 A dght will be made in Tennessee. 1t is announced here. and some of the prominent Republican speakers will come to Alabama and make speech or two on general Republican lines.

 Ruined Lives.
 A last word against the playhouse lies nthe fact that 1t annually wrecks and ruins hundred of human lives. Did not Mfr. Scott, a friend to theatre. as- sent that a young had one chance in hundred of preserving her personal pu- rity and womanhood on the stage? Who does not know that the institution, gem erally speaking, is in the hands of an immoral people? Some performers have had and do have strength of character sufficient to resist the numerous ana subtle temptations which they are com pelled to face daily. but these are the exceptions.
 Some years ago the editor of The Wes- tern Recorder, if we remember correct ly, said that in returning from India napolis there were in the same car with him a group of women. They speedily attracted the attention of all the passen gers by behaving in most unseemiy fashion. He stated that he had never seen such brazen immodesty on the each other and with some men. sat in mems laps and in many ways showed an utter disregard of all decen- cy and propriety. These women. he learned. were actresses and on their way to Louisville to play in one of the theatres there. The papers of the next day said that the theatre in question was crowded. The editor very proper iy added: @Yet many people who claim responsibility. and some even who claim piety go to see such women per form and by their money and patron age support them in their disorderiy lives" Yes, and then church members naively ask: What harm Is there in the theater? I can see no harm in go- ing to the theater." Harm indeed. thel

Freedom.


 When Sir Richard Gaunt had rscov- cred from ths shock of the discovery, and was able to arrange his thougts his first feelings were those Of relief.
 His task was over, and he was a free man. What might have proved long and wearlsoms search was al- ready a thing of the past. He could spend his life as he pleased. and he was the richer by fso.000. It was. of course absurd to suppose that a man could be expected to ruin himself and hound himself to death. The spirit of the oath could not possibly be con- strued to include such a ridiculous task as that. The latter part of the bust ness was. of its very nature. null and void.
 Far from being appalled, by the ex- traordinary coincidence, which some men might have regarded as the judg- ment of God, Sir Richard Gaunt chue- kIed to himself at the narrow escape he had had. For the past year he had seen a good deal of George Crawshay and it was certainly most fortunate that the man had died before the com pletion of hIs task. A chance word, liehtly spoken between two friends might have provided the clue. Gaunt was not a man who talked much about his past amours. but stiIl there might have been that chance word, and then well, it was certain that Crawshay would have killed him, A man. whose life is doomed, cares little for the lives of others.
 And now Sir Richard Gaunt was safe, and he was the richer by f3O ,000. What more could a man desire? He smiled when he th ought how near he had been to death. He had not known that for ten years man had been seeking his

EAST LAKE POLITICS
 GROWING WARMER

The citizens of East Lake are winding up a campaign which has been hard fought on both sides. The administratic ticket called a mass meeting last Mo day night and tonight the Citizens clu have called a mass meeting at Hunt S hall, which is being extensively adver- tised. The citizens ticket is headed by. Dr. N. A. Barrett for mayor, and five aldermen, namely s. R. Hawley, J. w. Beasley, J. H. Finch, L. S. Cox, and D. E. McLendon. There are only four can- didates for aldermen on the administra- tion ticket, w. A. Williams having de- clined to qualify if elected. N. E. Hit heads this ticket as candidate for mayor
 In the beginning of the campaign the Citizens club held a mass meeting which was one of the largest ever pulled off in East Lake and the one tonight bids fair to be larger, as a great deal of factional interest is being manifested and large vote is expected at the polls next Mon- day, September 21.

 Mr. Savely decided this morning to ac- cept the position in Washington and stat ed that he will leave Saturday for the capital to begin upon his new duties. MT. Savely has done a great work for the farmers in Mississippi since he has been in the state.

 Mr. Saveley has established over 2o0O experimental farms in Mississippi. These farms are worked by the farmers under general and special orders from the agri- cultural department.

Quo Warranto Proceedings.

The quo Warranto proceedings against the present school board came up this morning in the city court and resulted in Judge Jackson ruling that the new board is a legal body.
 Attorney C. l.. Odell, who represented the petitioners in trying to oust the pres ent board, stated this afternoon that an appeal would be taken to the supreme court for a final decision. He also stated that there were legal points connected with the case that ought to be put up to the supreme court, but whether or not this was the only reason for the bringing of the quo warranto proceedings is a doubtful question, for it has been strong ly rumored that there are other objections besides the legal technicalities connected with the personnel of the new board, and should the supreme court uphold Judge Jackson's decision entirely new tactics may be resorted to.
 Judge Jackson based his ruling on the fact that the new code had been adopted and was in effect before last April, -~ which time the council elected the new board. As the supreme court does not convene until some time in November it is hardly possible for anything to be done on this case until December or January.
