PREACHER Did NOT
PAY DOCTORS BILL
Because the Doctor Was Behind
With Church Dues and Servic-
es Were Worthless.

Owensboro, KY, Feb. 10.-In the
action of Mrs. Sarah Il. Heavrdnp ex-
ecutrix of the estate of DIR. ]. P. Heay-
rim, against Rev. W. ID. Nowlin, some
harsh things were said in the circuit
court DR.. Nowlin filed a pleading
that the services rendered him by Dr..
Heavrin were not worth more than
$50 and that THE $50 which he paid
over the protest OF the physician salts
fled the entire claim. The pleading
further stated that DR.. Heavrin was be-
hind in his church dues and the rule
of the church about excluding delin-
uuent members was not enforced
against him because he was doing the
practice of DR.. Nowlin without charge
Ii was further stated in the pleading
that the physician was addicted 10
the morphine habit, and therefore dn-
stead of the services he rendered be-
ing worth much they were in reality
dangerous to the minister and the
members of his family. He said that
he did not ascertain this condition
of affairs until after DIR. Heavrin had
bugun practice ON his family but There
after called him a few times i'm order
not to wound his feelings and had
other doctors in consultation.
1t is further contended in the amend
ed answered that it was not CUSTOMARY
for Greensboro physicians to charge
for services rendered minister
Gilbert Holbrook, attorney for Mrs.
Heavtin, waxed bitter in his argu-
ment agains4 the filing of this plead
ing saying among other things, chat
Vt was perhaps good thing, the
pleading said that DIR. Nowhn was
a minister of the gospel as without
his word for 1t there would be diff
Guilty in Identifying him as such. He
further asserted that DIR. Nowlin by
his own admission found out in De-
cember, 1905, that DIR. Heavrdn was
what he termed "a dope fiend'' and
dangerous, yet he continued him as
his family physician until February
29, 1908. when DIR. Heavrin died. Mr..
Holbrook said that he had never be-
fore suspected that DR.. Nowlin had
such craving for money that he
would risk the lives of his family be-
cause a physician had promised TO
treat them free of charge.

PROHIBITIONSTS To DE-
MAND STATEWIDE LAW.
That Will Settle the Liquor Traffic
Question in the State
For Good.

Louisville, KY. February 1O.-"State-
wide prohibition in Kentucky, is the
slogan of the State Prohibition Com
mittee, which was appointed by Pro
hibitionists at their State convention.
May 3O-S1, 1907, and which to Ken
lucky next" and pointing the way to
Statewide prohibition Chairman H.
w. Davis, of the Prohibitionists-sa
tonight that his party wants no mid
die course. I'VE believe that the time
has come for the submission OF a
constitutional amendment" said he.
In view of the fact that the Ken
lucky Anti-Saloon League meets here
February 1918, and that these two
organizations disagree radically as to
methods which should be pursued TO
bring about a suppression of the Ii
quor traffic, the announcement of Ehe
Prohibitionists at this time is believ-
ed to be meant to forestall any plan
which the An'i-Sa loon League may
contemplate announcing, to the end
that the county unit law be extended
10 cover cities of the first second,
third and fourth classes, which are at
present exempt from the operations
of the county unit law.
Statutory enactment, even if 1t
were constitutional is not to be con-
sidered, for \ it might be reversed at
the next session of the Legislature,
and would not settle the question"
says the Prohibition statement. Con-
stitutional prohibition is BEST but
state prohibition by amy method Is
preferable to a dry state, every coun-
ty carried by local option, If such
were possible, for any one of the 1ls
counties could vote wet again after
three years of dry experience. Thus
1t will be seen that this kind of
prohibition will be 119 times as hard
to hold as statewide"
The paper goes on to advocate de-
luging the Legislature with petitions,
so that they dare not refues to sub
init the question.

