There is considerable comment in Texas in

as precauton and warning only to the settlers in
this disputed territory and as purely matter of

that Greer county would soon be settled up with in
dustrCus ana prosperous farmers, and would be

territory it Will be leased by large cattle companies
and be a great annoyance to the people in having
their cattle driven in 1.-The territory, and they
would not be allowed to drive them back account
oft being under the supervision of an Indian agent
of the United States government. Farmers have
heretofore been greatly worried with constant and
continued round-urs of their cattle by large
cattle companies and their cattle, driven
from their accustomed ranges, and some
times driven of, and they forced in the busy
season to Quit the farm work and attend these con-
start round-ups to keep their cattle at home. The
people of Greer county have lost their best friend

county. James Hall, a nephew Of the sheriff,
was shot in the shoulder and seriously hurt.
Sheriff Dicus received two balls in his body,
4 producing two wounds, neither of which arc
serious. The shooting grew out of an old fued
which has existed between the parties for
years. They met on the street at Scottsboro
in the afternoon, and without saying a word
drew their reyolvers and began shooting at
each other, with the result rs stated. Seven
shots were fired, five of which took effect. The
affair caused quite sensation, as all the par
ties are well known. Dicus was arrested.

cision in case which perhaps has no parallel
in legal annals.
A man in Robinson county was indicted
for disturbing religious worship-a
grave misdemeanor in this state. 1t was stated
that he was a member of Methodist church,
and that he sang in such way as to disturb
the entire congregation, his voice being heard
after the voices of all the other singers had
ceased. The case went before the superior
interesting. All these facts were brought
out. y witness, asked to give description of
the defendants singing, requested permission
TO initiate it, and SO perfectly did he reproduce
the voice and manner of the defendant rs to
produce bursts OF laughter which, irresistible
and prolonged, convulsed alike the spectators
the lawyers, the jury and the Judge, 1t was
i'll evidence that the disturbance in the church
caused by the singing was decided and serious,
its effect being TO make one part OF the concre-
cation laugh and to make the other half very
angry, the frivolous and irreligious enioying It
as fun, while the devout and serious were in
dignant. Ii was further shown that the con-
that the preacher had positively declined TO
give ont any hymns, and that the presiding
elder Of the district had refused TO conduct
services in the church nj all.
The defendant did not object to this evil
dence. He was pat upon the stand in his own
behalf. the law Of the state allowing the de-
PENDANTS in any sort ot case to thus testify. He
said he was n conscientious singer, and that
though he knew his voice was not musical, his
conscience reproved him ii he did not sing
every time q church song was raised.
The judge nevertheless charged the jury
that it was a disturbance of religious services
in the meaning Of the act, and the defendant
was convicted. He took an appeal 70 the SUI
prcme court, which rendered the opinion that

The Drink Problem of To-Day.

The future of America trembes in
| "a perilous and dancing balance"
| which to-day Is to be weighed oa the
one side or the other. There has come
q most momentous hour-a time of de-
cision. To-day the question shall be
decided whether America will face the
liquor traffic, and the issue which it
presents. In the history of this nation
there came time when it was decided
to settle the question of slavery. That
great iniquity had grown up among the
people from u small beginning. In 1887
the fathers of our republic decided to
allow it to exist in the new born Fedora
ton, hoping it would languish and die
in an atmosphere of freedom. But il
lived and flourished till it became
menace TO national life and prosperity.
Still the politicians refused to face 1t,
and as Thurlow Weed wrote in the New
York Tribune of August 25, 1878: For
full thirty years expedients were from
time to lime resorted to for the pur-
pose of Shaving off rather than solving
the question. During these thirty years
the slave power became iusolent and
drIOSduG, 6uo uOCIIlHc vi Secession was
taught throughout the South. When,
in 1854, the time clock of God struck
the hour of high noon, and called his
people for the last time to destroy
human slavery, the nation was finally
prepared to meet the issue, but the
settlement could come in no way but
through four years of horIid civil war
To-day there is a greater evil in the
land than was human slavery. The
liquor traffic is, as DR.. Pentecost has
said, "a thousand times greater in it's
bad results than was slavery. The
question now is: Shall it be protected
and perpetuated, or shall it be pro-
hibited? Judge Rhone has said: "irhis
question was booming as early as 1S47,
and has since been hushed only by the
din of two wars and the death rattle of
slavery" Bnt now it must be faced; it
must be settled. or 1t will settle us. 1t
must be made the paramount question
of our politics, and must be solved In
righteousness. To delay it is danger
Gus, is fatal. As the nations of times
past have been destroyed-as lin the
measure that nations have su.cumbed
