K. Dval is home from a prolonged
stay in various Southern states. He
has again .resumed management of his
business in this city and Mr. Mattice
is a partner and the firm will be
known as Dyal & Mattice. Incidental
to his return from the sunny South,
Mr. Dyal discusses economical and po
litical 'questions from the viewpoint of
a. man who has been among the South
erners on a prolonged stay. In this
connection Mr. Dyal relates:
Many changes have taken place in
the South since the days of recon
struction, but none have played so
important a part as the dawn which
lias broken the "solid south" political
ly, for with the advent of a more tol
erant and liberal feeling in things
pertaining to government has come a
desire on the part of capitalist to in
vest and thus increase the valuation
of property. The southerner acquired
or inherited a feeling of animosity to--wards
the North during the Civil war
which until recently has been unfav
orable to a man or corporation seek
ing a field in the South, and especially
has this been the case in the rural
districts. Having had occasion to
visit the country in the last 11 years I
observe a powerful sentiment in fa
vor of the northerner making his
home
we see
regarding
!y depending on the cotton crop as a
source ot revenue to meet their ob
ligations considerable stock raising,
truck-farming and manufacturing is
being scientifically done. We find the
same open hearted hospitality that
has ever been characteristic of the
older generations in fact our neigh
bors from the north seem to contract
the decease and after a few years res
idence it is Uifficult to distinguish be
tween the two as far as concerns
hospitality.
Just at the present time I have had
an opportunity to size up the political
we live in a country of free speech,
free though and free religious liberty,
guaranteed by tho constitution, but
alt people don't see alike and Mr.
Watson is receiving an aounnanc 01
encouragement. Mr. Roosevelt woum
poll an enormous vote in tne souin
land. However, Judge Hughes will
be acceptable to the majority who
would .have walked under tho Roose
velt banner for he is not without hia
admirers.. The voters comprising a
latere faction or element feel that a
change of politics in the South giving
power to some omer nun wo jjuov
dominant party of that section would
result in great and beneficial good.
Under the past rule the politicians
have been able without strong opposi
tion to continue to follow along one
line of policies which has led them in
to a kind of political rut. With an
other faction Mr. Hughes is much
preferable to either Roosevelt or Wif
son. This class of voters are what
will be known as a pro-German ele
ment which will play an important
part; not alone because they are Ger
mans; but because they are opposed
as far as they are personally con
cerned to their attitude; and feel that
Hughes will be more harmonious to
their ideas.
In fact I am out of politics never
was very strongly inclined but feel
confident that Mr. Hughes will be the
next President of the United States.
I am an admirer of Mr. Wilson but I
feel that he is too strongly opposed
and can't combat the force of such
epithets, as, inefficiency, seclusive
ness, watchful-waiting, war-tax and
no war, failure to pass the rural cred
its bill so long till many are impa
tiijnt: also the disposition made of
the Panama Canal, our relations with
Colombia and the attitude the present
administration has taken on the war.
The farmers of the south seem to
think that he is responsible for the
cost of living being higher than it has
been m 87. years, or a great number
of them do. Whether a man is guilty
or not the people always place the
blame. They feel tnat ne was eiecteu.
in part to lower the high prices
through legislation;, and that we as a
people have no right to pay war
prices when we are not at war.
Tho Socialists are gaining a foot
hold in the South which will . also
months ago when Mrs. Dyal and
were down there. The farmers re
reived a fair price for their cotton
last year. The crops this season are
fm. i mmt Tinrt verv backward and
the estimates of production are far
below an average. In fact all
through the country in almost every
section where I have traveled the
crop outlook is gloomy.

situation, it being a presidential year iarBest truss and elastic goods house
anu not one lo ue pusseu uy wiwioui,
iiwious attention being given to the
man that is in the White
house at
present, together with Mr. Hughes
and also Allen Benson. Mir. Wilson
will run well in the South as all Dem
ocrats do, but not so well as four
years ago unless some rapid change
should develop in his policies; he has
strong opponents to his policies
among some very strong and influen
tial Democrats, some who will prefer
Judfje Hughes any time rather than
a continuation of our Mexican or Eu
ropean attitude. Among those who
are antagonistic and are publicly de
nouncing him i3 the Hon. Thomas E.
Watson. . He possesses the ability to
convince and lead a great number of
voters to comprehend and follow his
opinions.
He is mixing a great deal of re
ligious persecution in his fight against
Mr. Wilson which I think is shameful
and out of place when we realize that

