The Amphion quartette of Chi
cago which is to give a concert
here Jan. 20 under the auspices
Of the M. E. choir takes its name
from Amphion, a Greek, god, the
son of Jupiter and Antiope. He
was instructed in music by Mer-
curry and his skill was so wonder
full that when hew as set to build
the wall of Thebes he simply
played on his Tyre and the stones
moved and arranged themselves
in their proper places.
Thee hoir finds that gettine a
piano for thee hurch is some
thing nearly as difficult as build
ing the wall of Thebes but the
Amphion quartette assures them
that their entertainment will
leave them with o goodly sum tc
their credit. The choir is hav-
ing excellent success in selling
tickets and intend to have the
house all sold out before the date

MORE REVENUE
At LESS COST.

Nashville, Jan. 4,--Notbwithstand-
ing the tight financial conditions which
prevailed throughout the year 1914,
the net receipts Of the insurance de-
partment OF Tennessee for the year
Just closed exceeded the net receipts
for the year preceding by the hand
some sum the largest odd n d. pat
some sum Of sGG.2S3.29. This is, by
considerable odds, the largest increase
that has ever been made Ia a single
year In the entire history Of the de-
partment. OF course, large item Of
this increase Is represented by the
savings q, the seate In the matter Of
expenses, due to the economical
methods Of the present commissioner.
Commissioner Taylor saved the state
more than $1,000 in printing bills
alone, and he administered the first
marshall department during the year
1914 at the saving OF the state Of
practically $4,000 additional.
According 10 the records OF the de-
partment. the total receipts OF the
Office for 1914 amounted to $475,747.77.
The total expenses for the same period
was $32,132.2O Net receipts for the
year s44S.615.57.
Durin gthe year 1914 the fire mar
shall tax collected amounted to $24,-
00771. Fire marshall fund expended,
same period ;16,679.67. Leaving a
net balance OF s8,22S.04.
As compared with the year 1914, un-
der Mr.. Taylor's predecessor, the con-
duct OF the department OF insurance
form an economical standpoint does
Mr.. Taplor no little credit.
The total receipts OF the department
during the year 1913 amounted to
$397. .2s3.6l. Total expenses for period,
1896, ,09s.34.
The fire marshall tax collected by
the department during the year 1912,
$23, 3,s20.0S. Fire marshall fund dis
bursed, same period. $19,232.54. Leav-
Ing net balance OF $4.5s7.54.
II will therefore be observed that
Commissioner Taylor collected almost
100000 more revenue during the year
1914 than his predecessor collected
during the year 1912, and at an ex-
pense OF $4,000 less.

This question n bein gasked In
Washington: WIZ william J. Bryan,
eighteen months hence, stampede the
Democratic delegates as he stampeded
the Democratic delegates In 1896? The
South and West we're ready for free
silver IN 1896. They are ready nov,
80 II II said for prohibition.
Men who are sure Of Mr. Bryans
mental honesty an Christian and a
champion Of temperance, urged him
a few years ago 10 give himself en-
tirely and actively 10 the prohibition
movement They reminded him that
all OF the outstanding polItica tissues
since the Civil War had been OF the
Docketbook SORT. The ful ldlnDcr pail
was an issue Of that kind; the lnHa-
ton Of the currency was another.
Prohibition, these men maintained
is moral question, as SLAYER ywas,
and they said, ma moral question, no
question OF the heart, ever dies In
the United States, but becomes strong
er and stronger and, finally defeating
all resistance, Is accepted. Mr.. Bry-
an refused 10 listen TO the counsel 80
given saying he could not abandon
his efforts 10 reform the currency or
leave of his proselyIng In behalf OF
peace among the nations. The cur.
rency has been reformed. To busl-
ness-like mind further labors for
peace at the tuncture seem 10 be
superhu0us.
II II argued, therefore, that Mr..
Bryan Is now ready 10 become the
declamatory leader OF the prohIbi.
toIn propaganda. In support Of this
view two sentences are quoted from
letter he wrote 10 Thomas G. Rye,
the new Governor OF Tennessee.
"The liquor element" he said must
be driven out OF the Democratic
party, II dlsgraces US when II is
With us. and bctrays us whenever II
can serve lis ends by doing so"

gently broke ground on the free silver
Issue for year or more before the
meeting OF the national convention In

he is engaged In breaking ground for

that he will go no further than to
write prohibition plank for the plat
