The Columbia Herald received a
rising vote of appreciation at the
monday session of the w. G. T. U.
Convention, because of the policy pur-
sued for long years by this paper in
refusing to run whiskey advertising.
for its aid to the local chapter In pub
fishing, when requested, a w. c. T.
u. column, and because of its fight for
matter came before the convention
when Mrs. Gould arose to discuss the
question of Purity in Literature and
Art" which is one of the objects for
which the w. C. T. u is striving.
At the close of Mrs. Gould's discussion
Mrs. L. P. Padgett arose and told of
the policy followed by The Herald in
its advertising columns, and of its
fight for temperance and good morals
in the editorial and news departments.
The morning program was largely
routine and was followed closely. The
increase in the attendance on the con-
vention forced the ladies to move
from the Sunday-school room of the
First Methodist church to the large
auditorium in the church proper. This
increased attendance is indicative of
the interest taken in the convention
by the town people, of the marked sue
cess of the proceedings and the rapid
increase in temperance sentiment.
After the opening exercises this
morning and the question box, the re-
port of Mrs. P. w. Morris, the cor
responding secretary, was read, which
showed an improvement over any past
year in the history of the order. Spe.
cial topics were then discussed briefly,
the first being How to profit by
Mrs. McTeer of Mary
vile, then read paper on "The Ideal
w. c. T. u" Public Meetings, How
They Help" was the subject of

STILL ANOTHER VIEW.
That Church "Trouble" at cuileoka
Gets Another Airing.

To the Editor of The Herald
There appeared in your paper Tues
day, Oct. 20, what purports to be a
correct statement of the Culleoka
church trouble by Rev. j. T. Price.
This article, as written by him, puts
the Cumberland Presbyterians at Cul
leoka and the Columbia Presbytery of
the Cumberland Presbyterian church
in false light bfoere the public
AS / am one of the ministers who
assisted in the meeting at Culleoka,
and as this article clearly misrepre-
sents the motive of the presbytery,
the members of the Cumberland Pres
byterian church at Culleoka and the
ministers who held the meetings, II
ask that may be permitted to make
a statement about the troubles at Cul-
leoka.
Rev. Mr.. Price says in his article,
The first the Presbyterians knew of
the arrangements of the loyalists to
hold meeting in the G. p. church,
was when the announcement was from
the Methodist church." 1t may be the
first Mr.. Price knew of it, but it was
not the first his elders, who have the
right to control the house of worship,
knew of it. For one of the Cumber-
and Presbyterian elders asked one of
he Presbyterian elders to put the
natter before his session, and asked
permission to hold a meeting in the1
,hurch, and he said he would. After
wards, when asked lie he submitted the
natter to the session, he said he did
lot, giving as his reason, that he had
talk with some of the elders before ,
he session met, and found that there
vas no use. Now Mr.. Price contra
lets the statement of his elder, and
avs "The matter came properly be- 8
ore my session, and was discussed
y the session"
Again Mr.. Price gets confused in :
is statement. He says The decision 9

eace, purity and unity of the church, =

lie "loyalist" presbytery, who had

vtery to divide my churches at Pleas

yes as his excuse for not granting

Who can harmonize these state
'nts? Let the public answer. First,
want to say that the three ministers

Timely City Ordinance.

1t having come to pass that some
persons failing to understand that
the Clearing House Certificates are
really and truly good fir their face
value, and being DESTROYS of having
currency instead and there being a
few people who were taking advant-
age of such persons by discounting
the certificates, thereby specializing
on those who have not the knowledge
to protect themselves against such
practice, the City Council wisely met
today and passed an ordinance that
will protect them from being i'm
posed upon in this manner, by attach
ing a severe penalty to the individual
taking such advantage, and conduct
ing such business.
This timely action upon the part OF
the City Council, no doubt, will ne
heartily endorsed by every mer-
chant and business nan in the city
as it will furnish substantial protec-
ton against the INSCRIPTIONS specu'
lation in and abuse of the plan they
themselves sought and obtained by
generous response of our local banks
1t will also protect the ignorant ant
unwary among US from being made
! the victims of such practice. The

CLEARING HOUSE CERTIFICATES
WELL SECURED
WILL BE PROMPTLY REDEEMED
Accepted at Par by all Business Men,
and for Taxes

1t may be that some skeDtical fell
low will come along and try to raise
a doubt as to the security Of our
Clearing House Certificates. There
are a few such wiseacres running
loose in the world, and they are liable
to bob up in Live Oak, or anywhere
else, at almost any time, but no mat
ter who he is, or from whence he may
hail, his talk can not affect the
genuine validity and solid security
of the certificate. If you will read
the face and back of one of these
certificates, you will see that it's pay
ment is secured to the trustees of
the association one and one-half
times by good collateral already
turned over, and besides this, it is
endorsed on the back by the banks,
and their guarantee of payment
attested.
Thus it will be seen that every dol
| lar of the issue is more than dOubly
| secured. With the combined capital
stock of these banking Institutions,
aggregating $4,000, and securities
to the amount of one and one-half
times the face value of the certificate
I besides, who can be so foolish as to
raise q question or doubt concerning
them? The United States pOstOffice
receives them at par without Ques-
ton; railroads accept them at pac for
all bills; the State accepts them in
! payment of taxes, at face value, our
merchants advertise that they are as
good as gold in payment of accounts
or purchases-in fact we know of
no one who has been so foolish as
to refuse to honor them. Indeed, as
to their security if every bank in
town were to be swallowed up by
some great monster today, or any
other day S. A. Hinely, w. J. Hill
man and ii. NJ. Wood, the trustees
of the Association into whose hands
has been placed such ample securities,
would redeem every dollar with
United States currency on or before
the first day of March, 1908, at which
time the certificate natures.

BUSY PENSION DEPARTMENT.
Extra Clerks Necessary to Keep Up
With the Applications.

Tallahassee, Fla, Nov. 16.-Work
in the Pension Department continues
to increase. The applications have
run we'll above the ten-thousand
mark, though it must be understood
that this number represents the total
number of applications on file, and
not the number filed under the new
law.
More than 5000 have applied un-
der the recently enacted law, and
there is every probability that the
funds will be exhausted before the
applicants are provided for.
Though the law made no provision
for it, it has become necessary to en-
ploy several additional clerks to as
sist with the increased work to grade
and classify applications so that they
may come before the board in a com
prehensible shape. Thus far, the pen
sion fund holds up well, but if the
present rate of increase continues
much longer the deficit is inevitable

Gates, which applies with equal force
here in Live Oak:
Many of the cities where clearing

have found it necessary to pass ordin-

these certificates by sharks who take
advantage of the ignorance of the ne
groes and poorer class, and make a
business of decrying their value and
purchasing the mat a material dis
count. The certificates are worth
face value in any of the stores Of
these cities and the authorities claim
that a person discOunting them is
guilty Of the offense of cheating and
swindling. Many arrests have been
reported from all over the country
for this offense and even the smaller
towns are having their troubles along
this line"
