American Industries for December 1st, is largely devoted to papen os the fanndament?l prosperity of tb? United States, among the contributors being Henry Clews, George J. Goold E. H. Gary^J. J. Hill, Joseph G. Can non, Hon. James Bryce, Thomas L James Lucius Tuttle, James Uriarra ~ han, J. H. Webster, James McLean. Leslie M. Shaw, Andrew Carnegie George T. Oliver, Prank Seaman Theodore P.

It is a symposium of prosper ity and a return of business confi dence. In an interesting summary, the editor says that American people as a whole are tho richest on earth Their visible assets , exceed $1,500,000 . 000,000. This valuation docs not in ? elude our lands nor the estimated val uations of our mines and standing timber. As a comparison it may he c. pointed out that Great Britain's vis> . ble assets are $500,000,000,000. Each revolution of the globe sees us richer by the sum of $10,500,000. Our in , crease in riches in each two months is som thing in excess of the aggregate banking capital of all the hanks in . Great Britain and Ireland. In each ten days we roll up a national gain in richea that is the equivalent of the capital and the reserve of the Bank of England. We have 22,000,000 workers who earn $14,000,000,000 during a year, which does not include dividends on any form of stock ox incomes from hank deposita.' If . the total wealth of the United States were divided into per capita allot ments it would figure at $1,768. All the riches of our millionaires in the aggregate pal? into insignificance when contrasted roth the people's money in our saving's banks, which contain ?even times as much money as is held on account of all the crown ed Heads and nobility of Europe and A sin- We possess one-fifth of the world's money though our country has but one-sixth of the world's popu lation and only one-seventh per cent of its area. The industries of this country which consume agricultural products as the principal materials employ 37 per ?cent of all persons engaged in manu facturing and the capital of those in dustries is 42.5 per cent of the capital of all manufacturing plants. The val ue of the capital invested in our rail roads is almost $1-: ,000,000,000. The total length of the roads is 226,000 miles of double and single track lines. Adding sidings and trackage in rail-, road yards, the total line of tracks measures 314,000 miles. The annual passenger traffic is 700,000,000, the yearly haulage of freight is 1,650,000 tons. To operate this service 1,657,600 freight, 35,000 passenger cars and 56, 000 locomotives are required. The an nual upkeep of these roads costs $300,000,0(10, and they consume the larger part of the output of our steel mills. In freight carriage there has been a gain of 48,000,000 tons be tween 1902 and 1907. This gain is 9,000,000 more than the total tonnage of-freight carried by all our railroads in 1S80. The conclusion arrived at from a review of these simple statistics is that beyond doubt this country is not only increasingly prosperous . as the years pass, but prosperous to a mar velous degree at. the present hour. _Qmrk>tte Evening Chroniclo Always Unfortunate.

C., Dec. 14, 1907. To the Democracy of South Carolina: I \i ill stand as a candidate-for the United. States Senate in the primary ne~t summer. I do not place my candidacy ou the ground alone that I have been so licited to run, but squarely state that I would be proud to represent the peopie of the Palmetto State in the greatest' Council of. the Nation. I am not ashamed of the canvass for that high . office, which. I made in 1902, and although the environments of that race prevented; me from re?ehing higher than the" third , place, yet the-friendships'then formed, and the 'experiences then realized, induce me "to appear before you again and ask your suffrage. Whether I am worthy 'or not is for your determination. For over a quarter of a century 1 have ^been actively engaged in the counsels of the Democratic party; fighting for the rights of the people and I invite scrutiny of my record. Immigration. I know of no burning "Issue" that will have to be discussed or fought over by those who may enter tho race. Thc present incumbent, Mr. Lati mer, has ingeniously endeavored to raise an "Issue" (for what purpose may be learned hereafter). He has pus up the Immigration questiou as a man of straw and vociferously and urgently he has torn him to pieces, hoping to find some one who will come out and oppose him on that issne. Surely it was not necessary to take a free trip at the expense of the people, and upon the appointement of Mr. Roosevelt, across the briny deep to ascertain the fact that the good.people of South Carolina, "na tive and tb the manor born;" and also our good citizens of "Foreign Birth," are opposed to indiscrimi nate and pauper immigration. Why then howl about it! Better let more work -be done in Congress to pass stricter laws to safeguard the exclu sion of the "Undesirable,"- such as aro now a menace to the North and West. " . \ . Give us such Federal laws as will enable the South to properly adver tise its resources, and bring to us home-seekers; with right principles, and capable to build up our waste places ;v and not interfere with our labor on the farms and in the mills, and keep out the undesirable. That is what we want. The Burean at Columbia. Why should an attack be made on the Bureau at Columbia, and why should it be abolished, because the Junior Senat?, r and all of those who rmy oppose him are in favor of only "desirable immigrants VJ Even if the good men in charge of it desire to bring in pauper immi grants, they could not do .so, ' be cause the Federal laws, as well as the Act creating the Bureau restricts it. Tho effort to decry the Bureau is simply an effort to create ?n issue ; but such abortive efforts will not mislead the people. They will think, and they have a plenty of time to think by next August. That Bureau was formed for more things than to look for "desirable immigration. ' ' The Act says: "That a State De partment of Agriculture, Commerce and Immigration is hereby created, which shall be charged as far. as pos sible with the Execution of the work usually devolved upon a bureau of Immigration, a bureau of Agricul ture and a bureau of Publicity." Give it a trial before tearing it down. The people of the South are calm ly solving the race question; and they will solve the immigration ques tion too, by their good common sense, if not stirred up by those who de sire to create political capital. Why Attack Charleston? Because we are opposed, and op posed in the lullest extent to "unde sirable immigration,*' why pour cold water on the development of any in dustry which would come to the port of the metropolis of our State? The country people will not bc misled by that. Let her have, nay more^- hclp her to get lines of steamers,"not only from Triest, but from Bremen, from Liverpool; and elsewhere, especially when we are told the Southern and Coast Line are giving her rates, the same as Norfolk on exports.

