", met to-day and found that AS bal
lots lacked the signature Of the judges,
as required by law. The board adjourned
until Monday, when AttOrney-General

IS n conflict in the law, one section de-
claring that no ballot shall be counted
which lacks the signature Of O. judge.
while another section states tina. such
ballots shall be counted. IL will probably
be taken to the courts by the Democrats.
The AttOrney-General says on this point.

IL the courts declare these ballots Illegal,

MUST STOP USING TOBACCO.
The Apostolic Church Has Made a New
Rule for the Members.
THEY CAN'T DIP SNUFF EITHER
Rev. Mr.. Daughcrty Tells How the move
ment was started-Says IL Is Based
Upon Teachings in the
New Testament.

Tho Anostolic church, IN Fulton, has in
auguratea a crusade against the use and
sale of tobacco on the part OF the mem
bers of the church II has been decided
by the pastor, Rev. John w. Dausherty'
and the deacons OF the church, TO take
this step. and to require every member to
drop the weed In every form, in order to
retain their membership. Those who VIII
not agree to give up tho tobacco habit
Will he stricken off the membership role.
The edict against the use and sale Of
tobacco was promulgated bY tho pastor
from the pulpit Of tho church last sun
dav and most Of the members were
then given an opportunity TO sign the
edlct. and the majority OF them did So.
Mr. Reams. who Is one OF the leading
members OF the church, and who has a
grocery store, is IN business with his
brother. who does not belong TO the Apos-
tolic church. After some argument be-
tween the brothers as to what they would
do. they agreed TO discontinue tho sale
of tobacco. and their stock Of the weed
was disposed Of.
MR.. DAUGHERTY TALKS.
The recent action Of the Apostolic
church. in requiring its members TO drop
the use OF tobacco, met with some oppo-
sition at first There were some Of the
members who had acquired the habit TO

such an extent that it was hard to give
up. Most of them decided 10 do so. how
ever, and there wasn't any hitch IN the
new order of affairs
The Apostolic church is the first in this
part Of the country TO take this step.
The movement has been commented upon
considerably. Rev. Mr. Daugherty the
pastor. In an interview said that some
time ago he decided 10 bring this mat
ter before the church as he considered IL
O. question Of much Importance.
Il had been thinking over the matter
for some time" said he, "and ] came 10
the conclusion that the use Of tobacco is
against the teachings of the scriptures.
Upon the passage in the New Testament
Let us cleanse ourselves from all rlthl-
ness Of the flesh and spirit perfecung
holiness in the fear OF Cod the covenant
which we recently adopted is based.
MUST NOT DIP SNUFF.
This covenant requires each member
Of the church TO agree TO refrain from
the use Of tobacco in any shape and not
to sell il or handle IL in a business way.
In this is also included the practice or
dipping snuff. The signing OF this COW
enant was made q voluntary matter. No
body was threatened or anything Of that
kind. but It was understood that If any
one preferred not TO do so they could
quietly withdraw from the church.
when the covenant was read and the
members asked 10 sign it most of them
chcerfully did so, 1 think most of the
others will also sign H. Few will de-
cline. There has been no trouble over
the movement and ] think st will prove
an excellent dcision on the part Of the
church. | do not think person can
follow the teachings of the scriptures
in the passage quoted without giving up
the tobacco habit"
Mr.. Daughcrty said that the church
now had two hundred and fifty members
ana was I'm a healthy condition.

herewith submitted to the public:
In presenting the teaching of the

atty you VIII notice that the Bible
does not attempt to inculcate any
theories concerning statecraft. 1t lays
down no form OF civil government,
neither fashions civil statutes for the
control of the coming nations of the
earth. 1t undertakes to deal with
moral questions. 1t furnishes such
moral principles, such a moral basis for
laws of equity between man and man,
between man and his creator, as must
legitimately eventuate in the best
forms of civil government when those
principles become dominant.
The scriptures deal with questions of
virtue and vice, assuring virtue of her
