DIR. ELKOURIE DEFENDS CLUB
Thinks Man Who Made Such Attack AS That of J. Thomp Is Unworthy to Be Governor
 of Alabama
Communicated

If there were no other reasons for which all of the democrats of Alabama should vote against Joseph O. Thompson than that of the malicious insnuations cast upon the membership of the Young Mems Good Government club in his statement, which Is herein reprinted:
 Nothing could more apty illustrate that for which he stands than that, in his closing speech here, he should address a club organized solely for the express pur- pose of defeating the efforts of the moral. lava biding people of this community to suppress the sale of intoxicating liquors in this state. Before such club Emmet o Neal appears with appropriate com pany to encourage that club in the work for which 1t was organized and Is main tained."
 This one reason is amply sufficient to show manifestly what character of man is asking for the dignified office of gov ernor of the state of Alabama.

Dickens did not attend church very reg
 ularly, and indeed was called an atheist | by some people. He resented this very strongly, declaring that nature itself was
 an unmistakable evidence of divine head I heard him declare more than
 once that such a wonderful machine as | the earth and heavens, with their regular l ity of change, could not continue to exist
 without an all-powerful engineer.
 Dickens lived close to the people with i whom he came in contact He seemed to love most to mingle with the lowest strata of life While living at Gads Hill
 he made many excursions into the sums I of London. He usually employed cousin
 of mine, a detective of Scotland Yard, to l accompany him on these excursions. He paid the detective 95, or $25, on each trip. 1 My cousin often told me that Dickens seemed to be always zealous to go to the very depths of human depravity. He would visit the lowest places in London and seemed to relish the study of the
 meanest conditions.
 | q asked MT. Dickens one day about his interest in this lower class, and he replied | My friend Brigden, am with these peo- l pie but am not of them
 | Was a Pure Man "Mr Dickens was one of the purest men I ever knew. His sympathies seemed
 to be always with the poor and op- pressed.
 'While at Gads Hill MT. Dickens WIS engaged in the publication of All the Year Round His character sketches in this publication were often pictures of people he came in contact with at Gads | Hill. the John Falstaff Inn and Leather
 Bottle Inn, which latter place was about seven miles from his home on the road a fra-
 quent visitor at the Leather Bottle and
 seemed to like to study the characters that frequented the place.
 He drove a one-horse shay that was

 used in that way l remember that l was
 always careful of what I said and did in
 his presence, fearing his caricature. l An Odd Pet
 When Dickens walked about his house
 or place he was followed by a black
 raven. as black and as ghostly as the one
 that squawked 'Nevermore' in Poes mas
 terpiece. This black raven was Dickens
 only pet and It followed him with the
 faithfulness of dog.
 While at home and in his study the great author dressed in a peculiar long
 smoking coat of some strange black ma teriaI, with long red cuffs and collar. Mir Dickens told me he got the idea for

he walked to the depot, almost mile from MT. Cranford's bank caught train to Carbon Hill, and after transactlng his business there walked seven miles to his home in the northern part of the county. q think nothing of walk of seven or ten miles,, said MT. Brigden. T have never found my limit of outdoor exercise I am sure I could walk 20 miles on a stretch with but little fatigue. I have never used tobacco in any form, use liquors moderately and have always led an active outdoor life. I feel as strong as I did 20 years ago.
 Knew Dickens We'll s'Yes, I lived neghbor to Charles Dick ems at Gads Hill, in Kent county, Eng land, for a number of years. l knew him well He was good neighbor and a good companion. People who did not know him well regarded him as an irritable cad. but did not find him so. It is true he was very peculiar in his ways, but to know him we'll as I did, as a neighbor, was to have high regard for his char acter He had a most lovabe disposition 10 those who came in Close and constant contact with him.
 s'As you know Gads Hill was the scene of Prince Henry and John Falstaffs rob her escapes, depicted by Shakespeare in his Henry ". At the side of the road
 
 Gads Hill. in Dickens day, there stood an old Inn called the John Falstaff. Dickens told me one day that this inn first at tracted his attention to the place. He said that on one of his drives, in his familiar one-horse shay, he drove through Hig- ham the village in which Gads Hill is To- cated. The sign over the door of the inn attracted his attention and he turned back after he had passed 1t little way He made survey of the surrounding scenery and liked the location. he said He later bought the place almost directly opposite the inn. I later leased a place not 100 yards away.
 Garden of London
 'TIigham at that time was in the midst of what was known as the Garden of Y,ondon.' It was surrounded by beauti- f,,l and fertile valley lands, which pro- duced most of the fruits and vegetables used in the city of London.
 "Gads Hill Place. Dickens home, was one of the most attractive in that whole section. The yard was a mass of beautiful flowers, mainly roses. He also bought . rlot of ground on the opposite side of the road, to which he dug subway un- der%the road. This plot of ground was beautifully sodded to grass and was set apart for play ground for his children
 ''Mr. Dickens children spent a great deal of time romping on this play ground I happened to be standing on the road with MT. Dickens one day when the pas

