A W ord to Boys.

A word to you, sonny-you little
twelve or thirteen year old boy who
is smoking cigarettes on the sly.
What do you want to be when you
grow up-a stalwart, healthy, vigo-
rous, broad-shouldered man, or lit
tie, puny, measly, no-account, weak
minded dude? If you want to be a
man, with hair on your face, brains
in your head, and muscles in your
limbs, you just let those cigarettes
alone. If you want to be thing pit
led by your folks, despised by the
girls, heldin contempt by the fellows,
keep right on smoking:-Seneca (Mo.)
Hustler.

No Marriage License Law.

Senator Carlisle called up his bill
providing for marriage license and
registering law. Senator Hardin,
who is one of the few bachelor men,
bers of the senate, made the motion
to strike out the enacting words.
Senator Carlisle made a strong argu-
ment for the bill. He ridiculed the
idea, advanced by some opponents of
the measure, that the enactment of a
marriage license law would neces-
sarily lead to the passing by the South
Carolina legislature of divorce law.
He characterized the objection as an
absurdity. He declared that he does
not believe that q divorce law will
ever appear upon a statute book OF
this state. He does not faver such a
law himself and does not know of q
single man. with the exception of one
member of the senate, who does favor
it. South Carolina is the only state
In the union that does not throw some
safeguards around the marriage cere-
mony; In fact, it is the only state or
country in the civilized world which
does not. Cities in this state, especi-
ally Spartanburg and some of the
cities lying close to the North Caro-
lima line, are today the matrimonial
dumping ground for our sister states.
After considerable discussion, on
the motion to strike out the enacting
words the vote was II to IA. There
being a tie vote, the chair voted aye,
and the bill was killed.

Senate Went Believe Them.

Much time was spent in the senate
Thursday debating Senator Efrd's
bill to relieve State Treasurers Bates,
Zimmerman and Jennings from inan-
cial responsibility On their bonds for
the Zimmerman bond embezzlement,
amounting to s12, 800, and accrued in
terest. The bill was finally showed
under by a vote of 27 to II. This
charge against the bonds of the treas
urers grows out of the loss of valuable
bonds, for which the responsibility
has never been fixed. The matter is
still in the courts.

MOUNTAIN TRIP

In making a journey anywhere
through Colorado one is impressed
with the fact that the development
of this state is going on at rapid
rate everywhere. l went to Tellu-
ride and was entertained by Mr..
9. Turner and his charming wife,
they are Denverites, who are do
ing well. The pastor of the M. E.
church, Rev. Kerwin is a grand
young minister. He arranged for
lecture for me in his church Sun
day night, June 16. an orchestra
helped the choir to give us music.
/ preached to his people Sunday
morning and if the greeting at the
close OF each service be taken as
evidence, his people appreciated
our effort, we were helped in our
work also by Mrs. Emma jackson.
| lectured in the Congregational
church of Montrose on Tuesday
night, the pastor, Rev Shindler
had warm words of praise for our
cause at the close of the lee
ture. l was entertained while
i'll Montrose by Mr.. H. s.
Pitts and his interesting
family. His young daughter Miss
Edna bids fair to graduate with
honor class 1908. Mrs. Pitts does
good restaurant business. We
came next to Grand junction, Rev.
G. FL. Brown and a committee had
started in to give an entertainment,
Mrs. John Mapps was chairman of
the affair. In short while they
arranged a dinner which would
have done credit to a much more
pretentious town and fed 200 peo-
pie, this shows how we'll all the
members of that committee worked
together it also demonstrated this
fact that if the good people of
that metropolis of the western slope
could be induced to work together
they could certainly accomplish
wonders. On the night of the Goth
of June | was to lecture in the
M. E. church, a splendid audience
room, our crowd was not large at
the lecture. The Pastor of the M.
E. church is spoken of as great
hearted liberal christian minister
some thought he had his hands
full with his church work, and he
has to entertain the conference in
his church soon. Messrs 7. r.
Heron, John Mapps and Al Fields
helped in arranging for the lecture.
