The trencher, wooden chopping bowl,

@aA their appearance in one way or
another that many have come to
~ regard the subject of Good
Looks" as frivolous, and anyone consid-
ering them as given over to a foolish
and senseless vanity. The proper con-
sideration of good looks means several
things which are the foundation stones
of success in life.
In the first place they mean health,
for seldom can one who is sickly be
good-looking. In the next place they
mean attainment of better place in
society for good looks are pleasing to
everybody and the possessor of them
is pleasureable sight and more eagerly
sought for companionship. Indeed 4 at
first they count for more than intellec-
tual and moral qualities and all that
goes to make up that thing which we
call character" Good looks enhance
these qualities more than is realized.
Importance of Good Looks
They also have great weight in
making business success of life, in
this relation being termed "a pleasing
personality" Good looks have exalted
the lowly to place among the wealth
lest; have even seated their possessors
upon thrones Therefore, one should
realize their Importance and try to at
tain them. But so many women, other
wise sensible, do not understand of
what good looks consist and are I'M
speakably foolish in regard u them.
Women are silly about their hair. If
few gray hairs are seen they feel that
a calamity has overtaken them, and will
do anything to get rid of them. They

wrong things are made to seem right
The rush for pleasure and wealth makes
people careless about higher things The
fault of the times is i'll irresponsible self
will.
A boy who has been trained by good
parents knows the value of good con-
science, and that in times of trial or
responsibility it will solve problems and
deliver him from temptation. He re-
members the simple but clear teaching
of little verse on character:
Build it well, whate' err you do;
Build it straight and strong and true;
Build it clean and high and broad;
Build it for the eye of God"
In a good home boy learns that
everyone is under law, and that on his
good conduct depends the welfare of all.
When he enters the larger duties of life
he will find that the same laws that he
was taught as boy make for happiness
and helpfulness in the world. Thus he
is equipped TO be law-abiding citizen.
He loveshis country, looks forward with
pride to the rights and privileges he will

SOFT DRINKS WILL
 BE HEAVILY TAXED

Atlanta, July 2s.-If the Georgia IegisIa- ture incorporates into the general tax bill all the provisions introduced by mem- bers, 1t soon will be nearly as hard to get a drink of soda water in the state as it is now to get drink of whisky.
 Face to face with a deficit and with salaries and bills unpaid, the soIons are grubbing desperately to find revenue pro- ducers. Since the advent of prohibition the soft drink industry has become the biggest thing in the state. Hence 1t of fered the easiest solution of the problem. Here are some of the tax clauses al- ready passed by the house:
 Five dollars a year upon each faucet of a soda fountain.
 Five hundred dollars per year for each manufacturer of carbonated water.
 Twenty-Five dollars per year upon each bottling machine in the state.
 A revenue stamp costing cents for each gallon of syrup or tincture or extract manufactured or sold.
 All of these taxes are in addition to the tax levied by the cities towns and villages in which the dealer resides-and these towns have not overlooked the soft drink dealers in their plans for raising revenue. These levies, too, are in addi- ton to certain specific taxes which have been directed against certain big manu- lecturers of well-known bottled drinks
 Several ambitious members say they have measures being drawn which will help to increase the funds. Conserva- tive members are alarmed and declare that unless the assembly goes slow it will cut off nearly all the states reve- nue instead of increasing 1t.

BRISTOL LOCAL
 OPTION CASE

Bristol Va, July 2S-Taking of deposit tions in the local option contest case was begun today. s. J. Cornett, a magis- trate. and Lindsay Bunting, secretary of the Business Mems league, which was organized to influence the election in fa- vor of the saloons. occupied the time of the hearing with their dispositions. Cor nett testified to having witnessed activity of the party in sympathy with the cause of saloons in qualifying persons to vote. He observed the frequenting of Bunting's office by these people and inferred they were going there to receive mony, since Bunting, he said. was supposed to be handling the funds of the vets.
 Cornett admitted that he himself had sought money from Judge William r. Rhea of the Virginia corporation commits sion. for use In paying poll taxes in the interest of Judge Mann for gover- nor.
 Bunting admitted that as secretary of the vets he handled their moneys. Un- der advice of counsel he claimed his priv ilege not to answer many of the ques- tions. He declined to show his bank book as evidence of how the vets funds were spent and refused to say how tho money was spent aside from that por- ton that went for printing. He denied having paid poll taxes for any person other than himself.
 Counsel for tho vets sprung a sensa- ton by filing, instead of an answer to the petition of the drys, a demurrer to the petition by which they hope to throw the case out of court.

TRUSTEES BUY
 VALUABLE TRACT

The trustees of Birmingham college, To- cated at Owenton, have closed trade with the Walker Land company for about IS acres of land to be converted into an addition to the present campus of the college. The consideration in the trans action was S1S.00O or 5000 an acre.
 It is understood that the newly ac- quired property will be graded and other wise improved, so as to form an athletic ground, which, it is stated, will be one of the finest in this section of the south. Work in this direction will probably begin before the close of the present year
 The new property adjoins the old cam pus and is in a way a donation, inas- much as 1t was sold by the land com pany to the trustees of the college at a price which is considered below the mar ket value. The tract increases the prop. erty holdings of the college to 6S acres of fine land.

REGULAR MANDY
 IS SARAH TERRY

Sarah Terry, a negro woman 57 years old, who weighs more than 200 pounds, was placed in the county jail yesterday morning on three different charges of as- sault, and 1t will require good securities for $50 in each case to secure her re- lease.
 Sarah, it seems, could not get along with her roommate and apparently they had the most royal sort of a battle, during the course of which the old negro woman brought into service three weap- ons, if the bare fist may be classed as a weapon. Sarah, it is understood, could not "get' her opponent with her fist so she brought into play glass vase and, having broken that resorted to a bed slat, which she used successfully enough to break up the fight.
 The second party in the fight went be- fore Judge I. H. Benners and swore out warrants for Sarah, who is now confined in the county jail with the following charges appearing on the warden's dock ct against her: Assault with bed slat." 1assauit with vase,' and just plain assault"

In the eyes of the law at least this Imprisonment contains no element of jest, for the life of negro prisoner depends in part upon the dog.

COMPANIONS SAW
 YOUNG NEGRO DIE

Coroner B. L. Brasher received re- port yesterday of the death of Charley Marlborough, 10-year-old negro boy, who was drowned while bathing with three other negro boys in Parker Spring on the South Bessemer car line.
 It is understood that the young negro who was drowned was the youngest of the crowd, none of whom could swim, and it Is stated that he was forced out into the deep water by his companions. When the boy got into water over his head and the other negroes were afraid to jump in and help him the young ne- gro drowned.
 Coroner Brasher held preliminary in- vestigation of the case yesterday after noon. He stated last night that he could secure but little evidence, however, inas- much as the three negro boys who were the only witnesses were so badly scared that they did little but cry. An official investiaation of the case will be held Saturday morning.