That bill! It.must be rotting In the pigeon hole of some Chairman of th.e Senate. Why not call it out . and have it discussed, and let us ?have some practical illustrations of how much-the people of South Car olina would get out of it anyhow? Tie Currency Question. He who may represent the South in either house of Congress in the near future, must be ready to cope with and jmsh urgent issues.. The presen^ emergency on us in the mon ey market, which necessarily affects the price of cotton and manufactured goods, cs well as stocks, shows the uecessity of prompt 'Currency Re: .form." It is a shame that some Fed eral statute is not enacted allowing the banks to issue emergency cur rency On an efficient and safe basis, [t is a terrible spectacle to behold the mtire business of the United States it the mercy of the magnates of Wall Street, and the Secretary of the Treasury, on the question of putting currency into circulation. The gov ernment ought lo rule Wall Street, and not allow it to rule the people any longer. The inelasticity and in efficiency- of the Currency system is as great a detriment to business, as a failure of crops, for it reduces thc value of all crops, and Congress ought to proceed quickly to furnish some remedy for the relief of the recent ' depression in prices in the country. And -some permanent method ought.to be adopted to meet future trouble. Congress should rise above partisan "politics in this matter. It will not do to say that a remedy carnot be found, as an nounced by Mr. Latimcr in his last interview. The people demand a permanent remedy: . Many of thc States, notably South Carolina and Georgia, "by stringent statutes have . demolished the busi ness of the Bucket Shops within our borders, and kept a good deal of money at home for legitimate pur poses. Congress by Federal statutes, even to the extent of fine and im prisonment ought to demolish the greatest of Bucket Shops and divert tho money, which goes into illegal stock gambling, to the avenues of honest trade. Tariff Reform. We have heard of ."the tariff" all our days; but if there ever was a time when the Democrats, and espe ciu?ly. those of the South should move forward and demand tariff reform, and that immediately, nov,' is the limo. All throughout the North, there are many people inside of thc Republican party, who are ready to join the Democrats in an effort lo rectify the fearful burden that rests on the people by indirect taxation. It will not do to allow our people to be lulled to sleep by appropria tions for local improvements, and to acquiesce in the enrichment of the Robber Barons and Trusts, who fat ten, because of the existence of a system of. protective duties. It is the settled policy of the Uni ted States to make appropriations to maintain the rivers and harbors and great water, ways of thc land; such as tho Mississippi river, and our har bors and rivers, and every dictate of reason justifies the building of thc great Isthmian canal, but we- should regard with a great deul of suspi cion many of the chimerical sugges tions to build up private enterprises at the expenses of the National Gov ernment, for it would prove too great a -precedent to perpetuate the tariff^ and to roll up a big fund of money in the treasury, wrung from the peo ple by indirect taxation. Fight Centralization. We are also told by the President that he .has "turned on the light," and we arc glad he has brought to light, the rottenness that exists in high places, but wc must not be de ceived by tho no uncertain and im perativo call he makes to give the Federal Executive greater power, even to centralization. Ho wants not only more power to manage and control the implements of Inter-stale Com merce (and there is. no objection to that), but he wants to bend and twist thc Inter-state Commerce clause of tho Constitution, so that the Fedcr d Executive should ben enabled to seize upon and reg?lale even tho intra State activities and to subject the products of her soil, thc labor md output of her mills and mines, ill to tho touch of the Federal power. Thc Drainage Question. The irrigation of arid lands in the iVest by Federal aid, seems lo have lecorae a fixed policy, like the ira irovement of the great arteries and larbors of trade, and logically it fol ows that the drainage of the swamp egions of thc South ought to be | * Stoves, Banges, ;ing Goods, Bi hornean these Goods. yes and Ranges ever arket. 864 Broad Street.

