The Cheerful Crouch on Economies

The Cneerrul CROUCH on economics.
"Will ever get over thinking 1t is
smart to be easily pleased. I go into
butcher shop and am inviegled into
paying a dollar for roast because
well, it is easier than to haggle over
something cheaper, and the butcher
me that it will do for two meals
Then, when l have to exc it out on
the second day with fish or a small
steak, I am reminded that two bouts
of fresh meat would have cost less
and been more satisfactory"
And for dessert | get berries at ten
cents because a pineapple costs
twelve. Forgetting that by the time
I pay five cents for cream to go with
the berries l am two cents out of
pocket! 1
Or perhaps l decided to be econom-
ical and have plain Sunday dinner.
But at the last moment my courage
fails, and (the grocery being closed)
go to the delicatessen shop, and
pay two prices for canned mushrooms
or asparagus. When, by more care
full decision, with less idea of So
called economy, l might have bought
can of peas or had creamed car
rots.
More forethough is what we house
wives need: more attention to detail
in the beginning. And above and be-
yond all, we need have no notion that
it is 'small-minded' to buy with eau
ton; that 1t is 'stinginess' to have
an eye to the pennies. or that it is a
virtue to be easily pleasedw

Liquor viii be Sold at Auction.

London, July 20.-Between 15 and
20 cases Of bottled beer and about
10 gallons Of apricot cider, strong
enough, experts say, to be classed as
whisky, will be sold at public auction
in front Of the court house here next
Thursday by County Treasurer E. 8.
Gordin. The unusualness of the sale
lies in the fact that the county has
voted dry under the Rose county
option law. The liquor was seized in
a raid upon a speakeasy at West JEFF
ferson, the owner of which was
charged with failure to pay the Aiken
saloon tax of $1,000 a year.

feated for Office he has been custodian
of the pest house. where he has dis
pensed beer and whisky freely. When

F. l. Matthews. Announces.

In our announcement column this
week may be found the announcement
for Sheriff of F. L. Mathews of JAS
per, subject to the action Of republi-
can party. Mr. Matthews is well
known to many of our citizens and is
highly respected. He is in business in
Jasper, conducting meat market.
We take the following regarding him
from the Statesman Democrat, pub
lished in his home town:
"Mr. Matthews was born and raised
in Sequatchie Valley, married in Bled-
soc County, and has lived number
of years in Marion County. Wherever
he has lived he has made good citi-

important Office of sheriff. He declares
that to secure either the nomination
or election to this Office that he will
use neither unfair means nor liquor,
and that if elected he will make a so.
Der and attentive officer Mr.. Mat

TOTAL ABSTINENCE
Says FIR. Skinner is a Higher
Form OF Christian Virtue.

Quite number of Sequachee people
have met FIR. Robt. A. Skinner, of
Winchester, Tenn, who is a member
of the order of Paulist Fathers. He is
the gentleman who gave the lectures
on Catholic Doctrine here last spring,
and has addressed the people on the
occasion of the G. A. r. Reunion.
All who have met him have expressed
their appreciation of his mental and
social qualities, in no uncertain terms.
At present he is in Memphis engaged
In mission at st. Joseph's Church,
which is attracting great numbers so
that the church is taxed to hold the
attendance. The Memphis CONNER
cial Appeal has the following to say
about a sermon by FIR. Skinner, which
no doubt will be read with interest by
his friends here, and many others who
appreciate doctrines that save souls.
sin the sermon of the evening the
subject of "Total Abstinence From In
toxicating Drink" was considered by
Father Skinner He wished it to be
understood that be was not preaching
prohibition, nor yet temperance, but
total abstinence, that is, he was urg-
ing the individuals of their own ac-
cord and voluntarily to practice this
higher form of Christian virtue and
abstain entirely from liquor as bev-
erage.
"The reason, said Father Skinner,
why he preached and practiced total
abstinence was threefold: For love OF
country, for love Of church, for love
of human souls. For love of country,
because he saw in the vice of intern
perance one of the greatest enemies of
the country, socially, politically and
religiously; for love of church, because
the Catholic church had often been
grossly misrepresented as countenanc-
ing the saloon business even in its
lowest forms and condoning intemper-
ance in the individual. He wished,
he said, to give the lie to this slander,
because the Catholic church vigorous
ly condemns whatever is sinful in the
use or sale of liquor. For love of hui
man souls, because intemperance per.
haps more than any other sin, is bring
ing ruin and eternal damnation upon
many.
Having thus stated his reason fol
preaching total abstinence, Father
Skinner made personal appeal to al
to become total abstainers. He baseG
this appeal upon the strongest motive
of the human heart, namely, love
Fathers and mothers he asked to be
come total abstainers for the love O.
their children; husbands and wives
for the love of one another; children
young men and women, for the love O
their parents Finally he appealed tt
all in sympathy with Christ's agony o
, thirst on the cross, and out of love fo
their crucified Savior, to become tota
} abstainers.

CAIRO, ILL.,. Nov. 12.-William
James, negro, and Henry Salzner, a
white man, were lynched here by an
infuriated mob of 5000, and more
hangings are to follow as a result of
the murder of Anna Pelley last Mon
day James was killed and burned af-
ter he had confessed the murder of
the shopgirl and implicated another
negro Salzner had nothing whatever
to do with the crime. He was in a
cell charged with wife murder and his
lynching was merely sacrifice to the
mob's blood lust.
The.mob that hanged James was led
by women, many of them the wives of
influential residents of Cairo. The
Tope was pulled tapnt by female rela-
tives of Miss Pelley, aided by several
score of their sex, AS the negro was
pulled mp into the air, these same
women sang and screamed in delight.
The men were for the most part
spectators until the rope that was
strangling the negro broke and his dy-
ing body fell to the ground. Then
hundreds of revolvers flashed and SOC
bullets crashed into the quivering form
Of the negro. The riddled dead man
was then dragged through the princi
pal streets of the city to the spot where
the Pelley girl was assaulted and slain.
Women applied the torch to the bonfire
that had been prepared and into which
the body Of James was thrown Ther
thousands cheered and danced at the
scene.
