Carrying Civilization
 to the Mountain People

A LITTLE band of teachers, edu- A cational workers and mission aries are making a gallant fight to enlighten the mountain people of the south. Their battle ground is re- mote from the outside world, and few echoes of what they are doing are heard in the busy cities of the land, but theirs is the zeal of cru saders and their work, in spite of many obstacles, is being pushed for ward from year to year with in- creased success.
 The ninth annual conference of the Mountain Teachers was held recently at Knoxville, Tenn. One of the speakers was President Frost of Be- req, who has resigned after 28 years of service. in his address he called attention to the fact that the noun tain region of the south, lying in the virginias, the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky, is an area larger than the whole Ger man empire.
 The people who inhabit this large territory not only constitute the pur- est Anglo-Saxon stock in America, but they are the most primitive. Con- ditions have changed but little since their ancestors first settled in the mountains. They are almost as re- mote from modern civilization as if they lived on another continent that is century or more behind the times. Most of them have descended from Revolutionary soldiers and in some counties there is not a single negro or foreigner.
 These people do not need much "up- lifting" as the term is used by re-

Cheaper Coal Now or
 Higher Coal Later on

IT 0OUSEHOLDERS, retail coal LII dealers and factory and mill users of coal should not indulge in their usual summer siesta with regard to their coal supply. The warning has been issued several times. It had better be needed. Coal will advance in price from now on.
 Let no one indulge in delusions. Protesting will do no good. It is a case of cheaper coal now or higher priced coal this fall and winter.
 Two leading factors stand against cheaper coal. The one is freight rates, the other is labor. Every one knows about the freight rates. Even though the advance of last August is eliminated by the railroad labor board, there will remain the several advances made up to that time.
 The bituminous coal mines are pay ing the war wage scale and are bound to that scale until next March.
 Moreover, it should be borne in mind that the coal digger is but one of 60 to 70 classes of mine workers employed at collieries and each class of labor got the same percentage of advance as the digger by the bitu- minous coal commission award.
 Finally, there will be the usual fall congestion of railroad cars. That may be relied on, because every one wishes to move everything at the same time. Contain industries may again be ham, pered by having all open-top cars di- verted to the use of the coal mines.
 The wise will take note of these conditions and buy coal now. The op- orator of a factory should buy so that in getting out his coal domestic coal will also be produced.

Where Fine Is Preferable
 to Violating a Confidence

A LEGAL battle that lasted five EA years and extended from the criminal court at Denver, Col, to the United States supreme court, was ended when Judge Ben B. Lindsey paid fine of $500 imposed for con- tempt of court.
 The famous juvenile judge was fined because he refused to violate a boys confidence. The case was one of the most unique that ever figured in American courts and while Judge Lindsey did not receive the vindica- tion that he may have expected, at the bar of public opinion he is vindi- cated.
 On strictly legal grounds he was held in contempt of court by the highest tribunal in the land. That is the last word so far as the law is concerned, but there are many in stances where a strict interpretation of the law is contrary both to the dic- tates of common sense and humanity.
 Judge Lindsey has lost his fight without impairing his usefulness. After all, $500 with court costs added. making the total amount paid $531, is not large sum to lose for the sake of a principle.

Birmingham Gets Fine
 Free Advertisement

ID BIRMINGHAM BUILDING 400 ID RESIDENCES" is the red ink heading of the current letter to sales men of one of the country's largest prepared roofing manufacturers. That Is the kind of advertising that helps city. It shows that the people of Birmingham want homes and that they began building as soon as the costsof building allowed them to do SO.
 In this letter the manager of the company observes:
 What Birmingham is doing will
 soon be happening in every city.

 of the country. The head of the
 building department in Birming- ham declares that tho building N movement there indicates change

 The best feature of this kind of ad- vertisement is that it not only comes free, but Is of superior kind, Capital is much more inclined to in vest in . city where men gre estab- lshing homes than in one where the population rents and does not seem to know where it may be next week or Eext month.
 Birmingham got this advertising without asking for it. It will get Ithe same publicity without seeking 1t for every internal forward step that it takes.
 Lights are not hidden under bushels n this age. The community that cares for itself at home will not need to get on a housetop and beg the out sider to come and see what it has dons, The outsider will discover it

