MT. PLEASANT CHIEF
SAW LIQUOR SOLD
BUT DIDN'T ARREST
WILLIS SAYS THAT HE HAD MADE
PROMISES TO OWNER OF
PROPERTY.
EXPLANATION in COUR'
Dave Joyce Had Reputation as Boot.
logger, The Officer Said-ls Held
in Sum Of $25o-sueeeeded in
Making Bond.

In the continued case before U. S.
Commissioner A. o. P. Nicholson this
morning against Dave Joyce, of
Mt. Pleasant, charged with bootleg
ging, only one new witness was in
troduced by the Government. This
was Officer w. H. Willis, Chief of
Police of the city of Mt Pleasant.
Officer Willis stated that on May %,
ne saw three men buy drinks from
Dave and pay him the money for It.
He was in company with officer Har-
ris when he saw this. He was asked
by Attorney fowler for the defense
whether he arrested Dave or not. He
replied that he did not because he had
promised the owner of the property
that he would not cause any trouble.
He said that all the officers know
that Dave had the reputation of a
bootlegger, that if he had not prom
ised not to do anything he could not
have gotten into the wild cattery
After these questions by Attorney
fowler, the witness seemed unusually
nervous and when he signed his name
to his testimony his pen shook SO that
the writing was hardly legible.
Joyce was held in the sum of $3.50
and made the necessary bond.

At Morgan Hall.

An entertainment of brilliance and
tasteful appointment was the recep-
ton given Tuesday by Mrs. Smith
Thomas and Miss Emma Brown. in
honor of Mrs. W. H. Jones and her
charming sister, Miss Marie Bridges
OF Birmingham, Ala The guest list
was large and included both married
and unmarried ladies. Morgan Hall
has long been noted for the elegance
of its entertainments and the cor.
diality of its hostesses, but never
have either of these virtues been
shown to a better advantage than on
Tuesday afternoon In sharp con
trast with the abundant shade with
which the house is surrounded. the
color scheme. artfully carried out
through the decorations, was in yell
low The large hall, two parlors and
dining room were used in the enter
tainment. In all these rooms the yell
low interspersed with sprigs of
green was laYishly but artistically
used and the effect was beautiful. At
the door the guests were met by little
Miss Frances Jones and Master Archie
Brown, who cared for the cards.
Standing in the hall were Mrs Allie !
Kittrell, of Mt. Pleasant, Mrs. ALI
Thomas and Miss Sue Todd Walker |
From here the guests passed into the !
West parlor, where they were re- !,
ceived by the hostesses and honorees |
and Miss Laura Erskine, of Memphis +.
and Mrs Hardin Thomas Here !
also frappe was dispensed by Misses
Edna Frierson and Julia BiddIe. The
East room was presided over by Mes
danes W. B. Gordon and James
Smiser. Next the guests passed into
the dining room, which was perhaps
the most attractive in decoration of
them all The central decoration was
a large swinging basket of golden
glow and yellow tulle, and in the light
which many candles shot through yell
ow shades the effect was most pleas
ing. The serving table had for its
center-piece a handsome lace cover
,ver yellow, and was presided over by
Mesdames R. G. Sparrow and Eugene
long, assisted by Misses Rachel
Moore ,Elva Hill, Carrie Smith and
elizabeth Thomas. The ice course
vas delicious and in it, too, the color
scheme could be found.

of monopoly of treir resources, what l believe they would do for themselves if they were in a position to act.
 The fact that the proposed policy Is new Is in itself no sufficient argument against its adoption. As we are met With new conditions of industry seriously af- fectlng the public welfare. we should not hesitate to adopt measures for the pro- lection of the public merely because those measures are new. When the public welfare Is involved, Congress should re- solve any reasona ble is doubt as to its legislative power in favor of the people and against the seekers for special priv ilege
 5Congress failed to act. and the cur tain went down two months later on the Roosevelt administration. MT. Gar field was succeeded as Secretary of the Interior by MT. Ballinger. MT. Bal finger had already served in Washing ton as commissioner of the land office under MT. Garfield They had dis agreed on this very policy of the with : drawal of the public lands; and MT. Ballinger had resigned and gone back to Seattle.
 Almost the first thing that MT Bal finger did when he became member Of Tafts cabinet was to take up the land question, andS to return to public entry over i 900 900 acres of land withdrawn by his predecessor to protect public water power rights. In defense of this action he took exactly the opposite position from MT. Garfield. He said:
 There is not scintilla Of law pro vidinr for the withdrawal from entry of these lands
 when the newspapers finally found out what was going on--Mr. Balltnger gave no public notice of his action as Mr Carfield had done in similar cases such an outcry was raised that MT. Taft directed that no more lands be returned
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-07-11

