SIN KILLER GRIFFIN
PAYS LAWYERS IN DIMES.
Attorneys for Negro Evangelist Get
Part of Collection Taken in
Revival at Oklahoma.

If there is a shortage of small
change in Oklahoma the blame
should be placed on Sin Killer Grif-
fin, the negro evangelist. who had a
case on call in the district court of
WaXahachie Monday, for Sin Killer
brought liberal amount of it with
him to this city and left 1t with his
attorneys, Bowd Farrar and John d..
McRae, as part payment of their fee
for representing him in the court
After the case had been disposed of
Sin Killer accompanied his lawyers
to their office to pay them for their
services. The amount rendered the
lawyers included a hat full of dimes,
which were no doubt part of Sin
Killers collection taken in a revival
he was conducting in Oklahoma City.

INCOME TAX Is BEATEN.


Arkansas, West Virginia and New
Hampshire must be added to the list
Of states which in one legislative
branch or both have refused to APP
prove the Federal income tax amend

the amendment, the others being
Louisiana, New York Connecticut,
Virginia and Rhode ISLAND.
The rejection Of the amendment by
twelve states will kill it, and count
ing as against IT the states Which
have deliberately refused to consid-
err the amendment, II is beaten al
ready. However, some of these
states may yet approve and even
those who have turned it down ma
reconsider Still, as inaction is as
fatal as adverse action, the prospects
Of the amendment getting through
are just now not very bright.
The Northeastern states, which
would have to pay much the larger
share of the tax do not take it,.
while some Southern states oppose
it because Of its apprehended inter
ference with state taxation. 1hey

Ar army of men, las the saying goes. certainly enough to fill two ordinary regiments. worked night and day on the many and various tasks required thus to break the rec ord of time for an ocean liner in this port.

THE GREAT WALL OF ENGLAND.

Directly across the north of Eng land between points near Carlisle anl Newcastle, ran Hadrian's wall. the nor thern boundary of the Roman Empire. It is generally supposed to have been erected by the Emperor Hadrian. be
 tween IF and 13S A. D. The wall was of stone and was eight feet thick and twelve feet high. It was guarded by eighteen military stations. garrisOned by cohorts of Roman soldiers, and at intervals of a mile were forts, built to contain eighty men each; between every two forts were four watch towers. South of the stone wall was a series of earthen ramparts, and be- tween the two ran the great military road still in use as highway. Of this vast work comparatively few portions remain, a matter of wonder, perhaps. when one sees the solidity of the sec tions of the wall which still stand, but easily explained by the fine stone walls in the imemdiate vicinity.
