DON'T LOOK GOOD.

Some how the Carminetti-piggs

limited States acted too hastily IN

tho white slave law, was the son OF

an immediate trial, as 1t does III
nearly every criminal case. 1t If &c

ed too hastily we are not surprised
that he was indignant when the at
torney-general of the United States
arbitrarily interferred in the DISPOSE
tion of what appears to have been
most fragrant violation OF mos
wholesome law. The young defend
ants father, charged with the dut!
of enforcing the white slave law
stands in most unenviable light
HE should resign.

ENFORCE THE LAW.

The Herald cannot too highly COM
mend Attorney General Frierson's
persistent and determined efforts to
enforce the liquor laws in this coun-
ty. 1t requires courage, determine
ton and zeal to enforce these laws.
The Encouragement is displaying
these commendable qualities. The
open sale of liquor is not to be toll
Grated in this city and county.
Abundant machinery is furnished for
the enforcement Of the law If OH
GERS charged with it's execution will
only do their duty. That Mr.. Frier'
SON is impressed with proper sense
of responsibility is evidenced by his
conduct. He should have the cordial
support of every law abiding cluizen
of the county. Any effort to openly
sell liquor in Columbia is going &c
start about the biggest fight that this
town has known in long time
The people are not yet ready to sur
render completely to the lawless
liquor interests. There is no earthly
excuse for a saloon here and it car
exist only by the connivance and tol
Grafton of the officers Of the law
More power to officials like Horac'
Frierson. Let there be no surrendeI
nor compromise. Enforce the Law
and enforce it impartially.

A DESERVED HONOR.

Members of the state bar assocla-
ton honored themselves in electmg
as the head OF that organization the
Hon. John Bell Keeble, of Nashville.
For Mr.. Keeble is one OF the ablest
LAWYERS in Tennessee. AS an orator
he has few equals in the state; as a
student of &C, eminent, of history
and of the law. his fal.e reaches BE-
yond the boundaries of Tennessee.
And to all who have the pleasure of
his acquaintance he is a most court
eous gentleman. As citizen he is
public spirited and worthy of the
highest confidence. He is in every
respect a fit successor OF the able
men who have presided over the bar
association Of Tennessee. He will
uphold its finest traditions and will
prove himself worthy Of the full con-
fidence of the foremost lawyers OF
the nation. No more appropriate
selection could have been made. Let
us hope that the lofty ideals OF John
Bell Keeble will become. the ideals
@. all Of the lawyers Of Tennessee.

ROOF GARDENS ARE
GROWING POPULAR

Housetop gardening grows apace. Ii
is no uncommon thing now to receive
bunch of poisoning loneliness from
some fat dweller who AYERS that she
raised the flowers herself. 'How?' is
the instant query. In a window box?'
Then one recollects that most fiat win
dows are rarely visited by the sun.
No" the answer Is forthcoming, IN
my roof garden"
A lady who had home in a tiny
room at the tip top of a block of red
brick was glad of the adjacent back
stairs leading to the roof. She obtained
from the grocer a series OF soap ana
starch boxes and carried from repeated
country trips soil enough of a good quail
ity to grow not only flowers but beans
and lettuce. She had an old rocking
chair to hang over the stair railing up
side down when not in USE so that II
was neither too dusty nor too wet TO
be sat upon when she climbed to her
eyrie. Water had to be carried only
the single flight and as she watered the
boxes on alternate days by a carefully
studied system the task never seemed
heavy.
Early in the morning before going to
work she had a quiet hour alone with
her flowers and the tightening sky; and
in the early evenings she watered the
grateful plants and gathered those that
she wished later to carry out to her
friends. 1t was a pretty diversion and
a happy way to give pleasure to her
friends, like herself city-bound. but with
out the resourcefulness which availed
of every opportunity to wrest Joy from
the workaday world.

NEWEST DEVELOPMENT
OF PUNCHED WORK

Among needlewomen the popularity of
punched work is assured, for many of
the loveliest articles displayed in the
shops are a combination of punched work
and either solid of tapestry stitches.
The newest development of punched
work is done on linen scrim and COM
bined with darning. It is very simple
work and produces surprisingly artistic
results.
Purchase a fine ecru line scrim, which
is woven the same in both directions,
with three fine threads together forming
regular groups. The small squares
formed in this manner serve as founda-
ton for the punched work.
To the scrim transfer the pattern you
select and, using fine linen thread and a
medium-sized needle, work the back
ground in punched work.
