JONESBORO FOLKS
 DON'T LIKE CHIEF
Say Chief Turner is Not Vigor- ous Enough in the Prescott
 tion of Blind Tiger Cases.

There is some dissatisfaction among the more radical temper ance element of the city in re- gard to the present organization of the police force, says the Jones' boro Sun. There is no objection to Mayor Nichols but they don't like Chief Turner. They believe that the prosecution of the blind tigers is not vigorous enough.
 Chief Turner says that he has reduced the liquor traffic to as low a standard as possible. That it will be sold to some extent and there is no help for it. The po- lice say that they have reduced the business to a status where there is no profit in it, and that the blind tiger people say there is not; that what they want and are hoping for is a chance to rum wide open, as in some of the for mer halcyon days.
 They intimate, say the police, l that they could afford to pay3 some big fines if this were thef case. But what the other folksI want is a red-hot, sweeping, dras1 tic campaign against the blindl tigers that would make the|f fur fly to such an extent that tha air would be full of striped hairl

 Three sides of a house were perfect; the fourth was as bad as the three were good.
 Explanation - It rained the night before the fourth side was painted, and the painters didn't wait for the wood to dry.
 What is done in such case? the dealer who sold the paint considers it fair to do. We leave it to him. He may not do exactly what we should do if we were there, but we are not there. The best we can do is to cave it to him.

Comes from room where some sick woman has,
In fear she might disturb another's rest,
Thus tried to still the sound Perhaps the white
Is hecked with red there in the silent night!
Thou hast accomplished thy unselhsh thought,
Oh, gentle sufferer, were my soul at ease;
The sound the sensual ear had scarcely caught,
Again the thread of slumber might seize;
But passing by the body, it doth knock
At the souls ear, that vibrates with the shock.
Not Gods own Word, unless that be Gods word,
Nor Sutra text or Shinto creed could 90
Wake me to mine unworthiness, as heard
Through night that sound suppressed andlow;
Not volumes Of reproof in priestly dress
Could shame me so of mine own selhshness!
There be deeds done in Heavens name to catch
The vulgar eye-sky- towering charities;
And yet meseems that they do hardly match
The sweet unconscious charity Of this!
And pondering DER it. as holy thing,

The primacy of Pennsylvania in the coal and
steel industry is seriously threatened by Alabama,
and experts have declared that that State is bound
to become the center of the steel manufacture OF
the world 1t has all essential materials for making
iron and steel in proximity to each other, and In
quantities practically inexhaustible The possible
ties of the Alabama deposits in this direction have
led experts to say that when they fully exploited
they will change the nature of the surrounding
country. Another Pittsburg will grow up in the
South, and Alabama may become another Pennsyl-
vania.
The growth of cotton factories in the South has
added an industrial element to the previous exclu-
sively agricultural aspect of this section and has
contributed prolific source of riches to country
already blessed with fertile fields and profitable
crops And the development of the cotton manu-
featuring industries is only in its infancy. If we
further increase the productveness of the South by
locating the center of the worlds steel industry in
it's heart there is no telling to what height of pros
perity it may reach.
No section of the country to-day presents more
promising field of potential development than the
South. 1t is blessed with all manner of natural
riches, much as yet untouched by the transmitting
hand of time Only on its agricultural side has it
been developed on extensive scale, and it has
given splendid returns in spite of occasional
superabundant crop with its attending low price.
It's mineral riches and manufacturing possb ilities
have been practically ignored.
The eyes of the steel world are now turned toward
the great State of Alabama, where it is obvious a
tremendous iron and steel territory is to grow up.
Already great corporations are buying up the rich
ore lands, and working them will be a matter of
comparatively few years. And it will not be done
on small scale. ''Those who have followed with
amazement the phenomenal evolution of this in
dustry in Alabama says one authority, "are pre-
pared for abreadth of ultimate development difficult
of comprehension by the less Initiated element"
