JOHAN JOHANSON USED A
REVOLVER; SHOT PARTNER
Men Had Been Drinking and We're in Resort West of the
City...Johanson Arrested on Charge Of Assault....
Hearing Continued TO Jan. 8.

While giving strenuous demon
stration of the reckless use of fire
arms last night, in a resort in the
west end of the city, Johan Johan-
son, common laborer, shot his part
ner, Charles Hill, in the back
between the shoulders with a bullet
fred from a 5S-callibre revolver, and
that Hill was not instantly killed
was probably due to the fact that
the weapon from which the bullet
was fired was of a poor make, and
also that Hill was wearing a heavy
coat and three thick shirts.
Johanson and Hill, who had been
working in the camps of John
Moberg near Laporte, came in last
evening from the camps. They
drank together considerably during
the evening, and at late hour went
to resort in the swamps in the west
end of the city.
Hill, the man who was shot,
states that about l a. M, while he
was dancing in the house, Johan,
son pulled a revolver from his
pocket and began firing promis.
ciously around the room, and that
one of the bullets struck him
Child between the shoulders, nea1
the right side.
Hill did not realize that he was
very seriously hurt, but Immediately
skiddoed" from the premises and
came over town, stopping near the
city hall, where he began to vel
Justify for help. c.. w. Walker, who
is custodian of the city hall a
night, heard Hill yelling and wen

Citations, and those who have
emerged from them after their
college time is over, than patriotism
ever stirs in the breasts of most
people.
This is a spirit which comes
naturally to the youth who has
reached the junction of boyhood and
manhood or travelled a little beyond.
He has the maturity to realize and
accept the serious things, he sees
irrresistably the ridiculous and
comical things, and he siezes both
with the life that only youth con-
tributes.
Those students who are mixed
up" in the many branches of student
activities and do the most work for
college organizations, are the ones
who receive in return the greatest
amount of affection for their Alma
Mater" The football men love
their college, not only because it was
there that they made some of their
fastest friendships and formed some
of their most lasting associations,
but because they fought for her
honor and fame. So it is with the
debators, the members of the
Dramatic Club, and those of the
Y. NC. A. The men OF the Glee
and Mandolin Club do not know
how much they really love their
college and the fellowship which
they have found there until they all
get off together for their annual trip
and the time has come for them to
show what they have been working
at together for the first four months
of the yeat.

Brinkman Hotel Not Closed.

The Hotel Brinkman has not
been closed. The dining room
and kitchen have been cut out,
but the sixty rooms which are in
the hotel will be conducted as here
tofore on the European plan, with
or without hot or cold-water baths
and attendants, on request.
An article in last evenings Pio-

had been discontinued, but such is
not the case. The room will be con-
Quoted, as formerly; and the Brink

An Alabama D. A. X.
 And The Golden Rod.

The meeting in Montgomery in 1889, bore fruit even before the Farmers Convention had made its decision. The deliberation in Montgomery were dis cussed in New York, with the result that New York promptly adopted the Golden Rod as the flower for her schools.
 In 1892 the question was raised in Congress, and the suggestions of the Farmers Convention at Montgomery were gone over. but without result.
 In 1895 Mrs. Mcclellan again used every influence possible to gain from the national Congress a formal recog- milton of her flower. She ably dis cussed the charms and merits of all Its rivals, yet triumphantly declared mo other could compare" Her sem timents are exquisitely voiced in the following poem by W. M Shields:
 Coiumbia's Flower. Upon day. in merry May,
 Among the buds of spring, Our bonny lass Columbia,
 Went lightly wandering And first she plucked a wind flower. ..rI hen graVely shook her head: lTo E paie you are. too frail you are. Next she found a shady nook .,, Where purple violets grew, T .rss9 never ap,iss spised a flower" she said. How neat you are, how sweet you are
 You modest little dear! But oh. how diffident! I guess
 Id better leave you here" And So she roamed from flower to
 But carried none away; One was too grave to suit her taste,
 Another was too gay. The daisy and the buttercup
 Smiled in her face in vain: TOO trim you are, too Drim VOu arAw
 She laughed in her disdain. Nor would she heed one lovely weed That through the summer grows; She tossed aside the purple flag, =, And flouted the wild rose: She was so hard to please indeed
 It seemed shed never find This little lass Columbia,
 blossom to her mind. But one day through the autumn fields
 With himble fet she troc; AndWdale ,. and height were, all bedight Then merrily she clapped her hands,
 This is the thing for me! Type of the gold my broad lands hold
 To which the world is iree!" "oh. mine you are. for fine you are.
 And beautiful and strong! You afe the flower that shall be set
 To sermon and to Bong!' Then through the land Columbia,
 The fatreSt child of God. Went smiling withsher golden hair
 All crowned with golden rod!
 While no formal action has ever been taken by the government, the fact re- mains that we Aemricans grow to- a thing-which Is our way of acknowI- edging evolution-and here. today, we have accepted music of Northern girl. whose theme was supplied by our own gifted Alabama woman! And once a year Columbia crowns herself with Golden Rod.

