Gas
Engines

How many people, when buy
ing gas engines stop to consider
complications There are few.
If they would only investigate
the different makes before decid-
ing on the purchase there would
be fewer repair shops over the
land. A spring here and a gear
there, and loaded down with a lot
of inventions, most people say,
"That must be a good engine. I"
Well, they buy it. In a little
while, to keep it going, they COM
mence to tinker, and the more
time and money spent the more
she gets out of whack. Then
they realize that it takes an ex-
pert to do anything with it. Now
if they had only bought a simple
engine-one that would not run
because it did not have a lot OF
fixtures-they could have avoided
the expense and delay.
Our advice to you is not to
overlook the "Stoner" when you
are thinking of buying an engine
as we can prove to you that it il
the simplest engine built, and W.
feel satisfied that it will give you
but very little trouble. Repair
shops all hate the "Stoner,' as Il
gives them but little work.

AMERICANS LOOK UPON THEM AS
 VAST MYSTERIES.
Rule of the Rod Banished and a Bet. ter Understanding Is the
 Result.

Intelligent Americans today look up- on their children as vast mysteries to be studied and watched and guided per haps, but not constrained. The child is no longer merely a pet, a creature to be loved and taught, the foremost pride of its parents. It has now become also the medium for innumerable ex- periments in child training. says An
 So general has this mania for child culture become that advanced moth CTS" who were few years ago only to be found in such centres of thought as Boston. are now known even in re- mote villages All true American mothers nowadays attend lectures on child training. child study, child culture and child phychology. Childhood is so studied and classified as result of all these efforts that the old boundaries separating the naughty from the good and the dull from the clever have been swept entirely away. All naughty children are abnormal" children who tell untruths are imaginative those who prefer music to mathematics mathematics to grammar, books to play or play to books, or show any strong Individuality of soul, mind or person are "atypical"
 Children are becoming fashionable in America. This is not only because they are a centre of intellectual interest, but American life has become so expensive | especially in our great cities. that ehil'

MISS RHODES IS INDICTED.
Charged With the Murder of Her BrOth-
 er-in-Law, s. M. Stewart.


 Elba. Oct S.-(Special. )-Circuit Court has been in session this week, the new judge of this circuit, Hon. H. A. Pearce, presiding. The civil docket has been up. a number of important cases being tried.
 The grand jury made It's final report yesterday, returning thirty-eight in- dictments. This Is a much larger num- Der than has been found in this county in a numbmer of years.
 Among the indictments was one against Miss Annie Rhodes, charging murder in the first degree. Miss Rhodes killed her brother-in-law, S. M Stewart at the Elba baseball grounds in July. Her trial has been set for next Thursday. There are a number of other murder trials that may come up next week. and 1t is reasonably certain that several will be tried.
 Solicitor R. H. Parks is i'll and un- able to attend court, and F. L. Hill of Dothan is acting special solicitor.
 Work has begun on a handsome brick building which will be occupied by Tucker & Harp as a drug store. It will have plate glass front and hard wood show cases and counters, and will be an ornament to the town.
 Times are good. and Elba's merchants are doing a splendid business. Not since the war have the farmers of Coffee been in so good a financial con dition.

It is a true picture of the American father, invariably indulgent especlal- ly to his daughters, invariably over worked and almost unknown to his chli dren. The mother goes with them through life every step of the way The father of the American child, on the other hand. works for it with as great a devotion as any father in the world, but he permits his wife to usurp the place in the childs regard that should be partly bis.
 With all the fads and theories which are now being tried on the American child it is nevertheless a healthier and a better hammered child than the na- tional product of several years ago. Athletics for children have gone side by side with psychology in modern child training, and on the whole have more than outweighted any harm re- sulting from ove:-intensive child cult ure.

dren are a luxury rather than other.

dren are a luxury rather than other wise.
 Methods of punishment are among the most debated points Tn child train ing in American households. The good old days when the cato -nine-t tails and the slipper bore a part in the cult ure of every child are gone. There are rumors. however. that they are to re- turn again. and that the rod of ferule will soon reign anew in many Ameri- can households.
 For the last few years every form of corporal punishment has been banish- ed from advanced" American nurseries. Government by love has been the order of these realms. Parents and teachers have sat at the feet of young America patiently waiting for it to do as it is told. It has been a slow and some times a ridiculous process. and yet, on the whole 1t seems to have developed a better form of discipline and batter understanding between parents and child than the rod method.
 In the American household the child appears to be the property Of the mother alone. The American father has little to say about the training of his children. He disappears early in the morning. before the child is up or out of its nursery. He returns at | night, when the child is in bed. There is a tlme-worn American joke about the child who asked, Mamma. who is that man who stops with us on Sun 1 day?" Never was a truer jest

Five White Women.
 The cases against the five white wo- men arrested by the police Thursday in a house of i'll fame on Hall Street charged with vagrancy, were not heard in the Recorders Court yesterday after- noon on account of other charges hav- ing been preferred.
 The charge of keeping disreputable house was brought against the women, and they asked through their counsel that the vagrancy cases be continued until Thursday afternoon, when both charges will be heard.
 The women have employed counsel and intend making a test case of the arrests, and City Attorney Rushton has been called into the case by Chief of Police Gerald to give his aid in pros- ecuting the cases.
