FALLACY
—OF—
In Cheapness.
Wc occupy the position that the term
“cheap,”, as implied by pretending to
•offer any article of goods for less than
its real value is, to deal mildly, mis
leading upon its face, and should be
shunned by sensible, thinking people.
“No shoddy” is our motto for all the
term implies,
To those expecting something for
nothing we cannot supply your wants;
on the other hand, if you desire full
value for your money you are the class
cf custom we are hustling for.
Stas! Stas! Shoes!
We have the best shoes that money
and experience can produce.
Heywood shoes for men, every pair
warranted, ‘‘no shoddy,” $3.50.

Horrors of Past Few Weeks Make
Bartow Man Sid and M id.tative.
THEIR ENORMITY CANNOT BE GRASPED
Calamities Seem Now to Increase and
Our Hearts Should Go Out in
Sympathy to Afflicted
Humanity.
It Is utterly impossible for a man to
grasp the horrors of Martinique. Ev
ery individual case has its heartrend
ing anguish and there are 40,000 of
them, and 1,600 more at St. Vincent.
Here are 300 in the coal mines near
Knoxville and three thousand mourn
ers outside, and every day tells of
some new disaster. The world seems
to be getting used to calamities and
terrible things. They are now a big
part of the battle of life, and if we
are not reconciled to it we do not stop
a moment to ponder the suffering and
crime that is going on. No, we cannot
take it in and the head lines in the
daily papers are all that we have time
or inclination to read. Last night my
wife and I read the pitiful story of
Captain Freeman, of the Roddam, as
he told it at the hospital at St. Lucia
while tenderly lying upon pillows, his
face and hands charred and blackened,
his flesh raw and his eye balls bloody,
and how one after another of his crew
sank in a fiery death until there were
seventeen of them dead upon the deck,
and this was the only vessel of the
sixteen that brought away a living
soul. Ot, it was horrible and filled our
hearts with sorrow and our eyes with
tears. But this was only one case and
there are thousands who would have
had as pitiful a tale to tell if they had
lived to tell it. It is good for us that
we cannot know but a small part of
the horrors of Martinique and St. Vin
cent and on the seas and rivers—one
case is enough. One case of a mother
trying to save her child on a burning
boat on the Mississippi river a few
weeks ago saddened us all, but the
memory of such things scon passes
away and we forget it until another
comes. Only last week the papers told
of a man, a brute, who got angry with
his little boy of six years and after
slapping him to the floor picked him
up bodily and raised him above his
head and dashed him down and crush
ed the life out of his little body and
his mother picked him up a corpse,
while the life blood spouted from his
mouth and nose. The recital made me
sick and sad. The little boy, I believe,
is in heaven, but the poor, heart-bro
ken mother has to stay and keep guard
over the other three. Merciful Father,
when will these things cease to be;
when will woman learn that it is bet
ter to live and die single than to chain
herself to a man whose character for
loving kindness has not been estab
lished in the community. Girls, let me
beseech you to take no chances. Bea
shop girl, a typewriter, a seamstress, a
book agent or anything that is pure
and honest rather than the wife of a
heartless brute and the mother of his
children. Take no chances. The young
men of this generation are a hard lot—
not more than two in ten are fit to
marry. Count them up in your own
community and ask your brother about
them. How many does he know who
he would be willing for his sister to
marry.
But I was ruminating about these
horrible disasters and the grief that
follows in their wake. Death is not so
terrible a thing. Very often it comes
in mercy and is a blessing. A peaceful
death to the aged is a triumphant
change—the end of trouble and the
beginning of happiness. But it is the
time and the manner of death. Fitz
Greene Halleek never wrote a more
beautiful verse than his apostrophe
to death:
“Come when the blessed seals
That close the pestilence are broke
And crowded cities wail its stroke;
Come in consumption’s ghastly form,
The earthquake’s shock, the ocean’s
storm;
And thou art terrible—the tear,
The groan, the knell, the pall,the bier;
And all we know or dream or fear
Of agony are thine.”
It looks like some of these awful
things are getting close to us. These
Windward islands are on our side of
the work?, and not so far away. Even
now the wind is blowing their ashes
on our coasts, and the eaith is quak
ing under Florida. The explosion of
coal mines at Coal Creak is the first
horror of that kind in our southland,
and no pen can picture the scene of
those imprisoned men writing their
last loving words to wives and chil
dhen as they gasped for breath—may
the Lohd have mercy upon them and
temper the wind to the shorn lamb.
To all who are in peril and all who
are bereaved, we would breathe the
poor fisherman’s prayer: “Oh Lord,
good Lord, I am a broken down poor
man —a fool to speak to Thee—l am
too old, too old—my lads are drowned
lar-ies died so long ago that I forgot
what they were like. I know they
went to Thee, but I-forget their little
faces, though I missed them sore. Mer
ciful Lord, please comfort those who
have heavy hearts. I cannot pray
with finer words; I have no learning—
too old, too oid; but, good Lord, have
pity on them all.”
It is sad to have to write of sad
things, but the wise man said: “It is
better to go to the house of mourning
than to the house of feasting.” It Is
good for us all to stop and think and
let OUr hearts open wide in sympathy.
Man is to blame for most of his own
troubles, and “man’s inhumanity to
man makes countless thousands
mourn;” but that is not tse darkest
side of the picture. It is man’s in
humanity that brings most all of the
distress that women and children suf
fer. If everybody was good and kind,
what a blessed word we wouid have.
May the Lord pity us all is my prayer,
and we ail die the death of the right
eous and our last end be like his. —
Bill Arp, in Atlanta Constitution.
A BRACE OF NEW BiSHOPi
Elected at Conference of the Metho
dist Ep ! scopal Church Assem
bled in Dallas, Texas.
In the Methodist conference at Dal

Dr. Wainwright, from the Japan
mission, explained the situation of
Methodism in that country and advo

clauses w’as taken up and adopted,
and then the report as a whole was
adopted.
On the second ballot no candidate
was e jected, each failing to receive a
majority of the votes.
Between the ballots the session -was
devoted to consideration of the finance
committee report, proposing to raise
$5,000,000 as an investment or endow
ment fund, the proceeds of which is to
go to the support of superannuated
preachers, their widows and orphans.
This feature of the report was adopt
ed without material change.
Dr. James Cannon, Jr., offered an
amendment to the finance committee
report *o set aside SIOO,OOO of Nash
ville city bonds in which part of the
war claim money has been invested,
and make it a nucleus for the $5,000,-
000 superannuated fund. He earnest
ly advocated his amendment.
Mr. Fishburn, Dr. Whitehead, Mr.
Millsap and others vigorously opposed
the Cannon amendment, which was
finally laid on the table.
The report was adopted as a whole.
The two new bishops elected are E.
E. Hoss, of Tennessee, on the first
bal ot, and A. Coke Smith, of Virginia,
on the fourth ballot.

A New York dispatch says: The
executive committee of Tammany hail,
composed of tho assembly district
leaders, met Thursday and adopted
two resolutions offered by Alderman
T. P. Sullivan. The first resolution
advised -the general committee of

three, to consist of Charles F. Murphy,
Daniel F. McMahon and Louis F. Haf
fen, to constitute an advisory conr
mittee, with power to act and to re
port from time to time to the execu
tive committee. This resolution was

an amendment that the thirty-seven
district leaders be constituted the
leaders of Tammany hall. Mr. Car
roll’s amendment was defeated by a
vote of Bto 28. The resolution author
izing the advisory committee was then
adopted. The district leaders who

ker Old Guard,” supported the pro
posed changes.
