The Golden Day.

There are two days in the week upon
which and about which | never worry,
Two care-free days, kept sacredly free
from fear and apprehension.
One Of these days is yesterday Yes
terday, with all its cares and frets,
with all its pains and aches, all its
faults, its mistakes and blunders, has
passed forever beyond the reach of my
recall cannot undo an act that
wrought. / cannot unsay word that
said on yesterday. All that it holds
OF my life, of wrong, regret, and sorrow,
is in the hands OF the Mighty Love that
can bring honey out OF the rock, and
sweet waters out of the bitterest des-
ert--the love that can make the wrong
things right, that can turn weeping in
to laughter, that can give beauty for
ashes. the garment of praise for the
spirit Of heaviness, JOY OF the morning
for the woe OF the night.
Save for the beautiful memories,
sweet and tend er, that linger like the
| perfume OF roses IN the heart OF the
day is gone, have nothing to do with
yesterday. 1t was mine 1t is Coos.
Aud the other day do not worry
about is tomorrow. Tomorrow with
all its possible adversities, its burdens,
its perils, its large promise and poor
performance, Its failures and mistakes
is as far beyond the reach OF mastery
as its dead sister, yesterday, 1t is a
day of Gods, Its sun will rise in rose
ate splendor, or behind a mask OF weep
ing clouds. But it will rise. Until
then, the same love and patience that
hold yesterday hold morrow. Save
! for the star OF hope that CLEANS for
ever on the brow OF tomorrow, shining
with tender promise into the heart Of

Tax Case Appealed.

Attorney G. G.. Horner today filed in
the state supreme court a petition ap-
pealing from the action OF the state
board OF equalization in making a
raise OF the assessed valuation Of prop
erty in Oklahoma from 1884 ,5ll ,965 to
81 072 ,O7s, ,496. This blanket raise, al
leges Horner in the petition is in fact
an assessment OF property by the state
board In violation OF the constitution
and laws of the state whereas the board
authorized only to adjust and equal
ize values. Horner holds that the state
board has no authority to raise the to-
tai assessed valuation as returned by
the local assessors throughout h e
state.
1t is stated in the appeal petition
that Horner appeared before the state
board on October2 1911, in support Of
a similar petition filed with that body
wherein protest was made against the
blanket raise. He declares. however
that the petition was denied aad that
the state board then levied state tax
of IL mills on the blanket raised valua-
tion. He says the state board refuses
to modify and vacate its action, max
-fug-rhe-valuation raise aud an appeal is
therefore taken.
The appeal petition avsrs that there
was error in the proceedings of the
state board of equalization in that they
did not adjust and equalize the values
OF real and personal property of the
several counties Of the state but did in

The Good of Billy Sunday.

The average man Is apt To scoif at re-
yivals Billy Sunday the other night
at Wichita, Kansas, brought 155 men
and women to come voluntarily for
ward and declare desire for higher
living, Up to last Tuesday night he
had | 500 such confessions. The men
that came forward were Of all charac-
ter and walks of life. Hard hearted
business men OF wealth who crushed
their weaker brothers men in politics
and public office who had played the
game crooked; men who had broken
the statutory and moral laws of the
community with impunity-traficked
in liquor, gambling and what not.
These men were stirred to their
depths by the fervid ora ory and point
ed truths of the evangelist as they had
never been stirred before and took a
new step before all their neighbors
who knew them in their fixed habits OF
life. They acclaimed, they sang, they
shed tears in their new found enthusi-
iasm, and cared not who saw them.
That is the value oI public revivals
Men go on for years crystalizing and
hardening points OF view of life, until
nothing can change them. Their linz
tied philosophy and their ways are
right and everything else is ridiculous
or it is too late for them to change.
Along comes man who mas the pow.

