him the same day his suit case was
found to contain 40 pint bottles of
whiskey. The same was taken to
Justice Folsom. At first Agnew was
very smart and was going to do ali
sorts of things. He soon discovered
that he could not run any whizzer over
the authorities. He was then willing.
to pay a fine and offered to put up q
small cash bail. This would not work
and Agnew, decided that he would plead,
guilty. Judge Crawford sentenced him
to 90 DAYS in jail. When the sentence

FIRE IN The REPORTER
OFFICE At TAYLOR

Al about 3 O'Clock. Tuesday morning
fire was discovered in the front room of
the Reporter Office at Taylor. By hard
work the flames were kept we'll within
the room. and it is understood that Edi-
tor Gilman's presses in the adjoining
room were not injured much. He carried
insurance on his type and material and
probably will not lose much except in
the inconvenience.
The Reporter Office is located between
two hotels and it was extremely f%otu,ate
that the fire was discovered in time.
Spontaneous combustion may have been
the cause of the fire. although no one
seems to know its origin.

Agnew for not having a government

how did this fellow slip past Judge
Amidon? His past record was easy to
obtain, and what was the inspector do
ing all this time? Agnew had money
and was making q play to get free and
he worked a pretty smooth game.
Here is what the Forum said:
Making a most eloquent plea and
putting up his own defense, E. N.
Agnew of Beldeld. N. D., appeared be-
fore Judge Amidon in the u. S. court

CLIMATE AND CLOTHES

| While delivering the baccalaureate
address before the Alabama Presby-
terrain College for men recently,
Richard P. Hobson scandalized the
women and some of the men present
by taking off his coat, complaining
; that he was overcome with heat"
1t seems that Mr.. Hobson was reprov-
ed on the instant by Rev. James G..
Glass who then left the building in
disgust
The occurrence has attracted wide
attention, according to the Montgom-
cry Advertiser, which says: They
are talking about this incident in
Alabama. 1t is the great topic of con-
versation. The tariff, reciprocity,
Diaz have given way to hot debates
on themerits of the Hobson shirt
sleeves case" The Advertiser quotes
as follows from a published interview
with Dr. John ". Stagg, president of
the college where Hobson offended.
Now when you come down to
Walker county propriety, | should
say that, ordinarily. a man should
keep his coat on: but in Virginia,
where l was born, if he should shucR
it, I don't think he would be the sole
topic of conversation thereby. The
truth Of the business is that during
the entire time Mr.. HObsOn was Dor
ing me with his long address ! wore
a long-tailed. heavily-lined, 'burying
coat: but | wore it simply because 1
understood Calhoun etiquette, thing
unknown to q benighted man like Mr..
HObson, who, if he had manners, as
the old negro would say, would sho
be big man.
That was pretty severe even on
man who took off his coat in the pres.
ence OF the fair sex of Walker county,
Alabama, and it takes no account of
the fact that poor Hobson was warm
ed up not only by a very high tenn
perature but by his favorite subject
of the impending humiliation of the
United States by Japan. Of course
he should have endured like a sold
Ter or cut short his address and re-
tired from the building, but the in
cident will not be regrettable if it
should aid in bringing about reform
in the summer dress worn by men in
the southern states.
No doubt Hobson wore a heavy
black frock coat when he should have
been wearing white duck, linen or
other light material. Why should
southern men swelter in clothes I'M
suited to Iuelr climate merely because
Englishmen and northerners can be
comfortable in them and hence wear
them? Englishmen in the South
Pacific islands no more think of wear
ing London clothes than of flying, for
the most part burdening themselves
with nothing more than a suit of
pongee pajamas worn next to the
skin. Climate is a despot that will
not be trif1ed with.-Macon Tele-

