BEWARE OF THE RAT.

Sarah Hamlin, clerk in a Detroit
hair store, is being isolated in hospit-
al Of that city, a victim of leprosy. The
disease was contracted by making
"rats" and other hair adornments.
Women who wear other women's
hair should be careful. Most of the
hair used in this country is imported.
Much of it comes from the Orient. In
many of the European capitals the
traffic in hair is a shady industry. The
bodies of suicides frequently supply the
demand of the hair merchants. Pau
pers give up their hair, that curls and
frills may be made for people willing
to pay for them. The impoverished
districts and the dead are legitimate
prey of the dealer. In this way most
of the hair which eventually finds its
way to American markets is supplied,
and too frequently this hair carries
with it the lurking germs of disease.
Cancer has been frequently attributed
to it, and diseases of the scalp are
made possible.
The idea, itself, of wearing the hair
of some poor woman who probably
starved to death or killed herself be-
cause of trouble, is distasteful.
Women run continual dangers in
their use of false hair. 1t is in its way
a social abuse, and in self-protection
women should abandon the use of rats
and other unnatural adornments. I'm
til they do they are subject to great
dangers, for the diseases engendered in
this way are nearly always the diseases
of the blood, and some of them are par
ticularly loathsome. Memphis Com

THE SOU1ERN'S HUSTLE.

We recently printed the announce
ment that the Southern railway, get
ting a belated hustle on itself, was 60
ing out in the western territory after
new settlers for the southern country.
There ought to be no trouble now in
convincing our friends of the northwest
that life and property are just as safe
down here as they are in any other
country on the globe. We have the
most delightful climate and the most
arabic lands to be found anywhere, and
the markets are fairly pining for the
vast products our waste lands, inten-
siyely and extensively titled, would
annually yield. If the comforts of life
and adequate recompense for intelli-
gent labor are what the dissatisfied
farmers of the northwest want they
can be found in the central south in
the greatest abundance and for the
minimum of toll. Properly set out in
readable form, and presented with
something of official authority and &C.
curacy, we are sure the Southern will
be able to make the beautiful land of
the south" appear so charming and
attractive to the northwesterners that
the next few years will witness Won
derful hegira from those frozen regions
to the land of sunshine and flowers
Everybody should work to encourage
the Southern to carry out its promised
advertising project effectively. AS a
matter of business pride the manage
ment of the great railroad may, if it
will, accomplish wonders; let us there
fore help to arouse that necessary
pride, and promise for our part to give
that road ample credit for every desir-
able newcomer it locates in our midst.

IS SALVATION
- ARMY DONGs

The Salvation Army stands primari-
" for the salvation of the soul. This
was in the mind of our organizer and
founder, William Booth, who stood
upon an ash barrel in disused cemete-
ry in Milenwaste, England, and pro-
claimed to his first audience, "Salvation
of the soul, am here to help you"
This ministry of the soul is our prime
work, but we find it necessary in our
work to feed the hungry, clothe the
naked and house the poor. Since Capt.
and Mrs. Coy took charge of the army
in this city this part Of the work has
not been allowed to suffer. They have
distributed judiciously nine tons of
coal, several baskets of groceries, a
great many garments of clothing to
poor mothers and children. They have
visited the sick and buried the dead,
which is truly "going about doing
good" They have leased building at
$50 per month for the purpose of hous-
ing the poor. The ladies of our city
have furnished these rooms and a bath
room has been provided by some of the
business men. The home at the present
writing is serving its purpose in caring
for girl who has fallen and has found
christian help and mothers care. The
ladies have made il possible to comfort
this poor lonely heart, whose mother
has long since gone to her reward.
We have not the money to 90 this
much needed work. We appeal to
you to give us your money to further
this work. We thank you in advance
for your support, also We thank our
friends who have aided us and We are
willing to contiue the good work.

