work.

My old friend Mr. Glumm declares That holidays are all a sell; They interfere with our affairs And cost a lot of cash as well. And yet his words cannot provoke My envy for his hoarded sum.
