REV. ]. G. WILSON
FORMER PASTOR OF TRINfBLE
STREET METHODIST CHURCH
Dies at Dyersburg and VIII BE Buried
ut Oovington-A Message is
Received.

A telephone message received here
this morning by the Rev. G. T. Sulli-
van, pastor of the Broadway Method.
list church, announced the death of
the Rev. John C. Wilson at Dyers-
burg, Tenn, last night. The funeral
services were held at Dyershurg this
afternoon at o'clock and the burial
will be at Covington. Tenn, tomor-
row morning at 10 o'clock. Dyers-
burg was the early home OF Mr.. WI.
son, but he lived at Covington. He
left besides wife, three young chill
dren.
The Rev. Mr.. Wilson was pastor
at one time OF the Trimble Street
Methodist church Of this city and had
a wide circle of friends here. He was
one of the foremost younger men of
the Memphis conference and his loss
to the body is a serious one. He had
been in failing health for some tim.
and last year at the session at Cow
ington requested a superannuate re-
lation, as he felt be was not equal 10
a pastorate charge. He located in
Covington, which was the home OF
his wife. A man Of strong character
winning personality and consecrated
talents, he was easily force in the
various charges he had filled so ac.
ceptably. He was 35 years of age.

THE CANAL SCANDAL CASE.

Through ignorance or design, anti
administration papers are asking who
is behind the libel suit against the
New York World and the Indianapo-
lis News. which published the story
of an alleged deal by an American
syndicate in the purchase of the Pan
anna canal. There is no suit. The
Federal grand jury in the District of
Columbia is investigating the matter.
The president in his message to con-
gress declared the story libel. The
grand jury of It's own accord, or the
district attorney might take 1t up.
No private person could be behind the
Investigation. 1t is beyond the
province of the president.
We cannot understand why New
York World men are resisting serv-
ice of federal subpoenaes. Mr.. Pulit-
zer made the assertion that there was
a deal. and talked about a congress
sional investigation. He seems to be
DESTROYS Of getting satrthe facts. We
know of no speedier method of bring
ing out the facts than criminal libel
proceedings. He made the assertion
that there was a deal. Now. 1t Is up
to him to prove that there was. II
he can do 1t. that will exonerate him.
Mr.. Pulitzer and the publishers of
the Indianapolis News and of the New
York Sun. should be counting just
such an investigation. se

creased 5000 in 1908, only 97s
books were added to the collection,
and although the circulation of books
grew steadily from 5000 in 1904. TO
40.267 in 1908, only 3.446 new
books were received, showing that the
use of the library has been increasing
regardless of the slow growth of the
number of volumes, and indicating,
perhaps, that there is demand for
books which the library is not meet
ing because IL requires money for the
purchase of books, and the library
has not been receiving as much
money as II deserves.
The public schools are graduating
generation of library users. Chill
dren, who gothrough the schools, are
required to use the library, and when
they leave school, they are victims OF
the reading habit. They must have
books. That is why a public dis
pensary of good reading matter is
established. A library is not an in
stitution for rich people; but for poor
people. The rich can buy their own
books, and do In manufacturing
towns. where libraries have existed
for a number of years, IL is the COM
mon thing for the library to be filed
with men carrying dinner buckets
and baskets, during the hour imme-
diately following the closing of the
factories. A man, who has acquired
an appetite for good literature, in
school, and learned to use the public
library, will continue to use 1t after
he leaves school.
That is why Paducah's public IL
brary must be taken care of and inn
proved and made to grow and expand
N usefulness. 1t is one of the great
st conservators of public peace and
happiness and prosperity in which the
lily can invest.
That more than 20, 900 people,
lduts and children, use the reading
Dom in a year, means that a large
yer cent of the population constitute
library patrons and not all those who
borrow books use the reading room.

Says Danger Avoided and Cures
Coughs I'm 3 Hours.
A writer for the medical press
states that coughing is responsible
for the bursting of blood vessels
quite frequently. A cough or cold
means Inflammation (fever) and con-
gestion and these in turn Indicate
that the body Is full Of poisons and
waste matter. Simple rehef, as found
in patent cought medicines, and whis-
key, often result in more harm than
good; as they cause more congestion.
A tonic-laxative cough syrup will
work marvels and here follows pre-
scription which is becoming famous
for its prompt relief and thorough
cures. IL rids the system of the
cause, except II be consumption. Don't
wait for consumption to grasp its
victim, but begin this treatment
which cures some in FIVE hours. Mix
in a bottle, one-half ounce fluid wild
cherry bark. one ounce compound es-
sence cardiol and three ounces syrup
white pine compound. Take twenty
drops every half hour for four hours.
Then one-half to one teaspoonful
three or four times day. Give chill
dren less according to age.
