and that each third amounted to more
than 100000.
When the two contractors disap-
peared from New York on the eve OF
their removal to Georgia. they for
feited $4,000 bail each. One of the
first steps to be taken by the govern
ment will be to increase the amount
of bail. It is likely that the court
win be asked to fix the amount at
100000 each. No matter what sum

Should they again attempt to leave
the country. they would be Instantly
apprehended. the government does
not intend to make another five years
fight in extradition proceedings.
The Indictment which was returned
by the Federal Grand Jury at Savan-

the government in connection with
Captain Carter. The latter was tried
by military court and sentenced to
fiye years in. the Fort Leavenworth
prison, his term having expired few
months ago. The government is now
proceeding against Carter in the civil
courts of Chicago to recover his share
of the graft.
Just how soon the Greene-Gaynor

known. An effort will be made to
have it set for some date during the

CHINESE BOYCOTT

SPENT ITSELF BUT IS NOT
DEAD YET.

WASHINGTON, Oct. .-In opposi.
tion to the clemens which have been
back of the Chinese boycott of Amer

exclusion laws. Consul Anderson, of
Annoy, tells in report to the Depart

Student Federation"
Its members are conservative stu.
dents, who would re-organize the EN-
pire's educational system, translate
Western books. establish an employ.
ment bureau for students from
abroad, or when they are graduated
at local colleges.
Consul Anderson points out that
while they resent the exclusion laws
thoy believe that Chinese interests
can best be served by show of merit.
The Consul Is no: as optimistic con-
corning the outcome OF the boycott as
Secretary Taft.
What the result Of tae movement
to boycott American goods and Amer
lean interests, generally. will be, is
doubtful says he. Already there
are indications that It's fc-ce has been
spent, but American trade interests
would make a mistake In assuming

Now, the above is L truth tha
no one can deny, and do hope
Mr. Gordon will look intP this
great matter from Christian
standpoint, for | have nothing

Mr. Gordon says the legisla

he thinks it did wisely in 50

has been an utter failure. Now

Now, Mr. Gordon says he can t
see where there is any more

must be a blind man. No, that
can't be so, for he can see blind

down on Santee at Lenud, and
perhaps people down there
drink catfish soup instead OF
whiskey. If We had some cat,

so much dispensary whiskey,
we would be a great deal better

APPEAL TO CHRISTIANS.
A Christian WOman'S Views On The
LIQUOR Question.

| am one of the Christian women
of Williamsburg county. 1t seems
to Inc that it naturally follows that
| am deeply interested in the move
ment to vote whiskcy out of the
State. | cannot understand any
Christian, whether man or woman,
who could be otherwise.
| have read and listened to dis
cussions of this question for many
years and am clearly convinced that
i Christian can ,lo but one of two
things in connection with whiskey
selling, He must leave the matter
entirely alone or he must forbid it
altogether. He cannot legalize
wrong.
To my nina the dispensary sys-
TEN and high license are much the
same in principle, which principle
Is wrong. Both declare: "You may
do this wrong if you pay the State
so much money"
suppose there is not a man or
woman in the State who does not
know whiskey selling to be bad
business. Dangerous to the man
who sells it and dangerous to the
public at large. Will it make tina t
danger less great or the wrong right.
if the State be paid bribe to leave
it alone? Could a Christian man
vote for such law?
1t IS all foolishness for men to
say: "There is no use in making Il
law that will be broken" Was there
ever law made that has not been
broken?
God knew when He made the ten
commandments that they would be
broken. Did H. do wrong to make
them? The responsibility of the
law-maK. .r is to make the law right,
The man who breaks the law is re-
sponsible for his own act and should
be punished. | wonder if the men
Of South Carolina would allow the
State to he filled with rattle snakes
if some one would pay so much fer
every snake turned looses Many a
man would be bitten and killed by
those snakes, but it would be the

their bite; while the bite of the
snakes in every bottle of whiskey,
whether dlspensary whlskey or not,
is destroying not only the bodies,
but the souls of men and women Ii
