Enforced.
Victoria, Texas, June 11.-Today was
Sunday; t-cverything was closed tight,
saloons, stores fruit stands, barber shops,
in fact, everything except the churches,
hotels, restaurants, drug stores, postoffice,
express office and the ticket office. Coun-
ty Attorney George Thurmond has shown
that he proposes to enforce the laws as
they are on the statute books, and those
interested have taken warning; it remains
to be seen whether public sentiment up
holds the officers of the law in the po-
sition they have taken.
Several cars of horses and cattle were
thipped from Victoria and Aloe today
to New Orleans for export to Cuba; the
shippers were Stoner and Alonzo.

FOURTH OF JULY.

Committees for the Fourth Of July cele-
bration are quietly but effectively at work
and each day receive additional assurances
that citizens generally will cooperate
in making the various entertainment fea-
lures all that they should be. Al present
efforts are being concentrated on the sew
eral railroads with the view of getting
favorable rates and train service. All
OF the roads have promised to make a
sufficiently low rate to enable anyone
within 100 miles of the city to come to
the celebration, but as yet no official or
definite action has been taken. The COM
mittee which has charge of this particular
and very important part of the celebration
are effective workers, however, and 1t is
believed that before the end of next week
they viii be prepared to announce excur-
sion rates that will startle the natives.

wOODMEN MEMORIAL SERVICES
BEIp LAST NIGHT AT THE FIRST
BAPTIST CHURCH.
Memorial Sermon by Rev. u. ID. LAM
isin-"Ernternity Makes All
sIen Brothers,"

The memorial services Of the Modern
Woodmen held at the First Baptist church
last night were largely attended The me-
mortal sermon was preached by DR.. Lam
kin. who took for his text Coossians 1. is:
That in all things he might have the pre-
eminence." He showed that Christ was
eminent in nature, history, the church
and human life, that as Christ marched
with imperial power through the ages
mems hearts were touched with sympathy
and interest for humanity. That the spirit
and motive which underlie great fTaternal
organizations arc based on Christian prn-
riples Christs sympathy with humanity
In its sins and sorrows and sufferings is
the one point that makes our Lord stand
apart from and re-eninent over Other
men OF history lie came into human
hearts ana took away their burdens and
those only who have caught His spirit seek
to relieve the burdens of others. The pur-
pose of woodcraft Ia to alleviate human
sorrow. 1t brings help in sickness loving
care IN death and relief for sorrowng
loved ones. The last tribute of respect to
the dead is the unveiling of the monu-
ment; for It's fundamental principle lis
that mo member shall rest in an un-
marked grave" II has heart and soul and
feeling. Again, history lends its testimony
TO the fact that Christian philanthropy
Is the hope of the amelioration of the con
dition of the unhappy masses. Fraternity
makes all men brothers. The greatest
problem on earth Is the problem of life
as suggested by the necessity OF fraternal
origiuations These are but the experiences
of human nature in its attempts to rise
higher but all these can not do what
Christ came to accomplish in human life.
Christ must be the center and the saving
power in both for He is the chiefest
among ten thousand and the one alto
