PEONAGE WOULD
 BE FURTHERED
Declares Legislator Who Says He Will Oppose Bill Introduced by Representative Powell, of
 Jefferson.

Asserting that the spirit and op- eration of the bill presented in the house by Representative Powell, of this county, for the enforcement of contracts is directly aimed at the furtherance of peonage among members of tthe negro race, fight will be made against it when the bill is taken up for final passage.
 That he oill borders closely in providing Imprisonment for debt is the belief of Representative Quinn of Garland county, who says:
 "The measure violates the free dom of contract and reverses the rule of law that a man is presumed to be innocent until his guilt is es- tablished. It provides penalties for violation of contract, and this means that the innocent may be made to suffer with the guilty, for violation of contract with intent to defraud is based upon the act of breach, which will be evidence of guilt under it's terms. Circum- stances might be such that an in- nocent man could not explain breach of contract satisfactorily to a court, in which instance there would be left nothing but for the court to instruct for verdict against the accused.
 ''The bill may not, under the strict letter, provide for imprison- ment for debt, but it borders close ly on such a condition. that I do not regard it as wise legislation. It is stated that a similar measure has stood the test of the courts and been found constitutional. Tech nically it might be so, but the lines are so closely drawn that much in- justice might be done the ignorant under it's provisions.

DID NOT WANT TO BUY,
The Great Musician Had No Use for
 His Production.

A great tenor had been singing for some hours ints a photograph.
 The photograph" he said, "is a wonderful thing. It almost realizes the wish of the Scottish poet, the wish that we might see ourselves as others see us. We can now, at least, hear ourselves, a thing impossible before. The photograph teaches us many val uable lessons. When I was in the army. before I realized the capabilities of my voice, I played the flute. A photograph salesman brought a phonograph to my quarters and tried to sell 1t to me on the instalment plan. l was undecided. Finally the mah took out a blank cylinder.
 See he said, rather reluctantly, here Is a blank cylinder. You may make record on it, then we will run 1t off and you shall hear yourself It's a costly favor l am doing you, but it will show you what fine instrument this is
 T was delighted
 "Tll get my fute.' said. I'll play flute solo
 Well, played my best into the ma chine. It seemed to me that I had never combined before such feeling with such accuracy. l was more than pleased with myself Then the man put in the cylinder, and the music be- gan to issue forth I drowned.
 Is that me-? I said.
 "'Yes. sir said the man.
 Really me, just as I played?'
 Precisely. sir, precisely. And now said he, do you want to buy the phonograph?'
 No said I; want to sell the flute"
