ON THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
Stirring Address Made by Miss Jessie
Alderman

Miss Jessie Alderman, a woman of
wide reputation for her connection with
the W. C. T. U. movement for the sup
preston of the liquor traffic in this and
other countries, spoke at the First
Methodist church last night. She told
of a few Of her experiences in her trav-
els around the world. The English
government was most scathingly ar
RAGGED for opening the ports of China
for the free importation of opium into
that country. The introduction of
American beer into the Philippine is
lands, and especially into the city of
Manila, was the subject of the greater
part of her talk. She said that in the
city of Manila alone over 5000 barrels
of beer were disposed of in one day,
and that from one white American reg
iment $1.700 had been taken over one
bar in one day, and from the army
canteens one colored regiment had talk
en- beer costing fully $1,100. The
speaker said the Spanish oppression was
never so great as the tyranny of the
rum traffic in the islands. The tyranny
of the saloons in America was de-
nounced, and instances We're given to
show that about 90 per cent. of the
poverty and consequent crime in this
country is the result of the sale of in
toxicating liquors. Many revolving
scenes caused by rum We're pictured by
the speaker and in impassioned tones
she asked her auditors, and especially
the men, to use their every effort to as
sist in suppressing the liquor traffic.
AT the close of the address an offer
ing was made and upon the invitation
of the speaker quite a number of those
present Joined the w. c. T. U. An eff
fort is being made to get 5000 new
members before the close of the year as
a memorial to the late Miss Frances
Willard

4 GOOD CUSTOM.
Memorial Services in Honor OF tho Dead
Held in Christian Churches.

Mr.. f. +. Moffitt, editor of the CHS
tian Sun, spent yesterday III Raleigh,
returning from Chatham county. where
on Saturday at Hanks Chapel, he deliv.
cred memorial address. This is Il
pleasant custom and. one which might
wisely be adopted by every church in
the country. Speaking of the custom
that prevails among some churches of
the Christian denomination, NJ. Mof
fit in answer to questions of Il re-
porter. said:
1t has been Il custom among Il few
of our churches. for several years, to
hold these annual memorial services
over the dead who are buried in the
church cemeteries. Each year other
churches have fallen into line. and, no
doubt, the custom will soon become
universal among the churches of the
Christian denomination. | think that
Rev. G.. Il. Underwood, of Osgood, n.
c., held the first service of the kind
in our church at Shallow Well, near
Jonesboro, about six or seven years
ago.
Il notice that one marked result
of these services is that wherever they
are held the cemeteries are beautifully
kept. and neat hcadstones mark about
all the graves. In fact, every year
Just before memorial day the members
of the church and outsiders who have
friends buried at the church <Veet and
clear the cemetery of all rvs and
sprouts. and put everything in nice
shape for the decoration day. The
exercises consist of one or more adj
dresses appropriate to the occasion, in
terspersed with song and prayer, after
which all the little boys and girls form
in line and to each one is given Il
bouquet of flowers. Then they march
into the cemetery, sometimes singing an
appropriate hymn, and there they sepa-
rate. and place at LEASE enc bouqct iii
every grave, not neglecting even the
humblest of them. My observation is
that these services are exceedingly help
full to the church and that many good
lessons are learned from them"
