THE ‘RECORD, PUBLISHED ON FRIDAYS. GIBSON, GA. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF GLASCOCK COUNTY. J. W. WHITE LEY, Manager. Japan is floatin naw loans declares the New York Commercial, for the purpose of floating new merchant ships. In the south, if not elsewhere, ac cording to the New York Stm, men do not fall into contempt and negligence because of their refusal of tho vulgar role of self exploitation. The lady on trial for murder who In order to avoid error described her own court costume for the report era, suggests tho New York World, has a swift instinct for detecting the rcaiiy vital point of a trial. Speaking off-hand, there are almost a-thousand-and-one universities, col leges tnd “schools” In this country that offer courses of instruction In law and confer law degrees on their graduates under due regulations and restrictions, maintains the New York Commercial. Admission to the bar and authorization to practise law In any state, county or a more subordinate jurisdiction con stitute quite another matter. Any per son, roan or woman, who applies for such privileges and passes the required examinations, whether or not a “law graduate" or any other graduate, ac quires thereby a primary professional status as good aa the best. The Western Christian Advocate is of the opinion that some of the minis ters of the Methodist and other churches would do well to break them selves of the habit of unduly prolong ing their syllables In prayer and ser monff "Romo of them,” says the Ad vocate,' "have fallen into bad ways without being aware of It. What 1 b the use of Inordinately drawing out words like this; ‘And, O-a-o-h L-o-r-d, w-e-e b-e-e-s-e-e-c-h Thee, etc.’ It is unnatural, it tires the worshipper by Its strains and monotony, it suggests that Ihe minister is desperulely hold ing on to his word until he can sum mon some other thoughts. Simple but reverent language, spoken in natural, unaffected union ventlonalticd tones will always be the most welcome to a worshipping congregation." I*^America nod Swope rhn see that Japan is being caught in (he atrong current of modem Industrial and com mercial organization and is being swept away from the old moorings, declares the Cleveland leader. A Jap an of factories and mills, machinery and big corporations, wealth such as the cotin try never before knew and a grim Industrial grind strange to the Japanese is coming into existence. The whole color of Japanese life is chang ing. Wealth is making itself the usual object of worship in industrial and commercial nations. Will lts votaries and ihe victims of its bitter rivalries— Ihe human sacrifices of wealth abused and misdirected—emulate the feats of arms which amazed the world in Ihe siege of Port Arthur and the great battles from Uao-Yang to Mukden? El Caney should have a monument to General Vara Del Hey, as the Span ish club of Havana proposes, pleads the New York Sun. His lent In de fending the little town for ten hours against a-n American force ten times larger than his own was perhaps the finest exhibition of valor that the war records. He suceumber only to his wounds and died a soldier's death. If he had been ail American or a British commander, his heroism would have found an inspired singer, We are glad to sec that American officers who serv ed in Cuba desire -to subscribe to the monument funds The gallautry of the Spanish veteran has its niche in their memories of the first of July. They have done justice to the achievement of Vara Del Rey, but be has not had hia deserts from the American historian, The New York American urges that a recent French loan, which is one of many similar Investments of Europe in America, means that thousands of people in France will be interested henceforth in keeping account of the eatiling capacity of an American rail road running from the metropolis tirough New England, Similarly French gold is assisting in the devel opment of the Pennsylvania railroad. The United Slates government is at present preparing a report of the in vestments of American capital in tho Dominion of Canada. In the past five years more than fifty million dollars of American money has been devoted to building Yankee factories in Eu rope. Fully one billion dollars of the capital # of the United Slates is busy developing the resources of Mexico. European Investments in a like amount have gene into South America. Thus, while armies and fleets are be ing multiplied, migrations of the world’s wealth are giving all countries a common reason to work for universal peace, solvency and progress Dr. King’s New Life Pills The beet In the world. brokers filled pockets Those in Conspiracy With Holmes Got Easy Money — Figures Once Changed for Theodore Price. When the trial of Edwin 8. Holmes, Jr., for divulging information ae to crop reports before being made pub lic, was resumed In .Judge Stafford'a court at Washington Tuesday, L. C. Van Riper, the New York broker, con tinued bis testimony, taking up his story with relation to payments to Haas and Holmes, repeat ing much of what he had said Mon day, but adding one Item at $25,000 paid to Peckham, Questioned concerning the division of the profits realised on the cotton ginner*’ report for December, 1904, Van Riper said there was $43,071 to be distributed and that this sum was divided Into four parts. ThfB division had taken place December 29, 1904. at » hotel in New York, where ho and Peckham had gono to meet Haaa and Holmes. Haas’ share of tho amount was $10,767, but ho had been given $10,800 because they could not make change. In response to questions by Mr. Beach, the witness said Holmes had talked with him concerning his mines in Idaho. He had first spoken of them In St. lands as claims, but la tfcr Haas had come into hia office, saying to him that ho had a contract for him to sign that he might show as an explanation as to where he had gotten so much money. “Did you pay him any money for tho mines?’’ ”1 did not.” "Did Mr, Holmes ever talk with you as to what would happen to him If it was known that he was giving out this Information?” "Ho did. In December ho said noth ing could happen to him; that he had had legal advice and knew that there was no law covering tho cane." Van Riper also said that Holmes had told him that on a former occa sion in 1903 when there had been leaks in the report he had gono to tho white house to assure the presi dent. that the system was perfect and had received tho president's congratu lations ou ils excellence. “Did Holmes tell you at that time whether there was any justification of the suspicion that there was a leak?” "Iio said there was; he told mo that he had furnished the figures to Price and related how Haas had gone back ami forth several times between him and Prlco in an effort to have the approaching report manipulated so as to suit Price’s conditions, The out I jjk w»»-4or a reporL.shoirlng a pro fCfton of 10,250,000 bales. "Prices was short and Bald those fig ures would not help him and pleaded to have the amount reduced below ten million, If the amount could not be made higher so that he could take the Other side. Holmes had said It could not possibly be made lower than 10, 020,000 bales, but Price Insisted and the figures wore made to conform to Price’* requirements." He said that afterwards an effort was made at Holmes' suggestion tc get an outside place for Statistician Hyde in order that Holmes could be promoted to the chief position In tho office. BARR AT THE HELM. Well Known Railroad Man in Charge of Jamestown Exposition. Tho directors of the Jamestown Ex position company at a meeting in Nor folk, accepted the reslgna.ion of Gov ernor Cottrell, practically made Jas. M. Barr director general with full powers, succeeding to the duties of Mr. Cottrell, and indorsed a second bond issue for $700,000 to cover nil the exposition company’s liabilities. Mr. Barr will immediately take charge and bend every energy to complete the show within the next three weeks. ALL MUST STAND FROM UNDER. Roosevelt Will Be Only Issue in the Presidential Campaign. Harry S. New, chgjrman of the re publican national committee, dlscuss ing the campaign of 1908, informally, at the banquet of the Missouri Re publican Club at Kansas City, Wed nesday night, said; "The country is not going back to silver. A new issue must bo found. That Issue will be Theodore Roose velt. The man who announces himself ’or office in 1908 must be. a Roosevelt importer." ERRING CASHIER MISSING Likewise is Some Cash Belonging to Cotton Oil Company. Benjamin L. Ivey, cashier of the office of the Southern Cotton Oil com pany at Augusta, is missing and Is short $1,469 in his accounts. He lost the money gambling. The story differs little from that which has been told countless times before, The same temptation and the samp miserable resulia. CARPENTERS READY TO STRIKE Planing N.iila of Memphis Will Oper ate Open Shops. Two thousand union carpenters In Memphis threaten to strike with 160 of their fellow-workers, who walked out at noon Tuesday, following notices from fifteen planing mills of Memphis that they will operate open shops. The trouble was precipi.ated when cm jtloyers began purchasing lumber frv>m nen-shoo mills. MADE BUM BUTTER Uncle Sam Pounces Upon a Violator of Federal Law, RAN A COWLESS DAIRY Atlanta Man Posed as a fturalite, with Rustic Turnout, and Palmed Off Spurious Product on Unsus pecting Public. A campaign Of sweeping scope and energy against impure butter as it is made and Bold in Atlanta, whether by housekeepers or business firms, ban been inaugurated by the United Stales' dlstrlc. attorney’s office. The indictment Monday afternoon of Leonard Bharpton, who lives near Eas;t Atlanta, and is charged with running a cowleas dairy, the products of which are said to be 75 per cent water, la tho first step of the prose cution. If, however, evidence now In the bands of revenue officers and the city health department holds good, scores of other cases are to be made and developments as startling as those of the Bharpton probe will be forthcoming. It appears, in fact, that for a year or more, Atlanta has been swallow ing tons of rancid stuff, which, un der the name of butter, contains all manner of adulterations—alkalis, wa ter, chemicals and, In some instances, substances almost poisonous. According to Assistant District At torney John Henley, the violation of the "adulterated butter act" Is not confined to persons who are knowing ly fraudulent. Many housekeepers with no 111 intentions are really break ing tho law by making or selling pro ducts which are old butter worked over with milk and hot water, and, while such cases may not come under the head of tho more flagrant viola tions, they are violations neverthe less, and are subject to heavy fines. How Sharpton plied Ills trade and was finally discovered by the health officers Is a singular and at the same time a typical story of the Atlanta butter frauds, if the allegation against him is true. For some time, say the officers, he had been driving a rural looking cart over the city and mar keting what he represented to be fresh country butter. And, to be sure, the neatly packed cakes he handed out to housekeepers were tempting in color and smell. Whenever the Sharp ton nag cams trotting around a cur lier, flier hoofs spattered with the proper amount of country mud and i a stray crinkle burr 'caught artist ically hero and there in her tall, the city people would have visions of fresh meadows and imagine they caught odors of dairy and farm. But imagination was about all there was to it, say the inspectors, for when they paid a visit to the Sharpton dairy one afternoon there wasn’t a cow, not even a calf or a ragged goat in sight, they declare. Sharpton’s place, on the contrary, was just an ordinary subur ban house in East Atlanta. The investigation was made on com plaint of a housekeeper. The lady said that Sharpton’s butter was a wonder; that it worked on princi ples precisely opposite from thosu that obtained in the widow’s meal spo ken of In the Bible. When Sharpton was first arrested 100 pounds of his so-called butter had been seized and carried to police headquarters. The police said It was so full of water that as it began to melt it flooded the station house and contained about 4 ounces of Imtft-r to 12 of water. Of this seizure a sam ple was sent to the department*)! aa rlciitture a Washington, where it was estimated to contain -15 9-10 per ofnt water. When these facts were laid before the federal grand jury a true bill was promptly returned against Leonard Sharpton. USED TORCH TO GET REWARD. Volunteer Fire Company Employs Unique Grafting Scheme. A series of twenty-three fires in Siobenlehu, Saxony, extending from 1S96 to 1906, by which sixty-three houses were burned, has been traced to the volunteer brigade there. The chief traders, artisans and the burgomaster were the heads of tho conspiracy. The firesfltm were period* ically rewarded for heroic conduct for extinguishing fires which they them aeives had started. FLAMES DESTROY CAR BARNS.
