ing a lawyer of unusual ability,
afterward chief justice of the Su-
preme Court in reconstruction
days.
Frank Moses solicited, and by
force of his official position obtain
ed the privilege of hosting the
South Carolina flag over Fort
Sumter after It's evacuation by the
Federal forces in 1861. He was
eager to be spectacular and promi-
nent, and wore one of the finest
uniforms in the Confederate army.
He was dainty rascal in some re-
spects and usually avoided active
service, perhaps not because he de-
spised exertion or personal incon-
venience of any kind, and craved
the neighborhood OF vice. So he
was gratifying his passion for that,
he was not at all particular as to
his company or surroundings, al
though he loved ease and luxury
as fervently as a cat.
! Probably he was the first of the
very few young men of the South
who deserted his people and race
and went over to the radicals at
the close of the war. So far as
anybody could discover, he had
no principles of any kind, political
or otherwise. He never was cruel
in his disposition, but probably if
he had been in Nero's place he
would have out-Neroed Nero, ex-
cept he never would have been
faithful to any woman three
months at a time. He liked excite.
ment, however, when there was no
mess or labor connected with it;
and, odoubt after he had exhaust
ed the gambling hells of Rome
would have roasted a few Chris
tians or other unpleasant persons
and given some score of citizens
especially such as had won money
of him-to the wild beasts as
matter Of amusement and interest
without turning a moral hair or
considering that what he was do
ing might possibly be wrong or
disgraceful.
He threw himself into the satur-
MALTA OF vice, corruption, and de-
bauChery. which came with the
first reconstruction government,
as tired man throws himself into
a warm bath. He gloried and
luXuriated in it, and cared nothing
how much public shame and hate
he drew upon himself. He, was
elected a circuit Judge, and sold
decisions and used his office for
the promotion of vice as carelessly
and as much as matter of course
as if it was the natural and accus-
toned order of things. Then he
was elected adjutant general and a
member of the State legislature,
in which latter body he promptly
assumed charge and control of the
negro members, who were fascinat-
ed by having a native-bor white
man with the appearance, tame,
and manners of a gentleman CON
sort with them. Black or white,
male or female, were all the same
to Frank Moses. He led his gang
of cornheld hands and village NIT
lattoes upon the treasury in a
series of grand and historic
charges. They looted right and
left and never ceased while loot re-
NAMED. Moses himself seemed to
steal for the very love of stealing
and of riotous, indecent and expen-
sive living. He saved no money

rlan rIade in the Image of God.

Genesis is essentially pictorial.
1t is radiant panorama. For the
end Intended, its scenic method
could not have been surpassed.
The motive of the book is to re-
veal the reality, personality, and
power of God; to show the mater
ial universe as an expression of
His mind and a creation of His
will; to make plain to him, mans
own constitution and his relation
to nature and to God. For the
the purpose to be conserved the
form is singularly effective. When
all is said and done by way of crit
icism, the book will still command
respect. Theories concerning
authorship and inspiration may be
altered or discarded, but Genesis
will never lose its hold upon the
universal human heart.
The most remarkable content of
the book is the thought of God in
the creation of man. The radiant
enunciation of this is the rarest
jewel in this casket of gems. 1t
is of practical and priceless value.
With dramatic vividness the
Father Of the World is pictured as
coming TO a halt in His creative
work. In the last of the great and
long epochs, He pauses as if to
seperate and give special distinc-
ton to what He is now about to
do. The fact that it is the last in
order indicates that it is pre-emi-
nent and climactical. The change
in the creative formula is also
significant. The "let be" used
seven times is now changed to
'let US make"-it is the plural
of majesty"
1t is as if God is solomnly an
nouncing to Himself His intention
of creating a vicar who shall visi-
bly, represent Himself upon the
earth, A being is now to be
made who shall be like God One
with whom he can commune at
pleasure, and one who by his in
telligence and will shall bring ev-
erything, animate and inanimate,
to its best estate. 1t pleases Him
to create man in dualism: male
and female creates He them. He
ordains their multiplication and
commissions them to have do
minion. With the solicitude of
father He indicates the kind,
quality, and abundance of food
prepared for them. And now for
the seventh time God spreads His
hands in benediction over all His
works. In the seventh epoch
there is cessation from creative
work, and God Himself gives an
an object lesson and example of
respite from toll.

