BROKEN ERICA .BRACS.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man,
of New York, explains some very int
eresting facts about Majors Cement
The multitudes who Use this stand
ard article know that it is many hun-
dred per cent. better than other ce-
ments for which similar claims are
made, but a great many do not know
why. The simple reason is that Mr.
Major uses the best materials eyer
discovered and other manufacturers
do not use them, because they are too
expensive and do not allow large
profits. Mr.. Major tells us that one
of the Elements of his cement costs
ST.. 70 pound, and another costs 81. 10
Il gallon, while large share of the
so-ctlled cements and liquid glue up
on the market are nothing more than
sixteen cent glue, dissolved in water
or citric acid, aud, in some cases, alt
cred slightly in color and Odor by the
addition of cheap and useless mate
rials,
Majors cement retails at fifteen
cents and twenty-five cents bottle,
stitute you can depend upon it that
profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much rs any dealer ought to make on
any cement. And this Is dOubly true
in view of the fact each dealer gets
his share of the benefit of Mr.. NJ aior's
advertising, which now amounts to
over $1,000 q month. throughout the
country. Established in 1916

The Lpceum Theater was filled in
every pSrt-upstairs and down-the
attraction being Yankee Doodle and
Dixie. by the Hon. Alfred and Hon.
Robert Taylor, of Tennessee. In de-
liyering the lecture jointly this season
they have met on the platform for the
first time since, as rival candidates of
the Democratic and Republican par.
ties, they contested the goVernorship
OF Tennessee. Brother Alfred was
most eloquent in his story Of the found
ing and building and present glory OF
the American republic, frequently
evoking the most enthusiastic applause
because of his sweep OF his rhetoric,
the aptness of his thought and the
eagerness Of his manner. Brother
Roberts style was altogether different,
being in somewhat lighter vein, and
his discourse was rather q beautiful
verbal pictures, in which oil the splsn-
doris, memories and entertainments OF
Dixie land, were wildly present.
There was abundance of humorous a.
well as pathetic illustrations, and now
and then old-time plantation songs
were rendered by fine quartette, OF
which ex-Gov. Taylor was q lively
member. He evoked storms of APP
plause many times during his part of
the entertainment. Brother Alfred
was introduced by William b. Moore
and Brother Robert by ex-senator
Lynn. A number of prominent citi.
zens occupied the stage. The "stand.
ing room only" sign was hung out OIL
three floors. The lecture is sure to
win great popular success wherever

Halls Family Pills are the best.
1t may be that some of the people
gathered in Chickering hall last night
felt the sweet tingling of old-time
memories as ex-Gov. Robert L. Tay-
lor, of Tennessee, played upon their
various emotions with pictures of
country life. 1t is certain that good
many knew little about it, but those
who had taken part in quilting parties,
country singing schools, log rollings,
country school exhibitions, of "feld''
school, as the southern phrase has it,
with wild flights of oratory on the part
Of the barefooted boys Of the farm,
laughed till the tears rolled down their
cheeks for the vividness of it all.
Those who had not were riotous with
laughter over what they must have
looked upon as the exaggerated vagar-
les of one who is likely to be graduated
from the school of politics into pro,
fessional humorist.
The topic for the evening was Of
double significance, as usual, with the
brothers. A. A. Taylor talked on the
subject of ''lhe Shovel and the Hoe.
When he had closed his brilliant effor
the ex-Gov appeared with the singers
who accompany him, and began on the
issue involved in "The Fiddle and the
Bow" He feigned seeing dream pic
lures conjured up by master Of the
violin, and these pictures mainly con
centrated about his lifelong southern
home. They led him easily and natur
ally to the word painting, and as Ia
talked in that easy fluent way Of hi
auditors were transported into q new
realm of the humanites. He talked O
everything under the shining sun al
most.
The Ex-Governor branched under til,
inspiration Of the fiddle. lie told, O
the old country school whose curricu
lum called for list Of studies general
ly comprised in zone blue covered ele
mentary spelling book, one stone-bruis,
a sore toe and copy of "Peter Par
ley's Travels. " He described the OLE
school teacher, the country fiddler and
the singing master, giving an exampl,
of the latter's method of leading hi
class which we'll nigh threw his audi
ence into convulsions. After nearl,
two hours it was with difficulty that b,
succeeded in bowling himself out. New
