REASONS AGAINST DRINKING.

DIR. G.. B. F. Hallock gives so01
strong reasons in the Religious TeJe
scope for not drinking strong liquors
Among them are these:
Because / want TO keep my money.
This may sound stingy; but lam not
stingy. / have seen tn1t the drinking
of intoxicants is the f""st prevailing
cause of poverty. 1t clothes a man
in rags, robs them of home and com
fort. 1t makes H. one better off aud
millions worse off. l want To keep
my money for the good things it will
get or do.
Because I want to keep my health.
Drink is the cause of an immense
amount of sickness, weakness and
bodily ailment. A man cannot be
physically well and strong and use in
toxicants.
Because / want to keep my self res
pect. A person cannot slip in and
out of saloons, wiping his mouth and
pertaining his breath to prevent
people from knowing of his indul-
gence, without in his heart despising
himself and losing his self respect.
Because / want to keep the respect
of other people. / find that men who
do go into saloons, or who are known
to use intoxicants, soon lose the con-
fidence and respect of their neighbors.
GA good name is rather to be chosen
than great riches"
Because / want to keep a warm
heart. Drink destroys love. 1t
makes man neglect and forget wife
children and friends. 1t makes a,
man do the most unnatural things.
1t is the foe of all affection and friend
ship, and, therefore, because L want to
have friends, to keep friends and 10 be
worthy of friends / do not touch
drink.
Because / want to 60 TO Heaven.
The Bible says that mo drunkard
shall inherit the kingdom of Heaven"
and do not want to run any risk of
missing Heaven. This is the su-
preme reason, among many other
reasons L might name, why l never
use intoxicating liquors at all.

JUST FOR FUN.

asked the kind old man. No, ans
wered boy. The pains in me.
Judge-Why did you knock this
man down? Did he say you were a
liar? Prisoner-Worse'n that, sab; he
proved it.
Bertha-What is the height Of your
ambition, dear? Marie (blushing)-Oh,
something between five and half
and six feet.
Not every man is made a fool Of, re-
marked the observer of men and
things, but every man has the raw
material in him.
Mrs. Henpeck-The proof Of the
pudding is the eating. Mr.. Henpeck
The proof of those you make is in
the post norton.
The fall of Adam was not as humil-
iating as it might have been. There
was nobody around to say, Come here,
and I'll pick you up.
Mamma, why do recipes always say
to keep jellies and preserves in dark
places? SO that little boys like you
will be afraid to go where they are.
Mother-Edith, go and see whether
the clock is going! Edith Coming
back)-No, mamma, it is standing
quite still, only its tail is wagging a
little.
Everybody seems to be on an equal
ity in Klondike, said the shoe clerk
boarder. Yes, said the cheerful idiot,
one man cuts as much ice as another
up there.
Why do you keep so many dogs?
asked the stranger of a Kentucky
mountaineer, Hey? asked why you
kept SO many dogs. It seems to me
that you are rather a poor man and
can scarcely afford to keep so many.
I haven't many dogs, /stranger-only
IS. An the reason keep 'em is be-
cause they KANT keep me, cause
they are poorer than [ am.
I am told your wife would rather
cook than eat. The other glanced
nervously over his shoulder. They
were alone. What she cooks-yes, he
replied in a hoarse whisper.

BY resolution of the Methodist confer
ence, that body unanimously joined with
the Episoopalians while the other demon
nations generally accepted the bishops
invitation to make an attack against the
crime of killing.
The bishop spoke in Orangeburg, at
tributing the increase in murders to the
hagrant violation of law against carrying
concealed weapons and the fault OF the
jures in letting murderers go unwhipped.
In Trinity church, Columbia, DR.. Evans
bitterly contrasted Carolina, formerly a

Mitchell spoke about the frequency of
lynchings and the manner ar which juries
disregarded the law and evidence in fail

fore has the clergy made so united a dem

During the past ten months there were
2O7 murders and 155 acquittals and it was
on this that the preachers talked.
Various causes were assigned for so
much murder. The ministers claimed that
the pardoning power of the government
and the plea of self-defense at the trials
had been abused until men had come to
see how easy it was to kill and escape
The disDensary law was hit incidentally
as one of the prime causes for so many

THIRTY NEW HOO-HOOS.
That Number of kittens to BE Made
Cats Tomorrow Night.

