MIR. Howren's Lecture.

Mr.. Henry D. Howren lectured in
the Methodist church Monday night and
last night We go to press too early
Tuesday nights to make any re-
port of last nights lecture, but that on
Monday night sparkled with truth, wit
beauty, and metaphor. Mr.. Howren's style
is not always polished, nor his periods
rounded, but with the force of originality
and of personal experience, he holds the
attention of his audience. His subject was
prohibition of accursed alcohol. He spoke
not specially for the reclamation Of the drink
inc man and the drunkard, for, as he truly
says, naught but the grace of God can save
O drunkard from dishonoratle grave, but
to warn the young not to touch the dam
ming draught 1t was the palace saloons,
and enticlns and allrring so-called respec-
table barrooms, that were dread curse.
There was no danger to the young from the
low fifth class dives where everything was
impure and repulsive. He repudiated the
idea of a respectable barroom, but dlsclalm-
ed any attack on the barkeepers. 1t was
the church members who were to blame Tor
patronizing and supporting the bars. A
barkeeper was rascal, but the drlnker
vas fool, without sense sufficient to keep
from plum ging forward to his own destruc-
ton.
Mr.. Howren was introduced by Mir. n.
Clinton Galluchat, end spoke for about an
hour. The church was well filled by an
attentive and interested congregation.
Mr.. Howren is an educated, intellig ent
gentleman. graduate of Emory College:
He has held high political positions, and
for several years past has been reporter
for the dail y newspapers. He isa reformed
drunkard, and appears to be deeply IN earn
est in his work.

Hr. B. L. Gowdy's U. $. Pension Case.

~~
The Charleston Sunday Ne,os says that
last Saturday in the United States District
Court, Judge Simonton presiding, the only
case tried was that of the Government
against Benjamin L. Gowdy, of Clarendon
county, on the charge of receiving more
than the S25 allowed by law for collecting a
pension claim.
The case is out of the usual run Of those
which come up in the District Court, and
the whole day was consumed in the trial.
Gowdy, the defendant, is respectable look
ing white man He was instrumental IN
prosecuting the pension claim OF Mrs. Ma
~ ConyerS, to whom a pension was granted
as widow of Straa Conyers, soldier IN the
war Of 1912. Gowdy eventually collected
the pension, amounting to $3.50. 63, but it was
charged that be had withheld a part Of the
pension in violation of the Revised Statutes
of the United States, which make it unlaw-
full for anyone to receive more than SIS Tor
collecting pension. It was charged, in
other words, that the defendant had appro-
priated $500 Of the amount paid on account
Of the claim, and given only S3SO.63 to Mrs.
Conyers.
Tie defence admitted the receiving of
the money in payment Of the pens.on, and
showed that Gow6y had paid the money
over TO Mrs Conyers, but at the same time
had borrowed $500 of it from her, giving
her a note for the loan. He claimed that he
had since taken up the note. The jury
failed to agree, however, as to the guilt Of
the defendant and mistrial was ordered.
Mrs. Conyers, the pensioner in the above
case, has also been indicted by the grand ju-
~ for obtaining pension under false pre-
tences and will be tried at the present term
of the court.
