DISPLAY OF COTTON,
TOBACCO, CEREALS

Knoxville, June 26.-The Southern
railway will make an attractive exhib-
it showing the agricultural, forest and
mineral resources and manufactured
products of the southeast at the Appa-
lachian exposition to be held at Knox
vile, September II to October l, 1911.
This exhibit will contain handsome
displays of cereals, cotton, tobacco,
legumes, vegetables and fruits, and es-
pecial attention will be given to forest
products and manufactured specimens
of woods. The exhibit will show in a
comprehensive way the possibilities
and advantages of the southeastern
states and should prove powerful adj
vertisement for the section, as large
numbers of visitors from points outside
the southeast are expected at the eX-
position.
At the same time, the exhibit will
serve the very useful purpose of calling
the attention of the people of the south
to the great opportunities which exist
in their own country. This is feature
which the management of the Southern
railway considers of the highest impor-
tance, as nothing can have more
powerful effect in discouraging emil
grafton from the south to less favored
sections than thorough knowledge of
the south and the many reasons which
make this the best section of the coun-
try in which to live and prosper.

Nashville, June M.-The jury in the
case of the state against f. q. Good
pasture, charged with attempting tc
bribe Representative J. Q. Mcdonald,
of Overton county, this afternoon re.
turned verdict of not guilty.
Following a trial lasting through
three days, the testimony in the case
was finished this moIning at 10o'clock.
The defense announced that they would
let the case rest without argument. To
this the state agreed. Judge Neil ad.
journed court for an hour to allow the
defense TO submit written theory OF
the case. Shortly before l o'clock he
finished his charge, which was brief
in its nature. After being in consulta
only SIX minutes, the jury reported as
above.
At the conclusion of the reading OF
his charge, Judge Neil was requested
by the defense to instruct the jury that
the attempt to commit bribery could
not be proved by 1.-The unsupported
statement of the prosecuting witness
alone. He included instructions to
this effect IN his charge.
When the verdict was given by the
jury, Goodpasture shook the hands of
the jurymen and was congratulated by
a number of his friends.

DR.. ALLISON'S LEG
,TURE WAS A GEM

DR.. John Lee Allison's lecture OF
the 'Fine Arts" at the First Presby
terian Church on Tuesday evening wa
a gem. Some weeks ago we laughed
aud wept under the power of expression
of Bishop Nm. Quayle's lecture or
"Sydney Carton" we marvelled at tht
historical minuteness and forcefu
presentation of the character and life
of Lee and of Jackson, by DR.. Vending
we listened spellbound to the logical
power and deeply studied biblical
chronology of Bishop Hoss; and in the
same breath with the mention of these
well-known speakers, we must mention
DR.. Allison, a lecturer of excellent adj
dress, forcible expression, deep thought,
ideas well-connected and beautifully
expressed.
Dr. Allison embraced as the divisions
of the lecture of fine arts of sculpture,
painting, poetry, architecture and
music, and illustrated as the sixth fine
laboratory. A mere mention of some
of the great creations in the world OF
art and their creators, will give an idea
of the interesting and instructive
manner in which the subjects were
presented: the immortal statues the
Venus de Milo, the Appolle Bellvedere,
Niobe and her Children, the Dying
Gladiator and Michelangelo's 'Moses;'
such paintings as Angeles Last Jndg-
ment, Raphael's TRANSPORTATION,
Reuben's Descent from the Cross,
Milet's 'Angelus, were not only men.
toned, but masterfully described Co
inS into the realm of poetry, the list OF
masters was begun with Dante, Goethe,
Virgil, Milton, carried down through
the history of rythimcal beauty by
Pope, Longfellow, Tennyson, Byron,
Poe, to Lanier: and, as it were, again
seemingly touching the harp of old
King David, the King of Israel and
the Emperor of Poetry.
With architecture, DIR. Allison dealt
historically, and almost wholly with
church architecture; tracing the chara-
ter and influence of the buildings for
worship from the old dark cell-lined
monastaries, through the more impos
ing bespired structures built at the
time of the crusades, and the everlast-
ingly beautiful structures of the middle
ages-the only gift of the Middle Ages
to the world of Art-down to the
brighter, imposing edifices of today.
The most eloquent and perhaps the
most entertaining portion of the lecture
dealt with Music, the Queen of the
Fine Arts. We will not attempt to re-
view this portion of the lecture-to do
justice to DR.. Allison, we could not.
To enjoy his "reminiscences of the
masters, his description of music's
power and influence, his classification
of its varied forms, one must hear his
own description.
Those who heard Dr. Allison were
fortunate. Those who did not were
foolish. Several excellent musical
were featured in the even
ing's entertainment, consisting of a
selection by the Appalachian Male
Quartette, bass solo by Mr.. Cooke,
and duet by Miss Anna Barlow and
Mr. Robert Lyle, with Miss Mary Lyle
as accompanist. All of the numbers
were well selected and well rendered,
by true musical artists.

