THE STATE PRESS

There is statewide law
against the sale Of whiskey in
Tennessee, but under the rule of
Mayor Crump Memphis treats this
law with contempt. There are
several hundred saloons in Mem
phis, operated in insolent defiance
of a state statute. Each of these
saloons violates the law scores of
times day. Altogether they vio-
late it thousands Of times a day.
These saloons are responsible
for the loss of many lives in and
around Memphis. More murders
are committed in Memphis than in
all the balance of Tennessee, and
usually whiskey is at the bottom
of these crimes. But whiskey
does not do all of its deadly work
in the promotion of homicide. It
destroys life in other ways, and it
does more: 1t undermines char
acter, drags down manhood and
womanhood, and creates condi-
tons of poverty and disgrace. 1t
would be interesting, while at the
same time depressing, to know
how many deaths and how much
suffering and shame are traceable
to the lawless saloons of Memphis.
Yet Mayor Crump, who hasten
ed to tear up grade crossing at
which five people had been killed,
sits serenity on his little throne
and Winks at a much greater men
ace which a law of the state says
shall not exist in his city.-Bristol
Herald and Courier.
The fusionists to a man, unless
it be an occasional politician who
thinks there is no office in sight

control the organization and name
the candidate-harmony or no
harmony. You can no more har-
monte the two factions than you
can mix oil and water, because
neither faction would trust the
other at a dog fight. And if our
senators and congressman wish
to be reelected they had best at
tend to their duties in Washing
ton and not put their faces in the
peoples jam here at home. We
put them in Washington as SER

Noble, in which he spoke in terms of praise of the lofty character of the pioneer and what his life has meant to the people of Anniston.

If the weaker shoots are cut out the five or six remain ing will grow to great length, from 10 to 20 feet, and they may be used excellently over arbors or trained against the pill lars of a porch. The mass of dropping yellow flowers which this plant bears in early May makes 1t valuable addition. It is not suitable for growing In a shady place. but it will bloom well anywhere except at the north of building.
 One Of she towering vines not commonly planted, but worth using, Is the actinidia. II clngs to any support and grows rap d1y. A.

 The akebia, like the actinidia. comes from Japan. and. like the latter. is almost evergreen. The leaves are five-pointed. The flowers. which come in May, are borne in clusters. with both dark and light purple in the same group. The blooms. which are cup shaped, are fol lowed by dark purple fruits. The akebia reaches a height of 20 feet.
 There are many other Towering vines, but selection to suit any purposes may be made from those described above and they will well repay one for planting in suburban grounds.
