NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 2O.-Fol
the first time in many years there viii
be no deficit on March 10, the close OF
the States appropriation year in the
criminal cost or State prosecution &C
count. Two years ago there was q
deficit and four years ago there was a
deficit In fact for many years it has
been the rule at the close of the two
year period for which appropriations
are made to pay the costs of criminal
prosecutions for there to be deficit,
but this is the first time where there
has been an exception to prove the
rule.
The fact that criminal costs have
been less during the past two years
than during any previous TWO years
in the recent history of the State
would appear to be a good and suffi-
cient answer to the charge that the
enactment of prohibition laws in
creases and does not diminish crime.
The appropriation on this account has
remained the same for many
years, $4,000 for the biennial period,
but until four years ago it was gen
orally necessary to appropriate an adj
sum to cover the deficit for
the previous period. Two years ago
there was a deficit of more than $4,000
in this account at the close of the two
year period on March 10, 1907. How
ever, no appropriation was made to-
cover this deficit but it was paid out
Of the regular appropriation made for
the two years beginning from that
date
AS matter of fact the $4,000 that
was appropriated for criminal costs
'or the period beginning on March |
10, 1907 and ending on March 10, 1909, |
las paid the costs during that time or
will be sufficient for that purpose and |
here has been in addition sufficient to |
)ay a deficit of more than $4,000 !
Therefore the costs of State prosecu-
ions for the past two years has been
'nly 100000 In 1903 the appropria
ion for the ensuing two years for the
purpose of paying criminal costs ac-
rued on behalf of the State was s31O,-
90 but at the end Of the period on
farch 10, 1905 there was a deficit of
$4,000 which was covered by a special
appropriation. Therefore as mat.
ar of fact the criminal costs during
his two years were $4,000. For the
ext two years they were $4,000,
here being as before explained a de- F.;

hciency Of $4,000. which was paid gu
of the last appropriation. These ig
ures prove that the criminal cost:
during the past two years we're nearly
$4,000 less than they were four year;
ago and over $4,000 less than for the
last previous biennial period.
And these results have not been
reached by holding up any costs
bills. The bills of costs certified from
the Circuit and Criminal courts of the
State are promptly paid as soon as
they can be audited and verified and
properly checked by the auditor OF
costs in the Office of Comptroller Dib-
rell. No small degree of credit for
the splendid showing made during the
past two and four years is due to the
auditor of the cost department, Wiley
B. Embry. 1t is safe to say that dur
ing the past two years he has saved
to the tax payers of the State not less
than $4,000. This has been done by
the cutting out of cost bill items Of
costs placed in them by the clerks
either through ignorance of the laws
or with the intent to collect fees to
which they were not entitled. The
public would he surprised If some of
the bills of cost that come TO the
comptroller's Office properly certified
could be seen after they have been
pruned by the auditor. 1t is the duty
of Mr.. Embry to go through every item
Of every bill of cost and there are hun
dreds of cost bills containing thou
sands of items every year, and to cut
out every cent for every witness and
every official that is not authorized by
the statute or by some decision of the
Supreme Court. The task is a heavy
one and the responsibility is great.
Mr.. Embry is however, an expert in
this work and he seldom has any diff
fculty in convincing the clerk who
taxed the erroneous costs that he was
in error.
Mr. Embry's work in this office re-
calls the great record which Leon
Trousdale made in a similar position
IN the Comptroller's office. Mr.. Trous-
iale was for twenty years the auditor

lie was never known to make a mis-
axe in auditing bill and he has cut
IS much as $1,000 from single cost
ill. Mr.. Embry with the same ex-
is destined to make equally
S fine record.

STRONG SERMON
BY REV. BATTY
LENTEN SEASON AFFORDS GREAT
OPPORTUNITY FOR CHRISTIAN
SELF DENIAL, He SAID.

In the absence of Rev. ". B. Capers
the pulpit of ST. Peters church was
supplied Sunday morning by Rev. E
j. Batty, of Nashville, missionary OF
this Diocese.
Mr. Batty preached an interesting
and helpful as well as strong sermon.
He took for his text the forty-eighth
verse of the fifth chapter of Matthew:
BE We therefore perfect, even as your
] Father which is in Heaven is per-
feet" This is taken from THE Ser
mon on the Mount" and it was upon
this that the speaker laid much stress.
He said that with the coming of next
Wednesday was the beginning
of the Lenten season, and that
while it was looked upon by many as
time for Borrowing, that it was, he
considered great privilege the Chris
ton people and Christian nations of
this Christian era had that those in
years gone by did not have and that
1t was the duty of every Christian
man, woman and child to take advan-
tage of it and make something of the
privilege.
There is no need to bother with
doctrines, feasts and fastings," said
the speaker, "but devote your lives to
carrying out as near as possible in
your weak human natures the COM
mand made by Christ, which is set
forth in the text"
To illustrate more clearly the les.
son Mr.. Barry took the example of
Sual of Tarsus, afterward the Apostle |
Paul. The Apostles whole life was
briefly gone over and 1t was shown |
what could be accomplished with such
a life as that of Saul. His crusade
against Christ and his followers and
how he had always endeavored to
carry out the human laws to the best
Of his ability. It was shown that az
-er he became converted to the Chris
ian faith what that meant In carrying
out the mandates OF the laws of the
Christian religion.
Mr.. Batty closed his sermon with
strong appeal to the Christian people
If this parish and this community to
levote their lives to the better call.
ngs and to the things that they were
more At to do than the common and
lnholy things of life. A strong plea

