LARGE AUDIENCE HEARD
GOV. GLENN'S Lecture
WAS NTEREs EVER HEARD IN
HATTEs6URc-PoWERFu ARGUMENT AGAINST
THE LIQUOR

What was pronounced one of the
most interesting lectures ever deliv-
cred in Hattiesburg was that by Elk
Governor Robert B. Glenn, of North
Carolina, to large audience assem-
bled in Main Street Methodist church
Friday night.
Gov. Glenn's subject was "The
Greatest Issue Before the American
People Today" on which he spoke for
an hour and fifty minutes, during
which time he seemed to array every
possible argument against the liquor
business, and while his language was
never offensive, it was decidedly plain
and pointed.
He starts with the premise that if
the liquor business is a good thing
it ought to be promoted, but if bad
thing it should be suppressed. Ad-
dressing the preachers present, he
asked if the liquor business brings
damnation instead of salvation, how
dare they do otherwise than throw
every particle of their influence
against the accursed evil.
Meeting the claim that prohibition
of the liquor traffic hurts business, he
brought out many startling sta ements
relative to the marvellous improvement
in per capita wealth, education and
private and public morals in Kansas,
which stands first, with North Caro-
lima second and Mississippi third in

Don't sing as sweetly as of'yore;

Show less of blueness than before.
l wonder if you know the lane
That used to feel your presence near
Seems now a dreary waste to me
l wonder if you know this, dear.
For since you've left me desolfte
Each old familiar place we knew
Seems less and less attractive now
AS though all nature missed OF too.
And thus whene'er the paie noon

"sLEEPY" TOMS DIRE PREDICTION

Bristol, Tenn, April 19.-Real terror
prevails among the negores and super
stitious whites of this vicinity because
of the prediction of a disastrous cy-
clone, which a local prophet" says
will destroy the city tomorrow.
SLEEPY" Tom Clarke, Confederate
veteran, has predicted storms and dis
asters with such success that there are
many here who believe that he has
supernatural powers. His title is due
to his tendency to fall asleep while on
duty in the army. In 1900 he pre-
dicted that the world would come to ar
end in 1915. He declares that this
forecast still stands.

There is a pill for every ache. a saIve
for every sore, so let's rejoice and never
make a rumpus any more. There Is a
poultice for each head, for every pain
some dope; until the doctors saw he's
dead, 10 man should give up hope. 1
knew a man once on time, who had no
store of cash; he said this world was but
a crime, and all its glories trash; and
so he got a neighbor's axe, and. bv the
old horse trough, with sundrv strong
and sIilful whacks he chopped his head
piece off. Next week a LAWYER printed
ads announcing that this knave had
fallen heir to heaps Of seads. but he was
in his grave. The darkest hour. as
Homer said, is just beore the dawn;
there's often comfort Just ahead. when
all the hope seems gone. There is a sir1p
for each cough, lance for every boil. so
never think to shuttle off some yards of
mortal coil Misfortune hits us now and
then, but if we bravely grin, she'll 90

faces in. There Is a cure for every wart.

"HIS is the birthday of Calico, an
Italian, who would hace derived
the most intense pleasure from
living in this enlightened age, but who
instead had to struggle along in the
sixteenth century when ignorance had
all the delegates and steam-rollered wis
dom with joyous uncOneern.
Calico was born February 18th, 1864,
in Pisa, and at an early age became chief
mathematician to a Grand Duke
Dukes in those days not being able as
a rule to count above ten. While en-
gagged in figuring out mortality tables
and estimated capacities for execution
rooms and money bins, he became in
terested in the telescope, which was a
new invention, and built one for him
self.
When Calico began to use his tele-
scope he became so wrapped up in as
tronomy, that he neglected his business
altogether and the Grand Duke fire.
quently had to wait several hours for
him to figure the interest on fOrty-two
flOrins. Calico discovered the rings of
Saturn, the satellites of Jupiter, the
spots on the sun and analyzed the milky
way. Some time before this. COpernicus
had advanced the prepOsterous theory
that the sun stood while the earth
moved around it, whereas any fool could
see the sun moving with the naked eye.
However, Calico decided that Copper

nicus was right, and announced the fact
early in the seventeenth century.
At that time the monks were the
great standpaters, and when Calico got
off the reservation and began to put out
his wild and frivolous theories, they
withdrew all his patronage and prepared
a large and excessively hot bonfire. Ga
hleo was then led up to the bonfire and
asked whether he preferred to remain
on a stationary earth in good health or
on revolving world in middle of the
said bonfire.
After some hesitation, Calico an
bounced that while the earth really did
move, there was no need of inserting
1t IN the platform of the party, and he
was allowed to live. He survived many
years and undoubtedly made many more
discoveries. But he did not advertise
them extensively.
If Calico lived today he would be
honored for his wisdom and would be
compelled to speak 800 nights a year at
banquets until he died of dyspepsia. As
1t was, he lived a nervous life. and
every time he passed an executioner the
latter ran his thumb along the edge of
his axe in a horribly suggestive manner.
All this was because there was a Wis
dom trust in those days and the indie
pendent producer Of imperishable ideas
usually got exterminated for heresy.
And yet we think we are afflicted by
trusts today!