And now we want to thank you
For coming to our hall,
For being so attentive,
We thank you, one and all.
We love to talk of Easter
And the beautiful Eastern thought,
OF the glorious immortality
That Christ our Lord has bought.
Suppose there'd been no Easter,
And Christ had never come,
No sacrifice on Calvary,
No rising from the tomb.
For us there'd be no heaven,
No hope beyond the grave;
Oh, are we truly thankful
For all that Jesus gave.
But hasn't Jesus told us,
In words that are so plain,
po0ansa Ho Hio1 onA roCa fo ,,e
We, too, can live again?
The way to heaven is open,
oh, can you still refuse,
To take Him as your Savior,
You yourself must choose.
If only we'll accept Him,
And take him as our guide,
He'll never, never leave us,
He'll be always at our side.
0, do not live without Him,
Take Him as your friend,
You neel Him as your Savior,
He'll keep you to the end.
And may each Easter find us,
Nearer and nearer heaven,
And may we be more thankful
For the wonderful gift God given.

GRANCY, is LOUD IN HIS

THINGS FOUND IN THE HOTEL

A rather remarkable incident in
the peculiarities in human nature
were brought to light, when Albert
o. Smith was arrested for vagrancy
last evening Smith is a rather tall
man with a shaggy beard, matted
locks and a peculiar piercing, though
subdued look shines from his weasel
eyes. He stood shuffling from one
foot to the other until the Judge
asked, where do you live"
Across the river"
But where?"
"Oh, anywhere that 1t is dry"
where do you eat?" was next
asked, and court and spectators
showed there surprise when the an
swer came.
'At the Marion Hotel"
The court instructed the prisoner
in the various degrees of perjury
and then repeated the query, which
brought the astonishing answer:
Yes, judge, you don't know what
good things you can find in the swill
| barrell"
Further inquiry brought out the
| facts that Smith had been in Salem
without working since hop picking
time, and that he had been "eating
at the Marion" all the while. In
fact, when he was apprehended, he
was in the act Of squeezing the juice
from a piece of meat, and placing It.
beside couple Of pieces of bread
that looked perfectly good to him "
When he was given a reprimand
by the court he said that he didn't
much mind having lived as he had,
or that he had been arrested as a
vagrant,, but with fearful eloquence,
he requested the Judge to look into
/ the matter and see why his wife had
| left him, and was now suing for a
divorce.

is very much appreciated by Salem
people, because IT Is within a block
of the Oregon Electric railroad, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams, for the past
year with the Hotel Marion at Salem,
have made many Salem friends. A
Portland paper has this TO say about
the new management:
Mr.. Williams was for years assO-
ciated with the Touraine at Buffalo,
and with the Marion at Salem, and
has hosts Of friends among the trav-
cling public, who appreciate him not
only as a good fellow, but as a thor
oughly conservative, competent and
refined type Of man. He has TO his
credit many years Of hotel experience
He considers the hotel business
science and places a premium on
courtesy and efficiency. He has de-
veloped the faculty OF making a man
feel at home, which trait has a de-
cided bearing on his popularity. and
is reflected in the attitude Of his en-
ployes.
There is no reason why, with such
a fine hotel property as the Bowers
to start with. this young man, com
blning the sagaclty and conservatism
of experience and the untiring ener-
gy Of ambition. should not make a
4 grand success Of this house. Personal
application and a close study Of the

guests has boosted Mr.. Williams this
high on the ladder OF success. and
