Evil Always In Hatred.

A man should not allow himself to
hate even his enemies, because if you
indulge in this passion on some occa-
sions, it will rise of itself in others !;
if you hate your enemies you will
contract such vicious habit of mind,
as by degrees will break out upon
those who are your friends, or those
who are Indifferent to you.-Plutarch.

MRS. HOLLEY COWHERD COMPLIM ENTED

Mrs. Holley Cowherd of Montgomery, who will spend the week end" in Bir- mingham, singing at the Tutwiler, both tt the luncheon tomorrow and during the dinner de luxe on Sunday evening, sang recently in Montgomery, where she and her husband are now living, and Musical America of recent date pays her the following pretty compli- ment
 The Montgomery Oratorio Society C.. Guy smith, director attracted the in- terest of musical Montgomery during the Easter season. Good Friday night the chorus gave the DuBois Seven Last Words" before large audience at the Court Street Methodist Church The so- loists were Homer Burress of New York, tenor; Louis Kreidler of Chicago, bari tone; Mary Cowherd, soprano, and Charlotte Mitchell Smith, contralto the latter two being the society's own mem- bers.
 On Sunday afternoon the society of fered "Stabat Mater" with the same chorus, with Mrs. Cowherd as soprano and Mrs. Smith as contralto soloists, and Charles Troxell of New York as tenor soloist, and Jack Thomas of Bir mingham as bass. This is the most am bilious work which the society has so far undertaken, but both the chorus and the soloists measured up to the eX- actions of Rossinis work most credi- tably. MT. Troxell sang well, especially the "Cujus Animam." Jack Thomas, bass, has been soloist with this organi- zation on previous occasion. His work on Sunday afternoon served to strengthen the good impression he made in Montgomery in the Messiah" last Christmas. His voice is profundo of great power, and he sings with an ease and assurance that should place him in the first rank as an oratorio artist. It Is gratifying that our neighboring city of Birmingham can furnish us a singer

1T1HE whole world. business and so-
 ciety, is talking the high cost of
 S living and the great extrava- gance of everybody.
 As 90 per cent of the women are the money spenders for clothes and food 1t seems that they will be a powerful factor in solving this problem Many of the best thinkers contend that this condition of reckless spending of money cannot go on without dire results. and the division of womans activities, H. c. L. department of justice is calling upon al women throughout the land as a pa triotic duty to conserve in the expendi- ture of money.
 Mrs. Amos Troupe, director of the division of II. c. L. for Arkansas, and president of the womans Federation of that state says;
 High prices are a direct outcome of the inequality of supply and demand. Supply and demand can be made more nearly equal by either increasing sup ply or decreasing demand. It will take several years for production to catch up with demand, on account of the de- creased production of goods and the present unstable condition of labor If we do not demand the luxuries. the at tention of the merchants will turn to the necessities and the supply of neees- sities will be increased. The factories make that for which there is demand Each one of us can control the de- mand
 Tt is sound economies to urge against extravagance We should not eontin- ually complain of high prices and then go right on paying them without at least trying to help the situation. We should by precept and example empha- size the doctrine of simple living, Wet may be able to- wield great influence by setting standards. Let us devote some time on our club programms each month to the consideration of home seconomics. Let us advocate intelligent buying which does not mean cessation Of buying, but buying what we need; buying wisely, having in mind dura- bility of material and style Market men and dry goods merchants tell us Ethat women do not know how to buy. sthat women do not know the quality aof goods and judge the quality simply hy the price affixed. If this~ is true, then we should include in our club pro- srammes instruction in the matter of Buying.

 In the work of the club it has been striving to make good American citi- zens of it's members by it's teaching of the principles of Americanism, said MT. Bite. 'In it's educational work the club strives to develop the knowledge of it's members by having debates on subjects Of vital interest, and have reading ex- fractions taken from -noted authors. The club has produced several 1Nays and comedies. some of which are "Who's Who,' All in a Fog and The Boston Dip The club soon will stage for the benefit of the club home fund Hearts of Men, a. drama which is quite pre- tentious.

The PhOneciQn Club.

Into my "Sanctum Sanctorium" a few days ago b1ight-eYed, dark-skinned, clever young man made his appearance, saying that he wanted to tell me about new club, or rather, new plans of an old club of which many splendid young Syrians in this city are members.
 Always glad to hear of new projects in which my fellow citizens are con- cerned, I turned my attention to the new-made acquaintance, who is MT Roger Bite, young attorney of this city who is pleasantly known to a large circle of friends and who is president Of the Phoenician Club, of which he was to tell me the objective Of that ambitious organization at present being the building of a Home" headquarters, as it were, where's the work of the or- Garization may be continued

 'The Phoenician Club is chartered under the laws of the state of Alabama" said MT. Bite, and it's membership in- cludes the representative Syrian busi- ness and professional men of this com munity. The club is five years old and at present we are holding our meetings at the Y. M. c. A., through the cour- tesy of this organization. This makes 1t very plain why we want a home of our own, because we do not wish to abuse hospitality, which has been so generously extended us"

MISS THAMES WEDS
 MIR SMITH

A beautiful home wedding which will he of much interest was that of Miss Laura Thames and MT. James Holmes Smith of Luverne. which was solem- nized Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home of the brides parents MT. and Mrs. w. K. Thames. in Greenville. The apartments were elaborately dec crated in a profusion of ferns, palms and cut flowers, and, in the parlor where the ceremony was performed by Rev. H. Ross Arnold of the Baptist church, an improvised altar was formed of palms, ferns and standarde filled with pink roses
 Preceding the ceremony, "I Love Your and Because Love You" were sung by Misses Margaret Porterfield and Louise Reeland, accompanied by Miss Florence Haygood, who also played the wedding march.
 To the strains of Mendelssohn's we'd ding march. the bridal party entered, led by Miss Ila Cade McCann, who was bridesmaid and wore pink organdy with black hat and carried bouquet of snap dragons. The maid of honor, Miss Lee Long Thames, sister of the bride, came next, and more blue organdy with black hat, and also carried bouquet of pink snap dragons. Little Miss Dorothy Bee land was ring bearer, and was lovely III dalnty dress or accofdeon- -pleateu crgandy with blue ribbons and carried the ring in the heart of white rose.
 The bride and groom entered to- gether. She was stylishly gowned in suit of blue tricotine with brown ac- cessories and carried a shower bouquet of brides roses and lilies of the valley The bride is the younger daughter of Mir and Mrs. W. K. Thames. She was born and reared in Greenville, and has been quite a favorite in the younger social set. Her gracious personality has won many friends.

hope to influence labor itself. We ad- Noeate an honest days work for money received and cooperation between em- nloyer and employees to bring about maximum production of essential com modities- Women can aid the situation materially by demanding less service in the stores; by demanding fewer,c changes in styles (merchants tell us tAat is a big factor in the cost of production), ana by introducing labor saving devices in the home.
 Tt is a good plan for women to look into the price of certain commodities, have discussions on them, find out if there is profiteering and report results to the fair price commissioner. Efforts shohld be made to bring producer and housewife closer together. eliminating unnecessary. handling of products. Women, let us take thought lest in our love for the luxuries of life we find our selves heading straight toward eco- homie and social disaster. If we sit by idly and turn a deaf ear to warning unlimited hard work and years of time will be required to bring the world back to normal But if we all actively unite and put our best effort back of this movement, normal conditions will be restored before we know it.''
