When the cornerstone of the Rob ertson county court house at Spring- field, Tenn., was opened a few days ago, due to remodeling of the struc ture, many articles' deposited in it^a half century ago were brought to light. One of the items known to have been * * placed therein was.a bottle of whisky, and onlookers at the opening of the cornerstone’ ma^" have had hopes of sampling the famous product. But if so, they were doomed to disappoint ment. The bottle was found, but it wag empty, the contents having dis appeared presumably by evaporation. On the bottlfe was the inscription: “This whisky was made at the dis tillery of Wiley Woodward—and de posited by J. S. Brown, Sept. 26, 1879; whisky was three years old when de posited.” , Many other interesting relics were found in the stone, including newspa pers, minutes of official proceedings, lists of fraternal society members, a history of the old Ku Klux Klan, a bank statement and other documents. There was also a coin which is now 191 years old, one $100 bill and two $20 bills. The bills were no more valuable than the empty bottle, however, as they were Confederate currency.

The second child in a family is brighter than the first .declares Prof. Thurstone. of Chicago. But the first is generally bright enough to have things pretty much its own way. Predictions that a proposed tourist playground in Panama will be a great auccesg appear to be well founded.

A month ago the govern ment predicted that the cotton crop thig year wWld oe nearly three-quar- terg of a million bales LESS than was estimated 30 days earlier and the well known New Yoik Cotton Exchange closed at an advance of 25 points over the previous close. Tuesday the gov ernment made another guess and add ed about 90,000 bales to the Septem ber estimate and the market declined ^4 points under Monday's closing <fUotations. All of which should be very pleasing to one Carl Williams, so-called cotton representative on the also so-called Farm Relief Board. ■4c i ^ Are We Lawless? r 9 : We hear a lot about lawlessness in America, and it is true that we are lawless in one sense of the word. That is, there is more disregard of law in this country, perhaps, than in any other on the globe. However, if we define lawless to mean being without laws, we are cer tainly anything else but. We live un- ' Aar many thousands of laws and ordi- Mtnces, most of which the average cit- iaen never heard of. A recent state ment by T. R. Preston, former presi dent of the American Bankers Asso ciation, will illustrate this: would take a man working eight boors a day seven years to read all the laws carted last year, yet ignorance of the low is no excuse. Coorts ere to * that the district attorney of that if every de- a jory trial. * . Quite a lot of crusading has been done with a view to doing away with the barricades of billboards which mar the beauty of our natural scenery, but in spite of some progress made here and there, the billboard is still the out standing national nuisance. If this nuisance is ever to be ef fectively abated it must be done through convincing advertisers that their part in perpetuating it is bad business for them. Appeals to senti ment and love cf the beautiful are generally futile. State, county and city authorities can aid in the movement very material ly, however, but it is often difficult to spur them to action. A recent exam ple of commendable activity in the fight against ugliness is seen in Geor gia, where the commissioners of Ful ton County, in which Atlanta is sit uated, have ordered the removal of all signs and billboarda along the high ways under their jurisdiction. The member who sponsored this measure .aid: “There js a proper place for every thing, including advertiaing. Our highways are designed to give tour ists and Atlanta motorists the most beautiful scenery possible, but that scenery i t being ruined by the ever- in reading number of billboards ano signs.’' This is true for every county in America where the encroachments of the “outdoor advertiser" have been permitted to have unrestricted sway. The foolishness of it all cuts like a two-edged sword. Billboards in loca tions which render them offensive are irritating to the public, without bene fit to the concerns which pay for them with the mistaken idea that they are building business and good will. Our readers will doubtless recall the fight made by our own State highway department, under Admiral Sam Mc Gowan, a few years ago in an effort to remove such billboards and signs from along the highways. We believe that the department did succeed in having the billboards placed at a specified dis tance from the highways, but found itself powerless to prevent owners of property adjacent to the highways from renting their lands to advertis ers. ^ mr W*” ****■' - ♦ ♦ INTERESTING NOTES.