The July American Magazine publishes an article signed TX" in which the au- thor draws some interesting comparisons between the Roosevelt regime and the present administration. The following story is cited as illustrating the difference between the two and as best exemplify- ing the Taft point of view and method of work:
 "One of the greatest undeveloped re- sources of the country is water powers. ernment are to be found incalculable pos. abilities of water power development; :; worth untold millions of dollars. Great private corporations have been snapping up the land which control the power producing rivers. The department of the interior under MT. Garfield made an in- vestigation of conditions, and shortly be- fore the Roosevelt administration went out of office several immense tracts of lands were withdrawn, exactly as the coal lands were withdrawn, to protect the public interest against private greed Roosevelt sent a special message to Con- gress on January 15 1908, recommending leg1slation which should forever protect the people in the control of these water rights. He said in that message-well rep resenting the legal point of view of his administration:

"JOY" RIDES TO MARS.
Paterson Mans Motor Good for Million
 Miles a Minute.

Paterson Dispatch to the New York
 Tribune
 Robert W Barker has developed a mo- tor working on the principle of centrifu- gal force which, he believes, will In time solve the problem of interplanetary com munication. MT. Barker says that his motor will project a solid body through the air without the aid of propellers or wings, and that it will completely revo- lutionize land and sea travel. He has been working on the problem for ten years, backed by local capitalists, who, he says, have just organized the Barker company, with a capital stock of $500 900.
 Do not be surprised the inventor said, If you find me travelling few months from now from New York to Chi cago in an hour and a half. but I pre- : dict the time will come when, with my motor, we will be able to take joy rides to Mars. This may be regarded as a dream, but l am certain that my motor points the way for interplanetary com munication. venture to predict that we will be able to travel at the rate of a million miles a minute.
 My motor can De placed in dirigible balloon or airship and it will eventually take the place of propellers on ferry boats and ocean steamships"

SENATOR LA TOILETTE
 EXPOSES TARIFF GRAB
In Plea for Lower Duties He Makes a Startling Exposition of the In- crease In Price of Garments On Backs of American
 People.

Washington July s-During the closing debate on the tariff In the senate Senator LaFollette, of Wisconsin, presented a statement prepared by a special commit tee of the National Association of Cloth iers, pleading for lower rates in the wool en schedule
 Some of his assertions were startling one in particular. being that the na- tional association was composed of Y per cent of the leading clothing manu- lecturers of the United States"
 Standard worsteds twelve years ago. ranging from 21 to 6 ounces in weight per yard, he said. have gradually been decreased in weight so that they now range from 14 10 IS ounces per yard, and standard spring worsteds which ranged from 14 to 16 ounces in weight per yard. ,have gradually been decreased so that they now range from to R ounces per yard
 In consequence, said Mir. LaFollette, d deterioration of fully 33 1-3 per cent lnl weight has taken place in addition toI the establishment of a much higher range of prices for the same qualities of goods.
 ''rhe advance in the prices on worsteds which have been announced" said the senator, will add to the retail price ap- proximately $2.50 on s10 suit of clothes. s on a s15 suit and s5 on a 20 suit, CT from % to 25 per cent to the cost of the clothing to the wearer thereof. The az gregate burden of the increased cost of mems and boys clothing to the American people under the present advance alone, will be GOO for the year 1910, which is twice the value of the annual domestic wool clip
 The foregoing statements are made from direct experience in the manufact- pring whoesaling and retailing of cloth- ing and are not the averment of theo- rists" said Mir LaFollette Membership of the National Association of Clothiers is largely republican protectonists, but we are confronted by an acute situation which forces us to demand a change in the tariff to enable us to clothe the great masses of the people satisfactorily at prices within their reach" l
