MORGANTON FEARS
FOR HER SIDEWALKS.
Judge Shaw Decides Againts Town in
Matter Taxing Property Owners
Half the Cost.

Morganton, Dec. 16.-Judge Shaw
handed down a decision this week
which is giving the town authorities
grave concern and which may have
the effect of ~suspending all city i'm
provements.
For years here, as in other places
the property owners have been taxei
with half the cost of permanent &C.
ment sidewalks.
Upon refusal of DR.. E. S. Warlick
to a his half for a sidewalk in front
OF his residence and of Mrs. A. G..
avery. in front of Hotel Morgan. he
town brought proceedings to collect
holding the property liable, and un-
der Judge Shaw's ruling nothing can
De collected and the officials fear q
general refusal to pay for improve
ments.
1t is centended by the fearful that
the oWners of the lot between the
TWO in question had paid their part,
so they will probably demand the
amount refunded and if the decision
stands in the Supreme Court the
town as well as other towns through
our the State will be swamped with
stunts.

Two of the three city commissioners are good suffragists, not just luke-warm sympathizers, but active advocates. It will be recalled that in the early days of the movement. Hon. George Ward vouch- safed 1t as his opinion that women should not only be permitted to vote, they should be made to do so Th.s was before Hon. Arlie Barber had decided he would be a commissioner. but not before he decided about suffrage.
 When the public call was issued to form an association here. the rlrst man to re- spond was MT. Barber. His loyalty has been unwavering. He has spoken for suf- frage at the street meetings, has always encouraged every effort the suffrage workers have made. ana has contributed to the material needs.
 Meantime Hon. James Veatherly is not committed for or against but the suf- fragists are hopeful that the justice of votes for women will finally outweigh any lesser questions arising from the ex- pediency aspect of the matter

SAYS, INJUSTICE IS DONE IN REPORT
 ON BERLIN DEATHS
Local Christian Scientist Says Regu-
 lar Medical Doctors Would Not Have Been So Treated
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Seeing the press dispatch from Berlin, Germany. which you have published on the front page of your valued paper of the 14th inst, stating in bold headlines, Death of Popular Actress Caused by Christian Science" was evidently designed to minimize and discredit the healing work done by Christian Science. I as sume the comment by a Christian Scien etN may be in order.
 The press dispatch states that two prac- titioners of Christian Science have beer convicted of criminal carelessness anc sentenced to six months imprisonment for causing the death of two patients, yet the s,spatch states that physicians testi- fled that the diseases with which the pa. tients were afflicted were incurable. Also That the patients voluntarily placed them- selves under treatment of the practi- 9ioners.
 Now, for the sake of justice, let us re- verse the case and suppose that those patients who had been pronounced in curable had gone to another medical doc tor and had died under his treatment would the medical doctor have been ar rested and sentenced for criminal negli- gence? I answer no, because hundreds
 
 ment every day, and no one raises any objection.
 However, it is not surprising that in Germany today women should be inn prisoned and treated as criminals fol praying for the recovery of the sick, but It is somewhat surprising that any lead Ing newspaper of America would lend it's Influence to any cause of injustice, tyranny and oppression
 The thousands who have been healed and restored to health and usefulness through Christian Science do feel deep sense of gratitude for their recovery and do not see the justice in any attempt through Associated Press dispatches or otherwise to discredit that which has made them healthier, happier and more useful citizens.

IMMENSE AUDIENCE GREETS TOM HEFL|N
 AT LYRIC THEATRE
Noted Orator Delivers Ad- dress on "The Southland" Under the Auspices of
 Camp Clayton

To large and appreciative audience that completely filled the Lyric thea Ire Sunday afternoon, under the aus piees of Camp Henry D. Clayton, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Congressman J. Thomas Heflin delivered one of the most eloquent addresses to the Con- foderate Veterans ever heard in this city. The meeting was called to order by Commandant Thomas Dozier of Camp Henry D. Clayton. Chaplain Dr. l.. C. Branscomb of the camp deliv- cred beautiful and stirring invoca- ton. In a few we'll chosen words Com mandant Dozier presented Senator Frank S. White as Alabama's most be- loved citizen and honored statesman man that all Birmingham is proud of, a brave and gallant Confederate veteran. Senator White in his inim- itable way introduced the speaker of the occasion and won long and pro- lohged applause when he referred to Congressman HefIin as Alabama's greatest orator.
 Congressman Heflin's address oi two hours was one of the most elo- quent discourses ever heard in Bir- nungham. His tribute to the old sol diers was sympathetic, eu1ogistic and eloquent. His masterIy presentment of historical facts pertaining to the dis tinguished men of the south and to the great part they had taken in re- lation to the upbuilding of the south and the nation was frequently ap- plauded He referred separately to the great soldiers, great orators, great statesmen and great judges who in the past shaped and at present are direct inS the destinies of the nation. His tribute to the women of the south and to the women in general was most eloquent. He also paid glowing tri- bIte to the Confederate flag and to the animating spirit of the men who bore it, but it was in his final apos- trophe to the nation at large and to tho present presiding ma gistrate, Pres ident Woodrow Wilson, that he rose to his sublimest heights of e1oquence, and so sincere and grand was his de- livery in this peroration that the au dience broke forth in the loudest and most prolonged exclamation of ap- proval. At the close of his address he was given a hearty ovation. Com uandant DoZier then announced that several of the souths most famous orators would lecture under the aus pices of Camp Henry D. Clayton in the near future. It was announced that sunshine HAWKS, great platIorm ora tor and son of Maj Willis J. Hawks. one of Stonewall Jackson's staff, and himself Confederate Veteran, would deliver lecture at Cable hall Tues day night, November 23, at s D. m., for the camp entitled, Sunshine in the Sixties; or a Boys Experience in the Confederate Army" This lecture to be illustrated by 60 views depicting the scenes of many famous battles.
