 Claiming that he did not make a formal oath, but simply "swore" to the truth of a statement. G. D. Mims was yesterday ordered before United States Commissioner John A. Elmore on the charge of perjury. Judge Fillmore af- ter listening carefully to the testimony In the case, bound Mims over to await action of the Federal grand jury in the sum of $500.
 Mims, who resides about twelve miles east of Clanton, was arrested on the charge of selling illicit whiskey. On appearing before the United States Court he made affidavit that he was unable to procure witnesses. This was the cause of the trouble. Mims thought that if the name of the Deity was not he was not committing per- jury. Judge Fillmore thought otherwise yesterday morning, and bound Mims over for his error.

TOM JoHNsoN's FORTUNE.

To any other millionaire than May
or Johnson Of Cleveland, the loss of
his fortune might be accounted a mis-
fortune. To Johnson-and in men
tioning him we include his ideals-it
is not improbably the most fortunate
thing that could have happened. His
wealth and his reputation for wealth
have been obstacles rather than aids
to the public work he set ont TO do.
They have been burden upon many
things in the public interest that he
has undertaken. lie might have re-
tired to a Scottish castle with his
millions and doled out libraries to
sycophantie American towns, and had
his opinions applauded as interesting
even If queer. He might have linked
his name with some orthodox church
and given literally to colleges and
missions. and got into the official list
Of celestial harp-bearers and crown
WeaTers. He might have made him
self hail fellow in millionaires' clubs,
and been joked about his curious no
ticns but highly respected for his level
head. But when he set out to attack
the golden gods OF the rich. set out
in action and IN earnest, set out in
. way that made them recognize him
as destructive Samson in their holy
temple-when they saw him doing this.
the whole pack Of parasites jumped up
on him. Yet there was nothing about
him they could attack, except the fact
that he was a millionaire whose mil
Hons had bean got as theirs were
through privileges created by law.

working, of The people whose rights

and his enemies and theirs denounced
him to them as insincere. Large num-
bers we're deceived by these tactics. So
long as he had his fortune, his real
character was obscured. Many were
incapable of eonceiving of a million
aire as human-hearted and public
spirited unless he schattered bali-
sheesh broadcast with both hands.
Only Tom L. Johnson's friends fully
knew the man back of the millionaire.
But now that circumstances have lift
ed him out of the millionaire class.
he is destined to be known and re-
spected and loved in the future years
by masses of meu who have doubted
as by his friends he has been in the
years that are past. Insofar as this
comes to be true, his effectiveness will
be augmented as a leader. And such
leaders as he are needed at their best
in the irrepressible conflict of equal
rights against special privilege, which
is now more terrific, more widespread
and farther advanced in purpose than
ever before.-The Public.

sHoElNG THE WORLD.

One of the monumental industries
that has grown up and flourished un-
der the protective tariff and which is
now deemed quite capable of taking
care of itself is the shoe manufactur-
ing business. Figures just issued are
TO the effect that the United States is
fast becoming the shoemaker of the
world. The remarkable advancement
in expectations of boots and shoes is
understood when it is revealed that
100000 pairs were sent from the
country in 1878 whereas in the fiscal
year 1908 the expectations reached
6,5O0,OOO pairs
AS proof that the price of these ex-
ported products has been kept at a
high figure through the operation of
excessive duties, it is only necessary
to quote the average value per pair
of exports from this country in 1907
and compare 1t with that of the ex-
ports from the United Kingdom
$1S4 in the case of the former, and
$1.05 for the latter. Thus while the
United Kingdom exports about 3,000,-
600 more pairs of shoes a year than
this country, their value is nearly
1000, 900 dollars less.
At the recent hearings before the
ways and means committee of con-
gress there was a demand from sew
eral of the larger shoe manufacturers
of the country for the abolition of
duties on their product In view of
the foregoing comparisons, it is quite
apparent that they had good ground
for the request.
Another demand voiced at the same
time was for the removal of the dlH-
les on hides, which, it was shown, is
of benefit only to the great packing
houses of the west, which are rapidly
absorbing the business of the inde-
pendent tanners. 1t is plain that the
leather maker would derive unexcep-
tional benefit from the removal of the
duty on hides. 1t is likewise clear
that the manufacturer of boots and
shoes is able to stand on his own
feet, without being propped by tar
iff duty. The protective tariff on
hides and shoes has been outgrown.

fore privileged to hand over for taxes
one way and another about $3.50 a
year at considerable amount of self
sacrifice. In New York the citizens
are beginning to ask themselves why
the city clerical force should work
only six hours day when the men
who sweat to pay the taxes, directly
or indirectly, have to work over six
hours, anyway, and sometimes 10 or
H. Governments are coming forward
with all kinds of plans for improved
conditions of their employees in the
way of giving them less work, but
there must be an end some time to
increasing the pay of public servants
and shortening their hours, or the
citizen who has to pay the bills is go
ing to make pretty keen personal sac
rifices. The voters of New York city
are beginning to scan plans for boost
ing New York salaries and lessening
the hours of labor with a more or
less critical Worcester Telegram.

