JOHNSON AT CLOSE RANGE.
minneapolis Journal.)


Governor Johnson is not an orator
But there are few men in the country
who can give better account of them
selves before an audience. The Mime
sofa governor can talk faster for two
hours and make more friends and few
err enemies, advance more plausible
ideas and skip more hard nuts thar
any other man in politics today 1r
short without being hero or a pro-
found public man, the Minnesota gov
ernor Is, as a candidate. resourceful
human and quick, just the kind Of g
man who makes a good run. In office
he is quiet, modest, ready and depend
able. One Of his most charming char
acteristics in his handling Of patron
age. 1t is the point at which most pol
iticians fall down. 1t is the point al
which Johnson rises to his best.

Does It Pay?
Does advertising pay?

Does advertising pay?
That question is one which has been
discussed great deal in the past, but
not so much of late. Merchant and
business men of all kinds have come
to the conclusion, as rule, that it
does pay when properly applied to
business. A merchant need not ex-
pect returns, however, by placing
small ad occasionally. He wants to
buy space regularly and change the
advertisement as often as he has
something to offer if he would get
proper results from advertising.
A new merchant in town should,
of all men, use considerable space
keep his name constantly before the
people. He should use catchy ex-
pressions and make his name by
word in the community in which be
does business. The reader will notice
that, as general thing, the merchants
who do the most business are the ones
who continually advertise-week in
and week out.
There is no use quibbling or parley-
ing over the question as to whether
advertising pays or not.

A DIRE CALAMITY.

Predicted by a So.cal|ed Prophet in
PennsIyvania-Says the World Will
Come to an End in the Latter Part
Of December Next.
A York, Pa, prophet, at least one
who claims to be prophet and whose
prophecies have attracted the atten4
ton of people who care for that sort
of thing, has issued his 1908 bulletin.
It is his habit and his livlihood, of
course, but this one is more startling
than some of those previously issued.
The following is his last bulletin:
The end of the world. The end Of
this world will come to an end in
winter, in the end of the month of
December On Sunday, in the year
1908. Heaven and earth will pass
away. Nineteen hundred and eight
will be year of trouble, such as was
never known before, nation shall rise
against nation. Kingdom shall rise
againat kingdom, There shall be fam
ines and pestilences and earthquakes.
Rivers will dry up.
The fish of the sea will die.
The sea will boil up with a great
noise.
The cities of the nation will fall.
Mountains will not be found.
Islands will pass away.
The city of Boston will sink.
New York will 60 up in smoke.
People will flee to the mountains.
The land will dry up to get ready
for fire.
The crops will fail and prosperity
will be cut off.
The banks will keep on failing.
This cannot be stopped.
Roosevelt will get rid of all his
money.
The treasury will 60 dry.
People will carry their money in
their pockets and hide it in their
homes.
Families, viii steal it from one an
other. This is the gold that is piled
up for the last days. This gold will
rust in your pockets. It will give
you more trouble than good.
Labor organizations will come un-
der one head and rule the land.
There will be great wrath among
the people. Hatred, killing one an
other, hanging themselves, and chill
dren will rise against their parents;
two against three, and three against
two; mother-in-law against daughter
in-law. All plaques that are written
In the bible will be bought forth.
The land will be full Of lice, frogs,
crickets and locusts. Whosoever be
stung of the locust will die.
There will be signs in the sun, in
the moon and in the stars. In the
end of time the sun will be black, and
the land will be in distress. The moon
will be as blood, the stars will fall and
the heavens will be shaken. This
coming summer and fall the elect, the
saints, will be gathered together

STILL ARGUING
 TRANSFER CASE
DECISION INVOLVES QUESTION OF RIGHT OF CONSlGNEE TO HAVE LIQUOR DELIVERED TO HIS HOME FROM STATION.

The case of Yam Irby, driver of one of Charlie's Transfer company's wagons, who was arrested some days ago on a charge of violating the prohibition law, will probably be concluded in the police court this morning.
 Attorney Hammill, for the defense. is making the closing speech and 1t was thought that he would close yesterday. However, he did not conclude his argu- ment, but it is expected that all of the citations will be made this morning.
 The case of Irby is one which has at tracted much attention. It involves a nice question of law, and after the case has been closed it is probable that Judge Fea- gin will take it under advisement for a day or two. The chief question at issue is that of the act of interstate commerce involving the point of whether the act of interstate commerce has been carried out when liquor shipped into prohibition ter- ritory Is taken from the railroad. or whether it must be delivered to the con- signee.
 The testimony in the case showed that a quantity of beer was ordered through an agency in Memphis which shipped the consignment to Birmingham, and 1t was being delivered in a wagon of Charlie s Transfer company when the negro driver was arrested.

COLORS FIGURED
 IN THIS AFFRAY
NEGROES WITH AN ODD MIXTURE
 OF NAMES HAVE A CUTTING sCRAPE OVER MERITS OF THE BIRMINGHAM BASEBALL TEAM.

Two Will Greens-one Green ginger cake and one Green black-made the other negroes on an excursion from Chattanooga yesterday afternoon real green with envy over their fighting prowess As the result of the encounter the Green gingercake negro and tho Green black negro, together with Sam Black gingercake negro, are at the Hillman hospital, suffering with wounds received as the result of the Green en- counter.
 It all appears to have resulted rom an over-indulgence in the waters that flow red in the village nestled on the banks of the River Tennessee at the bottom of the Mount Lookout. This excursion train left Irondale Monday afternoon, and, with heavy load or human freight, sped on to Chattanooga Two nights and day were spent In the rejuvenation caused by the imbibing of red eye and then the return Journey was started.
 For the first few hours of the ride the feeling of happiness was great, but
  gradually caused a reverse feeling to set in. An argument was started in one of the negro coach es in which the Green gingercake and the Green black negroes were. It waxed hotter and hot ter until the little Green negro, who is black. made some insulting remark about the Birmingham baseball team. This aroused the ire of the big Green negro. who is the gingercake one, and he slashed at the little Green black ne- gro with a knife. The little Green black negro lodged, drew his knife and went to slashing. The big Green gin gercake negro lodged. the little Green black negro's arm slipped and his knife stuck the Sam Black black gingercaks negro. The little Green black negro kent on slashing, however, until he had stuck his knife in the big Green gin percake negro and the big Green gin eercake negro had also cut him with his knife.
 The Sam Black gingercake negro, the big Green gingercake negro and the little Green black negro proceeded to bleed orofusely and Shaw & Son were telegraphed to have ambulances meet the train. This was done, the train heinz met at the Thirty-second street crossing and Sam Black and the two will Greens were rushed to the hos pital. Th cir wounds will not prove fa- tai, though they are quite serious.