Ger Robin Cooper's pistol he didn
mention his own gun or ofer to give
it up.
Lieut. winston Pitcher also gave
Mr.. Vaughan a pistol, stating that ne
had picked il up By Senator Carmaek
body. Lieut. Pitcher opened the gun
and il contained Two empty and three
loaded shells
Mr. Vaughan turned both pistols
over to Sergeant Meadows al the in
Urinary.
Patrolman Vaughan also picked up
one OF the empty shells elected BY
Robin Coopers gun, near the tele-
phone poles Comparison Of this shell
with the cartridges taken from the
pistol showed that they were identical.
The empty shell was picked up
three feet south of the lower tele-
phone post.
Bullets Hit POST.
G. F. Cole, of the Southern Baptist
Publishing House, located on Church
street, near Seventh avenue, visited
the scene of the tragedy on the day
after the tragedy, and examined the
north post. There was a bullet scar
and a bullet hole four or four and a
half feet above the ground, one slight
~ to the west of the center of the
north side. Another bullet had grazed
the post and torn the wood loose in a
scar just on the east edge of the post.
This bullet had evidently been fred
from point north of the post on the
west sidewalk The witness has had
enough experience at target practice
to know a bullet hole in post when
he sees it, The north post in which
the bullet holes were, has been remoV-
ed since that time.
At the conclusion of Mr. Coles tes-
timony, Gen. McCarn rose and an
nounced that the state rested its case
in chief
Judge Anderson rose and requested
that the Defense be allowed until Sat
urday morning to arrange their case,
and the request was granted by the
court, with the defense would put on
its case with as much speed as posi-
Bile
Gen McCarn stated that the prose-
cution was still making efforts to get |
cer tain witnesses, and asked that they
be allowed to introduce them Satur-
day morning if it was possible to get
them to court. Judge Hart told the
to have his witnesses
here Saturday, and stated that the
question would be decided then.

Big CROWDS ARE EXPECTED
State Has SO Far Examined Only
Thirty Witnesses-Probabis Atti-
tude Of Judge Hart-Wsb Is Wo-
ven Tighter.

Although the State rested its case
Thursday afternoon, there are other
witnesses that the state desires to in
troduce in chief. but II was impossible
to have them in the courtroom. How
ever, the state will continue its efforts
TO secure them. and will have them
here on Saturday morning II possible,
and at that time the question OF
whether or not they will be allowed
to go on the stand will be decided.
In addition to witnesses IN chief
the State has witnesses in rebuttal,
and it is probable that there will be a
large amount of testimony of this
character introduced
A new element in the case was in
troduced yesterday, when 9. F. Cole,
secretary of he Baptist Sunday school
board. testified that on the day after
the tragedy. he examined the north tel
ephOne pole at that point and found
the marks Of two bullets on it. One
was slightly to the west of the center
of the north side of the post, while the
other was a scar on the east side OF
the post, where bullet had grazed it.
From their position it seemed that
both were fired by some person stand
ing to the north of the post on the
sidewalk, and both were freshly made
at that time. Since then the pole has
been removed and cut to pieces. Mr.
Cole was the last witness called by
the State, and his testimony adds an
other element to the case.
Mystery Develops.
However, the greatest mystery de-
veloped was, How did a rubber pis-
toll scabbard get into Senator Car
mack's overcoat pocket between the
time it was thoroughly examined by
Finley NJ Doris and the time it was
taken out of the pocket in the court
room on Tuesday by w. G. Jones?'
The solution of this question consum-
ed large part of the time of the court
on Thursday morning, and the testt-
mony along that line was decidedly
w. G. Jones, embalmer for Doris.
Karsch & Co, was recalled by the de-
Tense on Tuesday afternoon, after he
had given his testimony and left the
courtroom, and was asked to see what
was in the pockets. He went through
them and drew this pouch which is
evidently the lower end of a pistol
scabbard from the right hand side
pocket of the overcoat.
Finley NJ Doris twice examined the
coat, once casually and later in the
most thorough manner, in the pres s
ence OF the attorneys for the State.
At neither. time did he find this sca5- Y

TRAINING THE BOYS

The contest instituted by The Citizen
affords the best training and the most
practical education the boy can get. The
plan is such that it places each boy up
on his own resources and teaches him
the great lesson of self-reliance Self
reliance and independence are the surest
props to success. The plan, also, must
-l-eess trily teach the boy to outline his
work and to go about it in systematic
way. System must enter into the life of
every boy who expects to succeed Then
again, this contest, as planned, will bring
the boy into contact with business men
and women from whom he is bound to
learn many useful lessons. This work
win teach the boy how to approach the
business man--bow to approach and talk
to the man whose time is money-an
accomplishment worth thousands of doll
ars to any boy in this busting age of
commercialism
But even in the din and tumult of bust
ness the man of affairs will recognize the
boy who comes into his office with a
light tread, removes his hat, addresses
him politely, and comes at once to the
point in presenting his cause The boys |
may not appeal to every man
he approaches, but he will seldom meet
with an absolute rebuff if he acts well
his part Then again, this work will
each the boy perseverance. IF at first
lou don't succeed try again" In brief
he great practical lessons taught the
10Y in this work qualities him for an
exclusive sphere in life which is never
rowded. The man or boy who can go
tut and capture the business can al
ways find a position. Honesty, self
Glance, system, tact and perseverance
will always win. They can not fail.
