LIFE AND LIGHT OF
MEN IS WORD OF GOD
Said Rev. j. 1. Oxford in His Sermon
Last Night.

From the subject, THE Word of God
the Life and Light of Men," Rev. ].
l. oxford, of Douglas, last night PREACH
ed the second of the series of revival
sermons inaugurated at the South Side
Baptist Church. The service was at
tended by a large congregation and
the greatest interest was manifested
in the meeting.
The text was taken from Luke VS.
And Simon answering said unto him,
Master, we have toiled all the night
and have taken nothing; nevertheless
at Thy word I will let down the net"
The sermon opened with a brief word
picture of the scene, the tired fisher
man weary with the fruitless labor of
the night; the command to let down
the net again. the faith of the humble
fishers, and the reward of the filled
nets and the great multitude of
fishes"
With this as basis the speaker
made a practical application to modern
life and its conditions. The toll may
have been fruitless and the workers
tired and discouraged. ITO such the
word of God comes with especial mean
ing for He who could help the fisher
men of old can extend His aid to-day"
Mr.. oxford said.
THE word of God has been given to
man, through inspired writer's, for
his guidance. The ways of life are
clearly pointed out and like a light
shining in darkness, the word makes
bright the path stretching before man.
By following its dictates closely final
success is ours. and our reward will
be greater than that of the fishermen
of old. Our reward is eternal and not
temporal"
The afternoon meetings, which are
held daily at 4:30, are proving of great
interest. These take the form of Bible
readings, and those who attend them
report that much benefit is derived
from the study of the Bible, and the
explanations of the. leader. The meet
ing will be held TODAY as usual.

SPEED OF AUTOMOBILES
STILL ANNOY POLICE.
Some of the Machines Go So Fast |
Numbers Can't he Seen.

Some of the Machines Go So Fast
Numbers Can't he Seen.
Just how automobile drivers can be
kept within the speed limit is still wor-
rying the police, and the department
has not yet purchased stop watches.
1t had been intended, when Mayor
Myers Insisted that something be done,
to arm two plain clothes men with
stop watches. and send them timing
for auto drivers.
But new difficulty has arisen and
there is something else to be consid-
cred now. Tho police say that the
speed of the machines can be deter
mined with the aid of the stop watches.
but that the watches will not disclose
the identity oe the violators.
1t has been found that with the ra-
pidity at which some of the automo-
biles move il is impossible to distn-
guish the registered number or letter
on the rear. Without knowing the
owner Of a machine the rate of speed
at which it might be moving would
be of no value to the police.
The police are not prepared to say
what they will do but it is probable
that some step VIII be taken to force
auto drivers to obey the city ordinance.
A plain clothes man may be mounted
OIL a bicycle with a speedometer attach
ed and may chase automobiles. He
would be able to finally tell just what
machine was stirring up dust and his
speedometer wo-ld furnish the evidence
The police may try this plan.

JAP WAS CELEBRATING
AND WAS ARRESTED.
Charged on Police BlOtter With
Having Been Drunk.

having been DTuHks
For celebrating the victories of his
countrymen in a manner contrary to
the peace, good order and dignity of
the law, John seeman is held pris-
oner at the police station.
On the police blotter ne is charged
with being "a years of age, a native of
Japan and drunk and disorderly, all Of
which he will have to answer for to
Recorder Myrick in Police Court this
morning.
Patrolman A. ]. Clark has the dis
tinction Of having made the Jap a
prisoner. John was good natured about
il all, and although ne expostulated
at first he gave the uniformed man
no real trouble. He said he would allow
himself 10 be arrested by an Ameri-
can. but never, no, never, by Rus
sian.
John waxed eloquent on the subject
Of Russia. He had just enough aboard
to feel that his mother country could
whip a dozen Russias before breakfast
and feel like taking a long walk after
eating. Just what brand John took be-
fore he dreamed could not be learned
by the police, but when he woke up
he was in a cell
He was from the schooner Olivette,
from Key West, he declared, and had
simply been for a walk. He was not
able to explain just how he met the
patroman, and didn't remember that
he had done anything wrong Indeed
unless he changes his mind he will
plead not guilty when arraigned be-
fore the Recorder.
But several hundred people saw John
while he was being escorted to a
Gamewell box by Patrolman Clark.
There was no doubt about 1t that John
was drunk. Not exceedingly so, but
enough to be noticeable. He was pa
raded down Broughton street by Pa
trolman Clark and attracted consider
able attention. Indeed a report was
circulated that a Japanese, who was
collecting funds for his country, had
been arrested.
Since the Jap had S71.53 on his per-
son when searched by the turnkey it is
not likely that he will spend much
time in the cooler.

working of COnvicts on Roads
Would Not Only Give State Coca
Highways. Which Are So Badly
Needed, but Would Keep COnvicts
from Competing with Free Labor.
MY good roads resolution was re-
ferred TO a committee said Mayor
Myers yesterday, "and I never heard
anything more from it.
THAT was the course all resolutions
took, but the good roads resolution was
buried in the excitement. I never
heard from it after it got into the
hands of the committee.
II wanted the resolution passed, too, ="
continued the Mayor. Good roads will
do more for the state at present than
anything else I know of. Ny position
in the matter is simply that we should
have good roads, and the proper way
to get them is to have the state take
the matter up.
THE convicts that are now leased
out and compete with free labor could
then be used 70 a great advantage.
Every one l talked with was in favor
of the resolution, but in the rush of
events it was simply lost in the mass
of resolutions offered. If II had come
TO vote, it would have been passed.
Schools wouldn't suffer.
"The only possible opposition that
could arise to the plan as outlined in
my resolution would be on the ground
that it would take money from the
public schools of the state. Yet, that
would not be true. The money received
from the convict hire now goes into the
school fund, but if the convicts were
put to work on the public roads. there
would be such an increase in the value
OF property within few years that
the increase in taxes would more than
offset what would be lost from the con-
Wet hire. The school appropriation
could be taken from the general fund
and the state would not be the loser.
The competition of the convict la
Dor with the free labor is not right and
should be stopped. The roads of the
state should be improved. The only
way / know to accomplish both of these
ends at once would be to put the con-
victs on the roads. l am satisfied that
something will be done some time soon
about the matter, because every one
seemed to favor it. The resolution was
simply lost in the general confusion.
WAS Lot of Confusion.
You should have seen the conven-
ton. 1t was worse than Savannah
political meeting. Considering the num-
Der of people there from all over the
state, order was maintained in a very
creditable maNASr But there was a
lot of confusiSs.
Though my resolution never came
up for a vote, / am still advocating it,.
1t is a good thing, and l want to see
the matter taken UP by the Legisla-
ture. The way it has been received
by the people here and all over the
state is very gratifying. l am conf
dent something will be accomplished"

were, the Chatham delegations decided

was to instruct for Parker
