Samuel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation of Labor, who
was recently sentenced to one year
in Jail for contempt of court and is
now at liberty pending an appeal, is
today celebrating his 59th birthday.
The famous labor leader was born
in London, January 81, 1850, the
son of Saul Gompers, a cigar maker.
In biography of Gompers APPROX
ed by himself, he says of his father
that he was a cigar maker, an in
dustrious workman, a kind father,
and a man of remarkable memory.
He declares of his mother that she
was a woman of excellent antece-
dents, her parents being highly ed
ucated; and through her influence
on his intellectual and moral life he
was led to study and to seek to bene-
fit his fellowman. He further fills
out his genealogical background by
describing his grandfather as "a
man of philosophical turn of mind,
of extraordinary courage and fear
lessness and well informed through
knowledge acquired by wide travel
in Europe
Mr. Gompers has the appearance
OF Jew, altnOuSn MS family SpFdHS
from Holland. But his father name
(SauD would seem to bear out that
assumption, but in none of the avail
able biographical accounts of his
parentage is any space given to the
religious beliefs of either his father
and mother or himself except this
one sentence "He was affiliated with
the Society of Ethical Culture of
New York City, established in 1857
by Felix Adler" A friend writing an
intimate sketch in labor paper
says that Gompers does not belong
to any church. that he is too broad
for creeds or sectarian beliefs.

THE DOCTORS QUESTION.
Advice Against the Use of Harsh

| A doctors first question when con-

| eight per cent of illness is attended
with inactive bowels and torpid liv-
| err This condition poisons the sys-
| tenn with noxious gases and waste
| matter which naturally accumulates
and which must be removed through
| the bowels before health can be re-
stored.
| Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics

Through their harsh, irritating ac-
ton they force a passage through
the bowels, causing pain and damage
to the delicate intestinal structure
which weakens the whole system,
and at best only produces temporary
relief. The repeated use of such
treatment cause chronic irritation of
the stomach and bowels, hardens
their tissues, deadens their nerves.

brings about an injurious habit
which sometimes has fatal results.

FAKE ADVERTISING.

Discussing fake advertising as II
applies locally the Cleburne Enter.
prise says much that is entitled to
general application. That paper says
zone of the greatest injustices
done themselves and the city in
which they live is the patronage of
fake advertising schemes by Gle
burne merchants. There are people
in business in this city who do not
spend $3.50 year with the home
papers, but whenever an outside man
comes along with scheme for an
outside paper, bite off big chunks of
publicity. There has recently been
solicitors working the merchants of
Cleburne for a paper published away
that have been meeting with the
most cordial reception. Merchants
with whom this writer spends his
cash have agreed to take as many
as five hundred copies of this paper,
containing laudatory articles about
themselves and their business. The
ing Cleburne and her institutions,
would be delighted to sell these
people ten copies to distribute, and
even go so far as to give them rates,
but none of them ever subscribe for
more than a single copy of a home
paper, and some of them never spend
papers.
1.-The scheme of these gentlemen
is simply this in nutshell: They
make a man pay for the privilege of
distributing samples of their paper
1t is a fine proposition for them, but
a miserable one for the ones who
bite at it.
There isn't single issue of any
Cleburne paper that doesn't contain
matter worthy of distribution away
from home but almost the only cop
les sent away are done so at the ex-
pense of the management.
These schemes, thoughtlessly
patronized, cost the Cleburne mer-
chants thousands of unnecessary
money, and divert from legitimate
advertising channels money that
could be judicially expended
The Enterprise feels that most of
this money is talked from the peck
cts of the merchants by smooth so
Iicitors, and that the seriousness of
the consequences is not regarded.
Whether this money is spent
with the Cleburne newspapers or
not, the Enterprise feels that the
merchants would be doing very
good thing to organize and agree to
cut out all outside fake schemes
that take so much money out OF Gle
burne and never put any OF II BACK

To Improve Streets.

Huntsville, September S.-(Special. 1.-The city council last night extended its street paving programme to include parts or Clinton and Eustis streets in the busi- ness section. The paving work still ahead of the contractors will keep them busy another year and when the work is fin ished Huntsville will have one of the finest system of paved streets possessed by any town of like size in the country. Suggestion was made that some attention be devoted to the improvement of side walks and an ordinance was passed for paving the walks on East Clinton street. All new Improvements are to be five feet wide in the residence districts, but no good pavements will be replaced at pres ent.

Then he would tell the owners that the clothes were lost, thereby getting clear of any refund. w. H. Pat ten has succeeded in locating some of the jewelry which was taken from the home of J. S.
