An interesting Phase OF the temper
ance question is touched upon in the
annual report Of the New York state
commission Of pensions, which asks If
some wiser methods than those that
row prevail cannot be deYised for deal
Ing with drunkenness In IT'S relation to
crime. The commission shows that in
the last year nearly one-third Of the
commitments to penitentiaries, jails and
other corrective institutions were for
this offense, while it estimates that
fully one-half Of the convictions in the
criminal courts result from excessive
use Of liquor. 1t says:
Many Of these offenders are laboFing
men having families depending upon them
for support and except when under the
influence of liquor are honest and indus
tIious providing for their families When
such man is fined and imprisoned, his
family suffers rather than himself.
The problem is an old one and has
been discussed from so many view
points for so many years and without
success that the outlook for it's solution
appears almost hopeless. The impris-
onment of habitual drunkards, as now
provided by law, does not seem to ma
terially check the evil and in many in
stances causes much suffering and dis
tress on the part of those dependent
upon the offenders. AS the report says:
There is a large distinction between tho
man who cannot control his appetite for
drink and the man who willfully and ma
uciously commits an offense against the
person or property Of another. The law
should recognize this distinction. The
present practice Of sending him to jail or
10 penitentiary, branded as a criminal,
to consort with thieves, only depraves and
discourages him and at the same time in
dicts punishment and privation upon his
family. Some wiser method Of dealing
with this onense should be ascertained
and adopted
There IS much sound sense in the
suggestion that men and women CON-
mitted for drunkenness should not be
classed as criminals and obliged to live
In the prisons with persons who have
been guilty of greater offensa- But
would change in the place or manner
Of detention effect reform? The stig.
ma Of being locked up would still re.
main, and, besides, incarceration OF
poor men, upon whom others depend fol
q living, would in nowise, al the report
Gays, relieve their families Of hardships
Nor would the simple fining Of such
men suffice, and this would also entail
distress upon dependents.
It is apparent that for the protection
Of society there must be some punish
ment of the habitual drinker who
makes a public nuisance Of himself OF
:; violates the laws, but what to do witt
him seems to be an unsolvable prob
lem. 1t is feared that the commission'i
question will long remain unanswered
or at least without a practical answer.

Selma, June I.-(Special )-Today Con- tractor Manley who was at work on the city hall and fire department headquar- ters, was warned officially by the city to get off the premises or be charged with trespass. Yesterday at noon the ten days limit allowed after notice to resume work on the building expired and the city, after consultation with the city attorney and Architect Chamberlain, decided to take charge of the unfinished buildings and complete them.
 A representative of the company in which MT. Manley was bonded was pres company as construed by the city He was willing if the city authorities thought they were still secured by the bond to take the contract and complete the build Ing. The city however, declared that it has not considered the bond binding since March 31, the time when the build ing was to have been finished. The truth is the city has felt itself perfectly safe since the continuation of work after the first payment. It still has s1OO0O of the bonds in hand of the contract price of $25.000 and 1t will certainly not require this much to complete the structure
 Claims to the amount of SLIGO have been filed against MT. Manley for material and these will probably be satisfied as the contract is such that should MT. Maniey not finish the building and the city un- dertakes the job any residue within the contract price will go to Mir. Manley.
 Work has been suspended on the build ing for several weeks. MT. Manley, so 1t is stated. claims that the notice to resume work was not legal and he de- clares his willingness to complete the structure.

MUSIC A GREAT EDUCATOR
Pianos and Organs on Easy Terms.-.Any District Can Have an Instrument. Take Advantage
 of the Sale
 Economy

Now, that the Special School Tax has carried, there is more money, and the best use to which it should be put is to have a piano or organ in every school.
 The educational value of music IS so great that all progressive towns and cities make it part their course and pay large salaries to music teach CTS. Jefferson County has just begun to teach music in her schools. Other schools will follow their progressive lead. Nothing gives more pleasure and educational value than an instrument in the school. Now is the time to buy on account of the great reductions by which s25 to S100 is saved on single instrument. It is not necessary that you pay all down this year, as our long time payment plan will reach into next year.
 We have sold pianos in every part of Alabama and in states adjoining. The price is marked plainly on each instrument, and you can buy by mail as satisfactory as if you had come in person.

FIRE THREATENS
 TOWN OF HEFLIN
SEVERAL BUSINESS HOUSES ARE
 DESTROYED AND HEROIC EF- FORTS OF CITIZENS PREVENT GREATER LOSS OF PROPERTY.

Hefiin, June 1.-(Special.) .)-Hefiin was visited by most destructive fire this morning. About o'clock the glare of flames shot up from the roof of Sanders Bros store, and such headway had the devouring element gained that all efforts to check 1t were futile. The building and entire contents were soon a mass of ruins.
 A strong wind In the meantime had spread the flames to the roof of Reeves & Sanders store, and despite the vigorous efforts of many men who were now bat ting against the fire, the building was abandoned to the flames and attention turned to saving as much of the stock as possible. Soon the livery stables and shops of W. A. Hubbard flashed into flames, allowing time only for the re- moval of horses and most of the ve- hicles
 The business house and immense stock of Adkins 6 Owens were greatly jeopar- dized, when the wind shifted to the east. and for time 1t was feared that the entire east side of town would be de- stroyed. Fortunately, however, a Hull in the wind, together with the heroic efforts of many citizens. confined the destruc- tion to the buildings already mentioned.
 This morning reveals the streets filled with goods thrown here and there in the nasty effort to get them to place of safety.
 The loss is about 5000, partly covered by insurance.
 Lum Gibbs was seriously injured by falling timbers. He is reported resting we'll this morning.
