 MT. Georges Training
 Asked as to where he received his education, MT. George said:
 T am graduate of the Over brook School for the Blind in Phila- delphia. I have also had special training at Perkins Institute at Bos- ton, Mass, at Schober's basket fac tory in Philadelphia, at South Boston Workshop for the Blind and at the Pennsylvania Workshop for the Blind in Philadelphia"
 Have you been a teacher in other associations besides the Birmingham Association for the Blind?" I asked.
 Mir. George replied:
 T have done private teaching in Philadelphia; l have taught with the Delaware commission for the blind at Wilmington, Del. I have taught at three different times with the New York association for the blind in New York city and have worked with the New Orleans commission for the blind. For the past eight years I have been teaching with the Louisiana State School for the Blind at Baton Rouge. La.'
 Recreation
 What recreation do enjoy most?" Mir. George repeated the question asked Music Is my great est recreation. About three years ago l discovered that had a voice and I begun my studies and I have enjoyed it so much. l have had the pleasure of singing in several diff ferent churches in Birmingham since l came here and while I have always loved music, l am even fond CT of it now than ever before be- cause I have studied it.
 Music for the blind is written very much as our books are writ ten-with raised letters; the 3raille system is used-'dots'-you under stand-and is very complete.
 We have the Christian Record and the Zeigler Magazne-both pub lished monthly-printed by the Braille method: also the new books novels, essays, travel and biogra- phy. Of course often we don't get these books for maybe year or two years after they are published--but We eventually get them.

Explosion of Range
 Tank Injures Two

Marion. August .)-A range tank while being tested by John Block. manager of the Marion water works. this afternoon at the city water plant exploded and as result his left arm was badly broken between the hand and elbow and both shoulders and his neck and face mutilated by the explosion. 1t is not known yet whether his eyes arc affected as the doctors gave him ether to set the arm and dress the other wounds.
 Peyton Tutwiler. city clerk, was with Block at the time and had both of his hands badly bruised, but 1t Is thought that no bones were broken.
 Both were rushe- across the street to the Marion Ir tltate hospital and Doctors Swann, Hanna and Robinson were there within few minutes to minister to their relief. It is hoped that Mir. Blocks wounds may not be as serious as 1t might appear at this time.

WOMAN'S ILLS MAKE UNHAPPY
 HOME

There is no question but what the ills of women conspire against domestic harmony The husband cannot understand these troubles and the physician finds it hard to cure them; therefore the overworked wife and mother continues to drag around day in and day out with headaches and backache fretful and nervous.
 Such women should be guided by the ex- perience of women whose letters we are continually publishing in this paper. Many of them declare that they have been re- stored to health. strength and cons equent happiness by Lydia E. Pinkham's vege- table Compound after doctors and all other medicines had failed to help them. It will surely pay women who suffer from such ailments to try it.-Adv.

 Get Alabama Power
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington Bureau, The Age-Herald,
 800 Davidson Building.
 Washington. August 3l.-(Speciall F. w. shealy. coal distributor for South Carolina, conferred in Wash ington today with representatives of the Alabama Power company re- Garding the possibility of the com- pany relieving the industrial dis tress in South Carolina incident to the coal strike. Numerous mills, for want of coal, have already shut down in that state.
 It is understood that the agents of the power company held out hope to Shealy that relief could be ex- tended by the company operating the steam plant of the government at Muscle Shoals at full capacity. Ger tain South Carolina mills are equip ped for the use of electric power. These mills if aided from Alabama. could turn over their coal supply to the mills depending exclusively on coal.
 The result of the negotiations to- day were transmitted to. the home office of the company in Birming- ham.

 Every blind person should have some vocation-just as every one who isn't blind should make a@spe- can come to the sightless through work than In any other way"
 Mrs. Willis Work
 When I had the pleasure of i4eet- ing Mir George a few days ago, it was through the lovely Mrs. Mary Hard Willis, whose splendid work as director of the Birmingham As sociation for the Blind has placed it in the efficient condition 1t now enjoys and whose sweet. unselfisn, motives in bringing light to the sightless has endeared her to scores of people.
 Mrs. Willis commendation of MT. Georges work must be recorded right here, so listen to what she says:
 .'The Birmingham Association for the Blind feels that in securing the services of MT. George as teacher of vocational and physical wolk we have placed our feet upon the first rung of the ladder which will lead to successful endeavor.
 "Mr. George is so well equipped to accomplish wonderful work among the blind. and do you know that there are more than 150 blind people in Birmingham?
 "Of these, about IS are now en- toying our little cottage, which the of al fN.. l-f, us.
 Another splendid thing that has been done is that the library has nice department of books for the blind.
 "Still further. would like to men, tion the kindness of Mrs Edna Cock el Gussen. director of the Birming- ham Conservatory of Music, whose pupil, Miss Virginia Cartee, one of the instructors in the state insti- tute for the blind, at Talladega. will give a concert for the benefit of our association in the early fall. This concert was planned by Mrs. Gussen to take place in July, but 1t was deemed advisable to postpone 1t un- til a little later because of so many of the musical people being out of town, The Junior league has ap- pointed committee to work for the association for the blind--in fact everybody has been wonderful in cordial cooperation and we are most grateful
 Within the last year I have wis ited several cities where work simi- lar to ours is being done for the blind; notably the meeting in Hous- ton. Tex, last month of the Ma tional Association of Instructors of the Blind and later stopping en route home in New Orleans, and when I looked over the field I was very happy over the progress that we have made here.
 T also went to Jackson. Miss, by invitation again, to assist in organ izing a state association for the blind and once more I found tha. our six months work here-for our as- sociation is only six months old had progressed splendidly and ac- complished most satisfying results" !"

