gists of the present age. His
article, “On. the Tendency of Va
I rieties to Part Indefinitely from
the Original Type,” forced Dar
win to publish his theory of nat
ural selection and “the survival
of the fittest” prematurely. The
i zones for the distribution of an
imal life on the globe, as held
today, were fixed by Wallace in
his “Geographical Distribution
of Animals.”
While agreeing with Darwin
in regard to the origin of spec
ies, Wallace did not agree with
him as to the origin of man, but
held that, while man’s body
might have been evolved from
lower species of animals, a
higher power intervened to be
stow on man his intellect and
spiritual qualities.
He is the great authority on
the natural features of the East
Indies. Socially he was a fol
lower of Robert Owen and Henry
George, and an advocate of the
single tax.
Wallace is one of the group of
most eminent naturalists, like
Lord Kelvin, whose scientific
theories allow a place for God
in the world which he created.

A Great Scientist Gone.
Charles Darwin seems to, many
like a character in ancient his
tory. It was a surprise to them
to read that the man who ad
vanced “natural selection” as a
theory of evolution at the same
time as Darwin died the other
day in London, England.
Alfred Russell Wallace was
one of the most eminent biolo
The Fight On Impure Food.
Slavery existed not because
some men were strong enough
to be masters, but because oth
ers were weak enough to be en
slaved.
Dr. Wiley has a simple little
conundrum. It is this: “Why
do wolves eat sheep?” Is it be
cause the wolves are so wolfish
or because the sheep are so
sheepish? He says it is because
the sheep are sheepish.
Now when the people just
meekly pay out their money for
food products which are adul
terated or impure, is it because
the manufacturers are so avari
cious or because the people are
| so meek ?
It doesn’t matter who started
the “vicious circle”; it is enough
. to know that if the people would
be less meek the manufacturers
would not be tempted to impose
upon them.

and the faulty enforcement of
health laws is one which touch
es the women of the country
very closely. They are the
housekeepers of the land and
deal directly with the physical
1 welfare of their families. 1
If there are enough women
who really want to protect their
families from impure foods the
chances are that sooner or latei
I they will succeed in doing so.
The truth is that there are

terment of the community that

: really make up their minds to
do so.—Memphis News-Scimi

Marion Hackney Dead.
Marion Hackney, one of the
best farmers of Oil Trough bot
tom, died Tuesday night from
several weeks’ illness. The de
ceased is survived by a large
family. The deceased, it is j
said, let a large insurance policy j
run out only four or five days j
ago. The funeral was held at
Surrounded Hill Wednesday.
Shoots Self While Hunting.
Weiner, Nov. 18.—J. 0. Brew-j
er of Jonesboro, while on a duck j
hunt, accidentally shot himself
through the left shoulder this
morning. He started to pull his j
shotgun through the blind behind
which he was hiding and the
hammer struck some obstacle
and the gun was discharged, the
entire load of shot going into
and through his shoulder, tear
ing away the top of it.
Luckily the charge went
through above the shoulder
I blade, and the wound, while
i painful, is merelv a flesh wound,
and unless blood poisoning sets
!up should heal rapidly. He re
I fused medical aid and went back

| Scott’s Sanity Questioned.
Jonesboro. Nov. 18.—The ju
I rv in the Scott murder case, was
completed yesterday afternoon,
and this being completed, the
court took a recess until this
morning at 9 o’clock. The at
torneys in the case, asked that
the jury be kept together and in
charge of a deputy sheriff.
This morning immediately af
ter the completion of the call of
the docket, the state began tak
ing testimony which is still in
i progress at the time of going to
! press. The remainder of the
day will likely be consumed in
hearing testimony, there being
a large number of witnesses for
uotn tne state ana tne aeiense.
Attorneys Sloan, Hawthorne
and Roleson for the defense,
had the defendant examined last
night by a Commission of phy
cians, consisting of Drs. C. M.
and P. \V. Lutterloh, C. H. Wil
lett and others relative to the
sanity of the defendant. They
will likely put these physicians
on tin stand during the progress
of the trial. The case is being
watched with much interest, and
the attorneys on either side, are
making a hard fight. Hon. M.
M. Stuckey of Newport, is as
sisting in the prosecution.