NEW PRESBYTERIAN PAPER

| AS an outcome of the litigation grow
ing out of the union of the Presbyterian
and Cumberland Presbyterian church
es, a new Presbyterian weekly, called
the Presbyterian Advance, has appear
ed in the journalistic field.
! The supreme court of Tennessee has
ordered that the publishing house at
Nashville, Tenn, which includes the
Cumberland Presbyterian, weekly
! paper published by that house, be
{ turned over to those Cumberland Pres
| byterians who opposed the union of
the churches. This resulted in a pecu-
liar situation. Since the union, the
Cumberland Presbyterian has been
published in the interest of the united
church and practically all of its sub
scribers, of which it had about 10000,
mainly in the south and southwest, are
Presbyterians. BY the action of the
court, the Presbyterians are now get
ting a paper which is opposed to the
very policies advocated by the paper
for which they subscribed.
DIR. J. +. Clarke has been for a num-
Der of years editor of the Cumberland
Presbyterian. He is an ardent advo-
cate of the union. When the paper
was turned over to the anti-unionists,
DIR. Clarke promptly severed his relation
to it and at once organized company
| to publish new paper for those Pres
byterians who had been subscribers to
the Cumberland Presbyterian, but
would not want it after it passed into
the control of those who opposed union.
The new paper is of The same general
character as was the Cumberland Pres
| byterian and is published at the same
price. DIR. Clarke is the editor and
with him are associated DR.. T. A. Wig
ginton, DIR. f. X. Farr, Rev. w. b
Preston, OF Dallas, Texas, and others
who were on the editorial staff of the
Cumberland Presbyterian.
The Presbyterian Advance, having
no legal right to the list of the old pa
per, has had to start off as an entirely
new venture, but it is said that sub
scriptions are coming i'll at a lively
| rate. DIR. Clarke has become well
known as vigorous writer who pub
lished bright, helpful religious week
| ly. 1t is expected that the new paper
will quickly have larger list than the
old, for large numbers would not renew
for the Cumberland Presbyterian, fear
ing shat they might soon be getting
the very opposite of the paper for
which they paid.
Associated with DIR. Clarke in the
new enterprise are some of the best
known men in the Presbyterian church
among them DR.. b. p. Fullerton, who
was moderator of the general assembly
in 1908, and DR.. Ira Landrith, who was
the moderator of the Cumberland Pres
byterian general assembly which voted
! for union with the Presbyterian church.

Rarely has one man had the distin-

two offices, at the same time, but this
unusual distinction is that of Gov. Pat
terson, and the wishes of his adherents
was recently voiced at banquet of the

of Johnson City. The colonel after a
panegyric lauding the governor to the
skies and placing him on a pinnacle
far above William b. Bate, John G.
Brown and other distinguished govern
or's of Tennessee and comparing him
favorably to Andrew and Andrew

JACKSON CRUMLEY,
A MEM OR.

A landmark has been removed.
Jackson Crumley, Familiarity called
Uncle jack" came of good stock. He
was born in Sullivan county, Tenn,
on the Goth day of September, 1884. lie
joined the Methodist church early in
life. He came to Johnson City about
forty years ago, and to the day of his
death, January 20, 1910, was II worker
in the church and Sunday school, in
his modest way, for he was never loud
nor abusive. When in the city, and
well enough to do so, he was always in
his seat in church and Sabbath school.
Jackson Crumley was a man of sterl
ing character, and never compromised
with wrong, and yet managed always
to give full weight to his opinions on
all questions without producing antag-
onism, for though firm as a rock he
was gentle rs woman.
Brother Crumley was clean of speech.
No coarse nor vulgar word was ever
heard to fall from his lips by those
who knew him best for forty years. He
never spoke evil of neighbor. The
fact is, Uncle Jacks faults were about
as unperceivabie as we have known in
mortal man. He was gentleman; he
was nobleman; he was a christian.
He was Bible student and had an
implicit faith in the varieties of gospel
truth. Ii was in the Sunday-school
where was most active. For third of
a century he was teacher in the Sun
day-school. He became a member of
the S. e. Williams Bible class at its
organization, and was in his place the
last Sabbath, save one, before his death,
even when he was already within the
icy grasp of the "Last EnemyW
He lived right he died right He
lived quietly; he died peacefully. We
miss him, but his works will follow
him. The memory of that lovable
man will be as sweet incense, the rich
est perfume to those who knew him
best. 1t is no ordinary loss we suffer,
but he left us rich legacy.

GO0DELL's APPOINTMENT
Was a Surprise Even to MIR. Brown
lows Enemies First Virginian
Appointed IN Many Years

Bristol, Tenn, Feb. 28.-The appoint
ment of G. E. Goodell, Virginian,
gives general satisfaction here, except
that many of the Tennesseans natural
ly feel disappointed that the president
has set the precedent of dividing the
patronage here with the Virginians,
Notwithstanding the Office is located
on the Tennessee side. The course of
the president in naming a Virginian
was surprise, even to the enemies of
Brownlow, for it was the impression of
Senator Sells and all of his followers
that Brownlow would certainly con-
troll the Bristol office, as he had since
he was first elected to congress.
The Virginians have insisted for
years that they had as much right to
the appointment as the Tennesseans,
for the reason that fully one-half of the
patronage comes from Virginia. And
again, the story is told that when the
office was located on the Virginia side
more than forty years ago, it reached
Tennessee through the clever work of
ambitious Tennesseans, who picked the
office up when it was mere plaything
in Sapling Grove, and carried it into
Tennessee under cover of night.
The only postmaster in recent years
who gave Virginia recognition was A.
&. Harkleroad, who was in charge of
the office during the second term Of
President Cleveland. He appointed
DR.. E. T. Jones, a Virginian, assistant
postomaster.
