getting anything out as the younger

and no one was there to assist thu
family. The insurance on the house
was $500 but nothing on the con.
tents, SO the loss above Fhe insurance
was considerable.

Rev. Billy" Sunday yesterday evening
guided twenty-four souls into the
kingdom of God, some Of them church
members who admitted that their past
lives had not been what they should
determined to follow the teachings of
the Bible In the future. This brings
the total conversions to 1873.
Last nights sermon pointed the way
to q sure knowledge that the salvation
of Christ saves quoting from the Bible
the simple way by which the learning
may be gotten. These words from John
vii: II formed the text: IF any man
will do his will. he shall know of the
doctrine, whether it be of God, or
whether l speak of myself"
II would like" said Mr.. Sunday, ito

that no man or woman, boy or GIRL can
rise in the day Of judgment and say
that they listened atfentively to this
evenings sermon and were unable to
learn the way to salvation. l want TIC
strip 1t of all theology, theories and
fol-de- rolls and all that befuddles man
kind, and bring out before you, in all
its naked simplicity, the truth. 1t is a
truth that anybody with any sense can
understand. God knew that the most
of us would have limited minds, so he
made simple plan Of redemption. He
did not invent salvation open only tc
the highly educated, but His is a SAL
walton for all.

MANFAVORSDISPENSARY

Senator Tinman. OF South Carolina,
yesterday before he left the city. talk
ed of the method in South Carolina Of
dealing with the liquor question. The
Senator said he had made a study of
the question nearly an h,s lie and
he believed a dispensary system, as
in his State. is the true solution.
Under it's workings there is no element
Of personal profit, and consequently he
said no incentive for violation of the
law. Mr.. Tnlman said that in his
State. owing 20 somo alleged dis
honesty and Irregularities, the Legis-
lature changed the law abolishing rhe
State Dispensary Board.
At present the governing OF tho dis
ponsary Is confined TO the several
counties, each of which votes whether
II shall be disDensary or prohibition.
Some counties which had heretofore
operated dispensaries have become dry,
Including Spartanburg and Greenville
the largest cotton manufacturing coun-
ties in the country
There are at present out OF the
~ counties in South Carolina, seven
teen of them dry
The Senator added that "Prohibi-
tion does not prohibit but 1t Is better
in his opinion than any license system

BURNs-sQUIREs FIGHT OFF.
The Australian PugiIist Says No Fax
ers For Him.

San Francisco, Cal, May 1s.-The
real reason for the changing of the
date In the Burns-Squires fight from
May 80 to July was made known
when friend of the Australian de-
clared that Bill Squires visited Cof-
froth, matchmaker and promotes of
the club at Colma, and declared that
he would have nothing to do with IA
kers and that he absolutely refused to
fight the Canadian.
Coffroth, it is learned, did not care
to inform the public of Squfres' move,
and therefore announced a postpone
ment in the hopes that Squires might
be induced to change his mind or to
give Coffroth time to secure another
opponent.
mo takers can fight me-" are the
words that fell from the lips of the
Australian.
Coffroth. it is understood. is after
the winner of the Schreck-Hart fight
to meet Squires on July 4. Bill is
in perfect condition and fit to tackle
the toughest man in the ring even to-
day, but the crookedness of Burns and
O'Brien deprives him of showing the
public his merits as a fighter on Deco
ration day.
Squires, who is a quiet fellow and
talks little, has many harsh things to
say about the recent Burns-O'Brien
fight.
