Tillman VS.. Sam Jones.

OtntTdud 1OulACis
We said last week that Senator
Tlllman was an honest man. Here is
a story that comes from Columbia
that is proof strong as Holy Writ OF
the fact. When the treasurer tender
ed Tillman a check for $500 in pay
ment of his speech at the Chautauqua,
the Senator refused to accept 1t, say
ing his speech was not copper. u
came here" the Senator is reported
to have said, ito deliver my chautau-
qua lecture on the race question.
The management would not hear to
it but insisted that l speak on the
railroad question or the tariff. l was
not prepared to speak on either issue.
Having been on the train two days
and nights. l was dirty and tired.
The sweltering tent blinded me and
/ made a failure. Having earned
nothing, accept nothing" Behold
an honest man. Others would have
said, at was not my fault that the
speech did not come up to expecta-
tions; l wanted to deliver the Grafton
l came to speak, but they would not
let me. Hence I'll take the money
Fancy Sam p. Jones turning down
$500 bscause he made failure-no you
can't fancy such a thing of the irrev-
erend Sammy, its too improbable to
support fancy. But rugged old Ben
Tillman is an honest man, and honest
men are very scare, that is conseien'
tious honest men-there are plenty Of

THE AUTOMOBILE.
Col. Frank Buffum Arranging to
Establish Motor Car Lines
Through Missouri,

The automobile promises to become
a great convenience as well as a plea
sure to those who enjoy riding. 1t is
predicted that automobiles to large
extent will take the place of electric
car lines. With good roads auto
mobiles lines could be established
Throughout Missouri, which would
prove great convenience. Referring
to this matter the Bowling Green
Times says: "Col. Frank Buffum, of
Louisiana, was here Monday trying to
interest our people In an automobile
line from Eolia via Louisiana to
Ashley--a distance of 80 miles, the
vehicle to start from Eolia In the
morning and make the round trip
daily. The auto-car will carry 20 pas
sengers, but will be reduced to II, leay'
ing room for baggage and light freight
A powerful engine will drive the car
and speed of fifteen miles an houI
can be made easily. Let us have the
enterprise.
The Middletown Chips adds;
Col. Buffum is the very man We
want to see in Middletown. He can
get an automobile line from here Il
Wellsville or Buell., and can get ot
only the passenger trade, but ma ]
express and freight, too, IL he can han
die 1t. OF course there are grave
roads between those three Pike coun
ty towns, but road of that kint
could be easily and cheaply built from
Middletown to the railroad. Thi
may be Middletown's solution Of thu
railroad" problem.

Town Ordinance Against Dress Trains
Forces Wearers to Lift Them.

BERLIN, Aug. 30 The women OF
the little town OF Nordhausen have
risen in revolt against the order of
the municipal authorities forbidding
them for sanitary reasons to wear
dresses with trains.
All dresses which touch the ground
come within the definition Of "trains,'
and the police have received orders
strickly TO enforce the new decree. A
fine of 81 is the penalty for the first Of
fense, $3.50 for the second, and a days
imprisonment for the third.
The women who are resisting the
law have scored one point by obtain
ing the opinion of eminent legal au
thorities to the effect that the Tow
Council has partially exceeded its
rights In issueing this draconic decree
1t appears that the Council has
right to prevent women from trailing
their dresses along the ground, bul
cannot prevent them from wearing
dresses which would touch the ground
II not carried In the hand,
The council then replied that WON
en- can wear skirts yards in length il
they like, but they must hold them
up. One inch Of skirt trailing on the
ground makes the wearer liable to ar
rest and punishment.
A league of resistance has been for
med and the members have pledged
themselves to wear long skirts and tt
defy the authorities. They declare
that they will pay the fines, and ever

The seml-weekly papers throughout

back to weeklies. This is a wise idea.
In this way a weekly can be made
a much better newspaper and the pa
irons will be better pleased, The next
move made b. frst.class country
weeklies 10 Missouri will be to ad.
vance the subscription rate to at least
Sl.5O per year. The papers can be
made better and the proprietors make