AMERICAN AND ENGLISH "ADs."

The Englishman is too ready to look
upon advertising as mere adjunct to
his business, and therefore to treat it
with scant attention; the American
realizes that it is an essential, either
making himself a master of it's fine
arts or employing the best expert ad
vice that he can buy. The Englishman
believes that he can obtain the service
of first class advertising man for the
salary of chief clerk; the American
will pay price which would be start
ling if offered to the manager of a
business in this country. The English
man is slipshod; the American spends
time, thought and money over every
detail. The Englishman aims at what
he thinks will prove good enough; the
American is not content with any
thing that he believes can be bettered.
The American leaves no stone un-
turned in order to spend his advertis-
ing allotment to the best advantage
he means to make every cent tell. The
Englishman too frequently works at
haphazard, many pounds of his eX-
penditure failing to tell, the blame be-
ing laid by him on advertising instead
of on the advertisements. The Amer
lean is ever seeking to discover new
ways of applying old means, new
methods of making his advertisements
more attractive and more compelling

EARLY PRINTERS ADVERTISING

The earliest printers were by no
means ignorant OF the gentle art Of
advertiseme~t Some Of them certainly
employed travellers, even as publishers
Of the present day employ them, and
from the Innings of old bindings there
have been un1arthed specimens of the
Latin placards these men took with
them, announcing the names Of the
books they had to sell, praising the
beauty and accuracy with which they
were printed and promising the pur-
chaser who should come IN the inn
where they were for sale that he
should find bonum venditorem, an easy
salesman. CaXton himself is known to
have issued one brief advertisement
announcing his edition of the Sarum
Directorium, or "Pye," and adding the
prayer "supphco stet cedula," please
do not tear down the bill, 80 that we
may guess that his agents posted II
up where they could find an appro-
pirate space, without obtaining any
formal leave. But printers who wished
to become Known neem to have found

THE FAIRBANKS BOON

The close political friends Of Vice
President Fairbanks have inflated that
distinguished statesman's presidential
boom and have sent It soaring sky
ward
A most fitting point in the United
states. Chicago. was selected for the
event. And the climax Of fitness was
reached by the association of the event
with st. Patricks day.
The vice president, like General
Scott when the latter was presi-
DENTAL candidate in 1852. cloves the
rich Irish brogue and the sweet Ger
man accent''-when the bee buzzes in
the bonnet.
The report of the booming affair
states that "the greatest enthusiasm
prevailed during the meeting, and a
member Of the committee who had
prepared to tell of the virtues of st.
Patrick Joined in the demonstration
for the Indianian."
From that incident It may be inferred
that "honors were easy" between st.
Patrick and the vice president as sub
jects of admiration.
But the "blarney" of the doughty
old hero of Lundy's Lane and -Iexico"
failed to yield votes on election day in
1852. Instead of reaching the presi-
dency by a tidal wave vote. as he
expected to do, Gen. Scott was the
worst beaten man who ever ran for the
office on the ticket of one of the two
great parties.
1t would be well for the vice-presi-
dent and his boomers to study the
presidential campaigns of 1S4S and 1852
The Whig party, father of the present
Republican party, elected Gen. Taylor
to the presidency in 1S4S by a substan-
tial majority of electoral votes. Four
years later. however, Gen. Scott met
political Waterloo with a bare AZ cleo
toral votes in a total of 296
But this reference to political history
Is not intended to cause discourage |
ment in the mind of any admirer of the
vice president. The Herald earnestly |
wishes success to the boom that is now |
soaring over Chicago, and hopes that
It may culminate in the vice presidents
by the G. o. P.
With Charles w. Fairbanks as the
Republican candidate, the presidential
election of 1908 would be a parallel to
he one in 1852.
