What's the use. though, in wasting breath talking to a man or woman of that type?
 Every day they cross your path.
 They want something to do.
 Anything, they say at first, that will support them.
 But they don't-REALLY They may have long stories of msfor- tune to tell you. how they have tried to find work and haven't succeeded. Of course, sometimes the stories are | true, but when they are, you may be sure that the needy person who REALLY wants work will sooner or later find it. l The world needs willing workers even
 more than willing workers need work. What are you going to do when you | have found a position for a woman who
 says she is in cruel need of work, and | then she hasn't the energy to make good No matter how deep rooted your desire l may be to help such an one all you possibly do is to find the other person l a CHANGE.

When asked why he gave up his job in the factory he replied:
 I've been thinking 1t over, and I've decided that a man of social position such as mine (hs father had been in the Con federate CabneD couldn't afford to do anything so menial as to work in a fac tory"
 Why. I'd even go to work if could find a lady like position, such as you have, she said to the girl who had interested herself in them, before I'd let anybody as high born and as we'll bred as John work N a factory"
 ''As lady like and refined as the work I am doing" said the girl. "Why. I'd do any sort of work to make an HONEST living. If I weren't doing the sort of work I'm doing now, I'd sweep street cross- ing before I'd let anybody look upon me as a dependent. And as for husband that wouldn't work rather than be idle well. that's beyond my comprehension.' '

COURT OF APPEALS
REFUSES TO GRANT
WRIT OF SUPERSEDEAS
JUDGE 8. F.. WILSON REFUSES
TO SET ASIDE DECREE OF
CHANCELLOR.
Hold ORDER IS NOT final
Under State Statute It Was Duty of
City Comptroller to Cite Federal
License Holders for Taxes-$432,.
900 involved for City Privileges.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May z1.-
Judge 8. F. Wilson handed down an
opinion today in the case of Tennes-
see on relation of Lyle Andrews, city
comptroller of Nashville, which in
wolves the collection of $432,00O rep
resenting city privileges claimed to
be due from Nashville saloonists
from July l, 1909, to Jan. /, 1912. Ap-
phca;ion for a supersedeas to set
aside the decree of Chancellor ALI
son at Nashville ordering this back
assessment was denied by Judge Will
son, who holds that the plaintiff has
the right to appeal in this case, but
that the action of the chancellor thus
far is interlocutory and not final.
Comptroller Andrews applied for the
supersedeas during a vacation period
OF the court and sought relief through
Judge Wilson, who rendered the
opinion today. In his decision Judge
Wilson holds:
First, that the action of the chan.
ceilor was not in it's legal nature f.
nal, but that his order being in it's
nature interlocutory, could be appeal
ed from. Second, that under the act
of the legislature and the ordinance
OF the city, it was the duty of the de-
fendant to notify parties holding fed
eral licenses to appear and show
cause why they were not liable for
the tax notwithstanding the state
wide prohibition law, and it being
his duty he could be compelled to per.
form it,by writ of mandamus.
Third, that the question of liability
Of parties to pay said tax was ulti-
mately for the chancellor to decide,
the parties entailed having the right
to contest the correctness of the de-
cision.

LARGE NUMBER OF CASES ON
DOCKET SEVERAL COMING
FROM COUNTY CRIMINAL.
VENIRE HAS BEEN SUMMONED
The Retarded Farm Work May Cut
the Term Of Court Short, Not Fore.
Ing the People In the Country
AWat From Their Employment

Judge Turner and Attorney Gener-
al Frierson are at Hohenwald this
week conducting court in regular
course. They come here next Mon
day for the regular May term, and
while the docket is rather lengthy
one there are very few cases that
are looked upon as Of any special i'm
rOrtaLcc.
A number of cases on the docket
are appeals from the county criminal,
and the aggregate shows 167 cases.
OF these fifty three are on the civil
appearance docket, leaving one hun
dred and fourteen to be disposed Of
IN sorae way by the court at Its sit
ting. Fighty-eight of these are civil
cases, twenty-five of which are on
the non-jury docket.
This leaves only twenty-six crimi-
nal cases to be tried by the court.
Sheriff Goodwin has been very busy
the past few days getting service on
the venire for the conduct of the
court, and has completed the service.
In view Of the fact that the farm
ers are so far behind with their work,
1t is possible that the term may be
short one, the attorneys and the
court agreeing on the rapid disposi.
ton OF the cases and the continuance
of maty where 1t is possible. SO as
not to force the people in the country
away from their much needed work.

wall, net with the dazzling effects
OF the electric lights in their scintilla-
tsons on the art glass of the doors
and the ticket Office in the center,

gallery, and on to the dome of the
ceiling, 1t is one continuous demon

The woodwork of all the doors is
finished in mahogony with brass
hardware, while the ceilings and the

the r.ost perfect blending of cclors
in the painting and frescoe work
On the inside the large mirrors which
were placed in upright panels at each
side Of the stage have been removed
to the walls of the entrance and
form oblong panels.
Every seat in the house has been
revarniebed, the walls repainted and
frescoed, and the stenciling OF the
ceiling Is of the best, blending with
the shades of the painting in most
effective way.
The painting and frescoe work was
