night received very close attention
His subject was Heavenly Visions.
suggested by Pauls saying: "Where-
upon, King Aerippa, I was not dis
obedient to the heavenly vision
With fine force and effect he followed
up this line of thought. He opened
with a few questions such as these:
Can a man disobey the heavenly Wis
ion? Can the creature disobey the
Creator? If God says thou shalt
not, can you say I will? Can the
frite struggle against the infinite
and hope to come off victorious? If
Paul had disobeyed that heavenly
vision how much would he have lost?
What would the world have lost
through his disobedience? Young
people see visions and the glory of
their lives depends on the following
of the ways pointed out. Binding
lights and stunning sounds are not
necessary TO visions. Anything that
breaks in on the dull, common place
life and brings it up to a higher plane
is vision. Every protest against
the low, the groyelling, the debased,
is vision from above. Visions flash
from every home where there is a
good mother anxiously caring for her
children. It is said of the mother of
Phillips Brooks that she never left
home to attend social function un-
til her youngest child had no need of
her parental care. Visions are not
wanting in this day and time. The
difficulty is that mems eyes are blind
ed so that they do not see them. The
safety of q mans life depends on his
obedience to the visions that comes to
bin. Thoughts, suggestions, Warn
ings and encouragements come in
rapid succession.

A Virgiais boy was asked to write
an essay on Masonry, and here is
what be wrote:
king Solomon was q man who
lived so many years in the country
that he was the whole push. He was
an awfully wise man, and one day
two women came to him, each hold
ing to the leg of a baby and nearly
pulling it in two, claiming it. And
King Solomon wasn't feeling good,
and he said: "Wby couldn't the brat
have been born twins and stop this
bother?" And then he called for his
machete and was going to Weylerize
the poor innocent little baby, and
give each woman piece of it, when
the real mother of the baby said:
Stop, Solomon, stay thy hand. Let
the old bag have it. If I can't have
a whole baby I wont have any Then
Solomon told her to take the baby
and 60 home and wash it's face. for
he knew it was hers. He told the
other woman to chaae he' self. King

Also.
The State.
Since the talk about Senator Nc.
Laurin's position commenced there
has been no end of chat in political
circles. Recently much has been
said about the State Executive Com
mittee ruling Senator McLaurin out
OF the Democratic party. In this
weeks issue of the Abbeville Press
and Banner State Chairman Jones is
asked if he has anything to do with
such an effort and censuring him and
criticisiDg such action on his part in
case he has done so.
This, yesterday. caused Col. Jones
to give the following statement for
publication: can editorial in The
Press and Banner seems to demand
shat I make some reply in justi6ca
tion of the State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee and myself.
:'The State Democratic Executive
Committee is composed of Al men-
including Senator Tillman, and is
one of the fairest and squarest bodies
Of men I have ever had the pleasure
of being connected with. I do not
believe there is a man on the commit
tee who would be unfair to any Dem
ocrat in the State in any manner and
each one of them will do the utmost
to do absolute justice to every Dem
ocrat. I have been associated with
these gentlemen for years, first as q
member of the committee and now
as chairman of the committee, and
the committee has never done a
single thing that had the slightest
tinge of injustice. I know OF no
reason now why the committee
should be called together until next
May, when the committee will meet
to call the State convention.
"Personally ] have frequently said

tor McLaurin out of the primary. I
do not, however, speak for the COM
mittee, but parenthetically I may re-
mark, without any breach of conf

now opposed to ruling Senator Nc
Laurin out of the primary for he as

for Democratic candidates, that is a

if they do not prescribe form then

ROBERT KELLER'S POSITION.
He VIII Help Enforce the Sunday
Closing Movement.

The Sunday closing movement among
groceries, meat markets, bakeries and
candy stores, being inaugurated by the
retail grocery clerks of the city, gives evi-
dence of being successfully carried out. A
second meeting of the clerks was held in
Mohrs Hail. at Fountain square, last night
to take steps toward furthering their or
ganization, but on account of misunder-
standing as to the place of meeting the
attendance was small, many going to the
wrong hall. Charles H. Taylor, secretary
of the Retail Grocers' Association, and
Organizer John Blue, of Central Labor
Union were present and addressed the
meeting.
The committees appointed at the last
meeting to solicit grocers to close made
sented petition signed by many of the
larger dealers on the South Side, stating
that they would begin closing on Dec. ~
and close each Sunday until April 1,~19O2.
With this petition he turned a letter over
to the clerks written by Robert Keller.
a local paper, in publishing the account OF
the former meeting, stated that Keller
was the drawback to the movement Mr..
Keller, in his letter denied the statement
and said 1t was without foundation. On
the contrary, he said he had been trying TO
establish a Sunday closing movement for
ten years and that he was In sympathy
with this effort and would lend his assist
ance in accomplishing il by closing his own
stores and donating $25 TO fund TO force
other stores to close and keep them closed.
Mr.. Taylor said he found but one man
who refused to close. In addition to his
personal work he assured the clerks that
the Retail Grocers' Association will assist
them in enforcing Sunday closing.
few grocers absolutely refused to enter
into the agreement and means OF reach
ing these men were discussed at length.
1t was finally decided to give them another
chance 10 sign the agreement or promise
TO close without signing, and if they still
refused. to prosecute them for doing busi-
ness on Sunday. Should it be necessary TO
resort to this method to enforce Sunday
closing fund will be raised To carry the
matter into the courts.
Another meeting will be held in the hall
at I'LL Shelby street at 2:30 Sunday after
noon. at which a permanent organization
will be effected and officers elected. Later,
il will be decided whether or not the or
ganiZation shall affiliate with labor organ
izations and join the National Union of
Retail Clerks or maintain an independent
organization.

ayers are ambitious to reduce the expense
accounts of the travelling staff, and they
think the present time favorable oppor
tunity. said one of the officials. The local
business of the trunk lines, from which
they derive the best revenue has been so
large in the past two years as to keep the
equipment very busy. Through business
earns the least money and costs the most
to secure, and this has had an effect in
bringing about the reform. Traffic men
agree that abolishing free transportation
means much less travelling by travelling
freight and passenger agents, and eventu-
ally reduction in the travelling staffs of
the various roads. Instead of covering
large territory. by a travelling staff with
headquarters in a prominent center the
roads will establish offices nearer the
points where the business originated the
men will be forced to do some travelling

done now. Probably the Northwestern
lines will appoint agents at indianapolis,
Chicago Kansas City, Omaha, st. Louis,
Cincinnati and Cleveland, where, by max
ing short runs, they reach the terri
tory which furnish the business. The long
distance telephone has revolutionzed the
work of soliciting freight, but in passenger
business, to get large parties, several per-
sons must often be approached, which will
necesSitate the passenger men travelling
more than freight men.

Room Enough for Both Roads.

A Pennsylvania man says that ii seems
to him that many stockholders of the New
York Central are unnecessarily worried
over the plan of the Pennsylvania to enter
New York city. AT the best these plans
cannot be completed for several years, and
there is no reason to believe they will cut
into New York Central earnings appre-
ciably even then. The Pennsylvania and
the New York Central are not parallel or
competing lines, except for through traf
fic from st. Louis and Chicago, and the
new entrance into New York will be for
passengers only, although freight may be
sent through TO Long island The erection
of a freight depot i'm New York is not con-
templated There is room enough in New
York for both roads and their interests
will not clash, and there is the best of au-
thority for stating that there is truth
I'm the statements made by one of the New
York papers that there is friction between
the two interests.
