Last sunday the people of our
town wer" shocked by report, from

jur"d while engaged in lighting Il fire
that had broken out on tn" public

Blauton received severe bruises on
leg and arm. Later particulars Of
the fire are as follows:
About O'Clock Sunday morning

given. II had been burning some
time before it was discovered, aud
the flames were well advanced and
spread from there to the Schultz
The town has no water
works or fire department, and with
only II mcager supply Of water little
could bee done to stay the flames.
Nearly all the buildings on the west
and south side Of tho square were
destroyed.
The unfortunate men who we're
killed were at work in the back part
of Christoph's drug store carrying
out goods, when the north wall Of
the Keys building fell, crushing in
the Christoph back addition, which

WHAT MAKES HIGH PRICES.

WHAT MAKES HIGH PRICES.
We want to suggest, " says La
Follette's Weekly Magazine, that
you do not lose sight Of the fact
that the tariff law is not the sole
reason why it is harder to make
both enLs meet today than it was
few years ago. There are other
reasons. They may be summed up
in the two wOrds-Spccal Prlvl.
lege, Keep in mind that eXorbitaut
tariff rates constitute one form
aud very pernlclouS form-of
Special Privilege. And then think
Of the control over prices that lies
in all the other forms Of Special
Privilege. There is the private ear
graft, for example, upOn which the
mOustrOus Beef Trust has been
builded. There are the law given
railroad grants, which have enabled
certain lines to take from the gov
eminent millions of dollars worth
of choice lands. There are the
land laws which have made it pos
sible for powerful interests to Sc
cure and hold waterpower sites un.
developed so that power might not
be created upon them to compete
with power already developed, and
thus lower the cost to the con-
sumner.
Scores of examples may be cited
showing how laws are enacted at
the beheSt of powerful private in
terests and designed only for the
selfish purpose of profting these
same interests at the expense of the
public. Special Privilege, in the
main, means the power to control
the prices for service or for goods,
The present tariff law is an instance

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Praise for Dr. Yoakum

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Dr. F. E. Yoakum from Los Angeles is
 in Memphis today and will remain until September F. He is a brother of MT. B. F. Yoakum, the wellknown railroad man. His father was governor of Texas. Dr.. Yoakum was very prominent physician with a lucrative practice. He met with an accident which many physicians thought would prove fatal. He was i'll a
 long time, and they all said his recovery was impossible But he was instantly and miraculously healed by God. He then began to be used of the Lord in healing all manner of disease. He finally gave up his fortune and his practice and opened the doors of his beautiful home, Pisgah, to the rich, the poor, the sick. the af- ficted. the wretched drunkard-to anyone who needed help or healing. Hundreds are cured in body and souls are redeemed. Many go forth rejoicing and others come in.
 Dr. Yoakum also has Pisgah Ark, where fallen girls have shelter and are saved. Then there are Pisgah Gardens, where consumptives are cured. Altogether he dally furnishes lOo0 meals lie mas no money and never asks for any or makes any charge. Maj. Joseph Hardie. who formerly lived here, has known Dr. Yoakum for years, and says that every word of what I have said of him is true That he is a man among men in the highest meaning, and that he is one of the giandest men he ever knew, and so won derfully used of God every hour. I speak of Dr. Yoakum, thinking that some suffering person may go to Memphis and be healed, or else some good nfiuen : tal people will arrange for his coming to our city if he can give us a few days. An! What blessing it would be to so many! MRS. JOHN WHITE. Highland Avenue, Birmingham, Septem- Der 2. 1910.
