The attention Of the voters Of
Benton County is directed to the
announcement Of the above named
gentleman as a candidate for the
responsible position Of Judge Of
the county court. Though he has
never held county Office, Tom Nor
ris is known by probably every yo-
ter in the county. He served one
sterm as magistrate, and the manner
in which he discharged his duties,
and his record as a pains-taking
official and as a citizen are too we'll
known to the voters Of the county
to make any comment upou our
part necessary; that he has an abid-
ing place in the popular heart has
been repeatedly exemplifed. Tom
Morris has been Democrat all his
life, and is always ready to go into
the thickest of the fight for the
principles Of Democracy. He has
served on both the State and the
County Democratic committees
and has contributed valuable sup
port to the cause of his party. His
candidacy is subject to the will o.
the Democratic party, and should
he be elected we do not hesitate Il
say that he is in every way worthy
of the confidence of the people anl
will discharge the duties Of county
Judge in a manner that will refec
credit to himself and honor to tn,
county court.

DEPLoREs STREET FAIR.
MT Murphy's Sermon of Sunday Morning-Seeks to Correct
 Evil Influences.

The Rev. Edgar G. Murphy preached to the congregation of St Johns Church Sunday morning on The Street Fair and Montgomerys Progress" MT. Murphy spoke without notes, and it was impossi- hle for him on Monday to furnish an ah- stract of his remarks. He gives The Ad- Vcrtiser for this morning a brief synopsis of his leading points, as follows:
 Montgomery is to have another Street Fair. It is not called Street Fair but a Fall Festival; yet, as a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, so something that Is not by any means rose will by another name. be quite as bad.
 Now l am not impugning motives or discussing individuals, for motives vary and individuals differ; but I am going to talk very frankly about a subject l shall discuss d specific enterprise, in the light of the known and established Conse- uuences of that enterprise to the best interests of this community Nor do think that at this lat" hour we can stop

 of its cOntagion.

A MAN ON woMEN's CLUES.


 Not long since at meeting of the League for Political Education in New York a debate on "Is Club Life offering to woman a desirable opportunity for social and intellectual development" Many women spoke tiuently or the affir- native side. but one man, Robert Erskine Ely of Cambridge. caused consternation in his speech in the negative. He said:
 Club life for women has come to have n technical meaning" said MT. Ely. or ganizations like the Red Cross Society, the patriotic societies, and the League for Political Education do not meansto come under the head of women's clubs. These organizations have specific work, men may belong to them. and they would not be admitted to the federations of women clubs, The woman's club is composed exclusively of women, and generally Of one class of women. They are women who have no particular occup ation, wo- men who have certain amount of leisure, and they are not the women who have distinguished themselves in art literature or philanthropy. Women of this latter class would not have the time or strength if they had the inclination, to join such organizations.
 "One reason why the club is not good for women is that it is not socially en- larging. They meet in it women with the same interests as themselves, and for the best kind of enlargement there should be a meeting of people of different sta- tions in life and different points of view. From an intellectual standpoint the club is not beneficial. Its members are naturally not experts, and subjects for discussion are given out without regard toi the writer. Naturally in the prepara- ct ho tn elementary histories and the encyclopedia, and members of the club spend time in listening to matter of this nSnd when they might be reading the valuable essays in which our reviews of today abound.
 Another bad effect is that the club gives women a false standard. The wo- men poets, artists, and philanthropists. the women we delight to honor, have not come from the women's clubs. Such wo- men feel that they can spend their time better in other ways. or treat the club with silent contempt. There is a call for women to do a larger public service. There is work for them in the educational system. in domestic science, where drudgery may be reduced to minimum and much of the work should be done by machine and there is the municipal housekeeping. which is only the domestic housekeeping on larger scale. This is work for women. but they cannot do 1t if their time and strength are given to other things"
 When he had finished one prominent club woman Is quoted as saying: Did he really mean what he said? Why it vast true"
 Another wanted to know if they must vote on clubs, as they are or as they might be. This was Mrs, Nathan, Presi- dent of the Consumers League, and when told that she must vote on clubs as they are she refused to vote at all.
 In spite of all that the man had said the vote stood 25 in the affirmative to IS in the negative.

Governor Jelks yesterday announced the appointment of Hon. Pey ton NorVcll of Jasper to be Judge of the Walker CoUn- ty Law and Equity Court at Jasper to succeed the late Judge N. E. Appling.

Acuff, q leading Jasper lawyer, and J. Gus Pcarcc bf Carbon Hill. MT. Pearce ts son of Captain Jim Pearce who rcprcse nted Marion County in the Constitutional Con vcntiOn.
 The influence of this Walker County delegation was supplemented bv several other gntlemen who called to see the Governor. In fact there was q constant stream of visitors to the private olllce or Governor Jelks until the appointment was announced in the afternoon. Among oth- CT influential endorscrs of the successful applicant was Hon. Thomas l." SowGlL State Auditor. who Is member CT the J9sper bar Mir. S0well returned Nester- day morning from Walker County, where he has been speaking for the new Consti- tuition. and went to see the doNernoT III behalf of his friend.
 The unsuccessful applicant for th1 va cant iudscship, D. A. McGreeor' IS a well known member of the Jasper bar. He was ard,ntlv supported bv Hon. Tom l.. Long. member of the logislatnre and also a delegate to the recent Constitu- tional Convention from Walker. State Senator J. !. Ray also came to Mont Comery to see the Governor in the inter est of MT. McGregOr. Neither of these gentlemen was in Montgomery yesterday.
 MT NorvelL the newly appointed Judge, is member of the Jasper bar but he also has mining interests in Jasper and Walk CT counties.