Atlanta, .Ga., Special.-With the advent of the new year the law pre venting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor passed by the last session of the Legislature be comes effective, making Georgia the first of the Southern States to be placed in the prohibition column. The law is very drastic in ita prohi bition and prev?n tis' the keeping or giving away of liquors in public places and imposes a tax of $500 on clubs whose members are alloAved to keep drinks of an intoxicating na ture in their individual lockers. To Test Legislation. Notwithstanding the passage of this law there is some agitation to have it declared unconstitutional, and it is known that a prominent firm of lawyers has been asked to test the merits of the legislation. This action may be brought in the United States courts in the course of the next month, and it is asserted will bc based on the fact that the constitu tion of Georgia sp eifically provides that all revenue from liquor license shall be used for the school fund. This matter has 'been under consid eration for some two months and has been in the hands of the best con stitutional lawyers in Georgia. Sev eral million dollars arc involved in a property loss in the State by the operation of the prohibition law. It is estimated that Atlanta alone would lose in license laxes $135,G?2 and that the property value of saloons and breweries here which will go out of business on January 1st is from ^$1,000,000 to. $1,500,000. For the rest of the State the property values involved are about $5,000,000. It is estimated here that 10,000 persons are effected in the way of employ ment iu the State and that Atlanta alone has ' some 1,500 persons who will lose their work when January rings its bell on the sale of intoxi* eating liquors. Law Will Be Enforced. That the prohibition law will he enforced there is no question. This is not the country of the speak-easy, and when the police have their laws they enforce . them to the limit. Governor Smith and the city court officials have been frank in their statements that they intend to en force the law and that no fines would be imposed for the illegal sale of, liquor, but that prison sentences would follow the violation of any part of the prohibition act. One .pe culiar feature of the law is that even the incorporated clubs are allowed to provide intoxicating drinks for their members, either with or without food. A man may have a locker in a club and keep whatever he pleases in this locker, but a club having such lockers is subject to an excise iax of $500 a year. Another feature of the law is that a mau may not even in his club invite a friend to join him. in a drink.- The only way he can evade this is by leaving hit. locker open that an acquaintance may have access. Several of thc clubs in Georgia have taken out their excise tax license and are pro- ? viding lockers in their rooms, but many of thc more prominent have declared that they will go one bet ter than the law and prohibit the keeping of liquor within their doors. Tax Rate May Increase. The constitutional law of Georgi?? in its provision for school mainten ance is veiw specific, according lo one Atlanta lawyer. . The question now arises where the funds for thc main tenance of thc public schools will come from, and it is said that a con sid?rale increase in the tax rate may result.

But, nevertheless, it seems to serve the same purpose in permitting a temporary expenditure of excess ner vous energy when the animal is un der great strain. For instance, when carefully stalking a bird or a man, as in the case of a kitten or a lion, the tip of the tail is never still for a moment-ever curling and uncurl ing. We may compare this to the nervous tapping of the foot or fing ers in a man. When an angry lion is roaring his loudest, his tail will frequently lash from side to side, giv ing rise among the ancients to the belief that he scourged his body with a hook or thorn which grew from the end of the tail. When a jaguar walks along a slender bough, or a house cat peram bulates the top of a board fence, we perceive another important function of the tail-that of an aid in balanc ing. As a tight-rope performer sways his pole, so the feline shifts its tail to preserve the center of gravity. The tail of a sheep seems to be of little use to its owner, although in thc breed which is. found in Asia Minor and on the tablelands of Tar tary, this organ functions as a store house of fat, and sometimes reaches a weight of fifty pounds. When viewed from behind, the animal seems all tail, and when this appendage reaches its full size it is either fast ened between two sticks which drags on the ground, or it is suspended on two small wheels.-C.

BOOK PUBLISHINC The General Demand of the Well-informed of the World baa always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its com ponent parts are known'to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to thc system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its ex cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remark* able success. That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine-manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle. G?.-ALA.