NEW SCHEME
Will Build a $4,000 Hotel
and a Huge
Lake.
WE HAVE A CHANCE.
Buy a Lot and Have a Sum.
mer Home of Your
Own.

The business and enterprise Of the
citizens of our near neighbor, Penn
broke, havelalmost become proverb
No place anywhere has more pluck
and get-up to the square inch than
Pembroke. The people have the
faculty of knowing a good thing
when they see it, and the means and
nerve of jumping in with both feet
and getting out of it all that is to be
had.
During the past few months a
company has been organized to build
a large summer hotel at Salubria
Springs, just one mile this side of
Pembroke. The company now owns
all the land around the famous
springs and had their property sur
veyed and divided into building lots
which, they have put upon the mar
ket, and enough lots have already
been sold to justify the company in
erecting handsome hotel of forty
rooms.
The lots surrounding the land on
which the hotel is to be built have
been put at the unusually low rate
of SIS each, and each purchaser,
when he receives his deed, will be
given one share ($25) of the pre-
ferred stock of the hotel building.
No one can ask a fairer deal than
this. The object of the company in
putting the price so extremely low
is to induce people. wherever they
may be, to become joint owners of
the hotel, and being thus interested,
will use their influence to make Sa-
lubria Springs a famous watering
place.
AS to the quantity of water avail
able, we are authorized to say that
the flow of water is more than suffi-
Gent to supply 5000 people day
with all they might desire to use.
There are about SO springs, all of
more or less value as to medicinal
qualities. The company has planned
to construct a lake 1000 feet long
and 300 feet wide. The location of
the hotel will be in beautiful grove
of forest trees. The ground is
almost as level as a floor, is only
eight miles from Hopkinsville, and
it will be a pleasant drive over a |
pike from this city. In fact, it is
not an inch too far from us for a |
park, and it is most probable that |

The Saloons Were Knocked
Out by a Majority of
254 Votes.
AN EXCITING ELECTION.
Scenes Such as Never Before
Attended an Election in
That City.

GAINESVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 26. The
election held here to-day to decide
whether or not the saloons shall be
abolished. resulted in a victory for
the anti-saloon people by majority
OF 254 votes. The vote was heavy
and such an election was never be-
fore seen in the city. Early in the
morning 1000 men, women and
children paraded the streets, waving
banners and singing inspiring songs.
Prayer-meetings were held in rooms
near the polling places, the church
bells rang and the most intense in
terest was manifested. The most
prominent citizens took part in the
hight against the saloons. The total
vote was: Drys, S11; vets, 557.
The election passed off very quiet
lily.
The workers had wonderful effect.
and many men were moved to tears
as the hundreds of little children
passed along the streets singing and
cheering for temperance. A tent
was erected on the Public Square
near the polling place, and coffee
and sandwiches were served to all
voters, both white and colored. dur
ing the entire day. At the court
house lunch was also served.
Sheriff Johns. of Nashville. made
two speeches to large crowds in the
interest of temperance, and did great
work. The saloon men were very
active, however, and succeeded in
getting out one of the largest color
ed votes ever recorded in the city.
Both sides had challengers at the
polls, and many votes were thrown
out. Prominent men and women
worked faithfully at the polls all day.
and prayers were offered for the
success of 1.-The case in the court
house, were hundreds of ladies had
assembled.

LUSK AGAIN AFTER
 BURNETT'S PLACE
WILL MAKE RACE FOR CONGRESS IN SEVENTH DISTRICT-ETO- WAH MAN DISCUSSES THE SIT LAYTON IN NORTH ALABAMA.

That Senator John A. Lusk will again oppose Congressman Burnett in the Seventh district, seems to be an open secret in the territory chiefly affected.
 The vote of the district Is something less than 10000, and Senator Lusk was de- feated last contest by 3999 votes. Friends of the senator in Birmingham yesterday believed that he will be the winner for representative in the Sixtieth Congress.
 R. F. Henry, we'll known attorney of Etowah county, registered in Birming- ham yesterday, was authority for the statement that the race would be entered by Senator Lusk, and he predicted very close and exciting finish.
 "The people of the Seventh" he said, seem full of appreciation of the excel lent work done this year in the state senate by Senator Lusk, and there are many who believe that he will make a splendid representative in the national house. At any rate. it's an open secret that Lusk is grooming himself for the track

NEGRO SUSPECT
 TURNED LOOSE
Witnesses Testify That Emery Potts Is Not the Man Who Killed
 Burnett.

