Thanksoiyipg Services,


The Animal Thanksgiving Uni
on service was held in the Cum
berland Presbyterian church en-
Thursday forenoon, Rev. VII.
King leading in the service and
delivering an appropriate and
earnest sermon. The choir was
aided by the best singers from
the several congregations, and
the music was excellent.
A touching feature of the oc-
casion was the presence of the
Lamar Rifles, who entered the
church building under the dearly
loved, revercd Confederate flag,
which they had carried through
the war. Forty-three years ago
this band Of Veterans, then young
boys, attended a service in the
same church and were presented
with the flag they still cherish.
The flag was presented by the
adies OF Oxford. Only one who
was present at the time, however,
attended the services last Thurs
day. This lady was Mrs. Sue
i Keys Jones, who walked down
one isle as the veterans marched
down the other isle.
| After the services the veterans
proceeded to the Knight Hotel
where they enjoyed their annua
banquet prepared and served il
elegant style by the hostess, Mrs
M. M. Knight.

The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-04-03

This remarkable character of legisia- ton fsonie of which I have never ap- proved) is predicated upon nothing more nor less than the implied powers of Con- gress, and was enacted under what Is. known as the '.general-welfare' clause of the Constitution. Congress Is the sole judge as to when and where and how these implied powers shall be invoked under this ''general-welfare" clause. In the light of these facts, surely no liberal minded gentlemen ought to object to a measure intended for the benefit of the travelling public. and calculated to re- dound to the general welfare of the peo- pie. on the ground that the same is not justified by the organic law of the land, particularly where 1t is manifest that the States are unwilling singly and alone to legislate in respect to such matters. Almost any and every thing Intended for the common defense and general welfare lies within the province of Congress to be eneacted for the benefit of the people,
 "Let our patriotism take a wider range
 The well-being of communities depends largely upon good public thoroughfares The investment will yield the government
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-04-03

There can be no douot that for many years in the history of this government one of the cardinal tenets of the Demo- cratic Party was opposition to govern mental aid for purposes of internal i'm provement. The party to which I have the honor to belong was in favor Of a strict construct.on of the Federal consti- tuition and was strenuously opposed to what is commonly termed paternal- ism" no matter what guise it wore or from what quarter 1t came. It sets it's face like flint against legislation making appropriations for the purpose of con structing roads and canals and improving tIie navigation of our water courses.
 Speaking of the action of Congress in this regard he continues:
 Tn practice Congress has been. very liberal in the construction of it's powers. It not only supports the Army and Navy. but the Military and Naval academies in which to educate young men especially for that service. It not only builds forts but improves rivers and harbors, Sd that they can be better navigated. Ii has passed the oleomargarine bills to
