ORGANIZATION AGW COMPLETE
Tom TanseI Of Williamson County,
Elected Assistant Clerk Of
The Senate.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Jan. 6.-The
whisky interests made a desperate eff
fort yesterday to undo what had been
done the day before in the senate,
when Hon. William Kinney was elected
Speaker, but when the thing was over
there was not even an imaginary rea.
son left for questioning the election
of Speaker Kinney.
An effort was made to correct the
senate journal, on which 1t was re-
corded that seventeen senators had
voted for Mr.. Kinney. one had voted
for Sam R. Sells, and FIVE were pres
ent and not voting, making a total
of twenty-three, or one more than the
necessary quorum of two-thirds. An
effort was made to have the, journal
corrected with reference to recording |
those five as present, and in that way !
make the journal show less than a
quorum.
The effort failed. The journal was
corrected so as to show that one of
he five was not there, but the other
our remained recorded as present,
till leaving twenty-five, the necessary
Quorum.
But the matter did not end there.
IN motion, and to make assurance
oubly sure. the election of SPEAKER
Kinney was ratified by the vote of 29
0 4.
Little else beyond perfecting their
espective organizations was done by {
ither the house of representatives or

THRICE ARMED IS he"

Justice Is of course loudly demand
ed by every litigant In a court Of law,
but it Is a frequent inhrmity OF the
human mind to confuse justice with
ones own cause. Tho late Thomas b.
Reed used TO tell an amusing story TO
Illustrate this tendency. He was once
retained by an enterprlslng client to
prosecute an action.
on talking with the plaintiffs wit
nesscs Mr.. Reed found that their stor-
les were far from consistent. so he re-
ported the fact to his client. and ad-
Viscd that the suit be dropped. The
client was somewhat perturbed, but
told the attorney he would have a talk
with the witnesses and let him know

Little Talks
on Advertising

N Samuel Grcenbaum had small fire last
week You know Mr.. Greenbaum, he keeps
one OF those department stores that for the
amount of floor space IS a wonder. Although he
hasn't the room he has the goods, and woman
can get in his store, anything from suit to a
hatpin His trade demands the lowest in price
and it takes pretty good business man TO give
this and still make money. But Mr.. Green
baum is right on the Job himself and has his
hand in everything that goes on.
G lie saw pretty good chance when the FIRE
was out and he struck while the iron was hot
TO be more exact, while the glass in the win
dow was still warm lie had not been big
advertiser previous to this, just did enough TO
let them know he was doing business, fair
sized ad twice week and once in awhile little
extra. But now he let himself out, a bit and
used some printers ink. Put it on good and
black too You wouldn't call his stuff high
grade "ad" writing, but he had something to
say and he said it out loud
a Did he get results? Well he had to station
a young man at the door TO shut it every once
in while, and hold them back. lie Just cleared
out that place from roof to cellar.
G Pretty good work. don't YOU think? We
rather admire the way he grabbed his chance.
q Now here is one Of the main things in
advertising When you have something special
TO say, tell it good and loud That's the time to
loosen up bit on your purse strings. OF course
we don't all have fire sales and it's just as we'll
we don't but there comes time when there is
some thing out OF the ordinary, a Fall Opening
a special bargain, according to your particular
line of business.
q At these times use space and you'll get
results. The rest of the time you can economize
space but keep your name and your goods
in the paper just the same.

BALLOON WRECKED
FOUR ARE KILLED
Army DirieibIe Exploded
While Five Hundred Feet
in the Air
By United Press Leased Special wire.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
MOULINS, France, September 20
The dlrigible army balloon Republicans
exploded near here to-day while 500
feet IN the air. -Four aeronauts were
killed and the balloon completely de-
stroyed
In the recent army maneuvres the
Republique achieved distinction as a
successful scout balloon.
The aeronauts who lost their lives
were Captain Marchal and Lieutenants
Chaure, Nincenot and Reux. They
were crushed to death when the ball
loon car struck the ground after a
frightful plunge.
The cause of the explosion has not
/ yet been determined, as all OF the oc-
cupants were killed and the balloon
so badly smashed that there is little
/ chance of learning the cause from this
source.
When the Republique passed over
Moulins, from LaPalssc, she was ap-
parently under perfect control The
explosion occurred within a quarter
of an hour when the balloon was five
miles from Moulins. The explosion
was plainly heard in Moulins.
The Republique had been in CONF
mission but little more than year
and was the pride of the War Depart
| ment.
All four Of the occupants OF the balloon
were dead when the first of the crowd
reached the scene. Captain Marchal and
Lieutenant BeuX were terribly mangled.
Bye witnesses Of the accident say that
the balloon fell TO the ground within a
minute after the explosion. For "a mo-
ment. it seemed to pause in the air, then
IL shot to death with frightful rapid
ity.
Tho Repubique is the second hrst-class
army dirigibe that has been lost the
other being the Patrie which broke away
from two hundred men, who were trying
to hold it during a storm and was carried
out TO sea. The destruction of the Re-
publique leaves the French army With
out a dirigible balloon worth the name
and places the country at a decided dis
advantages with Germany in aeronautic
experimentation, the latter being par
ticularly active I'm balloon invention.
