COURT IN HOUSTON.
Heavy Docket For Monday, But Few
 Serious Cases.

Dothan. March 30-- Special. The spring term of the Circuit Court will convene here Monday. April IS. This term promises to be very busy one. as nearly 300 cases have been docketed up to date, and it is thought that one or two more will be placed on the docket before court meets.
 It is interesting to note, that out of this unusually large number of law breakers. only very few--possibly three or four--are of serious nature. the rest being a long list of misde- meanors of small consequence.
 Circuit Clerk Brown of Houston County. says this is the largest docket since the bankrupt act was passed some i've or six years ago, before Houston was made a county.

WAGES AND THE TARIFF.

The textile workers Of Philadcl-
phia have determined to demand
an increase of wages in order 10
make up in part Tor the fifty-fivc
per cent. increase in the cost of
living. If the advance is conceded
the Woolen trust and the Carpet
trust and other textile combina-
tions will have TO advance the
price of their products or at least
will have occasicl for making an
advance.
For every advance in wages there
is a corresponding increase in
the price of commodities which will
further advance the cost of living ;
so the endless chain Of increased
wages and prices will continue un-
til the consumers can stand the
pressure no longer and buy less and
the chain breaks.
Those with incomes that are fix
cd and cannot be increased as pric-
es advance are already feeling the
tension Of tho endless chain and are
oconomiz'ng accordingly. lsll

1T PAYS TO BE DECENT

Young man. Why not grow to
manhood with honor and credit in
stead of a staia upon your charac-
ter? 1t is just Il, easy. 1t Is al
ways easier to be n man than TO be
rowdy. Cigurets and gambling
and whisky have had many wres-
tie with boys before you came on
the scene, and they have never yet
been thrown. Don't get the idea
into your head that you can turn
the trick.
If you don't want to be decent
for yourself, be decent for others.
There IS one hea,J whose sorrows
should appeal to You. There is one
who has faced everything for your
sake. one who has to bear the cross
for your foolishness. You don 7
want your trad through this world
stained with mothers tears. The
boy who turns brazen face to a
mothers grief never gets far far
on the road TO happiness. When
he gets little older you find his
name on the police docket Of var
ious cities, little later the dark
shadows Of stone walls loom up
across his pathway. Without hon
or, home or friends.
'Tis a sad picture. but it is paint
ed every day in every town in this
road land. The pathway of the
transgressor is one of rocks and
thorns. When you bruise your feet
the world will laugh at you just
as you laughed at your mothers
appeals. There IS only one system
for boy TO follow. BE decent.
1t always pays dividends. Kansas

The annual report of City Engi-
noer George E. Dwyer furnishes
some very interesting reading for
the citizen who is interested in The
growth of Marion, and for the tax
payer who sometimes wonders what
becomes Of all the money he pays
into the city treasury and who is
unable to understand why the tax
rate is so high. 1t also furnishes
every booster for the city with
some cold facts which cannot but
look good to everp person who visits
the cii,.
Marion has become famous for
her many substantial improvements,
and the report shows that during
the last year tie pace, which was
set some years ago, has been NAM
tanned. During the year nice
amount of paving was laid, and the
beauty of all is that this work was
done and the money expended where
il was needed ana where the prop
erty owners wanted the improve
ments. Nothing adds more to the
aittractiveness of d city than good
pavings and good sidewalks. Marion
can boast of more first class street
paving than any city of its size in
ohio. Let the god work go on, but
we have had enough deals like the
South Prospect street paving reso-
luton.
The improvement, in sidewalks is
more marked than i'll paving. Ma
rion has an exceptionally long
stretch of sandstone sidewalks. Im-
proyements of this nature are evel
more important than pavings anu
the sooner every foot of p.ank walk
IS replaced with stone the better for
.ne city.
The improvement which should
appeal strongest to the citizen,
since it affects directly the health
OF the inhabitants. is the extension
of the sanitary sewer system. This
Is an improvement which cannot be
seen but its elects are very no.
ticeable. Every foot Of sanitary
sewer lessons the liability to infec-
tlous diseases. No money is lost by
being expended in extending the
sewer system.
An increase Of 51,379.SS square
yards of paving, and repairs which
amount to 1,2S7.75 square yards;
nine miles Of sandstone sidewalk
and one and onc.iourth miles OF
sanitary sewer, is not slow growth
in city improvements, and total
of 20.7 m:ies Of street paving, 23.S
miles Of sewers and COS miles of
sidewalk is not n poor
inducement to offer capitalists who
consider locating factories in Ma
ron.

IAN effort is to be made TO get
all of the chairmen of all state dem
oeratic committees together in New
York city for the purpose of talk
ing over political affairs and lay
ing the foundation for work which
in the future will prove more effec-
tive for the party and its candid
ates. This is one 1f the most SEN
sible moves which has been propos-
ed by. the democrats in recent years,
but the move should not stop with
the meeting of state chairmen.
Each state chairman should return
and summon all Of the county
chairmen in his state for a con-
ference, and each county chairman
should call the precinct committee
men. 1t il with the precinct COM
mitteemen that the very best re-
suits can be secured for they are
the men who are nearest in touch
with the voters. Tho meeting which
is planned for New York can dis
cirss candidates and outline the
planks which shal enter into the
platform and it cannot be denied
that these factors are all important.
Democracy needs a solid platform
and she needs coed, honest, broad
minded candidates, for without
these she cannot win. She also
needs an organization which will be
at work all of the time and which
will. on election day, see that the
vote is gotten to the polls.
Marion County needs such an
organization; she needs a machine.

the Tennessee. Meanwhile Douglas
and McCool lay wounded on the
deck, no one venturing to go to their
assistance. The three sailors who
had resisted maintained their
ground. although their comrades
urged them to escape from the ship,
Before they could make up their
mind, however. the marines were on
the deck. The rest of the "jackies'
made u momentary show of interfer-
ing, but the sight of drawn bayonets
cooled their ardor. Some one had al
SO turned in riot call from the
navy yard and the police from the
Thirty-fourth District, located two
miles away, hurried down in pa
troll wagon. Lieutenant Fields had
them ordered off the ship, declaring
they were intruding as the disturb
ance happened on Government prop
erty. The police waited on shore.
The wounded men were taken below
but the ships surgeon ordered that

The ambulance from the Methodist
Hospital arrived, but Fields refused
TO permit the removal unless Doug
las be taken to the Navy Hospital
nearly five miles distant.
The ambulance surgeon pointed out
that the Methodist Hospital was on
ly a mile away, and delay would
be fatal. Fields was obdurate, and
appealed 10 the Patrol Sergeant, but
under the circumstances, the latter
declared he was not justified In
making such a long journey. After
an hours wrangling the Naval Hos
pital ambulance arrived. and Doug
las, very weak, was carried away.
Fields then began an investigation.
He isued orders that no one be glv-
en- shore leave. He also probed the
intended brig delivery, but would
give out no information.
