1t is often said by people that they
will vote to license saloons because
they know that liquor is sold under
cover and they think it would be bet
ter to have the open saloon than the
blind tigers This argument would
seem to indicate that the persons
making it believe about as much
liquor was sold in the blind tigers as
is sold in the saloons. Sober second
thought will show that this is mis-
take. With even our one dispensary,
where the doors closed at six in the
evening, where one could not buy
nicely concocted drinks and where no
treating could be INDUCED in, there
was more liquor sold by far than is
sold in all the blind tigers existing
in Tuscaloosa county today. If this
is true what a difference there will
be with saloons on various corners,
all made attractive and inviting and
open until the hour of midnight every
night. If the men who sell liquor, the
wholesale dealers and the manufac-
turers, believed more liquor was sold
in the blind tigers than in the open
saloon, would they be in favor of the
prohibition laws which would mean

Society is under obligations to afford

was the extent to which vice has been
commercialized. There are financial
hackers of vice. There is a consider

The following from the Phladel-

a new light is dawning on that re-

Restrictive and reformatory efforts

EPHRAIM AND HIS IDOLS.


"Only small number of fairness
attended" is the way the Harrods-
burg Fourth District Leader speaks
of the farmers institute in Breck-
enridge county So it was in Dav-
less, and so it seems to be in nearly
every county in which an institute
is held.
There does seem that there Is
but little use to employ much time
and money in trying to get even
those who should be greatly inter
ested in them to attend schools
where valuable information is i'm
ported to farmers. Most of the farm
ers seem joined to the idols OF their
ancestors. Let them go, and give
attention to the boys. The boys corn
clubs are doing great deal of good
along the lines of farming and the
associated industries. In one coun-
ty alone, Meade. the corn produe-
tion this year his increased ten per
cent. over the previous yield. What
has been done in Meade can be done
In Lawrence. An increase Of five per
cent. in this county would mean
many thousands of dollars to the
raisers And the good results to
the boys of the clubs Is by no means
quantity to be neglected. The
boys get new and useful ideas, they
have something to stimulate them,
something to look forward to, a
laudable ambition to be gratified.
The Industrious. intelligent. honest
boy, with noble aim in life, is the
hope of the land. Let us do all we
can to encourage and develop him.

County, ". Va.

Five men were killed on Thurs
day last by boiler explosion which
occurred at saw mill owned by
Wayne Thompson, ON Spruce creek,
not far from Wilsondale, ON the IL
Pole division of the N. G w. The
disaster happened on Thursday last,
and the probability Is that the cause
OF the explosion will never be
known, as every man near the mill
when 1t took place was killed, four
outright and one dying of his in
juries shortly afterward. Others
were at work in the woods nearby.
The dead are: Wash Finley, Jacob
Maynard, ...... Phelps, Lon Bur-
chett and Wayne Thompson.
1t is believed that the men killed
had come in to the mill to dry their
clothing as the day had been wet
and rainy
Mr.. Finley was the father of Mrs.
Albert Damron, of Williamson, and
was quite we'll known in Mingo and
Wayne counties.
Mr.. Burchett was brother of M.
g. Burchett. of near Breeden and
his body was taken there Friday.
Mr. Thompson was an uncle of
Deputy Circuit Clerk A. w. Damron,
of Williamson and has been in the
lumber business for a number of
years.

was found in well near the mill.
His neck had been broken.

in this section, some of them hay
ing relatives on Mill Creek, not far
from Ft. Gay.
The widow. of Mr.. Finley was
Kirk, a daughter of Capt. Jim Kirk,
Of Inez, and relative of Ed. Kirk,
Of this city. Similar disasters at
tend similar outfits all over the

which had been once condemned,
and too often the engines are ruu
by men whose mechanical skill is
limited to knowledge of how to
start and stop the machine,
