SOME GOOD ADVICE FOR YOUNG MEN.

h
PIT. Barnum, the great circus man years ago gave
the following advice:
when you find that you have no surplus at the
end of the year. and yet have good income advise
you to take few sheets of paper and form them into
book and mark down every item of expenditure.
Post it every day week in two columns-one headed
necessities or comforts and the other 1uxures'
and you will find that the latter column will be
large and often double and treble the former"
Barnum had in mind the man who lives up his
salary before he gets it.
There are hundreds Of young men who are al
ways in debt more than weeks wages for stuff that
does them no goodthat they could have done without
Remember this-that you are under obligations
to the man you buy goods Of till you have paid
When you go in store and make purchase and
tell the merchant to charge it. don't walk out of the
place with bigotted swagger you had done the
merchant big favor Don't get that idea in your head
The fact is, he is allowing you to walk off with
his goods-that's the point-they're his-not yours
and if you like lot Of people, BY the time you get
them paid for and they in reality become yours, they
are worn out. So that you never have really owned
them-because they were the merchants till you got
them paid for, and by that time you had worn them
out and thrown them away, so that they did not be-
long to anyone.
Debt is a necessary factor in the commercial
world but is just the thing that the working on
regular salary wants to avoid.
There are young men who have been for years
drawing good salary, and yet they owe everyone
that they can borrow from.
Are you one of that class?
Do you figure out how much you can buy with
what you going to get next month, and then stop
buying before you have spent all your income? The
man of whom you buy tell to "charge it, has to
stay inside of his income the sheriff will get him.
The point you want to bear in mind is, that when
you go in store and make purchase and pay the
money for it, there is no obligation either way the
man who takes the risk of loss is accommodating you
in selling the goods to you much you accom-
modating him in buying them from him. You ask for
them he furnishes them, and you can't expect him to
do It for nothing.
He has taken risk in buying stock and fitting
up store in order that you may be accommodated
when you want to make purchase
But what we want you to do is to get little book
and put down in it for three weeks every cent you
spend-do not put down only what your wife spends
or what you give your mother but put it all down
everything that you give spend or put in the bank
Then at the end Of three weeks, look it over and you'll
find out where your wages went
Pay your bills you 60 for three weeks-and
do not buy what you can't pay for.-Try it.

FOUR MORE BODIES TAKEN FROM MINE
  Believes That These Are the Last That Are to Be
 Recovered

According to reports from Banner four more bodies were taken from the mine yesterday morning and 1t Is be- lieved that these are the last that will be found owing to the thorough work of the rescue parties who searched the mine for the bodies.
 Owing to the thorough work of the rescue party under Dr. J. A. Holmes, head of the national bureau of mines, the mines were cleared of bodies in a very short time. The party with Dr.. Holmes remained in the mines seven hours and a half and located every body possible. This in a large meas ure was responsible for the quick work of removing the bodies.
 There has been considerable spec ulation in regard to the cause of the explosion and the official report of State Mine Inspector James Hillhouse is awaited with interest. However, 1t will probably be some time before he Is able to make it as he is i'll at present as a result of his strenuous work at the mine.
 Coroner B. L. Brasher will go to Banner tomorrow and hold the, official investigation into the disaster.

FATHER TEST|F|ES
 AGAINST HIS SON Aged Witness Declares Ken
 nedy Shot First
PEARCE ON THE STAND
On Cross Examination Pearce Admits That He Killed Sarge Kennedy When the Boy Shot at
 His Father

| Anniston April Especial )-While other witnesses were introduced during the morning in an effort to impeach Leon Dyer. the star boy witness, and to discredit his story of the killing by | proving that he could not have been an witness to the tragedy, the fea- ture Wednesday in the trial of Dr. John E. Pearce, feudist and alleged leader in conspiracy to kill Shelt and Sarge Kennedy, was the testimony of "Beave" or Bill Kennedy. the aged father and grandfather of the dead men.
 This witness furnished the novel sight of a gray-beared octogenarian and ex-Confederate soldier testifying against his own son, and it was one of the most interesting sessions of the entire trial. In the voice of a genuine backwoodsman, the aged feudist re- lated the story of the approach of the Pearce caravan to the obstruction in the road where Shelt and Sarge Ken nedy awaited the party and where the | shooting occurred.
 1 The voice of the old man was clear and resonant, and he Is regarded as having made the best impression of any witness yet introduced by the de- l fense telling a strong story. He stated emphatica1ly that his son, Shelt Ken nedy whom Dr. Pearce says the aged witness would have brained with an axe had he not interfered, fired the first shot at the beginning of the pitched battle, and that Dr. Pearce only fired on his son in se1f-defense.
 Frequently during the trial, however. the mind of the defendants alleged colleague seemed to be wandering, and there was a slight falter in his voice, but if he felt any emotion at the death of his son, he kept 1t well hidden, and it would have been discovered only on close observation,
 | Tremendous crowds continue to throng the court room at every sitting, taxing the capacity of the large audi torium, the gallery and part of the hallway. Judge s. w. Tate leading counsel for the defense, stated Thurs day afternoon that while he had hoped to turn the case over to the solicitor | for rebuttal by Friday morning, it is | likely that the defense will keep the case until about Friday at noon, and it will be the end of the week before the attorneys begin their arguments. | ing was closed today with the case | still in the hands of the defense, Dr. John E. Pearce himself being the last l witness on the stand. His story was | about the same as that of other wit nesses for the defense, claiming that Shelt Kennedy fired first and he acted in self-defense.
 | Cross Pearce, son of the defendant. admitted this. afternoon that he shot Sarge Kennedy, son of Shelt Kennedy. He said he shot him in the side while he was in the act of firing at his l father. The state claims that young l Kennedy was shot in the back.
 Other witnesses were introduced, old man Kennedy becoming rebellious un- der cross examination. An interesting fact brought out by the state was that there was but one axe In the Pearce 1 caravan with which to clear the road for the wagons, while there were about I15 weapons.