it is usually a mans work to crank a
motor by hand. Not only experience,
but the eXertion Of much strength is
required to overcome the compression
and turn over the engine.
The other inconvenience is almost as
serious. and most discouragtng when
rain is falling the wind blowing
with such force that it is almost I'M
POSSIBLE to preserve a match flame long
enough TO light an ordinary lamp.
Both are obviat, entirely in the new
seasons Cadillac. A woman can start
the car as easily as man. The lamps
IN front and rear are lighted without
an occupant Of the car leaving his or
her seat.
To start the motor a button In
pressed and the clutch is disengaged
by the foot pedal This IS all the Op-
e. ator does the rest Is automatic. The
engine begins to revolve, being driven
by the electric generator, which for the
moment becomes a motor. As soon as
the engine begins to run under It's own
power-which takes place after the
first few revolutlons-the generator
a .,ain assumes its function of supply
ing current for ignition and storing
electricity in a storage battery for the
lighting system.
All the lamps on the Cadillac are
lighted electrically. They are turned on
with no more effort that the pressing
of a button. There is no necessity to
stop the car and plod from front to
rear and rear to front IN mud or slush
Nearly every community has or at
least has had at some time or other
its characteristic conveyance, sort OF
landmark as II were. which the travel
ing public comes to know and instinct
lively looks for in its comings and goings.
Although something OF a metropolitan
center, Lansing. Mich, Is no exception
to this rule, for daily at nearly every"
train can be seen big yellow Oldsmo-
bile Limited with a driver Familiarity
known as bill" Although the trains
are usually late. this is never the case
with Bill and his limited, for he is al
ways "on the job"
II is doubtful whether many OF the nu-
merous travelling men who are wont to
ride with Bill would recognize him if
addressed by any other cognomen, and
Bill is evidently content to let It go at
that, for he never insists on any further
introduction
AS for the comings and goings OF thu
limited, Bill never has kept any of1ciak
record as regards the number Of trips
but in point of miles he can give the
BDee0OmeIeE W
and year by year, and IL Is safe to say
that the yearly record with him averages
nearly as much as the distance travelled
in a lifetime by the man Of average do
nestle habits.
Although primarily a seven-passenEer
car, there are times when the limited
comes nearer carrying seventeen; for
Bill apparently has the instincts OF the
street car conductor when II comes to
packing them in, and never has been
known to make the second trip or I'd
leave any Of the regulars to the mercy
Of the street cars and carriages,
As the limited serves to carry passen-
gers to and from the olds motor works.
Bill does not collect any fares, but wtth
out a doubt he has sampled every brand

PULLMAN SUPPLIES
 THE b|G LEAGUES

Cullman,s February 22.-(Special)- The professional ball players who have been spending the winter at home In Cullman are making preparations to leave for their respective clubs, where they will soon begin their practice for another seasons work. The wielders of the stick that have been turned out of Cullman county are Fred Heck, Jack Lively Searcy Burnum and Joe Kibby. Heck will again play short for Clarks- vile, Tenn, where he did excellent work last season. He will possibly be the last man to leave for his post of duty as the opening of the season has been set for May 25.
 Burnum, who was drafted by the Chicago White Sox from the Western league, has the information that he has been sold to the Wichita club and Will leave about the first of the month. If Burnum plays with this club this season 1t will be the second season that he has done service for Wichita. Bur mum is pitcher of some note and has done excellent work with t... left paw in the Western league. His last sea son was with Des Moines, Iowa.
 Cullman fans are proud of Lively, and well they may be- He is a native Cullman county boy and an old South ern leaguer, having done couple of seasons work with Montgomery, but last season was sold into the Pacific Coast league, to the Oakland, Cal, club. He was the star pitcher on the staff Lively goes this year for tryout with Detroit, and his friends here are very hopeful that he will make good.
 Kbby is the property of Gadsden and Is on the holdout list. He has not yet signed for the season, and Is hold ing out for more money. however, he has not yet determined just what he will do in the matter, but the chances are that if the coin Is not forthcoming Kibby will remain in Cullman unless he secures his release from the Gads- den team. It will take this before he can sign with another club
 Cullman will again be without a club this season, although there Is as good material here as can be found in the state, and the fans are still hoping that something may be done toward the organization of team.
