MEMPHIS SHY 200 SALOONS

Memphis, July l. Fully 200 saloons in Memphis will close their doors before another week passes. These are mostly of the corner grocery variety in locali- ties where trade is not heavy. This became evident today by the small number of liquor dealers who applied for the July 1 federal licenses and from expressions heard among saloonists.
 County Clerk Crenshaw today ordered distress warrants issued against all holders of retail fed eral liquor licenses, calling upon them to pay $250 to the state and county as quarterly license for doing business.
 Fifteen days will be allowed for replies and if the licenses are not paid, indictments will be sought, as was done recently when 1.0o3 persons and firms were indicted. The state re- venue agent will be in charge of the cases after the 15-day period.
 Since the statewide" pro- hibition law went into operation in Tennessee the number of saloons in Memphis has increased rapidly because the city did not collect any license excepting the nominal merchants tax, and at first the state did not attempt to collect the full state license. Now, however, that the state and county are after the licenses, de- spite the fact that the business is illegal, many of the smaller places are preparing to quit.

AUNT JANE FISHERS DEAD

Last Sunday, July End, death entered the home of J. B'Shers and took Aunt Jane his wife, as it's reward. She had been feeble for some time but was feeling perhaps as we'll as usual, when she lay down upon the bed after dinner for a rest. Her daughter, Mrs. Hicks, who makes her home with her parents, noticed that the breathing of her mother was unusual and went to her and found her in the throes of death. She only breathed a few times after her daughter reached her. Heart failure was the immediate cause of her death.
 Aunt Jane. as she was famili- arly called, has lived with her husband. Esq. J. B'Shers in Prescott and vicinity since 1858. They had lived together as hus- band and wife for 54 years.
 The deceased was "A years, 5 months and 26 days old. She leaves a broken hearted husband and one son, Judge H. l.. B'Shers of Hampstead county, and one daughter, Mrs. Mont Hicks. be- sides a host of friends to mourn her death.
 Aunt Jane was a consistent member of the Christian church, a loving mother and a helpmeet indeed to her husband. She was buried in DeAnn Cemetery. Her pastor, Eld. R. L. Philpot con- ducted the servlces and the order of the Eastern Star took charge and laid her to rest with the beautiful rites of that order.

MUST PAY FOR PAPER

Taking a paper out of the post office makes the recipient liable for the bill. o. D. Austin, a Butler (Mo. ) publisher, sent his paper to Charles Burge. The latter paid for it twice and then refused to pay again. He said he ordered it stopped. But the court of appeals holds that mere acceptance of the paper created a liability. It adds:
 ''The preparation and publi- cation of newspaper involves much mental and physical labor as we'll as an outlay of money. One who accepts the paper by continuously taking it from the post office receives a benefit and pleasure arising from such labor expenditure as fully as if he had appropriated any other product of another's labor, and by such act he must be held lia. ble for the subscription price.

.i.GH HONORS FOR
 ARKANSAS MAN

The Sundy Gazette says: Sid ney Chappell, of Hot Springs, is appointed Supervisor of Arkan- sas National Forest Reserve.
 News was received here that Chief Forester Henry s. Graves, of the Department of Agricul- ture at Washington, had appoin- ted Sidney A. ChappeH, of Hot Springs, Supervisor of the Ma tional Forest Reserve. He suc- ceeds Daniel w. Adams, recently resigned, and will assume the duties of his new position at once.
 Me. Chapel is the first Ar kansas man to hold a position of this character. The usual cus- tom of the Agricultural Depart ment officials has been to ap- point minor officials of the de- partment at Washington, to such positions.
 The position comes to MT. Chappell in the nature of a pro- motion. When the forest re- serve was established in the spring of 1908, he was appoin- ted as a forest guard. In short time he was advanced to the po- sition of forest ranger. Two years ago he was made deputy supervisor, which position he was holding at the time of his pres ent appointment.
 The new Supervisor was born in Clark county, 38 years ago, and has lived all his life in Ar kansas. He is brother of Per- ry F. c. Chappell, Superinten- tendant of the Arkansas Reform School.

