reach the city. Their. they buy and pay
more for the same Rrticle than they
would he charged at home. Much OF
this is thoughtlessness. but il hurts just
the same. 1t takes the legitimate
trade that belongs TO Columbia ont of
Columbia. and it hurts Columbia Just
that much.
The ladies are worse about il than
the men. They frequently get on the
tain for no other purpose than TO 20
to Nashville fol- a days shopping; and
the only satisfaction they have is in
paying more for their clothes: they
don't look whit better dressed than
the LADIES who buy their gowns and
their wraps. their shoes and their hats
here. Nashville has no better dress
makers or millineIs than Columbia.
We say that without the fear of sue
cessful contradiction. You cannot buy
any prettieI shoes in Nashville than
you can buy here. and you cannot buy
them as cheap
Columbia merchants are ehterprising
and progressive. They bring on
astonishingly large and well selected
and handsome stocks of goods. Nine
times out of ten anyone who will try
can be pleased here. The tenth time
why not let your Columbia merchant
and friend order what you want?
They are always glad to do it. Why
run off to Nashville or write to st. /
Louis or New York? He can buy
whatever you want cheaper than you
Can, and sell it to you at just what
you would have to pay for it. Why
not let him, rather than the foreign
merchant, make that little profit off of
you?
This Fall try Columbia first. Don't
60 elsewhere until you have looked
Columbia over. You will find. in
almost any line of business, several
splendid stocks to select from. If your
home merchants havn't the thing you
want, and can't get 1t for you, then
get it for Yourself Bnt give the home
merchant chance to sell you. Keep
as much of your money at home as you
ian, and do that much at least to help
ouIld up Columbia.

THE IDLE RICH.

Rev. Newell Dwight Hills. who
occupies the pulpit of the late MI.
Beecher's church at Brooklyn, n. Y,
recently administered a stinging re-
buke to the idle and luxurious rich OF
that great metropolis. He contrasts
the city life with country life, and
points out the advantage that the boys
of the country enjoy. He says:
The hoy who is nourisbed in the
city, who all his life has breathed only
the tainted air of the city and has been
cTamped by his surroundings. has no
chance. 1t Is the boy who has been
reared far from the completely of city
life that does things. Here a man
loses his individuality. The men who
will make themelves know forty years
hence are now husking corn in the
country.
1.-THE real preachers are those whose
work is done in the country. / am a
man who spends his time mixing tonics
to try to get up an appetite In you who
are gorged to the point of gluttony.
Here you ere eating many kinds of
foods, pouring wines down your
Threats. saturating yourselves with
all kinds of ease and luxury, and then
preparing to die out of life, when God
has put you here for something better.
You are not happy, but in seven
days ! could make you happy. Organize
the resources of life on the interest
of the poor and weak, and for misery
you will have happiness. for seltishness
that corrodes. you Will have a BLADE
that flashes more and more, and then
you will know real luxuIy-the luxury
OF service.
Commenting on the above, Mr.. Bryan
in The Commoner says:
"A Daniel come to Judgment He
is talking TO the men who stand at the
stead of recognizing life as an oppor-
tunity for doing good, too many OF
them look upon life only as means of
accumulatlng-not what they need for |
happiness and comfort. but an amount |
that makes them weary to carry it.
Their expenditures expand with their
income. and those expenditures are
generally selfish and destructive OF real
enjoyment. They ruin their stomschs
with excessive food; they sap their
strength with dissipation and they wear
themselves out trying to clutch that illu
i've thing called happiness, which,
While it can not be overtaken by those
Who pursue it, comes silently and
lnbidden to those who forget them
elves in the discharge of duty and in
he service Of their fellows.
''Dr. Hills sermon is but another
violence of moral awakening that is
destined to substitute the sentiment of
BROTHERHOOD for the sensual and soul
estroying ideas that have followed in
be wake of material prosperity"

sidered 10 the light of mere personal

upon Law. 1t was a violent express
sion of an individuals contempt
of Court and Court authority. 1t was

or his duty on the Bench. It was a
wanton insult to Law, a fragrant, un-
provoked breach of the public peace
against the peace and dignity of the
State. And If the courts OF the land
should allow such acts to go unrebuked,
the people at large would soon grow to
have no more respect for.Law and Court
authority than Mr.. Cecil seems to
have.
Under the law, to assault a udge any,
where for any ruling from the Bench or
other official act, is a CONTEMPT OF
Court. And Mr.. Cecil should be taught

citizen in this free country does not
license the individual to treat with con-
tempt the Courts OF he land.

In Illinos the Roosevelt vote of 1904
exceeded the Mckinley vote of 1900,
by 33. 600; while the Parker vote is
10, 900 less than the Bryan vote.
In Indiana SO out of 90 counties gave
Roosevelt II, 900 less than they gave

In Iowa the Republicans gain about

HELP BUILD UP COLUMBIA

Columbia is not altogether what it
ought to be. Columbia never will be
altogether what it ought tc be until
the people get to be what they ought
to be-and then the millennium will
come.
But Columbia IS by nature one of the
most favored spots on earth-in climate
and soil and resources, and we Column
bans can make it what we want it to
be; and from spirit of loyalty to
our home town, as well as from purely
business motives selfish motives, if
you please. we should all do what we
can to help build up Columbia. Most
of us do. bat some of US do not.
In looking for investments, why not
look at home? Columbia and Maury
countians have close IN to a million
dollars on deposit in the banks of this
town and county. Why not invest
quarter OF that. OF even tenth of that
in several small manufactures? In
stead, how often do we find local
money seeking investments elsewhere.
Ono reason of that is we have no
organized body to study the situation
and suggest to others how to make
their investments. We make no effort
along that line. We are not dong
anything for Columbia.
Another thing we can all DOVE
can support.eac other. Some Colum-
bia people take a Nashville paper who
DOM take their own town daily. They
ought to be ashamed of themselves.
Some people send piles of job work off

THANKSGIVING sERnoHErrE


When Jesus dwelt IN mortal clay.
What were his works. from day to day.
But miracles of power and grace.
That spread SALVATION through our
racer
Teach us. o Lord. TO keep in view
Thy pattern. and thy steps pursue;
Let aims bestoIed. let kindness done.
Be witnessed by each rolling sun.
That man may last. but never lives.
Who much receives but nothing
gives;
Whom none can love. whom none can
thank,
Creations blot, creations blank.
But he who marks from day to day.
In generous acts his radiant way.
TIeads the same path the Saviour trod.
The path to glory and to God

FOR A vA0kANCY LAW.
!, Nashville American says:


''When the Legislature meets ont

and we commend it to the representa-
tives from Maury. They are entirely
capable of formulating the bill; it is
as much their business as anybody s
business; and they can do their con-
stituents no better service than to
secure the passage of comprehensive.
stringent law against vagrancy.
The law should not be directed
against any man on account of his
color. There are more vagrant
negroes than whites, but there are
vagrant whites, and the lay should be
made comprehensive enough to cover
oil cases. And the point to be espec-
tally emphasized, is the enforcement
clause. Circuit Judges should be
required to make special mention of it
In their charges. Grand juries should
be given inquisitorial power. No
prosecutor should be necessary.
Everything should be done to make
the law easy of enforcement, and then

police officers who fail to enforce it.

should he subject to impeachment for
that failure. 1t ought to be understood
that the law Is made to be obeyed or

enforce it must give place to those
who can. For unless it Is u very
stringent law, If it has any milk and
cider In it. 1t will not be worth the
paper 1t Is written upon.
Columbia has a vagrant law. AMI all
that is needed here is officers who will
execute its laws. All these protest. onal
