Of the Methodist pastor at NAL
ia Bend, the announced exchange
Of pulpits between Malta Bend
and Marshall was not effected
In the morning the pastor, Rev.
E. o. Smith, preached on the
Subject "The Devil i'm the home
In the evening he discussed the
theme, 1.-THE Mastery OF Self.
Last Monday evening Rev. W.
+. Jones, Sedalia District Super
intendent addressed that portion
of his Marshall friends that
braved the adverse weather on
the subject " Gods Presence
With us in the Midst OF the storm
1t was a delightful address, re-
plete with pointed and unusual
Incidents for Illustrations. At
the close OF his sermon the Sa-
crament OF the Lords Supper
was administered.
Immediately after the sacra-
ment the third Quarterly Confer
Cnce was held. The reports
showed an increwse in member
ship OF twenty-five PER cent dur
ing the last quarter. When the
stewards announced that the
pastors salary had been rad up
in full too, the superintendent
stated that Marshall is the only
charge in the who,e Sedalia Dis
trict that is not behind on pas
tors salary.
The report OF the various Off
GERS to the Quarterly Conference
indicated success bought only by
faithful strenuous efforts. The
people of the First NJ. Z. Church
have found in the last few
months that they have numerous
friends in Marshall and that this
industry and devotion is keenly
appreciated by the public at
large. The officers have made it
their general expression that
they intend to work harder than
ever during the ensuing quarter.
The interest taken in the pray
er meeting Nov. 18 was a distinct
encouragement, thlrty-five per
cent more people were present
than at the proceeding Wednes-
day.
Members and friends OF the
First n. E. Church have organ
lied a MERRY Bachelors Club"
None under sixteen or over
thirty are allowed to join this
club. OF course no married men
are admitted, and any member
obtaining a marriage license
thereby forfeits his membership.
They are to meet once a week for
a social evening.
An interesting feature Of the
Sunday School is the base ball
game being played by the Reds
and the Blues. The pastor prom
isse a Christmas gift to every
player who makes, between now
and Christmas, twenty-five home
runs. When q new pupil enters
hte Sunday School, his first APP
pearance is a home run. And
every time he appears at Sunday
School hereafter until Christmas
he will make another home run
to the credit of the one who first
invited him to come. Thus a sin
gle new scholar coming regularly
for six months piles up a record
OF twenty-fiv home runs. The
contestants for honors are divid-
ed into two opposing teams each
team trying to make the largest
number OF home runs. A re-

RALEIGH, N. C., February Especial CORE
spondence) In his final message to the legisla-
ture today Governor Glenn, in the matter OF the
law which has just been passed submitting the
question of Prohibition to popular vote, says:
asked by the Anti Saloon League and beiev-

territory of the state having already endorsed
Prohibition, it would be too costly and only en-

MORE lawful RESULTS"
People of Birmingham With Saloons Closed
Rush to Throw Away Their Money in
Shoe Stores and Restaurants

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, February Ia press dis
patch) The march of Prohibition as beautlner
of Birmingham was accentuated Friday by the
commencement of repairs the Wilson house
and the Palace Royal, the two oldest hotels in
the city, for use upon the ground floors as dry
goods establishments, where never before IN the
history of the city has there been anything but
saloons They are opposite one another on the
corner of Second avenue and Twenty-hrst street
in the heart of the city. One will be occupied by
Weinstein Brothers & Co. and the other by
Charles W. Miller's department stores, both OF
which will expand upon location in the new quar-
tiers.
Very few of the old saloon quarters remain
vacant and the record of the probate office shows
the issuance of more business licenses UP to this
time this year than up to the same time last year
under saloons. Shoe stores are more numerous
than any other class of new business except res.
taurants, which are in the majority, and all OF
which appear to be doing well.
The city seems to have gone to eating more and
drinking less.

Kindly remember, that after all is said and

The movement which is now on foot IN the
state of Iowa for constitutional Prohibition
makes pertinent study of one of the most in
teresting passages in the history of that great
state-a story of juggling with the moral ele-
ment of the state at the hands of the politicians
and liquor interests that has hardly been paral-
leled in any other state of the Union.
AS might have been prophesied from the char
acter of its population, settled very largely by
people of the best old New England stock, Iowa
was one of the earliest states to respond in
force to the Prohibition movement of the early
seventies By 1877, when yet few states had
party organizations, the Prohibition party move
ment had grown to such proportions in Iowa
that more than 10000 men cast their votes for
Elias Jessup, the Prohibition candidate tor gov
ernor. This carried CONSERVATION into the ranks
of the party that then was posing, even more
than now, as "the only party that ever did any
thing for temperance" The result was that at
the state convention of the Republican party in

