Ennis Protests Against
Le0ity In the Discussion
Of Sumter County Ticks
Leader of the Faction Declares Humor is Out of
Place When Ticks Are Under Discussion This is
Frivolous Age When Bystanders Will Not Be Serious
On Any Possible Subject

With strong protest against the
spirit of levity which has character

ence to the pestiferous tick of Sumter
county. Julian B. Ennis of Livingston
came to Birmingham yesterday
Mr.. Ennis, who is a strong advocate
of tick eradication by the methods pro-
posed by the federal government, de-
clares that he has no fault to find
with the man who endeavors OCCASION
ally to create little merriment. but
that he is strenuously opposed to news

proposition of his county as if that
proposition was other than one of the

upon request OF four prominent cit

Mr.. Kaul. however, announced last

FAMILY FIGHT is
HARD TO BREAK UP

VIII and Harriet shiyers, negroes, have
bene placed in the city jail by Detectives
Burge and Jones on charges of disorderly
conduct and assault Upon an officer.
Detectives Burge ami Jones We're walk
ing up Avenue A near Twenty-second
street when they heard sounds OF fight.
AS the detectives came up TO interfere,
Will Shipers busted a whole basket
of groceries over the head of his spouse,
and in retaliation Harriet promptly in
serted her index finger in Wills right
eye. The officers seized the excited couple
then and started to separate them.
However, in the scuffle Wills fist, in
a wild swing, came in contact with De-
tective Ed Jones nose, dra wing blood and
knocking Jones Off his feet. Burge drew
his pistol, but Jones got up from his un-
dignified position, AMI bolding his pistol
by the barrel, he proceeded to massage the
nepro's skull until he submitted to arrest.
His spouse in the meanwhile was subdued
by Burge.
Detective Ed Jones has only recently
returned from the hospital, where he was
seriously I'll with pneumonit, and his
struggle last night with tho negro proved
quite a tax on his present state of health.

Youthful days and in the event he
escaped the bullets of the Turk to
make her his bride and to return to
his adopted country when his term OF

rot right or fair that the American peo-
ple should be mislco W such Giaoolic
cunning.
Passing over with contempt tho sly
and stealthy stab this Mr. Cullen makes
at the two distinguished and respected
cIerics, both OF whom l have the honor
10 know the cloyen hoof OF the writer
protrudes at full length when he says
the clergy OF ireland frown on the
merriment Of the people ana look the
other way whsD real vice 10 encount-
cred" As the exact contrary of that
statement is the truth it is not neces-
sary to- say what tho statement itself
is Then again, this vefAeious Mr.. Cut.
len tells us that "The IriEh Times is
carrying on a campaign for the puri
hcation OF the city of Dublin, but he
makes no mention OF The Freeman S
Journal which started the campaign,
nor of "The Irish Independent" nor
the several weekly papers devoted to
the same purpose, nor does Mr. Cullen
say word about the public meetings
presided over by the lord mayor In the
mansion house, and by the archbishop.
the bishops and priests, protesting
against the invasion of ireland by the
filthy and obscene literature emanatins
from the slums of Liverpool and Lon
don.
Mr. Cullen has a sneer for the lecture
hall and appreciation for the dance hall;
again the cloven hoof. II Mr.. Cullen
would take the time to look through
the reports OF vice commissions he
would find that the public dance hall
comes in for special mention as re-
cruiting station for service in the ranks
of his satanic majesty. The dull lee
ture on some moral subject does not
find favor with Mr.. Cullen, especially
when these lectures are delivered by
the clergymen against whom he directs
his stub pen point
In about the same class as Mr.. Cullen
are to be found such men as Mr.. Henry
OConnor, and no one who knows any
thing about ireland fails to value at
their true worth all and anything said
about that country by such Culiens and
OConnors. +. I. MONKS.
