If you found it easier to do your
washing on Tuesday than on Monday, you
would change at once. Sensible women
would! Yet there are some women who
still wash clothes in the old-fashioned, hard
rubbing. way, just because their mothers
taught them so.
Are you wearing out yourself and your
clothes boiling and rubbing? Why not
try Fels-Naptha soap? It's the new, mod
ern way of washing. Use it in cold or
lukewarm water-no boiling or hard-rub-
bing-and your clothes will be cleaner,
whittier, and wear longer.

Amusement Question.

The amusement question. it is expected
will come in for generous share of the
conference deliberations. There is stat
ute of the Methodist Episcopal Church
enacted by the general conference of 1872
prohibiting its members from attending
the theater. dancing, playing cards. going
to the circus and indulging in similar
amusements The members are given no
discretion in the matter. The rule is alb
soiute. AS a matter of fact. in some of
the churches. particularly in the large
cities. the law is constantly violated. and
has become a dead letter. This fact has
led to an agitation In recent years for
the repeal of the statute of 1872. There
is now i'm the constitution Of the church
a rule prohibiting members from indulg-
ing in such diversions as may not be
taken In the name of the Lord Jesus
Should the statute above referred to he
repealed the Interpretation of the rule in
the constitution will he left to each indi-
v,dual member or local pastor of church,
Discussion of this question occupied much
OF the time of the general conference four
years ago. but the statute was not re-
pealed; When brought up again this time
the move to strike out the statute may
be successful.

is stated, by physician and the 9TH

the same man. The affair came near
being so fatal that the citizens have
been up in arms against this doctor
since that time. DR.. Wilson, the man
asked to leave, has replied to one of
the petitions, so it is reported here,
that he does not intend leaving the
county. Thus the matter rests, but

Purnell's charge, dealing largely and
pointedly with the prohibition ques-
ton, as he expressed the opinion that
prohibition does not prohibit, but
added that for violations of prohibi-

be given; that while he might not be-
ieve in prohibition, though his per-
sonal opinion on the subject had no
right to be expressed in court, yet
both State and government officers
should strive to uphold the law.
While he had gathered from the
newspapers that in many prohibition
communities in North Carolina, State
officers did not do their duty, yet
the government officers were dong
theirs, and his court did not intend
to impose any more thirty and sixty
days Jail sentences in such cases but
unless there appeared mitigating cir
cumstances, he would impose heavy
penitentiary sentence; that although
he would make no rule, his court
would be inclined to impose the max.
