LEGISLATURE OF NEXT YEAR.

1t will be worth millions of dollars
to Texas if the people will make an
earnest, intelligent effort to induce
capable and reliable men in every
county to offer as legislative aspir
ants and then elect them. Why may
not the citizenship in each county call
its best men to the front and say to
them: 1T will be somewhat of a sac
rifice on your part, we concede, to
go to Austin. But you owe something
to your state and people. Make the
sacrifice and thus serve Texas. We
want you to do this and appeal to
your civic pride and patriotism" If
this were done all over Texas it would
surely have weight and influence with
men who are patriotic and public
spirited and the outcome would be a
legislative body whose work would,re-
dound to the good of the state. But

Religious joy is stranger to the di-

Religious joy is a stranger to the di-
vided soul.
| 1.-THE apostle urges reasons for this
separation-the world is unclean. He
| who is striving for purity must part
company with the world Externally
it may appear fair and beautiful, but
within it is full of all manner of I'M
cleanliness. The robe that covers it
may be as rich and beautiful as the
robe of Naaman, but underneath the
folds is the vileness of a rotten lep-
rosy.
God promises to receive us if we
will but come; this is what the prodi-
gal wondered about in the far coun-
try, Will my father receive me?' Did
he receive him? He ordered the fat
ted calf killed; he threw about his boy
his arms of love and joy filled and
thrilled the home with it's presence.
Into the holy of holes of His con-
fidence our Father promises to admit
us as his honored children Why then
will we, as christians, parley with the
world and see how little we can put
into our religious life Let us be
whole-hearted, enthusiastic, devoted
christians and thus enter into the
secret places of the Most High. Let
us take pleasure in acknowledging
Him everywhere, and throw our influ-
ence for His kingdom at all times"
The revival will continue tomorrow
and all of next week. Rev. Moore
will continue to do the preaching.
Tomorrow afternoon a special mems
will be held in the church.
All men are invited.

CITY SCHOOL FUNDS.

The public school board will hold a

patrons of the schools with the actual
conditions as to the school funds
The Herald believes statement Of
this kind is timely and is due the PEG.
pie who are asked to vote an addi-
tional tax to provide a larger school
fund. If the board can show that the
present funds are not sufficient to
carry on the school work the Herald
believes the people will vote for the
proposition. This is a matter where
the people who are asked to pay the
cost should be taken into the fullest
confidence, and we are sure the mem
5ers of the school board are willing
hat the people should know the full
truth about the conditions in the
schools. If it is shown that the
schools must have the funds the PEG
ole should rally to the support of the
trustees and provide the funds. Lei

school privileges possible 1t is a

THE METHODIST REVIVAL
Rev. Moore Continues to Preach
Strong Sermons-lnterest and
Attendance Increases.

The revival at the Centenary Meth,
odist church is growing in interest,
and last night witnessed one of the
best services of the week. The music
was inspiring, and following the
splendid sermon good interest was
manifested Many stood up asking
for prayer.
Rev. Moore's topic last evening was
Separation From the World" based
on that familiar passage from the
letter to the Corinthians, which reads,
Wherefore, come out from amongst
p1hem, and be ye separate"
Said Rev. Moore: 1.-THE average
christian is trying to see how near
the world he can live and not how
positive and pronounced and effective
christian he can become. When
the children of Israel crossed over in
to the land of promise they at once
Struck out toward tHe luCeTlOr. lHey
did not send for surveyor to run
the lines and determine whether they
were really within the land of Ca
naan, but Immediately they laid their
plans to occupy the very heart of the
country Continually christians are
calling on their. pastors to determine
their whereabouts, when if they were
devoted, pressing forward with their
faces toward Jerusalem, there would
never be shadow of doubt as to
their standing.
1T is impossible to serve the world
and at the same time to serve God.
Compromises are impossible and I'M
satisfying. When the ark of God is in
the temple Dagon must be prone and
broken on the floor, or if Dagon is to
be honored the ark must be removed.

ANDERSON COUNTY MEAT
Mr.. C. T. Smith Brought In Wagon
Load of Home Cured Bacon and
Hams For Market.

Who will say that Anderson county
is not coming along? The evidence
is being offered every day This
morning Mr.. C. T. Smith, who lives
two miles out from the city. was in
town with full wagon load of home
cured bacon and hams, offering the
home product to the local merchants
This is such an unusual occurrence
that it is worth mention and worth
making special note of. The usual
program is to buy meat cured in Kan
sas City or Chicago. Old Anderson
is learning many things. and some of
these days is going to make a full
living at home and have a big SUR
plus of many things, including meats
to sell.

taken on new life the last few days,
md many new names are being ad-

joining the Herald's army of readers
say they admire paper with convic-

stand by paper that will fight for
its convictions. And the funny part
Of it is not all of these people agreed

PERJURY IS CHARGED
A coxEcUH COUNTY MAN IN MO-

Ire Robinson Swore Falsely In His App1icatfon for Position of Ru-
 ra1 nTniI Carrier--A Form CT Convict.

Mobile, July Is.--(Speeisl. l--charged with perjury In connection with sn ap- piication for position Of a rural mail carrier. Ike Robinson. of China, Conecuh county. is in the prison of this city. He was brought on here yesterday by Deputy Marshal q. II. Gates and will have to remain in jail until the November term of the United States Court.
 It appears from, the statement made this morning by United States Marshal e. B. Deans, that Robinson. in his ap- plication for the position. swore that he had never been accused of crime. nor indicted nor sent to prison. The rec oFds show the marshal says. that en January 31 1905, he was sent 10 the government penitentiary on charge of using the mails for Fraudulent pur- poses, and that he was released from the Atlanta iail. on December l2 1905.
 Robinson's undoing appears to have been through the references he gave. When the civil service people started in to investigate these references. if was promptly stated by the people to whom he had referred, that he had been in the pepitentiary. This led the government officials to make further Investigation and Robinson's arrest followed
 United States Marshal Deans states that he remembers distinctly having carried the man to the jail at Atlanta.
