DEADLY BALLOT GERMS.
Judge Carver Has Erysipelas
from Counting Votes.

Judge T. F. Carver is confined 10 his
home on Harrison street with an attack
of erysipelas.
The supposition is that Judge Carver
contracted the disease while handling
the ballots during the Geigher- Hamilton
contest for the judgeship in the Seven
teenth judicial district.
Two years ago Judge Carver and T.
II. Doran were engaged as attorneys i'll
the Parker Hughes mayoralty contest
and Mr.. Doran contracted a very severe
case of serysipelas.
The coincidence of the two cases, de-
veloping on persons handling ballots.
seems to point to the ballots as the
means Of spreading the disease.
Judge Carver was attorney for John
r. Hamilton, who contested with J. c.
T. eeigher for the judgeship before the
senate elections committee Judge Gar
yer handled many of the ballots in con
troversy- Many instances have been
known of bank tellers contracting dis
ease from bank notes. and it seems
that election ballots are just as filthy.

PAY YOUR DEBTS.
Evangelist Williams Advice to
Christians.

Evangelist Williams went after Chris
tians who do not pay their debts in a
rough shOd manner at the revival meet
ing at the tabernacle last night.
Evangelist Williams made some
straight from the shoulder shots, and as
he observed the telling effect. he ex-
claimed:
7 am glad to see that my sermon is
ma king some of you uncomfortable.
There are some N this audience who
deserve to be uncomfortable. Pay your
debts and live honest, conscientious
Christian lives and then you can come
to church and listen to such statements
as these with smiling and serene
face
Another large crowd was in attend
ance at the meeting last night Evan
gelist Williams seems 10 have touched
q popular chord, and the indications
are that a most successful revival will
be carried to a successful finish here
The sermon last night was for busi-
ness and professional men A special
invitation was given BY Evangelist Will
hanls to the basineas nlsE~ asking them
to attend. Instead eI going after the
business men. hammer and tones. Mr.
Williams severely criticised professed
Christians who were dishonest in the
payment of their debts. They may not
realize it but professed Christians who
get things and promise to pay for them
when they do not know whether they
will be able to pay. and perhaps know
that they can never pay for them. are
standing in the way of others who
might be brought to Christ
You go to your merchants and ask
them to come to your meetings They
tell you they do not believe in revivals-
Why2 Because they see so many of the
church members who are looked upon
in their various churches as devOut
Christians and respected by the fellow
church members. who owe them money
they are unable to collect Can you
blame them when they meet you with
the argument that they cannot believe
in a Christianity which viii allow such
practices. They Of course overlook the
conscientious and consistent Christians
and can see only the dishonest pro-
fessed followers of Christ.
tell you that in order to carry on a
great revival we must firts lead such
circumspect lives that no man will be
kept away from Christ by our exam
pie.
A good rule to observe is to do moth
ing and say nothing to any person that
viii prevent us from going to that per
son whenever an -ODDOrtune time pre-
sents itself to seek to lead him to a
saving knowledge of our Christ"
Tomorrow after Evangelist Williams
viii preach a very short sermon The
sermon will be especially interesting to
society and club women and a special
invitation is made for the club women
of the city to attend The meeting is
set for o'clock.
