Selling LIQUOR to Minors.

A feature of the Mann liquor bill is
the severe penalty provided in the cas-
of persons who may sell liquor to minors.
A fine of from fifty to five hundred dol
lars with the revocation of the license of
the offending party can be assessed in
such cases. Selling liquor to persons
of immature years is an ofense commit
ted, thoughtlessly perhaps, by some who
conduct saloons. The parents of such
youths are naturally exasperated when
the facts come to their knowledge and
while in an excited state they are calcu-
lated to put the law in force against per-
sons who tolerate their minor children in
their saloons. The new law should be
a reminder to all who conduct such re-
sorts to satisfy themselves that their Gus
toners have arrived at the legal age be-
fore entertaining them.

Council Dr. Willingham did otpreach
from Biblical text, but took as his sub

DIR. Willingham made the statement
that in his desk in the city of Richmond
he has applications from at least 800
young men, many of whom are college
men, for positions in the foreign mission
field, and that some of them have stated
in their letters that they have saved
small sums of money with which to pay
their own way to their posts of duty If
they are assigned and the board cannot
afford to pay their expenses.
DR.. Willingham's discourse was fol-
lowed by centennial thank offering for
foreign missions, which amounted to about
800.
Another large congregation filled the
church of last NIGHTS service. which was
under the auspices of the Baptist Young
PEOPLES Union. Rev. Mr.. Butler for
merly pastor of the church preached at
the evening services.
The services yesterday, as had been
anticipated, were interesting throughout

faction as that shown by the members Of
the Baptist Church. The programme
for the week has been arranged with care
and everything mapped out in advance
save the themes which will be the sub
iects of the respective ministers DIS
courses. These are, of course, left to
the discretion of the reverend gentlemen
who will occupy the pulpit. -,

Incident of Baptist Centennial.

During the services in the Baptist
Church incident to the centennial yes
terday Rev. DR.. Hunt, pastor, arose and
said in substance: "About forty years
ago two young men were classmates In
certain college. One had determined
to become minister Of the Gospel; the
other had selected a commercial life.
Their resolves, however, became reversed
upon nearing manhood, and the young
man who had at first chosen the ministry
entered an active business life, while the
other. who had been anxious for COM
mercial career, became minister. After
two-score years they had met under the
same roof and were present in the
church. One of the pair is Rev. DR..
X. ]. Willingham; the other Mr.. II. 9.
Ansly, treasurer of the Southern Rail-
way and an elder in the Second Presby-
terrain Church." DR.. Hunt then called
upon Mr.. Ansly to lead the congregation
in prayer, which he complied with in his
usual fervent and well-timed manner.

SENATOR M'COAfAs' BILL.

Senator 2icComas is q republican,
and he lives in Maryland. He in
trodUce@ > bill to create a permanent
commission, to be named by the
President, TO be known as the
churchman's inquiry Commission.'
It's five members are to be paid and
it is to have a clerk and s~tenograph-
er, and an annual allowance of 81
600 for expenses. 1t is to travel about
ard investl eate the condition of the
negro with a view of reporting an
nually 30 congress his condition edu-
cationally and industriaIiy, thus lay
ing a basis for more 'force bills'' and
more meddling in southern affairs.
The bin has been favorably re-
ported by the committee on educa-
ton and labor, but it has yet to run
its course through both senate and
house. 1t will die on the calendar,
but the Maryland senator will no
doubt renew it in the next congress,
for it is his particular fad, and no
faddist ever lets go.
The meddIing that the bill calls for
viii result in evil only. It will lead
to ill-advised legislation, and the
negro will be the chief sufferer. Time
and time alone can determine the
various phases Of the race problem,
and the less congress NEEDLES with
it the better it Will be for all con-
cerned. There is not a feature of the
great question that can be helped by
congress. The people in each state,
blacks as we'll as whites, must work
OF thejr own destiny, and outside
meddIers VIII but create friction and
un~necasss"E trouble. This lesson
should have become familiar long be-
fore this.

A
Miss Norma Bonitz and M. Daniel
Moses Married Here
Last Thursday. Night.

What was to Ii people a surprise
II arriage occurred last week at the
home Of Miss Daisy Smith, whom
she was visiting, the contracting
parties being Miss Norma BOnitz and
Mr.. Daniel Moses, both of Lynch
burgNa-. The happy event had been
prearranged by them, but it was
none tie less a surprise to the brides
friends in this city, her birth place
and former home, and where her Ia
mented father lies buried.
1t was not a roman therefore, but
a sweet flial and patriotic sentiment
on her part to wish to be and 10 be
married in GCldsboro. Our good
friend EIr. w. FL. Smith, always
generous and hospitable, gave the
happy young couple q delightful
wedding supper and they left on the
9:35 north bound train that night for
a bridal trip to Washington and Bal
timore, where the grOom's mother
resides. Thence they will return to
Lynchburg, where Nj. Moses is en-
gagged in business.
The ARGUS is most cordial in wish
ing them length of days and the full
est measure of happiness and pros
perity.