THE AUTOMATIC STORE-THE
STORE OF THE FUTURE

If some rich man seeking a worthy
outlook for his money would install
series of automatic stores to be
located in the poorest sections of our
large cities he could make 5 per cent
on the investment and so eliminate
the word charity and yet accomplish
benefit greater than any produced
through the millions given in the
past.
With the purchasing power these
stores would have they could buy
everything at wholesale. Then let
them dispense only the necessaries,
put up in penny and five-cent lots
We already know what can be done
with automatic vending machines, and
these could be adapted to the sale of
packages of tea, coffee, beans, peas,
flour, sugar and all other staple foods,
a swell as fuel.
At present the market for such wares
is just the reverse of what it should
be. The rich, with their ability to
buy in quantity, are able to purchase
their food and fuel at a little more
than a fraction of the prices paid by
the poor, and by our present methods
this may not be obviated
The automatic stOre-and it will
just as surely come as will new in
yentions designed to reduce hand la
Dor through the adoption Of more eff
cient machinery-will not only save
through its ability to make quantity
purchases. but will do away with
clerks and cashiers, will, in fact, de-
mand only the presence of a single
person, whose duty will be that of a
general overseer.
These stores, built of concrete, will
demand little or any fire insurance,
and may be kept sanitary even in the
most congested districts by giving
them thorough washing with a hose
at night. Their economical operation.
combined with their purchasing pow
er, will make it possible for the man
who earns dollar. and a half day
to buy as cheaply as the rich man.

WASHINGTON, THE MOST BEAU
TlFUL CAPITAL OF ITS KIND

There is a widespread idea that
Washington is a depopulated city
during the summer. It's normal pop
ulation is over three hundred thous-
and, and it is probable that the sum-
mer population of 1911, owing to the
fact that congress is in session, is not
less than this number. Washington
has become a great center for conven-
tions, whether religious, industrial,
social or what not. They come here
in great numbers of excursionists to
the city on this side of the globe
where visitors can see as much or en-
joy themselves as we'll as at the cap
ital. The railroads bring large num-
bers of excursionists to the city in
the summer, people who are on their
way to the seashore and who are glad
to avail themselves of an opportunity
to see the national capital at a mini
mum expense. Fully IS per cent of
the resident population remains here
through the summer months, and
those who take it for granted that
Washington is dull at this season are
mistaken. Ambassador Bryce of Eng
land said in a recent address that
Washington enjoys the distinction of
being the most beautiful city in the
yrrnrld fhyN-rO| 0e
buildings, it wide shaded streets and
its symmetry of plan. THE most
beautiful capital of its kind the world
has ever seen" is. I believe, the ex-
act language used by the ambassador.
The words, "of its kind" are, of
course, limiting. The ambassador is
a cosmopolitan as we'll as a diplomat.
and he no doubt weighs his words and
is careful in his statements. There
are, of course, many other cities, not
only in Europe and Asia, but also in
America, that go far beyond Washing
ton in population, and some of them
excel Washington in wealth and ar
chitectural effects, but with Ambassa-
dor Bryce's limitation, the most
beautiful capital of its kind" his
statements will perhaps defy criti-
cism. The cities of the world with
regard to population, and in the order
of their bigness are London, New
York, Paris, Tokyo, Chicago, Vienna,
Berlin. ST. Petersburg, Philadelphia
and Moscow. 1t will be seen that
three of the largest as we'll as the
next to the largest are in the United
States, and it is predicted that with
in thirty years New York will be the
largest city in the world. 1t is. how
ever. bumptious to boast of big cities,
and the excess of city population is
believed by many to be symptomatic
of national disease or degeneracy.
The most thrifty and best governed
nations in the world are those which
have larger rural than urban popu-

Who was most wondrously arrayed.
Her skirt demurely cleared the
ground.
Twas neither hoped nor hobble-

Her waist-line seemed to be at ease.
Nor slanted toward the neck or

Her bodice was discreetly yoked.
Her collar neither fiared nor choked /:
The sleeves. too. seemed to really fit.
They were not skimped or spread a
bit:
And then her hat, of moderate size.
Revealed the wearer's ears and eyes:
And. more than all, beneath the hat
a couture neither bulged or fat!
In fact. the Maid, from crown to toe,
A normal outline seemed TO show,

What period DO yOu representa-
Then laughter followed-such 4
