NEGRO CARRIER
 CAUSES DILEMMA
PEOPLE ON TENNESSEE ROUTE TAKE DOWN BOXES WHEN A NEGRO IS APPOINTED, AND THE ROUTE IS DISCONTINUED.


 Washington. May S.-(Special.)-The fourth assistant postmaster general said today he did not know what would be done in the case of the negro Bill Banks, who has applied for reinstatement as rural delivery carrier on route run ming out of Springfield, Tenn When the negro was appointed the patrons of the line, the white ones at ieas;, took down their boxes and the department ordered the route abolished. This was several months ago.
 The patrons have petitioned the depart ment for the establishment of the line and the request is about to be granted. Meanwhile the negro carrier had sent in his resignation, but as soon as he learned that the line was about to be re-estab- lished he promptly applied for relnstste- ment.
 There~is no doubt that If the darky is reappointed the patrons will again take down their boxes, and the service will be discontinued again.

NO OPPOSITION TO BONDS


 Ensley, May S.-(speeial)-The election today to determine whether or not the city should issue bonds for the purpose of building and improving the public schools and to increase the present sew craze and sanitary facilities passed off without excitement. Only 1OS votes were cast during the entire day. This Is hard ly one-sixth of the entire vote of the city, compared with the number of bal lots boiled during the last election h February. Very few of the laborng men voted. Perhaps this was due to the fact, that none of them cared to lose the time from work and that there was no opposi- tion to the bond ieJues.
 The bonds, s55, Oy0 for storm and sani- tary sewers and $35,0OO for school build ings. and extensions. will be prepared and disposed of immediately, and work on the contemplated improvements begun as soon thereafter as practicable.
 The returns will be canvassed by the City Council next Thursday night and the official result declared
 The officers of the election today were R. K. Martin, w. W. Shortridge and F. E. Butcher, inspectors; Arthur Burgin and J. L. Kimbro, clerks.

 Many a person will eXclaim. Non sensen' It is easy for any thoughtless person to jump at a conclusion that philosopher would study carefully over be.ore reaching. Think of the members of your own family. How many of them are perfectly and completely well in every respect? How many of your friends are perfectly healthy? Inquire of them and you will be surprised to learn that khe average of one in every three. who are sc.., in the main, stands true. Health depends, primarily, upon perfectly poised nervous organization, and the greatest known enemy to the nervous system is coffee. Its active principle is caffeine, which is a pronounced nerve destroyer The action is. first. to attack the stomach then the pneumogastric nerve which lies behind the stomach and which is directly connected with the brain.
 The disordered condition passes thence from the brain to all parts of the body, and in some it will show in trepidation fwell-known nervous condition); in others th.s Is hidden, but the work goes on from day to day, until the accumulation of Forces climaxes in some organic disease.

Mission Meeting.

The Rescue Mission held it's second meeting tonight at the Methodist church. It was well attended and there was marked enthusiasm, many prominent church workers being present
 The organization Is said to be on firm basis and the work will be started as soon as the necessary preliminary arrangements can be made. The sum of $4U per month has already been subscribed for carrying on the mission work. This amount will no doubt be largely in- creased when the finance committee, con- sishng of J. T. Cox, R. w. Russell the Rev. J. J. D. Hall, Dr. T. A. Johnson and W. R. Stewart, have finished their work of raising funds.
 The board of directors was instructed to secure a location for the mission on Sew enteenth street. between Avenues D and E, and will meet tomorrow night for the purpose of deciding the matter. The board is also in touch with man of experience in this line of work whose services will probably be secured at the proper time.
 Many interesting talks were made at the meeting tonight by various members of the mission organization, all strongly supporting it.

PRICE OF BEER GOING UP.
An Increased Cost Of Manufacture of
Nearly ST a Barrel,

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-secrotary
Charles j. Warner, of the Brewers
Association, said today that the price
of beer was not discussed ut today's
meeting OF the association. but that
although no concerted action on the
part OF the brewers had ben taken
or was likely 10 be taken. the indl-
viduai brewers would undoubtedly
advance their prices on January /.
The advance Is caused by increased
cost of production, malt, which year
ago was Mt 62 cents. is now S125; the
cost of oooperage Is advanced rs per
cent. to so per cept. over last year;
corn and rice are much higher: hay
and oats for feeding the brewers
horses are higher and wages have
also increased.
The brewers figure that, all told,
there has L'een from rs cents to 81 n

over last year.
Mr. Warner said today that he did
not believe the advance in wholesale
prices would affect the price to the
consumer. hut he thought 1t would OPP
