Can't be NaturaliZed.

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 11.-Saloon-
keepers, barte4ders and all others
whose business is to sell intoXicants
in Tennessee, were declared ineligi-
BILE to citizenhip in the United States
in ruling announced by Judge John
E. Mccall in the federal court to-
day.
Summarizing, Judge Mccall said:
''No man can support the consti-
tuition of the United States and of
the State of Tennessee and uphold
the laws of both, as they are requir-
ed to do under oath in securing natu-
ralization papers, and at the same
time engage in the unlawful voca-
ton of selling liquor in a State
where it's sale is prohibited by law. -
For this reason Judge Mccall re-
fused the petition of Filippi Vanni,
an Italian, and George Congios, a
Greek. The former, it was shown,
was engaged as a bartender and the
latter in the general sale Of liquor.
Others whose means of livelihood
were said to be similar withdrew
their petitions.

Dining With a Lioness.

Miss Ellen Velvin, in the Febru-
ary McClure's, speaks of the excess
i've danger to the trainer that lies
in many of the tricks performed with
trained lions.
"Another trick was one in which
the trainer took long strip OF
meat, put one end of it in his
mouth, and let the lioness take the
other in hers. Hardly anyone in
the audience realized the terrible
danger. of the act. To allow any
wild animal to put it's face in such
close proximity to the face of a per-
son is in itself dangerous; but to
give it also the opportunity of snap
ping or biting at such close quarters
is, in my opinion, foolhardy.
'This act generally passed off
very quietly and it was not particu-
larly popular with the audience, but
one evening when the lioness was
in bad humor she missed catching
the other end of the meat and in
stantly sprang for the trainer. The
table between them probably saved
his life, and he had the presence of
mind to throw the piece of meat
away from him; but even then she
tore his throat and nearly killed
him. Few people in the audience
realized that there had been any ac-
cident at all, so quickly was the act
ended and both the trainer and the
lioness out of the arena"

SPOILED CORN SEIZED.
Damaged Grain Reported~from Sew
eral Sections.

Shipments of spoiled corn to South
Carolina have been held up by the
feedstuffs department of the State
department of agriculture. The de-
partment was Wednesday notified by
consignees in several sections Of the
State that car load lots of corn in
damaged condition had been re-
ceived. Commissioner Watson, upon
the receipt of the messages, rushed
inspectors of the department to
make an investigation.
t'The law will be vigorously en-
forced" said the commissioner, "and
it is very probable that several OF
the cars of corn will have to be de-
stroyed." Samples of the corn sent
to the department showed it to be in
a decayed condition. The corn is be-
ing shipped here from without the
State. The spoiled corn problem has
afforded great deal of annoyance
to the department.
The department has had careful
botanical and other analysis made
and. has succeeded in identifying the
fungo formed in the heart of the
heated, damaged corn, and has es-
tablished good many other points
which enable the men with the de-
partment to identify the corn that is
dangerous to men and animals. The
commissioner will not permit the
corn to be shipped out of the State.
Ten samples are drawn from each
car.

An Invidious Inquiry.

It is related of the president of a
famous college that at one time he
allowed his wife to persuade him of
the uselessness of fire insurance on
household goods, and he allowed his
policy to lapse. But, better judg-
ment asserting itself, he finally re-
newed his insurance. The same day
a fire in his wife's rooms destroyed
some of her dresses, which the pro-
fessor enjoyed as good joke.
In due time the president of the
insurance company wrote President
Blank this letter:
Dear Mr.. Blank: We enclose
check for $500 paying your fire clsim
under our policy B6007.
81 note in passing upon these pa
pers that the policy went into effect
at noon, December 10, and the fire
did not occur until 3 p. m. Why the
delay?"- Circle Magazine.

Advertising Agent Arrested.