PROHIBITION IN IOWA
History Worthy of Careful Study
Moment

the submission of constitutional amendment
for the Prohibition of the liquor traffic to the
popular vote of the people of Iowa. This
complished the desired result. The Prohibition
vote of that year fell to 5000 and the opponents
of the liquor business arrayed themselves almost
solidly with the Republican party.
In the following winter the legislature passed
the resolution providing for the submission of
constitutional amendment, to be voted on at a
special election to be held in June of 1882. The
result of this election a large majority for
Prohibition; but clever trick had been worked
upon the people, and it soon discovered that
in one of the legislative records an unimportant
amendment of three words had been omitted in
recording the passage of this BILL and the
preme court promptly declared the whole pro-
ceedngs unconstitutional That the people of
the state of Iowa believed that the Republican
leaders had tricked them was evident in their
voting that fall, for the Republican party lost
three Congressman.
The lesson was not unheeded and the leglsa-
ture straghtway enacted a prohlbltory statute
which so satisfied the people that even the great
campaign of 1884 aroused but little interest IN
Iowa. and in 1885 only 1,4Oo men voted the Pro-
hibition ticket
1t hardly needs to be recited here how, over
the greater part of the state of Iowa, the pro-
hibtory law magnificent success; how the
saloon was closed and with it the jail; how the
schools prospered and business Aourished, and
the homes were happy. There is no tact OF his
tory better authenticated than the success OF
Prohibition in by far the greater part OF Iowa.
True, there were sections of the state, particu-
larly the river cities, where the liquor element
was in rebellion against the statute and the
peoples authority The rebels were abetted by
high state officials and by the federal govern
ment, under the interstate commerce law, and
their rebellion was in considerable measure,
supported by the party press, the support OF the
press growing stronger as the dominant party
came more and more to take position against
the prohibitory law.
At length in 1889, the anti-Prohibtion senti-
ment allied with certain railroad interests, Sc
cured the nomination of Horace Boies, noto-
rous Prohibitionist, upon the Democratic
ticket. The present governor OF the state, A. b.
Cummins, though then, as now, nom1naly he
publican led revolving wing of the Republican
party into the Democratic camp under the anti
Prohibition banner and secured the election OF
Boies.
It is sometimes charged that the Prohibition
party was responsible for this defeat of the
Republicans and that it thus drove many of the
Republicans to the reputation of Prohibition.
There could be nothing more untruthfu than
this statement. The Prohibitionists, almost
unanimously supported the Republican party.
In that year only 1900 men voted the Prohibi-
ton state ticket, and at the following election

In the main, the credit for Prohibition that
prohibits is to be given to the underlying and
dominating common sense of the American peo-
ple-Atlanta Constitution.

THE MAN AND HIS JOB.
THE oPTIMIsT CLUB.

The newest organization In this
country, and II should soon become
the largest. Is the optimist Club OF
America. The creed and purpose OF
the club are indicated by It's name,
The watchword which admits TO
membership and participation is
"smlle" The constitution and by
laws are brief and to the point, as
follows:
Talk optimistlcally.
Think enthusiastically.
Act enthusiastically.
The "doughnut verse" which has
been SO widely quoted In recent
months, helps to express the phIloso4
ply OF the optlmist club This verse
and some other optimistic philosophy
follow:
'Twlxt optimist and pesslmist "
The difference is droll;
The optlmist sees the doughnut,
The pesslmist the hole.
"A smile is Gods own medicine
The greatest smiler is the greatest
healer.
Hardluck stories are like overdue
notes.
Shake hands as though you meant
It, and smile.
A kind word to tired wife Is
like drop OF dew to wilted flower.
An optlmist strikes out the two
first letters of the word impossible"
and then starts in to prove IT,
A good optlmlst is poor egotist.
An optimlst knows that the mist"
will certainly be dispelled and clear
ed way. The pesslmlst is betting
even money 1t will last always.
There is no corner on kindness
love is its own paymaster.

INCREASING TRAFFIC.

A decrease OF over $4,000 In the
Number OF idle freight cars during
the latter half Of May, is shown In the

dated May 81. on that date there
wore 3S1,779 idle freight cars,
against 4O4,475 on May 10. the date
OF the previous report This makes
the second consecutive decrease In
idle cars, the previous report having
shown a reduction OF about 5000
cars from the maximum OF 41S,S3S
reached on April 20.
The latest decrease was due To the
transfer OF at least 40 per cent. OF
about 5000 idle cars. to the shop list.
indicating that the railroads have be-
gun to repair larger number Of Idle
freight cars, but IL is not to be In
fcrred that the actual increase in
traffic has been sufficient to require
the use OF all OF these cars.
A further large part OF the de-
crease is explained by the fact that
the gradual resumption Of bitumin-
GUS coal mining has called back into
service a good many coal cars. made
idle by the suspension Of work Of a
few months ago. The number OF idle
box cars did not vary materially dur
