 The Social Purity league IS osecutlng vigorous campaign, and is receiving the support of various religious bodies. 1t has been proposed that conference be held for the consideration of suppressing the social evil, to which all the London repre- sentatives in parliament, the members of the London county council and other gov erning bodies shall be invited.
 Among many statements which have given rise to severe criticism is an assertion by Mrs. Osmiston Chaint, one oflhe leaders of the purity league movement, that she knew of one Em pire music hall girl who was earning f30 week from life of shame. This statement has drawn from Bernard Shaw, the noted critic, the com ment that this single utterancs Is calculated to make more women turi to life of prostitution in one week than would result from the exhibition of living pictures for ten years.
 The Telegraph prints an interview with 8 woman of the town, who declares that the life she is leading suits her and that she does not want any better one. She de- clares that she is happy and that all the girls of her acquaintance feel as she does.

 Tom Martin, a badly wanted negro, is locked safe within the county jail to an swer to three charges of burglary.
 Several valuable articles have been missed recently by various parties and the in- dications pointed to Tom Martin and an- other negro named Jake as the thieves who had carried away these things.
 Search warrants were issued out of Jus- tice of the Peace Benners' court and placed in the hands of Constable C.. w. Austin to execute. He asked Deputy Sheriff Tom Jones to go with him to look for the miss- tug goods Saturday night, and they pro- ceeded to the negro quarters between Jonesville and Enon Ridge. As they ap- proached they heard pistol shots in front of them, and going farther they overlook and arrested Martin, but Jake made good bis escape by fast running. Both the ofd- C. IFS si,ot at him as he ran off, but if they hl! tlin they did not know 1t.
 Going on to Jake's house they found about $2O0 worth of stolen articles, consist ing of watches, rings, silverware, chains, etc., and an Oxford Bible, which had been recently stolen from Birmingham minis ter.
 The arrest was made about midnight Friday night, and Martin was at once brought to the county jail and locked up.
