Liquor Traffic.

The following resolutions were
unanimously passed by the Marion
Baptist Association in session at Nc
Intosh October % to %:
1. Be it resolved by the Marion
Baptist Association in convention as
sembled, that we pronounce the Igor
traffic in all its phases and ramifica-
tions to be, in the light, as we can
get it from Gods word, and unmti-
gated evil, destructive in its work,
demoralizIng in 'ts tendencies and
terrible in its results.
That it is essentially a crime breed
er and is antagonistic to the best
good of the state, the church and So
ciety; that it is one of the most pro-
ductive powers of covetousness,
which is idolatrv.
=. Be it resolved that it is the
sense of this body that the position
of the church and the church member
should be against this evil both in
sale and use Of any intoxicant as a
beverage.
3. Be it resolved that we as a Bap-
fist Association endorse the present
local option campaign in progress in
Marion county and do what we can
to aid said campaign.
4. Be it resolved that the sense of
this body is to encourage by lawful
means the preservation of the local
option law if the county goes dry;
that we condemn as utterly democrat
izing the so-called blind tiger and de-
sire the full enforcement OF the law.

The CONSTITUTIONS lawyer.

The ConStttutional lawyer.
There is growing disposition to
have the nation take charge of quar-
anJine and the yellow fever whenev-
er we shall have a recurrence of it.
But the constitutional lawyer al
ways hobs up to preventit.
Senator Galllnger, of New Hamp-
shsre, himself physician, considers
it an extraordinary condition of af-
fairs, if a branch of the Federal gov
eminent (the agricultural depart
ment) can step in to prevent the
spread of disease among horses and
cattle, but can do nothing for the
protection of human life.
Those who treat the mater serious
ly, whether from the south or the
north, see no great constitutional OBJ
jections in the way of what is univer-
sally recognized as being to the great
advantage of the southern people,
protecting their business and their
lives.
Congressman Lands seems to have
lost his patience at this argument
for he exp esses willingness ito do
whatever is necessary to get rid of
the mos quitoes and the constitutional
lawyers"
We believe the matter in future
will be handled by the general gov
eminent and when it does Mr.. Mos
quito has got to go.
Marion county sent down a carload
of exhibits yesterday for the fair.
She is putting her best foot forward.
Mr.. Gist seems to be the right man
in the right place.

DID SANTA CLAUS GET 1T?

Editor The Journal
What about it? Madame Rum
or has it that the high sheriff, Tom
Magness or some one else in your
town lost six hundred gallons of
whisky a few nights ago.
She says that the sheriff went
down and took up all the whisky
that was lying around loose and
carried it to Batesville and placed
it in the vault and stopped up the
key hole so that Santa Claus nor
any other claws could get their
claws on it. But he just locked
up Toms and left it. Just why
he treated Tom that way is hard
to tell. Tom is clever, good
hearted man and deserves as much
protection as the other boys. 1t
is the sheriff's duty to protect
life and property irrespective of
persons. Whisky is property,
and good whisky is good property;
and some say that whisky is the
life of town. If it is it looks
like 600 gallons would have made
as small a town as Newark pretty
lively for a few days any way.
If the high sheriff was expect
ing old Santa to swoop down on
the town he should have given
Tom hint. There must be fly
in the lock- Tom has been in
business for a long time and it is
the first time | have ever heard of
Santa robbing him. Santa is the
only man that could have possibly
carried off that much whisky on
his back. 1t couldn't have been
hauled off without the nightwatch-
man ANuO HldhtS his ICY uldi
rounds every 30 minutes) finding
it out. So it's settled fact that
Santa carried it out through the
stove pipe. The only trouble is
that it was mighty straining on
the pipe for those big barrels to 90
up through it.
The next thought is, who is go
ing to lose the whisky! Tom isn't
able to lose it, or if he is he would
perhaps not be willing to do SO,
for there was more of it than he
could drink in whole year. We
think the sheriff should make old
Santa pay Tom for the whisky.
Let's all be good and if Santa
don't bootleg it all out he may set
EN- up Christmas. X. I. Il.