a Deputy Warden named Madigan'
who is not only paid by the State. but
has admitted that he has received

bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance tc
cross the continent ~ to 81, warm wave
70 to 80, cool wave 20 to June 2. The
principal features of this disturbance
were expected to be great rise in tenn
perature, warm weather, threatening
and severe weather with probability OF
severe storms.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about June 2, cross Pacific slope
by close of 8, great central valleys 4
to 6, eastern states 7. Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about June 2, great
central valleys 4, eastern states E. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about 5,
great central valleys I, eastern states g.
This will be one of the three danger
Gus storm periods of June and as Sc
we're storms can not now be definitely
located, the best policy is to be on the
alert, especially in sections where such
storms sometimes occur. | expect these
storms to be more severe within day
or two of June 4. | have the storm CEN
ter located on June 4 in the great cen
trail valleys west of the Mississippi riv-
er, but as these storm centers move east
ward from 400 to 700 miles day the
exact location where the dangerous
storms will break can not now be known.
Temperatures will go very high be-
fore this storm center passes and very
low following it. Very cool weather
will drift eastward June S to 10, cross
ing meridian 90 about Z or 8. This fall
in temperature will cause rains as the
high barometer comes in
Three great storm waves will cross
the continent during the FIVE days of
which June 4, II and July will be cen
tral days. Very little harm can result
by So arranging affairs as to be on the
| safe side during the passage Of these
severe storms, while much good may re-
suit. Future bulletins will give etails.
I expect temperatures of June to av-
erage about normal, but they will go to
great extremes as the storm eenters
cross the continent Rainfall of the
month will be deficient except in the
cotton states east of the Mississippi river.

Dodson Times The City Court in
Shreveport has decided that the law
against poker playing in that town is
without effect, having been passed be-
fore the City Council was vested with
authority. However. a number of peo-
pie have been fined under this law. The
city can now pass the law, but as it will
take about sixty days to put it in effect
it is likely the poker players will have a
"pokerfest" in the meantime.

The card following from Mr.. John
Carson, candidate for councilman, is
self explanatory:
TO MY FRIENDS AND THE
PUBLIC.
Since announcing myself as candi-
date for counciltnan-at-large to fill the
vacancy caused sby the resignation of
Mr. Currie, llaSsabeen unable to make
an active canvass among the voters Of
the city and see them personally. I
know there are some men who think
Ithat if their vote is worth having it is
worth asking for and agree with them,
but / hope no one will attribute my fail
ure to call on them in person to indif-
ference on my part. All who know me
are aware Of the fact that I am no poll
tician I can not assume the bland
smile, the suavity of manner and easy
flow of hot air that is the distinguish
Ling characteristic and stock in trade of
the willy politician when he goes angling
for votes. do not consider the posi-
ton to which I am aspiring in the light
of political Office. look on the City
Council more as committee to see that
the business and other interests of the
city are conducted properly and on bus
mess principles, with justice to all
classes of our citizens and special fav-
ors to none. And if I am elected to fill
this important position, it shall be my
earnest endeavor to carry out these
ideas. I believe without any undue fat
terry to myself that can do more to-
wards harmonizing the antagonistic e1e-
n1ents in our City Council, and thus
serve the best interests of the city, than
my opponent can. II / did not sincerely
think so | would withdraw in his favor
l am not the candidate of any faction
Or clique. | have made no promises to
any one, only to do what I think is right
for the best interests of the city to the
best of my knowledge and ability
To the reports that have been circu-
lated that I am the candidate of any
particular faction enter most em-
lphatic denial.
With this brief statement, 7 place my
self before the voters Of Shreveport,
and earnestly solicit the support of all
who are interested in the upbuilding of
the city. Respectfully,
JOHN CARSON.

Peasants Do Much Good Hand wors
Result Is Few Factories. II
Sweden is the home Of the handt
crafts. In addition to manual train
ing taught In schools. the most ex.
quisite hand weaving. lace making
brass work. even pottery. is done By
the peasants. Each district has as
own patterns. which the peasants
make and wear. deeming it unpatriodc
to have aught TO do with patterns Of
other localities.
Because of the handicrafts Sweden
has not many textile factories. says
the Craftsman. although there are
some where conditions of work are,
for the most part, good. The people,
however. are encouraged to continue
hand weaving and to hold to the time
honored industrial customs rather
than to take the risk of a disturbed
economic order due to a market glut-
ted with shoddy trash. In all Sweden
there are to-day only about ten thou
sand factories Of all kinds, employing
in all little more than 265,000 work
men-not great number out of a
total population OF more than 5.000,.
600.