Emery Potts. the negro who was sus- pected of the murder of Conductor Bur nett on a South Ensley street car Sep tember :. and who was lodged in the Jef- ferson county jail the afternoon of the crime. was released yesterday. A num- Der of the passengers on the car visited the jail and testified that the- negro who stabbed Conductor Burnett was of an en- tirely different appearance from Potts.
 A reward of 5000 has been offered by the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company for the detection and conviction of the murderer of MT Bur nett. and it is thought the murderer will soon be brought to justice. Two brothers of the murdered man have been in the city several days looking Into the evi- dence, and though they refuse to divulge the results of their investigation, 1t Is thought that they and the detective eni- ployed by them have uncovered facts that will very probably lead to an arrest of several suspects within the next few days

CITY CLOCK AGAIN
 REFUSES ID BUDCE
Has Acted QueerIy During the
 Mayors Absence
PERSUASION INEFFECTIVE
1t Stopped Still Never to Go Again When the Municipal Code Was Adopted-Acted Peculiarly
 Last Summer.

The custodian of the city hall climbed down onf of his ladder on the landing of the great stone steps and looked up al the big, round face of the self-windine clock. There was disgust and anger in his eyes. but the clock hands set al twenty-five minutes to six, bore a far away expression, with it's mouth turned down, as if in agony.
 The custodian gave it up For five weeks he has been wrestling with that timepiece, and for the life of him he can not make it run. It just won't He might coax 1t into a few hours ticking, but 1t invariably raises it's hands, lets them fall gives a big yawn, and relapses into sleep.
 The trouble began when Mayor Ward left the city for a trip through Europe. However. the custodian whispered into its ear that the Mayor was enjoying him self. and acting Mayor Copeland could keep city affairs straight. so the clock eheered up, and ran for several days.
 It was on the night when the municipal code was adopted, and John L. Parker was elected president that the contrary tlmepleee stopped suddenly at S:3O D. m, turned loose it's main gear, clogged up it's balance wheel and choked with wrath.
 It's only movement since that time was the other day when John W. O'Neill passed down the marble steps, and just as he stood under the clock that sage dropped one hand down and pointed at him with a wink at the elevator boy.
 Time and again the city officials have complained that the clock is out of run ming order, time and aagin experts have tried to start it off, but not one can un- derstand the cause of the long silence.
 Huh" giggled the elevator boy yester day. "Jests well quit talkin' bout maxim dot clock go. Hits sot in hits ways. Don't tell nobody, but dat clock hain't goln ter move til desc revolutions is ober Hits CT waitn' til Marse George gifts homel'
 It will be remembered that when Mayor Ward spent two weeks in Montgomery last summer the city hall clock refused to budge. At that time City Engineer Kendrlck decided that all Birmingham could not move the stubborn mule.

HAD TWO HUSBANDS
 AND NOW HAS NONE
JUDGE FEAGIN USES WISDOM OF SOLOMON IN DECIDING WHICH WAS THE RIGHT MAN-WIFE IS RELEASED.

When 1t came time yesterday morning for Judge Feagin to decide whether J. J. Yaw or J. B. Majors was the wife of Annie Yaw he used the judgment of Solomon, and brought peace to the trou- bled minds of the three defendants.
 1t will be remembered that Solomon soon decided the quarrel between the two mothers by offering to cut the baby in two When Judge Feagin offered such services, Mir Majors said he didn't want her In fact, he explained that after marrying her seven years ago. he ran away just to get rid of her.
 While Monday night Annie had two husba nds. both of whom claimed her. now she has no husband at all The judge decided that Majors is her legal husband, but he won't have her.
 She was turned loose, after promising to get a divorce immediately from Ma jors. and to marry Yaw soon as she is reea sed.
 It seems that after she parted with Majors five years ago. she heard he was dead. and married Yaw. Both weddings were solemnized in the Jefferson county court house, and 1t was not until yester- day that the three happened to meet on Norton's corner