The Make It Million campaign committee Is composed of men of large business affairs, but they are extreme ly economical when It comes to run ming up expenses in connection with the campaign" said pr. Guy E. Snavely, president of Birmingham Southern college. who is chairman of the committee.
 You know we have our headquar- ters on the first floor of the Tutwiler in an anteroom to the lobby and some of our friends thought that we must be paying very large sum in rent. It happened. however. that through the courtesy of Manager Halfacre of the Tutwiler, we are given free use of these quarters and are arso provided with furniture and fixtures all with out any cost whatever
 T explained this to some of our friends who were greatly relieved to know we were spared this expense and I told them they could rely upon the business judgment of the committee. not to spend a cent that was not neces- sary or dictated by good business policy"

Dry Goods, Wearing Apparel At Lowest Levels, Says Holway

No further reductions in the prices of dry goods and wearing apparel are to be expected this year, and in some lines there will even be tendency to react somewhat from the reduc- tons of the last few months, accord 'ng to w. F. Holway, manager of the J. c. Penney Company store here, wEo returned yesterday from a meet ing at Salt Lake City of all managers n western states and directors and buyers of New York.
 Holway reports that market condi- tions in general are stabilizing. He said that 1t is a mistake to refrain from buying now in the hopes of get ting lower prices in the near future He placed practically normal orders for fall merchandise in full eonfi- denee that an early return to normal business conditions in the Warren District Is to be expected
 Of all the western copper camps, Helway said, Bisbee is in by far the best condition, and business men and residents of other camps consider Bisbee to be very fortunate.

GAMBLING CASE
 JURY BRINGS IN .
 GUILTY VERDICT
Testimony Of Two Officers Is Sufficient To Convict Man
 Of Playing Black Jack

Consternation spread rapidly yes terday among the habitues of Bis bees social clubs and centers of learning when the news was received that conviction in a gambling case had been obtained before "a jury in the superior court at Tombstone. c. P. Slack, one of the seven who were arrested several months ago in raid on the Broadway rooming house, was found guilty by the jury on charge of gambling.
 The verdict by the. jury marked the first conviction in gambling case that has been secured in the county in many months, although many similar cases have been nrought to trial. The verdict was the more surprising to local attorneys, judges and peace officers, in that the evidence presented was not nearly as conclusive as has been the case OH numerous occasions here when the defendant has been acquitted. It is taken by the jurists and officers to indicate change of sentiment on the part Of the public and juries, and a desire to see the existing laws with regard to gambling enforced
 In instructing the jury Jtdge Lock rood reminded them that they had sworn that they believed that the gambling laws should be enforced, and that they were under the neces- 5ity of bringing in verdict Of guilty
 the evidence presented was such $ to leave no doubt in their minds that gambling had been proven. The jury accepted the evidence of two Bis6ee police ofGieers, Mooney and Brakefteld. who swore that game of blackjack" was in progress, as opposed to the evidence of four who were arrested in the raid who testi- fled that there was no gambling go- ing on.
 C. P. Slack was arrested several months ago in company with Tim Me Carty, L. A. Richie, J. P. Chase, Tom Davis, Emil Hoagblom and Clint Thomas. He was represented in court by Frank E. Thomas Of Howell, nd the charge was prosecuted by John E. Sanders, city attorney, and Walter Roche, assistant county attor- ney.
 At the conclusion of the trial of Slack the trial Of Tim McCarty was begun. It was found that only IT jurors were left on the jury panel, and although the prosecution offered to waive the right Of one challenge, counsel for tine defense objected to proceeding until a full panel of Is jurors could be obtained. The case was then continued until May 24. The charges against each of the seven will be brought to trial separately, except that the charge against Clint Thomas was dismissed as he is now serving a term in the penitentiary, having been convicted on 9 charge of violating tho liquor laws.