Cats Tomorrow Night.
Great preparations are being made for
the confederation of Hoo-Hoos tomorrow
night at the De Soto. 1t is expected that
there will be fully $50 members of the So
ciety in attendance, thirty of whom will
be the initiates. The lumber regions Of
South Georgia have been hunted through
and that number of purblind kittens will
be lead before the great black prince for
the degree of full-hedged cats.
There will be a meeting of the local men,
bers tonight at the De Soto to plan for
the concentration and banquet. II is
thought there will be at least forty wear
ers of the badge of the great black cat
present at the meeting, and everything
possible TO insure those who attend the
concentration big time will be done. The
concentration will begin at o'clock. 1t
will be held in the banquet hall of the
De Soto on the second floor, and immedi-
ately after its conclusion the Hoo-Hoos
will adjourn to the dining room, where a
light banquet will be partaken of.
1t was expected that there would be
a number of the Hoo-Hoos from other sec
tons to come to Savannah for the con-
catenation, but expressions of regret have
been received from those expected Upon
their inability to be present. Mr.. ]. II.
Baird of Nashville, scrivenoter of the or
der and a member of the supreme nine,
was among those expected. Another men,
Der of the nine was expected from Ala
bama. Several loyal Hoo-Hoos were con-
fdently expected from Atlanta, and one
or two may yet put in an appearance at
the last moment They are a jolly set
in Atlanta, and the Savannah members
would like to have them among the Hoo,
Hoos here. Recollections of the big time
lac -r4v, a. ha TvxrI IAN
ton are still green in the memory of the
Savannahians, and they would be glad to
welcome their brothers back again.
Col. Merritt w Dixon is the vicegerent
shark of this division of the order, and
has had the arrangements for the concat-
enation under his personal direction. He
says the majority of the limitations will be
of lumber men from South Georgia. One
of the objects Of the order is to get the
dealers in lumber together for the promo
ton of q spirit of fellowship. The Hoo
Hoos will also be a benefit to the lumber
people, as means of affording them OPP
portunities at the gatherings for the dis
cussion of the situation of the market.
There is no organized lumber exchange,
and such an order as the Hoo-Hoos it is
said, cannot fail to conduce to admirable
results.
The banquet to follow the confederation
is expected to be jolly affair. There will
not be much in the way of beverages, the
rules of the order prescribing the use of
anything stronger than beer, but good fell
lowship will prevail. 1t has been demon
strated that the Hoo-Hoos are never at
a loss for the means of a good time and
tomorrow night will hardly prove an ex-
ception to the rule that has evolved from
considerations in the past. There will be

sponses but some choice efforts in the

THE OLIVE PEcKER ONCE HERE.
The Schooner Was LibeIIed by
Sailor Who Was Cut by the Captain.

The Schooner Was LibeIied by "a
Sailor Who Was Cut by the Captain.
The Olive Pecker, the schooner which
has gained almost worthwhile fame
through the murder of her captain and
mate by the cook in the South Atlantic, is
not a stranger to Savannah.
The Pecker was in port here some two
or three years ago, though, it is said. she
was then under different captain from
the one killed several months ago. The
captain then in charge of her, however,
is said TO have had a quarreisome DISPOSE
ton. and thereby got his boat into trou-
bic when she was here.
One Of the sailors. a negro, had dis
pute with the captain just before the ar
rival OF the schooner in Savatnah, with
the result that the sailor was somewhat
cut up. The sailor Secured the services
Of Mr.. w. r. Leaken, who filed a libel
in his behalf. The case, however, was
never tried, as the sailor disappeared from
the city after he had recovered from his
wounds, and never returned to press his
claim.
The Olive Pecker was burned by the cook
and sailors after the captain and mate
had been murdered by the cook. They
took to the small boats and went ashore
in South America, where they were ar
rested. and afterward returned to Ameri-
ca. They will soon be tried before the
United States court in Baltimore on the
charge Of murder.
