HIS FURNlTURE.-HoUSE AND
CONTENTS INSURED.

Fire at about 1870 o'clock Monday
morning badly damaged the house oc-
cupied by E. S. Mulligan on Embargo
street and resulted in almost the com
plete loss Of the household furniture.
The fire started in the rear part OF
the house and had gained great head
way before it was discovered by some
one passing by. When the family
was awakened the blaze was burning
over them and they escaped in scant
clothing. The fire department. an
swered the alarm promptly and did
good work, saving part Of the build
ing and preventing damage to other
houses nearby.
Insurance on the furniture was $3.50
carried by Farrell & Lipscomb. The
building was owned by Maddin Voss

JUDGE LANSDEN.

No candidate who has announced Tor
the Supreme Bench is more capable
or better fitted for the place than our
own Judge Lansden, and it is source
of satisfaction that the sentiment
throughout this section is practically
a unit for him. He is recognized the
State over as one of its best lawyers
and able jurists, a man OF reason and
the peer of any Judge now on the
bench, possessing legal talent which
justly fits him for service on Tennes'
sees highest tribunal. Judge Lans-
den is a man of the people, without the
least taint on his public or private
life and one who would know no spe-
cial interests, yet would deal fairly
with individuals and corporations
alike. His chances Of election are al
this time second to none and 1t IL
confidently believed that he will prove
a winner.-Alexander Times.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 3d.
Official notice has just been received
from Mgr Cox of the Vanderbilt foot
ball team of the completion of the
foot ball schedule for the season OF
1908 by the receipt of the Sewanee
contract. This schedule proposes ten
games, the largest number of games
ever yet attempted by any former
schedules, and has been carefully
planned and contrived by C. c. Ira
bue, chairman of the games commit
tee, with the help of his associates,
w. l.. Dudley and ]. E. Hart and Man
ager Cox. The arrangement of these
games has been so planned so as to
start the season with the lighter teams
with Rose Polytechnical coming in
first as one of the strong rivals, fol-
lowed by Clemson University from
which is expected an unusually strong
fight.
After these the lighter games alter
nate with the big exciting ones dur
ing the heat of the season which al
lows about two weeks between the big
games. This lengthy schedule neces-
states the opening of the season at
an unusually early date, the date be-
ing a week earlier than heretofore, and
also gives one game on Saturday be-
fore Thanksgiving, which is record
unprecedented except for games with
the scrubs annually at that time. The
Michigan game comes couple OF
weeks earlier than it was played last
year, throwing Ohio State to be
played on the same date as the games
with the Carlisle Indians and Michi'
gan of the two preceding years.
One interesting feature of the Glenn
son game will be the fact that Stein
Stone will place the Clemson stalwarta
in the field against his old instructor
Mr.. Michigan, and the tactics to be
employed will be, most likely, run on
the same plan, though of course, the
plays to be employed, may not be the
| same.
After completion of the schedule
the following games are oficially an
nounced:
September 26, s. W. P. u, Nash
vile.
October 8, Maryville, Nashville.
october 10, Rose, Nashville.
October II, Clemson, Nashville.

In Opinion Of Chief Justice Beard

Special TO The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. March 2S.-
The Supreme Court today in a very
lengthy opinion delivered by Chief
Justice Beard reversed the verdict in
the case of DR.. Herman Feist, con-
victed of the murder of Mrs. Rosa
Mangrum. The courts opinion, after
very thorough review of the evil
dence, concludes that the proof was
insufficient for conviction.
Dr.. Fiest was convicted in the
criminal court of Davidson county
about a year ago of murder in the
first degree and was sentenced to
hang. The case attracted a great deal
of attention and there was a strong
public sentiment aroused against the
the defendant who was at that time q
prominent physician Of Nashville. The
evidence was largely circumstantial
and the record in the case was the
longest ever filed in the Supreme
Court of this state, It containing more
than 1000 pages of type written mat
ter. The brief fled by the counsel
for the defendant was an average size
law book, containing more than 600
printed pages.
This is one of the most noted cases
in the criminal annals Of the State
and never DID the attorneys make a
stronger effort to save client than
was made for DR.. Fiest. The body
of the woman alleged to have been
murdered was discovered under sensar
tional circumstances and her relations
with the defendant were fully aired In
the trial in evidence that was salac-
ious and sensational in the extreme.

ADVERTISING BY
FREE DISTRIBUTION
SAMPLE COPY METHOD DOES NOT
PROVE SUCCESSFUL SUB
STITUTE.

Nothing better illustrates results
the value of advertising in a news
paper that has a bona fide paid circu-
lation as compared with one that is
distributed free as sample copies than
the experience of the Nashville Retail
Merchants Association in trying to ad-
vertise a scheme to attract trade to
Nashville by means of free copies of
the Nashville American. This adver-
Using was offered to The Herald, but
was declined because this paper long
ago established a rule that 1t would
not accept foreign advertising for
goods and wares that came into con-
tact with those sold by local patrons.
Columbia being the most important
city embraced within the OFFER made
by the Nashville merchants, the as
ISOLATION behind the scheme under
took to advertise by means of the free
circulation of copies of the American.
On Sunday 1000 sample copies of
this paper were distributed through
out the city, but they were of little,
if any, practical benefit to the adVer-
Users or the American, for the reason
that the papers were thrown by the
half dozen into the homes of the peo-
ple, some of the yards being almost
! covered with them. They were
thrown into yards where the houses
/. are not inhabited with the same lib
crafty that they were scattered
among the homes that were occu-
pied.
This class of advertising is of lit
tie value. The Herald has never re-
sorted to this method of padding its
circulation. It's great value to its
advertisers lies in the fact that its
circulation is paid and bona fide. Peo'
! pie will read a paper that they think
enought of to pay for but with sam
pie copies the matter is altogether
different.
Since the Americans issue OF Sun
day was literally interspersed with
liquor and beer advertisements, the
people here who did read It are won
dering whether it was, after all, dis
tributed free for the purpose of ad
vertising an alleged free trip" or fol
the purpose of advertising several
| more or less well-known brands Of
liquor
Should the American entertain any
doubt as to the truth Of the statement
that The Herald declined much of the
advertising contained in its columns
of Sunday and in addition has refused
something like 100 columns of liquor
advertisements since Jan. 1, it is will
ing to submit its books and records
to an impartial examination. The
American to pay S. per column for al
cancelled or refused contracts. Thi:
fund will be paid by The Herald t.
the various charitable organizations
of the county.

"Oh, yes, suppose it seems attractive to you, he remarked to a member of the party who was partic- ularly enthusiastic, 'but, believe me, neither Mrs. Schwab nor myself can get anything like the solid enjoyment out of It that we used to get in the little brown stone house across the street where we lived when this big thing was being built. My ambition was gratified at the expense of a lot of things for which life is much more worth while living"
