Relieve your mind of any idea you
may have that the cheap pianos,
which are advertised in such conyinc-
ing terms, are worth spending money
for. If you buy one you are specu-
latlng with most of the chances
against you.
The cost of making the kind of an
instrument you want is greater than
the selling prices of most of these
cheap pianos-which as a rule are
not good even when new. We do not
mean that you will have to spend an
exorbitant sum to obtain a satisfac-
tory instrument--but we do wish to
caution you against the one sold at
a price at which it is impossible to
give you piano of merit.
Our lowest priced piano is $225.VJ,
it is good and seryiceable and worth
the money. If good instruments
could be sold for less, We would have

Points Regarding the Census.

The census begins April Is and must
be completed in two weeks in cities
and in thirty days in all other areas.
The enumerators will wear badge
inscribed "United States Census,
1910.
The law requires every adult person
to furnish the prescribed information,
but also provides that it shall be
treated confidentially, so that no in
jury can come to any person from
answering the questions.
The President has issued proclaim
alton, calling on all citizens to coop
crate with the Census and assuring
them that it has nothing to do with
taxation, army or jury service, com
pulsory school attendance, regulation
of immigration, or enforcement of any
law, and that no one can be injured by
answering the inquiries.
1t is of the utmost Importance that
the census of population and agricul-
ture in this state be complete and cor
rect. Therefore every person should
promptly, accurately, and completely
answer the Census questions asked
by the enumerators.

TRAGEDY IN FOUNDRY
AT BRIDGEPORT, ALA.
E. J. Byrd Killed by Ben HOl-
land, a Mere Lad--.His
Skull Is Crushed.

BRIDGEPORT, Ala, April 19.-E.
J. Byrd, aged 35 years, a moulder.
sustained injuries at the hands of Ben
Holland, about 18 years old. a helper,
this afternoon. from the effect of
which he died within an hour and a
half Byrd never regained conscious
ness after he was struck on the head
with heavy piece of iron in the
hands of Holland. Holland, although
he had abundant opportunity for at
least an effort to escape, did not try
tn make getaway. going peaceably
to Jail. He probably will be taken to
Scottsboro tonight.
The tragedy occurred Mt the foundry
of the DeLoach Mill Manufacturing
company late this afternoon. From
details available, Holland was in
Byrd's department and the latter or
dered him out. 1t is reported that
Holland not only would not go, but
gave Byrd "back talk. Then, it
seems, Byrd hit Holland and cursed
him. Holland then picked up piece
of iron about two feet long and struck
Byrd on the side of the head, telling
him. 1t was found that Byrd's skull
was fractured.
The dead mans body is now being
held awaiting instructions from a
brother, w. G. Byrd, of Thomasville,
Ga.
Holland is a son of a farmer, whose
place is near Bridgeport. Bryd had

House Burned.

The dwelling owned by A. Burnett,
of South Pittsburg, located in the
lower end of town, burned Sunday
night. The fire was discovered about
twelve O'Clock by Dave Teeters, who
lives nearby. Jim Jones who lives
further off but in sight of the burning
houss. later arrived at the fire, but
neither were able to do anything. Car
los Coppinger, who had been calling
on a lady friend at the home of John
Lawson, also noticed the blaze and
arousing Mr.. Lawson and wife, they
went to the fire, accompanied by Miss
Annie Lawson, and arriving there
found Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Teeters the
only ones on the ground, with the roof
already burned off. The house was
not occupied by anyone, Chas. May
having moved out some weeks before
into his home purchased of Edwin
PRYOR. The fire is thought to be of in
cendiary origin. Very few knew of
the fire till next morning.

Swap Gophers for Whiskey.

A reciprocity in commerce, agree
able to both sides has been established
between the farmers of Florida on the
one hand and the farmers of Alabama
ON the other which / think worthy of
notice
1t is a well known fact that some OF
the farmers of South Alabama love
their little drink of whiskey. And it
is a well known fact that some of the
farmers of West Florida love their
gophers, "Florida chickens. But it
is against the law in Alabama to buy
or sell whisky And it is against the
law in Florida to catch or kill .goph-
er.
Yet the law abiding farmers in Ala
bama drink their whiskey, and the
Florida farmers who love them, eat
their gophers. For it is not against
the law in Alabama to catch and sell
gophers; nor is it against the law in
some parts of Florida to sell whisky.
So the thrifty farmers in Alabama
ship their gophers to Florida and swap
them off for whisky. No laws are
then broken and everybody is satisfied.