Charlotte, n. c., Feb. S.-Geo.
w. Lamance, a representative of the
Burton Advertising agency of Allan
ia, was arrested here to-day by Dep
uty Marshal Harkrader of Asheville
on the charge of using the mails to
defraud and at a preliminary hear
ing held later was bound over to the
Federal courts Of Georgia to answer
to the charge. The arrest was made
on complaint of county officials from
half dozen Southern States to the ef-
feet that they had received letters
from the Burton Advertising agency
requesting the names of the register
ed voters of their respective county,
for which tn Att anita concern prom
ised to pay $3.50 per thousand. In
compliance with the request the
names were furnished but payment
from the concern was not forthcom-
ing, and recently the Atlanta post
office has been returning to the
writer's letters addressed to the
agency. The government showed
that Lamance had in his possession
lists of names from Georgia and
elsewhere which he had disposed of

Good Business Policy.

In this day of overturning, when
the misdeeds of people in places high
and low are being exposed to public
gaze, it is refreshing to hear bit of
business honesty which from the very
casual manner of it's coming to light
is evidence that much testimony of
the same sort exists if people were
at the same pains to exploit honest
dealing as they are the other sort,
says a writer in The Christian Sci
ence Monitor, who then goes on to
illustrate by this incident:
"A gentleman stepped into ha-
berdasher's shop, where soft hats
were for sale. He had never worn
one of the sort and was long time
picking over those offered by the at
tendant, a friendly, freckled-faced
youth. Hats at four dollars were
submitted one after another, but the
salesman shook his head with pro-
fessional disapproval over each.
81 don't like you in that" he said
again and again, or '*That is not it"
Finally quite another lot of head
wear was resorted to, and a hat set
on the shoppers head which brought
quick nod of assent from the young
critic. ''That's the hat for you," he
said with a conviction which sent the
patrons hand to his pocket. He knew
it was the hat, whatever the price.
And here is the point of the story,
for the price was just two dollars.
The young shopman valued his GUS
toner above the extra dollar or two.
That purchaser never forgot, and ten
years thereafter, while the freckled
youth grew to rotund smiling man
hood, that particular salesman in
that particular shop chose all that
gentlemans "smallwear."
Now this kind of occurrence is
more common nowadays than it was
ten years back. The application of
expert methods has proved to busi-
ness people that to do the kind and
considerate as we'll as the exactly
just thing by any patron, is the way
to prosper. Where once few mer-
chants would give back a buyers
money for returned article, now
most good stores do this as a matter
of course. This is kindness, refus-
ing to hold another to a bargain
which he-and often she-would
wish to withdraw; and it is also
good business policy.
In many ways like this the power
of the higher ideal is proved. It is
not only right to do right but to do
right brings better things for every
body.

BOY SHOT BY BOY.
jealousy Said to Be the Cause OF
Shooting.

Aiken, S. c., Feb. 9.-Will Carter,
a young white boy about II years OF
age, lies dangerously wounded at his
home in Langley, the victim OF case
of jealousy. Another young white
boy. Walter Cowens, about 16 years
of age, is in the Aiken jail, charged
with the shooting.
From the information that could
be gathered this morning, it seems
that Walter Cowens and Will Car
ter were paying attentions to the
same young lady, who was about
their same age, or younger, and that
Cowens, taking exceptions 10 the at
tention being paid her by Will Car
ter, shot Carter in the back.
Cowens boards at the home of Mr..
Palmer, in Burnett town, and it was
at this house that Carter was call
ing. He started there last night
and" about 8 O'Clock opened the gate
and started i'm when Cowens seeing
him coming, picked up a shotgun and
fired at Carter. The load took ef-
feet in the side and back. Carter
was only about 10 yards from Cow
ems when the shot was fired, and the
wound is a very serious one.
Cowens becoming frightened at
what he had done fed and was To-
Gated in Bath by Rural Policeman
Busbee and brought to Aiken and
lodged in Jail.
Cowens in jail here to-day was in
terviewed, and he hardly knew what
to say about the shooting. He says
that Carter had been threatening
him for the past few days, and that
on Tuesday night had made threats
at him, as if to draw his pistol.