Four Taste Qualities

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Only four distinct taste qualities are dscoverabe by the human tongue s the announcement of a scientist. Sweets and salts, two of the taste qualities, are observable at the tip of the tongue, and in determining whether the white crys- tals be salt or sweet the tip of the tongue unconsciously is used. Sour and bitter favors are the other strictly tongue tastes and can be determined only upon being carried back upon the tongue toward its root, when the sensations will be interpreted to the brain by the edges of that organ Dry substances that re- main dry cannot be tasted, and many things remain tasteless to us, not because they are tasteless, but because they are not soluble in water. Again, spices are differentiated through the eorrelative sense of smell. Holding the nose and chewing raw onion and a raw apple by turns, the gustatory nerves will show little or no difference in the flavor of the two.

governor of New York. As the odds heightened, prices advanced and the ebbs and flows in the odds formed a basis for operations on the stock exchange. For the moment other considerations had to take g. back seat.
 Later on the fundamentals will get back into the forefront. As someone pertinently remarked, there is more vir- true in a $s0O0,0oo crop than in the sue cess of any political party or the de- feat of any of the newisms which may be advanced by the apostles of so-called progressive creeds and deviations from the straight line of sane and sober proce- duro.

tions on a body of citizens because they dared to declare and support a principle they advocated and believed in Is too narrow to be entrusted with the chief executiveship of great state like Ala bama.
 His statement to the effect that the club was organized and is maintained to de- feat the efforts of the moral lava biding people to suppress the sale of intoxieant liquor is absolutely without foundation
 The membership of the club Is com posed of moral and abiding men, and we defy MT. Thompson to prove the con trary.
 The club has the privilege of declaring for and supporting any principle or can didate that will further the interest of good government and promote the welfare of the common people, to which class [ have the honor to belong and in whom am proud and sincerely believe that they are the best people on earth in morals, good citizenship and loyalty.

 The returns that are coming in now show a decrease in gross and also fall ing off in cost of carrying on the busi- ness. Railroads ire practicing economies in many directions, although it would appear that they are spending lot Of
 money in maintenance and that sort of
 thing which might also be saved without serious detrment to plant. This Is giv- ing shippers a good peg to hang the | charge and argument that the railroads are spending money in o1 der to influence | the interstate commerce commission in | the great fight for and against an ad- Vance in freight rates.
 There is just enough to this charge to
 make it effective. The inference from this condition of affairs Is that the rail-
 roads are giving themselves a shade the
 best of it in the matter of bookkeeping and that the transportation companies are in reality in better shape than they try to make 1t appear.

Actual news developments this week have not been of highest importance. The publicity man of the Steel corpora tion came out with another one of his famous canned interviews picturing the condition of the iron trade as being lum- inouslv bright. although advices from the milling centers are directly in contradic- tion of these inspired expressions.
 A particularly impressive part of this interview was the holy announcement tbat the Steel corporation management vas engaged in the manufacturing busi- ness and was paying no attention to mar ket manipulation or the fluctuations in the prices of stocks. This sort of thing may be swallowed by an innocent pub lie but 1t certainly raised a laugh in Wall street where everybody knows that the Steel corporation management includes several of the most active market plung CTS in America, men who are notorious as being desperate gamblers, and who ST ecialize on Steel
 However, if that Sort of output Is the tonic required, the premier publicity agent of the corporation is equal to any demand that may be imposed upon him in this respect He is certainly star performer in handing out the dope.

Speaking of the Steel corporation, i.tis expected that the statement of ton mage on the books. due in two or three days is expected to be very discourage ing. and the public mind has been pre- naved for the bad showing.

Ordered Taken to Asylum.

VIM. Craven, of Lexington. tried in
the Bourbon County Court Wednes-
day on charge of lunacy, was order
ed taken to the Lexington Asylum.
Craven has been confined in the county
jail since July court, where he was be-
ing held to await the action OF the
November grand jury, on charge OF
appropriating and disposing of the
property of another for his own bene-
fit. Craven. it is alleged, in company
with Jack Cooper. hired ia horse and
buggy from the firm of Hickey & Will
son, of Lexington, coming to Paris on
county court day where they disposed
of the horse and buggy to Forrest
Thomas receiving in exchange the
sum of $50 and another horse. The
day following Mr.. Wilson came to
Paris in search of his property, finding
it in possession of Mr.. Thomas, and
warrants were sworn out for the ar
rest of Cooper and Craven. Cooper
was taken to Gust 'dy at Lexington
and Craven was captured few days
later at Winchester. and both were
brought to this city where examining
trials were held. resulting in both be-
ing held to the November term OF court
under bond which they were unable to
give. and were remandedsto Jail. Since
Craven has been confined in the Paris
Jail his wife and child died and it IS
believed that brooding over this and in
connection with his other trouble his
mental faculties became impaired
with the result that after the intro
duction of the testimony of attending
physicians in regard to his mental
condition he was ordered taken to the
asylum by Judge Denis Dundon.
