two sides!
All Of Us agree thar cities should be
cleaned up, if they can be. 1t is on
how to do it that we wrangle.
The evangelists say, "Take the thing
by storm. You can't get momentum
by thinking and arguing this and that.
Wade in with enthusiasm, everstate
the case, create a great, blind, high
pressure force of mob emotion, then
stand by and let it sweep US to vic
tory"
The parliament Of thinkers then re
plies: What Is the use Of a violence
so great that the reaction from it is
worse than the first inertia. What
good is mere force, if it's going in the
wrong direction
Then the evangelists play their
trump card. They say, and it's sadly
true, that nothing big was ever ac-
complished except by unressoning emo
ton. and that you cannot have both
omnipotent emotion and deliberative
wisdom. You take your choice.
When the argument gets as far as
this, we have to side-step little.
There is, at the bottom of an argu.
ment about a vice crusade, an element
al deadlock. Every man on both sides
of the question, If he really thinks al
all, comes to the place where he says

Whereas 1t has pleased Almighty
God in his wise providence to remove
from our midst our late brother, w.
w. Richards, and whereas the inti-
mate relation long existing between
our deceased brother and the mem
bers of the board of stewards Of the
Gadsden Street Methodist church rem
ders 1t proper that we should place
on record our appreciation of his ser
vices as a member of our board and
as Christian man.
Therefore, Be it resolved by the
board of stewards:
First, That while we bow with
humble submission to the will of the
Supreme Ruler of the Universe, we
do not the less mourn for our brother
who has been called from his labors
to his heavenly reward.
Second, That in the death of w. w.
Richards our board has lost a mem
Der who was always active and zeal
GUS in his work, prompt to advance
the interests of his church, and de-
voted to It's welfare and prosperity;
an honest and upright man whose
virtues endeared him not only to his
brothers Of the board, but to his fell
low-man as we'll.
Third, That the members of the
board Of stewards tender their heart
felt sympathy to the family and rela-
tives Of our deceased brother in this
their sad hour of grief.
Fourth, That these resolutions be
entered upon the minutes of the
board, and copy sent to the family

the record made in filling out the
British steamship Communicable,
which, arriving last Monday, was
cleared yesterday by the Pensacola

which firm the vessel was consigned,
and will be ready to go to sea today,
some bunker coal being required.
The British steamship Common
wealth arrived in port from Galveston
Monday at noon, and started taking
cargo Tuesday morning. This steam
er was due some time ago, but was
delayed. She proceeded to Calves
ton for orders, and Immediately left
there for Pensacola, where the cargo
had been for some time in the rail-
road yards, and Immediately on her
arrival she was given berth at Tar

finishing loading at noon on the 18th,
the cargo consisting of two million,
four hundred and fifty thousand SUI

The stevedores, Messrs. Christie &
Rivers, gave this boat an unusually
quick dispatch, as this work has not
been equalled in any other port on
the gulf coast. The said stevedores
have made an excellent record, and
the dispatch which they have given
this steamer speaks well for the facil-
tiles at this port for loading cross
ties.
On Tuesday, the 14th, the said
stevedores put on board this vessel
$4,000 superficial feet Of cross ties,
which is the largest days work ever
done on the gulf coast.

Henderson County Teachers
Fold Profitable keeting

The Henderson County Teachers
Association held a most interesting
and profitable meeting in the audito-
rum of the graded school here Satur-
day. A feature of the meeting was
an address by DR.. VIM. r. Kirk of
this city and the program was OPEN
ed with a song. reading of a scrip
ture lesson and prayer. Nearly a
hundred teachers were present at this
meeting.
Doctor Kinks lecture dealt with the
problem of combating contagious and
infectious diseases and revealed many
things to the teachers that will be
helpful to them in handling children
in schools. He said fear of disease
through ignorance made many per-
sons susceptible to disease; that if
everybody was thoroughly informed on
such matters the dangers of contagion
would be greatly lessened. He spoke
briefly of infantile paralysis and said
this disease was communicated from
one person to another principally
through the discharge from the nose
and mouth, and that there was prac-
tically no danger Of a child contract
ing the disease if he is kept away
from other children. He explained
the symptoms by which we recognize
the disease and tuberculosis also
came in far a share in the lecture.
Following Doctor Kinks address
Profit F. Shipman gave a lecture to
the teachers illustrating the method
of teaching hygiene and physiology to
the junior n senior classes of the
high schools, which was highly edu-
cational Inc showed that Mr.. Shipman
was thoroughly informed on the sub
ject.
Short talks were made by others
present and the meeting as a whole
was one of the best ever held by the
teachers. Prof. Shitle, county super
intendenty expressed himself as being
well pleased with the large attendance
and urged the teachers to try and not
be late at the next meeting as matters
of Importance are discussed and it is
necessary that all get there on time.