Doubtless many of our readers have
read of the case where woman ran a
needle in her finger and about twen-
ty years later it worked its way
through her big toe. We have been
told of more wonderful still.
Three years ago a certain pretty
teacher living in the upperpart OF the
county made the mistake OF pinning
her belt with a needle, and the needle
ran into her body and could not be
found.
just the other day it was discovered
coming out of the arm of young man
who was keeping company with her at
the time of the accident. We don
know how the needle was recognized
as the same one unless by the express
sion of it's eye. How it got from the
young lady's waist to the young man S
arm is mystery that battles science.

Shall Our Prohibition Laws Be
Repealed Because They
Are Violated?
Silena Moore Holman

ed tomorrow.
New officials will be elected, and law
enforcement will be the issue on which
they will be elected. Then they will
be enforced as other laws are enforced,
just as sure as civilization is moving
forward and not backward.
No great battle was ever won by
capturing one outpost of the enemy.
One is captured here, another there,
until the entire ground has been won.
In securing our prohibitory law, we
captured one outpost of the enemy.
The next step is not to give up what
we have won because we failed to cap
ture the whole field with one assault.
But rather to move forward another
step by electing the men to Office who
are i'll favor of our laws, and will see
that they are enforced.
The question of prohibition is not a
new one. 1t has passed beyond the ex-
perimental stage. The work began in
the rural communities many years ago
and so we'll has it been done that the
crossroads bar is scarcely known now
in the United States. Then it moved
on to the villages. and 49, 900 villages
are now without the saloons. Then
the battle shifted to the counties, and
out of 2,8S5>, counties in the United
States, 1,729 have outlawed the liquor
traffic, while large sections of the re-
manning 1, ,156 have done the same
thing. Then the battle moved to the
cities There are now $50 dry cities
in the United States ranging in popu-
lation from 175 to 5, 900 each; and 200
of these cities have population OF ov-
er 10, 900 each. Nine whole states have
outlawed the business.
The moral forces of the nation are
now face to face with the liquor prob
lem in the great cities where the fore
es of liquordom have taken their last
stand. 1t is around our cities that the
battle is raging in Tennessee today.
The liquor men consider this pivotal
state Because the Governor and those
in power in our state are with them
they believe they have better chance
to win here than elsewhere, and if
they win they think that they will
turn back the tide that has set in
against them.
But they will not win. It was the
men from the rural districts who gave
us our laws. My faith and hope rests
on the men from the rural districts to
see that men are elected who will re-
tain and enforce them. The state is
the sovereign power No city is great
er than the state, or has right to put
itself outside the laws of the state.
We can not afford to take a back
ward step, or give up one inch of the
ground we have won. We must keep
on until the victory is final and com
plete.
'The faith that keeps on fighting
is the one
That keeps on living-yes, and grow
ing great. -

Mr. Editor:
The papers recently have been full
of exposures of graft on big scale in
some of our American cities. Pitts
burg is the most recent example,
where majority of the city council,
some of them standing high in the So
cial life of that city, are confessed
bribe takers. Chicago, Albany, San
Francisco. furnish other examples OF
the same kind. In San Francisco des-
perate efforts were made to put the
criminals in prison. A city election
was held on the question, "Shall San
Francisco continue the graft prosecu-
tionsS" The result was in the mega
tive. The men elected were opposed
to further prosecuting the criminals
A majority of those voting in the city
thus declared for theft
am wondering why the newspapers
of San Francisco and out of it, do not
lead crusade in favor Of repeating
the laws against theft and bribery in
that CITY. Evidently majority of
those voting in that city election were
in favor of those crimes, and opposed
to the punishment of the criminals.
A majority ought to rule, whether
they are in favor of good measures or
bad, they tell us; and that law that
cannot be enforced ought to be repeal
ed. Ought not theft and bribery to be
licensed in those cities so that they
could be regulated and controlled
At least that is what they tell us in
regard to the laws prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of liquor in the
cities. They say that majority of
the people in the cities are opposed to
them; therefore they should be repeal
ed. And the coming campaign in this
state, for the election of Governor and
legislature, is to be fought on that is
sue.
With us who worked and fought for
these laws through the long years be-
fore we secured them, the questions
to be considered are "Is the liquor
traffic good OF an evil thing? Does
it add to or diminish the sum total of
the wealth of the statef Does it bring
most happiness or misery to man
kind7'' And the answer to these
questions should determine whether or
not these laws should be repealed.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, which represent, together with
tens of thousands of other good women
in the state, and the best manhood of
the state, stand eternally opposed to
licensing. legalizing and protecting
vice of any kind by law, or of states $
drawing revenue from the vice of it's
citizens.
If these laws are not enforcad it is
not because the officials can not en-
force them, but because they will not
enforce them. do not believe for
moment that majority of the white
citizens of any city in Tennessee are
opposed to our prohibitory laws. That
the laws are not enforced today, does
not mean that they will not be enfolc-
