WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

Louisville Courier-Journal: The man
who takes his wife's advice is usually pros
porous.
Brandon (Miss.) News: Jackson citi-
zens drink fifty-seven gallons of liquor a
day, or approximately 100000 worth a
year.
Guntersville (Ala.) Democrat: Up to
Tuesday about 1850 polls had been paid,
and $500 dogs assessed. This gives US
about five dogs to one sheep. We are
progressing.
Opp (Ala.) Messenger: Too many young
people depend on their fathers money TAX
ing them through this world and their
mothers prayers making everything all
right for the next
Edge6eld Is. c. Advertiser: The Ken
lucky Legislature refuses to submit the
question of prohibition to a vote of the
people. The whisky interests WELD a pow
erful influence in that State, it being said
that three-fifth of the whisky in bonded
warehouses tn the United States is in Ken
lucky warehouses. But, finally, Kentucky,
like some Of the wet counties in this State,
will be forced to fall in line. Prohibition
sentiment all over the country grows
stronger and stronger, and even liquor
soaked Kentucky will be unable to stay the
rising tide.

Ezekiel.

In thee are men who carry tales to shed
blood.-22, 8.
And he said unto me, This is the most
holy place.-41, 4.
AS live, saith the Lord God, will not
be enquired of by you.-20, 8.
Then will make their waters deep, and
cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the
Lord God.-32, ID.
And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall
be sign between me and you, that We may
know that am the Lord your God.-20, 20.
Like as pleaded with your fathersin the
wilderness Of the land of Egypt, so will l
plead with you, saith the Lord God. 30, SO.
will make thee a terror, and thou shalt
be no more: though thou be sought for, yet
shalt thou never be found again, saith the
Lord God.-26, 81.
For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, l
will deliver thee into the hand of them
whom thou latest, into the hand of them
from whom thy mind is alienated.-28, %.
Son of man, the house of Israel is to me
become dross: all they are brass, and tin,
and iron, and lead, in the midst of the
furnace; they are even the dross of silver.
I-22, IS.
But as I said unto their children in the
wilderness, Walk We not in the statutes of
your fathers, neither observe their judg-
ments, nor defile yourselves with their idols.
30, Is.
And there shall ye remember your ways,
and all your doings, wherein We have been
defiled; and We shall lothe yourselves in
your own sight for all your evils that we
have committed 30, 43.
Hear the word of the Lord God: Behold,
| will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall de-
your every green tree in thee, and every
dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be
quenched, and all faces from the south to
the north snail be burned therein. And all
flesh shall see that the Lord have kindled
it: it shall not be quenched.-2 47-48.
Those that be near, and thoseIthat be far
from thee, shall mock thee, which art in
famous and much vexed. Behold, the
princes of Israel, every one were in thee
to their power to shed blood. In thee have
they set light by father and mother: in the
midst of thee have they dwelt by oppres-
sion with the stranger: in thee have they
vexed the fatherless and the widow.-22,

Alexandria, Jan. 28.-Bryan David rang
the doorbell of Daniel Mann's residence
here to-day, shot down nine-year-old
Regina Mann, who opened the front door,
and then walked into bedroom, where he
sent two bullets into the body of Mrs. Mann,
aged thirty, killing her as she lay helpless
on a sick bed. Calmly, the man then then
walked out of the house. On the front
steps he paused, took bottle of acid from
his pocket and tossed the contents down
his throat. He died on the way to a hos
pital. David's insanity came suddenly.
He was total stranger to the Manns.
The Louisiana Planter of last Saturday
says: We can only report this week a
continuation of the favorable conditions
that have surrounded this, the earliest
stage, of the 1915 cane crop in the Louisi

is hardly possible that we shall escape Sc
we're freezes before the winter is over, yet
unless they should como extremely late
they cannot materially mar the existing
prospects. Work is we'll advanced on all
the plantations and, industrially and agri-
cuturalIy speaking, there is nothing on
which to base any complaints.
