Telegra piers of the Western and At

rumors among the men today. They say
that President J, w Thomas, of the

It is expected that the telegraphers will
stick by the union
Conferences have been held for two
weeks between telegraphers and road Of

union and an adjustment of hours and
wages a strike among the operators
was threatened in case their demands
we're refused Now it appears that in
stead of strike a lockout may result.

Cochran Defends
Action of Liberals.


J. O Cochran, president Of the park
board. gave the council a hard rap IN
an interview today He said
"tt is not the intention Of those now
educating Sunday bathing to defy the
church and the moral law. The park
board does not contemplate operating
on sunday morning when people ought
10 attend church. but only in the af-
ternoons. when churches as rule. do
not hold any services.
we propose to see that order is
maintained. The chief of police assures
ne that he will have plenty of men on
hand for that purpose.
IF swimming on Sunday Is so bad,
then why not close up every cigar and
soda stand in the city? Why not stop
street cars on that day? Why not close
M the Capital City and all other clubs
WHY permit the wealthy classes to play
golf ali day?
"The man who works all the weak
and who has no opportunity to go
swimming except on Sunday has as
much right to be considered as the
gentlemen who has plenty Of time and
money.
a challenge any Of the twelve coun-
cilrnen who went on record against
Sunday bathing TO run for office on that
issue.
Instead of abolishing the dump piles
which reek with disease germs. and
performing duties which they have au-
thority and ought to perform. certain
council members waste then time med

Whole City Split
Over Sunday Rule,

The seemingly unimportant recon-
mendation of Park Manager Dan Carey
that Sunday bathing in Piedmont lake
be prohibited this year has divided the
whole city into two factions ma
.toritv of the park board present at the
meeting week ago adopted the rec
concentration. and . bitter fight has
been wased ever since to have that
action rescinded
The Federation of Trades and iudi-
vidual union labor organizations have
adopted resolutions insisting that the
board allow Sunday bathing The
Methodist Ministers Association has
adopted resolutions condemning the
amusement. Epworth Methodist church
unanimously cast $50 votes urging that
the Sabbath should not be desecrated.
Or. Charles w Daniel, pastor ot the
First Baptist church, and Bishop W =,
Gambler. OF the Methodist church both
preached against it Sunday. The Sun
dav school superintendents will take
action AT their meeting in Ponce De-
Leon Avenue BAPTIST church tonight,

Toll of the Floods.

Ia the fac8 of thu Titanic disaster
the country at large has paid little at
tention to the disastrous foo 5 along
the Mis,i sippi river. vet the property
loss and the restitution in the two
States most afflicted is appalling. And
the situation grows worse with each
day.
The finest farming lands in Louisi-
ana, whose immense crops of sugar
cane, cotton, corn aud vegetables are
raised annually, are under water, the
floods having ruineI all hopes of a
crop this year. Thousand, of people
are homeless, everything they possess
having been sweF away by the mud
dy waters, their cattle and live stock
drowned, and they themselves made
dependent upon charity for the barest
necessities of life.
Nearly 900, 900 people will have to be
cared for by the War Department for a
month to come, and perhaps longer.
After the floods subside these unfortu-
mates will have merely a bit of dry
ground to represent the savings of
year-in many cases of a lifetime.
= Had this..disaster come at one-.time,
as IN the case of-.thesTitanic the world
would have stood appalled, before the
mighty catastrophe, but because it has
been drawn out for many weeks, the
public has become accustomed to read
ing about it, and grown careless con
corning it.
More.tbaU a million dollars has been
contributed..f for the Titanic sufferers;
for those nearer to us the response to
appeals sshas..been, by.comparison, beg
gerly. Just about half a million dol
lars has been spent by the government
so far in relieving the food victims.
A national calamity demands ma
tional actinn-speedy and adequate ac-
ton. Let Congress quit its political
m%aneuvering and pickering over the
tariff and turn it's attention to the re-
lief of the hundreds of thousands of
men, women and children who are in
the direct extremity. Nashville Ten

After a long delay l will give a few
dots flom this place.
There has been high water the past
week. The farmers are looking blue
wei the condition of things. Some
think they will not make bread to feed
their families. Let us not think today
for what we need tomorrow. Our heav-
emily Father knows Just what we need,
so let US be content and Go Whatsoever
we can for His cause and all will be
well with us. OF course we would
like to have a great many things in
this life and some of us would like to
be rich in this worlds goods, but
what would it be worth to us to have
the whole world and lose our souls.
Get ready for a home of glory and all
the floods can come ana wash things
off the face of the earth and our frail
bodies go with it, but u father, who
is in heaven, will take carr of the soul.
SO, look to him for all things. Pride
and fashion are sinking many a soul.
Did you ever count the cost of vani-
ty, or how far the erratic decree of
Needless, senseless fashion is response
BILE for the hard times and increased
cost of living. 1t is no longer a qu6s-
ton but a fact. A tender hearted wo-
mai who cannot see a child or dumb
brute in pain will order her horses
tails cut through agonized bone and
flesh to fashionable length, and sport
on her hat the pitiful carcass of a lit
tie song bird skinned alive; or wear
furs from harmless seals, ermine and
other animals that never harmed her

