WHAT HEFLIN THINKS OF SUFFRAGE:
• This woman suffrage movement is the greatest peril now
threatening the English-speaking people.
The family is the social unit, the harmonious whole, with
one head, not two heads.
Sex antagonism will spring up in the wake of woman suf
frage, and the sentiment betwen the sexes will he destroyed.
In the mad clamor for the ballot, women are hazarding
much, and entering on a perilous journey.
1’pon the home-loving, man-trusting, consecrated Chris
tian women of the United States rests the safety of our insti
tutions and the perpetuity of the republic.
WHAT HEFLIN THINKS OF DRESS:
The evil genius of lustful fashion through immodest dress
is playing havoc with a certain class of women, a id setting
a had example for others.
The woman who teaches her daughter modesty and good
sense has done more for her day and her generation than-she
ever could by active participation in politics.
WHAT SUFFRAGISTS THINK OF HEFLIN:
Ignorance in some people may he excused, but not in a
member of Congress, and I think every Congressman and Sen
ator ought to be made to take a course in constitutional his
tory before being permitted to speak in public.—MHs. JESSIE
HARDY STUBBS, prominent suffrage leader.
J. THOMAS HEFLIN.
“Barrington,”
Ten Years,
a Mystery After

His Innocence.
Alabama <)rator Stops Eulogies ()n King Cotton
to Deliver Philippics Against Suffrage
and Slit Skirts.
Congressman J. Thomas Heflin, of
the Fifth District of Alabama, is the
silver-tongued, lusty-lunged spell
binder of Democracy. He is the By
ronic, Bryanic orator whose voice has
been raised in the hall of Congress
on every subject from the extermina
tion of the boll weevil to tne anni
hilation of the trust octopus. He has
gained national fame and the undying
love of his Black Belt constituents by
shooting at a Washington negro who
“gassed” him It is plain that “Cot
ton Tom” has done much.
But the gentleman from Alabama
is nothing if not energetic, and so
pined he for new worlds to conquer.
Back he thrust a raven lock, and with
a glint of determination in his eye, he
sallied forth on a deed of new em
prise. Woman, frail woman, her fads
foibles, her faults and fancies, was
the windmill against which he would
shiver his lance. He would make his
war against the silt skirt, the diaph
anous dress, the equal ballot, and
other lunacies of the new woman
And he has. They heard from him
first in Washington, w hen he said the
dress of the day was inspired by
“the evil genius of lustful fashion."
The big guns of his eloquence, that
once were trained on the bulls and
the bears of stock gambling, were
directed then with no less sincerity
against lighter things.

Then he went to 'Lynchburg, Va.,
where he spoke before a Y. M. C. A.
gathering. And he said:

Girls' Confessions

Los Angeles Presbytery Hopes to
Bring Out the Story of Dr.
Mason’s Wooing.
LOS ANGELES. Sept. 6—-At a spe
cial session of the Ix>s Angeles Pres
bytery the entire story of Dr. O. H.
L. Mason's indiscretions with two
young women in his church are ex
pected to be revealed.
For two months a contest has been
waged in the First Presbyterian
Church, Long Beach, between those
who wanted the pastor to resign and
those who sought to have him re
tained.
The offic ers of the church have sub
mitted a statement to the Presbytery
in which they say Dr. Mason con
fessed he took one of the girls to a
Los Angeles cafe, w’here she drank
wine and he had lemonade with
something stronger in it.
They have also placed before the
Presbytery a *lgned statement by the
other in which she says that the
pastor made love to her, held her in
his lap and caressed her and finally
made such advamses that she no
longer could accept bis display of
affection as paternal.

is the greatest peril now threatening
the English speaking people.”
It seems that the doughty gentle
man from Alabama has indeed found
a new world to conquer. The tongue
that once proclaimed the glory of
King Cotton is consecrated to the
crusade against woman, silly Woman.
The accents that once awoke the
echoes in hill and dale of the Fifth
District, as it proclaimed falteringly
“Oh, My People,” now faltered on a
new mission.
Not that the gentleman Is without
chivalry. Listen:
“I stand with uncovered head at the
shrine of a gentle, modest woman
hood,” he said in the Lynchburg
speech. “They are golden links in,
the endless chain of the Almighty’s
plan to people the earth with be
ings whom God with His own image
biased.”
rt is worthy of Heflin at his be-st.
Cati't you hear the voice quaver, with
the same old tremolo effects? Mr.
Heflin is still the gallant Southron,
for all his mission agains the frail
ties of the gentler sex.
Suffragettes and modistes, they are
saying in Washington, would do well
to run for cover, for "Cotton Tom”
is tireless. And these purveyors to
woman’s fancies are not the only sor
row-stricken multitude. Congressman
Thomas Heflin’s new crusade does
not l£nd itself to anything that is
known of his repertoire of rather ex
cellent jokes.

A plantation story Heflin-told is
the best remedy for dullness. Prob

ST LOUIS, Sept. 6.— Efforts to ob
tain 4 parole or pardon for F. A. Bar
rington Seymour, the notorious "Lord
Barrington,” serving a life sentence
for the murder of James P. McCann
near St. Louis in 1902, are revealed by
a member of the State Pardon Board.
Strangely, the woman whom Bar
rington married, and who was chiefly
instrumental in his exposure as an
impostor, is said to be deeply In
terested In the fight for his freedom.
That the United States Department
of Justice will be drawn into the case
seems certain, as “Barrington’s” chief
point in his defense is that the man
he was convicted of slaying is now
alive in the person of James P. May-
bray, whose band of horse and foot
racing swindlers was broken up by
tihe Federal Government after many
of them had been sent to prison.
The "Barrington" trial, which formed
an international c?fse on account of
the defendant’s claims to British no
bility, has proved a bone of conten
tion and a mystery to the police for
ten years. Opinion as to the prison
er’s guilt hay been divided.
The greatest point made against
“Barrington” at the time of his trial
was the fact that his claims of birth
i .,. . were not proven. Even in the history

“Ah. my people! I have worked

But he has found a new world to

to conquer it.
However, he is not going unchal

an answer so heated and indignant
that it seems a sad day indeed for
the gentleman from Alabama w'hen
he framed his new campaign, and
pulled down thereby the capable in- ;
veetive of American suffragettedom J
on his head.
The answer comes from Mrs. Jessie
Hardy Stubbs, of the Congressional
committee of the National Suffrage
Association. It is Just such a clinch
ing answer that a confident suffra- !
gette would be expected to make, a J
smiling, supercilious, "pity-the-mere- i

Mrs. Stubbs suggests that Mr. Hef- j
lin, together with other Congressmen, I
be forced to take a oeurse in consti- j
tutional history. Certain incidents to j
which he referred in his speech, she j
said, were dead and done away with !
years ago.
“Somebody ought to inform Mr. j
Heflin that, the world has moved on,” i
she says. “I don’t believe he willfully i

and Godbee became administrator of

The couple moved to Millen. and it

hconomy in buying a piano consists of getting’ the best
strnment that can be made to sell at the price you want to pay.
It does not necessarily consist in obtaining an instrument at
a low price, because some pianos and player-pianos are expen
sive at any figure.
But there is a limit beyond which you can not
.chase of an instrument without paying too much.
You should expect to give what the piano is worth, but you
should also expect to get the full equivalent of your money.
I hat principle'is the basis of our selling policy, and we are
prepared to show our patrons that every instrument is marked at
a lair price.
You can pay as much as $1,250.00 for one of our pianos or
as low as $195.00. In any case you get the full value of vour in
vestment. In other words, you buv economically
