REV. F. ]. TYLER
Fires Broadside at Whiskey Voting
Church Members.

Editor Daily Herald Il wish in this
public way to endorse heartily the
editorial in your issue of last week, in
reference to those killings at Mt.
Pleasant recently. Every word of it is
true. And l wish to say further that
every one who aided in any way in
opening the saloons there, or granting
the saloon keepers the privilege of
establishing those murder factories,
are guilty directly or indirectly of the
blood of the murdered.
And what is true of Mt. Pleasant is
equally true of Columbia. If there
were as many Christians IN Columbia
as there are church members, the
saloons would have been driven out of
this town years ago. But it is one
thing to be church member, and quite
another thing to be Christian. Every
Christian is opposed to whiskey bust
ness at all times and under all circum
stances. Not only are they opposed tc
the saloon theoretically, but will rejoice
at the opportunity of fighting it in a
practical way, notwithstanding what
may be the financial benefits coming
from it to any town or any people.
it is lamentable fact that fifty one
per cent of the voters of this com.
munity are church members, and only
one per cent of the voters are in the
whiskey business, and yet the one pei
cent has more power on election days
than the fifty per cent. Why is this
They are simply church members ant
not Christians. will guarantee thai
if an election should be held in this
town for or against whiskey, many so.
called Christians would vote to keeI
the saloons open. Did not many Of
them sign the petition begging the
Mayor to veto the eight o'lcock ordi
nance recently Examine that peti
tion. Now listen You will not fine
On that petition one spirit-flled, soul
saving, church member
am real glad that the fight is on
We are loading our thirteen inch shells

every man show his colors. You will

DAMAGE SUIT
FOR $4,000.
Miss Talitha Church Enters Action
Against r.. d Lochiidge.

Miss Talitha Church, through her at.
torneys, Messrs. j G. Voorhies and Fig
ures d Padgett, entered suit in the Cir
cult Court Saturday against Esq Il. d.
Lochridge, claiming damages to the
amount of $4,000. The declaration in
the case has not yet been filed, but it is
understood that the suit is brought on
account of alleged scandalous reports
circulated against the complainant by
the defendant. Miss Church is the
daughter of Mr. A. b. Church of Car
ter's Creek, and Mr.. Lochridge is we'll
known citizen of that community.
Judge Holding Saturday granted a
divorce to Mrs. Willie Tuck from her
husband, William Tuck, and restored to
her her maiden name.

A MINIATURE CYCLONE.
A Heavy Wind and Hail Storm Does
Much Damage.


A miniature cyclone, accompanied
by heavy fall of hail, passed north
of here Thursday afternoon The
picnicers of the First Methodist Sun
day school, who went to the Figuers
grove at DarK's Mill, were caught in
the storm near the Harrison place,
about three miles out ON the Nashville
pike, and got the full benefit of it !;
all of the party were pretty well
soaked, and some were considerably
frightened The team attached to
one of the hacks containing about
forty small children, were frightened
by the hail peppering them on their
backs and started to run away. The
driver pulled them to the side of
the road and the wagon went into a
ditch and came near capsizing the
party. A buggy driven by Mahlon
Dennis, who had with him two other
children, was blown over and the
horse knocked down by the wind, and
the boys were blown over the
fence into the field, the smallest one
being carried twenty or thirty feet
he was picked up limp and almost
unconscious, but was not seriously
hurt.
Mr.. J. B. Ashton who saw the
effects of the storm along the pike,
says the corn in places was literally
ruined, being beaten to the ground and
torn in shreds.

So Says Capt. Lucas, the Beaumont
Oil Expert.

Capt. A. F. Lucas, the Beaumont,
Texas, oil expert. left Friday morning on
the north bound train, after spending
Thursday in the county and investiga
ting the alleged oil discoveries. He was
not disposed to talk much about what
he bad seen, or the conclusions he had
drawn therefrom. However, he stated
to several parties that he thought the
indications we're good, but that the only
way to find out what we had was to dig
and see.
Capt Lucas is said to be a man oil
much wealth, He has interested him
self in the oil discoveries near New De.
catur, Ala, and has located there to de

THE ELECTRICAL WORLD.

Eastern electric light plants this
summer will be used in the manufac-
lure of ice during the months when
lights are needed.
Aninventorhas recently devised al IL
Illuminating sign which is sunk flush in
the pavement consisting of a large
dead light bearing a sign secured in n
metal ring and u conical reflector, al
the bottom of which is located an in
eandescent light.
IL is proposed to utilize the River
Cellina and part Of the River Pave in
Italy. for the generation of electrical
power for transmission To Venice. The
Cellina is capable of supplying 10000
horse power at u distance of 50 miles.
The Piave scheme offers $4,000 horse
power conducted 80 miles distant and
the amouu could even he increased,
says the Electrical World.
A tree was encircled by n rope some
25 feet from the ground, and il so
CHANGED that an end of the rope stood
out from the bark of the tree 80 that
during the earlier part of a rainstorm
the tree was damp from the top Ia the
o p encircling il. while the lower
portion VAS kept comparatively dry.
The tree was struck by lightning in
this condition. and the lower
part only was damaged. The damage
followed downward n path which the
twist in the fiber of the wood made
easiest.
4 bill has been introduced in the New
York legislature requiring the regis
tration of electricians, says the Flee
trical Review. The bill is in the ma
ture Of n protection against fire. as it
is to prevent incompetent persons from
tampering with electric wires in all
buildings where electricity is used.
The electricians who wire the buildings
are now held responsible for their
work. but they claim that after they

THE COLLECTION or POLL AND ROAD lanes.

If the road laws of Montana should
he revised ut this session of the lcgisla-
tive assembly, as we believe they ought
to be, we think it would he well To pro-
vide that the special road tax should he
collected by the road supervisors of the
several districts. The collection of the
poll tax for the support of the poor
might also be entrusted To- the same Of
icials. There are n large number Of
men in this county liable to these two
special taxes, who do not pay any tax
on property either real or personal.
Such men are largely transient in their
residence and it isa difficult matter for
the assessors tn collect these taxes from
them. But the supervisor in each road
district would have comparatively lit
tie trouble in collecting them from res
idcnts Of his district. Where residents
of the county own property it is safe To
let the special taxes Ia collected in the
manner rs the property tax, but
in other eases there is and always will
he much danger Of considerable loss.
At the last election there were in Fer
gus county more than 100 voters who
east votes. II the entire road and poll
tax were collected from this number il
would amount To more than sll.OOO per
annum. Under the present method q
considerable proportion Of This is lost
to the public every year. This is not
the fault OF The assessor. whom We be-
lievc 10 he diligent in the discharge of
his duties. but the nature of the matter
is such thai much better results might
be- had by making the road supervisors
the collectors of these taxes.