OPENING OF PANAMA CANAL
Southern Commercial Congress VIII
Move for Great Celebration at
New Orleans.

Washington, May 2.-Managing Di.
rector Dave, of the Southern Com
rmercial Congress, returned today from
two weeks trip that included New
Orleans and ten other Southern cities
It resulted in a national movement
TO commemorate the transformation
of the Panama ditch into the Panama
canal
In an interview today Mr.. Dave ex-
planned the Connected details of the
idea. He said:
Water will be turned into the Pan
anna ditch between September and
November, 1913.
THAT will be the time for the ma
ton to celebrate the existence of the
Panama canal.
The logical point for such a COM
memoration is the nearest great city
to the thing commemorated, so that
the canal itself may be visited as part
of the commemoration.
Louisiana, having gone in and
failed to secure. the 1915 exposition, is
by that fact unable to move in the
matter of a national celebration.
THE Southern Commercial Con-
gress. being southwide in extent, Will
move to give to the celebration a ma
tional significance with the Southern
states acting unitedly as hosts.
The region affected by the Panama
canal is the entire nation and the con-
gress will therefore invite to New Or
leans the leaders of the nation along
various lines.
Under the guidance of President
Fletcher and the executive committee
of the Southern Commercial Congress,
there will be held series of conven-
lions in New Orleans affecting each
chief commercial interest of the ma
ton, and running throughout the
month of November. Concurrently
with the convention, Louisiana Will
arrange a series of land and water
pageants, historical and allegorical'
setting forth the progress OF the ma
ton from the time Of the savage to
the date of the wedding of the AT
lantic and the Pacific. At certain pre-
arranged dates in the month, or pos
sibly daily, throughout the month, one
or more excursions will leave New
Orleans to carry the nations business
leaders to see the canal on which so
much of the nations money has been
used. The plan will endeavor to make
If possible for men living within one
thousand miles of the gulf to spend
not more than 500 in travelling eX-
penses to the canal and home again.
81 will visit New Orleans again this
month to confer with a committee oil
ten. of which Crawford H. Ellis Is
chairman and NJ. B. Trezevant, presi-
dent of the Southern Commercial Sec
retaries Association, is secretary.
THE Southern Commercial Con-
gress and the Louisiana leaders are
emphatically of the opinion that as
this celebration will have no exposi-
ton feature, it will aid rather than
hinder the work of the victorious Pa
cific coast during the Panama-Pacifc
exposition of 1915 =. ..........

they are a hopeful sign of the times.

they will become more modestly ar

TEA WILL SOON
 DON MOTLEY CARE

New York, February 19-Popular brands of low-priced teas will don mot ley garb after May 1, according to whole saers and importers here. After that date, according to government direction, no more artificially colored teas can be imported and as a result many of the teas which have appeared in beautiful green shades for a hundred years or more will come in hereafter in hues of brown, yellow and green.
 According to a statement from the I'm porters association, the trade all over the country is unanimous in approving the new regulation. Green tea will still be green, but the color will be more natural. The artificial colorng hereto fore used by the Chinese to emphasize the greatness of their product and to impart a uniform color and gloss to the leaves, a harmless dye, will be elimi- mated.
 "The general public here knows very little about tea. America is not a great tea drinking nation. The per capita con- sumption is only one pound a year, wher- as in Canada it is six pounds and in Great Britain nearly seven pounds Tea is popular all over Europe because Of the economy. A 50-cent pound of tea will provide at least 250 cups of gen. erous strength. while a 25-cent pound of coffee, the American beverage, is good for not more than 30 cups.''

 We have decided to adopt the wireless telephone which our experimental work shows to be entirely practicable" Dr. Milliner told the New York Railroad club at their annual meeting here.
