When the Band Begins to
Play.
(By w. H.. Dugdale)

mid fhe rush and whirl of business,
Needless of the noise and din,
/ From the solitude of slumber
Does the ceaseless grind begin;
With your nerves all on tension
We grow older every day,
But we get some consolation
When the band begins to play.
They will come from out the office,
They come running from the store;
| There's face at every window
! And form at every door.
If you note they always linger
Till the last note dies away,
And will listen for the echo
When the band begins to play.
| When man is tired and weary
From day of toll and care
He will sigh for home and comfort
And will find solace there;
But he takes on new conditions
And at home he cannot stay;
His ambition leads to action
When the band begins to play.
Watch battle-scarred old soldier
AS he walks along the street,
If he hears the strains OF music
He gets nimble on his feet;
Like horse that's been in battle.
He is ready for the fray;
He's enthused with animation
When the band begins to play.
The business man and banker,
With the schoolboy are ON hand;
They will watch and wait with patience
Which occasion will demand,
Then persistence will not anguish,
Be conditions what they may;
They are out to hear the music
When the band begins TO play.
Sometimes you get discord,
Then there's trouble right away;
1t can always be detected,
Seek the cause without delay;
Let your tone and time be perfect,
Then you'll never go astray;
We will get the sweetest music
When the band begins to play.
Let harmony and music
Enter into every life;
1t will hinder much confusion,
1t will Danish every strife;
1t will elevate your morals,
You'll get better every day;
And appreciate the music
When the band begins to play.

8 DEATHS AND 4
M|STRIAL-S END
INSURANCE SUIT
Famous Augusta Legal Battle
0ve:- $4,000 Policy Of Muir
dered Man Compromised.

AUGUSTA, Feb. 1.-THE famous
case of Thomas Moore against the
Equitable Life Assurance Society OF
the United States was brought to an
end Saturday when the defendant
compromised for S1,25O The amount
sued for was $4,000, insurance on the
life of John Moore, brother of Thorn
as, and whom Tom was tried and
convicted of numbering.
In January, 1907, John Moore, of
Keysville Ga, was found shot to
death. 1t was known that Thomas
More ha INSURANCE on his brothers
life. He later was convicted of the
murder and sentenced to serve a life
term in the penitentiary.
Soon after Moore was sentenced he
entered suit against the Equitable
Life Assurance Society for the insur-
ance on his brothers life The frs;
time the case was tried the court held
that Moore's conviction for murder
was admissible in evidence, and the
burden was shifted to Moore to prove
his innocence of his brothers muir
der. There was a mistrial.
On the second trial of the case
plaintiffs counsel succeeded in con-
vincing the court that the judgment
of Moores conviction was inadmissi-
BILE in evidence for the purpose of es-
tablishing Moore's guilt, but again
there was a mistrial.
On the third trial of the case the
court ruled that the burden of proof
of Tom Moore's guilt should rest up
on the defendant company. This was
also a mistrial
In the meantime Thomas Moore,
with "Old Bill Minor, had escaped
from the State farm and was killed
near Keysville by a citizen who was
endeavoring to recapture him. His
wife, Mrs. Louise Moore, was made
administrators, and the case proceed
ed
Tie fourth trial also resulted in a
mistrial, the jury having stayed eut
three or four days endeavoring to
reach a verdict. The fifth trial of the
case was begun last summer, but be-
fore the evidence was gone into a tel
egram announcing the death of the
plaintiff, Mrs. Louise Moore, was re-
ceived, and another mistrial ordered.
The case was recently assigned for
trial in the City Court of Augusta on
February %, with another admins
traitor as the plaintiff. The insurance
company, however, agreed to compro-
mise. The money will go to the little
daughter of Tom Moore.

IN TENNESSEE
Entire State Political Machinery
Disrupted as Ruling Renders
Amendment Illegal.

NASHVILLE, Feb. 1.-THE Ten
nessee Supreme Court to-day de-
clared the Democratic amendment to
the election laws Illegal on the
ground that a quorum was not shown
to be present when the bill was
passed. The decision throws the State
machinery back into the hands of the
fusionists and defeats the plans of the
Democrats again to become the domi-
nant ~arty. The decision was hand
ed down by divided court, a sensa-
tional dissenting opinion being writ
ten by Associate Justices Landsden
and Green, who declared the decision
of the majority was unreasonable and
a danger to the stability of law and
order in the State.
The decision has created consterna-
ton in political circles, being de-
nounced by some of the prominent
politicians who are benefited by it.