GREATER THAN A KING.
The Old Misaisaippl Rfver Pilot Wii
Law Unto Himeal
la that early day to be a pilot was to,
be "greater than a king." Tho Missis
sippi river pilot was a law unto him
self there was uone above lilm. Ills
direction of the bout was absolute; be
could start or lay up when he those;
he could pass a landing regardless of
business there, consulting nobody, uot
even the captnln; he could take the ,
boat Into what seemed certain destruc
tion, If be had Uiat mind, and the cap
tain was obliged to stand by, helpless
and silent, for the law was with the
pilot in everything.
Furthermore, the pilot was a gentle
man. His work was clean and physic
ally light It ended the instant the
boat was tied to the landing and did
not begin again until It was ready to
back iuto the stream; also for those
days hU salary was princely the vice
president ot the United States did pot
receive more. As for prestige, the Mis
sissippi pilot, perched high In his glass
Inclosure, fashionably dressed and com
manding all below him, was the most
conspicuous and showy, the most ob
served and envied creature In the
world.
No wonder Sum Clemens, with bis
love of the river and his boyish fond
ness for honors, should aspire to that
stately rank. Even at twenty-one he
was still just a boy as Indeed he was
till bis death and we may Imagine
bow elated be was, starting up the
great river 'as a real apprentice pilot
wno in a year or two womu smuu ub
the wheel, es bis chief was now stand
ing, a monarch with a splendid Income
and all the great river packed away

In Other Ways, Too, the ErJiWorm le
a Curious Creature
Midnight is tho favorite play hour for
earthworms. To catch a glimpse of
them in the daytime you'll have to dig
In the earth, which is their home, or
watch for them after a heavy rain,
when they can be found on top of the
ground. But go out any warm night
with a lantern, He closo to the ground
on a lawn or terrace, anil you'll prob
ably see them In abundance.
Probably you've regarded tho earth
worm merely as to good Ush bait and
have never taken tho trouble -to learn
his habits. When he's prowling around
at night he's usually enjoying a feast
on decaying., leaves, grasses or animal
matter. Before daylight lies back in
tho ground, purrowlug his way In
search of more food. Ills alliuenlary
canal extends from one tip of his body
to the other, so It's little wonder he's
always hungry.
. lie has neither enrs nor eyes, yet
he's sensitive to light, und he knows
when night comes just ns other crea
tures with eyes. Another Interesting
fact is his method of laying eggs. He
grows a band around his body like a
belt. In which be deposits the eggs.
Then he gradually works his way
through this belt until he slips it off,
when It closes up and forms a capsule
to protect the eggs until they are
batched.
Vegetable growers sometimes regard
the earthworm as a nuisance. They
should be thankful, however, . that
those of North America are not so large
as those in South Africa, where there
are earthworms four and five feet long
and as thick as a mun's finger. Phila

How Plants Remajn Upright.
If a flowerpot is laid ou ltd side the
stalk of the plant growing in it gradu
ally curves upward until it resumes
the vertical position. This Is called
geotroplc curvature, and the question
is by wbat means tho plant is stimu
lated to change Its direction of growth.
One theory avers that movable starch
grains in the plant cells fall to the
lower side as the position is changed
and by their pressure influence the
mechanism of growth.
The Ink That Homer Ueed.
Ink of various hues was used by the
ancient Romans, that of a purple tint
being considered tho exclusive fluid
for the execution of all royal writings,
as it was distinctively the royal color.
It Is said that Homer's works were
written In letters of gold on a roll 120
feet in length, formed of tho intestines
of serpents, but we are left in Ignor
ance as to the method of preparing
this ink.
Badly Balanced.
A witty Frenchman wrote at the
commencement of this century a very
interesting and amusing book bearing
the title, "Los Agrcmeus et les Cha
grins des Mariages." In this work the
first four pages are devoted to the
"agremens" (Joys) and tho remaining
350 to the "chagrins" (sorrows).
