THE PROGRESS has received a lot
of literature in the interest OF the
Stephens Bill, which has been intro
duced into the present Congress by
Representative Dan v. Stephens, of
Nebraska, and Senator William F
Ashurst, Of Arizona, To protect the
public against dishonest advertising
and false pretenses in merchandise
ing" There may be something in
the bill introduced by the gentle
man named, but in the main our
people do not need protection from
anything or anybody except them
selves. A people who have not
enough Of local pride and enough Of
local business patriotism to wish to
see home business prosper in prefer
ence to the business in far distant
cities, we doubt if such needed pride
and patriotism can be legislated into
them. The lying advertising done
by q limited number Of city con-
Germs, such as proposing to sell $40
suits Of clothes for men or women
for SOS, has been done so long and
is 50 palpably false that none but
the lowest grade Of suckers is caught
by such bait. It is the mail order
house that is cutting this country
Of money which ought to be spent
at home, but such concerns are not
practicing any dishonesty that we
can see, They simply catalogue
their prices and seldom dwell upon
the merits or cheapness Of the
goods. The Mail Order House does
business by systematic, persistent
advertising and the non-advertising
merchant who sits down with a
crouch simply because the other
fellow is more liberal and enterpris-
ing than he is, has no sympathy
coming to him. The merchant any,
where who hunts bargains for his
trade and is liberal enough, far
sighted enough to advertise those
bargains, is not the one who is rail-
ing against the mail order houses
he seldom fails to Get trade. We
need to keep all possible money at
home, but the home merchant must
in some way bear the expense Of
showing the people that he can and
will do as we'll for them as the mail
order house offers.

AS a member Of the Railroad
Commission Of Tennessee, the Hon.
B, A. Enloe has made a good and
faithfelapublic servant--and so far
as we can learn, has been just about
the whole commission. Under the
circumstances, if Mr.. Enloe is not
worthy Of endorsement the COM
mission is not worth keeping and
ought to be abolished. If the same
crowd that beat Col. Saddler with
Georse WEIGH Is allowed to dictate
again, the sooner a commission to
be run by such a gang is lawfully
strangled and buried without hon.
ors, the better It will be for Tennes-
see.

Recital for Benefit Of Cemetery.

About $4,000 remains yet to be
paid for the cemetery fence. The
money has been secured and the
fence erected, but that makes It all
the more obligatory that the debt
should be Cancelled as soon as posi-
bic.
For the benefit Of the fund, Miss
Irene Williams, Of Jackson, will give
a recital in the College Chapel, Fri
day evening at 8 p. m. Aside from
the purposes, the entertainment will
be well worth the price. Miss Viii
liams has sent number of testi-
monials from presidents Of various
clubs where she has appeared, from
DR.. Barrett, President Of Union Uni
versity, from the Columbia School
Of Expression, and others, commend
ing her work, and especially her in
depreciation of The Masters VIC
lin, by Myrtle Reed, which she will
give here.
Mr.. ]. W. Dyer's Orchestra will
furnish an enjoyable preliminary
program.
The prices, as usual, will be IS
and Is cents and it is earnestly
urged that every one interested in
the cemetery will make an oppor-
tunity to speak to at least two peo-
pie Of the entertainment, that the
door receipts may be as large as
possible.

WIND WRECKS BUILDING AND
INJURIES MAN AT JAMESTOWN

Jamestown, Aug. 3.-During the
most serious of the various squalls
of wind that struck the city Wednes-
day afternoon, the front wall of the
new Anderson garage on Fifth avenue
north was blown completely down,
falling out across the sidewalk and
into the street. Two men were in
jured, one receiving but slight abra-
sions that did not prove at all serious
The other, however, a workman by the
name of Towidki, was sitting or stand
ing on the walk and was half buried by
the falling debris. He jumped to his
feet, however, and was taken up to the
Office of Drs. Movius & Wood. It was
found that he had scalp wounds, body
bruises, and an injured hand, but it is
not thought that there is anything
that will not respond to treatment.
The hollow tile brick are broken into
fragments and many of the common
pressed brick are badly broken, as
we'll. There were columns of brick
and pillar of iron holding up the
heavy Orders that extended across the
entire front Of the building, and rest.
ing on the Orders, were about eight
feet of brick work. The force of the
fall was such that the heaviest iron
beam was bent in falling across the
lower part of the wall.