ing the plumes of birds that are killed
at a time when a whole nestful of an
fiedged birds must starve to death.
Some birds have been wiped off the
face of the earth never to return
again. ''Behold the fowls of the air,
for they SOW not, neither do they reap,
nor gather into barns, yet your heav-
emily father feedeth them" If the
wearers would reflect upon the suffer
ing caused, surely, If they are chris
tians they will Immediately discard
such fashions If all the birds were
dead not all the hug poisons aver in
vented could cope with the billions of
insect pests for a single day.
In my opinion no man ever thought
that bird feathers or wings or heads
on a hat were pretty. The average
man really prefers flowers every time.
Wearing feathers is a relic of the days
of savagery when the head hunter
strung around his neck the heads of
his victims, or teeth or scalps.
Up in the high branches of the pear
tree and elm the swallows are gossip
ing cheerily, and up in the brilliant
blue stretch of spring sky are soft flee
cy masses of tumbling white clouds.
Dense grow the violets near by a brook
under yon bank, a brook with a laugh
runs away. Gladness and gaiety every
where found, for do you realize it's
May time, sweet May.
Life is a queer proposition. When
we were children we could hardly
wait to become grown up. What
wouldn't we give now for the freedom
and pleasure of childhood days again?
Now, let us be thoughtful of our
selves and of others about us and the
little birds as we'll. Jolly Girl.

Even the Davidson County Jury
wants to know.about--tbat sIush fund
referred to by...Governor Hooper for
there is a report that the local inquisi-
torial body will invite the Governor
to come and tell all about it. So it
would seem that everyone would like
to zeal the particulars of how the law
less acknowledgements immuni-
ty from punishment.
All of which reminds. us that if the
last two grand juries in Davidson
County had done their sworn duty,
no one would have dared to solicit a
bribery fund in Nashville. But those
two grand juries were VIGOROUSLY
derelict, thereby earning the contempt
of every honorable citizen.
As things have been rocking along,
there seems no particular reason why
any Of the booze sellers should hide
their operations from the Davidson
County grand jury, or the Criminal
Judge of Davidson County. Why not
send the graft subscription paper
around openly Why not advertise in
the newspapers for subscriptions to the
graft fund.- No one knows better,,than
the lawless liuuor men of Davidson
County that they have nothing to fear
from our Criminal Court. In view of
the short comings of the Criminal
Judge and of his last two grand jul
ries, the booze grafters and bribers
might easily gather their slush funds
and apply them wholly without fear
of prosecution and final punishment,
While Judge Neil and the grand jul
nv are so busy calling upon the Gov
ernor to give them the full facts re-
garding the slush fund, there is a fine
chance that the operations of some of
the Judges best friends may come to
light, and he may also find himself in
competent to sit OF this case. Then
there is our noble whiskey aristocracy.
1t is not too much to expect that it's
fine Italian hand may be shown up.
The whole situation teens with in
teresting possibilities; looks as if there
will be fun for everybody. By all
means let the facts be known; every
body wants to know. Nashville Ten

The Sinking Titanic.

While sailing DER the sea one starlight
night,
The great Titanic was wrecked by ice,
With sixteen hundred women and men,
Wishing for lifeboats toset their feet in.
Women and children first, you well
know,
Was the law given when leaving the
shore,
How WAS it then with the poor men,
Knowing their lives would soon be at
an end
The sinking Titanic was dreadful, you
know,
While some are on life boats in hopes
for the shore,
Seeing their loved ones in that great
wreck,
Crying and pleading for help.
On Monday morning at break of day.
Carpathia sailed up to bear them away
And when they were rescued how hap
py they felt,
To think of their safety from such a
great wreck.
AS the musical band began to play,
Nearer, my God to Thee"
Poor men bad felt their woes gone in
slnBluB Nearer 10 Inee,
While women refused to go from the
deck,
Standing with arms around husbands
neck.
Come now, Lord Jesus, have mercy
on me,
Before l am buried in this great sea-"
Perhaps was the cry for many poor
souls,
The Lord had called them so quickly
to go.
Just think of so many that should go
down,
Walking, talking and whirling around,
knowing, however, they couldn't
reach shore,
Parting with loved ones to meet here
no more.

The Hard Working Miners

The hard working miners, their dan
gers are great,
And many while working have met
their sad fate,
ADDING their duty as all miners do,
Shut out from the daylight and darl-
ing ones, too.
Chorus:
The miner is gone, we'll see him no
more,
God be with the miners wherever they
go,
Oh, may they be ready thy call to
obey,
A-looking to Jesus the only true way.
He's only a miner, been killed under
ground.
Only a poor miner and one more is
Just why he was taken, there's no one
can tell,
His INNINGS all over, poor miner,
farewell.
He leaves a companion and little ones,
too.
To earn them a living as all miners
do,
For while he was working for those
that he loved,
The boulder that crushed him, it came
from above.
With hearts full of sadness we bid him
farewell.
How soon we may follow there's no
one can tell,
God pity the miners, protect them
from harm,
Shield them from danger with a dear
strong arm.

defeat of the Kelly's Ferryans by a
score of IS to 10. The Ramblers'
pitcher, Brown, did some good work,
and so did Houts for the Ferry. He
was, however, an Etna player and
could not be counted as a regular play
er on the Ferry team. In the after
noon Kelly's Ferry tackled st. Elmo,
who came during the battle between
the former teams. st. Elmo wanted
a game. so Kelly's Ferry again show

their defeat this time was more severe