w. Goethals, chairman of the 18th
mian Canal commission, and chie1
engineer of the Panama Canal, by ar
rangement with the house of repre-
sentatives to-day, will address that
body Monday night, describing the
progress that has been made in the
construction of the waterway. Mem
bers of the senate will be invited to
attend.
The need for immediate action by
congress towards fixing the rates
that shall be charged vessels, was
impressed upon the house committee
on Interstate commerce to-day.
Col. Goethals supported the Mann
bill, recently introduced, which pre-
sents the administration ideas OF
what tolls should be. He said the
canal would be completed by Septem-
ber, 1913, that it would practically
take the Tehuantepec Railroad out OF
business and that the shipping inter
ests of the world must have at least
18 months to reconstruct their
ocean rates upon the basis of charges
imposed at the canal.
Col. Goethals said that the canal
would be completed well within the
limit of cost of s375,000,O00-prob.

A Frenchman was teaching in a
large school where he had reputa-

some queer mistakes.
One hot day he was taking a class
which was rather disorderly. What
with the heat and the troublesome
boys he was very snappish.
Having punished several boys and
sent one to the bottom of the form,
he at last shouted out in passion:

NEGRO SHOOTS BROTHER

Otto Criss, a negro, was shot by his brother, Chan Criss, at Bates vile Saturday night. Chan and his wife had been having trouble and he e'started out in search of her with gun. Finding her on the street, near the negro Methodist church, he attempted to shoot her. His brother, Otto, threw himself between the irate husband and wife just in time to receive the full discharge from the gun in his right thigh, the shot going clear through his leg and lodging in the left. The wound is a dangerous one, but is not considered as nec- essarily fatal.

PREACHER POUNDED

Editor Journal.-On Friday night as the writer and family were sitting quietly about the fire side, we were disturbed by a con- siderable crowd about the parson- age, which proved to be a pound party, led by the good ladies of Sulphur Rock, followed by men, boys, girls and children. They brought many of the necessaries of life that were much appreciated by the family. We trust to be able to give them better service in the future than in the past. May the blessings of the Lord rest upon all.

DOES HE REnEMBER?

MT. Editor.-Rev. James Jerni- gan, telling of the coon hunt in company with his brother, Isom Bllbery and Bob Griffin, in The Journal a few days ago, brings tc memory other things that the preacher has figured in. I wonder If he still remembers back in 1869 while his father was teaching school at old Shady Grove church how he and Cal Austin rolled each other in the snow until they were as wet as drowned rats? I remem- Der 1t very well, and thought such playing was on the extreme. The boys were pretty well matched, physically, and neither would give way to his antagonist until each was almost completely exhausted. It was fine fun for us little fellows who looked on, but for the boys it was rather rough play.

Laxative Sent
 Free to Try

It may be taken for granted that there is no family of any size that goes very long without needing lax ative. If you don't know of a good laxative, or the laxative you are using is losing its effect, we want to sail your attention to Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which, thousands of families are using successfully.
 We have scores of letters from moth- CTS, and scores from prominent men saying they are using 1t personally and giving it to their families. men like Mr. c. K Smith of the Traffic Clearing House, Pine Bluff. Ark. and Mir. George B. Turner, a lawyer of Harlan. Ky. The thousands of mothers who use it them selves and give it to their children would take too much space to mention.
 The reason they prefer Syrup Pepsin IS IS that It is a mild. gentle laxative tonic that does not gripe-effectfye and yet so mild that babies can take if It's tonic ingredients invigorate the body and strengthen the stomach and bow ei muscles so that they again do their victim of salts, pills and strong cathar- tics you will discard them when you once use Syrup Pepsln.
 You can buy a fifty cent or one dol Tar bottle Of any druggist, but before doing so you may want to try 1t free If so. send your address to Dr. Cald- free sample bottle. Then. being con vinced, do as others are doing and buy 1t in the regular way of your fayorite druggist. sS
