What appears to be the news that
the Negroes of Nashville and Tennes-
see have longed and desired to well
come has come.
Hon. J. G. Napier, the well-known
lawyer of this city, has received no
tification from Secretary of the Treas
ury MacVeagh to report in Washing
ton to assume the duties of register
of the United States treasury on
March 6 or at his earliest conven-
ience.
For the past year dit has been gen.
orally understood that Mr.. Napier
would be appointed by President
Taft for this important position, but
for the reason that provision for the
care of Hon. W. T. Vernon, of Kan
sas, the retiring register of the treas
ury, has not been made, the appoint
ment was delayed.
Twelve years ago Attorney Napier
became ambitious to become register
of the United States treasury Since
that time he has been offered many
high honOrs at the hands of several
presidents of the United States. All
of these he refused He made formal
application for the appointment Of
register of the treasury under Presi-
dent Mckinley, This was his last eff
fort, the appointment now coming to
him unsolicited.
1t is his present intention to report
in Washington about March Is. How
ever, he has not definitely decided
this point AT least it will not be
later than the fifteenth of the month.
For many years Mr., Napier has
been one of the South's most promi-
nent eXponents of his race and his
appointment to this high Office is no
surprise to those familiar with ma
tional political affairs 1t was by his
own efforts that he acquired the
prominent station in life he enjoys.
Although the possessor of much tai
ent, he has always been extremely
modest and unassuming Gratifica-
cation at the appointment will be
general in Nashville
Some twenty-five years ago Mr.. Ma
pier was elected member of the
WY OOunNhl vi ANeN1lANilASs Dg dppll-
cation he gained a thorough knowl-
edge of the municipal government
and introduced several measures be
fore the city council that were of ben
eft to the city. From city politics he
drifted into state politics, becoming
a factor in the republican party in his
state.
Some years ago he entered the
banking business as cashier of the
One Cent Savings Bank of Nashville.
The confidence in which he was held
placed the banking Institution on a
firm foundation from the very start,
At all times he devoted considerable
time to the practice of his profession
that Of lawyer He is well
known throughout the country.
The citizens are preparing to give
Register Napier a banquet prior to
his departure that will be commen-
surate with the position to which he
has been honored.

LIFE pER|LOUS'
Manufacturers Say Factory
Employment Safer.

New York. May 17-That farm life
is more perilous occupation than
that of the artisan or factory employee
is shown by an exposition of industrial
accident statistics at the convention
OF the National Association of Manu-.
facturers here,
OF the total number of mishaps re-
sulting in temporary disability 1t is
shown that As per cent occur in asri-
cultural pursuits, 9 each in iron and
steel trades and in building operations
and Sl2 per cent in mining.
1t is explained that it is natural that
the agricultural laborer should be es-
pecially subject to accident, for he has
to hmandle teams, machinery and ex.
plosives. and is too much jack of all
trades to be skilled in any one Mod
ern methods also increase the risk oil
the occupation for Canadian records
show that the percentage of deaths in
creased steadily from II per cent In
1904 to 20 per cent in 1909.

Nurse for DR.. Latson Says
His Teaching Salutary.

New York, May 17.-Still pale and
sick but defiant and self-possessed AL
ia Marhevka, the trained nurse who
tried to kill herself with gas after her
employer. soulmate and preceptor, DR..
w. r. c. Latson-her goldman" she
calls him-had shot himself, was
brought from the Washington Heights
hospital and arraigned in Harlem
court on the charge of attempted sui
side. She denied any pledge to die
with her soulmate. -.-.+ 5...
After the girl had made disjointed
statement in her own behalf, magis-
trate Herbert told her that in view of
her admission he must hold her for
special sessions in bonds of $500. He
sent her back to the hospital. a prison
er. until o'clock.
In the meantime a friend of hers,
Harry d. Cue of COG Sixth street,
Brooklyn. had provided bail and on her
reappearance Magistrate Herbert let
the girl go. She left the court in COM
pany of Cue and his wife.
1--WE will give Miss Marhevka a
home with us until she has recovered
from the shock of her recent exper.
fence and has secured employment,
said Cue
Miss Marhevka almost collapsed on
her way to court the first time and af-
ter her arrival there she tainted.
When she had been revived she Dor.
rowed a pencil and upon the back of
an advertising circular she wrote this
statement for publication:
II want to say to the world that my
attempt upon my own life was not the
result of any silly pact with DIR. Lat.
son, nor had it anything to do with
DR.. Latson's teachings. That these
teachings were salutary and helpful
hope to show as soon as am strong
enough to get back to my books, my
work. l can account for my act only
by the fact that l was physically i'll
for many weeks, and that condition

given during this season, one at Earl
ham college and one in Pythian temple
he has amply proven himself to be a
singer of rich vocal endowment, gen.
erous understanding, fine and warm
feeling and thorough training, and one
whose readings are authoritative.
Richmond is fortunate in securing the
services of teacher and singer Of
such capability; and it is but proper
recognition that Mr.. Borriss is to sing

BAD BLOOD.

Is the cause of nine tenths of tho ills
which the human body is afflicted.
The symptoms of which range from
the dreaded contagious blood poison
to the minutest eruption on the skin.
They include rheumatism, catarrh,
scrofula. eczema, erysipelas, pimples,
boils, ulcers, running sores. inflamed
eyes, and enlarged glands down to
sick headache and a muddy or sallow
complexion. The prescription os DR..
Simpson. (the noted blood Specialist
OF Richmond. Ind.) known as DR.. A. B.
Simpsons Vegetable Compound. is the
most powerful Alternative, or blood pur-
ifier, ever known. Its reputation WAS
firmly established few years ago, by
curing apparently hopeless cases, was
certified by county and city officials.
and widely noted by the press; since
which thousands have been relieved
by its use.
Good blood invariably means vigor-
Gus health, and appetite. good diges-
tion. strength, and a clear, healthfcl
complexion. This is assured to all
who try this remedy; it's remedial eft.
fects are apparent with the first few
doses.
DIR. Simpsons Vegetable Compound
| is purely vegetable. and is harmless
as it is effective. 1t Is put up in con-
venient form at one dollar per bottle
and is sold at all drug stores.

Washington May 17.-Senator Reed
Smoot, OF Utah, has presented to the
senate the report of the London Board
of Trade report with working class
rents, housing and retail prices in nu.
merous American cities. Muncie ia
the Indiana city dealt with by the re.
port. Describing Muncie, the report
says that the city affords an interest
ing example OF rapid industrial
changes during recent years. "Out
side the small business center Muncie
has almost rural aspect" says the
report. 1.-The streets in the residential
quarters are all lined with trees on
either side. Dwelling houses of all
classes are almost entirely frame
built. and stand detached on plots thir
ty to forty feet wide.
There is, consequently. no lack OF
space and air, circumstance which
should be favorable to public health

Continuing the report says: 'Ir
Muncie, as in many American cities

a number of occupying owners were
found in the types OF houses alread,

This is most noticeable in the cas<
Of seven-room houses. There are real

MAIN STREET BRIDGE
IS ROTTING AWAY

The inspection of the Doran and
Main street bridges resulted in the
discovery that both bridges are in very
bad condition. Large scales were TAX
en- off the iron sections of the Main
street bridge caused by rust. AS the
bridge has not been painted for nine
years, the rust in many places is a
quarter of an inch thick. 1t means the
gradual wasting away of the. iron
parts, and that some day, if attention
is not paid at once, the floor will go
through. The report will be acted up
on by the board soon.