TAFT WOULD HELP SOUTH
WORK OUT ITS PROBLEMS

New York, Dec. 7.-Wm. H. Taft
was guest of honor of the North Caro-
lima society at the Hotel Astor this
evening and said: Prosperity in the
North is accompanied by prosperity in
the South, halt in one, means halt in
the other. Northern people meet the
Southern people and find them friend
ly, charming, full of graceful, grateful
companionship." sa
Speaking of present conditions in
the South he said: "In all Southern
states 1t is possible by election laws
prescribing proper qualifications for
suffrage, within conform with the 18th
amendment and which shall be equal
ly administered as between white and
black races, to prevent entirely the
possibility of domination of South
ern state, county or municipal govern
ments by an ignorant electorate, white
or black. Believe the best friend the
Southern negro can have is the South
ern white man." He alluded to the
political break in the South, which
seemed to be setting in and concluded
by saying it would -bethe desire of
his administration to aid the south in
working out satisfactory the serious
problems before it's people.

A PERILoUs PAsTIME.

New York state game protectors
have been ordered to exercise unus-
ual vigilance this season, not only in
carrying out the duty implied in their
official title but in looking after the
fool with a gun who endangers his
own life and that of everybody with
in shooting distance. Greater caution
is being observed this year in the
granting of licenses. When there IS
reason to believe that an applicant is
not accustomed to the use of gun,
his request is refused. Hunters found
under the influence of liquor are TO
be temporarily deprived of their
weapons. All these precautions are
good so far as they go, but they can
not rescue hunting from the list of
extra hazardous occupations. The
criminally negligent fool we have al
ways with us, and the accident insur-
ance company, which charges an ad-
ditional premium upon the lives of
those who go forth to kill rabbits or
deer, is acting on a sound business
pihCipie' III IhS HOI Ihelh WoOus VI
Wisconsin 21 hunters have been slain
in the last few weeks. Reports from
other states show that hunters are
making as much work for the coron-
ers and undertakers as in any prev
iOus season.
Nothing but individual care can
stop this senseless slaughter. 1t is

HIGH AVERAGE
OF ATTEND CE

In spite OF the fact of the setting
in of the winter and the incidental
sickness. the monthly enrolment re.
port of Superintendent of Schools Bax-
ter, submitted at last nights meet
ing Of the board of education, showed
a percentage attendance of So during
November. This is very high fig.
ure of attendance.
The total enrolment was 6549; the
monthly enrolment, 6455; the average
daily attendance, 6144; the per cent OF
daily attendance, 90; and the cases of
tardiness, 329.
The best showing of any one school
was that of the Market street build
ing, where the attendance lacked but
one point of being perfect, the per.
centage heing SO. This means that
there were scarcely any caEes of alb
sence.
A slight epidemic OF scarlet fever
which prevails in the Eighth street
and Liberty street school districts,
brought down the attendance some
what in the buildings, which they con
tain. The percentage was excellent
under the circumstances, for both
these schools show 81.

SHOP EARLY.

Only 20 days in which to do your
Christmas shopping. When you think
of it you doubtless smile and consider
the idea a good joke. Twenty days;
why, you say that great undertakings
can be accomplished in that time, and
so they can. The trouble is that you
keep on thinking the same thing. You
forget, or neglect, to consider that
time is feeting, and early shopping
cannot be done always.
And, the first thing you know you
will be a belated shopper. You will
be going through the same experience
es of other years. You will be suf-
fering in the same old way and the
cause of suffering. Get a move on; do
your Christmas shopping early. Try it
just this once.
Yet II you suffer little inconven-
ience by shopping late you heap abuse
on everybody except the right person
yourself. You are too blame for
the strenuous days Of the saleswoman.
You are to blame for all of the tur-
moil. Now. think 1t over and
after concluding to do your Christmas
shopping early, do it today. If you
put 1t of. be careful or you will be
In the same old rut. Have a care.

SCHOOL TEACHERS
SPREAD DISEASE

Cleveland, Dec. IA system to pre-
vent school teachers with tuberculo-
sis or other communicable diseases
endangering the lives of their pupils
is sought by the city school and health
authorities.
Health laws are such now that
teachers so afflicted may continue
with their classes, spreading disease
germs about without the authorities
being aware of the fact.
Physicians reports as to tuberculo-
sis cases are given the health depart
ment with the promise that they be
kept secret. The school board can
not examine them.
Superintendent Elson suggests that
district physicians examine teachers
on their trips to the various school
buildings
Teachers, now, on their first ap-
pointment are required to present ply
sicians' certificates as to their health.
No further test of their health is re-
quired in succeeding years.
DR.. Friedrich, health officer, recon-
mends that yearly health certificates
be required of teachers. He also sug-
gested that the school board obtain
permission of physicians to see the
secret health reports made to the city
