NIGHT PROWLER CAUGHT.
Maj. Whitthorne's Threat to Shoot
Through the Door Was Effective.

Mai. W. J. Whltthonre captured a
negro on his premises Sunday night.
He had Just retired, when he heard a
suspicious noise In mis- rear yard. He
arose and clipped out of the house and
approached the place where he had
heard the strange racket. He round
the door to one of the outhouses clos
ed and tried to open 1t. but 1t would
not come open. The Major thought
that it felt like some one was on the
inside holding his foot against it, so he
walked three or four steps away and
waited for results No one leaving,
he walked up to the side of the door
and called: '..'Con out, you rascal,
or I'll shoot through the door A
voice on the inside replied. "Oh,
dom do that. boss, don't kill me. !"
Then the door opened and out came a
strappnlg young merge, about eighteen
years OLD. Major Whitthorne made
him throw up both hands, and after
questioning MIN and satisfying him
self that the negro did not have a part
ner close about. marched him down
town and turned him over to the
police The negro, who gave his
name as Felix Kimbrough, was tried

First Methodist Church.

The revival at the Methodist Church
closed Friday night, DR.. John p Nc.
Ferrin preaching his last sermon, again
taking for his subject the question OF
eternal punishment he spoke from
the same text that he had used in the
sermon the previous night: "And these
shall go away into everlasting punish
ment; but the righteous into eternal
life. Matthew 25-46.
He said it was anything but pleas
ant subject to him to preach on; that he
had always tried to preach it in love and
in the fear of God. He reiterated the
points made in his sermon of Thursday
night. He said he had studied the
question deeply and had read everything
he could get on it. and he could not
find anything to warrant him in believ-
ing that the wicked would not be pun
ished with everlasting punishment.
The teachings of the best scholars in the
world, the teachings OF Christ and all
the apostles taught it.
In the course OF his sermon Dr. Nc
Ferrin stated that he did not believe in
a literal hell Of fire. He said that he
thought the lake of fire spoken of 10 the
Bible was mans conscience, and that
az fire burns so would mans con.
science burn him drought eternity for
the evil deeds done in the flesh. He
said that there was an everlasting dark
ness way out in the trackless void OF
eternity where no sun nor star had ever
shone, where each soul would have an
empire unto Itself, disassociated from all
It's environments. separated from God
and the glory Of its own power. and
where it would be punished forever.
He believed that the Bible taught it
oy inference. He cited Christ's last
lays on earth. Why did He face death |
With such dread alarmY 1t was the
Tread Of that darkness, that loneliness,
which He knew would come from His
separation from the Father, even Tor
hort time Christ was the loneliest
nan that ever lived on earth. He was
onely because men did not sympathize
With Him. And so when He came to
ace death He dreaded the loneliness.
Ind when the shadow Of that awful
darkness fell upon His face, aud God
withdrew His presence, He cried out,
My God. Why hast thou forsaken me?"
md 30 the soul is banished into outer
arknes.

jackson. Tenn, June 27.-The cases
of Roy Webster VS.. State, Roy Webster
and Max Heilbronner, from Obion
county. and Sam Redfern, from Harde-
man county, involving the constltu-
tionality of the Adams law were decid-
ed by the Supreme Court this morn
ing. Judge Wilkes delivering the
opinion. 1t was held first, tn at the
act is not partial by reason of the fact
that the wholesale dealers may make
sales. Second. that the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution OF the
United States cannot be invoked to
limit the police power of the state In
regulation of traffic In liquors. 1t Is
for the legislature to determine when
the police power may De invoked and
hence the Legislature may in the
exercise OF that power PROVIDE for the
revocation of license and the fourteenth
amendment will not prevent the exer-
else of that power. Third, the excep-
tion of licenses from the operation OF
the act OF 1899 only applied to licenses
in force in 1899 and the act of 1903 did
not carry forward exemptions in
favor of licenses in existence at tn
time of its passage. All the cases
were affirmed. The act of 1908 was
held to be constitutional and the
licenses In force were revoked under the
police Power Judge Shields and
Chief Justice Beard dissepted on the
of the act of 1908 in the
belief that its proper construction con-
tanned an exemption in favor OF existing
license but they agree on the constitu-
tionalty OF the act of 1908 and the gener-
al result.