A Statement To The Voters
OF The Fifteenth Legis-
latiye District: .

Having been nominated by the republican party
for Representative from the Fifteenth Legislative
District of Barnes county desire at this time to
make an outline of my aims and purposes if elected
First i stand for good business methods in run
ming the affairs of state for the enforcement of the
laws and for the protection of the rights of all. |
know of no legislation which will make it rain, in
crease the crops raise the prices II elected shall
try and see that the business of the public is done
we'll and as far as possible relieve you OF your tax
burdens
Any legislation that lessons the cost of elections
will meet with my support and believe that the prl-
mary law needs lot Of amendment.
There many commissions and bureaus that
now exist, furnishing small army of men with jobs
that are unnecessary They help pile up the tax bill
and I am in favor of repeating them.
The printing law needs amendment. We stated in
this paper time ago that it was an unjust law
as it is now written and we shall vote to repeal that
bill and pass that fair to the people and to the
printers of the state.
If the farms of the state are to be saved to the
owners who have worked all these years to obtain
them, economy and reduction must be the basis OF
the next legislative session. If elected pledge you
my earnest support and vote to any measure that
will bring down taxation. cannot say that can &C.
compsh these things - being only one member in
about hundred and fourteen if elected - but it
each man elected pledges himself to do this we should
get legislature that pass remedial legislation.
The Fifteenth District is necessary to obtain ma
jorty in the house that if you want these things
accomplished and believe that the independent pro-
gram is the best for all concerned | ask your sup
port and vote on November 7.
Respectfully submitted

WHERE THE BLAME LIES

Even among the bitter opponents Of
the Nonpartisan league is encountered
occasionally, disposition to make ex-
cuses for Lynn J Frazier and place
the blame for the maladministratioh
of the state affairs during his re-
gine, chiefly on Messrs. Townley and
Lemke.
Yet Mr.. Frazier is the man who
must shoulder the lions share of the
blame. He alone had the veto power
under the law creating the industrial
commission in the management of the
states industries and at any time he
had full power to force the other two
members to accept any condition he
laid down. His powers were absolute
to the extent of preventing action at
least.
When he was informed that the af-
fairs of the honebuilders department
were being improperly conducted he
had the power to correct the abuses.
And certainly he was informed. If
nobody else informed him, The Forum
certainly did. 1t warned him repeat
eddy that the department was being
grossly mismanaged. Mr.. Frazier
must have known that such charges
could not be made without some basis
in fact. 1t was his business to inves-
tigate and stop the leakages.
And in the case of the Scandinavian
American bank his offense was even
more objectionable. He was told by
one OF his own supporters that the
oank was insolvent. j. w. Brintonx
who was then one of the staunch sup
porters of the league, told Governor
Frazier in strict confidence the true
condition Of the bank. He warned him
as friend and as a political sup
porter. His reward was to have his
confidential letter turned over to MI.
Lemke to be published and Mr.. Brin-
ton was then denounced as crook and
a traitor to the league.
The same conditions existed in the
matter of the state mill at Drake and
the various other departments of the
government. Mr.. Frazier, as COVER
nor, repeatedly had his attention call
ed to the reckless, extravagant and in
efficient manner to which all of these
industries were being conducted. He
had full power to correct the abuses
greater power than the other two
members Of the industrial cimmission
combined. Yet he did nothing. He
permitted this gross Encouragement
to continue, and he cannot escape full
responsibility for it today.
Possibly Mr.. Frazier has not sought
to make personal profit from the lea
que movement as Mr.. Lelnke and Mr..
Townley have done. He has not cap
italized the farmers movement for his
own personal advantage as they did,
but his responsibility for the complete
failure of the program is greater
than theirs, and he is no more desir-
able as a public official than Mr.. Lem
Ike is.-Forum.
