Mr.. Lazarus CLASH in the Pan" Card
Torn to Pieces.
Hon. L. p. Padgett spoke to a
good sized crowd at the stock yards
Saturday night. He made an ear
nest and eloquent speech for the
Reform party, but the most impOr-
tant part of his address was the
swering of "A little circular issued
by D. Lazarus, headed "A Flash in
the Pan"
He read the ordinance which
came up before the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen on June Z, 1894, and
for which Mr.. Lazarus voted. This
was an ordinance to repeal an ordi-
nance passed June 10, 1888. This
being the only ordinance on the
statute book that ever authorized
the establishment of the Public
School system of Columbia, and,
had the ordinance for which Mr.
Lazarus voted passed. not only
would the Board of Education have
been abolished, but the entire pub
! lie school system of the city. ir
Mr.. Lazarus in his circular, SAID
that his purpose was to abolish the
Board of Education, and that the
prime cause of complaint was tina
an account had been sent i'm 20
K'by the Board of Education, bu
the Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee refused to audit it because
lit was not itemized. Whef
it came in itemized it was founC
that they had allowed forty cents
for brooms which sold for twenty
and thirty cents for coal oil which
sold for twenty cents.

trouble to look up this account

MUNICIPAL POLITICAL CAULDRON.

presented and urged to run, and not
men who nominated them selves.
The candidates On the other side
were clever men-some of them.
But how were they nominated; how
did these particular men happen to
get together on the same card. and
how did his friend, the candidate
for Mayor, get hold of that card?
Who dolt those cards, anyway?
The opposition side were endeavor-
ing to shift the issue to various things,
but, talk all they please, the old
question will come back-it is the
saloon element against the moral
element.
Up to 1927 there was no restriction
against the liquor traffic, but public
opinion saw the effects of the evil
and demanded that certain restric-
tions be placed about it. The first
step taken was to prohibit its sale
within mile of any church; next ii
was ordered that it should not be
sold to minors; then it was demand
ed that the saloon-keepers should
keep orderly houses and that no
gambling should be carried on in
conjunction with them; finally the
-four mile law was enacted; SO
great had grown the evil that pub.
lie opinion said 1t should not be sold
except in towns and cities where it
could be bought under the sur.
Vigilance of the police. BY this
law, the sale of whiskey was re-
stricted in Maury county to one
place, and in several counties in the
state it could not be sold at all
Consequently, every man and wo
man in Maury county and The
adjoining counties has an interest
in this election.
When each saloon keeper in Co.
lumbia took out his license, hi
solemnly swore that he would re-
port to the grand jury every viola
ton of the law that might take place
in his house. "Of course,,n he said

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
All Sellers of Cigars will Have to Pa y
Privilege Tax.

All Sellers of Cigars will Have to Pa y
Privilege Tax.
Wednesday the Supreme Court,
sitting at Knoxville, handed down
decision that will prove very impor-
tant to the State Treasury. 1t was
in the case of the Knoxville Cigar
Company VS.. w. r. Cooper, Clerk.
The question involved was the liza
bility to separate privilege tax of
merchants selling cigars as a side
line. 1t will be remembered that
Comptroller II lrris mainland that
under the revenue bill passed by the
Legislature traffic in cigars could
not be conducted under general
merchants license. He so in
structed the revenue officials
throughout the State. Suit was in
stituted at once. The lower court
sustained the Comptroller, and now
the Supreme Court has done like
wise. This, of course, finally de-
termines the matter. 1t is esti
mated that the additional revenue
from this source will amount to
$4,000 u year. Such an increase
will be decidedly acceptable at this
time.-Nashville Sun.

FRANKLIN ELECTION.


But Few Votes Cast and a Lawsuit May
Follow.
FRANKLIN, Oct. 3I.-The munich
pal election held here Saturday
passed off quietly, with very little
interest taken. Only l19 votes were
cast, while the usual vote is some-
thing over 500, Mayor James w.
Harrison and all of the old board
were reelected, the Mayor and the
City Marshal holding the election
over the protest ofthe Election Com
missioners. aN,e o. rtT
The Commissioners did not hold
any electiong being unable to secure
judges, but will probably contest the
election in court and in that way
settle the question that has caused
the conflict between them and the
city officials as to the Australian
ballot system applying to the city
elections.

De NEOrgan's Great Discovery While
Exploring in Europe.

From the Chicago Post.
WAS Adam a Chnaman?" was asked a
Chicago University professor to-day in re-
ferring to the sensational declaration of
the French archaeologist, De Morgan that
this was undoubtedly the fact
YES" was the answer land so was he
a Hebrew and a German. In fact, the
word Adam is merely the Hebrew word for
man."
Archaeologists and Psychologists at the
university are not at all interested in the
theory of the Chinese origin of the civili-
cation of Egypt. Prof. Robert Harper
said De Morgan was a good excavator
and keeper of museum collections, but
that his conclusions on archaeological sub
jects were not to be accepted as author
ity.
This is not linguistic question, and is
not exactly In my line" said he, "but my
opinion is, though l have not seen his
last book, that the theory is all nom
sense"
DIR. James II. Breasted OF the university,
one of the few American students of Egyp-
tology, was asked about the statements Of
De Morgan and gave little credence to
them.

Origines," said he, but have sent for it,

excavator, and he frankly admits that he
knows nothing of hieroglyphcs and ac-
knowledges his handicap. OF archaeology
