Your Weight In Gold,

You often hear of man or woman
or an object of some sort that is pro-
claiming to be worth his cher or itsI
weight in gold" Did you ever stop to
figure out what your weight In gold
would be? Or your sweetheart's? Or
your baby's? Or your favorite pipes?
You can do it, approximately. The
value of gold fluctuates. Usually it
runs in price somewhere between $40
and 500 an ounce. Let's take the lat
ter amount. It's easier to figure with.
Gold is weighed by troy weight, twelve
ounces to the pound. In other words
tat 500 an ounce, $24O a pound. Do
you weigh $50 pounds? Then your
weight in gold is about $4,000. Whe
capitalization of man who gets an
$500 a year salaryD Is your girls
weight 10 pounds? She Is worth only
about $26.4O0. Nearly $4,000 less
than yourself. though you probably
won't acknowledge ito her. If your
pipe weighs two ounces its weight in
gold is $40. Your ten pound baby Is
worth only $2,4OO in gold. So you see
worth it's weight in gold" is not such
exorbitant praise after all.-St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.

Chairman Agee Wants
To Inpedch McAdory
Claims Commissions AS Deputy Sheriff Have Been Indisc-
natey Given Out and That These Permits Allow Undesir.
able Persons the Right to Garry Concealed Weapons

Incensed over the alleged indiscriminate
issuance of authority to carry concealed
weapons by Sheriff Walter X. McAdory.
it was announced yesterday by Walter C.
Agee, chairman of the excise commission
that he would undertake to impeach the
sheriff for that alleged offense.
"A man named J. S. Brown, who was
recently arrested for blackmail, displayed
in a court the right from the sheriff to
carry a pistol concealed" said Mr.. Agee
'IIe did not nor does he now discharge
the duties of an officer any more than
do the duties of a minister of the gos-
pei and / can put it no stronger. 1t is
wrong that he should be so commissioned
by the sheriff of this county, and intend
to ask for the impeachment of McAdory
for indiseriminately issuing powers of a
deputy sheriff in such cases. [ am told
that there are so many of these commits
sions to carry concealed guns issued in this
county that no effort has been made to
keep a record of them.

ing a wrong that all good citizens of this
county have been fighting and deploring
for years.
Il can imagine nothing more deplorable
than for the highest peace officer of this
county to encourage pistol toting which
is responsible in a large measure for the
murders for which all good citizens have
been bluShing for years. Mr.. McAdory
in allowing such men to carry pistols
in definance of law and order has COM
mitted a wrong which should cause the
most intense indignation on the part of all
good citizens.
THE sheriff has not only commissioned
Brown, but others, and intend to leave
nothing undone to impeach the man whose
wrongs since being sheriff have been a
reflection upon this whole community.
This Brown matter has been carefully
reviewed by some of the most thoughtful
lawyers in this community who advise mo
that the case is sufficient to displace
the sheriff
Mr.. Agee's Intentions have been whis-
pered on the streets for some time, but
he was unwilling until yesterday to give
out fully an authorized statement as to
the rumored effort to impeach Sheriff
McAdory. Mr.. Agee, Il Is recalled has
been rather at cross purposes to Mr. Nc
Adory for some time. their dfferances
dating from the time the sheriff and the
chairman OF the excise commission had a.
controversy about alleged blind tigers op-
Grating undlsturbed in the county.
Sheriff MeAdory was not in the city
yesterday and a statement could not he

TWenty-fJth Street Pacing
Is Indefinitely Postponed

II voted against the postponement of
the matter said President Exum, be-
cause am in favor of paving the entirs
street aud have been all along"
Times are too hard and we've got to
cut down on all these improvements that
are not absolutely necessary said Judge
Lane. I'm tell you there has been too
much of this stuff and I'm in favor OF
doing nothing more than what is abso-
lutely necessary. There are too many
people who can't afford the expense"
Before any of the two delegations had
an opportunity to say a word yesterday
Mr.. Weatherly moved that "The Twenty
fifth street paving matter be indefinitely
postponed" The vote was immedately
called for and the majority won. The
Twenty-ifth street paving matter has
been before the commission for many
weeks. 1t had been ordered once and
bids received Then the action was re-
scinded and the fight taken up anew. Sew
eral delegations have appeared jointly be-
fore the commission and some heated arr
guments on both sides have been made.
Twenty fifth street is one of the main
thoroughfares to Norwood and North Bir.

With the suddenness of a flash of light

BILE was terminated at the commission
meeting yesterday, when the matter was
indefinitely postponed
Two large delegations, each representing
a different side in the controversy was
present and they filed out of the com
mission room dazed at the suddenness
of the turn of affairs. Commissioners
Lane and Weatherly voted aye and Pres
ident Exum no ON the proposition.
1t had been indicated for some time
that both President Exum and Mr.. Wealth
erly were in favor of paving the entire
street and Judge Lane was opposed How
ever, Mr.. Weatherly appears to have
changed his mind at the last moment.
Some 10 or 20 persons called upon him
yesterday morning and he has received
many letters the last few days protest.

WANT HEADQUARTERS

Blinn, John l.. Parker and others ap-
peared before the executive committee of
the Farmers union yesterday and urged
the organization to keep its headquar-
ters in this city.
1t is believed that the probability of such
action is very strong. The city of Mont
gomery some time ago offered the Farm
ers' union free office space If it would
move its headquarters to that city. 1t
was pointed out by the local officials that
the union was not in such shape that
